A complete intelligent control system typically integrates multiple control devices, display devices, relays, input / output modules, power modules, sensors, and servo motors, among other devices. The electrical connections and signal interconnections between these devices constitute an important part of the system.

[0003] Currently, industrial automation control systems typically use electrical cabinets for equipment installation and connection. Inside the cabinet, wires connect various devices to terminal blocks, from which connections to external devices are then established. For communication connections between devices, different types of communication cables are required, such as RS232 cables, Ethernet cables, and CAN bus cables, to connect the communication interfaces of each device. Simultaneously, power distribution equipment and power lines are needed to supply power to each device, including various power sources such as 220V AC, 48V DC, and 24V DC.

[0004] This connection method presents several problems in practical applications. Because each device requires individual wiring, the internal wiring of the electrical cabinet becomes complex, resulting in a large workload. When equipment needs replacement or maintenance after a period of system operation, it is necessary to remove and reconnect all cables one by one, which can easily lead to wiring errors. Furthermore, the large number of terminals and cables increases the potential points of failure in the system, reduces its reliability, and hinders routine maintenance and troubleshooting.

[0031] This application presents a schematic diagram of the integrated base plate structure according to the first embodiment. Please refer to... Figure 1 The integrated baseboard includes: several device access interfaces and several external ports;

[0032] Each of the aforementioned device access interfaces is electrically connected to a corresponding external port, and the aforementioned device access interfaces are interconnected with each other.

[0033] The device access interface is used to connect devices and enable communication between the devices;

[0034] The external port is used to connect to a power source to supply power to the device, and to enable communication between the device and external devices.

[0035] The device access interface refers to a standardized interface unit used to connect various functional module devices. It refers to a pre-installed, standardized plug-in structure on the base plate for quick device connection and disconnection. The device access interface includes a power interface, a communication interface, and a control signal interface, providing both power supply and signal transmission capabilities to the connected device. For example, the device access interface can use standard industrial interface forms to connect corresponding devices, such as DB interfaces, RJ45 interfaces, or dedicated plug-in structures.

[0036] Specifically, the device access interfaces are primarily used to enable rapid access and interconnection of various functional modules. Multiple circuits are integrated within the integrated backplane, such as power distribution lines, communication lines, and control signal lines. The power distribution lines distribute power from external ports to each device access interface, ensuring that each interface receives the necessary operating power. The communication lines connect the device access interfaces via a bus or network structure, enabling data exchange between connected devices. The control signal lines transmit control signals between devices, supporting collaborative control between them.

[0037] When a functional module needs to be installed, simply align the device with the corresponding access interface and plug it in to complete the installation. The contacts inside the interface will automatically establish an electrical connection with the module. The access interfaces of each device are interconnected through integrated wiring inside the base plate, allowing the connected functional modules to directly communicate and exchange signals without the need for additional connecting cables.

[0038] In some embodiments, the connection function of the device access interface can be implemented in a variety of ways: Optionally, a slide rail interface structure is adopted, including: setting a standardized slide rail on the integrated base plate, arranging power contacts and signal contacts on the inner side of the slide rail; setting a slider structure that matches the slide rail on the functional module; installing the functional module onto the slide rail by sliding, and fixing it by a locking mechanism.

[0039] Optionally, a plug-in interface structure can be adopted, including: setting a standardized slot structure on the base plate; setting a corresponding plug-in structure on the functional module; completing the installation through vertical plug-in and securing it with a snap-fit ​​structure. It is understood that other types of interface structures can also be used to achieve the device's access function; this is not limited here.

[0040] External ports refer to terminal blocks used to connect external devices and power supplies, enabling electrical connections and signal transmission. External ports typically include power input terminals, communication interface terminals, and control signal terminals, simultaneously meeting the system's power supply and external communication needs. For example, external ports can include various types such as AC power terminals, DC power terminals, RS485 communication terminals, and Ethernet terminals.

[0041] Specifically, the external ports are primarily used for connecting the system to external devices and for power supply. These ports connect to the access interfaces of each device via integrated wiring within the backplane, distributing external power to each functional module and facilitating data exchange between the system and external control or monitoring equipment. The external ports are centrally located for ease of overall system cabling and maintenance. When a connection to an external device is needed, simply connect the wires to the corresponding terminals.

[0042] In some embodiments, the connection function of the external port can be achieved in a variety of ways: optionally, a crimp terminal structure is adopted, including: setting a flexible crimp terminal in the terminal area of ​​the base plate; stripping the external cable and inserting it into the terminal; and achieving a reliable connection by tightening with screws.

[0043] Optionally, a pluggable terminal structure can be adopted, including: a standard terminal socket on the base plate; matching terminal plugs; and quick connection and disconnection via plugging and unplugging. It is understood that other types of terminal structures can also be used to achieve external connection functions, and this is not limited here.

[0044] In this application, due to the adoption of an integrated base plate structure, the equipment access interface, external ports and internal connection lines are integrated on a single base plate, and the equipment can be quickly connected through standardized interfaces. Therefore, the wiring structure of the system is significantly simplified, the system installation and maintenance are made more convenient, the system reliability and stability are improved, and the problems of requiring a lot of manual wiring and complex wiring that is prone to errors in traditional solutions are effectively solved.

[0045] Based on the first embodiment of this application, in the second embodiment of this application, the content that is the same as or similar to that in Embodiment 1 above can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. Based on this, please refer to... Figure 2 Based on the first embodiment, this embodiment proposes a more specific structure and layout of the integrated base plate, as follows:

[0046] KA0 to KA12 are the device access interfaces, and A1 to A25 are the external ports.

[0047] Optionally, the external port includes several power input ports and several communication ports;

[0048] The power input port is electrically connected to each of the device access interfaces, and the communication port is electrically connected to the corresponding device access interface.

[0049] Specifically, the external ports consist of several power input ports and several communication ports. The power input ports are responsible for drawing in external power and distributing it to each device access interface through internal wiring, ensuring a stable power supply for each connected device. The communication ports are responsible for establishing connections with external control equipment or monitoring systems to achieve data exchange. It should be noted that one device access interface can correspond to multiple communication ports, and one power input port can connect to multiple device access interfaces. This categorized design makes power supply and communication functions independent, improving system reliability and ease of maintenance.

[0050] Optionally, the device access interface adopts a pluggable design.

[0051] Specifically, in terms of interface design, the device access interface adopts a pluggable design mechanism. The interface integrates power contacts, communication contacts, and control signal contacts. The interface structure uses a guide positioning design with anti-reverse insertion functionality, ensuring that the device can only be connected in the correct manner. When installing new equipment, simply align the device's connector with the guide groove of the interface and push gently to complete the installation; the contacts will automatically establish a reliable electrical connection. When replacing or maintaining equipment, simply operate the locking mechanism for quick disassembly; the entire process requires no tools, greatly improving maintenance efficiency. Each interface is equipped with a spring-loaded locking anti-drop mechanism, providing dual protection through mechanical locking and elastic clamping to ensure a stable connection even in vibration environments. Simultaneously, the interface also integrates a dustproof protective structure, effectively preventing dust from entering when no equipment is inserted.

[0052] Optionally, the integrated base plate has a wiring terminal area on its side, and the external ports are centrally located in the wiring terminal area.

[0053] For details, please refer to Figure 2 In the overall structural design of the base plate, to achieve standardized wiring and centralized management, a dedicated terminal block area is specifically designated on one edge of the base plate body. This area adopts a stepped layout, orderly arranging all external ports, including various power input ports and communication ports, according to their function, while maintaining sufficient safety spacing. Each port is equipped with clear silkscreen markings indicating important information such as port type, voltage level, or communication protocol type. The design of the terminal block area fully considers the wiring operation space, ensuring that maintenance personnel can easily perform wiring operations. This centralized arrangement not only makes the system's external wiring more standardized and orderly, facilitating construction and daily maintenance, but also greatly reduces the risk of wiring errors, improving the system's safety and reliability.

[0054] Optionally, the integrated baseboard is a multi-layer PCB structure, with different circuits arranged on different layers.

[0055] Specifically, the baseboard employs an advanced multi-layer structure design, achieving a rational distribution of different types of circuits through scientific hierarchical planning. The power layer is responsible for power transmission and distribution, using a widened copper foil design to carry larger currents; the signal layer is responsible for communication signal transmission, employing impedance matching design to ensure the transmission quality of high-speed signals; the control signal layer is used to transmit various control commands and status signals. Shielding design is used between layers, and through reasonable wiring planning, sufficient spacing is ensured for different types of signal lines, effectively avoiding crosstalk problems. The grounding layer design fully considers electromagnetic compatibility requirements, improving the system's anti-interference capability through a comprehensive grounding network design. Simultaneously, the multi-layer structure significantly increases wiring density, enabling the integration of more functional circuits within a limited space, achieving miniaturization and compactness of the baseboard, and reducing the system's footprint. This layered design not only ensures reliable transmission of various signals but also reserves ample resources for system expansion.

[0056] Based on the first and / or second embodiments of this application, in the third embodiment of this application, the content that is the same as or similar to the first and second embodiments described above can be referred to the above description and will not be repeated hereafter. Based on this, this embodiment provides a device including an integrated base plate;

[0057] The equipment including the integrated base plate includes: several modular devices and an integrated base plate;

[0058] Several of the modular devices are connected to the integrated base plate;

[0059] Specifically, equipment including an integrated baseboard refers to a complete functional system composed of an integrated baseboard and multiple pluggable modular devices. Modular devices refer to functional units with standardized interfaces, which can be device units with different functions such as power modules, control modules, communication modules, and data acquisition modules. For example, modular devices may include power conversion modules, PLC control modules, communication gateway modules, and data acquisition modules.

[0060] Specifically, the integrated baseboard enables unified management and interconnection of modular devices. When a specific function is required by the system, the corresponding modular device is simply selected and plugged into the device access interface of the integrated baseboard. The integrated baseboard provides power to each modular device and facilitates data exchange and signal transmission between modules through an internal network. Furthermore, the integrated baseboard also enables communication between modular devices and external systems, allowing the entire system to interact with a host computer or other external devices.

[0061] In some embodiments, system integration of modular devices can be achieved in various ways: Optionally, a distributed deployment approach can be adopted, including: inserting modular devices with different functions into their corresponding device access interfaces; enabling collaborative work between modules through the internal network of the backplane; and flexibly adding or removing modules according to actual needs. Optionally, a centralized deployment approach can be adopted, including: configuring a main control module to uniformly manage other functional modules; establishing a master-slave control relationship between modules; and achieving unified scheduling and management of the system. It is understood that other types of deployment methods can also be used to achieve system integration functions, which are not limited here.

[0062] The specific workflow of the device, including the integrated baseboard, is as follows: First, there is the modular device access phase. When the modular device is inserted into the device access interface of the baseboard, the baseboard provides a stable operating power supply to the modular device through the power management circuit, and at the same time performs access protection detection to ensure the safety of the access process.

[0063] Next comes the initialization phase. After the modular device receives a stable power supply, it first performs a power-on self-test, checking the operating status of each internal functional unit, including the integrity of core components such as the processor, memory, and communication interfaces. Simultaneously, the module loads configuration parameters from its internal memory and initializes and calibrates these parameters according to the current system environment. If the modular device has adaptive capabilities, it will also automatically adjust its operating mode based on the system information provided by the baseboard.

[0064] Next comes the communication establishment phase. After initialization, the modular device will establish a communication link with other modules in the system to confirm the collaborative working relationship, including data exchange methods and control permissions.

[0065] Finally, the normal operation phase begins. After establishing a complete communication network, the modular devices start to operate collaboratively according to their predetermined functions. Modules exchange data and transmit control signals in real time through the communication network provided by the integrated backplane. Simultaneously, the integrated backplane, as a unified external interface, is responsible for processing data requests and control commands from external systems and distributing them to the corresponding modules, ensuring the coordinated operation of the system.

[0066] In some embodiments, the operation control of modular devices can be implemented in various ways: Optionally, an adaptive control method can be used, including: automatically identifying the type and function of the module after it is connected; automatically loading the corresponding operating parameters; and automatically establishing collaborative relationships according to the system configuration. Optionally, a configurable control method can be used, including: predefining the operating parameters of the module through a configuration file; establishing the association relationship between modules according to the configuration requirements; and realizing customized operation of the system. It is understood that other types of control methods can also be used to implement the operation management of modular devices, which are not limited here.

[0067] This application also provides an intelligent device, which has the aforementioned integrated base plate inside.
