Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of in-mold injection control panels, and specifically to an in-mold injection control panel with a reinforced structure. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industrial equipment, in-mold injection control panels are widely used in various electronic and mechanical systems, serving as a core component of the human-machine interface. They play a crucial role in fields such as automated machinery, medical equipment, and automotive control systems. The design of control panels typically requires a combination of mechanical strength, durability, and aesthetics, while also considering ease of operation and ergonomics.
[0003] The shortcomings of existing technology:
[0004] However, despite the certain foundations in design and function of traditional in-mold injection control panels, several significant shortcomings remain:
[0005] Insufficient impact resistance: Traditional control panels lack adequate impact absorption mechanisms in their structure. When subjected to significant external impacts, they are prone to panel damage or internal component failure, affecting the overall stability and safety of the equipment.
[0006] Limited heat dissipation: Many existing control panel designs fail to adequately consider heat dissipation requirements. As device functionality and performance increase, the electronic components behind the control panel generate more heat. Insufficient heat dissipation can lead to system overheating, affecting performance and lifespan.
[0007] Insufficient cushioning protection: In traditional designs, control panels are often not equipped with sufficient cushioning protection measures, such as cushioning pads or shockproof designs, which limits their service life and reliability under physical impact.
[0008] Therefore, this solution proposes an in-mold injection control panel with a reinforced structure to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0009] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an in-mold injection control panel with a reinforced structure.
[0010] To achieve the aforementioned objective, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: an in-mold injection molding control panel with a reinforced structure includes a mounting box and a control panel body. The upper half of the front of the mounting box is provided with a mounting through hole communicating with its interior. The control panel body is snapped into the interior of the mounting through hole. Buffer components are provided on the left and right side walls of the mounting box and at the inner positions of the four corners of the mounting through hole. The buffer sliding ends of the four buffer components are connected to the four corners of the control panel body. A sliding protective cover is slidably snapped onto the outer side of the front of the mounting box.
[0011] Preferably, the buffer component specifically includes the following structure:
[0012] Buffer guide grooves are distributed on the left and right side walls of the mounting box and at the inner side of the four corner ends of the mounting holes;
[0013] Guide posts distributed inside each of the buffer guide slots;
[0014] A sliding sleeve is slidably fitted onto the front end of each of the guide posts, and the inner wall of each sliding sleeve is fixedly connected to the side wall of the control panel body.
[0015] A buffer spring is sleeved on the rear end of each of the guide posts, and the front end of each buffer spring presses against the rear end face of each of the sliding sleeves.
[0016] Preferably, vertically distributed guide rods are installed on both the left and right sides of the mounting box, and the guide rods on both sides are slidably connected to the two sides of the sliding protective cover.
[0017] Preferably, the sliding protective cover has an observation window on its front side, and the observation window is made of explosion-proof glass.
[0018] Preferably, a magnetic clasp is installed at the top of the sliding protective cover, and the magnetic clasp is magnetically attracted to the outward protruding position at the top of the mounting box when the sliding protective cover slides to the top.
[0019] Preferably, a cushioning pad is installed at the edge of the back wall of the upper part of the installation box.
[0020] Preferably, the upper half of the mounting housing has several air intake holes evenly spaced on the back, arranged from top to bottom, with the inner sides of the air intake holes facing the back of the control panel. The bottom of the mounting housing has three heat dissipation holes, and a cooling fan is installed at each of the heat dissipation holes.
[0021] Preferably, the plurality of air inlets are inclined from the outside to the inside, and a guide plate is installed on the lower inner wall of each air inlet.
[0022] The beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in:
[0023] Excellent protective cushioning performance: The cushioning assembly includes guide posts, sliding sleeves, and cushioning springs, which work together to provide a dynamic cushioning system. When the control panel is impacted, the cushioning springs are compressed to absorb the impact force, reducing the force acting directly on the control panel body, while allowing limited displacement of the control panel to further disperse the impact force.
[0024] Optimized heat dissipation design: The control panel's cooling system ensures good airflow and heat dissipation through bottom ventilation holes and cooling fans, as well as rear air intakes and deflectors. This design helps maintain stable equipment operation and extend the lifespan of electronic components.
[0025] Combining protection and ease of operation: The sliding protective cover not only provides physical protection with its explosion-proof glass material, but also enhances safety and convenience through the use of an observation window and magnetic closure. The cover's design allows it to be easily slid up and locked when not in use, protecting the control panel, while simultaneously providing a quick and easy way to access it when needed.
[0026] Additional cushioning protection: The internal back cushioning pad provides extra protection when the control panel body slides inward due to impact, further absorbing the impact force and protecting the device from damage.
[0027] In summary, this control panel not only improves the structural strength and impact resistance of the equipment but also ensures efficient heat dissipation and ease of operation. Overall, the application of this control panel can significantly improve equipment reliability and operator efficiency, reduce maintenance and replacement costs, and is suitable for various mechanical and electronic equipment environments requiring high protection and stability.

[0045] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figures 1-7 This utility model provides an in-mold injection control panel with a reinforced structure, including a mounting housing 1 and a control panel body 2:
[0046] The upper half of the front of the mounting housing 1 has a mounting hole 11, which communicates with the interior of the mounting housing 1 to form a precise positioning and installation space. The control panel body 2 is fixed inside the mounting hole 11 by a snap-fit mechanism. The size and shape of the mounting hole 11 match the control panel body 2 to ensure a tight fit.
[0047] On the left and right side walls of the mounting housing 1, at the inner sides of the four corners of the mounting holes 11, buffer components 6 are respectively installed. Each buffer component 6 includes a buffer guide groove 64, which is located on the two side walls of the mounting housing 1, forming a guiding and buffering space. Inside each buffer guide groove 64, a guide post 61 is provided, and a sliding sleeve 63 is slidably sleeved on the guide post 61. The inner wall of the sliding sleeve 63 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the control panel body 2. This connection method ensures the stability of the structure and allows for displacement space when subjected to impact. A buffer spring 62 is sleeved at the rear end of the guide post 61, and the front end of the buffer spring 62 is pressed against the rear end face of the sliding sleeve 63. In this way, when the control panel body 2 is impacted, the buffer spring 62 can absorb the impact force and protect the control panel body 2 from damage. At the same time, the cooperation between the guide post 61 and the buffer guide groove 64 ensures the accuracy and reliability of the buffering action.
[0048] Vertically distributed guide rods 9 are installed on the left and right sides of the mounting housing 1. These guide rods 9 provide a precise guiding path, ensuring the smooth and accurate sliding of the protective cover 3 when sliding up and down. The two sides of the protective cover 3 slide through these guide rods 9. This design allows the protective cover 3 to slide up and down easily. When slid to the top, it can protect the control panel body 2. When slid to the bottom, it can expose the control panel body 2 for touch operation, making it convenient for operators to observe and operate the control panel body 2. At the same time, it ensures the stability and durability of the protective cover 3.
[0049] The sliding protective cover 3 has an observation window 31 on its front. The window is made of explosion-proof glass, which has high strength and impact resistance. It can protect the control panel body 2 from external impacts and allow operators to easily observe the status of the control panel, ensuring the safety and convenience of operation.
[0050] A magnetic plate 32 is installed at the top of the sliding protective cover 3. This magnetic design allows the sliding protective cover 3 to automatically adhere to the outward protruding position at the top of the mounting box 1 when it slides to the top, ensuring the stable positioning of the sliding protective cover 3 and making it easy for operators to quickly open and close the sliding protective cover 3.
[0051] A cushioning pad 7 is installed on the edge of the back wall of the upper part of the mounting box 1. These cushioning pads 7 are made of soft and durable materials. When the back of the control panel body 2 comes into contact with the inside of the mounting box 1, the cushioning pad 7, together with the cushioning component 6, can provide cushioning protection and reduce the impact of external bumps on the control panel body 2.
[0052] The upper half of the mounting housing 1 has several air intake holes 5 evenly spaced on the back, arranged from top to bottom. The inside of these air intake holes 5 faces the back of the control panel body 2, which helps air circulation and maintains heat dissipation of the control panel body 2. The bottom of the mounting housing 1 has three heat dissipation holes 8, and each heat dissipation hole 8 is equipped with a cooling fan 4. These cooling fans 4 can effectively dissipate the heat generated by the control panel body 2 and maintain the stable operation of the control panel.
[0053] Several air inlets 5 are distributed at an angle from the outside to the inside. Each air inlet 5 has a guide plate 51 installed on the lower inner wall. This design guides airflow and improves heat dissipation efficiency. The angle of the guide plate 51 is carefully designed to ensure that air can flow evenly across the back of the control panel body 2, carrying away heat and reducing dust accumulation.
[0054] Working principle
[0055] When an external impact force is applied to the control panel body 2, the guide post 61 and sliding sleeve 63 in the buffer assembly 6 allow the control panel body 2 to have a certain displacement space.
[0056] The buffer spring 62 absorbs the impact force when compressed, reducing the direct impact on the control panel body 2.
[0057] When the control panel body 2 slides inward due to an impact, the inner buffer pad 7 provides additional cushioning protection in a timely manner to absorb the impact force.
