The plug-in port 3 is designed for connecting an external expansion component 4. The plug-in port 3 is internally connected to a...

[0027] The external expansion component 4 includes a wiring shaft 412 that is plugged into the plug-in port 3. A fixing block 41 that fits against the control panel 2 is fixedly installed on the front side of the wiring shaft 412. An elastic end 44 is fixedly installed on the right side of the fixing block 41. The elastic end 44 can be deformed and bent to adjust the position of the expansion plug-in plate 43. The other end of the elastic end 44 is fixedly installed with the expansion plug-in plate 43, and the expansion plug-in plate 43 fits against the control panel 2. The front end of the expansion plug-in plate 43 has a socket 45. The integrated socket 45 structure design allows for quick plug-in and plug-out operations.

[0028] In this embodiment, an anti-disengagement sleeve 42 is fixedly provided on the outside of the wiring shaft 412 and located inside the plug-in port 3. Through the structural design of the anti-disengagement sleeve 42, it is prevented from falling out of the plug-in port 3. The anti-disengagement sleeve 42 fits into the control panel 2. The anti-disengagement sleeve 42 is a hollow rubber sleeve, and both the fixing block 41 and the expansion plug-in plate 43 are made of plastic shells. The hollow structural design can guide the normal insertion and connection of the line.

[0029] A magnetic suction port 46 is provided on the right side of the first insertion port 45. Inside the magnetic suction port 46, there is a spring ring 47 that communicates with the expansion plug-in plate 43. The other end of the spring ring 47 is electrically connected to an independent block 48. The independent block 48 is attached to the control panel 2 and magnetically attached to the expansion plug-in plate 43. The independent block 48 is equipped with a magnetic snap for more stable magnetic positioning. A second insertion port 49 is provided on the front side of the independent block 48.

[0030] The various circuit boards, switches, and power supplies inside the industrial computer body 1 are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail. Additionally, this utility model also includes a power supply, controller, and switches, which are not the main technical points of this patent and will not be described in detail. The wiring diagram of the motor in this utility model is common knowledge in the field, and its working principle is already known technology. The appropriate model is selected based on actual use; therefore, the control method and wiring layout of the motor will not be explained in detail.

[0031] The working principle and process of a compact edge computing industrial computer:

[0032] When using the industrial control computer body 1, the operator can use it in conjunction with the external expansion component 4. During use, the wiring shaft 412 on the rear side of the fixing block 41 is directly inserted into the plug-in port 3 of the control panel 2 for signal connection. The expansion plug-in board 43 on the outer side of the fixing block 41 provides different wiring plug-in / plug-out functions at the first socket 45, facilitating the normal use of the industrial control computer body 1. This structure of the industrial control computer body 1 integrates the surface plug-in port 3 into the surface of the expansion plug-in board 43, forming a more compact structure to reduce the space occupied by the industrial control computer body 1. Various wiring can be directly inserted into the first socket 45. Furthermore, when the external line is far away, the independent block 48 can be removed, the spring coil 47 structure pulled out, and the positioning plate 410 on the outer side of the independent block 48 moved to a plug-in / plug-out position where wiring can be connected. The network cable is then inserted into the second socket 49. After positioning, signal connection is established, preventing situations where wiring is impossible due to short lines.
