Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of communication technology, concretely relates to a data acquisition stick. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, data acquisition technology has shown explosive growth, and various intelligent devices have emerged like mushrooms after a spring rain. Data acquisition devices have thus been widely used in various fields. From production line monitoring in industrial manufacturing to real-time tracking of patient signs in the medical and health field, to accurate capture of atmospheric and water quality data in environmental monitoring, data acquisition devices are ubiquitous. In the field of energy storage detection, it is necessary to accurately collect battery charging and discharging data to ensure the stable operation of the energy storage system. In the industrial monitoring scene, it is necessary to collect equipment operating parameters at a high frequency to ensure the efficiency and safety of the production process. In medical and health monitoring, continuous and accurate collection of human physiological data is an important basis for disease prevention and diagnosis. In environmental monitoring, timely acquisition of environmental change data can provide strong support for ecological protection.

[0003] In the face of such diverse and complex application scenarios, data acquisition devices must have high reliability, convenience, and accurate data acquisition capabilities. However, traditional data acquisition devices generally use standard housings, with complicated installation procedures and relatively simple functions, making it difficult to meet today's diverse and demanding application requirements. In particular, in outdoor or harsh environments, the device faces severe challenges. Poor sealing can lead to water vapor intrusion, affecting the normal operation of electronic components. Poor shock resistance can damage internal precision components during transportation or in a vibrating environment. Insufficient durability cannot provide stable operation for a long time, and frequent replacement of equipment not only incurs high costs but also causes interruptions in data acquisition.

[0004] Therefore, designing a data acquisition device with simple structure and stable performance has become a difficult problem to be solved. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0005] The utility model aims at providing a kind of data acquisition stick, and the upper shell one end is connected interface, the other end is sealed with lower shell and forms connection structure, solve the protection and data transmission stability problem, avoid dust, water vapor etc. Intrusion internal component, guarantee data reliable transmission, while upper shell and lower shell form the inner cavity containing circuit board, solve the circuit board physical protection and electromagnetic interference problem, prevent it from being collided and extruded and shield external interference, and lower shell is provided with through hole so that button assembly and circuit board key contact, solve the operation convenience and internal protection problem, facilitate user operation and avoid foreign matter from outside to damage circuit board.

[0006] The utility model realizes by the following technical scheme:

[0007] A kind of data acquisition stick, comprising:

[0008] The upper shell is connected to an interface at one end and is sealingly connected to the end face of the lower shell at the other end;

[0009] The lower shell forms an inner cavity with the upper shell to accommodate a circuit board;

[0010] The button assembly is provided with a through hole on the lower shell, which communicates with the inner cavity, and the button assembly contacts the circuit board key through the through hole, and the button assembly transmits the user's pressing instruction to the circuit board.

[0011] In this scheme, one end of the upper shell is connected to an interface, which builds a bridge for data interaction between the data acquisition rod and external equipment, ensuring effective transmission of data. The other end of the upper shell is sealingly connected to the lower shell, which not only enhances the overall stability of the equipment, but also plays a protective role in dust and water, prolonging the service life of internal electronic components. Secondly, the lower shell and the upper shell together build an inner cavity to accommodate a circuit board, providing a safe and stable working environment for the circuit board, ensuring normal operation of the circuit board, and thus realizing the data acquisition and processing function of the data acquisition rod. Finally, the setting of the button assembly builds an interactive channel between the user and the circuit board, allowing the user to transmit instructions to the circuit board by pressing the button assembly, enabling flexible control of the data acquisition rod and meeting the use requirements in different scenarios.

[0012] As an optimized scheme of the data acquisition rod, the button assembly comprises a decorative cover, a light guide column and a silica gel bottom support.

[0013] The silica gel bottom support has a cavity in the middle to accommodate the light guide column, and the outer side wall of the silica gel bottom support is fixed with the through hole by adhesive, and the decorative cover and the top of the light guide column are buckled, and the diameter of the decorative cover is smaller than the diameter of the light guide column.

[0014] In this scheme, the cavity in the middle of the silica gel bottom support can accommodate the light guide column, providing stable support and protection for the light guide column. At the same time, its outer side wall is fixed with the through hole by adhesive, ensuring the stability of the button assembly in the position of the through hole, avoiding loosening or displacement affecting use. The decorative cover and the light guide column are buckled at the top, and the diameter of the decorative cover is smaller than that of the light guide column. This design not only improves the aesthetics of the button assembly, but also facilitates accurate pressing operation by the user, and prevents misoperation caused by accidental touch, improving user experience.

[0015] As an optimized scheme of the data acquisition rod, the diameter of the bottom of the silica gel bottom support is greater than the diameter of the circuit board key.

[0016] In this design, the larger diameter silicone base increases the contact area with the circuit board buttons. When the user presses the button assembly, it can more accurately trigger the circuit board buttons, reducing button triggering failures due to misalignment. In terms of button protection, it also disperses the pressure generated during pressing, preventing excessive pressure concentration on a single point on the button, thereby reducing the risk of button damage and extending the button's lifespan. Furthermore, the silicone base also provides some protection for the circuit board buttons, preventing dust, moisture, and other impurities from entering through the through-holes and adhering to the buttons, ensuring button sensitivity and reliability.

[0017] As an optimized solution for the data acquisition stick, the circuit board is equipped with LED beads, which can display different working states by adjusting the frequency, so that the light guide column can transmit light information to the user.

[0018] In this solution, by setting adjustable frequency LED beads on the circuit board and cooperating with light guide columns, intuitive visualization and functional integration of the device's working status are achieved. By adjusting the light emission frequency or color (such as RGB LED beads), the LED beads can convert information such as data connection status, data transmission progress, and device faults into light signals, which are then concentrated and transmitted to the outside through the light guide columns. Users can quickly judge the device's operating status by changes in light without the need for additional equipment. This not only saves the space occupied by traditional multiple monochrome LEDs and avoids complex wiring, but also achieves richer status indication functions through the multi-color changes of a single LED bead. At the same time, the structural design of the light guide columns can effectively focus light and prevent light mixing, ensuring clear and stable light signals.

[0019] As an optimized solution for the data acquisition rod, the upper housing and the interface are connected by threads.

[0020] In this design, the threaded connection, through the mechanical engagement of the helical structure, ensures a tight and secure connection between the interface and the upper housing, effectively preventing loosening or detachment of the interface due to external pulling or vibration, thus guaranteeing continuous and stable data transmission. Simultaneously, the threaded connection is detachable, facilitating quick separation of the interface from the housing during equipment maintenance or upgrades, improving both ease of maintenance and reducing maintenance costs.

[0021] As an optimization of the data acquisition rod, the data acquisition rod also includes a buzzer, which is connected to the circuit board.

[0022] In this solution, by integrating the buzzer onto the circuit board and placing it inside the device, the buzzer can emit a sound of no less than 80 decibels when the device experiences abnormal conditions such as data transmission interruption, insufficient power, or hardware failure, ensuring that users can still perceive the device status in a timely manner in complex environments (such as strong light or noisy environments).

[0023] As an optimized solution for the data acquisition rod, an inner stop is provided on the end of the upper housing away from the interface, and an outer stop matching the inner stop is provided on the end face of the lower housing. The inner stop and the outer stop are connected by sealant.

[0024] In this design, the inner and outer stops form a dual positioning structure, ensuring rapid alignment of the upper and lower housings during assembly and preventing misalignment. This guarantees precise installation and functional coordination of internal components such as circuit boards and button assemblies. Sealant filling the gaps between the stops forms a reliable sealing barrier, effectively preventing moisture, dust, and other external contaminants from intruding into the equipment, significantly improving its protection level in humid and dusty outdoor environments. Simultaneously, the rigid contact of the stop structure combined with the elastic compensation of the sealant enhances the impact resistance of the housing connection points, reducing the risk of loosening or separation due to vibration or external forces, improving the overall structural stability of the equipment, and solving the problems of traditional data acquisition devices being susceptible to corrosion and having unreliable connections in harsh environments.

[0025] As an optimized solution for the data acquisition rod, a positioning slide is provided on the wall of the outer stop, and a positioning groove matching the positioning slide is provided on the wall of the inner stop.

[0026] In this design, the cooperation between the positioning slide and the slide groove forms a mechanical limiting structure, providing a sliding guide path when the upper and lower housings are connected, ensuring that the inner and outer stops are quickly aligned, and avoiding sealing failure or damage to internal components caused by assembly misalignment. At the same time, the tight fit between the slide and the slide groove enhances the torsional resistance of the housing connection, effectively dissipates external vibrations or stress, and prevents the housing from loosening due to long-term use, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the equipment under complex working conditions.

[0027] As an optimized solution for the data acquisition rod, the inner wall of the lower housing is provided with a pair of lower mounting seats, and the lower mounting seats are provided with lower mounting slots that match the circuit board.

[0028] In this design, pairs of lower mounting bases are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the inner cavity. The lower mounting slots they have are designed to fit the shape of the circuit board edge, forming a mechanical limiting structure. This ensures that the circuit board can be quickly aligned and embedded in the designated position during assembly, avoiding poor component contact or structural stress concentration caused by installation deviations. At the same time, the design of the mounting slots provides multi-point support for the circuit board, effectively dispersing the impact of external vibrations or impacts on the circuit board and preventing displacement or deformation during transportation or use.

[0029] As an optimized solution for the data acquisition rod, the inner wall of the upper housing is provided with a pair of upper mounting seats, and the upper mounting seats are provided with upper mounting slots that match the circuit board.

[0030] In this design, pairs of upper mounting bases are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the inner cavity of the upper housing. The upper mounting slots on the upper mounting bases and the lower mounting slots on the lower housing form an upper and lower clamping structure. By engaging with the edge of the circuit board, the displacement of the circuit board is restricted in the vertical direction, while providing anti-torsional support in the horizontal direction, which further effectively offsets the risk of circuit board deformation caused by vibration or external force during equipment use.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0032] This utility model, through its integrated and modular structural design, effectively solves the problems of complex installation, limited functionality, and insufficient protection in traditional data acquisition devices. Compared with existing technologies, the inner and outer stop joints combined with sealant in the housing connection structure of this utility model significantly improve the waterproof and dustproof performance of the equipment, adapting it to harsh outdoor environments. The mounting base and mounting groove of the upper and lower housings form a bidirectional limiting mechanism, ensuring stable assembly of the circuit board and dispersing vibration stress, thus enhancing shock resistance. The silicone base and light guide column design of the button assembly achieves high-sensitivity press feedback and stable light signal transmission, improving the user interaction experience. Furthermore, the integrated design of the LED and buzzer provides multi-dimensional visual warnings of the device status through multi-color indication of a single LED and a high-decibel alarm sound. The overall structure is compact and highly integrated, improving the durability and stability of the equipment while reducing manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulty, meeting the high-precision data acquisition needs of various scenarios such as industrial monitoring and medical health.

Detailed Implementation

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] This embodiment 1 provides a data acquisition stick, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, it includes an upper housing 3, a lower housing 1, and a button assembly 2;

[0045] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, one end of the upper housing 3 is connected to the interface 4 via a thread. This threaded connection design allows for the use of sealant or sealing rings to further enhance the waterproof and dustproof performance at the interface, ensuring the equipment maintains good protection in outdoor or humid environments and extending its service life. The other end of the upper housing 3 forms a sealed connection with the end face of the lower housing 1. For details, please refer to... Figures 4-6 As shown, an inner stop 13 is provided at the end of the upper housing 3 away from the interface 4. The inner stop 13 is equivalent to a waterproof groove to prevent external water from entering the housing. The end face of the lower housing 1 is connected to an outer stop 14 that matches the inner stop 13. The inner stop 13 and the outer stop 14 are fitted together to form a double positioning structure, ensuring that the upper housing and the lower housing are quickly aligned during assembly and avoiding misalignment. In addition, sealant is applied between the inner stop 13 and the outer stop 14 to form a reliable sealing barrier, which can further effectively prevent water vapor, dust and other external pollutants from entering the equipment.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 3-6 As shown, an inner cavity for accommodating the circuit board 5 is also formed between the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 3. A pair of lower mounting seats 10 are connected to the inner cavity wall of the lower housing 1. The pair of lower mounting seats 10 are arranged opposite to each other. A lower mounting groove 101 matching the edge shape of the circuit board 5 is opened on the opposite surface of the lower mounting seats 10, thereby forming a lower mechanical limiting structure in the lower housing 1 to ensure that the circuit board 5 can be quickly aligned and embedded in the designated position during assembly.

[0047] Meanwhile, a pair of upper mounting seats 9 are connected to the inner wall of the upper housing 3. The pair of upper mounting seats 9 are arranged opposite each other and correspond to the lower mounting seat 10. An upper mounting groove 91 matching the edge shape of the circuit board 5 is opened on the opposite surface of the upper mounting seat 9, thereby forming an upper mechanical limiting structure in the upper housing 3. The upper mounting groove 91 and the lower mounting groove 101 form an upper and lower clamping structure. By engaging with the edge of the circuit board 5, the displacement of the circuit board is restricted in the vertical direction, effectively offsetting the risk of circuit board deformation caused by vibration or external force during equipment use.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 3 Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, a through hole is also provided on the lower housing 1, which communicates with the inner cavity of the lower housing 1. The button assembly 2 contacts the circuit board button 6 through the through hole. The button assembly 2 transmits the user's pressing command to the circuit board 5. Specifically, the button assembly 2 includes a decorative cover 21, a light guide post 22, and a silicone base 23. A cavity for accommodating the light guide post 22 is provided in the middle of the silicone base 23. The outer wall of the silicone base 23 is fixed to the through hole with adhesive backing. The outer wall of the light guide post 22 is fixed to the cavity of the silicone base 23 with adhesive backing. The tops of the decorative cover 21 and the light guide post 22 are fastened together, and the diameter of the decorative cover 21 is smaller than the diameter of the light guide post 22, which is beneficial for the light emission of the light guide post 22. The diameter of the bottom of the silicone base 23 is larger than the diameter of the circuit board button 6, which increases the contact area with the circuit board button 6. When the user presses the button assembly 2, the circuit board button 6 can be triggered more accurately, reducing the failure of button triggering due to the deviation of the pressing position.

[0049] Meanwhile, in order to achieve intuitive visualization of the device's working status and functional integration, the circuit board 5 is electrically connected to LED beads 7. By adjusting the light emission frequency or color (such as RGB LED beads), the LED beads 7 can convert information such as data connection status, data transmission progress, and device faults into light signals, which are then concentrated and transmitted to the outside through the light guide column 22. Users can quickly judge the device's operating status by changes in light without the need for additional equipment.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] This embodiment 2 provides a data acquisition stick based on embodiment 1, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, it also includes a buzzer 8, which is connected to the circuit board 5. When the device experiences abnormal conditions such as data transmission interruption, insufficient power or hardware failure, the buzzer 8 can emit a sound of no less than 80 decibels to ensure that the user can still perceive the device status in a timely manner in complex environments (such as strong light or noisy environments).

[0052] Meanwhile, in order to avoid misalignment during assembly of the upper housing 3 and the lower housing 1, a positioning slide 11 is connected to the wall of the outer stop 14, and a positioning groove 12 matching the positioning slide 11 is connected to the wall of the inner stop 13. The cooperation between the positioning slide 11 and the positioning groove 12 forms a mechanical limiting structure, which provides a sliding guide path when the upper housing 3 and the lower housing 1 are docked, ensuring that the inner stop 13 and the outer stop 14 are quickly aligned.

[0053] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.
