Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power sequencer protection technology, specifically a power sequencer with a protective structure. Background Technology

[0002] A power sequencer is a device used to control the sequence and timing of power output. It is widely used in various situations where power needs to be managed in an orderly manner. In some systems, such as professional audio systems and stage lighting systems, different devices have strict requirements on the order of power-on and power-off.

[0003] Existing power sequencers are commonly used in commercial performances to manage the power supply along with the lighting. However, in these events, the location where the power sequencer is used is uncertain, and it needs to be temporarily assembled when in use. During the equipment transfer process, the power sequencer is easily damaged by collisions from the external environment, which can lead to damage and render it unusable. Therefore, a power sequencer with a protective structure is needed to meet people's needs. To this end, we propose a power sequencer with a protective structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a power sequencer with a protective structure that can provide a certain buffer space in both the horizontal and vertical directions, more effectively disperse the impact force, and protect the electronic components and circuits inside the power sequencer from damage, thus effectively solving the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a power sequencer with a protective structure, including a controller, N-type plates on the left and right sides of the controller, and a protection mechanism;

[0006] The protection mechanism includes a third damper, a sliding plate, a guide groove, a dovetail groove, a dovetail slider, and a first damper. The upper and lower ends of the controller are fixedly connected to the third damper. The telescopic ends of three third dampers on the same side and adjacent to each other are fixedly connected to the side of a sliding plate near the center of the controller. Dovetail sliders are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the sliding plate. Guide grooves are formed on the upper and lower inner walls of the N-shaped plate. Dovetail grooves are formed on the front and rear inner walls of the guide grooves. The dovetail sliders are slidably connected to the interior of the dovetail grooves on the same side and adjacent to each other. A first damper is provided on the inner wall of the guide groove away from the center of the controller. The telescopic ends of the first dampers are fixedly connected to the side of the sliding plate located inside the same guide groove away from the center of the controller. This mechanism provides shock absorption and energy reduction in the horizontal, vertical, and longitudinal directions, effectively dispersing and absorbing impact forces, and protecting the electronic components and circuits inside the power sequencer from damage.

[0007] Furthermore, a microcontroller is provided on the front side of the controller. The input terminal of the microcontroller is electrically connected to an external power source to provide electrical connections for various electrical appliances.

[0008] Furthermore, the protection mechanism also includes a slider, a connecting rod, a groove, and a guide rod. The controller has grooves on its left and right sides, and sliders are slidably connected inside the grooves. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to the side of the slider away from the center of the controller. Grooves are formed on the inner wall of the N-shaped plate away from the center of the controller. A guide rod is provided between the upper and lower inner walls of the grooves. The end of the connecting rod away from the center of the controller is rotatably connected to the outside of the adjacent guide rod on the same side, ensuring the stable movement of the N-shaped plate after a collision.

[0009] Furthermore, the protection mechanism also includes a second damper. The front and rear inner walls of the slide are respectively fixedly connected to the second damper. The telescopic ends of the second damper are fixedly connected to the side of the slider inside the same slide away from the center of the controller, providing buffering force.

[0010] Furthermore, a temperature sensor is provided on the rear side of the controller. The sensing end of the temperature sensor extends into the interior of the controller. The temperature sensor is bidirectionally electrically connected to the microcontroller to monitor the internal temperature in real time.

[0011] Furthermore, the controller has evenly distributed heat dissipation holes on its upper surface, and a fan is provided on the rear side of the controller. The input end of the fan is electrically connected to the output end of the microcontroller to achieve internal ventilation and heat dissipation.

[0012] Furthermore, mounting holes are provided at both ends of the front side of the controller for easy installation.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This power sequencer with a protective structure has the following advantages:

[0014] When the controller is impacted from the top and bottom, the slide plate moves to one side of the controller. The third damper provides energy-absorbing resistance to protect the controller. When the controller is impacted from the left and right, the slide plate moves inside the guide groove. The first damper absorbs the initial impact force. The guide rod pushes the connecting rod to move. The connecting rod expands towards the center end. The connecting rod pushes the slider to slide in the groove. The second damper compresses. The second damper absorbs the impact force again after changing its direction. It can provide a certain amount of shock absorption in the horizontal, vertical and longitudinal directions, more effectively disperse and absorb the impact force, realize the protection of the power sequencer, reduce the direct transmission of external force to the inside of the equipment, thereby reducing the risk of damage to internal electronic components due to impact, preventing components from being damaged or degraded due to excessive impact, extending the service life of electronic components, and ensuring the overall performance and stability of the power sequencer.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-6This embodiment provides a technical solution: a power sequencer with a protective structure, including a controller 1. The controller 1 is a commonly used power sequencer in the prior art. The power sequencer consists of a control board, a clock chip, an operation panel, a power socket, a power output, and other peripherals. The control board is the core component of the power sequencer, containing the main circuitry and processor, used to manage the power on / off and time control. The clock chip is used to record and manage time, working closely with the control board to achieve precise time control. The operation panel is located on the top of the power sequencer's casing, allowing users to set the time and mode for scheduled power on / off. The power socket is the input port, typically an AC plug, used to receive power. The power output is the main output port, through which the power on / off of electronic devices such as computers and servers can be controlled. Other peripherals may include remote control modules, night lights, etc., in some advanced power sequencers. Slides are provided on the left and right sides of the controller 1. 3. The controller 1 has N-type plates 5 on its left and right sides, and also includes a protection mechanism 6. The controller 1 has a microcontroller 4 on its front side. The input terminal of the microcontroller 4 is electrically connected to an external power supply. The controller 1 has a temperature sensor 2 on its rear side. The sensing end of the temperature sensor 2 extends into the controller 1. The temperature sensor 2 is bidirectionally electrically connected to the microcontroller 4. The controller 1 has evenly distributed heat dissipation holes 7 on its upper surface. The controller 1 has a fan 8 on its rear side. The input terminal of the fan 8 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the microcontroller 4. The controller 1 has mounting holes 9 on its left and right sides. When the power sequencer is working, the temperature sensor 2 will monitor the temperature inside the controller 1 in real time and transmit the monitoring data to the microcontroller 4. The microcontroller 4 will integrate the monitoring data. When the monitoring data is greater than the specified value, the fan 8 will start running through the control of the microcontroller 14, blowing cold air from the outside into the controller 1. The hot air inside the controller will be discharged through the heat dissipation holes 7, realizing heat exchange inside the controller 1.

[0024] Protection mechanism 6 includes a third damper 601, a sliding plate 602, a guide groove 603, a dovetail groove 604, a dovetail slider 605, and a first damper 606. The upper and lower ends of the controller 1 are fixedly connected to the third damper 601. The telescopic ends of three adjacent third dampers 601 on the same side are fixedly connected to the side of a sliding plate 602 near the center of the controller 1. Dovetail sliders 605 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the sliding plate 602. Guide grooves 603 are respectively opened on the upper and lower inner walls of the N-shaped plate 5. Dovetail grooves 604 are respectively opened on the front and rear inner walls of the guide grooves 603. The dovetail sliders 605 are all connected to the first damper 606 on the same side. The dovetail slide 604 has an internal sliding connection. The inner wall of the guide groove 603 on the side furthest from the center of the controller 1 is provided with a first damper 606. The telescopic ends of the first dampers 606 are fixedly connected to the side of the slide plate 602 located inside the same guide groove 603, furthest from the center of the controller 1. The protection mechanism 6 also includes a slider 607, a connecting rod 608, a groove 609, and a guide rod 610. Slide grooves 3 are respectively opened on the left and right sides of the controller 1. Slide plates 607 are slidably connected inside the slide grooves 3. The side of the slider 607 furthest from the center of the controller 1 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 608. The inner wall of the N-shaped plate 5 furthest from the center of the controller 1 is provided with a groove 609. 09. Guide rods 610 are respectively provided between the upper and lower inner walls of the groove 609. The end of the connecting rod 608 away from the center of the controller 1 is rotatably connected to the outside of the adjacent guide rod 610 on the same side. The protection mechanism 6 also includes a second damper 611. The front and rear inner walls of the slide 3 are respectively fixedly connected to the second damper 611. The telescopic end of the second damper 611 is fixedly connected to the side of the slider 607 inside the same slide 3 away from the center of the controller 1. When the upper or lower side of the controller 1 is impacted, the N-shaped plate 5 moves closer to the controller 1, the slide plate 602 is subjected to force, and the piston in the third damper 601 moves in the cylinder, squeezing the damping oil. The damping oil has high viscosity. This generates significant resistance, offsetting the impact forces received from the upper and lower sides. When the left or right side of the controller 1 is impacted, the N-shaped plate 5 moves closer to the controller 1, and the slide plate 602 slides inside the guide groove 603, allowing the first damper 606 to absorb the initial impact force. The guide rod 610 inside the groove 609 pushes the connecting rod 608 to move closer to the controller 1. Under the action of the squeezing force, the connecting rod 608 expands towards the center end, and then pushes the slider 605 to slide in the groove 3 through the connecting rod 608. The extension end of the second damper 611 contracts, absorbing the impact force again, thus protecting the power sequencer.

[0025] The working principle of the power sequencer with a protective structure provided by this utility model is as follows: When the power sequencer is working, the temperature sensor 2 monitors the internal temperature of the controller 1 in real time and transmits the monitoring data to the microcontroller 4. The microcontroller 4 integrates the monitoring data. When the monitoring data exceeds a specified value, the fan 8 starts to run through the control of the microcontroller 14, blowing cold air from the outside into the controller 1. The hot air inside is discharged through the heat dissipation hole 7, realizing heat exchange inside the controller 1. When the upper or lower side of the controller 1 is impacted, the N-shaped plate 5 moves closer to the controller 1, the slide plate 602 is subjected to force, and the piston in the third damper 601 moves in the cylinder, squeezing the damping oil. The damping oil has high viscosity and will... This generates significant resistance, offsetting the impact forces received from the upper and lower sides (during this process, the guide rod 610 and the connecting rod 608 slide relative to each other). When the left or right side of the controller 1 is impacted, the N-shaped plate 5 moves closer to the controller 1, and the slide plate 602 slides inside the guide groove 603, allowing the first damper 606 to absorb the initial impact force. The guide rod 610 inside the groove 609 pushes the connecting rod 608 to move closer to the controller 1. Under the action of the squeezing force, the connecting rod 608 expands towards the center, and then pushes the slider 605 to slide in the groove 3 through the connecting rod 608. The extension end of the second damper 611 contracts, absorbing the impact force again, thereby protecting the power sequencer.

[0026] It is worth noting that the microcontroller 4 disclosed in the above embodiments can be a PIC16F84A, the fan 8 can be a CX-75A, and the temperature sensor 2 can be a DS18B20. The microcontroller 4 controls the operation of the fan 8 and the temperature sensor 2 using methods commonly used in the prior art.
