[0035] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a cabinet machine, including a panel 200. The panel 200 is provided with a first limiting part 210 and a second limiting part 220. The two first limiting parts 210 are arranged opposite each other and are suitable for limiting the sensor 300 in its width and height directions. The two second limiting parts 220 are located between the two first limiting parts 210 and are suitable for limiting the sensor 300 in its length and height directions.

[0036] The cabinet unit of this utility model embodiment is mainly composed of a panel 200. The main body of the cabinet unit is assembled from multiple panels 200. The sensor 300 is disposed on the panel 200. The first limiting part 210 and the second limiting part 220 constitute the mounting parts of the sensor 300. The basic structure of the sensor 300 is a rectangular plate design. During installation, the length and width of the sensor 300 form a plane facing the plane of the panel 200, and the height direction of the sensor 300 is the thickness direction of the panel 200.

[0037] The panel 200 is provided with two first limiting portions 210 and two second limiting portions 220. The two first limiting portions 210 are disposed opposite each other on both sides of the sensor 300 in the width direction, and the two second limiting portions 220 are disposed on both sides of the sensor 300 in the length direction. The first limiting portions 210 can limit the sensor 300 on both sides in the width direction and on one side in the height direction. Since the two second limiting portions 220 are located between the two first limiting portions 210, the sensor 300 can contact the second limiting portions 220 after entering between the two first limiting portions 210. The second limiting portions 220 can limit the sensor 300 on both sides in the length direction and on the other side in the height direction. Thus, through the cooperation of the first limiting part 210 and the second limiting part 220, the sensor 300 can be quickly installed, and the installation structure is reliable. After installation, the sensor 300 can be prevented from shaking or falling out in all directions.

[0038] According to one embodiment of the present invention, at least one first limiting portion 210 includes a first limiting rib 211 and a protrusion 212. The first limiting rib 211 extends along the length direction of the sensor 300; the protrusion 212 is disposed on the side of the first limiting rib 211 facing the second limiting portion 220.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first limiting part 210 mainly consists of a first limiting rib 211 and a protrusion 212. The first limiting rib 211 is vertically disposed on the panel 200, and the extending direction of the first limiting rib 211 is the length direction of the sensor 300, that is, the length of the first limiting rib 211 is close to the length of the sensor 300. The opposite sides of the two first limiting ribs 211 abut against the two sides of the sensor 300 in the width direction, providing a width-direction limit for the sensor 300. The protrusion 212 is disposed on the opposite sides of the two first limiting ribs 211. Furthermore, the protrusion 212 extends along the width direction of the sensor 300. The first limiting rib 211 is an elastic structure with a certain deformation capacity. When the sensor 300 is pushed between the two first limiting ribs 211 along the thickness direction of the panel 200, the first limiting rib 211 can bend to a certain extent in the direction away from the sensor 300, so that the protrusion 212 avoids the movement path of the sensor 300, and then restores its deformation, so that the protrusion 212 abuts against the side of the sensor 300 facing away from the panel 200 in the height direction, providing a limit in the width direction for the sensor 300.

[0040] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the side of the protrusion 212 facing away from the panel 200 is a slope 213, and the slope 213 gradually slopes towards the panel 200 along the direction from the first limiting rib 211 to the second limiting part 220.

[0041] In this embodiment, the side of the protrusion 212 facing away from the panel 200 in the thickness direction of the panel 200 is a slope 213. The slope 213 gradually slopes downward in the direction close to the panel 200. When the sensor 300 enters between the two first limiting ribs 211, it can contact the slope 213 and slide along the slope 213, thereby providing guidance for the movement of the sensor 300 and facilitating the sensor 300 to apply a pushing force to the first limiting ribs 211 during the movement to deform them.

[0042] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the side of the protrusion 212 facing the panel 200 is flat.

[0043] In this embodiment, the side of the protrusion 212 facing the panel 200 in the thickness direction of the panel 200 is a plane. After the first limiting rib 211 recovers its deformation, the plane contacts the surface of the sensor 300. The plane can ensure the contact area with the surface of the sensor 300 and the stability of the contact, thereby providing a height limit for the sensor 300.

[0044] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of protrusions 212 are evenly distributed along the length direction of the sensor 300 on the first limiting rib plate 211.

[0045] In this embodiment, a plurality of protrusions 212 are provided on the first limiting rib plate 211 to further increase the contact area with the sensor 300, and at the same time provide a uniform limiting force in the length direction of the sensor 300, so as to avoid the deformation of the first limiting rib plate 211 caused by a single protrusion 212, and to avoid the contact force on the sensor 300 being too concentrated, which would cause damage to the sensor 300.

[0046] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second limiting part 220 includes a second limiting rib 221, and the second limiting rib 221 has a notch 222 between the side facing away from the panel 200 and the side facing the sensor 300.

[0047] In this embodiment, the second limiting part 220 mainly consists of a second limiting rib 221. The second limiting rib 221 is vertically disposed on the panel 200, and the extending direction of the first limiting rib 211 is the length direction of the sensor 300. The two second limiting ribs 221 abut against the two sides of the sensor 300 in the length direction, providing a length-direction limit for the sensor 300. A notch 222 is formed on the side of the second limiting rib 221 facing the sensor 300. The first side of the notch 222 extends from the side of the second limiting rib 221 away from the panel 200 towards the panel 200. Extending in the degree direction, the second side extends from the side of the second limiting rib 221 toward the sensor 300 in the direction away from the sensor 300. When the sensor 300 is pushed between the two first limiting ribs 211 along the thickness direction of the panel 200, the side of the sensor 300 toward the panel 200 in the height direction will contact the second side of the notch 222, providing a height direction limit away from the panel 200 for the sensor 300. The two sides of the sensor 300 in the length direction will contact the first side of the notch 222, providing a length direction limit for the sensor 300.

[0048] According to one embodiment of the present invention, at least two sets of second limiting parts 220 are provided between the two first limiting parts 210, and each set of second limiting parts 220 includes two second limiting parts 220 arranged opposite to each other along the length direction of the sensor 300.

[0049] In this embodiment, at least two sets of second limiting portions 220 are provided on the panel 200. Each set of second limiting portions 220 consists of two opposing second limiting portions 220. All sets of second limiting portions 220 are distributed sequentially along the width direction of the sensor 300. The arrangement of multiple sets of second limiting portions 220 can further increase the contact area with the sensor 300, while providing uniform limiting force and improving limiting stability in the width direction of the sensor 300. This avoids the contact force of the second limiting ribs 221 of a single set of second limiting portions 220 on the sensor 300 being too concentrated, which could damage the sensor 300.

[0050] In other embodiments, the two opposing second limiting portions 220 may not be on the same straight line, but may be offset by a certain distance in the width direction of the sensor 300, so as to maintain the limiting and force balance of the sensor 300.

[0051] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the cabinet also includes a cover 100, which is connected to the panel 200 and is fastened to the outside of the first limiting part 210.

[0052] In this embodiment, the cabinet unit consists of a panel 200 and a cover 100. The cover 100 has a box-shaped structure with an opening. When the cover 100 is fastened to the surface of the panel 200, the opening contacts the panel 200 and surrounds the outside of the first limiting part 210 and the second limiting part 220. The cover 100 provides installation space for the sensor 300 and provides support and protection for the first limiting part 210, the second limiting part 220 and the sensor 300.

[0053] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the box cover 100 is provided with a third limiting part 110, and two first limiting parts 210 are located between the two third limiting parts 110, with the third limiting part 110 abutting against the first limiting part 210.

[0054] In this embodiment, two third limiting parts 110 are provided on the surfaces of the cover 100 and the panel 200, and the two third limiting parts 110 are also arranged opposite to each other. When the cover 100 is fastened to the panel 200, the two first limiting parts 210 are located between the two third limiting parts 110, that is, the third limiting parts 110 and the first limiting parts 210 correspond one-to-one. The end face of the third limiting part 110 abuts against the side of the first limiting rib 211 of the first limiting part 210 facing away from the sensor 300. This is equivalent to the two third limiting parts 110 pressing and limiting the two first limiting ribs 211 in the width direction of the sensor 300, preventing the first limiting ribs 211 from deforming again and affecting the firmness of the sensor 300 installation.

[0055] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the panel 200 is provided with a mounting hole 230, and a first limiting part 210 and a second limiting part 220 are arranged around the mounting hole 230. The mounting hole 230 is adapted to allow the sensor 300 to extend out.

[0056] In this embodiment, a mounting hole 230 extending through the thickness direction is provided on the panel 200. The first limiting part 210 and the second limiting part 220 are both located on the inner side of the panel 200 and are arranged around the mounting hole 230. After the sensor 300 is pressed between the first limiting part 210 and the second limiting part 220, a part of the sensor 300 can be popped out through the mounting hole 230 to the outer side of the panel 200. Then, the cover 100 is fastened and installed on the inner side of the panel 200. Thus, the installation and fixation of the sensor 300 is completed through the mounting hole 230, the first limiting part 210, the second limiting part 220 and the third limiting part 110, further improving the stability and reliability of the sensor 300 installed on the cabinet.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
