Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, and in particular to a software control box that is easy to install and replace. Background Technology
[0002] In the medical field, especially in the design of integrated cleaning and disinfection centers, medical equipment is often installed in a row along the wall and rigidly fixed with expansion bolts to maximize space utilization. While this installation method maximizes the use of vertical space, it also results in the equipment forming an "immovable rigid structure." Once installed, the equipment cannot be adjusted in position or angle by conventional means. More importantly, its maintenance mode is severely restricted: maintenance personnel can only perform repairs through the front access ports, while the back of the equipment is completely inaccessible due to walls or adjacent equipment. This design flaw directly leads to the reliance on limited front-end interfaces for operations such as mechanical fault diagnosis and pipeline replacement, significantly extending maintenance time. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to propose a software control box that is easy to install and replace, so as to solve the technical problems of existing software control boxes, such as the device fixing method, maintenance limitations, and cumbersome replacement.
[0004] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A software control box that is easy to install and replace is detachably mounted in a mounting slot in a wall, the mounting slot having an opening and including a control panel and a pair of clamping components mounted on its back.
[0006] The clamping assembly includes a fixing component, a rotating component, and a clamping component;
[0007] One end of the fixing member is fixedly installed on the back of the control panel, and the other end of the fixing member is rotatably connected to one end of the clamping member through the rotating member. The rotating member has the tendency to drive the other end of the clamping member to rotate and move closer to the fixing member.
[0008] The control panel is exposed in the mounting slot, the pair of clamping components are built into the mounting slot, and the other end of the clamping component can abut against the inner wall of the slot opening to form a locking state.
[0009] Preferably, the rotating component includes a torsion spring and a hinge shaft;
[0010] The two ends of the hinge shaft are respectively inserted and installed on the fixing member and the clamping member;
[0011] The spring coil of the torsion spring is fitted onto the hinge shaft, one torsion arm of the torsion spring abuts against the fixing member, and the other torsion arm of the torsion spring abuts against the clamping member.
[0012] Preferably, the fixing member includes two fixing rods and a fixing plate;
[0013] The fixing plate is installed between the two fixing rods, and the fixing plate has a first clearance opening. The two fixing rods each have a first mounting opening at one end of the first clearance opening. The two first mounting openings are used to install the rotating component.
[0014] Preferably, the clamping member includes two clamping rods and a clamping plate;
[0015] The clamping plate is installed between the two clamping rods, and the clamping plate has a second clearance opening. The two clamping rods each have a second mounting opening at one end of the second clearance opening. The two second mounting openings are used to pass through and install the rotating component.
[0016] Preferably, a limiting plate is formed by a protrusion on the back of the control panel. The limiting plate is in the shape of a ring frame, and the enclosing dimension of the limiting plate is smaller than the slot. A limiting step is formed between the limiting plate and the edge of the control panel.
[0017] Preferably, it also includes a circuit board, which is installed within the enclosure of the limiting plate.
[0018] Preferably, a pair of clamping components are respectively mounted on a set of opposite sides of the limiting plate.
[0019] One of the above technical solutions has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. Tool-free operation: Installation only requires manually turning the clamping parts, and disassembly only requires overcoming the elastic tendency of the rotating parts. This avoids the reliance on tools required for traditional screw installation and disassembly, reduces the operation threshold for medical staff, and also reduces equipment downtime. It is especially suitable for high-frequency maintenance scenarios.
[0021] 2. Dual-sided maintainability: Through tool-free operation design, maintenance personnel can directly operate the interface on the back of the equipment, breaking the limitation of traditional rigid fixing that is "maintainable only on the front", and significantly shortening the troubleshooting time.
[0022] 3. Enhanced efficiency and reliability: The elastic force of the rotating parts not only provides locking force but also absorbs vibration and shock during equipment operation. For example, the high-frequency vibration generated by the cleaning and disinfection center equipment may cause slight displacement between the clamping parts and the tank wall, but the elastic force will adjust the angle of the clamping parts in time to maintain a continuous pressing state, avoiding the risk of loosening or falling off that may occur with traditional threaded connections.

Detailed Implementation
[0028] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0030] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0032] A software control box that is easy to install and replace is detachably installed in a mounting slot 2 in a wall 1. The mounting slot 2 has a slot 20 and includes a control panel 3 and a pair of clamping components 4 mounted on its back.
[0033] The clamping assembly 4 includes a fixing member 5, a rotating member 6, and a clamping member 7;
[0034] One end of the fixing member 5 is fixedly installed on the back of the control panel 3, and the other end of the fixing member 5 is rotatably connected to one end of the clamping member 7 through the rotating member 6. The rotating member 6 has the tendency to drive the other end of the clamping member 7 to rotate and move closer to the fixing member 5.
[0035] The control panel 3 is exposed in the mounting slot 2, the pair of clamping components 4 are built into the mounting slot 2, and the other end of the clamping member 7 can abut against the inner wall of the slot 20 to form a locking state.
[0036] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this software control box achieves rapid assembly and disassembly through the combined action of elastic clamping and gravity self-locking. Its core structure consists of a control panel 3 and a pair of symmetrical clamping components 4 on the back: the clamping components 4 include a fixing member 5, a rotating member 6, and a clamping member 7. One end of the fixing member 5 is fixed to the back of the control panel 3, and the other end is connected to the clamping member 7 through the rotating member 6. The elastic force of the rotating member 6 drives the clamping member 7 to retract towards the fixing member 5.
[0037] Before installation, an installation groove 2 with a notch 20 is made in the pre-installed wall 1, and the upper half of the notch 20 can be larger than the lower half, such as... Figure 1-2As shown. During installation, simultaneously use both hands to pry open the clamping piece 7 to separate it from the fixing piece 5, exposing the open state. Then, align the back of the control panel 3 with the upper half of the groove 20 in the wall 1 and push it in, slowly moving it down to the lower half of the groove 20. Gradually release both hands, and the elastic force of the rotating piece 6 will cause the end of the clamping piece 7 to press against the inner wall of the groove 20, forming a mechanical lock. Then, press the control panel 3 firmly, using its own weight to move it down to the bottom edge of the groove 20, achieving further contact and embedding. At the same time, the rotating piece 6 compresses the opening and closing distance between the clamping piece 7 and the fixing piece 5, enhancing the locking stability, and finally achieving tool-free embedded installation of the control panel 3 flush with the wall surface.
[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, because the size of the control panel 3 is larger than the slot 20, the control panel 3 is exposed outside the mounting slot 2 after installation, forming a protruding surface structure. Therefore, during maintenance, it is only necessary to hold the edge of the control panel 3 and pull it vertically outward to overcome the elastic tendency of the rotating part 6 to release the locking state of the clamping part 7, and disassembly can be completed without tools.
[0039] In summary, the beneficial effects of this software control box include:
[0040] 1. Tool-free operation: Installation only requires manually turning the clamp 7, and disassembly only requires overcoming the elastic tendency of the rotating part 6. This avoids the reliance on tools required for traditional screw installation and disassembly, reduces the operation threshold for medical staff, and also reduces equipment downtime. It is especially suitable for high-frequency maintenance scenarios.
[0041] 2. Dual-sided maintainability: Through tool-free operation design, maintenance personnel can directly operate the interface on the back of the equipment, breaking the limitation of traditional rigid fixing that is "maintainable only on the front", and significantly shortening the troubleshooting time.
[0042] 3. Enhanced efficiency and reliability: The elastic force of the rotating part 6 not only provides locking force but also absorbs vibration and shock during equipment operation. For example, the high-frequency vibration generated by the cleaning and disinfection center equipment may cause slight displacement between the clamping part 7 and the tank wall, but the elastic force will adjust the angle of the clamping part 7 in time to maintain a continuous pressing state, avoiding the risk of loosening or falling off that may occur with traditional threaded connections.
[0043] To further explain, the rotating component 6 includes a torsion spring 61 and a hinge shaft 62;
[0044] The two ends of the hinge shaft 62 are respectively installed through the fixing member 5 and the clamping member 7;
[0045] The spring coil of the torsion spring 61 is fitted onto the hinge shaft 62, one torsion arm of the torsion spring 61 abuts against the fixing member 5, and the other torsion arm of the torsion spring 61 abuts against the clamping member 7.
[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the rotating component 6 consists of a torsion spring 61 and a hinge shaft 62. The two ends of the hinge shaft 62 are respectively threaded through the fixing component 5 and the clamping component 7. The torsion spring 61 is sleeved on the hinge shaft 62, with its two torsion arms abutting against the fixing component 5 and the clamping component 7 respectively. During installation, the clamping component 7 is expanded outwards by pushing it with both hands, compressing the torsion spring 61 and storing force. After releasing the hands, the elastic restoring force of the torsion spring 61 drives the clamping component 7 to rotate around the hinge shaft 62, causing its end to press against the inner wall of the slot 20. This design uses the hinge shaft 62 to provide a rotational fulcrum and the torsion spring 61 to provide dynamic clamping force, forming a self-locking structure.
[0047] On the one hand, using a torsion spring 61 as a reset component can effectively simplify the structure of the rotating component 6 and facilitate its assembly. On the other hand, during maintenance, it is only necessary to pull the clamping component 7 outward to overcome the force of the torsion spring 61 to unlock it. The operating force is less than 2N, which is ergonomic and can be easily operated by female medical staff in medical settings.
[0048] To further explain, the fixing member 5 includes two fixing rods 51 and a fixing plate 52;
[0049] The fixing plate 52 is installed between the two fixing rods 51, and the fixing plate 52 has a first clearance opening 53. The two fixing rods 51 each have a first mounting opening at one end of the first clearance opening 53. The two first mounting openings are used to pass through and install the rotating part 6.
[0050] To further explain, the clamping member 7 includes two clamping rods 71 and a clamping plate 72;
[0051] The clamping plate 72 is installed between the two clamping rods 71, and the clamping plate 72 has a second clearance opening 73. The two clamping rods 71 each have a second mounting opening at one end of the second clearance opening 73. The two second mounting openings are used to install the rotating component 6.
[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, traditional welded structures require overall installation and disassembly, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, this design can reduce the overall weight by utilizing the first clearance opening 53 and the second clearance opening 73. At the same time, the alignment design of the first and second mounting openings can enable blind installation of the rotating part 6 without visual calibration. Furthermore, it facilitates the later replacement of the torsion spring 61 or the hinge shaft 62, thus improving installation efficiency.
[0053] To further explain, a limiting plate 8 is formed by a protrusion on the back of the control panel 3. The limiting plate 8 is in the shape of a ring frame. The enclosing size of the limiting plate 8 is smaller than the slot 20, and a limiting step 9 is formed between the limiting plate 8 and the edge of the control panel 3.
[0054] like Figure 1-2As shown, since the enclosure size of the ring-shaped limiting plate 8 is smaller than that of the slot 20, it is convenient for the limiting plate 8 to be inserted into the slot 20 during installation. At the same time, the step surface of the limiting step 9 is in contact with the wall, which can limit the embedding depth of the control panel 3 and prevent excessive pressing from causing overload of the clamping component 4.
[0055] Further explanation includes a circuit board 10, which is installed within the enclosure of the limiting plate 8.
[0056] like Figure 1-2 As shown, since the step surface of the limiting step 9 will be in contact with the wall during the installation process, the circuit board 10 is installed inside the limiting plate 8 to avoid pressure damage.
[0057] To further explain, a pair of clamping components 4 are respectively installed on a set of opposite sides of the limiting plate 8.
[0058] like Figure 1-4 As shown, on the one hand, the symmetrical operation of a pair of clamping components 4 by both hands can eliminate the risk of tilting of the control panel 3 caused by off-center loading. On the other hand, the symmetrical layout of the pair of clamping components 4 makes the clamping force evenly distributed, which can reduce the stress concentration factor of the slot 20 and avoid local deformation.
[0059] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort, and these equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
