Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine vision technology, and in particular to a mounting bracket and industrial control computer for fixing modular hardware. Background Technology

[0002] Common industrial PCs are equipped with removable modular hardware, such as PCIe cards (image acquisition cards, motion control cards, or graphics cards with PCIe interfaces) or encrypted USB flash drives. To prevent the modular hardware from becoming loose within the industrial PC, it is usually secured with anti-loosening measures.

[0003] In related technologies, modular hardware is typically secured using a combination of structural components and silicone strips to prevent loosening. The structural component has a slot, and the silicone strip has a groove-shaped structure that mates with the slot. The structural component is installed inside the industrial computer. One end of the silicone strip is fixed to the structural component via the slot and groove, while the other end of the silicone strip abuts and presses against the modular hardware inside the industrial computer. This secures the modular hardware within the industrial computer.

[0004] However, since the height of the silicone strip is fixed, the same silicone strip can only be used to secure modular hardware of a certain height. When installing modular hardware of different specifications in an industrial computer, it is necessary to customize silicone strips that can clamp the modular hardware according to its height.

[0061] 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 based on this application are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0062] In related technologies, silicone strips and structural components are used to fix the modular hardware 300 in the industrial control computer or vision controller. When dealing with modular hardware 300 of different specifications, silicone strips that can compress the modular hardware 300 need to be customized according to the height of the modular hardware 300.

[0063] Meanwhile, due to the limited internal space of some industrial PCs or vision controllers, it is difficult to directly insert silicone strips into the structural components inside the equipment. Therefore, when installing silicone strips, it is necessary to first remove the structural components inside the equipment. After fixing the silicone strips and structural components to the outside of the equipment, the entire assembly is then installed inside the industrial PC or vision controller, making the fixing and anti-loosening process inconvenient.

[0064] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a fixing bracket, such as... Figures 1 to 3a As shown, Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of the fixed bracket provided by this utility model. Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of the fixed bracket provided by this utility model without the adjustment component installed. Figure 3a for Figure 1 An exploded view of the adjusting assembly of the fixed bracket shown. It is used for installation within the device body 400. The fixed bracket includes: a bracket body 1 and an adjusting assembly 2; the bracket body 1 includes: a mounting plate 11; both ends of the mounting plate 11 are used to connect to the device body; at least one mounting hole 111 is provided on the mounting plate 11; one end of the adjusting assembly 2 passes through the mounting hole 111 and is used to press the modular hardware 300 within the device body 400; wherein the length of the adjusting assembly 2 extending beyond the mounting hole 111 is adjustable. The modular hardware 300 can be a PCIe card, an encrypted USB flash drive, etc.

[0065] In this embodiment, the bracket body 1 of the fixed bracket is fixedly installed inside the main body 400 of the industrial computer or vision controller, and the adjustment component 2 passes through the mounting hole 111 on the mounting plate 11 of the bracket body. Figure 7a As shown, Figure 7a for Figure 6The diagram shows the structure of the industrial computer without the top and side covers. Inside the industrial computer, the modular hardware 300 is located below the fixed bracket. By adjusting the length of the adjusting component 2 extending from the mounting hole 111, the adjusting component 2 can be used to securely fix the modular hardware 300 of different specifications.

[0066] Specifically, when the modular hardware 300 is installed inside an industrial computer or vision controller, the extension length of the adjustment component 2 is adjusted according to the dimensions of the modular hardware 300. Part of the adjustment component 2 extends from the mounting hole 111 to below the mounting plate 11, allowing it to press the modular hardware firmly against the plate. During this process, when the modular hardware 300 is a half-height card with a height less than the standard size, the extension length of the adjustment component 2 from the mounting plate 11 is increased, causing the adjustment component 2 to abut and press against the half-height card. When the height of the modular hardware 300 is greater than the standard size, the extension length of the adjustment component 2 from the mounting plate 11 is shortened, causing the adjustment component 2 to abut and press against the modular hardware 300. This ensures that the modular hardware 300 will not detach from the hardware slot 421 during transportation or vibration, preventing poor contact.

[0067] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown, Figure 3b for Figure 3a The enlarged view shown in M1 shows the mounting hole 111 as a threaded hole. The adjustment assembly 2 includes an adjustment screw 21. The adjustment screw 21 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, and the adjustment screw 21 includes a first end and a second end, which are located on both sides of the mounting plate 11, respectively. The second end is used to press the modular hardware 300.

[0068] In this embodiment, the adjusting screw 21 of the adjusting component 2 passes through the mounting plate 11 of the bracket body 1. The adjusting screw 21, through its engagement with the threaded hole, allows it to extend or retract from the threaded hole in the mounting plate 11. This provides a secure, anti-loosening fixation for modular hardware 300 of different specifications.

[0069] Specifically, as shown in 7a, when the modular hardware 300 needs to be installed inside the industrial computer or vision controller, the extension length of the adjusting screw 21 is adjusted so that part of the adjusting screw 21 retracts from the threaded hole to the side of the mounting plate 11 away from the modular hardware 300. At this time, there is sufficient space inside the industrial computer or vision controller to install the modular hardware 300.

[0070] After the modular hardware 300 is installed inside the industrial computer or vision controller, adjust the extension length of the adjusting screw 21 so that part of the adjusting screw 21 extends from the threaded hole to the side of the mounting plate 11 facing the modular hardware 300, so that the adjusting screw 21 can press the modular hardware 300 tightly. The adjusting screw 21 can be a screw or a bolt.

[0071] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3c As shown, Figure 3c for Figure 1 The adjustment assembly of the fixed bracket shown is a cross-sectional view of the guide post and the first elastic element. The mounting hole 111 is a through hole. The adjustment assembly 2 includes a guide post 25 and a first elastic element 26. The guide post 25 passes through the mounting hole 111. The first end of the guide post 25 is the end close to the modular hardware 300. The first end of the guide post 25 is provided with a first limiting boss 251. The second end of the guide post 25 is provided with a second limiting boss 252. The first elastic element 26 is sleeved on the guide post 25 and is located between the second limiting boss 252 and the mounting plate 11.

[0072] In this embodiment, the adjusting component 2 can also be a guide post 25, which passes through the mounting plate 11 via the mounting hole 111. A first elastic member 26 is fitted onto the portion of the guide post 25 located below the mounting plate 11. Furthermore, a first limiting boss 251 is provided at the first end of the guide post 25 above the mounting plate 11, and a second limiting boss 252 is provided at the second end of the guide post 25 below the mounting plate 11. The first limiting boss 251 prevents the guide post 25 from dislodging due to excessive extension. The second limiting boss 252 prevents the first elastic member 26 from slipping off the guide post 25.

[0073] For modular hardware 300 of different specifications, the first elastic element 26 is compressed to different degrees, thereby adjusting the length of the guide post 25 extending out of the mounting hole 111. Specifically, under the action of the first elastic element 26, the guide post 25 always abuts against the modular hardware 300, and the second limiting boss 252 and the mounting plate 11 compress the first elastic element 26, causing the first elastic element 26 to undergo elastic deformation and apply pressure in the direction of pressing the modular hardware 300. Since the first elastic element 26 always applies a force to press the modular hardware 300, the pressing effect can be improved. In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3d As shown, Figure 3d for Figure 1The adjusting assembly of the fixed bracket shown is a cross-sectional view of a sleeve, a second elastic element, and a top rod. The mounting hole 111 is a through hole. The adjusting assembly 2 includes a sleeve 27, a second elastic element 28, and a top rod 29. The sleeve 27 is detachably fixed in the mounting hole 111. The second elastic element 28 is placed inside the sleeve 27, with one end connected to the inner sidewall of the sleeve 27 away from the modular hardware 300, and the other end connected to the top rod 29. The top rod 29 extends at least partially out of the sleeve 27.

[0074] In this embodiment, the push rod 29 can extend or retract along the axial direction of the sleeve 27. For different specifications of modular hardware 300, the second elastic element 28 is compressed to varying degrees, resulting in different lengths of the push rod extending out of the sleeve 27. Furthermore, under the action of the second elastic element 28, the push rod 29 always presses firmly against the modular hardware 300, reducing the risk of the modular hardware 300 becoming loose.

[0075] In the two embodiments described above, the first elastic element 26 and the second elastic element 28 can be springs.

[0076] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown, when the modular hardware 300 is pressed by the adjusting screw 21, the adjusting component 2 also includes: an end nut 22; the end nut 22 is disposed at the second end of the adjusting screw 21; the outer diameter of the end nut 22 is larger than the diameter of the second end of the adjusting screw 21, and the second end of the adjusting screw 21 presses the modular hardware 300 by the end nut 22.

[0077] In this embodiment, an end nut 22 is provided at the end of the adjusting screw 21 that abuts against the modular hardware 300. Since the outer diameter of the end nut 22 is larger than the diameter of the second end of the adjusting screw 21, the contact area between the adjusting component 2 and the modular hardware 300 is increased, thereby achieving better contact between the adjusting component 2 and the modular hardware 300. Furthermore, when the adjusting screw 21 is a screw, the end nut 22 can cover the sharp end of the screw, thus avoiding the problem of the screw sharp end causing scratches to the modular hardware 300.

[0078] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown, the adjustment component 2 also includes: a flexible shim 23; the flexible shim 23 is disposed on the side of the end nut 22 away from the first end of the adjustment screw 21; when the end nut 22 presses against the modular hardware 300, the flexible shim 23 abuts against the modular hardware 300.

[0079] In this embodiment, the flexible pad 23 can be made of a soft material such as silicone or foam. When the adjusting screw 21 abuts against the modular hardware 300, the flexible pad 23 directly contacts the modular hardware 300. Because the flexible pad 23 is made of a soft material, it prevents the adjusting screw 21 from crushing or damaging the surface of the modular hardware 300. Furthermore, the flexible pad 23 has a certain amount of friction with the modular hardware 300, which prevents slippage between the adjusting screw 21 and the modular hardware 300.

[0080] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 2 to 3b As shown. The adjustment assembly 2 also includes: a screw head 24 connected to the first end of the adjustment screw 21, and a pre-made groove 241 on the side of the screw head 24 away from the first end of the adjustment screw 21, so as to rotate the adjustment screw 21 through the pre-made groove 241 with the aid of a tool.

[0081] In this embodiment, the pre-made groove 241 of the screw head 24 can be a straight groove, a cross groove, a hexagonal groove, or other shapes. When it is necessary to adjust the extension length of the adjusting screw 21, a screwdriver matching the structure of the pre-made groove 241 is used to tighten the screw head 24 of the adjusting screw 21, allowing the adjusting screw 21 to extend or retract along the mounting hole 111. This ensures that the modular hardware 300 will not come loose from the hardware slot 421 during transportation or vibration, resulting in poor contact.

[0082] At the same time, when the adjusting screw 21 extends to the side of the mounting plate 11 facing the modular hardware 300 and reaches its limit length, the side of the screw head 24 away from the pre-made groove 241 can abut against the mounting plate 11, thereby restricting the movement of the adjusting screw 21 and preventing the adjusting screw 21 from coming off the mounting plate 11.

[0083] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the fixed bracket provided by this utility model without the mounting plate buffer pad and side plate buffer pad installed. The bracket body 1 also includes: two first side plates 12 arranged opposite each other along a first direction X and two second side plates 13 arranged opposite each other along a second direction Y. The first side plates 12 and the second side plates 13 are both connected to the mounting plate 11. The first side plates 12, the second side plates 13 and the mounting plate 11 can form an accommodating space 14. Each first side plate 12 has a hanging ear 121 at the end away from the mounting plate 11. The mounting plate 11 is fixedly connected to the equipment body 400 through the hanging ear 121. The second side plate 13 is also provided with a cable routing opening 131 for passing through the lead wire of the component to be placed in the accommodating space 14.

[0084] In this embodiment, the bracket body 1 is further provided with two first side plates 12 and two second side plates 13. The first side plates 12 and two side plates 13 are both perpendicular to the mounting plate 11 and extend towards the side of the mounting plate 11 away from the modular hardware 300. Thus, the two first side plates 12 and two second side plates 13 can form a receiving space 14 on the side of the mounting plate 11 away from the modular hardware 300, allowing the component to be placed to be installed within the receiving space 14. The lugs 121 are provided with lug openings 1211, and screws are passed through the lug openings 1211 to the device body 400 to fix the bracket body 1 to the device body 400.

[0085] Furthermore, the end of each first side plate 12 away from the mounting plate 11 can be folded outward in a direction away from the other first side plate 12 to form a hanging ear 121. The folded portion of each first side plate 12 can have a notch, thereby forming two mutually spaced hanging ears 121 on each first side plate 12.

[0086] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a wiring opening 131 can be provided on the second side plate 13. When a component to be placed is installed in the receiving space 14, the lead wire of the component to be placed can extend through the wiring opening 131, thereby electrically connecting with other components.

[0087] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown. At least one of the first side plates 12 is provided with at least one first through hole 122 for gas exchange between the interior and exterior of the accommodating space 14.

[0088] In this embodiment, as Figure 7a As shown, a first through hole 122 is provided on the first side plate 12. The first through hole 122 is correspondingly provided with a heat dissipation component 430 on the industrial control computer. This allows the heat dissipation component 430 to blow air towards the first through hole 122, dissipating heat from the component to be placed in the receiving space 14. The first through hole 122 can be selected as an elongated hole, which can effectively increase airflow. Figures 1 to 3a As shown, airflow holes 113 are also provided on the mounting plate 11. After the outside cold airflow enters the receiving space 14 through the first through hole 122, part of the cold airflow blows towards the component to be placed, cooling it down. Another part of the cold airflow can blow towards the modular hardware 300 through the airflow holes 113, thereby dissipating heat from the modular hardware 300.

[0089] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 4 to 5a3 As shown, Figure 5a1 for Figure 1 The front view of the side panel cushioning pad is shown. Figure 5a2 for Figure 5a1 The side view shown is of the side panel cushioning pad. Figure 5a3 for Figure 5a1 The diagram shows a perspective view of the side plate buffer pad. The second side plate 13 has multiple second through holes 132; each second through hole 132 includes a first sub-hole 1321 and a second sub-hole 1322 that are interconnected; the diameter of the second sub-hole 1322 is larger than the diameter of the second sub-hole 1322; the fixing bracket also includes a side plate buffer pad 15; the side plate buffer pad 15 includes a first end 151, a first connecting portion 152, and a second end 153 connected in sequence; the second end 153 of the side plate buffer pad 15 passes through the second sub-hole 1322 and is located on the side of the second side plate 13 facing the receiving space 14; the side plate buffer pad 15 slides from the second sub-hole 1322 into the first sub-hole 1321; the first connecting portion 152 engages with the first sub-hole 1321, so that the first end 151 and the second end 153 are respectively located on both sides of the second side plate 13 for contact with the component to be placed.

[0090] In this embodiment, taking a hard drive as an example, the side plate buffer pad 15 cushions the hard drive installed in the receiving space 14 of the bracket body 1. After the side plate buffer pad 15 passes through the second sub-hole 1322 of the second through hole 132, the first connecting part 152 between the first end 151 and the second end 153 is inserted into the first sub-hole 1321, so that the side plate buffer pad 15 is fixed in the second through hole 132. At this time, the first end 151 and the second end 153 are located on the inner and outer sides of the receiving space 14, respectively. Taking the second end 153 being located on the inner side of the receiving space 14 as an example, when the hard drive is installed in the receiving space 14, the two sides of the hard drive facing the second side plate 13 abut against the second end 153 of the side plate buffer pad 15. This allows the side plate buffer pad 15 to cushion the two sides of the hard drive facing the second side plate 12, thereby reducing the wear and tear on the hard drive caused by the bracket body 1. Furthermore, the side plate buffer pad 15 can increase the friction between the component to be placed and the two side plates, improving the fixing effect of the component to be placed.

[0091] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figures 5b1 to 5c As shown, Figure 5b1 for Figure 1 The front view of the mounting plate cushioning pad is shown. Figure 5b2 for Figure 5b1 The side view of the mounting plate cushioning pad shown is shown. Figure 5b3 for Figure 5b1 An angled view of the mounting plate cushioning pad shown. Figure 5c for Figure 1The diagram shows a structural schematic of a fixed bracket with a component to be placed inside. The mounting plate 11 has multiple third through holes 112; each third through hole 112 includes a third sub-hole 1121 and a fourth sub-hole 1122 that are interconnected; the diameter of the fourth sub-hole 1122 is larger than the diameter of the third sub-hole 1121. The fixed bracket also includes a mounting plate buffer pad 16; the mounting plate buffer pad 16 includes a third end 161, a second connecting portion 162, and a fourth end 163 connected in sequence; the fourth end 163 of the mounting plate buffer pad 16 passes through the fourth sub-hole 1122; it is located on the side of the mounting plate 11 facing the receiving space 14; the mounting plate buffer pad 16 slides from the fourth sub-hole 1122 into the third sub-hole 1121; the second connecting portion 162 engages with the third sub-hole 1121, so that the third end 161 and the fourth end 163 are located on opposite sides of the mounting plate 11, for contact with the component to be placed. Furthermore, the mounting plate buffer pad 16 can increase the friction between the part to be placed and the mounting plate 11, thereby improving the fixing effect of the part to be placed.

[0092] In this embodiment, the mounting plate buffer pad 16 cushions the component to be placed within the receiving space 14 of the bracket body 1. After the mounting plate buffer pad 16 passes through the fourth sub-hole 1122 of the third through hole 112, the second connecting portion 162 between the third end 161 and the fourth end 163 is inserted into the third sub-hole 1121, thus fixing the mounting plate buffer pad 16 within the third through hole 112. At this time, the third end 161 and the fourth end 163 are located on the inner and outer sides of the receiving space 14, respectively. Taking the fourth end 163 as the inner side of the receiving space 14 as an example, when the component to be placed is installed in the receiving space 14, the side of the component to be placed facing the mounting plate 11 abuts against the fourth end 163 of the mounting plate buffer pad 16. This allows the mounting plate buffer pad 16 to cushion the side of the component to be placed facing the mounting plate 11, thereby reducing the wear and tear on the hard drive caused by the bracket body 1.
