Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of injection molding machine technology, and in particular relates to an installation structure for a data acquisition device based on an injection molding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Injection molding machine data acquisition devices are systems that automatically acquire data from sensors, instruments, or other external devices and convert it into digital signals that can be processed, stored, and analyzed. They typically consist of hardware (such as sensors and analog-to-digital converters) and software, designed to enable real-time monitoring and control of various parameters during the production process. The data acquisition devices require connection and installation via a housing and support structure.

[0003] Traditional injection molding machine data acquisition devices are usually installed inside the control cabinet. These devices are typically secured with multiple screws and require drilling holes in the brackets within the distribution cabinet. This method is not only cumbersome and complex, but the installation process is also hampered by obstructions from wiring harnesses and other electrical components. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an installation structure for a data acquisition device based on an injection molding machine. By setting a snap-fit ​​mechanism, specifically, the main body of the data acquisition gateway is inserted into two mounting brackets via a fixing seat and adjustment plate on the back. At this time, the snap-fit ​​block is pushed, and when the snap-fit ​​block moves to the rear of the mounting bracket, it will return to its original position due to the spring force. The snap-fit ​​block then locks and fixes the main body of the data acquisition gateway, thus quickly completing the installation. This method makes installation more convenient and is not affected by obstructions. It solves the problem that traditional injection molding machine data acquisition devices are usually installed in a control cabinet, where multiple screws are typically used to lock and fix the data acquisition device, and holes need to be drilled in the bracket inside the power distribution cabinet to accommodate the installation. This method is not only cumbersome and complex to operate, but also suffers from obstruction by wiring harnesses and other electrical components.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model relates to an installation structure for a data acquisition device based on an injection molding machine, comprising a data acquisition gateway body, two mounting brackets disposed at the rear of the data acquisition gateway body, and further comprising:

[0007] The latching mechanism is located on the back of the main body of the data acquisition gateway. The latching mechanism includes a fixed base fixedly connected to the back of the main body of the data acquisition gateway. The fixed base has an inner groove, and a latching block is slidably connected inside the inner groove. Several limiting rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the latching block. Springs are sleeved on the outside of the limiting rods. A pull plate is provided at the bottom of the fixed base, and an adjustment plate is provided below the pull plate.

[0008] The mounting bracket is fixed inside the control cabinet, and the fixing seat cooperates with the adjustment plate to position and install the main body of the data acquisition gateway on the mounting bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, the back of the top of the card block is sloped, the bottom of the limiting rod passes through the fixing seat and extends to the outside, the bottom of the fixing seat is fixedly connected to the top of the pull plate, the top of the spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the card block, and the bottom of the spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner groove; since the back of the card block is sloped, the card block will be pushed by the mounting bracket to enter the inner groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the pull plate is L-shaped and is used to connect multiple limiting rods. The pull plate has protruding plates fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the front side. By pulling the protruding plates downward, the pull plate moves downward, and the pull plate drives the locking block to move downward together through the limiting rods, so that the locking block enters the fixing seat, thereby releasing the fixation and facilitating the subsequent disassembly of the data acquisition gateway body.

[0011] Furthermore, the data acquisition gateway body has limit slots and locking slots on both the left and right sides, and the back of the data acquisition gateway body is in contact with the front of the mounting bracket.

[0012] Furthermore, connecting plates are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the adjustment plate. Threaded knobs are threadedly connected to the connecting plates, and a locking disc is fixedly connected to the side of the threaded knob facing the main body of the data acquisition gateway. The locking disc has several protruding strips on the side facing the main body of the data acquisition gateway. Because the locking disc has several protruding strips, the fixing effect can be improved, making the adjustment plate more stable after adjustment.

[0013] Furthermore, a limiting protrusion is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate facing the main body of the data acquisition gateway. The limiting protrusion is slidably connected inside the limiting groove. The limiting protrusion is used to limit the movement of the adjusting plate. The locking plate is set inside the locking groove, and the protrusion on the locking plate contacts the inner wall of the locking groove. When the adjusting plate is pushed up and down for adjustment, the limiting protrusion on the connecting plate will slide in the limiting groove, thereby maintaining the stability of the adjusting plate.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model uses a snap-fit ​​mechanism to connect the main body of the data acquisition gateway to two mounting brackets via a fixed base and adjustment plate on the back. The snap-fit ​​block is pushed and, when it moves to the rear of the mounting bracket, it is reset upward by the spring force. This snap-fit ​​block locks and fixes the main body of the data acquisition gateway, thus completing the installation quickly. This method makes installation more convenient and is not affected by obstructions.

[0016] 2. This utility model uses an adjustment plate. Specifically, by rotating the threaded knob counterclockwise, the locking plate is moved away from the inner wall of the locking groove, thereby releasing the adjustment plate. Then, the adjustment plate is pushed up and down for adjustment. After adjustment, the threaded knob is rotated clockwise to lock the adjustment plate in place. This method, by adjusting the adjustment plate, can meet the needs of mounting brackets at different distances, thus adapting to various control cabinets.

[0017] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model is an installation structure for a data acquisition device based on an injection molding machine, including a data acquisition gateway body 1, two mounting brackets 11 arranged at the rear of the data acquisition gateway body 1, and further including:

[0028] The latching mechanism 2 is located on the back of the data acquisition gateway body 1. The latching mechanism 2 includes a fixing base 21 fixedly connected to the back of the data acquisition gateway body 1. An inner groove 211 is formed inside the fixing base 21, and a latching block 22 is slidably connected inside the inner groove 211. Several limiting rods 221 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the latching block 22, and springs 222 are sleeved on the outer sides of the limiting rods 221. A pull plate 23 is provided at the bottom of the fixing base 21, and an adjusting plate 3 is provided below the pull plate 23. The data acquisition gateway body 1 is secured by the latching mechanism 21 on the back. The base 21 and the adjusting plate 3 are inserted into the two mounting brackets 11. At this time, the locking block 22 will be pushed. When the locking block 22 moves to the rear of the mounting bracket 11, the locking block 22 will be reset upward by the elastic force of the spring 222. At this time, the locking block 22 will lock and fix the data acquisition gateway body 1, and the installation can be completed quickly. This method makes the installation more convenient and will not be affected by obstruction. The mounting bracket 11 is fixed inside the control cabinet. The fixing base 21 and the adjusting plate 3 cooperate to position and install the data acquisition gateway body 1 on the mounting bracket 11.

[0029] The top and back of the locking block 22 are sloped. The bottom of the limiting rod 221 passes through the fixing seat 21 and extends to the outside. The bottom of the fixing seat 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the pull plate 23. The top of the spring 222 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the locking block 22. The bottom of the spring 222 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner groove 211.

[0030] The pull plate 23 is L-shaped and is used to connect multiple limit rods 221. The pull plate 23 has protrusions 231 fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the front side.

[0031] Limiting grooves 12 and locking grooves 13 are provided on the left and right sides of the data acquisition gateway body 1, and the back of the data acquisition gateway body 1 is in contact with the front of the mounting bracket 11.

[0032] The adjusting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the connecting plate 3. The connecting plate 31 is threadedly connected to the threaded knob 32. The side of the threaded knob 32 facing the data acquisition gateway body 1 is fixedly connected to the locking plate 33. The side of the locking plate 33 facing the data acquisition gateway body 1 is provided with several protrusions. Rotating the threaded knob 32 counterclockwise makes the locking plate 33 move away from the inner wall of the locking groove 13, thereby releasing the fixing of the adjusting plate 3. Then, the adjusting plate 3 is pushed up and down to adjust. After adjustment, rotating the threaded knob 32 clockwise makes the adjusting plate 3 lock and fix it. This method can meet the needs of different distance mounting brackets 11 by adjusting the adjusting plate 3, thereby adapting to various control cabinets.

[0033] A limiting protrusion 34 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate 31 facing the main body 1 of the data acquisition gateway. The limiting protrusion 34 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 12. The limiting protrusion 34 is used to limit the movement of the adjusting plate 3. The locking plate 33 is set inside the locking groove 13. The protrusion on the locking plate 33 contacts the inner wall of the locking groove 13.

[0034] One specific application of this embodiment is:

[0035] When installing the data acquisition gateway body 1, the outer shell of the data acquisition gateway body 1 is inserted into the two mounting brackets 11 via the fixing seat 21 and adjusting plate 3 on the back. During the connection, the locking block 22 will first contact the mounting bracket 11. Since the back of the locking block 22 is sloped, the locking block 22 will be pushed by the mounting bracket 11 into the inner groove 211. At the same time, the spring 222 will be compressed, so that the fixing seat 21 and the mounting bracket 11 can be smoothly connected. When the locking block 22 moves to the rear of the mounting bracket 11, the locking block 22 will be reset upward by the elastic force of the spring 222. At this time, the locking block 22 will hold the data acquisition gateway... The main body 1 is fixed in place, and the fixing seat 21 and the adjusting plate 3 are inserted between the two mounting brackets 11. This ensures the stable installation of the data acquisition gateway main body 1 and prevents it from falling off. When the data acquisition gateway main body 1 needs to be disassembled, the operator pulls the convex plate 231 downward, and the pull plate 23 moves downward. The pull plate 23 then moves the locking block 22 downward through the limiting rod 221, so that the locking block 22 enters the fixing seat 21, thus releasing the fixation. Then, the data acquisition gateway main body 1 can be pulled outward to disassemble. This method is simple and convenient to operate during installation and disassembly.

[0036] When the main body 1 of the data acquisition gateway needs to be installed in different control cabinets, the position of the adjustment plate 3 can be adjusted according to the different spacing of the two mounting brackets 11. The threaded knob 32 is turned counterclockwise to make the locking plate 33 move away from the inner wall of the locking groove 13, thereby releasing the fixation of the adjustment plate 3. Then, the adjustment plate 3 is pushed up and down to adjust, and the limiting protrusion 34 on the connecting plate 31 will slide in the limiting groove 12 to keep the adjustment plate 3 stable. When the adjustment plate 3 is moved to the appropriate position, the threaded knob 32 is turned clockwise to make the locking plate 33 contact the inner wall of the locking groove 13, thereby locking and fixing the adjustment plate 3. The locking plate 33 is provided with several protrusions, which can improve the fixing effect and make the adjustment plate 3 more stable after adjustment.

[0037] It should be noted that the main body of the data acquisition gateway 1 is model EBOX-DKM, which is used to monitor the operating status, production data, energy consumption management and alarm information of the injection molding machine in real time, and can optimize data processing efficiency through edge computing.
