Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of motion control technology, specifically relating to a distributed I / O motion control device. Background Technology
[0002] In the fields of industrial automation and motion control, distributed I / O (input / output) systems serve as a crucial bridge connecting the central controller and field devices. Their performance and reliability directly impact the efficiency and stability of the entire automated production line. With the rise of smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0, the requirements for distributed I / O systems are increasingly stringent. They not only need high-speed and precise data transmission capabilities but also need to adapt to complex and ever-changing industrial environments, enabling flexible layout and efficient maintenance. In recent years, with the rapid development of electronic technology and materials science, distributed I / O systems have made significant progress in hardware design, communication protocols, and software algorithms, driving the continuous improvement of industrial automation levels.
[0003] However, despite the significant achievements of existing technologies in the construction and application of distributed I / O systems, there are still significant shortcomings in the reliability of modular assembly and electrical connections. Traditional distributed I / O systems mostly adopt fixed or semi-fixed connection methods, and the assembly and disassembly process between modules is cumbersome, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and difficult to guarantee the accuracy and stability of each connection. This problem is particularly prominent in industrial scenarios where I / O modules need to be frequently replaced or adjusted. In addition, traditional connection methods are prone to problems such as poor contact and signal attenuation when dealing with harsh industrial environments such as vibration and shock, which seriously affect the overall performance and reliability of the system. Therefore, it is necessary for staff to improve these methods. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] Control box;
[0008] Both sides of the control box are provided with plug-in panels, and plug-in posts are inserted into the surface of the plug-in panels. One end of each plug-in post is electrically connected to a wire.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] (1) By setting up a control box, plug-in panel, plug-in post, wires, assembly box, electric guide rail, sliding block, connecting frame, fixed clamping plate, magnetic coil, magnetic ring, connecting rod, clamping block, connecting spring and extension block, the rapid assembly and reliable connection of the distributed IO module is realized. The electric guide rail drives the sliding block to move horizontally, so that the connecting frame is accurately positioned; after the magnetic coil is energized, it drives the magnetic ring to drive the clamping block to press down, and works with the fixed clamping plate to clamp the extension block to ensure the stable connection of the plug-in post; after the power is cut off, the connecting spring automatically resets, which facilitates module replacement.

[0018] (2) The device achieves efficient heat dissipation and temperature management through the design of a protective box, drive motor, drive rod, fan blades, and heat dissipation holes. The protective box protects the internal components from the influence of the external environment; the drive motor drives the fan blades to rotate, generating forced airflow, which, together with the heat dissipation holes on the surface of the control box, forms a convection cooling channel to quickly dissipate internal heat.

[0025] 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.
[0026] Example 1:
[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a distributed I / O motion control device includes: a control box 1;
[0028] Both sides of the control box 1 are provided with plug-in panels 2. Plug-in posts 3 are inserted into the surface of the plug-in panels 2. One end of each plug-in post 3 is electrically connected to a wire 4. With the control box 1 as the core carrier, the plug-in panels 2 on both sides are used to integrate the plug-in posts 3. The plug-in posts 3 realize the electrical connection between external devices and the device through the wire 4, forming the signal transmission basis of distributed IO.
[0029] Multiple assembly boxes 5 are fixedly connected to the top of the control box 1. Electric guide rails 6 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the assembly box 5. Sliding blocks 7 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the electric guide rails 6. Connecting brackets 8 are fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding blocks 7. Fixed clamping plates 9 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting brackets 8.
[0030] A magnetic coil 10 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the connecting frame 8. A magnetic ring 11 is sleeved on the surface of the magnetic coil 10. A connecting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the magnetic ring 11. A clamping block 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 12. A connecting spring 14 is fixedly connected to the back of the magnetic ring 11, and one end of the connecting spring 14 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the connecting frame 8. An extension block 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the insertion post 3. The two sides of the extension block 15 are located on the back of the fixed clamping plate 9 and the surface of the clamping block 13, respectively. The electric guide rails 6 on the upper and lower sides inside the assembly box 5 drive the connecting frame 8 to move horizontally through the sliding block 7. The fixed clamping plate 9 and the clamping block 13 at the bottom of the connecting frame 8 constitute a dynamic clamping mechanism. 10 is fixed to the inner bottom wall of the connecting frame 8. After being energized, it generates an electromagnetic interaction with the sleeved magnet ring 11, driving the magnet ring 11 to move. It also completes the clamping or releasing of the extension block 15 through the linkage of the connecting rod 12 and the clamping block 13. The connecting spring 14 is used to reset the magnet ring 11 and form a certain compressive force. The extension block 15, as the top extension structure of the plug-in post 3, is clamped by the fixing plate 9 and the clamping block 13 to ensure the stable connection and quick insertion and removal of the plug-in post 3. The overall structure realizes the efficient assembly, flexible layout and reliable connection of the distributed IO module through the sliding adjustment of the electric guide rail 6 and the precise clamping of the electromagnetic drive, while taking into account the stability of mechanical movement and the accuracy of electrical contact.
[0031] Example 2:
[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a protective box 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the control box 1. A drive motor 17 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the protective box 16. A drive rod 18 is installed at the output end of the drive motor 17. A fan blade 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the drive rod 18. The protective box 16 provides physical protection for the internal components. The drive motor 17 fixed to the inner top wall drives the fan blade 19 to rotate through the output drive rod 18, generating forced airflow. Multiple sets of heat dissipation holes 20 are opened on the surface of the control box 1. The airflow generated by the rotation of the fan blade 19, together with the multiple sets of heat dissipation holes 20 on the surface of the control box 1, forms an efficient heat dissipation channel, which quickly dissipates the heat generated during the operation of the device, ensuring that the internal electronic components work stably at a suitable temperature. Through the synergistic effect of active heat dissipation and passive ventilation, the heat accumulation problem caused by long-term operation of the distributed IO motion control device is effectively solved, improving the reliability and service life of the system.
[0033] Example 3:
[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 5As shown, in automated production lines, distributed I / O motion control devices are often used for the collaborative control of multi-axis robotic arms. For example, on an automotive welding assembly line, multiple robotic arms need to move synchronously, receive signals from different sensors (such as position, pressure, etc.), and adjust their actions in real time. Traditional centralized control systems have complex wiring and poor scalability, while distributed I / O motion control devices can flexibly configure I / O modules, improving the system's response speed and reliability.
[0035] The control box 1 of the distributed IO motion control device is installed in the production line control cabinet, and the driver and sensor signal lines (wires 4) of each robotic arm are connected through the plug-in pins 3 on the plug-in panel 2.
[0036] The extension block 15 at the top of the plug-in post 3 is automatically clamped by the fixing plate 9 and the clamping block 13 inside the assembly box 5, ensuring a secure connection. The electric guide rail 6 can adjust the position of the sliding block 7 to accommodate I / O modules of different sizes.
[0037] When the IO module needs to be replaced or adjusted, the magnetic coil 10 is energized, causing the magnetic ring 11 to drive the connecting rod 12 downwards, and the clamping block 13 to release the extension block 15, facilitating quick insertion and removal. After power is cut off, the connecting spring 14 resets the clamping block 13, relocking the module.
[0038] During continuous operation, the drive motor 17 drives the fan blades 19 to rotate, which, together with the heat dissipation holes 20, forms forced heat dissipation to prevent overheating inside the control box 1 and ensure long-term stable operation.
[0039] Working principle: The control box 1 serves as the core control unit, while the plug-in panels 2 on both sides are used to connect external devices. The plug-in pins 3 and wires 4 cooperate to achieve signal transmission, forming a distributed I / O electrical interface. When the device is running, the electric guide rail 6 in the assembly box 5 at the top of the control box 1 drives the sliding block 7 to move horizontally, which drives the connecting frame 8 to adjust its position, so that the fixing plate 9 and the clamping block 13 are precisely aligned with the extension block 15 at the top of the plug-in pin 3. After the magnetic coil 10 is energized, it generates a magnetic field, which drives the magnet ring 11 to move in the vertical direction. Through the connecting rod 12, it drives the clamping block 13 to press down, which works in conjunction with the fixing plate 9 to firmly clamp the extension block 15, ensuring the stable connection of the plug-in pin 3. After the power is cut off, the connecting spring 14 resets the magnet ring 11 and releases the clamping block 13, which facilitates quick module replacement. At the same time, the drive motor 17 in the protective box 16 drives the fan blade 19 to rotate through the drive rod 18, which forms forced convection cooling with the heat dissipation holes 20 on the surface of the control box 1, effectively reducing the internal temperature and ensuring the long-term stable operation of electronic components. The entire system achieves efficient deployment, reliable connection, and temperature management of distributed I / O modules through the synergistic effect of electric adjustment, electromagnetic locking, and active heat dissipation, making it suitable for high-precision and high-reliability industrial automation control scenarios.
