The bottom surface of the bottommost long slide rail has two fixing rods fixedly connected. The bottom ends of the two fixing rods are fixedly connected to a connecting plate. The top surface of the connecting plate is screwed with a fastening knob. The bottom surface of the connecting plate has two return springs two fixedly connected symmetrically. The bottom ends of the two return springs two are fixedly connected to a mating plate. The top surface of the mating plate has a threaded hole that mates with the fastening knob. The side wall of the mating plate is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the housing.
[0010] Preferably, the front end of the box is connected to a door via a hinge, and the surface of the door is provided with a mounting groove.
[0011] Furthermore, each of the brackets has a number of grooves on its surface.
[0012] Furthermore, the inner bottom surface of the box has two symmetrical sliding grooves.
[0013] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the outer frame is symmetrically and fixedly connected with two support rods, and the bottom ends of the two support rods are slidably connected to two sliding grooves respectively.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] 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.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] Please see Figure 1-7 In this embodiment of the utility model, a PLC control box that is easy to maintain includes a box body 100. A plurality of short slide rails 110 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the two inner side walls of the box body 100. A groove 1101 is formed on the top surface of each of the short slide rails 110 near its outer end. A sliding groove 120 is formed on each of the two inner side walls of the box body 100. A mounting bracket 200 is provided inside the box body 100. The mounting bracket 200 includes an outer frame 210. Two outer... A plurality of sliders 211 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the side walls. Each slider 211 is slidably connected to a plurality of short slide rails 110. A plurality of brackets 220 are fixedly connected at equal intervals inside the outer frame 210. A movable frame 300 is provided on each of the two inner side walls of the housing 100. Each movable frame 300 includes a plurality of long slide rails 310 arranged at equal intervals. Each pair of adjacent long slide rails 310 is fixedly connected by two connecting rods 320. Each of the short slide rails 10 is fixedly connected to a baffle 311 at its end, the baffle 311 fitting into the groove 1101. Each of the long slide rails 310 has a slider 312 fixedly connected to its back, the slider 312 slidingly connected to the groove 120. The bottom surface of the lowest long slide rail 310 has two fixing rods 330 fixedly connected, the bottom ends of the two fixing rods 330 fixedly connected to a connecting plate 340, and the top surface of the connecting plate 340 screwed with a fastening knob 37. 0. Two return springs 350 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting plate 340. The bottom ends of the two return springs 350 are fixedly connected to a docking plate 360. The top surface of the docking plate 360 is provided with a threaded hole that cooperates with the fastening knob 370. The side wall of the docking plate 360 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the housing 100. The front end of the housing 100 is rotatably connected to a door 150 through a hinge. The surface of the door 150 is provided with a mounting groove 151 for mounting a display screen.
[0029] Specifically, the internal dimensions of the long slide rail 310 are the same as those of the short slide rail 110. Supported by the second return spring 350, several long slide rails 310 are flush with several short slide rails 110. During maintenance, the outer frame 210 can be pulled, and the slider 211 moves along the short slide rails 110 and the long slide rails 310 until it reaches the front end of the housing 100, facilitating maintenance by the operator. After maintenance, the outer frame 210 is pushed back into the housing 100, and the moving frame 300 is pressed down, causing several long slide rails 310 to slide along the groove. 120 moves downward, causing the long slide rail 310 and the short slide rail 110 to be misaligned. The baffle 311 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the end of the long slide rail 310, perpendicular to the long slide rail 310. When the moving frame 300 moves downward, several baffles 311 respectively engage with several grooves 1101, blocking the front end of the short slide rail 110 and fixing the outer frame 210 inside the box 100. At this time, the fastening knob 370 can be rotated to fix the connecting plate 340 and the docking plate 360 together, so that the position of the moving frame 300 remains unchanged.
[0030] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, several grooves 221 are provided on the surface of several brackets 220, two sliding grooves 140 are symmetrically provided on the inner bottom surface of the box body 100, and two support rods 230 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the outer frame 210. The bottom ends of the two support rods 230 are slidably connected to the two sliding grooves 140 respectively.
[0031] In this embodiment, the support rod 230 is disposed on the bottom surface of the outer frame 210, which can support the outer frame 210. The bottom of the support rod 230 is slidably connected to the slide groove 140, which enhances the stability of the outer frame 210 moving along the short slide rail 110 and the long slide rail 310. Several wire grooves 221 provided on the surface of the bracket 220 facilitate the insertion and gathering of wires of various electrical components.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] Based on Embodiment 1, several long slide rails 310 are prone to wobbling because they are only supported by two return springs 350. In order to maintain stability after the moving frame 300 moves in Embodiment 1,
[0034] like Figure 4-6As shown, in this embodiment, the top surface of the uppermost long slide rail 310 of the two movable frames 300 is fixedly connected with a rectangular ring 380. Fixing members 130 are fixedly connected to the two inner sidewalls of the housing 100 near the top. Each fixing member 130 includes a mounting block 131, the top side of which is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the housing 100. An insertion groove 1311 is provided on the inner sidewall of the mounting block 131, and a locking block 132 is slidably connected within the insertion groove 1311. A return spring 135 is fixedly connected between the inner wall of the locking block 132 and the inner wall of the insertion groove 1311. A round rod 133 is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the locking block 132, and a pull ring 134 is fixedly connected to the other end of the round rod 133 extending through the outer sidewall of the mounting block 131.
[0035] In practice, under the elastic force of the return spring 135, the locking block 132 extends outward into the insertion slot 1311. When maintenance is required, rotating the fastening knob 370 releases the fixing rod 330 from the top surface of the mating plate 360. The compressed return spring 350 then rebounds, pushing several long slide rails 310 upwards. The top surface of the rectangular ring 380 contacts the bottom surface of the locking block 132. Manually moving the moving frame 300 upwards causes the rectangular ring 380 to press against the locking block 132. The return spring 135 contracts, causing the locking block 132 to retract into the insertion slot 1311. When the long slide rails 310 move to be flush with the short slide rails 110, the locking block... The connecting block 132 corresponds to the hole in the middle of the rectangular ring 380. After the pressure is lost, the retaining spring 135 returns the retaining block 132 to extend outward, thereby engaging with the rectangular ring 380. This keeps the rectangular ring 380 in place, thus fixing the position of the movable frame 300 and preventing it from shaking. After maintenance, the outer frame 210 is pushed back to its original position, and then the pull ring 134 is pulled, causing the round rod 133 to drive the retaining block 132 to retract into the insertion slot 1311. At this time, the retaining block 132 no longer restricts the rectangular ring 380, and the movable frame 300 can be moved downward. The connecting plate 340 and the mating plate 360 are then fixed by the fastening knob 370.
[0036] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
[0037] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
