Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial controller technology, and in particular to a convenient industrial controller based on modular rapid assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of industrial automation control, industrial controllers, as core equipment, directly affect the efficiency and stability of the entire industrial production system through their performance and ease of assembly and maintenance. With increasing emphasis on equipment flexibility, rapid response capabilities, and maintenance cost control in industrial production, traditional industrial controllers are gradually revealing some pressing issues in their structural design.

[0003] Traditional industrial controllers often rely on complex tools and cumbersome fixing methods during the installation of modular circuit boards. For example, screwdrivers and other tools are typically used to fix the modular circuit board inside the controller with multiple screws. This installation method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also cumbersome when it is necessary to replace or upgrade the modular circuit board. This greatly affects the efficiency of assembly and replacement, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern industrial production for rapid deployment and flexible adjustment.

[0004] Regarding the protective structure of industrial controllers, the protective cover is a crucial component that protects internal electronic components from external environmental interference and physical damage. Its installation and fixing methods directly affect the user experience and reliability of the controller. Most existing protective cover installation methods employ a single fixing structure. Furthermore, if the protective cover needs to be replaced due to long-term use or unexpected circumstances, this single fixing structure increases the difficulty and cost of replacement.

[0005] Therefore, a convenient industrial controller based on modular rapid assembly is designed. Utility Model Content

[0033] The limiting mechanism includes a limiting block 22 disposed inside the second mounting groove 17. The limiting block 22 slides inside the second mounting groove 17.
