[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1 to 5As shown in this embodiment, an industrial control module includes a DIN rail 1 and an industrial communication control module 2. Several DIN rails 1 are fixedly installed inside a control cabinet. Positioning holes 3 are equidistantly spaced in the middle of each DIN rail 1. A positioning rod 4 is slidably installed on one side of the middle of the industrial communication control module 2, and the positioning rod 4 is slidably inserted into the positioning hole 3. Movable blocks 5 are symmetrically slidably installed at both ends of one side of the industrial communication control module 2. A locking block 6 is movably installed on the upper part of each movable block 5. A locking groove 7 is symmetrically opened on both sides of one end of each locking block 6. The locking groove 7 can be locked onto either side of the DIN rail 1, and the position can be adjusted according to the position of the several DIN rails 1 inside the control cabinet. The height between the two locking blocks 6 on the same side is used to adjust the position of the industrial communication control module 2 on one, two adjacent, or two spaced-apart DIN rails 1. The locking blocks 6 are adjusted to the position on either side of the DIN rail 1, and then the locking slots 7 on the locking blocks are locked onto either side of the DIN rail 1. This can be used to install the industrial communication control module 2 on the DIN rail 1, improving the adaptability of the industrial communication control module 2 on the DIN rail 1. At the same time, the positioning rod 4 can be slidably inserted into the positioning hole 3, which can be used to fix the industrial communication control module 2 to the DIN rail 1, prevent the industrial communication control module 2 from sliding on the DIN rail 1, and improve the installation stability of the industrial communication control module 2.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the industrial communication control module 2 has a storage hole 8 in the middle. The positioning rod 4 is slidably installed inside the storage hole 8. A push spring 9 is fixedly installed at one end of the positioning rod 4. The end of the push spring 9 away from the positioning rod 4 is fixedly connected to the end of the industrial communication control module 2 corresponding to the storage hole 8.

[0024] When the industrial communication control module 2 is installed on the DIN rail 1, the positioning rod 4 can be slidably inserted into the positioning hole 3 by pushing the spring 9 to push the positioning rod 4.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a first extrusion slope 10 is provided on the outer side of the positioning rod 4, a pressure rod 11 is vertically slidably installed in the middle of the industrial communication control module 2, a second extrusion slope 12 is provided at the bottom end of the pressure rod 11, the second extrusion slope 12 is in extrusion contact with the pressure rod 11, and a pressure block 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the pressure rod 11.

[0026] By pressing down the pressure block 13, the second pressing slope 12 at the bottom of the pressure rod 11 will press the first pressing slope 10 on the outside of the positioning rod 4, which will cause the positioning rod 4 to slide and be stored inside the storage hole 8. At this time, the push spring 9 is in a compressed state, which can slide the positioning rod 4 out of the positioning hole 3 and move the industrial communication control module 2 along the trajectory of the DIN guide rail 1, so that the position of the industrial communication control module 2 can be adjusted.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the movable block 5 has symmetrical movable holes 14 in the middle. Movable rods 15 are slidably installed inside the movable holes 14. The ends of the two movable rods 15 are fixedly connected to one end of the locking block 6. An adjusting spring 16 is sleeved on the outer side of the movable rod 15 away from the locking block 6. One end of the adjusting spring 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the movable block 5, and the other end of the adjusting spring 16 is fixedly connected to the end of the movable rod 15 away from the locking block 6.

[0028] When adjusting the height between the two locking blocks 6 on the same side, there is no need to precisely adjust the distance between the two locking blocks 6. By controlling the sliding of the movable rod 15 inside the movable hole 14, the position between the movable block 5 and the locking block 6 can be finely adjusted by adjusting the action of the spring 16, so that the locking slot 7 can be easily locked on the DIN guide rail 1.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the industrial communication control module 2 has a first slide groove 17 symmetrically opened at both ends on one side, and the movable block 5 is slidably installed inside the first slide groove 17. The industrial communication control module 2 has a second slide groove 18 symmetrically opened on both sides, and a connecting slider 19 is slidably installed inside the second slide groove 18. A connecting rod 20 is rotatably installed between one end of the connecting slider 19 and the middle of the movable block 5 through a shaft pin.

[0030] By pushing the connecting slider 19 along the trajectory of the second slide groove 18, the connection between the connecting slider 19 and the movable block 5 via the connecting rod 20 will cause the movable block 5 to slide inside the first slide groove 17, thereby adjusting the distance between the two locking blocks 6 on the same side.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a fastening bolt 21 is threadedly installed in the middle of the connecting slider 19.

[0032] After determining the position of the connecting slider 19, the position of the connecting slider 19 can be fixed by rotating the fastening bolt 21, passing the end of the fastening bolt 21 through the connecting slider 19, and pressing the industrial communication control module 2.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the opening of the card slot 7 is chamfered 22.

[0034] This makes it easy to attach the slot 7 to one side of the DIN rail 1.

[0035] This utility model provides an industrial control module, the specific working principle of which is as follows:

[0036] When the device is in use, the height between two locking blocks 6 on the same side is adjusted according to the position of several DIN rails 1 inside the control cabinet. By pushing the connecting slider 19 along the trajectory of the second slide groove 18, the connecting rod 20 connects the connecting slider 19 and the movable block 5, which drives the movable block 5 to slide inside the first slide groove 17, thereby adjusting the distance between the two locking blocks 6 on the same side. The industrial communication control module 2 can be installed on one, two adjacent, or two spaced-apart DIN rails 1. The locking blocks 6 are adjusted to the position of either side of the DIN rail 1, and then the locking slots 7 on the locking blocks are locked into either side of the DIN rail 1. This can be used to install the industrial communication control module 2 on the DIN rail 1. At the same time, by pushing the spring 9 to push the positioning rod 4, the positioning rod 4 can be slidably inserted into the positioning hole 3. The internal mechanism can be used to fix the industrial communication control module 2 to the DIN rail 1, preventing the industrial communication control module 2 from sliding on the DIN rail 1 and improving the installation stability of the industrial communication control module 2. When adjusting the position of the industrial communication control module 2 on the DIN rail 1, by pressing down the pressure block 13, the second pressing slope 12 at the bottom of the pressure rod 11 will press the first pressing slope 10 on the outside of the positioning rod 4, which will drive the positioning rod 4 to slide and be stored inside the storage hole 8. At this time, the push spring 9 is in a compressed state, which can slide the positioning rod 4 out of the positioning hole 3 and move the industrial communication control module 2 along the trajectory of the DIN rail 1. When it moves to the final position, the pressure block 13 is released, and the positioning rod 4 can be inserted into the positioning hole 3 by pushing the spring 9, which is used to adjust the position of the industrial communication control module 2.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
