[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] As described in the background section, in the original equipment layout, the dual-band wireless device and the wireless conversion device were placed side by side, with one end of the signal conversion device fixed to the inner wall of the signal cabinet and the other end attached to the outer shell of the wireless conversion device. In actual operation, this arrangement presents several problems. Since the devices are all signal processing equipment, they generate high-frequency noise during operation. Placing them side-by-side causes mutual interference. Furthermore, all three devices are prone to overheating, and this contact arrangement hinders heat dissipation and can affect the operating frequency of the device's crystal oscillator.

[0032] Therefore, this application provides a signal control box for a mobile robot, which aims to solve the technical problems of poor heat dissipation and large electromagnetic interference caused by unreasonable equipment layout in the signal box in the prior art.

[0033] The following analysis is based on the accompanying drawings in the instruction manual. Figures 1 to 5A signal control box for a mobile robot includes: a housing 10, and a fixed base 20, a fixed plate 30, and at least three blocking members 40 disposed inside the housing 10; the at least three blocking members 40 are arranged along the length direction of the fixed base 20 on the top surface of the fixed base 20, and any adjacent blocking members 40 define an installation space, the at least three blocking members 40 can define at least two installation spaces, one installation space is provided with a first signal device 1, and the other installation space is provided with a second signal device 2; the fixed plate 30 is perpendicularly connected to the fixed base 20 in a direction away from the blocking members 40, and is configured to install a third signal device 3; wherein, the third signal device 3 is configured to convert the native signal of the peripheral device into a bus signal, the second signal device 2 is configured to convert the bus signal into a movement signal, and the first signal device 1 is configured to transmit the movement signal to the mobile robot.

[0034] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting base 20 can be rectangular and placed at the bottom of the housing 10; the mounting plate 30 can be rectangular and vertically fixed to one side of the short side of the mounting base 20, used to install the third signal device 3, thereby effectively utilizing the longitudinal space inside the housing 10. The third signal device 3 can be a signal converter, used to convert the native signals received by the mobile robot from peripherals (such as sensors and PLCs) into bus signals, so as to realize the conversion between different signals and adapt to different usage requirements.

[0035] In one specific embodiment, when the number of barrier elements 40 is three, the number of installation spaces is two. For example... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the barrier 40 includes a first barrier 420, a second barrier 430, and a third barrier 440. The first barrier 420 and the second barrier 430 define a first installation space, and the second barrier 430 and the third barrier 440 define a second installation space. The first signal device 1 is installed in the first installation space, and the second signal device 2 is installed in the second installation space. The first signal device 1 and the second signal device 2 are physically isolated by the second barrier 430, preventing contact between the two devices. Both devices have independent heat dissipation spaces, and the spacing reduces electromagnetic interference during operation. Simultaneously, the fixing plate 30 is positioned away from the third barrier 440. When the third signal device 3 is mounted on the fixing plate 30, it has independent heat dissipation spaces, and the distance between it and the second signal device 2 also reduces electromagnetic interference during operation. The second signal device 2 can be a wireless converter used to convert bus signals into mobile protocols for accessing wireless networks; the first signal device 1 can be a dual-band wireless device used to transmit mobile signal data back to the mobile robot's controller.

[0036] In summary, by using the barrier 40 to divide the top surface of the mounting base 20 into multiple independent installation spaces, the first signal device 1 and the second signal device 2 are installed in isolation. At the same time, the third signal device 3 is installed separately on one side of the mounting base 20 using the mounting plate 30. This isolation layout not only avoids the three devices from being close together, allowing each device to have its own heat dissipation area, but also reduces electromagnetic interference when the three devices are working, thus improving the rationality of the device layout inside the enclosure 10.

[0037] Preferably, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The sidewall of the first signal device 1 abuts against the barrier 40 on the corresponding side of the sidewall; and / or, the sidewall of the second signal device 2 abuts against the barrier 40 on the corresponding side of the sidewall.

[0038] Since different models of signal equipment have different shapes, in order to improve the stability of the signal equipment during installation, the signal equipment can be placed against the barrier 40, and the barrier 40 can be used to support and stabilize the signal equipment.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, the signal device may abut on one side. The left side wall of the first signal device 1 abuts against the first barrier 420 while the right side wall does not abut, or the right side wall of the first signal device 1 abuts against the second barrier 430 while the left side wall does not abut; the left side wall of the second signal device 2 abuts against the second barrier 430 while the right side wall does not abut, or the right side wall of the second signal device 2 abuts against the third barrier 440 while the left side wall does not abut.

[0040] In one specific embodiment, the signal device may be abutted from both sides. (See reference) Figure 4 The left side wall of the first signal device 1 abuts against the first barrier 420, and the right side wall abuts against the second barrier 430; the left side wall of the second signal device 2 abuts against the second barrier 430, and the right side wall abuts against the third barrier 440. Thus, the clamping and support of the two signal devices are achieved by using three barriers 40.

[0041] Preferably, refer to Figure 4 The signal control box also includes a guide rail 50 mounted on the fixed base 20. The extension direction of the guide rail 50 is consistent with the length direction of the fixed base 20, and the barrier 40 is abutted against the guide rail 50.

[0042] The guide rail 50 provides direction for the installation of multiple barrier components 40, preventing the barrier components 40 from being misaligned during installation.

[0043] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, a fixing plate 30 is provided on the right side of the fixing base 20, and the guide rail 50 extends from the left to the right along the length direction of the fixing base 20, with its end located on one side of the fixing base 20.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, the guide rail 50 is made of aluminum. When the first signal device 1 or the second signal device 2 is placed in the installation space, the bottom of the signal device abuts against the guide rail 50, thereby achieving rapid heat dissipation.

[0045] Preferably, refer to Figure 5 At least one barrier 40 includes a fixing portion 400 extending from opposite side ends of the barrier 40 toward the top surface of the mounting base 20, and a barrier portion 410 extending from the top end of the barrier 40 in a direction away from the mounting base 20. The fixing portion 400 is connected to the mounting base 20 and abuts against the guide rail 50. The barrier portion 410 is configured to restrict the position of the first signal device 1 or the second signal device 2.

[0046] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first barrier 420 and the third barrier 440 have the same structure. The opposite two ends of the first barrier 40 extend toward the top surface of the fixing base 20 to form a fixing part 400, and the top end extends away from the fixing base 20 to form a barrier part 410. The bottom end of the fixing part 400 is connected to the top surface of the fixing base 20, and the inner end abuts against the guide rail 50.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the top of the blocking portion 410 of the first blocking member 420 and the third blocking member 440 are both provided with an extension 450. When the signal equipment is placed in the installation space, the blocking portion 410 and the extension 450 abut against the side wall of the signal equipment to increase the contact area with the signal equipment.

[0048] Preferably, refer to Figures 1 to 3 The signal control box also includes at least two camera modules located inside the box 10. Each camera module includes a connecting plate 60 and a camera device 70 located on the connecting plate 60. The connecting plate 60 is located on one side of the fixing base 20 along the length of the box 10. The lens of the camera device 70 is embedded in the side wall of the box 10 and is configured to capture images outside the box 10.

[0049] The connecting plate 60 enables the installation of the camera device 70; when the mobile robot performs loading or unloading actions, the camera device 70 can record the real-time operation of the mobile robot to ensure the safety of the mobile robot during operation.

[0050] In one specific embodiment, the number of photography modules is four, with two symmetrically arranged on the long side wall of the housing 10 and the other two symmetrically arranged on the short side wall of the housing 10.

[0051] Preferably, refer to Figures 1 to 3 The connecting plate 60 is connected between the upper and lower edges of the housing 10.

[0052] The connecting plate 60 is located between the upper and lower edges, that is, at the edge of the housing 10. This reduces the space occupied inside the housing 10. Furthermore, the connecting plate 60 is close to the side wall of the housing 10, making it easier for the lens of the camera device 70 to be embedded in the side wall without the need for other structures to shorten the distance between the camera device 70 and the side wall.

[0053] Preferably, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The signal control box also includes a network switching device 90 located inside the housing 10 and mounted on the connection plate 60 in the direction close to the camera device 70. The network switching device 90 is configured to provide several network interfaces.

[0054] In one specific embodiment, the network switching device 90 may provide an optical fiber port for connection to the camera device 70, a PoE port for connection to the first signal device 1, an RJ45 port for connection to the second signal device 2, and an extended network port for connection to other sensor devices.

[0055] Preferably, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the signal control box also includes a power supply device 80 located inside the housing 10 and mounted on the connecting plate 60 in the direction close to the camera device 70. The power supply device 80 is configured to supply power to different functional devices.

[0056] By placing the network switching device 90 and the power supply device 80 on the connection plate 60, the space of the connection plate 60 can be fully utilized, thereby improving the utilization rate of the connection plate 60.

[0057] In one specific embodiment, the power supply device 80 can supply power to the network switching device 90, the camera device 70, the first signal device 1, the second signal device 2, and the third signal device 3.

[0058] Preferably, refer to Figures 1 to 3 The box 10 includes a top plate 100 and a number of pads 110 disposed on the upper edge of the box 10. The top plate 100 is disposed on the pads 110 to maintain a preset distance between the top plate 100 and the upper edge of the box 10.

[0059] The enclosure 10 is not closed, and the heat generated inside the enclosure 10 can be dissipated through the gap between the top plate 100 and the upper edge of the enclosure 10.

[0060] Preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, the signal control box also includes several sensing devices 120. One end of the sensing device 120 is located inside the box 10, and the other end passes through the gap between the top plate 100 and the upper edge of the box 10. The sensing device 120 is configured to measure the distance between the mobile robot and the peripheral device.

[0061] The sensing device 120 is placed in the gap between the top plate 100 and the upper edge of the housing 10, which makes full use of the space of the housing 10.

[0062] In one specific embodiment, there are two sensing devices 120, which are symmetrically arranged on the short side wall of the housing 10 near the upper edge of the housing 10. The short side wall of the housing 10 near the upper edge has a groove structure, and the sensing device 120 passes through the gap and abuts against the groove structure.
