Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of PLC controllers, and more specifically, to a PLC controller for automated equipment. Background Technology
[0002] A PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) is a digital electronic system specifically designed for industrial applications. It uses a programmable memory to store instructions for performing logical operations, sequential control, timing, counting, and arithmetic operations, controlling various types of machinery or production processes through digital or analog inputs and outputs.
[0003] Traditional PLC controllers are fixed with bolts. The PLC controller has mounting holes for the bolts to pass through. However, the position of the mounting holes for the bolts is fixed in traditional PLC controllers, which makes the PLC controller inconvenient to install flexibly and reduces its practicality. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this application provides a PLC controller for automated equipment, which aims to improve the problems of inconvenient and inflexible installation and low practicality.
[0005] This application provides a PLC controller for automated equipment, including a controller.
[0006] The controller has a fixing plate on its side wall. The fixing plate has a sliding groove and a number of threaded holes. The threaded holes are evenly arranged. A fixing block is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. The fixing block has a fixing hole. A screw is inserted through the fixing block and its head abuts against the fixing block. The screw is corresponding to one of the threaded holes. The screw is threaded into one of the threaded holes.
[0007] In one specific implementation, the controller is provided with fixing plates on both sides, the two fixing plates are symmetrical, and the two fixing plates are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the controller.
[0008] In one specific implementation, both of the fixed plates are provided with the sliding grooves, the two sliding grooves are symmetrically arranged, both sliding grooves are located at the center of the fixed plates, and the fixed blocks are slidably connected inside the two sliding grooves.
[0009] In one specific implementation, both of the fixing plates are provided with threaded holes, and each plate has a plurality of threaded holes, which are evenly arranged on one side of the slide groove.
[0010] In one specific implementation, connecting grooves are provided on both sides of the two fixing blocks, and both connecting grooves are slidably engaged with the plate body of the fixing plate.
[0011] In one specific implementation, the fixing holes are provided at the center of both fixing blocks, and the two fixing holes are arranged symmetrically.
[0012] In one specific implementation, both of the fixing blocks have through holes, and the screws rotatably pass through the interior of each through hole.

[0014] Beneficial effects: This application provides a PLC controller for automated equipment. In use, the bolts for mounting and fixing the controller are passed through the inside of the fixing holes, and then the bolt threads can be inserted into the reserved threaded mounting holes of the controller. The bolts press and fix the fixing block, thereby fixing the fixing plate and then installing and fixing the controller. When flexible installation of the controller is required, the screws can be removed, and then the fixing block can be moved along the slide to the required position. Then the screws can be reinstalled, and the screws fix the fixing block again, thereby installing and fixing the controller. The position of the fixing block can be adjusted as needed, thus allowing for more flexible installation of the controller, making it highly practical. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a PLC controller for automated equipment, including a controller 100.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 The controller 100 has a fixing plate 110 on its side wall. The two fixing plates 110 are symmetrical and fixedly connected to the two sides of the controller 100. The fixing plate 110 has a sliding groove 111 on its body. The sliding groove 111 is located at the center of the fixing plate 110. The two fixing plates 110 have a sliding groove 111 on their bodies. The two sliding grooves 111 are symmetrically arranged and both are located at the center of the fixing plate 110.
[0025] In a specific configuration, the plate body of the fixing plate 110 is provided with threaded holes 112, which penetrate through the plate body of the fixing plate 110. Several threaded holes 112 are provided and are evenly arranged. Both plates of the fixing plate 110 are provided with threaded holes 112, and several threaded holes 112 are provided and are evenly arranged on one side of the slide groove 111.
[0026] In this application, a fixing block 120 is slidably connected inside the slide groove 111. The fixing block 120 slides through the inside of the slide groove 111. Fixing blocks 120 are slidably connected inside both slide grooves 111. Connecting grooves 122 are opened on both sides of the two fixing blocks 120. The two connecting grooves 122 are slidably locked onto the plate body of the fixing plate 110. Fixing holes 121 are opened in the block body of the fixing block 120. Fixing holes 121 are opened in the center of both fixing blocks 120. The fixing holes 121 penetrate through the block body of the fixing block 120. The two fixing holes 121 are symmetrically arranged.
[0027] In this embodiment, the block body of the fixing block 120 is rotatably penetrated by the screw 130, and the screw 130 can also slide through the block body of the fixing block 120. Both fixing blocks 120 are provided with through holes 123, and the screw 130 is rotatably penetrated inside the through holes 123. The screw 130 can also slide through the inside of the through holes 123. The head of the screw 130 abuts against the fixing block 120. The screw 130 is correspondingly provided with several threaded holes 112, and the screw 130 is threaded into the inside of one of the threaded holes 112.
[0028] In a specific implementation, two through holes 123 are provided, and the two through holes 123 are symmetrically arranged. A screw 130 is rotatably inserted into the interior of each of the two through holes 123. The two screws 130 are respectively threaded into the interior of two of the threaded holes 112. The side of the fixing block 120 away from the through hole 123 is flush with the back of the controller 100.
[0029] Specifically, the working principle of the PLC controller used in automation equipment is as follows: During use, screw 130 is threaded into the threaded hole 112, and the head of screw 130 abuts against the fixing block 120, thereby limiting and fixing the fixing block 120 onto the fixing plate 110, preventing displacement or slippage. Then, the controller 100 can be installed and fixed. The bolt for installing and fixing the controller 100 passes through the fixing hole 121 and is then threaded into the pre-drilled threaded mounting hole of the controller 100. The head of the bolt presses against the fixing block 120, thereby fixing the fixing plate 110 and ultimately the controller. When installing and fixing the controller 100, if flexible installation is required, all screws 130 can be removed and pulled out of the threaded hole 112. Then, the fixing block 120 can be moved along the slide groove 111 to the required position. Then, the screws 130 can be reinstalled, with the screws 130 re-entering the through hole 123 and re-threaded into the threaded hole 112. The fixing block 120 can then be fixed, and the controller 100 can be installed and fixed. The position of the fixing block 120 can be adjusted as needed, allowing for more flexible installation of the controller 100, making it highly practical.
