Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model proposes a modular intelligent enclosure that can be quickly installed, expanded, and upgraded on-site, relating to the field of modular enclosure technology. Background Technology

[0002] In vehicle-road cooperative systems, roadside edge computing units typically provide computing power for global traffic analysis. Their installation locations are mainly within roadside smart enclosures. Different intersections have different computing power configurations, requiring varying numbers of edge computing units. With technological advancements, there is a growing need to expand computing power at future intersections. Current smart enclosures have fixed capacities; expanding computing power necessitates replacing them with larger enclosures, requiring network and power outages, disassembly, and reinstallation. This process is cumbersome and costly in terms of product installation, maintenance, expansion, upgrades, and replacements.

[0003] Existing roadside smart lockers are usually a single unit. If upgrade space was reserved in the initial design, the size of the locker would be increased in the early stages. Without expansion, the internal space would be wasted, resulting in an increase in the size and weight of the locker, which would affect the cost and aesthetics.

[0004] If there is no room for upgrades, the equipment cannot be expanded. If there are new requirements, the only option is to remove and replace the cabinet, which is too costly. Utility Model Content

[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the modular smart box in Embodiment 1. The modular smart box includes: a basic module, a first expansion module, a second expansion module, and a quick-installation structure.

[0027] The basic module, the first expansion module, and the second expansion module constitute the smallest working unit housing of this utility model.

[0028] A quick-installation structure is provided between the basic module and the expansion module. The expansion module can be quickly installed on the basic module through the quick-installation structure to achieve rapid expansion of functions.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the expansion module includes, but is not limited to, a first expansion module and a second expansion module, and there can be multiple expansion modules.

[0030] Multiple expansion modules are connected by a quick-installation structure, allowing them to be spliced ​​together to form diverse enclosure structures that meet functional requirements in different scenarios. These requirements include the necessary computing power, interfaces, storage, and auxiliary functions, and these factors determine the number of expansion modules configured in the smart enclosure.

[0031] It should be noted that the basic module provides the most basic computing capabilities, including: communication interface, power supply unit, environmental monitoring unit, and operation unit.

[0032] Extension modules are used to add extended functionality to the base module, including:

[0033] (1) Improve computing power to handle more complex perception tasks, event detection, etc.

[0034] (2) Interface expansion to connect more roadside devices, including cameras or radar.

[0035] (3) Provide local data caching.

[0036] (4) Set up specific functional modules to integrate an environmental sensor, a dedicated encryption module or a small AI accelerator card.

[0037] like Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic of the quick-installation structure. The quick-installation structure includes a first quick-installation component, a second quick-installation component, and a locking component.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the locking components include: a guide structure, a locking hole, a locking screw, a pin, and an embedded slide bar.

[0039] When the expansion module is installed on the base module via the quick-installation structure, the first quick-installation structure component is installed on the expansion module, and the second quick-installation structure component is installed on the base module; the first quick-installation structure component and the second quick-installation structure component cooperate with each other to achieve a quick connection between the expansion module and the base module.

[0040] When multiple expansion modules are spliced ​​together using a quick-installation structure, the first quick-installation component and the second quick-installation component are respectively installed on the two expansion modules that need to be spliced; the first quick-installation component and the second quick-installation component cooperate with each other to achieve a quick connection between multiple expansion modules.

[0041] When the base module is installed on the field fixing device via the quick-installation structure, the first quick-installation structural component is installed on the field fixing device, and the second quick-installation structural component is installed on the base module; the first quick-installation structural component and the second quick-installation structural component cooperate with each other to achieve quick fixing of the base module on the field fixing device.

[0042] The first and second quick-release structural components are made of high-strength and corrosion-resistant materials to ensure stability and durability under various environmental conditions.

[0043] The first quick-assembly structural component is a long strip-shaped member with a groove-shaped interior containing multiple pins evenly spaced inside.

[0044] The second quick-release structural component is also a long strip-shaped component. The first quick-release structural component can be fastened to the second quick-release structural component. The second quick-release structural component also includes a main frame, which is used to support the embedded sliding strip and realize the guiding function.

[0045] The second quick-release structure component is provided with a guide structure and a locking hole. The guide structure can guide the pin of the first quick-release structure component to be accurately aligned during installation, avoiding installation deviation. The locking hole is used to form a locking connection with the pin of the first quick-release structure component.

[0046] The guide structure of the second quick-release structural component can be designed as a long strip structure with a groove or guide ramp. The groove or ramp can provide a clear guide path for the insertion of the pin of the first quick-release structural component, and a locking hole is provided at a specific position of the groove or ramp.

[0047] The design of the first and second quick-installation structural components fully considers the needs of the modular intelligent enclosure in different application scenarios. Whether it is the rapid addition of a single expansion module, the stacked installation of multiple expansion modules, or the connection between the basic module and the field fixing device, efficient operation can be achieved through this quick-installation structure.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] The installation process includes the following steps:

[0050] Step 1: Install the first quick-release structural component and the second quick-release structural component into their respective modules. Then, precisely align the pin of the first quick-release structural component with the guide structure of the second quick-release structural component, and assemble the pin into the interior of the guide structure to form a preliminary positioning.

[0051] The second step, after assembly, involves tightening the screws on the second quick-release structure component to move the central embedded slide bar to the left. This embedded slide bar has a locking hole that mates with the pin, reliably locking the pin of the first quick-release structure component during movement, thus achieving a locking mechanism and completing the quick-release function, maintaining its position as described above. Figure 4 The locked state is shown.

[0052] When disassembly is required, perform the reverse operation: loosen the screws, move the embedded slide bar to the right, release the locking state of the pin of the first quick-release structure component, and then the first quick-release structure component can be separated from the second quick-release structure component.

[0053] Furthermore, the pin inside the first quick-release structure component and the guide structure of the second quick-release structure component...

[0054] The screws are designed to fit each other in shape and size, ensuring precise alignment and stable insertion. The screws move via a rotating mechanism that drives an embedded slider; this design requires no special tools and is easy to operate.

[0055] Preferably, the guide structure, locking hole, and pin constitute a locking mechanism. A locking mechanism can be set at each of the left and right ends and the middle of the quick-installation structure to ensure the symmetry and balance of the connection and avoid uneven force distribution.

[0056] Preferably, the basic module and each expansion module are provided with waterproof rubber rings around their perimeter to enhance waterproofing capabilities.

[0057] This utility model's modular intelligent enclosure, through its quick-installation structure, not only enables rapid assembly and disassembly of its components but also ensures stability after connection, effectively withstanding external forces such as vibration and impact during use. Its rational design significantly improves on-site installation efficiency, meets the needs of rapid expansion and flexible adjustment of the modular intelligent enclosure in different scenarios, and enhances the practicality and reliability of the enclosure structure.

[0058] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
