Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of switch quantity acquisition, and in particular to switch quantity acquisition terminals. Background Technology

[0002] A switch signal acquisition terminal is a device used to acquire and process switch signals, primarily used in industrial automation and the Internet of Things (IoT). Switch signals typically represent "on" and "off" states, similar to a light switch. They can be categorized into active and passive switch signals. The main function of a switch signal acquisition terminal is to acquire and process various switch signals, such as motor switches and valve switches. It converts these switch signals into digital signals through sensors, controllers, and actuators, and then stores and processes them. Switch signal acquisition terminals typically communicate with host computers or cloud programs via RS485 / RS232 / 4G, supporting Modbus RTU protocols and wireless RS485 pass-through functions. These functions enable the terminal to flexibly form local networks and transmit data, supporting wireless communication across multiple frequency bands, further enhancing its flexibility and convenience in practical applications. In conventional switch signal acquisition terminals, connectors are installed at both ends of the terminal body. These connectors are connected to the device to be managed via connecting cables, allowing the terminal body to acquire and manage the device's switch signals.

[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that conventional switch quantity acquisition terminals are easily affected by humid air when installed in basements or high-humidity environments, especially during spring, autumn, and rainy seasons when high humidity and frequent temperature changes can easily lead to condensation. This can cause moisture to get into the connectors and connecting cables of the switch quantity acquisition terminal, resulting in signal deviations or even short circuits.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background technology of this application, and therefore may include prior art that is not known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

The two connecting brackets and the two shielding brackets are symmetrically distributed about the acquisition terminal body and the connecting brackets, respectively.

[0008] Preferably, a first spring is fixedly installed between the two control blocks, and one end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting frame.

[0014] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -4 provides further details regarding this application.

[0023] This application discloses a switch quantity acquisition terminal, referring to... Figure 1 - Figure 2 The system includes a data acquisition terminal body 1. During use, connectors 2 are installed at both ends of the data acquisition terminal body 1. The connectors 2 are connected to the devices to be managed via connecting cables. The data acquisition terminal body 1 collects and manages the switch signals of the devices. A connecting frame 3 is installed on the surface of the connector 2. Two shielding frames 4 are rotatably connected to the surface of the connecting frame 3. A control block 5 is installed at one end of the shielding frame 4. The shielding frame 4 shields the connection position between the connector 2 and the connecting cable. The control block 5 can be used to rotate the shielding frame 4 to facilitate the installation and removal of the connecting cable. This effectively improves the moisture resistance of the switch signal acquisition terminal and prevents external moisture from affecting the position of the connector 2.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 A first spring 6 is installed between the two control blocks 5. The first spring 6 pushes the control blocks 5 to keep the shielding frame 4 in contact with the surface of the connector 2, thereby ensuring the shielding effect between the connector 2 and the connecting line. The inner walls of the two shielding frames 4 are equipped with rubber fixing frames 7. The inner walls of the fixing frames 7 are provided with several connecting grooves 8. The fixing frames 7 improve the sealing between the shielding frame 4 and the connecting line. The inner wall of the connector 3 is threaded with fixing bolts 9.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 - Figure 4 A fixing block 10 is installed at the bottom of the connecting frame 3. The inner wall of the fixing block 10 has several limiting slots 11. The fixing block 10, together with the fixing frame 7, improves the shielding effect on the connecting wire and avoids the problem of the connecting wire being damaged by the mutual squeezing of the shielding frame 4 and the acquisition terminal body 1. Two adjusting sliders 13 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 10. A limiting frame 12 is installed between the two adjusting sliders 13. After the adjusting slider 13 moves on the inner wall of the fixing block 10, the limiting frame 12 can be used to fix the longer connecting wire, thereby avoiding the connecting wire from being scattered or even knotted, which would affect the use of the acquisition terminal body 1. A second spring 14 is installed on the top of the adjusting slider 13. The top of the second spring 14 is connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 10. The second spring 14 pulls the adjusting slider 13, thereby keeping the connecting wire connected to the surface of the fixing block 10 by the limiting frame 12, ensuring the limiting effect on the connecting wire.

[0026] The implementation principle of the switch quantity acquisition terminal in this application embodiment is as follows: A connecting frame 3 is installed on the surface of the connector 2. Two shielding frames 4 are rotatably connected to the surface of the connecting frame 3. A control block 5 is installed at one end of each shielding frame 4 to shield the connection position between the connector 2 and the connecting cable. Rotating the shielding frame 4 via the control block 5 facilitates the installation and removal of the connecting cable, preventing external moisture from affecting the position of the connector 2. A first spring 6 is installed between the two control blocks 5 to push the control block 5, thus moving the shielding frame. 4. Maintain contact with the surface of connector 2 to ensure the shielding effect between connector 2 and connecting line. Both shielding frames 4 are equipped with rubber fixing frames 7 on their inner walls. The inner walls of the fixing frames 7 are provided with several connecting grooves 8 to improve the sealing between the shielding frame 4 and the connecting line. The inner wall of the connecting frame 3 is threaded with fixing bolts 9. The surface of the fixing bolts 9 is threaded with the inner wall of the acquisition terminal body 1 to facilitate the installation of the connecting frame 3 on the surface of the acquisition terminal body 1. The device can be easily disassembled after the fixing bolts 9 are removed.

[0027] A fixing block 10 can also be installed at the bottom of the connecting frame 3. The inner wall of the fixing block 10 has several limiting slots 11, so that the fixing block 10 can work with the fixing frame 7 to improve the shielding effect on the connecting line and avoid the problem of the connecting line being damaged by the mutual squeezing of the shielding frame 4 and the acquisition terminal body 1. Two adjusting sliders 13 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 10. A limiting frame 12 is installed between the two adjusting sliders 13, so that after the adjusting slider 13 moves on the inner wall of the fixing block 10, the limiting frame 12 can be used to fix the longer connecting line, thereby avoiding the connecting line from being scattered or even knotted, which would affect the use of the acquisition terminal body 1. A second spring 14 is installed on the top of the adjusting slider 13. The top of the second spring 14 is connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 10, so that the adjusting slider 13 can be pulled by the second spring 14, thereby keeping the connecting line connected to the surface of the fixing block 10 by the limiting frame 12, ensuring the limiting effect on the connecting line.
