Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a control box for a monitoring instrument, belonging to the technical field of control boxes. Background Technology

[0002] In numerous fields such as industrial production, environmental monitoring, and scientific research, the control box of a monitoring instrument serves as a core component, undertaking crucial functions such as data acquisition, processing, transmission, and control of the monitored objects. It ensures the stable operation of the monitoring instrument and guarantees the accuracy and reliability of monitoring data, playing a vital role in real-time monitoring and effective management across various sectors.

[0003] However, existing monitoring instrument control boxes generally suffer from the following problems: Firstly, the existing monitoring instruments are too large in overall size and lack a compact structural design, making them inconvenient for staff to carry and move when mobile monitoring scenarios or field surveys are required, thus limiting their flexibility and convenience. Secondly, the control boxes have low integration levels; displays, keyboards, and other devices are usually placed and connected as external devices for basic operations such as data display and parameter setting. These external devices are placed separately from the control box, and during handling and transfer, they may suffer physical damage due to collisions, squeezing, or drops, leading to equipment malfunctions and affecting the normal operation of monitoring work. Furthermore, when multiple devices are used together, the wiring connections are cumbersome, increasing not only operational complexity but also the difficulty and cost of equipment installation, debugging, and maintenance, making it difficult to meet the needs for efficient and convenient use. Therefore, designing a control box with higher integration levels has become a research focus in the industry. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a control box for a monitoring instrument. This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing control boxes, such as large size and low integration, and to provide a compact, portable, and highly integrated monitoring instrument control box.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A control box for a monitoring instrument includes a chassis housing, inside which a control system is installed; a heat dissipation mechanism is installed inside the chassis housing; a screen mounting slot is provided at the rear end of the chassis housing, and a screen shell is rotatably connected to the upper end of the screen mounting slot via a hinge, with a display screen connected to the control system fixedly connected to the screen shell; a first rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the screen mounting slot, and a first connecting ear is provided on the side of the first rotating shaft, with a connecting rod rotatably connected to the first connecting ear; a second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the rear lower end of the screen shell, and a damping sleeve is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft, with a second connecting ear provided on the side of the damping sleeve, and the second connecting ear rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting rod; a convex block located outside the damping sleeve is fitted on the second rotating shaft; a sliding groove is provided at the lower end of the screen shell, and the sliding groove is slidably connected to the lower convex part of the convex block; a cover is rotatably connected to the lower rear end of the chassis housing, and a keyboard slot is provided on the inner side of the cover, with a keyboard fixedly connected inside the keyboard slot.

[0006] The control box of the aforementioned monitoring instrument has a storage slot in front of the keyboard slot, and a first protective cover is rotatably connected to the front end of the storage slot; elastic limiting posts are provided on both sides of the end of the first protective cover; and insertion holes are provided on both sides of the rear of the storage slot, with the insertion holes cooperating with the elastic limiting posts.

[0007] The control box of the aforementioned monitoring instrument has a recessed part at the upper end of the box body, through which the interface of the control system protrudes; a second protective cover located inside the upper end of the recessed part is rotatably connected to the box body, and the second protective cover has a plurality of first vent holes.

[0008] The control box of the aforementioned monitoring instrument, the control system consists of a motherboard, CPU, memory modules, graphics card and hard drive.

[0009] The control box of the aforementioned monitoring instrument contains a power supply, which is connected to the control system, the display screen, and the heat dissipation mechanism via wiring.

[0010] The aforementioned monitoring instrument's control box includes a cooling mechanism comprising multiple second vents located on the left and right sides, front and bottom of the chassis, a water-cooled radiator located on the right side inside the chassis, and a fan located on the front side inside the chassis. The air intake of the water-cooled radiator corresponds to the second vent on the right side. The heat dissipation end of the water-cooled radiator is connected to the CPU. The air exhaust end of the fan corresponds to the second vent on the front side. The air intake of the graphics card corresponds to the second vent on the left and right sides.

[0011] The control box of the aforementioned monitoring instrument has multiple feet at the bottom of the chassis; the outer side of the first protective cover has an anti-collision silicone strip.

[0012] The control box of the aforementioned monitoring instrument has handrail grooves on both sides of the box body.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following advantages: When using this utility model, the chassis is moved next to the detector for control. The cover is flipped to change from a vertical to a horizontal position. Then, the lower end of the screen is manually flipped outwards to a suitable angle. During the screen opening process, due to the change in the relative position and angle between the first and second rotating shafts, the end of the connecting rod connected to the second rotating shaft tilts outwards, causing the first rotating shaft to rotate within the screen mounting groove and the damping sleeve to rotate around the second rotating shaft. Simultaneously, the convex block slides along the sliding groove, limiting the maximum opening angle of the screen. When the screen is opened to the corresponding angle, the damping force generated by the damping sleeve hinders the sliding of the convex block, keeping the screen stably fixed at the current angle. The operator controls the control system via a keyboard placed in the keyboard slot beforehand, and the control content is displayed on the screen. A heat dissipation mechanism cools the control system, preventing excessive internal temperature from damaging components. The rotating connection structure between the screen slot and the screen housing allows the display screen to be folded and stored inside the chassis. Combined with the keyboard slot inside the chassis cover, this improves integration. During transport, the screen housing and keyboard can be stored inside the chassis, reducing the volume occupied by the equipment and also reducing the risk of bumps and knocks when the equipment is scattered.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0022] Example: A control box for a monitoring instrument, configured as follows Figure 1-6 As shown, the system includes a chassis 1 made of industrial-grade aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and high-strength, balancing heat dissipation and impact resistance. A control system 2 is housed inside the chassis 1. A heat dissipation mechanism 3 is also located inside the chassis 1. A screen mounting slot 4 is located at the rear end of the chassis 1, and a screen housing 5 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the slot 4 via a hinge. A display screen 6, connected to the control system 2, is fixedly connected to the screen housing 5. Figure 4 As shown, a first rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected inside the screen mounting slot 4. A first connecting ear 8 is provided on the side of the first rotating shaft 7, and a connecting rod 9 is rotatably connected to the first connecting ear 8. A second rotating shaft 26 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the lower end of the screen housing 5. A damping sleeve 27 is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 26. A second connecting ear 28 is provided on the side of the damping sleeve 27, and the second connecting ear 28 is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting rod 9. A convex block 29 located outside the damping sleeve 27 is fitted onto the second rotating shaft 26. Figure 5As shown, the lower end of the screen housing 5 is provided with a sliding groove 30, which is slidably connected to the lower protrusion of the convex block 29; a cover 10 is rotatably connected to the lower rear end of the chassis 1, and a keyboard slot 11 is provided on the inner side of the cover 10, with a keyboard 31 fixedly connected inside the keyboard slot 11. A storage slot 12 is provided in front of the keyboard slot 11, and a first protective cover 13 is rotatably connected to the front end of the storage slot 12. Elastic limiting posts 14 are provided on both sides of the end of the first protective cover 13. Further, the elastic limiting posts 14 adopt a spring steel core and silicone outer casing structure; insertion holes 15 are provided on both sides of the rear of the storage slot 12, and the insertion holes 15 cooperate with the elastic limiting posts 14. When the outer end of the elastic limiting post 14 contacts the cover 10, it will retract due to the contact until it is aligned with the insertion hole 15, and then reset under its own elastic force, thereby inserting into the insertion hole 15, ensuring that the protective cover automatically locks during transportation. The edges of the insertion hole 15 and the outer ends of the elastic limiting post 14 are rounded to prevent wear and deformation caused by long-term insertion and removal. The rotating connection structure between the screen slot 4 and the screen housing 5 allows the display screen 6 to be folded and stored in the chassis. Combined with the keyboard slot 11 on the inside of the cover 10, the integration is improved. During transportation, the screen housing 5 and keyboard can be stored in the chassis 1, reducing the risk of bumps and knocks when the equipment is placed separately.

[0023] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the upper end of the chassis 1 has a recess 16, through which the connector of the control system 2 protrudes. A second protective cover 17 is rotatably connected to the chassis 1, located inside the upper end of the recess 16. The second protective cover 17 has multiple first ventilation holes 18. The recess 16 positions the connector of the control system 2 above the chassis 1, facilitating the connection of external wiring.

[0024] Preferably, the control system 2 consists of a motherboard, CPU, memory modules, graphics card, and hard disk.

[0025] Preferably, such as Figure 6 As shown, the chassis 1 is equipped with a power supply 19. The power supply 19 is connected to the control system 2, the display screen 6 and the heat dissipation mechanism 3 via lines. The power supply 19 is connected to the power supply 19 inlet on the recessed part 16 via the power supply 19 line, and then the power supply 19 supplies power to each component.

[0026] Preferably, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the heat dissipation mechanism 3 includes multiple second vents 20 located on the left and right sides, front and bottom of the chassis 1, a water-cooled radiator located on the right side inside the chassis 1, and a fan located on the front side inside the chassis 1. The air intake end of the water-cooled radiator corresponds to the second vent 20 on the right side; the heat dissipation end of the water-cooled radiator is connected to the CPU; the air exhaust end of the fan corresponds to the second vent 20 on the front side; and the air intake end of the graphics card corresponds to the second vent 20 on the left and right sides. Air flows in through the second vents 20 on both sides of the chassis 1, cooling the water-cooled radiator and the graphics card. The generated hot air is guided by the fan and exhausted through the second vent 20 on the bottom side.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the chassis 1 has multiple feet 23 at the bottom, which are made of nitrile rubber to prevent the chassis from sliding on the flat surface; the outer side of the first protective cover 13 is provided with an anti-collision silicone strip 24, which is used to prevent the cover 10 from colliding with the desktop during the lowering process and causing damage.

[0028] Preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, the two sides of the chassis 1 are respectively provided with armrest grooves 25, which facilitate gripping during handling.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] When control of the detector is required, the chassis 1 is moved to the side of the detector via the handle groove 25. First, the cover 10 is flipped over to change its vertical position to a horizontal position. At this time, the keyboard in the keyboard groove 11 inside the cover 10 is in a horizontal and operable position. Next, the screen 5 is flipped outward from the screen mounting groove 4 at the rear of the chassis 1 by hand and adjusted to a suitable angle for the operator's observation. During the opening of the screen 5, due to the change in the relative position and angle between the first rotating shaft 7 and the second rotating shaft 26, the end of the connecting rod 9 connected to the second rotating shaft 26 tilts outward, causing the first rotating shaft 7 to rotate within the screen mounting groove 4 and the damping sleeve 27 to rotate around the second rotating shaft 26. At the same time, the convex block 29 slides along the sliding groove 30, limiting the maximum opening angle of the screen 5. When the screen 5 is opened to the corresponding angle, the damping force generated by the damping sleeve 27 prevents the convex block 29 from sliding, keeping the screen 5 stably fixed at the current angle. The operator issues operating commands to the control system 2 via the keyboard 31 located in the keyboard slot 11. The information processed by the control system 2 is displayed in real time on the display screen 6. During equipment operation, the heat dissipation mechanism 3 works simultaneously: the second ventilation holes 20 on the left and right sides, front and bottom of the chassis 1, together with the water-cooled fan on the right side and the air-cooled fan 22 on the front, form an air circulation channel. The heat dissipation end of the water-cooled fan is connected to the CPU to remove core heat, and the air-cooled fan 22 blows air to the graphics card area, together dissipating heat from the control system 2, preventing its internal temperature from becoming too high and causing damage to components, and ensuring stable equipment operation.
