Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of simulation operation equipment, and more specifically, to a simulation operation terminal. Background Technology

[0002] In commercially available analog operation terminals, the operation panel is generally installed on the upper platform. The operation panel integrates control elements such as buttons and levers. Currently, the lower part of the control elements on most operation panels is located inside the platform, and the wires connecting the lower part of the control elements are routed inside the platform and connected to the host device below, making the layout of the platform surface and operation panel aesthetically pleasing and neat.

[0003] In such terminals, when the control elements on the control panel malfunction, the connection lines of the control elements need to be inspected and maintained. At this time, the entire control panel needs to be removed from the platform surface. During the process, the wires on the back of the control panel are easily pulled and desoldered or even broken. Moreover, during the reinstallation of the control panel, due to the change in the routing of the wires below, some control panels are difficult to install. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a simulation operation terminal to solve the problem of inconvenient maintenance of the control elements on the terminal operation panel.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] A simulated operation terminal, comprising:

[0007] The platform has an operation panel on its upper surface and a maintenance passage on its lower surface, the maintenance passage extending upwards to the bottom of the operation panel; and

[0008] The cabinet has a platform supported on it, and a maintenance work area is recessed on the front of the cabinet and located below the maintenance passage.

[0009] In the analog operation terminal of this utility model, a maintenance channel is reserved inside the platform of the operation panel. The front of the cabinet below the maintenance channel is designed with a maintenance work area. When it is necessary to inspect and maintain the control elements of the operation panel, one can simply walk from bottom to top through the maintenance channel in the maintenance work area to access the lower part of the control elements on the back of the operation panel, which greatly improves the convenience of maintenance.

[0010] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows:

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a set of slides located below the operation panel. The slides are horizontally slidable within the platform so that they can slide away from the maintenance channel. During maintenance, the slides can slide out of the maintenance channel without interfering with the maintenance.

[0012] Furthermore, the platform is also provided with a limiting member that acts on the slide to prevent the slide from leaving the platform.

[0013] Furthermore, the limiting member is a foldable / extendable connector that connects the platform and the slide, allowing the slide to slide freely within the limiting stroke.

[0014] Furthermore, in a top-down view, the area of ​​the maintenance passage is not less than the area enclosed by all the control elements on the operation panel at the same viewpoint; during maintenance, the lower parts of all control elements are exposed in the maintenance passage for easy maintenance.

[0015] Furthermore, the upper surface of the slide is recessed to provide a keyboard placement area, allowing the keyboard to be pulled out from the platform when in use and pushed back into the platform when not in use.

[0016] Furthermore, the upper end of the cabinet has a horizontal folded edge, and the lower end of the platform is locked to the folded edge by several fasteners, making it convenient to assemble and disassemble the platform and the cabinet.

[0017] Furthermore, one of the folded edge and the lower end face of the platform has multiple positioning holes, and the other has multiple positioning protrusions that correspond one-to-one with the multiple positioning holes, which facilitates the assembly and positioning of the platform and cabinet before the fasteners are tightened.

[0018] Furthermore, the positioning hole is an elongated hole, and the end of the positioning protrusion is formed with a bent portion along the length direction of the elongated hole so that the bent portion can hook onto the back of the elongated hole. After positioning, the bent portion can achieve preliminary fixation of the platform and the cabinet, and during the fastener installation process, the platform and the cabinet are less likely to be misaligned.

[0019] Furthermore, the back of the cabinet is provided with an opening that communicates with the interior of the cabinet. A cover plate is detachably provided on the opening, so that the main unit, power supply and electrical control box and other equipment can be placed inside the cabinet and installed and maintained through the opening.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The principles and features of this utility model are described below. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a simulation operation terminal, including a platform 10 and a cabinet 12. The platform 10 provides a direct operating environment for the user, while the cabinet 12 is used to fix and support the platform 10.

[0029] Among them, reference Figure 1 The operation panel 100 is provided with several control elements 101 for direct operation, such as buttons and levers. The aforementioned control elements 101 are connected to the corresponding control equipment through wires. The wires (not shown) connecting the control elements 101 are located on one side of the back of the operation panel 100. When the operation panel 100 is installed, the wires are located inside the platform 10.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 3 An inspection channel 130 is provided inside the platform 10 below the control panel 100. The inspection channel 130 extends upward to the bottom of the control panel 100, exposing the bottom of the control element 101 and the wires in the inspection channel 130. An inspection port 13 is formed at the bottom of the platform 10 below the inspection channel 130, and a maintenance work area 120 is recessed on the front of the cabinet 12 and located below the inspection channel 130.

[0031] When maintenance is required on the control element 101 on the control panel 100, the operator can access the lower part of the control element 101 on the back of the control panel 100 by simply walking from bottom to top through the maintenance channel 130 in the maintenance work area 120, without having to remove the entire control panel 100, which greatly improves the convenience of maintenance.

[0032] In this article, the definition of the front of the cabinet 12 is determined according to the state of the simulation operation terminal of this utility model when it is in use. That is, when the simulation operation terminal is in use, the side of the cabinet 12 facing the operator is the front of the cabinet 12. The back of the cabinet 12 mentioned later refers to the side opposite to the aforementioned front. That is, the back of the cabinet 12 should be understood as the side away from the operator when in use.

[0033] Optionally, for platform 10, in addition to setting up operation panel 100 and control element 101, human-computer interaction devices such as display, keyboard and mouse can also be provided on platform 10 as needed to enrich the functions of the simulation operation terminal and enhance the user experience.

[0034] In one implementation, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The platform 10 is also equipped with a slide 14, which is located below the operation panel 100 and can be horizontally slidably installed in the platform 10. When in use, the slide 14 can slide out from the platform 10, and when not in use, the slide 14 can slide in and be stored in the platform 10.

[0035] The slide 14 is used to place human-computer interaction devices such as laptops, keyboards, and mice. For example, the upper surface of the slide 14 is recessed to provide a keyboard placement area 140 for placing a keyboard. When the slide 14 slides into the platform 10, it will block the maintenance channel 130 and interfere with maintenance. Therefore, when the control element 101 is being maintained, the slide 14 should slide out of the maintenance channel 130, that is, the slide 14 should be pulled out of the platform 10.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 For example, both sides of the slide table 14 are connected to the internal frame of the platform 10 via retractable slide rails 142, and a handle is also provided on the front of the slide table 14 for easy opening and closing.

[0037] When in use, the slide table 14 is pulled out from the platform 10. To prevent the slide table 14 from impacting and damaging the slide rail 142 or detaching from the platform 10 during the sliding process, a limiting member 141 acting on the slide table 14 is also provided in the platform 10.

[0038] It is easy to understand that, in one embodiment, the limiting member 141 may be a protrusion structure provided on the maximum sliding stroke of the slide table 14.

[0039] You can also refer to Figure 2 The limiting member 141 can also be a foldable / extendable connector that connects the platform 10 and the slide 14. The foldable connector refers to a connector in which any two adjacent segments are hinged to each other, with one end of the connector hinged to the slide 14 and the other end of the connector hinged to the platform 10. The extendable connector refers to a connector in which any two adjacent segments are slidably connected, with one end of the connector fixedly or hinged to the slide 14 and the other end of the connector fixedly or hinged to the platform 10.

[0040] It is easy to understand that, in a top-down view, the area of ​​the maintenance passage 130 is not less than the area enclosed by all the control elements 101 on the control panel 100 at the same viewing angle. Specifically, referring to... Figure 1 Since all control elements 101 on the control panel 100 are located within the control area 100a, the area of ​​the maintenance passage 130 should be equal to or greater than the area of ​​the control area 100a when viewed from above. Therefore, during maintenance, the backs of all control elements 101 are exposed within the maintenance passage 130 for easy maintenance.

[0041] Reference Figures 4 to 6 To facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the cabinet 12 and the platform 10, the upper end of the cabinet 12 has a horizontal folded edge 122, and the lower end of the platform 10 is locked to the folded edge 122 by several fasteners.

[0042] On the lower end face of the flange 122 and the platform 10, one of them has a plurality of positioning holes 123, and the other has a plurality of positioning protrusions 15 corresponding one-to-one with the plurality of positioning holes 123. Before the fasteners are tightened, it is convenient to assemble and position the platform 10 and the cabinet 12. That is, the positions of the positioning holes 123 and the positioning protrusions 15 on the flange 122 and the platform 10 are interchangeable.

[0043] For example, refer to Figures 4 to 6 The positioning hole 123 is provided on the cabinet 12, while the positioning protrusion 15 is provided at the lower end of the platform 10.

[0044] Among them, reference Figure 5 and Figure 6In one embodiment, the positioning hole 123 is an elongated hole, and the end of the positioning protrusion 15 is formed with a bent portion 150 along the length direction of the positioning hole 123. During assembly, the platform 10 is first supported on the cabinet 12, so that the positioning protrusion 15 is inserted into the positioning hole 123. Then, the platform 10 is pushed along the length direction of the positioning hole 123, so that the bent portion 150 is hooked on the back of the positioning hole 123, thereby achieving the positioning and initial fixing effect between the platform 10 and the cabinet 12, making it less likely for misalignment to occur between the platform 10 and the cabinet 12. Then, the two are locked together by fastening screws / bolts.

[0045] The cabinet 12 is assembled from sheet metal. In addition to the supporting platform 10, it also houses the main unit, power supply and electrical control box and other equipment. An opening is provided on the back of the cabinet 12, which serves as the equipment access and maintenance passage inside the cabinet 12. A cover plate 121 is detachably installed on the opening.
