Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial control computer technology, and in particular to an industrial control computer that is easy to connect and wire. Background Technology
[0002] Industrial control computers are computer devices specifically designed for industrial environments. They possess high stability, strong anti-interference capabilities, and environmental adaptability, making them core equipment in fields such as industrial automation, process control, and equipment monitoring.
[0003] During the construction, debugging, and maintenance of industrial control systems, industrial PCs need to establish a large number of physical cable connections with field sensors, actuators, other controllers, network devices, and power supplies. However, in actual applications, existing traditional industrial PCs often cannot smoothly align and plug in wire harnesses in complex industrial equipment installation environments due to the narrow internal space, compact structure, or limited layout of some equipment. Or, due to the difficult installation angle, the interface visibility is poor, and the operating tools are difficult to use, resulting in the inability to accurately insert or securely lock the wire harnesses. This greatly reduces maintenance efficiency, increases the risk of misoperation, and the working efficiency of the industrial PC cannot be guaranteed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an industrial control computer that is easy to connect and wire.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An industrial control computer that is easy to connect and wire includes a body, an interface compartment electrically connected to one side of the body, and support plates rotatably mounted on both sides of the interface compartment. The support plates slide in a limiting groove opened on the outer wall of the body through a slider.
[0007] The two ends of the interface compartment are rotatably connected to the support plate via a support shaft, and a torsion spring is installed at the rotatable connection between the support shaft and the support plate. In its natural state, the torsion spring maintains the interface compartment in a horizontal position without external interference through the pre-tightening torque.
[0008] The support plate has a slot in the middle, and a locking plate is installed in the slot by means of a pin. The locking plate has a snap-fit block on the side facing the machine body to snap into the limiting slot in the middle of the limiting slot.
[0009] In addition, a preferred structure is that multiple limiting grooves are symmetrically opened on both sides of the outer wall of the body, and the limiting grooves are used for sliding cooperation with the slider.
[0010] In addition, a preferred structure is that multiple limiting slots are horizontally arrayed between adjacent limiting slots, and the limiting slots engage with the locking blocks.
[0011] Furthermore, in a preferred configuration, the body and the interface compartment are electrically connected via a ribbon cable, which spans between the body and the interface compartment to enable bidirectional electrical transmission.
[0012] Furthermore, in a preferred configuration, sliders are provided on the upper and lower parts of the inner side of the support plate.
[0013] Furthermore, in a preferred configuration, a pin is provided in the middle of the locking plate and is rotatably assembled with the support plate, and a torsion spring is installed at the rotatable connection of the locking plate.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] In this invention, the body and the interface compartment are separated and the interface compartment is adjusted laterally via a support plate. The support plate is equipped with a locking plate that can be pressed and unlocked. Pressing the locking plate releases the limit and allows the position of the interface compartment to be freely adjusted to shorten the connection distance. At the same time, the interface compartment can still be bent to deflect to a position that matches the wire harness insertion angle, effectively improving the wire harness connection efficiency, maintenance efficiency, and ensuring the operating efficiency of the industrial control computer.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0024] Reference Figure 1-6 An industrial control computer that is easy to connect and wire includes a body 1, an interface compartment 11 electrically connected to one side of the body 1, and support plates 2 rotatably mounted on both sides of the interface compartment 11. The support plates 2 slide in cooperation with the limiting groove 4 opened on the outer wall of the body 1 through a slider 21.
[0025] The two ends of the interface compartment 11 are rotatably connected to the support plate 2 via the support shaft 6, and a torsion spring 61 is installed at the rotatable connection between the support shaft 6 and the support plate 2. In its natural state, the torsion spring 61 keeps the interface compartment 11 in a horizontal position without external interference by pre-tightening torque.
[0026] The support plate 2 has a slot in the middle, and a locking plate 3 is installed in the slot by a pin. The locking plate 3 has a snap-fit block 32 on the side facing the machine body 1 to snap-fit the limiting slot 41 opened in the middle of the limiting slot 4.
[0027] Multiple limiting grooves 4 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the outer wall of the body 1. The limiting grooves 4 are used for sliding cooperation with the slider 21.
[0028] Multiple limiting slots 41 are horizontally arrayed between adjacent limiting slots 4, and the limiting slots 41 are engaged with the locking block 32.
[0029] The body 1 and the interface compartment 11 are electrically connected by a ribbon cable 5, which spans between the body 1 and the interface compartment 11 to achieve bidirectional electrical transmission.
[0030] Slider 21 is provided on the upper and lower parts of the inner side of the support plate 2.
[0031] A pin is provided in the middle of the locking plate 3 and is rotatably assembled with the support plate 2. A torsion spring 31 is installed at the rotatable connection of the locking plate 3.
[0032] In this embodiment, pressing the locking plates 3 on both sides of the interface compartment 11 causes them to deflect around their rotation axis. The locking block 32 on the other side of the locking plate 3 rotates in the opposite direction to disengage from the limiting slot 41 on the outside of the body 1. After the limiting state is released, the interface compartment 11 can be pulled outward to adjust its position.
[0033] After adjusting to the corresponding position, releasing the locking plate 3 will automatically reset the torsion spring 31, causing the locking block 32 to re-engage into the corresponding limiting slot 41 to complete the locking.
[0034] In addition, under the action of external force, the interface compartment 11 can be bent to rotate around the support shaft 6, so that the interface compartment 11 can be deflected to a certain extent to change the overall angle of the socket.
[0035] After being twisted, the interface compartment 11 is reset by the torsion spring 61, restoring its horizontal posture.
[0036] Among them, the ribbon cable 5 should be reserved with a certain length to meet the adjustment action between the interface compartment 11 and the body 1.
[0037] In practical applications, in assembly environments with limited space, if operators have difficulty applying force to insert the wiring harness or effectively align the connector, the interface compartment 11 can be pulled closer to shorten the insertion distance, and the interface compartment 11 can be temporarily bent to a position that adapts to the insertion angle of the wiring harness.
[0038] It should be noted that the internal structure and operating principle of the machine body 1, i.e. the industrial control computer body, are common knowledge to those skilled in the art and will not be explained further.
[0039] Correspondingly, the interface compartment 11 is equipped with a data interface to meet basic data connection needs.
[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
