[0036] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0037] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 1 to 8 An encoder can be built into the housing 200. A motherboard 110 is installed inside the housing 100. The housing 100 has a first mounting hole 120 and two symmetrically arranged limiting blocks 130 in the left-right direction. The limiting blocks 130 are made of metal or high-strength engineering plastic. Their symmetrical arrangement offsets assembly stress, enabling pre-positioning and anti-displacement of the housing 200. The housing 200 is a flat cuboid shape. This flat shape maximizes the use of redundant space inside the housing 100. Similar to a conventional hard drive, the housing 200 is a flat cuboid, allowing it to be directly installed in the area reserved for the hard drive on the housing 100. The housing 200 is installed inside the housing 100. The housing 200 is located between two limiting blocks 130. The housing 200 is provided with a second mounting hole 210. The first mounting hole 120 is aligned with the second mounting hole 210. The housing 200 and the body 100 are fixedly connected by bolts. The bolts pass through the first mounting hole 120 and the second mounting hole 210 to fix the housing 200 and the body 100 relative to each other. The lower side of the housing 200 is provided with a voltage input interface 310. The voltage input interface 310 is electrically connected to the motherboard 110. The housing 200 directly utilizes the power supply line of the motherboard 110, eliminating the need for an independent power adapter and reducing the overall power consumption and wiring complexity.
[0038] Understandably, when the housing 200 is placed inside the body 100, the two limiting blocks 130 serve to position the housing 200, facilitating its placement within the body 100. The housing 200 is positioned between the two limiting blocks 130, which abut against the left and right sides of the housing 200 respectively, thus restricting its movement in the left-right direction. The first mounting hole 120 and the second mounting hole 210 are aligned, and bolts are simultaneously inserted and connected to both holes, securing the housing 200 within the body 100. The voltage input interface 310 of the housing 200 is electrically connected to the main board 110 via a cable, and the main board 110 supplies power to the housing 200.
[0039] The built-in encoder is installed inside the body 100, which is highly concealed and reduces the risk of theft and damage to the device. It is powered by the motherboard 110, so no separate power supply is required, which can also prevent the power from being cut off and improve the security of the device.
[0040] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The limiting block 130 has a first mounting hole 120, and the housing 200 has two second mounting holes 210. The first mounting holes 120 of the two limiting blocks 130 correspond to the two second mounting holes 210 respectively. Two bolts are simultaneously inserted into the first mounting holes 120 and the second mounting holes 210 respectively. The two bolts form a force couple balance, reducing the vibration offset of the housing 200, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the body 100 and the housing 200. Furthermore, second mounting holes 210 can be provided at each of the four corners of the housing 200, with the four limiting blocks 130 corresponding to the four second mounting holes 210, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the housing 200 and the body 100.
[0041] Preferred, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The limiting block 130 includes a first rod 131 and a second rod 132. The first rod 131 extends in the front-back direction, and the second rod 132 extends in the left-right direction. The front end of the first rod 131 is fixedly connected to the rear side wall of the body 100, and the rear end of the first rod 131 is fixedly connected to one end of the second rod 132. The other end of the second rod 132 extends toward another limiting block 130. The connection of the first rod 131 and the second rod 132 forms an L-shaped covering structure that covers the rear side of the shell 200. The front side of the second rod 132 is attached to the rear side of the shell 200. The front sides of the second rods 132 of the two limiting blocks 130 cooperate with the rear side of the body 100 to clamp the shell 200.
[0042] Furthermore, refer to Figure 8The second rod 132 is provided with a first mounting hole 120, and the rear side of the housing 200 is provided with a second mounting hole 210. Bolts are inserted into the first mounting hole 120 and the second mounting hole 210 in sequence, so that the housing 200 is fixedly connected to the second rod 132, thereby making the housing 200 relatively fixed to the body 100.
[0043] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The housing 200 includes a body 220 and a cover plate 230. The body 220 is located in front of the cover plate 230, with the opening of the body 220 facing rearward. The cover plate 230 can block the opening of the body 220. The body 220 and the cover plate 230 are detachably connected. A circuit board 240 is provided inside the housing 200. The circuit board 240 is placed inside the body 220. The body 220 and the cover plate 230 use conductive metal to achieve electromagnetic shielding. After the cover plate 230 is fixedly connected to the body 220 by bolts, the circuit board 240 can be fixedly installed inside the body 220. The cover plate 230 restricts the movement of the circuit board 240 to prevent the circuit board 240 from detaching from the body 220. The circuit board 240 is electrically connected to the voltage input interface 310. The extremely short power path optimizes energy transmission efficiency.
[0044] Preferably, the lower side of the housing 200 is provided with a voltage input interface 310, a video output interface 320, and a network interface 330. The upper side of the housing 200 is provided with an audio input interface 340, a reset button 350, and a TF card slot 360. The voltage input interface 310, video output interface 320, network interface 330, audio input interface 340, reset button 350, and TF card slot 360 are all electrically connected to the circuit board 240.
[0045] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 3 The rear side of the housing 220 is recessed forward, causing the front side of the housing 200 to bulge forward, thus forming a receiving groove 250 and creating localized increased capacity. Part of the circuit board 240 is located within the receiving groove 250. It is understood that some electronic components on the circuit board 240 have a relatively large length along the front-to-back direction. The receiving groove 250 ensures sufficient space within the housing 220 to accommodate these electronic components, preventing the circuit board 240 from being unable to fit into the housing 220 and resolving compatibility issues for large-sized electronic components. Furthermore, the presence of the receiving groove 250 allows some of the circuit board 240 to not be directly attached to the housing 220, and some of the circuit board 240 has a certain distance between itself and the bottom of the receiving groove 250, thereby enhancing heat dissipation efficiency.
[0046] Furthermore, refer to Figure 3The receiving groove 250 is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs 260, which are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. The left and right ends of the reinforcing ribs 260 are connected to the groove wall of the receiving groove 250 respectively. The reinforcing ribs 260 can enhance the strength of the receiving groove 250, making the receiving groove 250 less prone to deformation.
[0047] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The shell 220 has a third mounting hole 270 on both its left and right sides. The axis of the third mounting hole 270 is in the left-right direction. The body 100 has corresponding mounting holes in the left-right direction, allowing the shell 220 to be mounted on the body 100 in multiple ways, thus improving the compatibility between the shell 220 and the body 100. In one embodiment, the third mounting hole 270 is a threaded hole, and the bolt is threaded into both the third mounting hole 270 and the mounting hole of the body 100, so that the shell 220 is fixedly mounted on the body 100.
[0048] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The shell 220 is provided with heat dissipation holes 280, which allow heat exchange between the inside of the shell 220 and the outside. The rear side wall of the body 100 is provided with a raised plate 140, and the front side of the shell 200 abuts against the raised plate 140, so that there is a certain gap between the heat dissipation holes 280 and the rear side wall of the body 100 to ensure air circulation.
[0049] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 3 The inner wall of the housing 220 is provided with a positioning strip 291 to provide a foolproof guiding function. The outer wall of the circuit board 240 is provided with a positioning groove 292. When the circuit board 240 is placed in the housing 220, the positioning strip 291 is inserted into the positioning groove 292. The cooperation between the positioning strip 291 and the positioning groove 292 plays a positioning role, which makes it easy for the circuit board 240 to be quickly installed in the housing 220.
[0050] This invention systematically solves the problems of space occupation, independent power supply, and equipment safety associated with traditional external video encoders through an innovative built-in architecture design. Firstly, it creatively utilizes the redundant space inside the housing 100, achieving millimeter-level precise positioning and vibration-resistant stable installation of the encoder housing 200 through symmetrically distributed limiting blocks 130 and a double-bolt fixing structure. The L-shaped limiting block 130 design, combined with the rear wall of the housing 100, forms a bidirectional clamping force field, significantly improving the reliability of the equipment in mobile environments. Secondly, it adopts a direct power supply scheme via the motherboard 110, directly obtaining power from the host through the voltage input interface 310 on the lower edge of the housing 200, completely eliminating the need for an external power adapter. This not only simplifies cable layout but also achieves deep integration of the power supply system with the host. In terms of structural optimization, the split housing 220 and cover plate 230 design, combined with the internal positioning strip 291 structure, ensures the assembly accuracy of the circuit board 240 and facilitates layered maintenance. The collaborative design of the protruding receiving groove 250 and the reinforcing rib 260 maintains the slim profile of the housing 200 while perfectly accommodating large-size electronic components. The interface layout scientifically separates strong and weak current circuits, while the efficient convection channel constructed by the heat dissipation holes 280 and the raised plate 140 ensures long-term stable operation of the equipment. The multi-directional mounting adaptability design of the third mounting hole 270 on the side wall gives the encoder flexible body 100 compatibility, allowing it to adapt to different motherboard 110 layouts. This solution organically unifies physical concealment, power supply integration, structural reliability, and thermal management efficiency, reducing equipment space occupation, simplifying the power supply link, improving anti-theft capabilities, and enhancing the overall mobility of the device.
