Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of controller technology, and in particular to a small black box for power control that can be adapted to various control modules. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most control boxes on the market adopt a "one-module-per-unit" specialized design, meaning the internal structure of a single control box is designed specifically for a particular size and model of control module. The control box typically uses simple guide slots or a single mounting hole to secure a single control module. However, if users need to use control modules of different models or sizes, they must equip themselves with corresponding specific control boxes. This not only increases the variety of equipment in the user's inventory and procurement costs but also wastes resources, as traditional dedicated control boxes are incompatible with modules of different sizes. When system upgrades or functional changes are required, replacing the control module often means replacing the entire control box, which is cumbersome and inefficient. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology and to provide a power control black box that can be adapted to a variety of control modules.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a power control black box adaptable to multiple control modules, comprising a box body; the box body is provided with a first positioning component, a second positioning component, and a third positioning component with different spatial positions; the first positioning component, the second positioning component, and the third positioning component together construct an installation area adaptable to the first control module, the second control module, and the third control module within the box body; the control module is detachably housed within the installation area and fixed to the box body by locking components.
[0005] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the box body is provided with multiple positioning plates arranged along the same straight line; when any control module is placed in the installation area, its side wall is linearly abutted against the multiple positioning plates.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the box body is provided with a connecting post, which is located on the side opposite to the positioning plate; a positioning pressure plate is fixed to the connecting post by screws; when the first control module is placed in the installation area, the positioning pressure plate can press and fix the first control module to the box body.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the first positioning component includes a positioning member located at the diagonal of the first control module, and the two positioning members can respectively abut against the two side walls of the first control module.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a first positioning rib is provided on one side of the box body adjacent to the positioning plate, and a second positioning rib and a third positioning rib are respectively provided on the side of the box body relatively away from the first positioning rib. The width between the first positioning rib and the second positioning rib is adapted to the size of the second control module, and the width of the first positioning rib and the third positioning rib is adapted to the size of the third control module. When the second control module is housed in the installation area, one side of it abuts against the positioning plate, and the adjacent two sides are limited between the first positioning rib and the second positioning rib, and its bottom overlaps the positioning member. When the third control module is housed in the installation area, one side of it abuts against the positioning plate, and the adjacent two sides are limited between the first positioning rib and the third positioning rib.
[0009] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are: users can flexibly select and replace different control modules as needed without replacing the entire control box. The module installation process is simple and intuitive; simply place the module into the installation area to form different mounting positions, whose shape naturally matches the positioning structure, and secure it with a simple locking operation. This design greatly simplifies the system configuration, upgrade, and maintenance process, saves operating time, improves work efficiency, and allows for precise adaptation to control modules of different sizes. It eliminates the traditional "one box, one module" design, achieving universal compatibility of a single control box with multiple module specifications. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0012] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0013] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0014] like Figure 1-4 The diagram illustrates a power control black box adaptable to multiple control modules, comprising a housing 1. Within the housing 1 are a first positioning component, a second positioning component, and a third positioning component, each with a different spatial position. These components together form an installation area 5 within the housing 1, adaptable to a first control module 2, a second control module 3, and a third control module 4. The control modules are detachably housed within the installation area 5 and secured to the housing 1 using locking devices. In this embodiment, to illustrate the control box's adaptability, the adapted first control module 2, second control module 3, and third control module 4 can be commercially available general-purpose intelligent control modules of different sizes, such as products from brands like Xiezhu, Weilaiju, and Aolaiwei. The control box is primarily used to install and secure these modules to construct a complete controller, applicable to scenarios such as display brightness adjustment. It should be clearly stated that the core utility model of this application lies in the universal mechanical structure of the control box, which can be adapted to control modules of various sizes. Specifically, it lies in the design of its internal multiple positioning components and the installation area 5, rather than in the function, brand, or specific control method logic of the control module itself. In this embodiment, the second control module 3 and the third control module 4 are directly fixed with screws after placement, and the first control module 2 is fixed with the positioning pressure plate 9 after placement. The small black box in this embodiment adopts a black shell and integrates the control module and the power module. The size of the power control small black box is usually within the range of (length ≤ 300mm, width ≤ 150mm, height ≤ 50mm), which is a compact design. The specific external dimensions of this application are 283.5mm (length) x 135mm (width) x 40mm (height). Within this range and compared with similar power control small black boxes, it has a higher space utilization rate and is more compact.
[0015] Users can flexibly select and replace different control modules as needed without replacing the entire control box. The module installation process is simple and intuitive; simply place the required control module within installation area 5 (specific limits are set by positioning components), and its shape naturally matches the positioning structure. A simple locking operation completes the fixation. This design greatly simplifies the system configuration, upgrade, and maintenance process, saves operation time, improves work efficiency, and allows for precise adaptation to control modules of different sizes. It eliminates the traditional "one box, one module" design, achieving universal compatibility of a single control box with multiple module specifications.
[0016] The housing 1 contains multiple positioning plates 6 arranged along the same straight line; when any control module is placed in the installation area 5, its side wall is linearly abutted against the multiple positioning plates 6.
[0017] The housing 1 is provided with a connecting post 7, which is located on the side opposite to the positioning plate 6; a positioning pressure plate 8 is fixed on the connecting post 7 by screws; when the first control module 2 is placed in the installation area 5, the positioning pressure plate 8 can press and fix the first control module 2 on the housing 1.
[0018] The first positioning component includes positioning elements 9 located at opposite corners of the first control module 2, with the two positioning elements 9 respectively abutting against the two side walls of the first control module 2.
[0019] The box body 1 has a first positioning rib 10 on one side adjacent to the positioning plate 6. The box body 1 has a second positioning rib 11 and a third positioning rib 12 on the side away from the first positioning rib 10. The width between the first positioning rib 10 and the second positioning rib 11 is adapted to the size of the second control module 3. The width of the first positioning rib 10 and the third positioning rib 12 is adapted to the size of the third control module 4. When the second control module 3 is installed in the installation area 5, one side of it abuts against the positioning plate 6, and the adjacent two sides are limited between the first positioning rib 10 and the second positioning rib 11, and its bottom overlaps the positioning member 9. When the third control module 4 is installed in the installation area 5, one side of it abuts against the positioning plate 6, and the adjacent two sides are limited between the first positioning rib 10 and the third positioning rib 12. The third control module 4 is fixed to the box body 1 by screws.
[0020] The positioning ribs on the box 1 are used to abut against the side wall of the control module to achieve limiting. Their shape can be designed as needed, such as a long strip, an arc, a dotted protrusion or other irregular shape, and are not limited to a specific configuration. Any structure that can achieve the function of abutting against the side wall of the control module to limit the position is within the protection scope of this application.
[0021] It also includes a power supply box 13 connected to the control box, the power supply box 13 is provided with a power module, and the control box is provided with a control output line 14 that is electrically connected to the controller.
[0022] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the utility model as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
