[0042] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides a driver, which includes a housing 1, a control board 2, and N drive boards 3. The housing 1 includes a receiving cavity 11. The control board 2 is detachably mounted on the housing 1 and includes a first external interface 21 located outside the receiving cavity 11 and N first internal interfaces 22 located inside the receiving cavity 11. The first external interface 21 includes a power interface 211 and / or a communication interface 212. The N drive boards 3 are all detachably mounted inside the receiving cavity 11, and each of the N drive boards 3 corresponds one-to-one with one of the N first internal interfaces 22. Each drive board 3 includes a second internal interface 31 and M second external interfaces 32. When the control board 2 is mounted on the housing 1 and each drive board 3 is mounted inside the receiving cavity 11, the second internal interface 31 of each drive board 3 is electrically connected to its corresponding first internal interface 22, and each second external interface 32 is used to connect an external motor. N and M are both positive integers greater than or equal to 2. The driver provided in this embodiment installs N drive boards 3 in the receiving cavity 11 of the housing 1, and controls the N drive boards 3 through the control board 2 installed in the housing 1 to drive N×M external motors. This improves the integration level of the driver, realizes modular installation and maintenance of the driver, and improves the installation and maintenance efficiency of the driver.

[0044] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when the driver is in use, the actual number of drive boards 3 installed in the receiving cavity 11 can be determined according to the actual number of external motors to be controlled. The number of drive boards 3 can be two or more. Generally speaking, as long as the product of the number of drive boards 3 and M is not less than the number of external motors, it is acceptable. For example, when it is necessary to drive 2×M external motors, at least two drive boards 3 are sufficient to meet the requirements. Specifically, when it is necessary to drive 2×M external motors and only two drive boards 3 are configured, each second external interface 32 on each drive board 3 needs to be connected to the external motor; when it is necessary to drive 2×M external motors and more than two drive boards 3 are configured, only some of the second external interfaces 32 on each drive board 3 need to be connected to the external motor.

[0045] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first internal interface 22 is either a plug or a socket, and the second internal interface 31 is the other of the plug and socket, with the plug and socket engaging in a mating connection. This arrangement improves the ease of operation when connecting the drive board 3 and the control board 2. In this embodiment, the first internal interface 22 is exemplarily provided as a socket and the second internal interface 31 as a plug. In other embodiments, the first internal interface 22 and the second internal interface 31 can also be electrically connected via a connecting wire.

[0046] It should be noted that the electrical connection between the first internal interface 22 and the second internal interface 31 is not limited to a direct connection. In other embodiments, the first internal interface 22 and the second internal interface 31 can also be electrically connected indirectly according to actual needs. For example, both the first internal interface 22 and the second internal interface 31 can be connected to an adapter, and the first internal interface 22 and the second internal interface 31 can be electrically connected through the adapter.

[0047] Alternatively, please refer to Figures 2 to 4The housing 1 also includes openings 12 and mounting ports 13, each communicating with the receiving cavity 11. Each drive board 3 is detachably mounted to the receiving cavity 11 through the opening 12. When the control board 2 is mounted on the housing 1, the N first internal interfaces 22 of the control board 2 extend into the receiving cavity 11 through the mounting ports 13 along a first direction (as shown by arrow ab in the figure). When the control board 2 is mounted on the housing 1 and the drive board 3 is mounted to the receiving cavity 11 through the opening 12, the drive board 3 is inserted into the housing 1 along a second direction (as shown by arrow cd in the figure), and the second internal interface 31 of the drive board 3 and its corresponding first internal interface 22 are inserted along the second direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. This arrangement allows the first external interface 21 of the control board 2 to be located outside the receiving cavity 11, so as to facilitate the connection of power cords and communication cables through the first external interface 21; at the same time, it also allows the first internal interface 22 of the control board 2 to extend into the receiving cavity 11 through the mounting ports 13, so as to facilitate electrical connection with the second internal interface 31 of each drive board 3. In addition, when the control board 2 is installed on the housing 1, the drive board 3 is inserted into the housing 1 along the second direction, and the second internal interface 31 of the drive board 3 is also inserted into the first internal interface 22 of the control board 2 along the second direction, which improves the ease of operation of connecting the drive board 3 and the control board 2.

[0048] In other embodiments, when the control board 2 is installed on the housing 1, the first external interface 21 of the control board 2 can also extend into the receiving cavity 11 in the first direction through the mounting port 13, and the first external interface 21 is adjacent to the mounting port 13 and opposite to the mounting port 13, so that the power cord and communication cable can be connected to the first external interface 21 through the mounting port 13.

[0049] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The housing 1 includes N mounting portions 14 arranged sequentially along a first direction. All N mounting portions 14 are located within a receiving cavity 11. N drive boards 3 are detachably connected to each of the N mounting portions 14 in a one-to-one correspondence. When a control board 2 is mounted on the housing 1, its N first internal interfaces 22 are arranged sequentially along the first direction. When a drive board 3 is connected to its corresponding mounting portion 14, its second internal interface 31 and its corresponding first internal interface 22 are inserted. The drive board 3's M second external interfaces 32 are arranged sequentially along a third direction (as shown by arrow ef in the figure), which is perpendicular to the first direction. This arrangement utilizes the space of the receiving cavity 11 along the first direction to arrange the N drive boards 3 within the receiving cavity 11, and utilizes the space of the receiving cavity 11 along the third direction to arrange the M second external interfaces 32 of each drive board 3 within the receiving cavity 11. This effectively and fully utilizes the space within the receiving cavity 11, improving the compactness of the driver layout. Preferably, in this embodiment, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0050] In other embodiments, the housing 1 may be configured to include N mounting portions 14 arranged sequentially along a first direction, with N drive plates 3 connected to the N mounting portions 14 in a one-to-one correspondence, and M second external interfaces 32 of each drive plate 3 arranged sequentially along the first direction.

[0051] Alternatively, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The housing 1 includes a first side plate 15 and a second side plate 16 that are opposite to each other and spaced apart along a third direction. The mounting part 14 includes a first slot 141 and a second slot 142 that both extend along a second direction. The first slot 141 is disposed on the first side plate 15, and the second slot 142 is disposed on the second side plate 16. The first slot 141 and the second slot 142 are opposite to each other and spaced apart along a third direction. Both ends of the drive plate 3 are respectively inserted into the first slot 141 and the second slot 142 along the second direction. This configuration improves the installation efficiency and stability of the drive plate 3. In other embodiments, the mounting part 14 includes a hook, and the drive plate 3 has a slot, with the hook engaging with the slot.

[0052] Alternatively, please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 4 The first side plate 15 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 151 arranged in an array. The driver also includes a cooling fan 4, which is mounted on the outer side of the first side plate 15. The cooling fan 4 is used to dissipate heat from the receiving cavity 11 through the heat dissipation holes 151. With this configuration, since the first side plate 15 is simultaneously opposite to N driving plates 3, placing the cooling fan 4 on the outer side of the first side plate 15 facilitates the dissipation of heat generated by the N driving plates 3 through the heat dissipation holes 151 on the first side plate 15. For example, the plurality of heat dissipation holes 151 can be arranged in a rectangular array along a first direction and a second direction.

[0053] Optionally, the second side plate 16 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 151 arranged in an array. This arrangement is more conducive to the dissipation of heat from the cavity 11.

[0054] Alternatively, please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 4The housing 1 also includes a third side plate 17, a fourth side plate 18, and a bottom plate 19. The third side plate 17 and the fourth side plate 18 are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart along a first direction. The third side plate 17 and the fourth side plate 18 are both connected between the first side plate 15 and the second side plate 16. The first side plate 15, the second side plate 16, the third side plate 17, and the fourth side plate 18 together form a receiving cavity 11 with an opening 12. The bottom plate 19 is connected to the first side plate 15, the second side plate 16, the third side plate 17, and the fourth side plate 18. The bottom plate 19 and the opening 12 are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart along a second direction. An installation port 13 communicating with the receiving cavity 11 is formed between the third side plate 17 and the bottom plate 19. The control plate 2 extends into the receiving cavity 11 through the installation port 13 and is connected to the housing 1. Alternatively, the control plate 2 can be disassembled from the housing 1 and exit the receiving cavity 11 through the installation port 13. This design allows the control board 2 to be disassembled without removing the housing 1; it can be removed from the receiving cavity 11 via the mounting port 13, improving the ease of maintenance of the control board 2. Preferably, the first side plate 15, the second side plate 16, the third side plate 17, the fourth side plate 18, and the base plate 19 are integrally formed.

[0055] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cooling fan 4 drives the air in the receiving cavity 11 through the heat dissipation holes 151 and discharges it to the outside. When the control board 2 is installed on the housing 1, the mounting port 13 is fitted with the control board 2 with a clearance. Driven by the cooling fan 4, outside air can not only enter the receiving cavity 11 through the heat dissipation holes 151 on the second side plate 16, but also enter the receiving cavity 11 through the mounting port 13, so as to form an airflow circulation and improve the heat dissipation effect on the control board 2 and the drive board 3. In other embodiments, the cooling fan 4 can also be used to drive outside air into the receiving cavity 11.

[0056] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The control board 2 also includes a first circuit board 23, with a first external interface 21 and each first internal interface 22 mounted on the top surface of the first circuit board 23; the drive board 3 also includes a second circuit board 33, with a second internal interface 31 mounted on the bottom end of the second circuit board 33 and each second external interface 32 mounted on the top end of the second circuit board 33; when the control board 2 is mounted on the housing 1 and the N drive boards 3 are mounted in the receiving cavity 11, the second internal interfaces 31 of the N drive boards 3 are plugged into the N first internal interfaces 22 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the second circuit board 33 of each drive board 3 is spaced apart from the first circuit board 23 to form a ventilation gap. The mounting port 13 and the N ventilation gaps are arranged sequentially and spaced apart along the first direction. Driven by the cooling fan 4, outside air can enter the receiving cavity 11 through the mounting port 13 and enter between any two adjacent drive boards 3 through each ventilation gap, which can further enhance the heat dissipation effect on the control board 2 and the heat dissipation effect on each drive board 3.

[0057] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 4 The base plate 19 includes a support rib 191 extending along a first direction. The support rib 191 is opposite to the mounting opening 13 and is used to support the control plate 2. This arrangement allows the control plate 2 to be supported by and slide along the support rib 191 during insertion or removal from the receiving cavity 11 through the mounting opening 13, reducing the frictional resistance between the control plate 2 and the base plate 19 during installation and removal, thus facilitating the installation and maintenance of the control plate 2. Preferably, the support rib 191 is made of a self-lubricating material (such as nylon), which further reduces the resistance experienced by the control plate 2 when sliding along the support rib 191.

[0058] Alternatively, please continue to refer to Figure 4 The support rib 191 includes a support surface 192 and a guide surface 193 connected at an angle to the support surface 192. The support surface 192 is used to support the control plate 2, and the guide surface 193 is adjacent to the mounting port 13 and is used to guide the control plate 2 to contact the support surface 192.

[0059] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 1The driver also includes a cover 51, which is detachably connected to the housing 1. The cover 51 is used to cover the opening 12 and has multiple clearance openings 511, each corresponding to a multiple second external interface 32. When the cover 51 is connected to the housing 1 and each drive plate 3 is installed in the receiving cavity 11 through the opening 12, each second external interface 32 is opposite to the corresponding clearance opening 511 and is exposed through the corresponding clearance opening 511. This configuration can cover the opening 12 communicating with the receiving cavity 11, preventing damage to the drive plate 3 due to accidental contact by the user, thus improving the safety of the drive plate 3. By providing clearance openings 511 on the cover 51, the second external interface 32 can be connected to the connection wire of an external motor through the clearance openings 511.

[0060] Alternatively, please continue to refer to Figure 1 The cover 51 includes N cover plates 5, each corresponding to one of the N drive plates 3. Each cover plate 5 is detachably connected to the housing 1, and each cover plate 5 has M clearance openings 511. When all N drive plates 3 are installed in the receiving cavity 11 through the openings 12, and all N cover plates 5 are connected to the housing 1, the N drive plates 3 are arranged sequentially along a first direction, and the N cover plates 5 are also arranged sequentially along the first direction. Each cover plate 5 covers its corresponding drive plate 3, and all N cover plates 5 together cover the openings 12. The M clearance openings 511 of each cover plate 5 are correspondingly arranged with the M second external interfaces 32 of the corresponding drive plate 3. This arrangement, by dividing the cover 51 into N individual cover plates 5, facilitates individual maintenance of each drive plate 3, improving maintenance efficiency.

[0061] This embodiment also provides a sorting device, which includes the aforementioned driver, frame, and multiple electric rollers. The driver and electric rollers are all mounted on the frame. Each electric roller includes a cylinder and a motor driven by the cylinder. The motor of each electric roller is electrically connected to a second external interface 32 and is used to drive the cylinder to rotate. This sorting device uses the aforementioned driver, which can drive N×M external motors. It has a high degree of integration, enabling modular installation and maintenance of the driver, thus improving the efficiency of driver installation and maintenance.
