Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robot control technology, specifically to a robot controller with a detachable composite protective structure. Background Technology
[0002] As we all know, with the continuous development of robot technology, the performance and reliability of robot controllers, as core components, directly determine the overall performance of robots. However, in practical applications, robot controllers face a variety of challenges, especially in complex environments such as industrial automation, intelligent manufacturing, and logistics distribution. These factors may cause damage to the electronic components inside the controller or unstable signal transmission, thereby affecting the normal operation of the robot.
[0003] Traditional robot controllers are typically protected by a shell made of a single material. While this method can resist external damage to some extent, it is insufficient to protect the controller from complex working conditions, including physical impacts, vibrations, electromagnetic interference, and environmental corrosion. Furthermore, traditional fixing methods such as screw connections or snap-fit designs are inefficient during frequent disassembly and assembly, which not only increases maintenance costs but may also cause the structure to loosen or be damaged due to repeated operations. Utility Model Content
[0004] Technical problems to be solved To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a robot controller with a detachable composite protective structure.
[0005] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a robot controller with a detachable composite protective structure, comprising a controller body, a first protective structure, a second protective structure, and a quick-locking device. The outer layer of the first and second protective structures is a protective shell, a middle buffer layer, and an inner shielding layer. One end of the second protective structure has a groove. Multiple sets of interfaces are installed on the side wall of the controller body. The groove and the interfaces are compatible. Limit seats are installed at both ends of the inner walls of the first and second protective structures. Positioning blocks are installed at both ends of the outer wall of the first protective structure. Multiple sets of locking grooves are opened at the ends of the two sets of positioning blocks that are far apart from each other. Locking boxes are installed at both ends of the outer wall of the second protective structure. Positioning grooves are opened on the side walls of the locking boxes. Sliding grooves are opened in the positioning grooves. Multiple sets of locking pins are installed in the sliding grooves through the quick-locking device. The locking pins and the locking grooves are compatible.
[0006] Furthermore, the present invention is improved in that the quick locking device includes a spring and a sliding plate, the sliding plate is slidably installed in the sliding groove, one end of the sliding plate is fixedly connected to one end of a plurality of locking pins, and a plurality of springs are installed between the sliding plate and the sliding groove.
[0007] Furthermore, the present invention is improved in that a pull rod is installed at one end of the slide plate near the spring, and a pull plate is installed at one end of the pull rod through the locking box. A limiting groove is formed on the outer wall of the locking box, and the limiting groove and the pull plate are adapted to each other.
[0008] Furthermore, the present invention is improved in that guide grooves are provided at both the left and right ends of the slide groove, and guide blocks are installed at both the left and right ends of the slide plate, and the guide blocks and the guide grooves are slidably connected.
[0009] Furthermore, the present invention is improved in that both the guide block and the guide groove are T-shaped designs.
[0010] Furthermore, the present invention is improved in that the first protective structure has a docking groove at one end near the second protective structure, and the second protective structure has a U-shaped docking block installed at one end near the first protective structure, wherein the docking block and the docking groove are adapted to each other.
[0011] Furthermore, the present invention is improved in that a cooling fan is installed at one end of the first protective structure, and multiple sets of ventilation openings are provided on the side walls of both the first and second protective structures.
[0012] Furthermore, the present invention is improved in that the protective shell is made of high-strength engineering plastic, the buffer layer is made of silicone material, and the shielding layer is a metal mesh structure.
[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a robot controller with a detachable composite protective structure, which has the following advantages: This detachable composite protective structure robot controller achieves comprehensive protection for the controller body through the synergistic effect of the outer protective shell, the middle buffer layer, and the inner shielding layer. This covers multiple aspects, including physical impact, vibration, electromagnetic interference, and environmental corrosion, greatly improving the device's adaptability and stability under complex working conditions. The use of high-strength engineering plastics and silicone materials not only ensures protective performance but also maintains a lightweight structure, facilitating handling, installation, and maintenance. It is suitable for various application scenarios, including mobile robots. The addition of a metal shielding layer effectively suppresses electromagnetic interference, ensuring the safety of the robot controller's operation and the stability of data transmission.
[0014] This robot controller with a detachable composite protective structure features a quick-locking device. When the first and second protective structures are docked, the positioning block inserts into the positioning slot, and the locking pin enters the locking slot to automatically lock, greatly simplifying the installation process, reducing manual operation time, and improving work efficiency. It is especially suitable for applications that require frequent disassembly or on-site maintenance. When the controller body needs to be inspected or replaced, simply apply external force by pulling the plate to make the sliding plate overcome the spring pressure and move backward, which will allow the locking pin to be removed from the locking slot, achieving quick unlocking.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] Please see Figure 1-6A robot controller with a detachable composite protective structure includes a controller body 1, a first protective structure 2, a second protective structure 3, and a quick-locking device. The first protective structure 2 and the second protective structure 3 have an outer protective shell 4, a middle buffer layer 5, and an inner shielding layer 6. One end of the second protective structure 3 has a groove 7. Multiple sets of interfaces 8 are installed on the side wall of the controller body 1, and the groove 7 and the interfaces 8 are compatible. Limit seats 9 are installed at both ends of the inner walls of the first protective structure 2 and the second protective structure 3. Positioning blocks 10 are installed at both the upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the first protective structure 2. The two sets of positioning blocks 10 are far apart. Multiple sets of locking slots 11 are provided at one end of the second protective structure 3. Locking boxes 12 are installed at both the upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the second protective structure 3. Positioning slots 13 are provided on the side walls of the locking boxes 12. Sliding grooves 14 are provided in the positioning slots 13. Multiple sets of locking pins 15 are installed in the sliding grooves 14 through the quick locking device. The locking pins 15 are adapted to the locking slots 11. In this embodiment, when using the robot controller with the detachable composite protective structure, the controller body 1 is first placed between the first protective structure 2 and the second protective structure 3. The slot 7 at one end of the second protective structure 3 is connected to the multiple sets of interfaces 8 installed on the side wall of the controller body 1. An adapter connection is established to ensure that the controller can still transmit data and supply power normally while under protection, without affecting its basic functions. The controller body 1 is placed between the first protective structure 2 and the second protective structure 3, and the controller body 1 is further fixed by the limiting seat 9. This allows the controller body 1 to be stably clamped in the middle, preventing displacement or loosening due to vibration or collision. The quick locking device is activated by pushing the first protective structure 2 and the second protective structure 3 to align. When the positioning block 10 enters the positioning groove 13, the multiple sets of locking pins 15 can quickly lock into the positioning block 10 under the action of the quick locking device. The locking slot 11 is used to achieve a tight connection between the first protective structure 2 and the second protective structure 3. Since the outer layer of the first protective structure 2 and the second protective structure 3 is a protective shell 4, the middle buffer layer 5 and the inner shielding layer 6, this multi-layer design can effectively absorb external impact and shield electromagnetic interference, thereby protecting the controller body 1 from physical damage and signal interference. The design of the quick locking device not only improves the installation efficiency, but also enhances the stability of the overall structure. At the same time, when it is necessary to maintain or replace the controller body 1, the first protective structure 2 and the second protective structure 3 can be easily separated by operating the quick locking device, which is convenient for inspection and replacement of parts.
[0019] Preferably, in this embodiment, the quick-locking device includes a spring 16 and a sliding plate 17. The sliding plate 17 is slidably installed in the slide groove 14. One end of the sliding plate 17 is fixedly connected to one end of a plurality of locking pins 15. A plurality of springs 16 are installed between the sliding plate 17 and the slide groove 14. During use, when the first protective structure 2 and the second protective structure 3 need to be closed, the operator inserts the positioning block 10 into the positioning groove 13 of the locking box 12. At this time, the locking pins 15 will first contact the positioning block 10, but due to the pressure of the positioning block 10 on the locking pins 15, the sliding plate is pressed... Multiple sets of springs 16 and multiple sets of locking pins are retracted and housed in the slide groove 14. When the positioning block 10 is fully inserted into the positioning groove 13, the locking pin 15 is aligned with the position of the locking groove 11. At this time, due to the elastic force of the spring 16, the slide plate 17 moves in the locking direction, causing the locking pin 15 to quickly insert into the locking groove 11, completing the automatic locking action. The whole process does not require additional tools or manual tightening, which greatly improves the assembly efficiency. The slide plate 17 structure driven by the spring 16 can automatically complete the locking while the positioning block 10 is inserted into the positioning groove 13, eliminating the cumbersome operation steps of traditional screws or buckles, and significantly improving the assembly efficiency.
[0020] Preferably, in this embodiment, a pull rod 18 is installed at one end of the sliding plate 17 near the spring 16. One end of the pull rod 18 passes through the locking box 12 and a pull plate 19 is installed thereon. A limiting groove 20 is formed on the outer wall of the locking box 12. The limiting groove 20 and the pull plate 19 are adapted to each other. When no external force is applied, the spring 16 is in a naturally extended state, pushing the sliding plate 17 to move towards the locking post 15, so that the locking post 15 extends out of the locking box 12 and is inserted into the locking groove 11 on the first protective structure 2. The pull plate 19 is located in the limiting groove 20 and moves horizontally. To prevent accidental locking due to vibration or impact, when unlocking is required, the user first locates and holds the pull plate 19, which is directly connected to one end of the slide plate 17 via the pull rod 18. The slide plate 17 is located in the slide groove 14 inside the locking box 12. The user pulls the pull plate 19 outward, and this action is transmitted to the slide plate 17 via the pull rod 18, forcing the slide plate 17 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 16 and move along the slide groove 14 away from the locking pin 15. As the slide plate 17 moves, the locking pin 15 is also driven to retract into the locking box 12, thereby disengaging from the locking groove 11.
[0021] Preferably, in this embodiment, guide grooves 21 are provided at both ends of the slide groove 14, and guide blocks 22 are installed at both ends of the slide plate 17. The guide blocks 22 and the guide grooves 21 are slidably connected. When the user pulls the pull plate 19, the slide plate 17 is moved away from the locking pin 15 by the pull rod 18. The slide plate 17 will slide forward along the slide groove 14. At this time, the guide blocks 22 on the slide plate 17 will also slide synchronously in the guide grooves 21, always restricting the slide plate 17 to move only in a straight line, preventing it from deviating or tilting. The guide structure ensures that the slide plate 17 is subjected to uniform force during the movement, thereby driving multiple sets of locking pins 15 to extend and retract synchronously, effectively preventing the slide plate 17 from shaking or tilting in the slide groove 14, so that it always maintains stable operation during the entire movement process.
[0022] Preferably, in this embodiment, both the guide block 22 and the guide groove 21 are T-shaped designs. The most prominent feature of the T-shaped structure is its self-locking property. Since the head of the guide block 22 is wider than the root, once it is embedded in the guide groove 21, it is not easy to come out in the vertical direction, and the connection can remain stable even when the equipment is subjected to vibration or impact.
[0023] Preferably, in this embodiment, the first protective structure 2 has a docking groove 24 at one end near the second protective structure 3, and the second protective structure 3 has a U-shaped docking block 23 installed at one end near the first protective structure 2. The docking block 23 and the docking groove 24 are adapted to each other. When the user brings the first protective structure 2 and the second protective structure 3 close together, the U-shaped docking block 23 on the second protective structure 3 aligns with the docking groove 24 on the first protective structure 2. The user applies slight pressure to make the U-shaped docking block 23 gradually embed into the docking groove 24. Since the docking block 23 adopts a U-shaped structure, its periphery forms a tight fit with the inner wall of the docking groove 24. After docking, the two protective structures achieve preliminary alignment and limitation, ensuring that there will be no misalignment, offset or angular deviation when fixed by a quick locking device.
[0024] Preferably, in this embodiment, a cooling fan 25 is installed at one end of the first protective structure 2. Multiple sets of ventilation openings 26 are opened on the side walls of both the first protective structure 2 and the second protective structure 3. When the cooling fan 25 is started, it generates negative pressure inside the protective structure, so that cooler outside air is drawn into the protective housing 4 through the multiple ventilation openings 26 on the side walls of the first protective structure 2 and the second protective structure 3. These ventilation openings 26 are usually distributed in different positions of the protective structure to ensure that the air can enter evenly. Multiple sets of limiting seats 9 are not only used to fix the controller body 1, but also form an effective air duct system inside the protective structure. These limiting seats 9 guide the airflow along a predetermined path, from one end to the other end, to ensure that the air covers the side wall of the controller body. Through reasonable air duct design, heat can be effectively removed to achieve heat dissipation of the controller body 1. The ventilation openings 26 are designed in the form of a honeycomb or metal mesh with small apertures. These aperture sizes are much smaller than the wavelength of electromagnetic waves, which can effectively block electromagnetic waves from passing through, while allowing air to circulate for heat dissipation.
[0025] Preferably, in this embodiment, the protective shell 4 is made of high-strength engineering plastic, the buffer layer 5 is made of silicone material, and the shielding layer 6 is a metal mesh structure. The high-strength engineering plastic has good impact resistance, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, which can effectively protect the internal electronic components from physical damage. The silicone material has excellent elasticity and flexibility, which can effectively absorb external vibration and impact, protecting the internal sensitive electronic components from damage. The metal mesh structure forms a continuous conductive path, which can effectively block the influence of external electromagnetic waves on the internal circuit, and also prevent internal signals from leaking outward, ensuring the security and stability of data transmission.

The embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.
[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
