Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an industrial machine handheld operator, specifically an industrial machine handheld operator with an external protective shell to prevent accidental touch. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial handheld controllers are portable, industrial-grade control devices primarily used for on-site operation, parameter adjustment, program control, and status monitoring of various industrial machine tools. They connect to the machine tool's main control system via wired or wireless communication, overcoming the lack of flexibility of traditional fixed control consoles. They are particularly suitable for scenarios requiring close-range operation, complex workstation adjustments, or on-site debugging.

[0003] Industrial machine tool handheld controllers consist of physical interaction components such as function button sets, knobs and handwheels, and emergency stop buttons, enabling mobile and efficient control of machine tools. During operation, accidental contact with these control components may cause unexpected machine tool movements. If these buttons are not protected by sliding covers, unintentional touches by the operator's fingers while holding the controller may cause sudden tool feed, resulting in machining dimensional deviations or even damage to the tool or workpiece. To prevent accidental touches of the function buttons on industrial machine tool handheld controllers, protective cover structures are usually added to the controllers.

[0004] Traditional controllers are equipped with protective covers that protect function buttons. However, these covers typically use a sliding structure, allowing only a single up-and-down sliding function. To operate, the cover must be slid completely up or down to expose the buttons. After sliding, the cover extends beyond the controller body, increasing its overall size and space requirements, affecting portability and comfort. Furthermore, these up-and-down sliding covers lack a stable, elastic locking mechanism, making them prone to displacement due to bumps. The extended portion further exacerbates the risk of loosening and wear, shortening component lifespan and increasing maintenance costs. Finally, existing controllers fail to balance protection, ease of operation, and durability in their design. They either offer good protection but are inconvenient to operate and carry, or are flexible to operate but lack sufficient protection. They are ill-suited to the complex working conditions of high interference, high-frequency operation, and frequent bumps in industrial settings, leading to frequent malfunctions and affecting operational stability. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an industrial handheld operator with an external protective shell to prevent accidental touch, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: An industrial handheld operator with an external protective shell to prevent accidental touch includes a handheld operator body and a button operation area disposed on the handheld operator body. Limiting support beams and fixing columns are fixedly connected to both sides of the handheld operator body. Limiting connecting rods are installed on the fixing columns. A mounting frame and an arc-shaped groove formed on the mounting frame are rotatably mounted on the fixing columns. The arc-shaped groove cooperates with the limiting connecting rods. A locking mechanism is provided on the mounting frame. A protective mechanism and an elastic fastening mechanism fixed to the protective mechanism are provided on one side of the handheld operator body. The elastic fastening mechanism cooperates with the locking mechanism.

[0007] As described above, the anti-accidental touch industrial handheld operator with an external protective shell includes a locking mechanism comprising a groove formed on the mounting frame and two slots formed on the mounting frame, both of which are connected to the same groove.

[0008] As described above, the anti-accidental touch industrial handheld operator with an external protective shell includes a locking mechanism that further comprises a first spring mounted on the groove and a sliding plate mounted on the first spring, with a limit post mounted on the sliding plate.

[0009] As described above, the protective mechanism for the anti-accidental touch industrial handheld operator with an external protective shell includes a protective shell disposed on the main body of the handheld operator and limiting protrusions disposed on both sides of the protective shell. The protective shell slides on the limiting support beams on both sides of the main body of the handheld operator through the limiting protrusions.

[0010] As described above, the anti-accidental touch industrial handheld operator with an external protective shell has four cavities and sliding columns that slide on the cavities. Each end of the sliding column is equipped with a second spring, and both second springs are mounted on the cavities.

[0011] As described above, the anti-accidental touch industrial handheld operator with an external protective shell includes an elastic fastening mechanism comprising a limiting block installed on one side of the sliding column. Both the upper and lower ends of the limiting block are provided with slots, and one end of each of the two slots is provided with a beveled groove.

[0012] As described above, the anti-accidental touch industrial handheld operator with an external protective shell: both of the aforementioned limiting posts are engaged with the slots at the upper and lower ends of the limiting block, and the limiting block slides in conjunction with the groove.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: By installing a dedicated protective shell on the industrial handheld operator, the core function buttons can be tightly protected and effectively prevent accidental contact by personnel in industrial settings. When operation is required, simply slide it down along the preset slide rail to fully expose the function buttons, then flip the protective shell to the bottom of the handheld operator and slide it along the bottom slide rail to the appropriate position to quickly switch to working mode. This solves the drawbacks of traditional detachable protective covers being easy to lose and cumbersome to install. At the same time, the built-in elastic structure of the protective shell can automatically and precisely lock after sliding to the designated position at the bottom, ensuring that the protective shell does not accidentally shift or obstruct the operating area during operation.

[0014] The protective shell of this utility model remains connected to the handheld operator throughout the process, which simplifies the carrying and management process, and can protect the buttons and shell from wear and tear for a long time, extending the service life of the equipment and reducing maintenance costs. The overall design takes into account the reliability of protection, ease of operation and durability, and is highly adaptable to the actual needs of complex industrial operating environments.

[0027] In this embodiment, by setting a special protective mechanism on the handheld operator body 1, a tight protective cover can be formed for the button operation area 2, which can effectively isolate accidental contact by personnel in industrial scenarios and avoid accidental touch. When operation is required, the protective mechanism is slid down to fully expose the button operation area 2. Then, the protective mechanism is rotated around the fixed column 4 as the center axis to flip the protective mechanism to the bottom of the handheld operator and slide along the bottom limiting support beam 3 to the appropriate position. At the same time, the locking mechanism and the elastic fastening mechanism can lock and fix the protective mechanism that has slid to the appropriate position, which can automatically achieve precise locking and ensure that the protective shell 12 does not accidentally shift or obstruct the operation area during operation. When the mounting bracket 6 rotates with the positioning mechanism, the arc-shaped groove 7 cooperates with the limiting link 5 to limit the rotation angle of the mounting bracket 6 and the positioning mechanism.

[0028] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the positioning mechanism includes a groove 8 formed on the mounting bracket 6 and two slots 9 formed on the mounting bracket 6, both of which are connected to the same groove 8.

[0029] In this embodiment, the groove 9 on the mounting bracket 6 is connected to the grooves 8 at the upper and lower ends.

[0030] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the locking mechanism further includes a first spring 10 mounted on the groove 9 and a sliding plate mounted on the first spring 10, wherein a limit post 11 is mounted on the sliding plate.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first spring 10 is fixed on the groove 9, and the first spring 10 can elastically return the sliding plate and the limiting post 11.

[0032] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the protective mechanism includes a protective shell 12 disposed on the handheld operator body 1 and limiting protrusions 13 disposed on both sides of the protective shell 12. The protective shell 12 slides on the limiting support beams 3 on both sides of the handheld operator body 1 through the limiting protrusions 13.

[0033] In this embodiment, limiting protrusions 13 are provided on the inner sides of both ends of the protective shell 12. The limiting protrusions 13 can slide on the limiting support beam 3 and guide the protective shell 12 during the sliding process, so that the sliding process remains stable.

[0034] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the protective shell 12 is provided with four cavities 14 and sliding columns 15 that slide on the cavities 14. Each end of the sliding column 15 is equipped with a second spring 16, and both second springs 16 are installed on the cavity 14.

[0035] In this embodiment, sliding posts 15 are slidably mounted on each of the four cavities 14, and the second spring 16 can elastically return the sliding posts 15 to their original position.

[0036] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the elastic fastening mechanism includes a limiting block 17 installed on one side of the sliding column 15. The upper and lower ends of the limiting block 17 are provided with slots 18, and one end of each of the two slots 18 is provided with a beveled groove 19.

[0037] In this embodiment, the limiting block 17 is fixed to the end of the sliding column 15, and the slots 18 opened at the upper and lower ends of the limiting block 17 engage with the limiting column 11.

[0038] As a further embodiment of this utility model, both of the limiting posts 11 are engaged with the slots 18 at the upper and lower ends of the limiting block 17, and the limiting block 17 slides with the groove 8.

[0039] In this embodiment, before sliding the protective shell 12, the sliding posts 15 at both ends of the protective shell 12 are first pressed down, and the two sliding posts 15 are squeezed inward. Then, the two sliding posts 15 slide inward respectively, and the two second springs 16 on the sliding posts 15 are compressed. Then, the limiting block 17 moves, so that the inclined grooves 19 at the upper and lower ends of the limiting block 17 make hard contact with the two limiting posts 11, so that the two limiting posts 11 retract at their respective ends, and the two limiting posts 11 move out of the slots 18 at the upper and lower ends of the limiting block 17. At this time, the protective shell 12 is fully extended. The protective shell 12 is slid to unlock and then slide down a certain distance. The protective shell 12 is then rotated to the bottom of the handheld operator and slid along the bottom limiting support beam 3 to the appropriate position. Then the limiting block 17 passes between the two limiting posts 11. Finally, the two limiting posts 11 are elastically reset by the first spring 10. The two limiting posts 11 are respectively locked into the slots 18 at the upper and lower ends of the limiting block 17 to lock and fix the protective shell 12. It can automatically achieve precise locking and ensure that the protective shell 12 does not accidentally shift or obstruct the operating area during operation.
