Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial control computer technology, specifically to a heating structure for an industrial control computer. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial control computers (ICCs) are a product of the deep integration of computer technology and industrial automation. Through hardware hardening, software optimization, and functional expansion, they enable real-time monitoring, data acquisition, logic control, motion control, and human-machine interaction of industrial equipment, production processes, or systems. They serve as both the "brain" of industrial automation systems and a bridge connecting the physical and digital worlds.

[0003] Industrial PCs typically operate under high loads, extreme high or low temperatures, such as on highways, production lines, data centers, or environmental monitoring equipment. Generally, overheating caused by environmental or machine heat can have a significant impact on the machine. However, it's important to note that many industrial PCs operate in extremely harsh environments, including not only high-temperature environments but also low-temperature freezing environments, as seen in northern my country. In such cases, high temperature is not the primary factor affecting the performance of industrial PCs. Most industrial PCs operate within a temperature range of -20 to 60 degrees Celsius. Below -20 degrees Celsius, they struggle to start and cannot function properly. Currently, industrial PCs designed for low-temperature environments often use wide-temperature CPUs. While these CPUs can solve the problem of the PC failing to start in low-temperature environments, they also significantly reduce the performance of storage devices and increase operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a heating structure for an industrial control computer to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an industrial control computer heating structure, including a heat dissipation shell, and further comprising: A heating component is disposed inside a heat dissipation housing. The heating component includes a temperature sensor disposed inside the heat dissipation housing. A controller mechanism is disposed inside the heat dissipation housing. A heating element is disposed inside the heat dissipation housing. A heat-conducting copper pipe is disposed inside the heat dissipation housing.

[0006] Preferably, the temperature sensor has a positioning pin inside, and the heat dissipation housing has a placement groove inside the heat-conducting copper tube.

[0007] Preferably, a first heat sink is provided on one side of the inner wall of the heat sink housing, and a second heat sink is provided inside the heat sink housing.

[0008] Preferably, the temperature sensor has an internal mounting bolt, and a fixing tube is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the heat dissipation housing.

[0009] Preferably, a sliding rod is slidably connected inside the fixed tube, and a spring is welded to one side of the inner wall of the fixed tube.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the spring is welded to one end of the sliding rod, and a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod away from the spring.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention combines a heating component with a heat dissipation channel and a heating channel to form a unique heat flow path. The intermediate heat-conducting copper pipe can both conduct heat away when heat dissipation is needed and conduct the temperature of the heating element to the machine when the ambient temperature is too low and heating is required. This saves material costs, allows the machine to work normally in low-temperature environments, and facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the heating element by staff, thus reducing operating costs.

[0014] 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.

[0015] Please see Figures 1-4As shown, an industrial control computer heating structure includes a heat dissipation shell 1. Under the action of the heat dissipation shell 1, the heat generated by the heating element 203 can be absorbed and then dissipated into the interior of the machine, which helps the operation of other components. It also includes: Heating component 2, under the action of heating component 2, enables the industrial control computer to work normally under low temperature conditions. It is installed inside the heat dissipation housing 1. Heating component 2 includes a temperature sensor 201 installed inside the heat dissipation housing 1. Temperature sensor 201 can detect the internal temperature of the machine. Temperature sensor 201 is an onboard sensor. A controller mechanism 202 is installed inside the heat dissipation housing 1. Heating element 203 is installed inside the heat dissipation housing 1. Heating element 203 generates heat. When current passes through heating element 203, electrical energy is converted into heat energy due to resistance. Its structure consists of an insulating layer, a conductive heating layer, and a thermistor. A heat-conducting copper pipe 204 is installed inside the heat dissipation housing 1. The heat generated by heating element 203 is transferred to the heat dissipation housing 1 through the heat-conducting copper pipe 204. The temperature sensor 201 monitors the ambient temperature in real time and transmits the data to an independent microcontroller unit. The microcontroller unit synchronously detects the working status of the controller mechanism 202. When both conditions are met—temperature below -20°C and controller mechanism 202 not activated—the heating element 203 is powered on and heats up. Once the microcontroller unit detects that controller mechanism 202 has been successfully activated, it immediately cuts off the power supply to the heating element 203, thereby achieving automatic and precise control of the heating process and ensuring reliable startup and operation of the equipment in low-temperature environments. The microcontroller unit is connected to the temperature sensor 201 and the heating element 203 via wires. The above should be considered prior art. The specific structure, working principle, and possible control methods and spatial arrangements of these technical features can be selected using conventional methods in the field. This technical solution will not be further elaborated in detail.

[0016] The temperature sensor 201 is equipped with a positioning bolt 3 inside. Under the action of the positioning bolt 3 and the mounting bolt 7, the temperature sensor 201 can be positioned and installed, which facilitates the maintenance and disassembly of the temperature sensor 201 by the staff. The heat dissipation shell 1 is provided with a placement groove 4 inside the heat-conducting copper pipe 204. Under the action of the placement groove 4, the heat-conducting copper pipe 204 can be placed. A first heat dissipation fin 5 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the heat dissipation shell 1, and a second heat dissipation fin 6 is provided inside the heat dissipation shell 1. The placement density of the first heat dissipation fin 5 is relatively high, which can make the temperature of the temperature sensor 201 and the controller mechanism 202 rise rapidly. The temperature sensor 201 is equipped with a mounting bolt 7 inside. A fixing pipe 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the heat dissipation shell 1. Under the action of the fixing pipe 8, the spring 9 can be placed, and the sliding rod 10 has a certain space and range of movement. A sliding rod 10 is slidably connected inside the fixed tube 8. A spring 9 is welded to one side of the inner wall of the fixed tube 8. One end of the spring 9 is welded to one end of the sliding rod 10. A fixed plate 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod 10 away from the spring 9. Under the elastic force of the spring 9, the heating element 203 can be made to come into close contact with the heat-conducting copper tube 204. At the same time, under the elastic force of the spring 9, the slight deformation of both under high temperature conditions can be overcome.

[0017] Working principle: When in use, this device uses the onboard temperature sensor 201 on the PCBA to detect the ambient temperature inside the machine. When the ambient temperature is below -20 degrees Celsius and the controller mechanism 202 fails to start normally, the heating element 203 is energized under the action of the microcontroller unit, causing the heating elements 203 on both sides of the controller mechanism 202 to work. Under the action of the two heating elements 203, the temperature around the controller mechanism 202 can rise, thereby enabling the controller mechanism 202 to start quickly. At the same time, some heat is transferred to the heat dissipation shell 1 through the heat conduction copper pipe 204. Under the action of the heat dissipation shell 1, the heat is quickly dissipated into the interior of the machine, which helps the operation of other components. After the machine is working normally, the heating element 203 stops working under the action of the microcontroller unit.
