[0018] Example: Figure 1It is a ship auxiliary control box, including a panel 3, on which a control area is provided, and also including an outer shell 1 and two side plates 2. The outer shell 1 includes a back plate 11 perpendicular to each other and two bottom plates 12. The side plates 2 include side main plates 21 perpendicular to each other and bent plates 22. The side main plates 21 are located on both sides of the outer shell 1, and the bent plates 22 are parallel to the back plate 11 and extend into the interior of the outer shell 1. The panel 3 is located on the front end of the outer shell 1.

[0019] This utility model proposes a novel box design for ship control boxes, separating the outer shell from two side plates and one front panel, and connecting them with bolts or rivets. The control buttons are placed on the front panel, and the interfaces are placed on the two side plates, which facilitates control and connection to external equipment cables. The entire box structure is compact, integrating the control buttons into one box for easy control.

[0020] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the outer casing and side panels. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the outer casing. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 The enlarged schematic diagram shows that the back plate 11 and the two base plates 12 form a U-shaped frame, and fixing strips 13 are provided on both sides. The fixing strips 13 are U-shaped, and a blank area with a distance of L1 is formed between the outer edge of the fixing strip 13 and the outer end face of the base plate 12. The side main plate 21 is located in the blank area, that is, the side main plate 21 is located outside the fixing strip 13. The fixing strip 13 is provided with hole 15, and the side main plate 21 is provided with hole 26. Hole 15 and hole 26 are fixedly connected.

[0021] The outer shell has a U-shaped structure, with two side panels fastened together on both sides to form a cavity structure. The internal cavity is used to install PCB circuit boards, buttons, etc. The outer shell and the side panels are separate structures, which facilitates the installation of PCB circuit boards and buttons. The outer shell is reinforced with fixing strips to improve strength, and the fixing strips also serve as the base for mounting the side panels, improving the connection strength. The fixing strips and the outer shell are integrally molded, resulting in better strength. The fixing strips are not aligned with the edges of the outer shell, forming a blank area. The side body plate 21 of the side panel 2 is attached to this area and fastened, so that the side panel 2 is covered by the outer shell 1, and the side panel is not exposed, resulting in a tighter connection and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0022] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the side panel. Figure 6 yes Figure 5 The right view, Figure 7 yes Figure 2 A magnified view of a portion of the diagram. Figure 8This is a schematic diagram of the panel. The side main plate 21 is provided with an avoidance groove 25, the fixing strip 13 is provided with a hole 14, the panel 3 is provided with a connecting strip 31, the connecting strip 31 is provided with a hole 32, and the hole 32 is fixedly connected to the hole 14.

[0023] This utility model features an avoidance groove to facilitate a secure connection between the panel and the outer casing and prevent interference.

[0024] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 6 The height of the bending plate 22 is L4, and the inner diameter height of the fixing strip 13 is L3, where L4 is less than L3.

[0025] During installation, the bent plate 22 is inserted from the side of the outer casing 1, so that the bent plate 22 enters the inner side of the fixing strip, while the side main body plate 21 is located on the outer side of the fixing strip, forming as follows: Figure 2 The structure shown has a bending plate located on the inside, which makes it easier to install PCB circuit boards. The bending plate and the side plate are integrated into one structure, replacing the previous solution of fixing a separate mounting plate inside the casing to install the circuit board. This utility model has better strength, and the integration of the bending plate and the side plate makes the installation of the circuit board more secure and reliable.

[0026] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 6 The distance between the side main plate 21 and the bending plate 22 is L2, and the width of the fixing strip 13 is L5, where L5 is greater than L2.

[0027] The side main body plate 21 is located on the outside of the fixing strip, serving as a baffle and cover to block the internal structure of the outer shell, providing better sealing, a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, and facilitating fixed connection with the outer shell.

[0028] The side main plate 21 is provided with an interface groove 24 for installing the interface 4, and the bent plate 22 is provided with a connecting post 23 for installing the PCB board (not shown).

[0029] like Figure 8 As shown, the panel has multiple mounting ports for mounting various buttons. The pressing position of the button is assembled in the mounting port, and the inside of the button is located inside the housing. It is connected to the PCB board or interface via a cable. These connection methods are existing technologies.

[0030] The control area of ​​panel 3 includes a driving mode switching knob, a brightness adjustment indicator, an alarm buzzer, a system emergency stop button, a USB interface, a display / switch button, and multiple servo / main engine confirmation buttons. These buttons are electrically connected to the internal PCB circuit board and are used to control the ship's servo and main engine. The buttons and their connection to the PCB circuit board are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
