Description

The invention relates to instrumentation, in particular to the design of control panels of electronic equipment (REA).

In modern REA complexes for various purposes, saturated with a large number of computing and electronic devices, a wide range of functional requirements are presented to control panels:

- software on-off equipment;

- operational management of the equipment during its operation as intended;

- management of hardware settings;

- management of the modes of operation of the equipment during the training of staff;

- control of the operating modes of the equipment while monitoring its operability and troubleshooting;

- ensuring the convenience of maintenance directly to the control panel.

To fulfill these requirements when designing control panels, it is necessary to provide sufficient areas and volumes to accommodate the required number of control and indication bodies and auxiliary equipment blocks, as well as free access to the devices included in the control panel.

Known devices for a similar purpose [1, 2, 3] have a number of disadvantages, such as small areas and volumes to accommodate the necessary controls and displays and blocks of auxiliary equipment, as well as difficult access to some devices that are part of the control panel. All this limits the functionality of known devices.

The closest set of features and functions to the present invention is a control panel [3], containing a frame with electronic modules installed in its lower part and located in the moving middle part of the tabletop and video monitor, which is mounted on hinges. On the upper fixed part of the frame, a removable unit can be rigidly fixed. The prototype design allows you to rotate the countertop with a video monitor (moving part of the remote control) only down, which provides access to the video monitor and connectors for external communications. The prototype does not provide free access to electronic units installed in the lower part of the remote control. Other disadvantages of the prototype are similar to the disadvantages of the above known devices.

The technical result of the claimed invention is to expand the functionality of the REA control panel.

To achieve this result, a REA control panel containing a frame with electronic modules, a video monitor, a countertop and a removable unit has introduced a special mechanism for fixing and rotating the countertop, a movable part of the countertop and telescopic guides of electronic modules, a video monitor and a movable part of the countertop.

The invention is illustrated by drawings, where Fig. 1 shows a remote control with a sliding part of a tabletop, Fig. 2 - a remote control with a tabletop folded up and an extended electronic module, Fig. 3 - a remote control with a tabletop folded down and a video monitor extended.

The control panel contains a frame 1 made of standard aluminum profiles, to which a tabletop 2 is attached using a fastening and turning mechanism 3. In the frame 1 there are electronic modules 4 and a video monitor 5 located on telescopic rails 6. A rod 7 is fixed to the side wall of the frame 1 with which the tabletop 2 is fixed in the upper position.

If necessary, a removable block 8 is mounted on the upper part of the frame 1. The tabletop 2 contains a movable part 9, which is located on telescopic rails, is fixed by a latch 10 and covered with a cover 14.

On the rear vertical surface of the countertop 2, on the electronic modules 4, the video monitor 5, the movable part 9 of the countertop 2, connectors 11 with cables 12 are placed. On the inclined part of the countertop 2 there are operational controls and indications, for example, on and off buttons, a keyboard, a ball mechanism, communication equipment, etc., on the moving part 9 of the tabletop 2 controls and indicators are located when setting up and monitoring the operability of the equipment, troubleshooting and partially during training, such as a keyboard, switch “work-simulator” reader, graphic manipulator, antenna orientation device, etc.

Structurally, the attachment and rotation mechanism 3 of the tabletop 2 contains two brackets, two upper and lower spring-loaded axes and two angles-catchers, and the brackets with holes for fixing the axes and with a groove for fixing the angles-catchers are attached to the console frame, and the spring-loaded axes and angles are catchers - to the countertop. To the movable part 9 of the countertop 2, made of aluminum sheet material, a rod is attached to the rear to hold the cables. Telescopic guides 6 consist of steel links with grooves into which standard metal balls are filled. The standard set screws are used to hold the balls in the groove. The rod 7 is made of stainless steel, has a curly groove at the end for approaching the axis of the axle 13, mounted on the countertop 2.

The proposed remote control CEA works as follows.

When operating the CEA for its intended purpose and partially during the training, operational controls and indications located on the inclined part of the countertop 2 are used.

When setting up, monitoring the operability, troubleshooting, and partially during the training, the controls and indicators located on the extended movable part 9 of the tabletop 2, as well as the removable unit 8, are used. A number of works can be performed without sliding the movable part 9 of the tabletop 2, and lifting it up cover 14.

If it is necessary to service the electronic modules 4, the tabletop 2 is rotated by the fastening and turning mechanism 3 upwards and fixed using the rod 7, while this facilitates the easy extension of the electronic modules 4 using telescopic guides 6 and access to their connectors 11 and cables 12.

If it is necessary to service the video monitor 5, the countertop 2 is rotated by the fastening and turning mechanism 3 downwards, while the video monitor 5 is easily pulled out on the telescopic guides 6 to access the connectors and cables of the video monitor 5.

Thus, the introduction into the REA control panel of the fastening and turning mechanism 3, the movable part 9 of the tabletop 2 and the telescopic guides 6 allows you to expand the functionality of the REA control panel.
