Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement of a plug-in module in the housing of a data processing device in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.
  • a housing of the type mentioned for a PC-based data processing device is known from WO 95/14367 AI.
  • a base circuit board is arranged parallel to the base plate of the housing, on which a PC bus connection card aligned perpendicular to it is attached. This is equipped with two connectors, into each of which an additional printed circuit board built according to the PC standard can be inserted.
  • the circuit boards are aligned parallel to the base circuit board.
  • Additional printed circuit boards according to the PC standard can be designed as long or partial cards, depending on the space required. You only have to use the same edge connector, which is used to connect the respective additional circuit board to the PC bus.
  • Known PC bus connection cards also only have a width corresponding to the connector.
  • a housing of a PC-based data processing device must have a depth which allows a long card to be accommodated. The space not occupied by the - narrower - PC bus connection card is therefore not used.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a PC-based data processing device, the housing volume of which can be used more effectively.
  • a bus connector is attached to the PC bus connection card in such a way that it allows the accommodation of an additional plug-in module in the otherwise unused space.
  • the bus connector is aligned with its insertion direction in such a way that a plug-in module held therein is arranged parallel to the surface of the PC bus connection card, and the cable connector and / or the display element and / or the control element of the plug-in module is cut through an opening in the front or rear wall of the housing is accessible.
  • the arrangement has the advantage that the plug-in module does not have to be constructed in accordance with the PC standard, by means of which, among other things, the arrangement of cable connecting plugs is fixed on a standardized card cover.
  • a plug-in module can accommodate, for example, special electronic circuits, by means of which a data processing device, which is otherwise constructed like a PC, becomes a specialized control device.
  • driver circuits for controlling a cash register drawer, a customer display, a shop scale or other cash register-specific assemblies can be arranged on the plug-in module in question, by means of which a PC becomes a cash register control unit.
  • the arrangement according to the invention allows the connection of cables to the plug-in module in the usual way.
  • the invention also allows a bus connector to be attached to both sides of the PC bus connection card.
  • a bus connector to be attached to both sides of the PC bus connection card.
  • two plug-in modules can be arranged closely next to one another.
  • the PC bus connection card can also be used as a shield and in particular serve the insulation between the two, so that precise guidance of the plug-in modules in guide rails is unnecessary.
  • a first bus connector is mounted on the same side of the PC-bus connection card as the at least one connector and a second and a third bus connector on the opposite side of the PC-bus connection card, the insertion side of the first and second bus connectors to the front wall and the insertion side of the third bus connector to the rear wall of the housing.
  • the bus plug connectors facing the front wall of the housing can also accommodate plug-in modules which carry display or operating elements instead of or in addition to the cable connection plug. These can then be seen and operated on the front of the data processing device.
  • an opening which can be closed by a flap is arranged in the front wall and / or the rear wall of the housing, through which opening the plug-in module can be inserted into the bus connector. This allows a plug-in module to be changed quickly without having to open the housing.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a PC-based data processing device with components installed therein,
  • Fig. 2 shows a section of Fig. 1 in a sectional view.
  • 1 shows a PC-based data processing device 10 with a cuboid housing 12.
  • the housing 12 comprises a bottom 14, a cover plate 16, side walls 17, a front wall 18 and a rear wall 20.
  • a base circuit board 22 carrying a processor assembly is installed in the housing 12 parallel to the base 14 and at a short distance from it.
  • a first plug connector 24 is arranged on the base circuit board 22 in such a way that a PC bus connection card 26 inserted into it is aligned parallel to the side walls 17.
  • the PC bus connection card 26 is equipped with second connectors 28. It is also possible to construct the data processing device 10 according to the so-called split-board technique, in which a base circuit board is dispensed with.
  • the processor assembly is then built on a circuit board which is inserted into one of the second plug connectors 28 of the PC bus connection card 26.
  • Additional printed circuit boards 30 are inserted into the second plug connector 28 such that they are aligned parallel to the base printed circuit board 22.
  • the additional printed circuit boards are provided with a PC card cover 32 according to the PC standard, which are accessible through openings in a likewise standardized connection field in the rear wall 20 of the housing 12.
  • the standardized elements are known and are therefore not further shown and described.
  • the PC bus connection card 26 On the side 34 of the PC bus connection card 26, which also carries the second plug connector 28, there is a first bus plug connector 36 and on the opposite side of the PC bus connection card 26 there is a second bus plug connector 38 and a third bus connector 40 attached.
  • the insertion side of the first and the second bus connector 36, 38 faces the front wall 18 and the insertion side of the third bus connector 40 to the rear wall 20 of the housing 12. If the PC bus connection card 26 is to be fitted with second connectors 28 on both sides, the third bus connector 40 must of course be omitted.
  • a plug-in module 42, 44, 46 is inserted or can be inserted.
  • the latter are of such a length that they end with their trailing edge 42 ', 44' and 46 'as seen in the direction of insertion directly at the front wall 18 and the rear wall 20 of the housing 12.
  • a cable connector 48, an operating element 50 and display element 52 are attached to each plug-in module 42, 44, 46. These are accessible through corresponding openings, not shown in FIG. 1, in the front wall 18 or the rear wall 20.
  • the equipment of the plug-in modules 42, 44, 46 shown in FIG. 1 with cable connection plugs 48, control elements 50 and display elements 52 is only to be understood as an example. Any other or a missing assembly is possible.
  • FIG. 2 shows a section of the data processing device 10 shown in FIG. 1 schematically in a sectional perspective view.
  • An opening 54 is cut out of the front wall 18, through which an additional plug-in module 58 equipped with a front panel 56 can be inserted into the second bus connector 38.
  • the opening 54 is surrounded by a mounting frame 60 provided at the top and bottom with a threaded hole 62. With these, the further plug-in module 58 can be screwed after insertion.
  • a cable connector 48 'and a display element 52' are installed in the front panel 56.
  • the opening 54 can be closed by a flap 64 which can be pivoted in the direction of arrow A between the open position shown in FIG. 2 and a closed position.
  • the opening can also be so large that more than one plug-in module can be inserted through it into the data processing device 10.
  • a similarly designed opening, which can also be closed by a flap if required, can also be provided in the rear wall 20.
