The application relates to the field of automatic detection sensors, in particular to an ultrathin area light curtain sensor which comprises a light
projector, a light
receiver and a warning mechanism, the light
projector comprises a base, a circuit board, an
infrared beam emitter, a rotating rod and an adjusting
assembly, one end of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the base, the other end of the rotating rod away from the base is rotationally connected to the circuit board, the adjusting
assembly is used for driving the rotating rod to rotate, the circuit board is fixedly connected with the
infrared beam emitter on the side away from the base, a
Fresnel lens is fixedly connected to the side of the
infrared beam emitter away from the base, infrared light beams emitted by the
infrared beam emitter pass through the
Fresnel lens and are output to infrared receiving photoelectric devices, the warning mechanism is electrically connected to the circuit board, and the warning mechanism is used for issuing a
signal to warn a user. The application has the effect that the mounting frame can easily receive infrared light beams when being inclined, the effectiveness of the infrared light beams is guaranteed, and the application range of the light curtain sensor is increased.
