Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial testing bracket technology, specifically an industrial testing bracket with self-cleaning function. Background Technology

[0002] In current automated production lines and industrial environments, sensor brackets serve as crucial mounting platforms for detection devices, finding widespread application in key areas such as position detection, quality monitoring, and safety protection. Traditional industrial detection brackets typically employ a fixed structure design to mount sensing elements such as photoelectric sensors, laser rangefinders, and vision modules, enabling stable monitoring of target workpieces or operational processes. These brackets provide reliable support and positioning under normal conditions, meeting the accuracy and stability requirements of most operating scenarios.

[0003] However, in actual production processes, many testing brackets are often installed in adverse environments such as narrow, enclosed, or high-temperature areas, such as under conveyor belts, welding areas, and inside equipment hoods. Due to space constraints or the presence of high-temperature hazards in these locations, manual cleaning and maintenance are difficult and pose significant safety risks. Over time, dust, oil, welding slag, and other impurities easily accumulate on the sensor surface and bracket structure, affecting detection accuracy and response speed. In severe cases, this can lead to false positives or false negatives, thereby impacting product quality and production efficiency.

[0004] To ensure production continuity, some companies have had to increase the tolerance of their testing systems for errors, thus sacrificing testing accuracy and quality control standards to some extent. While this approach may temporarily alleviate maintenance burdens, it is detrimental to refined management and improved product consistency in the long run. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a testing stand with self-cleaning capabilities to improve the stability, reliability, and intelligence of industrial testing systems, reduce the frequency of manual intervention, and ensure the continuous and efficient operation of the testing process.

[0020] 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.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 An industrial testing bracket with self-cleaning function includes: a bracket body for mounting a testing device; a self-cleaning component mounted on the bracket body; and a control unit for controlling the cleaning action of the self-cleaning component. The self-cleaning component includes a drive mechanism and a cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism is located near the testing device. Under the control of the control unit, the drive mechanism drives the cleaning mechanism to clean the surface of the testing device. The bracket body is a metal frame structure with sufficient rigidity and stability for fixing testing equipment such as photoelectric sensors. The drive mechanism in the self-cleaning component can be a micro motor that drives a brush assembly on a guide rail via a connecting mechanism. The cleaning mechanism is fixed on the guide rail, and the cleaning path is preset and can be repeatedly executed. Driven by the control unit, the brush assembly slides along a predetermined trajectory at regular intervals to remove dust or stains from the surface of the testing device, ensuring testing accuracy. This structure can maintain the cleanliness of the equipment under high-frequency operation conditions, extending the service life of the testing device.

[0022] Specifically, the cleaning mechanism includes one or more of a brush structure, an air nozzle, or a liquid nozzle for removing dust, oil, or welding slag.

[0023] In the above solution, the cleaning unit can be equipped with flexible nylon bristles, compressed air nozzles, and cleaning fluid spray heads, which can be used in combination according to different industrial environments. For example, air nozzles are preferred in dusty environments, while cleaning fluid spray heads are used in oily environments. When used in combination, the bristles can first remove large particles of impurities, and then compressed air can be used to blow them away. The modular design of the bristle structure allows for quick replacement, improving maintenance efficiency.

[0024] Specifically, the drive mechanism includes a motor, cylinder, or electromagnetic actuator, used to drive the cleaning mechanism to move along a fixed trajectory on the surface of the detection device. A stepper motor is preferred for the drive mechanism, working in conjunction with a guide rail and slider structure to ensure the cleaning mechanism operates at a constant speed. Alternatively, a cylinder system can be used to drive the brush assembly in reciprocating motion, suitable for applications with simple and frequent movements. For some cleaning actions requiring rapid response, an electromagnetic push-pull actuator can be selected as the drive actuator to achieve high-frequency response within a limited space.

[0025] Specifically, the control unit communicates with the main control PLC in the industrial site and can automatically trigger cleaning actions based on a preset cycle or sensor signals. The control unit uses an embedded MCU system and has a preset communication interface to communicate with the main control PLC using Modbus or Profinet protocols. When the occlusion degree of the transparent window of the detection device exceeds a set threshold, or when the cleaning cycle is reached, the control unit receives a trigger signal from the PLC and starts the drive mechanism to perform the cleaning operation. This automatic control mechanism improves the system's intelligence level and reduces human intervention.

[0026] Specifically, the support body includes a mounting base and multiple adjustable connecting arms. The detection device can be adjusted to different angles and heights via these connecting arms. The support base employs a heavy-duty structure to ensure installation stability, while the connecting arms, through threaded locking and universal joint design, allow for free adjustment of the detection device's pitch, azimuth, and height. Users can quickly adjust the detection device's viewing angle according to the workpiece position and detection requirements, improving the adaptability of the detection range.

[0027] Specifically, the connecting arm employs a ball joint structure or a rack and pinion mechanism to achieve precise adjustment in multiple dimensions. The ball joint structure allows for 360° omnidirectional adjustment of the detection device, offering simple and intuitive operation; the rack and pinion mechanism controls the arm length and position, improving adjustment accuracy, and is particularly suitable for industrial detection scenarios requiring precise positioning in the detection direction. This combined structure enhances the device's robustness. Specifically, the support body is made of materials with high-temperature corrosion resistance to adapt to high-temperature or corrosive environments. The support body uses 316L stainless steel, titanium alloy, or aluminum alloy with an anti-corrosion coating to ensure long-term stable operation under harsh conditions such as high-temperature furnace openings and acid / alkali workshops. Material selection considers mechanical strength, weather resistance, and compatibility with cleaning media to enhance overall reliability.

[0028] Specifically, the detection device is any one of a photoelectric sensor, a laser rangefinder, or a vision module, and is mounted on the bracket body via a quick-release assembly for easy maintenance and replacement. The detection device is quickly connected to the bracket via a snap-on or sliding mounting base, eliminating the need for tool disassembly and reducing maintenance time. Depending on application requirements, different types of detection modules can be quickly replaced, such as replacing it with a laser rangefinder module to improve detection accuracy, or configuring a vision recognition system to enhance image recognition capabilities. This modular design significantly improves the system's flexibility and scalability.

[0029] Working Principle: When the detection bracket is activated, the control unit receives a cleaning command signal from the main control PLC or automatically triggers a cleaning task according to a preset time interval, activating the drive mechanism to move the cleaning mechanism along a fixed path on the surface of the detection device. The cleaning mechanism maintains close contact with the surface of the detection device or keeps a certain distance to effectively remove surface deposits such as dust, oil stains, or welding slag. The brush assembly, air nozzle, or liquid nozzle in the cleaning mechanism is selected and combined according to the site environment. After the cleaning process is completed, the drive mechanism stops moving and returns to its initial position. The entire process is executed automatically without manual intervention, thereby improving detection efficiency and stability.

[0030] As described above, although the present invention has been shown and described with reference to specific preferred embodiments, it should not be construed as limiting the present invention itself. Various changes in form and detail may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
