[0027] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 to Figure 4 , a sensor locking and mounting mechanism 10 is used to be installed on the connecting rod 5 of the cylinder. Specifically, the sensor locking and mounting mechanism includes a mounting seat 100, a connecting seat 200, a clamping member 300 and a locking member 400. The mounting seat 100 is provided with a fixing member 500 for fixing the mounting seat 100 on the connecting rod 500 of the cylinder. A mounting position 101 is extended at the end of the mounting seat 100, and the connecting seat 200 is connected to the mounting seat 100 for relative rotation. The connecting seat 200 is provided with a mounting groove 201 for installing the sensor. The clamping member 300 is provided on the connecting seat 200, and is used to clamp the sensor in the mounting groove 201. The locking member 400 is used to lock the connecting seat 200 on the mounting seat 100 after rotating to adjust the angle.

[0028] The sensor locking and mounting mechanism 10 of this embodiment, when the sensor is installed on the outside of the cylinder, the mounting seat 100 is connected to the connecting rod 5 of the cylinder, and the mounting seat 100 is locked to the connecting rod 5 fixed to the cylinder by the fixing member 500. By rotating the connecting seat 200, the bottom surface of the connecting seat 200 is attached to the surface of the cylinder body 1 of the cylinder; and then the connecting seat 200 is locked and fixed to the mounting seat 100 by the locking member 400 to prevent the connecting seat 200 from loosening. After the sensor is installed in the mounting groove 201, the sensor is prevented from loosening, thereby effectively ensuring the stability of the sensor sensing. In addition, the sensor locking and mounting mechanism can adapt to cylinders of different sizes and structures.

[0029] Further, refer to Figures 2 to 4The sensor locking and mounting mechanism 10 further includes a connecting shaft 600, the connecting shaft 600 is connected to the mounting position 101, the connecting seat 200 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 600, and the locking member 400 is disposed on the connecting seat 200, and is used to fix the connecting seat 200 on the connecting shaft 600 and squeeze the pressing member 300 to press the sensor disposed in the mounting groove 201. In this embodiment, after the bottom of the connecting seat 200 is in contact with the surface of the cylinder body 1 of the cylinder, the locking member 400 locks the connecting seat 200 on the connecting shaft 600 and locks the pressing member 300 at the same time, so that the pressing member 300 presses and limits the sensor in the mounting groove 201, which is more convenient for the installation and removal of the sensor.

[0030] Specifically, refer to Figures 2 to 4 The connection seat 200 is provided with a clamping groove 202 clamped on the connection shaft 600. The clamping groove 202 forms an upper clamping arm and a lower clamping arm on the connection seat 200. The top surface of the installation groove 201 is an open structure. The pressing member 300 is attached to the upper surface of the connection seat 200, and one end extends to the mouth of the installation groove 201, which is used to limit the position of the sensor set in the installation groove 201. The locking member 400 passes through the pressing member 300 and the upper clamping arm of the clamping groove 202 in sequence, and is connected to the lower clamping arm of the clamping groove 202, which is used to squeeze the clamping groove 202 to clamp the connection shaft 600 and press the pressing member 300 to limit the position of the sensor set in the installation groove 201. Specifically, when the clamping groove 202 is clamped on the connecting shaft 600, the locking member 400 tightens the upper clamping arm and the lower clamping arm, thereby causing the upper clamping arm and the lower clamping arm to clamp the connecting shaft 600, and at the same time, the locking member 400 presses the pressing member 300 on the upper surface of the connecting seat 200, and the end of the pressing member 300 presses the sensor into the mounting groove 201.

[0031] Furthermore, the side wall of the connection seat 200 extends outwardly with a connection portion 203, and the clamping groove 202 is provided on the connection portion 203. In this embodiment, it is not only convenient for the connection seat 200 to be connected with the connection shaft 600, but also convenient for the upper and lower clamping arms to deform when the locking member 400 squeezes the clamping groove 202, thereby generating a larger clamping force.

[0032] Further, refer to Figures 2 to 4 The upper surface of the connecting seat 200 is also provided with a positioning notch (not shown in the figure), and one end of the clamping member 300 is positioned in the positioning notch. The two sides of the clamping member 300 are bent downward to wrap the upper clamping arm with a first limiting plate 301. In this embodiment, the clamping member 300 is positioned on the connecting seat 200 by the positioning notch and the first limiting plate 301 to prevent the connecting seat 200 from loosening.

[0033] Further, refer to Figures 2 to 4The bottom of the connecting seat 200 is also provided with a reinforcing bottom sheet 700, and the locking member

[0034] 400 passes through the clamping member 300, the upper clamping arm and the lower clamping arm in sequence and is connected to the reinforcing bottom plate 700. In this embodiment, the clamping member 300 and the reinforcing bottom plate 700 increase the force bearing area of ​​the upper and lower clamping arms, thereby preventing the upper and lower clamping arms from being broken by concentrated squeezing force, thereby protecting the connecting seat 200.

[0035] Further, refer to Figures 2 to 4 , the two sides of the reinforcing bottom sheet 700 are bent upward to form a second limiting plate 701 that wraps the two sides of the lower clamping arm. The end of the reinforcing bottom sheet 700 away from the clamping groove 202 is bent upward to form a bending portion 702, and the upper reverse bending of the bending portion 702 is limited by a hook portion 703 on the top surface of the connecting seat 200. The outer surface of the connecting seat 200 is also provided with a recessed portion that limits the reinforcing bottom sheet 700, the bending portion 702 and the hook portion 703; so as to limit the reinforcing bottom sheet 700. The reinforcing bottom sheet 700 is bent to form the second limiting plate 701, the bending portion 702 and the hook portion 703, thereby increasing the strength of the side wall formed by the lower clamping arm and the mounting groove 201, and preventing the connecting seat 200 from breaking along the mounting groove 201 and the clamping groove 202.

[0036] Furthermore, the locking member 400 is a locking screw.

[0037] Further, refer to Figures 2 to 4 The bottom of the mounting seat 100 is provided with a hook groove 102 for clamping on the connecting rod 5 of the cylinder. The fixing member 500 is a bolt provided at one end of the mounting seat 100 for pressing on the connecting rod 5 of the cylinder. In this embodiment, after the hook groove 102 of the mounting seat 100 is hooked on the connecting rod 5, the fixing member 500 locks the mounting seat 100 on the connecting rod 5 after the angle is adjusted.

[0038] Further, refer to Figures 2 to 4 The mounting seat 100 includes two mounting plates 110 arranged opposite to each other and a connecting member 120 connected between the two mounting plates 110. The connecting seat 200 is connected between the two mounting plates 110. Specifically, the connecting shaft 600 is fixedly connected between the two mounting plates 110, the connecting seat 200 is connected to the connecting shaft 600, and the fixing member 500 is passed through the connecting member 120. When the hook groove 102 is hooked on the connecting rod 5, the connecting rod 5 is squeezed by the fixing member 500, so that the connecting rod 5 is pressed against the inner side wall of the hook groove 102.
