Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photoelectric sensor technology, specifically to a photoelectric sensor with protective functions. Background Technology

[0002] In today's era of rapid technological advancement, automated production and intelligent control have become crucial trends across various industries. The demand for precise detection and feedback systems is increasing in fields such as industrial production, robotics, and transportation. Photoelectric sensors, as vital detection components, play an irreplaceable role. However, in practical applications, photoelectric sensors often face various complex environments and challenges. For example, in industrial production environments, sensors may be affected by dust, oil, vibration, and other factors, leading to performance degradation or even damage. In harsh environments, such as high temperatures, high pressures, and strong electromagnetic interference, traditional photoelectric sensors also struggle to function properly.

[0003] In traditional photoelectric sensors with protective functions, operators would protect the photoelectric sensor with a protective cover. However, during the transportation of the photoelectric sensor, various complex road conditions and external factors can cause the photoelectric sensor to move inside the protective cover, thereby damaging the photoelectric sensor.

[0004] In view of this, we propose a photoelectric sensor with protective functions. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a photoelectric sensor with protective functions to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a photoelectric sensor with a protective function, comprising a protective mechanism, a device body disposed within the protective mechanism, and a clamping mechanism disposed within the protective mechanism, the clamping mechanism comprising:

[0007] An air pump is installed within the protective mechanism, along with a fixing block. A telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the air pump. Inside the protective mechanism, a high-performance air pump is carefully housed. This air pump has undergone rigorous quality testing and debugging to ensure stable power output. The output end of the air pump is tightly connected to the telescopic rod, which is made of robust and durable materials and possesses excellent telescopic performance. When the air pump is activated, the powerful air pressure propels the telescopic rod to extend or retract rapidly and smoothly, facilitating subsequent clamping movements. The telescopic rod provides a precise power source. A block is fixedly installed at the end of the telescopic rod away from the air pump. A fixing post is fixedly installed on the side surface of the block. The block is firmly fixed at the end of the telescopic rod away from the air pump. The block is precision-machined with a smooth surface to ensure good fit with other components. Multiple sets of fixing posts are neatly fixed on the side surface of the block. These fixing posts are made of high-strength metal and have been finely polished and treated. They not only have good wear resistance but also can achieve precise sliding fit with other components.

[0008] A slider is fixedly mounted on the surface of the fixed block. A small post is fixedly mounted on the side surface of the slider. A slider with an ingenious design and a specially treated surface exhibiting a low coefficient of friction allows it to slide smoothly on the fixed block. Multiple sets of small posts are symmetrically fixed on the side surface of the slider. These posts, also made of robust materials, provide stable support for the installation and movement of the movable rod. A movable rod is movably mounted on the surface of each small post, with a movable groove at one end. The movable rod is made of a lightweight yet robust material, allowing for flexible rotation and movement. The movable groove at one end of the rod is precisely calculated to perfectly match the fixed post on the block, enabling the fixed post to slide smoothly within the groove. A movable block is slidably connected to the surface of the slider.

[0009] A clamping block is fixedly installed on the surface of the movable block, a cylinder is fixedly installed on the side surface of the movable block, a support leg is fixedly installed on the surface of the fixed block, and a worktable is fixedly installed on the surface of the support leg.

[0010] Preferably, the protection mechanism is equipped with a heat dissipation mechanism, and a servo motor is fixedly installed on the side surface of the protection mechanism, with a rotating rod fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor.

[0011] Preferably, a short column is fixedly installed on the surface of the end of the rotating rod away from the servo motor, a sliding rod is slidably connected to the surface of the short column, and a connecting block is fixedly installed on the side surface of the sliding rod.

[0012] Preferably, a short rod is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting block away from the sliding rod, a protrusion is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the protection mechanism, and a heat sink is fixedly installed on the surface of the short rod.

[0013] Preferably, a sensor door mechanism is provided on the outer side of the protection mechanism, a small block is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the protection mechanism, and a temperature sensor is fixedly installed on the side surface of the small block.

[0014] Preferably, a small motor is fixedly installed inside the small block, and a rotating column is fixedly connected to the output end of the small motor. A gear is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating column.

[0015] Preferably, a long block is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the protection mechanism, and a movable door is slidably connected to the surface of the long block.

[0016] Preferably, a large rack is fixedly installed on the surface of the movable door, an upper rack meshes with the outer surface of the gear, and a vertical block is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the end of the upper rack away from the gear.

[0017] Preferably, the fixed post is slidably fitted to the movable groove, the number of fixed posts is multiple sets and they are mirror-distributed on the side surface of the block, and the number of small posts is multiple sets and they are mirror-distributed on the side surface of the slider.

[0018] Preferably, there are multiple sets of movable blocks that are slidably connected to the slider, multiple sets of clamping blocks that are fixedly mounted on the surface of the movable blocks, and multiple sets of cylinders that are distributed on both sides of the movable blocks.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a photoelectric sensor with protective function, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. This photoelectric sensor with protective function is equipped with a clamping mechanism to better fix the photoelectric sensor. This mechanism works in conjunction with the movement of an air pump, a telescopic rod, a block, a fixed column, a movable rod, a moving block, a clamping block, and a worktable. When the air pump is started, it will move the block in conjunction with the telescopic rod. The movement of the block will then move the movable rod in conjunction with the fixed column. Finally, the movement of the movable rod will then move the clamping block in conjunction with the moving block, thereby fixing the photoelectric sensor.

[0021] 2. This photoelectric sensor with protection function has a heat dissipation mechanism to improve heat dissipation within the protection mechanism. This mechanism works in conjunction with the movement of the servo motor, rotating rod, short column, sliding rod, connecting block, and heat sink. When the servo motor starts, it works with the rotating rod to move the short column. The movement of the short column works with the sliding rod to move the connecting block. The movement of the connecting block works with the short rod to move the heat sink, thereby achieving heat dissipation within the protection mechanism.

[0022] 3. This photoelectric sensor with protection function is designed to better protect the photoelectric sensor within the protection mechanism by incorporating a sensor door mechanism. This mechanism works in conjunction with the movement of a temperature sensor, a small motor, a rotating column, gears, a sliding door, a large rack, and an upper rack. When the small motor starts, it works with the rotating column to drive the gears. The movement of the gears then works with the large rack and upper rack, which in turn drive the sliding door, thereby further protecting the photoelectric sensor. Attached Figure Description

The connecting block 45 then slides within the protrusion 47, which in turn causes the short rod 46 to move. This movement of the short rod 46 then causes the heat sink 48 to move, thus achieving heat dissipation within the protection mechanism 1. When the temperature sensor 51 is activated, it activates the small motor 53, which in turn causes the rotating column 54 to move. This movement of the rotating column 54 causes the gear 55 to rotate, which in turn causes the large rack 58 and the upper rack 511 to move. This movement of the large rack 58 and the upper rack 511 causes the sliding door 57 to slide on the long block 56, thus opening and closing the protection mechanism 1.
