Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clamps, and in particular to a clamp that facilitates fine-tuning of the sensor mounting angle. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of industrial automation, intelligent manufacturing, and precision measurement technologies, sensors are increasingly widely used in various types of equipment. The installation accuracy of sensors directly affects the detection performance and stability of the system.

[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects exist: existing sensor clamps mostly achieve horizontal angle adjustment by fixing with screws or clips, which requires repeated disassembly and assembly of the sensor or clamp components during operation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and therefore needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a fixing fixture that facilitates fine-tuning of the sensor mounting angle, aiming to solve the aforementioned problems.

[0005] A sensor mounting angle fine-tuning fixture includes a base, a fixing post connected to the base, a mounting plate rotatably connected to the fixing post, a mounting seat for placing the sensor rotatably connected to the mounting plate, a mounting rod connected to the mounting plate, a fixing component for fixing the sensor to the mounting seat mounted on the mounting rod, a locking seat slidably connected to the base, a sliding annular groove for the locking seat to engage and slide around the axis of the fixing post on the base, a plurality of locking slots for the locking seat to slide into spaced circumferentially on the inner sidewall of the sliding annular groove, a locking rod connected to the locking seat, and an elongated hole for the locking rod to pass through and slide on the mounting plate.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the sensor is first placed on the mounting base and fixed with a fastener. Then, the locking seat is pulled into the sliding ring groove, the mounting plate is rotated, the orientation of the sensor is adjusted, and then the locking seat is pushed into the locking groove to restrict the rotation of the mounting plate. This allows for quick adjustment of the sensor angle, which is simple to operate and saves time and effort.

[0007] Optionally, the outer side wall of the mounting base is connected to a limiting ring in the circumferential direction, and the limiting ring is provided with a plurality of locking holes spaced apart in the circumferential direction for the locking rod to be engaged.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, after adjusting the angle of the mounting base, the locking rod can be inserted into the corresponding locking hole to restrict the rotation of the mounting base.

[0009] Optionally, the limiting ring is circumferentially connected to a flexible fastening pad on the side facing the mounting plate, and the mounting plate is connected to a flexible fastening block. The fastening pad is provided with a plurality of fastening grooves spaced apart circumferentially for the fastening block to be inserted.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the mounting base is rotated, the fastening blocks are sequentially inserted into each fastening groove, thus creating a segmented feel, which makes it easy for people to fine-tune the adjustment angle of the mounting base; in addition, after the fastening blocks are inserted into the fastening grooves, the locking holes can be aligned with the locking rods, so that the locking rods can be inserted into the locking holes.

[0011] Optionally, a locking plate is connected to the locking rod, and the locking plate has a positioning hole for the fastening block to be inserted.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the locking rod is inserted into the locking hole, the locking piece is inserted between the fastening block and the fastening pad, and at the same time the fastening block is inserted into the positioning hole on the locking piece, thereby fixing the locking piece and improving the connection firmness of the locking rod in the locking hole.

[0013] Optionally, a reset block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the elongated hole, and a reset spring is connected between the reset block and the inner wall of the end of the elongated hole.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the reset block can quickly push the locking rod under the action of the reset spring, so that the locking rod can quickly be inserted into the locking hole, thereby improving the locking efficiency.

[0015] Optionally, the fixing component includes a fixing seat and a fixing spring. The fixing seat is mounted on the mounting rod. The fixing seat has a mounting groove for inserting one end of the fixing spring. The fixing seat is threaded with a mounting bolt. The bolt thread passes through the mounting groove. One end of the fixing spring has a through hole for the mounting bolt to pass through.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing spring has good elasticity. One end of the fixing spring can press the sensor onto the mounting base, thereby preventing the sensor from falling off. When the fixing spring is accidentally damaged, the fixing spring can be removed from the mounting slot simply by unscrewing the mounting bolt, making it easy to replace the fixing spring individually.

[0017] Optionally, the fixing seat has an adjustment hole for the mounting rod to pass through, and an adjustment bolt is threaded onto the fixing seat. One end of the adjustment bolt extends into the adjustment hole and abuts against the outer side wall of the mounting rod.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjusting bolt is loosened so that one end of the adjusting bolt is no longer pressed against the outer wall of the mounting rod, thereby allowing the fixing seat to move relative to the mounting rod. After adjusting the position of the fixing seat, the adjusting bolt is tightened so that the adjusting bolt presses against the outer wall of the mounting rod, thereby fixing the fixing seat on the mounting rod.

[0019] Optionally, the locking piece is rotatably connected to the locking rod, and a limiting rod is provided on the mounting rod. The limiting rod rotates relative to the mounting rod. One end of the limiting rod is connected to a limiting block for engaging with the positioning hole, and the other end is connected to a connecting block for rotating the limiting rod.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting block is rotated, and the connecting block drives the limiting block to rotate through the limiting rod. The limiting block is then engaged in the elongated hole on the locking piece, thereby restricting the movement of the locking piece. There is no need to continuously hold the locking rod, which makes it easier to quickly adjust the direction of the sensor.

[0021] Optionally, the mounting base includes a first connecting base and a second connecting base. The first connecting base is rotatably connected to the mounting plate, and a connecting screw is connected to the first connecting base. The second connecting base is threadedly connected to the connecting screw.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the sensor is placed on the second connecting seat. When placing sensors of different sizes, the second connecting seat is rotated to separate the second connecting seat from the connecting screw, so that a new second connecting seat adapted to the sensor can be replaced individually, thereby improving the adaptability of the fixture. On the other hand, slightly rotating the second connecting seat can adjust the distance between the first connecting seat and the second connecting seat, thereby adapting to sensors of different heights, and can also adjust the angle of the sensor orientation.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. First, place the sensor on the mounting base and fix it with the fastener. Then, pull the locking seat into the sliding ring groove, rotate the mounting plate, adjust the orientation of the sensor, and then push the locking seat into the locking groove to restrict the rotation of the mounting plate. This allows for quick and easy adjustment of the sensor angle. The operation is simple, time-saving, and labor-saving.

[0024] 2. When rotating the mounting base, the fastening blocks sequentially engage with each fastening groove, creating a stepped feel that facilitates fine-tuning the adjustment angle of the mounting base. In addition, after the fastening blocks are engaged with the fastening grooves, the locking holes align with the locking rods, allowing the locking rods to engage with the locking holes.

[0025] 3. After the locking rod is inserted into the locking hole, the locking piece is inserted between the fastening block and the fastening pad, and at the same time the fastening block is inserted into the positioning hole on the locking piece, thereby fixing the locking piece and improving the connection strength of the locking rod in the locking hole.

[0026] 4. Loosen the adjusting bolt so that one end of the adjusting bolt is no longer pressed against the outer wall of the mounting rod, thereby allowing the fixing seat to move relative to the mounting rod. After adjusting the position of the fixing seat, tighten the adjusting bolt so that the adjusting bolt is pressed against the outer wall of the mounting rod, thereby fixing the fixing seat on the mounting rod.

[0027] 5. The sensor is placed on the second connecting seat. When placing sensors of different sizes, the second connecting seat is rotated to separate it from the connecting screw, so that a new second connecting seat that is compatible with the sensor can be replaced individually, thus improving the adaptability of the fixture. On the other hand, slightly rotating the second connecting seat can adjust the distance between the first and second connecting seats, thereby adapting to sensors of different heights, and can also adjust the angle of the sensor.

[0033] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that when an element is described as "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them. When an element is described as "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this specification are for illustrative purposes only.

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0035] This application discloses a fixing fixture for facilitating fine-tuning of the sensor mounting angle. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The system includes a base 1, a fixing post 11 fixedly connected to the base 1, a mounting plate 2 rotatably connected to the fixing post 11, and a mounting base 3 for placing a sensor rotatably connected to the mounting plate 2. A mounting rod 4 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 2 along the vertical direction, and a fixing element 5 for fixing the sensor to the mounting base 3 is installed on the mounting rod 4.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A locking seat 6 is slidably connected to the base 1. A sliding annular groove 12 is formed on the base 1 around the axis of the fixed column 11, allowing the locking seat 6 to engage and slide. Several locking grooves 13 are spaced circumferentially on the inner wall of the sliding annular groove 12, allowing the locking seat 6 to slide into. A locking rod 61 is fixedly connected to the locking seat 6 vertically. An elongated hole 21 is formed on the mounting plate 2, allowing the locking rod 61 to pass through and slide. First, the sensor is placed on the mounting base 3 and secured with the fixing piece 5. Then, the locking seat 6 is pulled into the sliding annular groove 12. The mounting plate 2 is rotated to adjust the sensor's orientation. Finally, the locking seat 6 is pushed into the locking groove 13, thus restricting the rotation of the mounting plate 2. This allows for quick and easy adjustment of the sensor's angle, saving time and effort.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The mounting base 3 includes a first connecting base 7 and a second connecting base 8. The first connecting base 7 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 2, and a connecting screw 71 is fixedly connected to the first connecting base 7. The second connecting base 8 is threadedly connected to the connecting screw 71. The sensor is placed on the second connecting base 8. When placing sensors of different sizes, rotating the second connecting base 8 separates it from the connecting screw 71, allowing for individual replacement of a new second connecting base 8 that is compatible with the sensor, thus improving the adaptability of the fixture. On the other hand, slightly rotating the second connecting base 8 can adjust the distance between the first connecting base 7 and the second connecting base 8, thereby accommodating sensors of different heights and also adjusting the angle of the sensor.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 A limiting ring 31 is fixedly connected circumferentially to the outer wall of the first connecting seat 7. The limiting ring 31 has several locking holes 311 spaced circumferentially for the locking rod 61 to engage. After adjusting the angle of the mounting seat 3, the locking seat 6 is pushed into the locking groove 13 to lock the mounting plate 2. At the same time, the locking rod 61 on the locking seat 6 engages in the corresponding locking hole 311, restricting the rotation of the mounting seat 3, thereby synchronously locking the mounting plate 2 and the mounting seat 3. The operation is simple.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 A retaining ring 31 is fixedly connected circumferentially to a flexible fastening pad 32 on the side facing the mounting plate 2. A flexible fastening block 22, hemispherical in shape, is connected to the mounting plate 2. Both the fastening pad 32 and the fastening block 22 are made of rubber, possessing good elasticity and wear resistance. Several fastening grooves 321, spaced circumferentially, are provided on the fastening pad 32 for the fastening block 22 to engage. When the mounting base 3 is rotated, the fastening block 22 engages sequentially in each fastening groove 321, creating a stepped feel that facilitates fine-tuning the adjustment angle of the mounting base 3. Furthermore, after the fastening block 22 engages in the fastening groove 321, the locking hole 311 aligns with the locking rod 61, allowing the locking rod 61 to engage in the locking hole 311.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A reset block 211 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the elongated hole 21, and a reset spring 212 is fixedly connected between the reset block 211 and the inner wall of the end of the elongated hole 21. Under the action of the reset spring 212, the reset block 211 can quickly push the locking rod 61, so that the locking rod 61 can quickly be engaged in the locking hole 311, thereby improving the locking efficiency.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The fixing component 5 includes a fixing seat 51 and a fixing spring 52. The fixing seat 51 is mounted on the mounting rod 4. The fixing seat 51 has a mounting groove 511 for inserting one end of the fixing spring 52. A mounting bolt 53 is threaded onto the fixing seat 51, and the thread of the mounting bolt 53 passes through the mounting groove 511. One end of the fixing spring 52 has a through hole for the mounting bolt 53 to pass through. The fixing seat 51 has an adjustment hole 512 for the mounting rod 4 to pass through. An adjustment bolt 513 is threaded onto the fixing seat 51, and one end of the adjustment bolt 513 extends into the adjustment hole 512 and abuts against the outer wall of the mounting rod 4. The fixing spring 52 is a metal spring with good elasticity. One end of the fixing spring 52 can press the sensor onto the mounting base 3, thereby preventing the sensor from falling off. When the fixing spring 52 is accidentally damaged, simply unscrew the mounting bolt 53 to remove the fixing spring 52 from the mounting groove 511, making it easy to replace the fixing spring 52 separately. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the fixing base 51, loosen the adjusting bolt 513 so that one end of the adjusting bolt 513 is no longer pressed against the outer wall of the mounting rod 4, thereby allowing the fixing base 51 to move relative to the mounting rod 4. After adjusting the position of the fixing base 51, tighten the adjusting bolt 513 so that the adjusting bolt 513 presses against the outer wall of the mounting rod 4, thereby fixing the fixing base 51 onto the mounting rod 4.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A locking piece 611 is rotatably connected to the locking rod 61. The locking piece 611 has a positioning hole 6111 for the fastening block 22 to be inserted into. When the locking rod 61 is inserted into the locking hole 311, the locking piece 611 is inserted between the fastening block 22 and the fastening pad 32. At the same time, the fastening block 22 is inserted into the positioning hole 6111 on the locking piece 611, thereby fixing the locking piece 611 and improving the connection firmness of the locking rod 61 in the locking hole 311. A limiting rod 41 is passed through the mounting rod 4. The limiting rod 41 rotates relative to the mounting rod 4. One end of the limiting rod 41 is fixedly connected to a limiting block 411 for being inserted into the positioning hole 6111, and the other end is fixedly connected to a connecting block 412 for rotating the limiting rod 41. Rotate the connecting block 412, and the connecting block 412 drives the limiting block 411 to rotate through the limiting rod 41. The limiting block 411 is engaged in the elongated hole 21 on the locking piece 611, thereby restricting the movement of the locking piece 611. There is no need to hold the locking rod 61 continuously, which makes it easier to quickly adjust the direction of the sensor.

[0043] The implementation principle of the sensor mounting angle fine-tuning fixing fixture in this application embodiment is as follows: First, place the sensor on the mounting base 3 and fix it with the fixing part 5. Push the locking seat 6 into the sliding ring groove 12. Rotate the mounting plate 2 and the mounting base 3. After adjusting the relative position of the mounting plate 2 and the mounting base 3, push the locking seat 6 into the locking groove 13. At the same time, the locking rod 61 on the locking seat 6 is engaged in the corresponding locking hole 311, restricting the rotation of the mounting base 3, thereby locking the mounting plate 2 and the mounting base 3 synchronously. The operation is simple.

[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
