Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of switch testing equipment technology, specifically to a photoelectric switch testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Magnetic switches are primarily used in security systems for door and window status monitoring and intrusion alarms, such as smart door magnetic switches. In the automotive industry, they are used for vehicle speed detection and position control. In medical equipment, they monitor the position and status of medical devices. In automation control, they detect object positions and control switch states, such as fire door controls. Magnetic switch indicator lights illuminate through a circuit design connected in parallel with the switching element. When the magnetic switch is opened due to a change in the magnetic field, current flows through the indicator light, causing it to illuminate and thus visually displaying the switch status.

[0003] The current problem encountered is that during the production, processing, and assembly of photoelectric switches and magnetic switches, the wide variety of products makes it easy for employees to connect the wrong wires or use the wrong materials. This results in products being unable to be tested, and issues such as continuity, short circuits, incorrect wiring, and measured voltage cannot be identified. Defective products cannot be monitored, and customers may experience machine burn-out after installation. Therefore, a non-standard photoelectric switch and magnetic switch testing device has been designed and manufactured. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a photoelectric switch testing device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a photoelectric switch testing device, comprising a base, on which a photoelectric sensor and a detection structure are mounted, wherein the photoelectric sensor is used for position detection of the photoelectric switch;

[0006] The detection structure supports the photoelectric switch and is composed of a support docking component and a rotation adjustment component. The rotation adjustment component controls the rotation of the support docking component to change the entry angle of the photoelectric switch. The support docking component can control the tilt adjustment of the photoelectric switch. The base is equipped with a first control switch, a second control switch, and a third control switch for control cabinet. The first control switch controls the operation of the stepper motor, the second control switch controls the electric telescopic rod, and the third control switch controls the photoelectric sensor to perform adjustment work. An alarm buzzer is set to provide an alarm when a photoelectric switch fault is detected. The power switch can be pressed to control the operation and supply power to the display screen and the detection structure as a whole. The photoelectric sensor is set to detect the position of the photoelectric switch and check whether the photoelectric switch is in position during detection. The connecting cable is located at the rear end of the base to provide power to the entire equipment.

[0007] Specifically, a support frame is fixedly provided at the rear end of the base, a display screen is installed on the support frame, and the base is also provided with a first control switch, a second control switch, and a third control switch for switching control of the stepper motor, the electric telescopic rod, and the photoelectric sensor.

[0008] Specifically, a connecting wire is installed on the rear side of the base, which is electrically connected to the power switch and the display screen. An alarm buzzer is installed between the third control switch and the power switch for alarm handling. The base has a detection structure for placing the photoelectric switch, which can control the rotation of the photoelectric switch and adjust its tilt for easy placement. A photoelectric sensor is used to detect the photoelectric switch, and the display screen shows the circuit status to analyze whether the photoelectric switch is qualified. A stepper motor drives a gear plate to control the rotation of the gear plate. The gear plate meshes with a rotating gear ring, thereby controlling the rotation of the rotating gear ring. The upper end of the rotating gear ring is fixed to the support docking component, changing the angle of the support docking component. The photoelectric switch can be placed on the support base and docking terminal block. The electrically controlled telescopic rod can adjust the position of the movable frame by telescopic adjustment, allowing the movable frame to rotate and adjust with the fixed base. The movable frame is connected to the support base, driving the support base to move, facilitating the feeding of the photoelectric switch.

[0009] Specifically, the rotation adjustment component includes a stepper motor, which controls the rotation of a drive gear disk. A mating gear disk meshes with the drive gear disk, and a rotating gear ring meshes with the outer side of the mating gear disk. The upper end of the rotating gear ring is fixed to the support docking component. The device can also be angled. The stepper motor controls the rotation adjustment of the drive gear disk, which meshes with the mating gear disk, and the mating gear disk meshes with the rotating gear ring. Thus, the drive gear disk controls the rotation of the rotating gear ring, causing the rotating gear ring to drive the entire support docking component to rotate, facilitating the entry of photoelectric switches at different positions. When the photoelectric switch reaches the designated position, the connecting wire is energized through the conversion structure, wire seat, and docking terminal seat. The docking terminal seat is connected to the photoelectric switch for performance testing of the photoelectric switch.

[0010] Specifically, the supporting docking component includes a supporting base, on which a docking terminal block is provided. The docking terminal block is adapted to be plugged into a photoelectric switch. A wire block is installed at the rear end of the supporting base. The wire block is electrically connected to the docking terminal block. The wire block is connected to a connecting wire through a conversion structure. A control structure is provided on the side of the supporting base.

[0011] Specifically, the control structure includes a fixed base frame, a supporting top plate fixedly mounted on the fixed base frame, a hinge shaft fixedly mounted on the supporting top plate, an electrically controlled telescopic rod hinged to the hinge shaft, the lower end of the electrically controlled telescopic rod hinged to a mating guide block, a movable frame fixedly mounted at the lower end of the mating guide block, a limiting top block fixedly mounted on the movable frame, and a side end of the movable frame hinged to the fixed base frame. When the user needs to test the photoelectric switch, the photoelectric switch is placed on the supporting base and the mating terminal block, and then pressed down to make the photoelectric switch and the mating terminal block fit together. Positioning is adjusted according to different usage scenarios, allowing for adjustment of the entry angle. At this time, the electrically controlled telescopic rod is controlled and stretched, causing the fixed base, movable frame, and limit block to move with the electrically controlled telescopic rod. The movable frame is hinged to the fixed base and can be flipped. The upper end of the electrically controlled telescopic rod is hinged via a hinge shaft and can also be angled. The support top plate is fixed to the fixed base to achieve the support function. At this time, the movable frame drives the support base and docking terminal block to move, changing the entry angle of the photoelectric switch, thereby facilitating mechanical loading.

[0012] Specifically, the lower end of the fixed base is provided with a fixing block, which is inserted into the bottom of the support base and fixed to the rotating gear ring.

[0013] Specifically, the lower end of the movable frame is fixed to the support base, and the docking terminal block on the support base is adapted to the photoelectric switch.

[0014] Specifically, the electrically controlled telescopic rod extends and retracts, causing the guide block, movable frame, and limit block to move, so that the support base and docking terminal block rotate accordingly.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] By setting up a base, the detection structure on the base is used for placing the photoelectric switch. The detection structure can control the rotation of the photoelectric switch and adjust its tilt to facilitate placement. The photoelectric sensor is used for sensing the photoelectric switch, and the display screen can show the circuit status to analyze whether the photoelectric switch is qualified. The stepper motor drives the gear plate to control the rotation of the gear plate. The gear plate meshes with the rotating gear ring, thereby controlling the rotation of the rotating gear ring. The upper end of the rotating gear ring is fixed to the support docking component. Changing the angle of the support docking component allows the photoelectric switch to be placed on the support base and docking terminal block. The electrically controlled telescopic rod can be adjusted to change the position of the movable frame, allowing the movable frame to rotate and adjust relative to the fixed base. The movable frame is connected to the support base, driving the support base to move, facilitating the feeding of the photoelectric switch. Attached Figure Description

A stepper motor 1... 7. The drive gear 14 controls the rotation of the mating gear 15, which meshes with the rotating gear ring 16, thereby controlling the rotation of the rotating gear ring 16. The upper end of the rotating gear ring 16 is fixed to the support docking component 12, changing the angle of the support docking component 12. At the same time, the photoelectric switch can be placed on the support base 22 and the docking terminal block 23. The electric telescopic rod 26 adjusts the position of the movable frame 29 by telescopic adjustment, so that the movable frame 29 and the fixed base 27 can rotate and adjust. The movable frame 29 is connected to the support base 22, driving the support base 22 to move, which facilitates the feeding of the photoelectric switch.

When the photoelectric switch reaches the designated position, the connecting wire 18 is energized through the conversion structure 19, the wire seat 20 and the docking terminal seat 23.

The side end of the movable frame 29 is hinged to the fixed base frame 27. When the user needs to test the photoelectric switch, the photoelectric switch is placed on the support base 22 and the docking terminal block 23, and then pressed down to make the photoelectric switch and the docking terminal block 23 fit together. Positioning is performed, and the entry angle can be adjusted according to different usage scenarios. At this time, the electrically controlled telescopic rod 26 is controlled and stretched, so that the fixed base 27, movable frame 29, and limit top block 30 move with the electrically controlled telescopic rod 26. The movable frame 29 is hinged to the fixed base 27 and can be flipped. The upper end of the electrically controlled telescopic rod 26 is hinged through the hinge shaft 24 and can also be angled. The support top plate 25 is fixed to the fixed base 27 to realize the support function. At this time, the movable frame 29 drives the support base 22 and docking terminal block 23 to move, changing the entry angle of the photoelectric switch, thereby facilitating mechanical loading.

The drive gear plate 14 is meshed with a mating gear plate 15, and the mating gear plate 15 is meshed with a rotating gear ring 16. Thus, the drive gear plate 14 controls the rotation of the rotating gear ring 16, causing the rotating gear ring 16 to drive the support docking component 12 to rotate as a whole, facilitating the entry of photoelectric switches at different positions. When the photoelectric switch reaches the designated position, the connecting wire 18 is energized through the conversion structure 19, the wire seat 20, and the docking terminal seat 23.
