Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of axle type photoelectric sensor design, in particular to a photoelectric sensor with a sulfur-free rubber pad structure. Background Art
[0002] Axle-type photoelectric sensors are installed on the wheels of rail transit trains to measure motion parameters such as the speed, direction, and distance of wheel rotation.
[0003] The photoelectric speed sensor is a high-precision speed and distance measuring device based on the photoelectric effect. It scans the inner and outer tracks of the grating through the photoelectric module and outputs a square wave signal consistent with the grating grid. It can output up to 6 sets of square wave signals with different phases, which can be used for the system to detect the running direction, speed, acceleration, idling and slipping of the locomotive.
[0004] A sealing gasket is installed inside the housing of the photoelectric sensor to fix the photoelectric module and prevent the photoelectric module from moving. However, the rubber gasket currently used is a vulcanized rubber gasket, which will volatilize sulfide and corrode the components inside the photoelectric module circuit board, reducing the working life of the components, causing circuit failures, and significantly reducing the stability of the photoelectric sensor.

[0020] Emulsion rubber is a type of rubber obtained by solidifying rubber latex. It has the characteristics of stable shape and easy processing, and is widely used in coatings, glues, printing inks and other fields.
[0021] Unvulcanized rubber has the characteristics of good processing performance and strong plasticity.
[0022] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is arranged at the central axis of the shell, and the rotating shaft can rotate continuously or reciprocatingly within a range of 0°-360° with the central axis of the shell as the rotation axis.
[0023] Furthermore, the rotating shaft of the photoelectric sensor is installed coaxially with the rotating part of the wheel axle.
[0024] Furthermore, the shell is provided with a plurality of symmetrically arranged connection holes, and the shell is fixedly connected to the fixing portion of the wheel axle through the connection holes.
[0025] Furthermore, the connection type between the outlet cable and the lead-out portion of the housing is a flexible connection, and the outlet cable can be bent at the lead-out portion.
[0026] Furthermore, the angle between the lead-out direction of the outgoing cable from the housing and the axle is 90 degrees.
