[0002] Slot-type photoelectric sensors have been widely used in the field of positioning detection such as production automation due to their high detection accuracy. However, slot-type photoelectric sensors in the prior art are mostly assembled by direct snap-on assembly, which provides a low level of protection. There are gaps at the joints of the shell, and dust and water vapor from the outside can easily enter the shell through the gaps, which will affect the circuit inside the photoelectric sensor and reduce the sensitivity or accuracy of the product. In addition, in order to facilitate installation, a certain amount of space is left at the installation of the transmitting and receiving devices. In a vibrating environment, the stability of the product structure is poor, which can easily cause the position of the transmitting and receiving devices to shift, causing deviations in product positioning, and therefore cannot meet the use requirements in complex environments. The Chinese patent document with a publication date of August 5, 2022 and a publication number of CN 217132207 U discloses a wide slot photoelectric sensor with good stability, including a wide slot photoelectric sensor body and a wire on the left side of the wide slot photoelectric sensor body, and a bending positioning adjustment mechanism is arranged on the outside of the wire; the bending positioning adjustment mechanism includes two circular sleeves movably arranged on the wire, and a fixed sleeve on the circular sleeve on the right side is provided with a connecting sleeve with an opening on the right side, and the right side of the connecting sleeve is bonded and fixed to the left side of the wide slot photoelectric sensor body, and the same telescopic rubber sleeve is bonded and fixed between the two circular sleeves, and a fixed seat is fixedly connected to the top of the circular sleeve on the right side. The slot-type photoelectric sensor can support and protect the connection between the wire and the slot-type sensor body, reduce the risk of bending and breaking at the connection between the wire and the slot-type sensor body, and facilitate the bending and positioning of the wire according to the wiring requirements. However, the slot-type photoelectric sensor body adopts a direct snap-on assembly method, so the problem of poor stability of the product structure has not been solved. Utility Model Content
