Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of detection equipment, in particular to a dustproof photoelectric switch used in an automated production line. Background Art
[0002] Photoelectric switch is the abbreviation of photoelectric proximity switch. It uses the obstruction or reflection of the light beam by the detected object, and the circuit is connected by the synchronization circuit to detect the presence or absence of the object. The object is not limited to metal. All objects that can reflect light or block light can be detected. The photoelectric switch converts the input current into a light signal on the transmitter, and the receiver detects the target object according to the intensity or presence of the received light. The common photoelectric switch smoke alarm in the security system is often used in industry to count the number of movements of the robot arm. The photoelectric switch is a type of sensor that converts the intensity change of light between the transmitting end and the receiving end into a change in current to achieve the purpose of detection. Since the output circuit and the input circuit of the photoelectric switch are electrically isolated, that is, electrically insulated, it can be used in many occasions. The new generation of photoelectric switch devices manufactured using integrated circuit technology and SMT surface mounting technology have intelligent functions such as delay, widening, external synchronization, anti-mutual interference, high reliability, stable working area and self-diagnosis.
[0003] Commonly used infrared photoelectric switches use the principle of reflection of near-infrared light beams by objects. The synchronous circuit senses the intensity of the reflected light and detects the presence of an object to achieve its function. The photoelectric sensor first sends out an infrared light beam to reach or pass through an object or a mirror to reflect the infrared light beam. The photoelectric sensor receives the reflected light beam and determines the presence of an object based on the intensity of the light beam. There are many types of infrared photoelectric switches. Generally speaking, there are several main types, such as mirror reflection photoelectric switches, diffuse reflection types, slot types, through-beam types, and fiber optic types.
[0004] As a detection unit, photoelectric switches are also widely used in industrial automation, medical, finance, home appliances and other fields. Traditional photoelectric switches are composed of an infrared transmitting tube, an infrared receiving tube, a control circuit board, a plastic shell and a plastic cover. The plastic shell has a light-transmitting groove. The infrared light emitted by the infrared transmitting tube passes through the light-transmitting groove of the plastic shell and is received by the infrared receiving tube. After receiving the infrared light, the infrared receiving tube converts the light into an electrical signal.
[0005] However, the existing devices have the following problems:
[0006] 1. When the existing photoelectric switch is used in an environment with a lot of dust, it is easy for the inside of the photoelectric switch to be filled with dust, causing false detection and missed detection;
[0007] 2. The existing device is installed and fixed at the upper end of the device by the staff. When it is used in different positions, it is not convenient to adjust it, and frequent disassembly may easily cause damage to the photoelectric switch. Utility Model Content
