Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a sensor mounting seat, in particular to an amusement facility sensor mounting device. Background Art
[0002] There are many types of amusement equipment that require the use of photoelectric sensors, such as roller coasters, spinning equipment, aiming games, etc. These sensors are usually used to monitor speed, position, hits, etc. And these photoelectric sensors are usually installed on the side or top of the equipment track or path. The mounting base usually consists of a fixed base and a sensor base. The fixed base is fixed to the equipment or the ground, and the sensor base is the component used to mount the sensor. It can be fixed to the base to adjust the height position of the sensor and the height position of the sensor cannot be adjusted once it is installed. The structure of these bases is usually made of weather-resistant materials to withstand the influence of outdoor environments.
[0003] However, the main problem facing photoelectric sensors placed outdoors is that they are exposed outdoors. Therefore, photoelectric sensors will not only be disturbed by external light, but also suffer from various faults and inconveniences due to moisture. As a result, the reliability and life of the sensor may decrease, requiring more frequent maintenance and replacement. Faulty sensors can also cause equipment malfunctions, increase safety risks, and so on. Utility Model Content
