[0025] The technical scheme in the embodiment of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below. The structures, proportions, sizes, etc. illustrated in the drawings of this specification are only used to match the contents disclosed in the specification, so that people familiar with this technology can understand and read them, and are not used to limit the limiting conditions that can be implemented in the utility model, so they have no substantial technical significance. Any modification of the structure, change of the proportional relationship or adjustment of the size, without affecting the effect that can be produced by the utility model and the purpose that can be achieved, should still fall within the scope that the technical content disclosed in the utility model can cover. At the same time, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and so on quoted in this specification are only for the convenience of narration, and are not used to limit the scope that can be implemented. The change or adjustment of the relative relationship, without substantial change of the technical content, should also be regarded as the scope that can be implemented in the utility model.

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 6 A waterproof proximity switch includes a base 1 and a top cover 2. A proximity switch 3 is movably provided on the base 1 in the vertical direction. A wire outlet 21 is provided in the top cover 2. The lower end of the proximity switch 3 extends out of the base 1, and the upper end extends into the wire outlet 21. A straight-through connector 4 connected to the wire outlet 21 is also provided on the top cover 2. The base 1 is connected to the oil cylinder, and the wiring is introduced from the wire outlet 21 and the straight-through connector 4 and connected to the proximity switch 3. The above structure is a conventional technical means in the art and will not be repeated here.

[0027] The middle of the base 1 is provided with an installation cavity 11, and the lower end of the top cover 2 is provided with a connection seat 22. The top cover 2 is connected to the base 1 so that the connection seat 22 fits into the installation cavity 11. A sealing ring is embedded in the connection seat 22, and the sealing ring seals the connection seat 22 and the installation cavity 11. A sealing ring is embedded in the lower end of the base 1, and the sealing ring seals the base 1 and the oil cylinder. The two sealing ring structures on the base 1 and the top cover 2 ensure the sealing of the proximity switch 3, prevent external water from entering the interior of the proximity switch 3, and achieve a waterproof function.

[0028] The top cover 2 and the base 1 can rotate relative to each other, and the direction of the outlet 21 can be adjusted according to the rotation position of the top cover 2 relative to the base 1. In this embodiment, the cylindrical top cover 2 and the base 1 are taken as examples to facilitate the description of the specific structure of adjusting the direction of the outlet 21.

[0029] Preferably, the base 1 is provided with four connection holes, two of which are through holes and the other two are blind holes. The top cover 2 is provided with two connection holes, both of which are through holes. The connection holes are evenly spaced along the circle where the center of the base 1 and the top cover 2 is located, and are all vertically arranged. By properly rotating the position of the top cover, the connection holes of the top cover 2 can be aligned with the through holes of the base 1 or with the blind holes.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the base 1 is placed on the installation position of the oil cylinder, and then the top cover 2 is installed on the base 1, and the connection hole of the top cover 2 and the through hole of the base 1 are maintained, and screws 5 are set in the connection holes to fix the base 1 and the top cover 2. At this time, long screws 5 are selected to pass through the connection holes to fasten the top cover 2 and the base 1, and the lower end of the screw 5 is screwed into the external oil cylinder, so that the base 1 is connected to the oil cylinder. The top cover 2, the base 1 and the external oil cylinder can be connected as a whole by two screws 5, and the installation of the proximity switch 3 is completed.

[0031] like Figure 4-Figure 6 When the direction of the wire outlet 21 needs to be adjusted, remove the above screws 5 and take off the top cover 2. Then install the screws 5 on the through holes of the base 1, and the screws 5 enter the external cylinder to connect the base 1 and the cylinder first. Then, adjust the position of the top cover 2, rotate the top cover 2 90° in the vertical direction for assembly, align the connection hole of the top cover 2 with the blind hole of the base 1, and install the screws 5 again. The screws 5 pass through the top cover 2 and are screwed into the blind hole to achieve the connection between the top cover 2 and the base 1. The base 1 and the external cylinder are connected by two screws 5, and the base 1 and the top cover 2 are connected by two screws 5. The direction adjustment of the wire outlet 21 and the installation of the proximity switch 3 are achieved through two installations.

[0032] The above structure can adjust the installation direction of the proximity switch according to needs, saving space for the oil cylinder assembly. The detachable assembly can be repeatedly used, which is lower in cost.

[0033] The number of the connection holes may be 3, 4 or more, and may be set according to actual needs to achieve adjustment of the top cover 2 to a certain angle.

[0034] Different from the prior art, the waterproof proximity switch of the utility model is provided with a top cover and a base separately, and the position of the top cover is adjusted to change the appearance direction of the proximity switch, thereby saving assembly space.

[0035] The above schematically describes the present invention and its implementation methods, which are not restrictive. The drawings show only one implementation method of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if ordinary technicians in this field are inspired by it and design structural methods and embodiments similar to the technical solution without creativity without departing from the purpose of the present invention, they should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
