[0026] In order to make the technical solution of the present invention more clear and specific to those skilled in the art, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings, but the implementation methods of the present invention are not limited thereto.
[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the present embodiment provides a protective structure of an optical detection device, including a protective component 1, wherein the protective component 1 at least includes a protective shell 101 and a protective window 102 arranged on the top of the protective shell 101, and the protective shell 101 is provided with a cleaning component 2 on one side of the protective window 102, and the cleaning component 2 is respectively provided with a blowing port 201 for blowing toward the protective window 102 and a blowing hole 202 for blowing toward a workpiece to be measured, and the blowing port 201 and the blowing hole 202 are connected to each other and are provided with an air inlet for connecting to an external pipeline; specifically, the top of the protective shell 101 is provided with a mounting groove 103, A protective window 102 is installed near the top of the installation groove 103; the optical detection device is a detection instrument such as a laser rangefinder, and the protective window 102 can protect the top of the laser rangefinder, and the laser rangefinder can transmit and receive laser light through the protective window 102 for detection; in addition to the air blowing port 201 and the air blowing hole 202, the cleaning component 2 also includes an air cavity 204 opened at the top of the protective shell 101, and high-pressure gas is blown into the air cavity 204 and blown toward the protective window 102 along the air blowing port 201, so that dust, water mist and other pollutants attached to the protective window 102 and the surrounding area are blown away by the high-pressure gas. The top of the air cavity 204 is fixed with a top cover 206, which can seal the top of the air cavity 204 and guide the high-pressure gas. The top of the air cavity 204 is an inclined structure, and a blowing port 201 is opened on one side wall of the air cavity 204, and the blowing port 201 faces the protective window 102. It should be noted that the size of the blowing port 201 is smaller than that of the air cavity 204. Therefore, when the high-pressure gas flows from the air cavity 204 to the blowing port 201, the size of the blowing port 201 is narrowed, so that the high-pressure gas can be further concentrated and sprayed toward the opposite protective window 102. The air duct 205 and the air cavity 20 4 is connected, the air inlet 203 is connected with the air duct 205, the air duct 205 is used to transport high-pressure gas, the air inlet 203 is arranged on the outside of the protective shell 101, the air duct 205 is connected with the air inlet 203, the external air supply equipment can be connected to the air inlet 203 through an external pipeline, so that the transported high-pressure gas enters the air duct 205 through the air inlet 203; the middle part of the top cover 206 is provided with a blowing hole 202 for cleaning the workpiece to be measured, and the high-pressure gas can be blown toward the workpiece to be measured through the blowing hole 202, so that the pollutants such as dust and water mist attached to the workpiece to be measured and the surrounding area are blown away by the high-pressure gas.
[0028] It should be noted that the top cover 206 arranged above the air cavity 204 is detachable and is covered on the air cavity 204 by fasteners such as screws. After long-term use, pollutants such as dust will accumulate and clog the air port 201 and the air hole 202. Therefore, when the air cavity 204 and the airway 205 need to be cleaned, they can be cleaned by removing the top cover 206.
[0029] like Figure 4-Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, in order to further fix the optical detection device and prevent the light detection device from being offset during operation and causing errors in detection accuracy, a limit assembly 3 is provided on one side of the air inlet 203. The limit assembly 3 includes a slide groove 301 provided on the protective shell 101. The slide groove 301 can guide the piston seat 302. The slide groove 301 is slidably connected with the piston seat 302. The piston seat 302 can be offset against the optical detection device to ensure its stability. A sealing structure is provided between the piston seat 302 and the slide groove 301. The slide groove 301 The piston seat 302 is an H-shaped structure. Specifically, when high-pressure gas enters from the air inlet 203, the pressure generated by the high-pressure gas can make the piston seat 302 move along the direction of the slide groove 301, so that the piston seat 302 can be against the optical detection device arranged inside the protective shell 101, thereby further firmly fixing the light detection device inside the protective shell 101. This can also facilitate the installation and fixation of the light detection device without the need for fixing it with screws or other connecting parts, and can be suitable for installation and fixation of light detection devices of different models or functions.
[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a placement cavity 104 is opened in the protective shell 101, and the placement cavity 104 is connected to the protective window 102. The optical detection device is placed in the placement cavity 104 and can transmit and receive signals through the protective window 102, so that the protective shell 101 can protect the optical detection device through the placement cavity 104.
[0031] The protective window 102 is made of transparent materials such as glass or acrylic. In the present invention, glass is preferably used as the protective window 102, so that the optical detection device can transmit and receive external signals through the glass.
[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the top of the placement cavity 104 is covered with a sealing cover 105, and the sealing cover 105 is bonded to the protective shell 101. The sealing cover 105 can seal the top of the placement cavity 104, thereby preventing external dust and water mist from entering the protective shell 101, preventing corrosive pollutants from damaging the optical detection device, and protecting the optical detection device.
[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of plugs for supplying power and transmitting signals to the optical detection device are installed on both sides of the protective shell 101, wherein a waterproof plug 4 is preferably used to prevent corrosion and damage to the plug by external dust and water mist; a through groove for installing and connecting the waterproof plug 4 is provided on the protective shell 101, and power can be supplied and electrical signals can be transmitted to the optical detection device arranged in the protective shell 101 through the waterproof plug 4.
[0034] Working principle of the device: When the device is used, the staff places the optical detection device in the protective shell 101 through the placement cavity 104, and connects it to the laser rangefinder through the waterproof plug 4 to power it. At this time, the optical detection device is away from the air inlet 203 and is against a side wall in the placement cavity 104. After the connection is completed, the sealing cover 105 is installed on the top of the placement cavity 104 through sealant, and the sealing cover 105 is used to seal it to prevent water leakage. Then, during the use of the optical detection device, the optical path signal generated inside it is transmitted to the outside through the protective window 102 in the installation groove 103, and the return signal can enter the optical detection device again through the protective window 102 to complete the measurement. At the same time, the air inlet 203 is connected to the outside The high-pressure gas enters the air passage 205 through the air inlet 203 and is ejected from the air cavity 204. The high-pressure gas is blocked by the top cover 206 so that the high-pressure gas is respectively sprayed from the air outlet 201 and the air hole 202 to the surface of the protective window 102 and the workpiece to be measured. The oil mist or water vapor on the outside of the protective window 102 and the workpiece to be measured is blown away by the high-pressure gas to avoid blocking the protective window 102 and causing the optical detection device to be inaccurate, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the optical detection device and improving the accuracy of the measurement result. When the high-pressure gas enters the air inlet 203, the pressure generated by the high-pressure gas causes the piston seat 302 to move along the slide groove 301, and one end of the piston seat 302 can be against the laser rangefinder, thereby ensuring the stability of the optical detection device during use.
[0035] The above are only further embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical solution and concept of the present invention, which fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
