[0031] Compared with the prior art, the prism of the utility model has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost and is easy to install.

[0032] The angle between the light incident surface 12 and the reflecting surface 11 is 45°; the light incident surface 12 and the light emitting surface 13 can be switched with each other, which can reduce the manufacturing cost and installation cost of the prism.

[0033] The convex lens is a spherical convex lens or an aspherical convex lens 14, which is used to organize the light entering and exiting the prism body so that the organized light is close to parallel light, thereby improving the detection efficiency. The convex lens in this embodiment is an aspherical convex lens 14.

[0034] Rectangular plate-shaped ear plates 15 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main body to facilitate the installation of the prism and maximize the utilization rate of the light-transmitting part of the prism.

[0035] The ear plate 15 is aligned with the light incident surface 12 and the light emitting surface 13 of the prism body; adjusting the ear plate 15 is equivalent to adjusting the prism body, which is convenient for adjustment during installation.

[0036] The two end points of the reflective surface are aligned with the end surfaces of the ear plate 15 .

[0037] The outer edge of the ear plate 15 is provided with a notch 151 that runs through the outer edge, which can avoid installation errors and improve installation efficiency and quality.

[0038] Working principle of this embodiment: The convex lens suppresses the scattering of light, increases the amount of detection light, and suppresses the intrusion of interfering light. The light-entering surface 12 and the light-exiting surface 13 can be switched with each other, which can reduce the manufacturing cost and installation cost of the prism. The aspheric convex lens 14 organizes the light entering and exiting the prism body so that the light is close to parallel light, thereby improving the detection efficiency. The ear plate 15 facilitates the installation of the prism and maximizes the utilization rate of the light-transmitting part of the prism. The notch 151 can avoid installation errors and improve installation efficiency and quality.

[0039] Example 2: See Figure 3-8 A prism mounting structure of an integrated prism for a dust sensor described in Example 1 includes a cylindrical upper bin body 21 and a lower bin body 22; the upper bin body 21 has an opening at the bottom; the lower bin body 22 has an opening at the top; the upper bin body 21 and the lower bin body 22 are fitted together, and a light opening 23 is provided on the same side for an optical path to pass through a light emitting surface 13 toward the light opening 23; the top surface of the ear plate 15 abuts against the upper bin body 21, and the bottom surface abuts against the lower bin body 22; the upper bin body 21 and the lower bin body 22 are interlocked to limit the prism and ensure that the prism is installed stably.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides a prism mounting structure suitable for an integrated prism for a dust sensor; the prism mounting structure has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and can fully limit the position of the prism, thereby ensuring installation quality while improving installation efficiency.

[0041] Figure 4 There are two upper storage bodies 21, one of which has the integrated prism described in the first embodiment installed therein, and the other upper storage body 21 has no integrated prism installed therein.

[0042] A lower pressing plate 211 is fixedly connected to the interior of the upper storage body 21 ; the lower pressing plate 211 abuts against the top surface of the ear plate 15 to limit the vertical position of the prism body.

[0043] The lower pressing plates 211 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper storage body 21 to fully limit the vertical position of the prism body.

[0044] One end of the lower pressing plate 211 is provided with a collar 212 matching the notch 151 ; the collar is inserted into the notch 151 ; the collar cooperates with the notch 151 to prevent incorrect installation and also to limit the horizontal position of the prism body.

[0046] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the upper storage body 21 and the lower storage body 22 are interlocked to limit the prism and ensure the stable installation of the prism. The card fluting cooperates with the notch 151 to prevent incorrect installation and also limit the horizontal position of the prism body. The lower pressure plate 211 cooperates with the cushion block 221 to fully limit the vertical position of the prism body.
