[0038] The utility model discloses a sensor bracket, which improves the stability of the sensor feedback signal, avoids damage to the sensor bracket caused by collision of goods, and prolongs the service life of the sensor bracket.

[0039] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0040] See also Figures 1 to 12 The sensor bracket of the utility model comprises a bracket body and a support rod 5. The bracket body is connected to a foundation or a pillar (not shown) connected to the foundation. The support rod 5 is slidably connected to the bracket body, and a sensor 8 is connected to the support rod 5.

[0041] Among them, the support rod 5 is connected with a first adjustment ring 4 and a second adjustment ring 7 for limiting the position. The first adjustment ring 4 and the second adjustment ring 7 are respectively arranged on both sides of the bracket body, and are used to limit the support rod 5. The second adjustment ring 7 is arranged close to the sensor 8. A spring 6 is arranged between the second adjustment ring 7 and the bracket body. The spring 6 is sleeved on the support rod 5. The initial state of the spring 6 is a natural state, that is, the spring 6 is not stretched or compressed. The sensor 8 is a photoelectric sensor. When the support rod 5 is subjected to a horizontal collision, the support rod 5 and each component thereon move as a whole in the direction of the force, and the spring 6 is compressed; after the collision object is removed, the spring 6 recovers and the support rod 5 is reset. The support rod 5 and the collision object produce an elastic collision, thereby avoiding damage to the support rod 5.

[0042] The sensor bracket of the utility model avoids the influence of the jitter of the conveying equipment on the sensor by connecting the bracket body to the foundation or a pillar connected to the foundation, avoids the feedback error of the sensor signal caused by the jitter, and ensures the stability of the photoelectric signal transmission. By sleeved spring 6 on the support rod 5, and spring 6 is arranged between the second adjustment ring 7 and the bracket body, when the sensor bracket is hit by the goods on the conveying equipment along the axial direction of the support rod 5, the support rod 5 can move a distance along the axial direction. The length of this distance is the effective compression length of spring 6, thereby avoiding the bracket from being damaged after the collision along the axial direction of the support rod 5, avoiding the deformation of the sensor bracket, improving the stability of the sensor feedback signal, avoiding damage to the goods or equipment, and extending the service life of the sensor bracket.

[0043] In order to improve the stability of the first adjustment ring 4 and the second adjustment ring 7, both of the first adjustment ring 4 and the second adjustment ring 7 are hollow cylindrical structures with openings at both ends, and both are sleeved on the support rod 5. A first threaded through hole is provided on the side wall of the first adjustment ring 4, and the first adjustment ring 4 is fixed to the support rod 5 by a first fixing bolt 13 connected in the first threaded through hole. A second threaded through hole is provided on the side wall of the second adjustment ring 7, and the second adjustment ring 7 is fixed to the support rod 5 by a second fixing bolt 12 connected in the second threaded through hole. The first adjustment ring 4 contacts one end of the bracket body, and the other end of the bracket body contacts one end of the spring 6, and the other end of the spring 6 contacts the second adjustment ring 7. In other words, the first adjustment ring 4 directly contacts one end of the bracket body to limit the position, and the second adjustment ring 7 elastically contacts the other end of the bracket body through the spring 6 to limit the position, so as to alleviate the impact of the outside along the axial direction of the support rod 5, and avoid the damage of the bracket or the goods caused by the rigid limit. In order to improve the reliability of the tightening and limiting, two first fixing bolts 13 and two second fixing bolts 12 are provided.

[0044] In order to facilitate the adjustment of the height of the sensor bracket, the bracket body includes a fixed bracket 1 and a lifting bracket 3, and the bottom end of the lifting bracket 3 is slidably connected to the top end of the fixed bracket 1. The top end of the lifting bracket 3 is slidably connected to the support rod 5, and the bottom end of the fixed bracket 1 is connected to the foundation or a pillar connected to the foundation. The above bottom and top are based on Figure 1 The installation state of the sensor bracket in the figure is described. The lifting bracket 3 is locked and fixed on the fixed bracket 1 by the connecting piece. By slidingly connecting the bottom end of the lifting bracket 3 to the top end of the fixed bracket 1, the height of the lifting bracket 3 is adjustable, and then the height of the sensor 8 connected to the lifting bracket 3 is adjustable. When adjusting the height, first loosen the third fixing bolt 2 on the upper end of the fixed bracket 1, then adjust the lifting bracket 3 to the desired height, and finally tighten the third fixing bolt 2 to fix the lifting bracket 3.

[0045] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 The fixed bracket 1 includes a connecting base plate 102 and a support column 101 connected together. The support column 101 is provided with a first sliding cavity 104 vertically provided on the connecting base plate 102, and the lifting bracket 3 is slidably connected in the first sliding cavity 104. In one embodiment, the support column 101 is cut from a square tube, and the connecting base plate 102 is made of a steel plate. In order to facilitate the locking and positioning of the lifting bracket 3, a third threaded through hole is provided on the side wall of the support column 101, and the lifting bracket 3 is tightened and fixed on the support column 101 by a third fixing bolt 2 connected in the third threaded through hole. In one embodiment, two third fixing bolts 2 are provided. A connecting through hole 103 is provided on the connecting base plate 102 to facilitate the connection of the fixed bracket 1 to the supporting structure.

[0046] In one embodiment, the lifting bracket 3 includes a sliding rod 302 and a supporting sleeve 301 connected together. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the support rod 5 is slidably connected in the support sleeve 301, and the support sleeve 301 is horizontally arranged. The sliding rod 302 is slidably connected in the first sliding cavity 104 of the support column 101. Both the sliding rod 302 and the support sleeve 301 can be cut from square tubes. The support rod 5 is inserted into the second sliding cavity at the upper end of the support sleeve 301, which is convenient for adjusting the horizontal position of the support rod 5 to meet the horizontal positioning requirements of the sensor 8.

[0047] In order to facilitate installation and adjustment of the position of the sensor 8, the sensor 8 is slidably connected to the support rod 5 through the sensor installation structure 10. Specifically, the sensor installation structure 10 includes a connection sleeve 1003 and a support plate 1001 that are fixedly connected. Figures 6 to 12 The connecting sleeve 1003 is slidably mounted on the supporting rod 5 , the sensor 8 is detachably connected to the supporting plate 1001 , and the connecting sleeve 1003 is fixed to a suitable position of the supporting rod 5 by a fourth fixing bolt 11 .

[0048] In order to facilitate the adjustment of the installation direction and installation angle of the sensor 8, the support plate 1001 is provided with an installation slot 1002, and the installation slot 1002 includes a horizontal slot and a vertical slot connected to each other. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the sensor 8 is connected to the installation slot 1002 by a connecting bolt 9. In order to ensure the reliability of the installation of the sensor 8, two connecting bolts 9 are provided. In one embodiment, the installation slot 1002 is a U-shaped slot, including a transverse slot and longitudinal slots provided at both ends of the transverse slot. Figure 8 As shown, the sensor 8 is installed in a longitudinal groove of the U-shaped groove; Fig. 9 As shown, the sensor 8 is installed in the transverse groove of the U-shaped groove; Fig.10 As shown, the sensor 8 is installed in another longitudinal groove of the U-shaped groove. It can be understood that in order to meet the installation requirements, the groove length of the transverse groove and the longitudinal groove is greater than the sum of the spacing distance of the two connecting bolts 9 and the distance required for installation.

[0049] In one embodiment, the transverse groove is a straight groove. Figure 7 As shown, in another embodiment, the transverse groove is an arc groove, such as Figure 6 shown.

[0050] In order to prevent the connection sleeve 1003 from rotating in the circumferential direction relative to the support rod 5, the cross section of the support rod 5 is rectangular or square, and the cross section of the connection sleeve 1003 is set correspondingly to the cross section of the support rod 5, that is, if the cross section of the support rod 5 is rectangular, the cross section of the connection sleeve 1003 is also a correspondingly set rectangular, and if the cross section of the support rod 5 is square, the cross section of the connection sleeve 1003 is also a correspondingly set square. The support plate 1001 can be adjusted in the installation direction according to actual installation needs to meet the needs of different usage scenarios, such as Fig.11 As shown, the long side of the support plate 1001 is arranged vertically. Fig.12 As shown, the long side of the support plate 1001 is arranged horizontally.

[0051] At least one sensor 8 is connected to the support rod 5, and each sensor 8 is provided with a corresponding sensor mounting structure 10. In one embodiment, two sensors 8 are provided, and the interval between the two sensors 8 can be adjusted as needed.

[0052] The sensor bracket of the utility model can be fixed on the ground or a side column, which avoids the signal feedback error of the photoelectric sensor affected by the jitter of the conveying equipment and ensures the stability of the signal transmission. The bracket body is arranged vertically, and the support rod 5 is arranged horizontally. The spring 6 is arranged on the support rod 5, which can effectively prevent the bracket from being damaged after a horizontal collision, and further improve the stability of the photoelectric sensor. The sensor bracket can not only adjust the height of the sensor 8, but also adjust its horizontal position, and can adjust the distance between different sensors 8, which increases the scope of application of the sensor bracket, meets the use requirements of the same sensor bracket in different sites, and improves the overall convenience. A U-shaped groove structure is arranged on the support plate 1001 connected to the sensor 8, which can meet the different requirements of the installation angle of the photoelectric sensor and improve the stability of the photoelectric sensor signal acquisition.
