Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of sensors, in particular to a sensor device. Background Art

[0002] Sensor devices play an important role in modern science and technology. They can convert various physical quantities into electrical signals and monitor the environment and equipment status in real time. Among them, pressure sensors, weighing sensors and photoelectric sensors are the more common ones. Pressure sensors are widely used in industrial automation and environmental monitoring, mainly used to monitor the pressure changes of gases or liquids. Weighing sensors are often used in commercial weighing and material control, and the mass is inferred by measuring the deformation of the object under force. Photoelectric sensors, as a special sensor, use the photoelectric effect to detect and measure changes in light. They are highly sensitive to light and can quickly convert light signals into electrical signals. Therefore, they are widely used in fields such as automated control, safety protection and precision measurement. For example, on automated production lines, photoelectric sensors can detect the presence, position and speed of objects to achieve precise control. In safety protection systems, they can detect abnormal situations in time and trigger alarms. In the field of precision measurement, the high precision and high sensitivity of photoelectric sensors make them important tools.

[0003] At present, traditional photoelectric sensors do have many shortcomings in practical applications. First, the installation process may be quite cumbersome and often requires the use of professional installation steps and complex tools, which undoubtedly increases the user's operating difficulty and time cost. Secondly, the limitation of wired connection is also a significant problem. Many traditional photoelectric sensors still rely on wired connection for data transmission, which is particularly inconvenient in situations where wiring is complex or mobility requirements are high, and may even become a bottleneck for use. In addition, wired connection also means that the layout of the sensor is strictly limited by the length of the cable, further reducing its flexibility and convenience of use. Therefore, in response to these problems, there is an urgent need for a sensor device that is easy to install and supports wireless connection to meet the needs of increasingly diverse application scenarios.
