[0004] However, when a conventional oil cylinder stroke detection mechanism is used, the stroke detection is performed by the distance that the oil cylinder piston rod is extended and retracted, which is prone to errors in calculation and has low accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model discloses an oil cylinder stroke detection mechanism, aiming to solve the technical problem that when a traditional oil cylinder stroke detection mechanism is used, stroke detection is performed through the distance of extension and retraction of an oil cylinder piston rod, errors are easily generated through calculation, and the accuracy is not high.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] Mounting seats are installed on both sides of the outer wall at the top of the linear rail base, and synchronous wheels are provided on the inner walls of the mounting seats. The same synchronous belt is connected between the two synchronous wheels, and the synchronous belt is used in conjunction with the pull rod body. A motor is provided on the outer wall of one side of the mounting seat, and one end of the motor output shaft is connected to one of the synchronous wheels. An encoder is provided on the outer wall of one side of the other mounting seat, and an inductive sensor is provided inside the encoder.

[0010] In this solution, the synchronous wheels are driven by a motor.

During the movement, the encoder cooperates with the inductive sensor to detect the stroke of the cylinder. The inductive sensor and encoder can obtain the stroke data of the cylinder from different angles and methods, thereby providing more comprehensive and accurate measurement results, and further improving the accuracy and reliability of stroke detection.

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application usually described and marked in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the application claimed for protection, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0022] The oil cylinder stroke detection mechanism disclosed by the utility model is mainly applied to the scenario where the traditional oil cylinder stroke detection mechanism is used, and the stroke detection is performed through the extension and retraction distance of the oil cylinder piston rod, and errors are easily generated through calculation, and the accuracy is not high.

[0024] Moving mechanism: used to move the position of the pull rod body 4;

[0025] Mounting seats 5 are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall at the top of the linear rail base 1, and synchronous wheels 7 are provided on the inner walls of the mounting seats 5. The same synchronous belt 8 is connected between the two synchronous wheels 7, and the synchronous belt 8 is used in conjunction with the pull rod body 4. A motor 6 is provided on the outer wall of one side of a mounting seat 5, and one end of the output shaft of the motor 6 is connected to a synchronous wheel 7. An encoder 9 is provided on the outer wall of one side of the other mounting seat 5, and an inductive sensor is provided inside the encoder 9.

[0026] In the specific working process, the motor 6 is started, and the motor 6 drives the synchronous wheel 7 on one side to rotate. Under the action of the synchronous belt 8, the two synchronous wheels 7 rotate synchronously, and the synchronous belt 8 can be driven to rotate forward and reverse, thereby changing the position of the pull rod body 4. During the movement, the encoder 9 cooperates with the inductive sensor to detect the position of the pull rod body 4, and then detects the stroke of the cylinder.

[0027] Among them, the inductive sensor is set as a cylindrical metal sensing surface type. The cylindrical metal sensing surface type inductive sensor is mainly used to detect the position changes of metal parts or pistons inside the cylinder, and generate corresponding electrical signals through the principle of electromagnetic induction. These electrical signals can be combined with the data of the encoder 9 to verify and calibrate the stroke data and provide more accurate position and status information.

[0028] Among them, the encoder 9 and the inductive sensor are used in conjunction with the pull rod body 4. The encoder 9 and the inductive sensor detect the displacement of the pull rod body 4, provide more accurate and comprehensive stroke data, and improve the reliability and efficiency of the cylinder operation.

[0029] It should be noted that when using the cylindrical metal sensing surface type inductive sensor and encoder 9 for cylinder stroke detection, ensure the calibration and maintenance of both. In actual use, confirm the accuracy of the signal interface and communication protocol between them to ensure that the data can be correctly transmitted and processed. By comparing and analyzing the data of the inductive sensor and encoder 9, abnormal conditions or faults can be discovered in time, which helps to detect and diagnose faults.

[0031] Specifically, the slider 10 slides on the slide rail 14 in the linear rail base 1, and under the transmission action of the synchronous belt 8, the pull rod seat 11 connected to the slider 10 is driven to move, so that the pull rod body 4 on the pull rod seat 11 moves, and the locking belt 12 allows the synchronous belt 8 and the pull rod seat 11 to move simultaneously, and can also limit the synchronous belt 8 in the middle.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2In a preferred embodiment, a same protective cover 2 is provided on the outer walls of both sides of the linear rail base 1.

[0033] Specifically, the protective cover 2 protects the internal components and does not hinder the operation of other workpieces during the detection process. During the installation process, corresponding threaded holes are opened on the linear rail base 1 and the protective cover 2, and the linear rail base 1 and the protective cover 2 are fixed by tightening the threaded holes with screws.

[0034] Working principle: When in use, start the motor 6, the synchronous wheel 7 drives the synchronous belt 8 to rotate, and under the action of the locking belt 12, the pull rod seat 11 is driven to slide on the slide rail 14 at the same time, so that the position of the pull rod body 4 is moved, and under the cooperation of the encoder 9 and the cylindrical metal sensing surface inductive sensor, the position of the pull rod body 4 is detected, and then the stroke of the cylinder is detected.

[0035] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this. The replacement can be a replacement of part of the structure, device, method step, or a complete technical solution. Equivalent replacement or change based on the technical solution of the utility model and its utility model concept should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
