[0002] A tilt sensor is a sensor that measures the tilt angle of an object. It is also called a tilt sensor or inclinometer. It can determine the degree of inclination of an object by measuring the tilt angle of the object relative to the horizontal plane. Tilt sensors are widely used in industrial automation, construction engineering, aerospace and other fields.

[0003] In order to facilitate the measurement of the inclination degree of an object, it is necessary to use a universal inclination sensor to measure the angle. For example, the prior art Chinese patent announcement number "CN219284277U" discloses an inclination sensor, including a sensor body, a connecting structure and a mounting structure. A connecting plate is provided at the bottom of the sensor body, a connector connected to an internal sensor chip is provided on one side of the sensor body, and a plurality of heat dissipation fins are vertically provided on the other three sides between the sensor body and the connecting plate.

[0004] Traditional inclination sensors use a top plate and a cover frame to install and fix the sensor body. However, in actual operation, considering that the top plate and the cover frame can only be used to install the sensor on flat objects, it is not convenient to install the sensor on objects with an angle or an arc-shaped surface, and the installation method is limited. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to solve the defect in the prior art that the sensor cannot be installed on an object with a curved surface or a right-angle surface, and proposes a universal inclination sensor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-4 A universal inclination sensor comprises a sensor body 2 arranged on the end surface of a base 1, wherein the base 1 is fixedly connected to the sensor body 2, and a mounting portion 4 for fixing the sensor body 2 is provided at the bottom thereof through a mounting block 3, one side of the base 1 is detachably connected to the mounting block 3 through a fixing member 5, and a heat sink 6 abutting against the sensor body 2 is provided at the other side thereof.

[0021] In detail, the base 1 is in a concave shape.

[0022] Furthermore, the mounting portion 4 includes a pair of mounting plates 41, which rotate coaxially through a rotating shaft 42 and are rotatably connected to the mounting block 3. The end surface of the mounting plate 41 is penetrated by a plurality of mounting holes 43 and a sponge pad 44 is provided on the bottom surface.

[0023] It is worth mentioning that the fixing method of the pair of mounting plates 41 refers to the fixing method of hinges. When the pair of mounting plates 41 are unfolded, they can be fixed on the surface of an object. Then, by bending the pair of mounting plates 41, they can be installed on a corner or an object with an arc-shaped surface, thereby realizing the universal characteristics of the inclination sensor.

[0024] The mounting plate 41 is fixed through the mounting holes 43 , and the sponge pad 44 enables the mounting plate 41 to hold the object tightly to make the installation more secure.

[0025] Furthermore, the fixing member 5 includes a recessed portion 51 provided on the top of the mounting block 3, a slide groove 52 is penetrated on one side of the base 1, a movable plate 53 is slidably connected in the slide groove 52, and a first spring 54 is fixedly connected between the inner side surface thereof and the side surface of the movable plate 53.

[0026] In more detail, a protrusion 55 is provided on the side of the movable plate 53, and the protrusion 55 can be inserted into the recessed portion 51. An unlocking block 56 is provided on the side of the movable plate 53 located at the periphery of the base 1. The unlocking block 56 is slidably connected to the slide groove 52 and has anti-slip grooves 57 on the outer wall.

[0027] The specific operation is that the first spring 54 is provided with a plurality of pieces, and under the elastic support of the first spring 54, the movable plate 53 drives the protrusion 55 to be inserted into the recessed portion 51, so as to achieve the function of fixing the mounting block 3 and the pair of mounting plates 41;

[0028] The unlocking block 56 is pushed to squeeze the first spring 54 so that the movable plate 53 drives the protruding portion 55 to move, and the mounting block 3 is disassembled after the protruding portion 55 is separated from the recessed portion 51 .

[0029] In general, a mounting groove 7 is penetrated on the other side of the base 1, heat dissipation holes 71 are penetrated on both sides of the mounting groove 7, and the heat sink 6 is clamped inside by a clamping member 8, and the heat sink 6 includes a plurality of integrally formed heat sinks 61 and protrusions 62 are provided on both sides of the heat sink 61.

[0030] Specifically, if the sensor body 2 is operated in a high temperature environment, the heat sink 6 cooperates with the heat dissipation holes 71 to guide and transfer the internal temperature to prevent the sensor body 2 from being damaged by the high temperature.

[0031] In addition, considering the low temperature environment, the heat sink 6 can be disassembled through the clamping member 8 to prevent loss.

[0032] Finally, the clamping member 8 includes a receiving groove 81 provided on both sides of the installation groove 7, a clamping block 82 is slidably connected in the receiving groove 81, and a second spring 83 is fixedly connected between the inner side surface thereof and the side surface of the clamping block 82, and the clamping block 82 can resist the protrusion 62.

[0033] It is worth mentioning that the block 82 has a triangular structure. The supporting force provided by the second spring 83 enables the block 82 to stop the protrusion 62 to prevent the heat sink 61 from moving at will. In addition, because the block 82 has inclined surfaces on both sides, the friction between the block 82 and the protrusion 62 can be reduced, so that the heat sink 61 can be easily disassembled and assembled by manual pulling.

[0034] Working mode; when working, the heat sink 61 is inserted into the mounting groove 7, and the clamping block 82 is clamped by the protrusion 62 under the action of the second spring 83 to fix the heat sink 61;

[0035] Afterwards, push the unlocking block 56 to drive the movable plate 53 and the protrusion 55 to move in the slide groove 52, and then insert the mounting block 3 into the base 1. Release the unlocking block 56. Under the action of the first spring 54, the protrusion 55 is snapped into the recessed portion 51 to fix the mounting block 3 and a pair of mounting plates 41.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner 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 technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
