[0002] A proximity switch is a sensor that uses various principles for induction, used to detect the distance between an object or a target object and the sensor. It can monitor the presence or departure of an object from a certain position and control equipment or perform corresponding operations by outputting signals. Most of the existing proximity switches are Figure 1 As shown, after being connected to an external power supply structure through a circuit base, power is supplied to the internal induction rod. After the induction rod is energized, it uses principles such as magnetic field, electromagnetic induction, or capacitance. When the detected object approaches, they will change the characteristics of the electric or magnetic field around the sensor, thereby triggering the sensor to output a signal. The problems existing in the above technical solutions are that the induction end of the proximity switch is directly exposed outside. Therefore, when the induction end is subjected to an external impact, it will cause inward depression. After the induction end is impacted, it may cause damage or damage to the sensor components, affecting its normal operation or accurate performance. At the same time, the depression may change the shape and position of the induction end, thereby interfering with the signal transmission and detection functions of the sensor, resulting in misjudgment or interference.

Therefore, when the induction end is subjected to an external impact, it will cause inward depression. After the induction end is impacted, it may cause damage or damage to the sensor components, affecting its normal operation or accurate performance. At the same time, the depression may change the shape and position of the induction end, thereby interfering with the signal transmission and detection functions of the sensor, resulting in misjudgment or interference.
[0004] To solve the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a proximity switch with a protection structure, which includes a housing, a circuit base, and an induction rod.
