DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the present invention will be briefly introduced below in conjunction with the drawings and the description of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the following description of the structures of the drawings is only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention. Example

[0017] like Figure 1-2As shown, this embodiment provides a proximity switch mounting anti-collision bracket, including a mounting base 1, a buffer plate 2 and an anti-collision plate 3. The middle part of the anti-collision plate 3 is detachably fixedly mounted with a proximity switch 4, and the buffer plate 2 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the mounting base 1. A hollow hole 21 is opened in the middle part of the buffer plate 2, and several sliding holes 24 are evenly opened around the hollow hole 21. A guide rod 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole 24, and one end of the guide rod 5 is threadedly connected to a blocking nut 51, and the other end of the guide rod 5 is threadedly connected to two positioning nuts 52. Mounting holes 31 are opened on the surface of the anti-collision plate 3 corresponding to each sliding hole 24, and the other end of the guide rod 5 is inserted into the mounting hole 31, and the anti-collision plate 3 is clamped and fixed between the two positioning nuts 52. A buffer spring 6 is provided on the outer sleeve of the guide rod 5, and the two ends of the buffer spring 6 respectively contact one side of the anti-collision plate 3 and one side of the buffer plate 2, and a torsion anti-collision mechanism is provided between the buffer plate 2 and the mounting base 1.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, further, the torsional anti-collision mechanism includes two balancing rods 7, and horizontally arranged strip holes 22 are opened on the left and right sides of the bottom of the buffer plate 2. The balancing rod 7 is movably connected to the corresponding strip holes 22, and both ends of the balancing rod 7 are fixedly connected to the axle seat 9, and the axle seat 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base 1. Two balancing springs 8 are provided on the outside of the balancing rod 7, and the two ends of the balancing spring 8 respectively conflict with the buffer plate 2 and the axle seat 9.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, further, a rotating shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the buffer plate 2, and the buffer plate 2 is connected to the middle of the mounting base 1 through the bearing of the rotating shaft 23.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, further, both left and right sides of the buffer plate 2 are configured as semicircular arc surfaces through guide circles.

[0021] Specifically, in order to prevent the proximity switch 4 from being accidentally damaged after being installed on the equipment, a buffer plate 2 is provided at the center of the top of the mounting base 1, and four slidable guide rods 5 are provided on one side thereof, which are fixedly connected to the anti-collision plate 3 through two positioning nuts 52. The proximity switch 4 is fixedly installed in the middle of the anti-collision plate, and a buffer spring 6 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 5 to contact between the buffer plate 2 and the anti-collision plate 3;

[0022] When the proximity switch 4 is hit head-on, the force is transmitted to the buffer spring 6 by hitting the anti-collision plate 3. The compression of the buffer spring 6 offsets the applied impact force. At the same time, the proximity switch 4 also moves closer to the buffer plate 2 under the guidance of the guide rod 5 along with the anti-collision plate 3 to avoid it, thereby effectively preventing the proximity switch 4 from being damaged by accidental impact, thereby effectively extending the service life of the proximity switch 4;

[0023] On the other hand, when the proximity switch 4 is subjected to a lateral impact force, the impact force acts on one side of the buffer plate 2, causing the buffer plate 2 to deflect due to the force, thereby simultaneously compressing the four balancing springs 8 through its front and rear surfaces. The balancing springs 8 thus offset the lateral impact force, thereby effectively preventing the proximity switch 4 from being damaged. By providing a strip hole 22 at the bottom of the buffer plate 2 and allowing the balancing rod 7 to move inside it, when the buffer plate 2 rotates, it can drive the strip groove seat to a large angle, thereby compressing the balancing spring 8. When the impact force disappears, it can return to its original state through elastic force.

[0024] Secondly, in order to better prevent the buffer plate 2 from rotating and being unable to offset the impact force during a collision, both sides of the buffer plate 2 are set to semicircular arc surfaces, so that the buffer plate 2 can be more easily rotated during the collision through the action of the arc surface, which is beneficial to the transmission of the impact force.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, further, the anti-collision plate 3 is made of carbon steel or nylon material. By using high-strength materials to make the anti-collision plate, the anti-collision bracket is made more firm and reliable, and the anti-collision plate can be disassembled and replaced conveniently and quickly, which is more conducive to the maintenance work of the anti-collision bracket.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, further, mounting grooves 11 are provided at the four corners of the top of the mounting base 1 , and the mounting base 1 is fixedly mounted to the device by means of mounting bolts passing through the mounting grooves 11 .

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
