[0025] 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 the embodiments.
[0026] Reference Figure 1-6 A proximity switch based on a Hall element design is shown, comprising: a proximity switch assembly and a circuit; the proximity switch assembly comprises a proximity switch mover 1 and a proximity switch stator 2, wherein the proximity switch mover 1 comprises a built-in magnet 11 and a protective shell fixedly mounted on the built-in magnet 11, the built-in magnet 1 is a neodymium iron boron magnet, the protective shell comprises an open magnet mounting seat 12 and a magnet cover 13 matched thereon, the proximity switch mover 1 is removable, in some embodiments, the proximity switch stator 2 comprises a built-in high-sensitivity sensor 21 and a shell 22 fixedly mounted on the built-in high-sensitivity sensor 21, the built-in high-sensitivity sensor 21 is fixedly connected to a cable 23, the cable 23 is arranged through the shell 22, the magnet cover 13 is fixed to the magnet mounting seat 12 by a clamping member, the shell 22 has the same structure as the protective shell, and the proximity switch stator 2 is also removable;
[0027] The length of the cable 23 can be customized. At the same time, in order to ensure applicability, the cable 23 is provided with a section in a snake-like curled shape, which can be stretched for use and avoids the situation where it hangs down too long and takes up space.
[0028] The circuit includes a power input circuit, a signal detection circuit, a switch circuit and an indicator light circuit. The power input circuit uses a 78L05 voltage regulator to convert a 24V input voltage into a 5V voltage, thereby powering the Hall element. The signal detection circuit is composed of multiple proximity switch components, specifically five proximity switches. The number of switches can be changed without affecting the implementation of the present invention. When the number of proximity switches changes, the accuracy and reliability of the power supply circuit and the signal detection circuit are positively correlated with the number of proximity switches. When sensing an external magnetic field, a 3.6V signal is output, otherwise a 0V signal is output. The signal detection circuit outputs a high and low level signal after passing through the switch circuit. The switch circuit adopts a PNP output circuit. In this embodiment, the switch circuit is composed of two transistors. The Hall element outputs high and low voltages when subjected to an external magnetic field, changing the voltage difference between the base and emitter of the transistor to output high and low level signals. The indicator light circuit is connected in parallel and indicates the switch output state. The high level output indicator light is on, and the low level output indicator light is off. The power input circuit is used to supply power to the signal detection circuit.
[0029] It also includes a control system, including a speed measuring device and the above-mentioned proximity switch designed based on the Hall element; the speed measuring device is connected to the proximity switch, and performs speed detection according to the high-level signal or low-level signal fed back by the proximity switch, and can coordinately detect the speed of the object. The speed measuring device receives high and low-level signals, and the frequency of these pulse signals is proportional to the rotational speed. By calculating the number of pulses received per unit time, the speed information can be obtained.
[0030] In practice, proximity switches can be embedded in control systems based on specific application scenarios or customer sites. For example, in an automotive production line, it is necessary to detect the location and quantity of parts. By connecting the output signal of a Hall effect device-based proximity switch to the PLC of the production line control system, the presence and location of parts can be determined by reading the high and low level pulse signals. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the aforementioned application in automated control of automotive production lines is merely an aid to understanding the present invention and should not be construed as a specific limitation of the present invention.
[0031] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
