Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of proximity switches, and in particular relates to a proximity switch which is easy to install. Background Art
[0002] An integrated proximity switch is an advanced electronic sensing device that integrates key components such as sensors, signal processing circuits, and output interfaces into a compact package. This switch works by sensing the proximity or presence of an object, and the entire process requires no physical contact. When a target object enters its specific sensing range, the proximity switch can detect it extremely quickly and efficiently convert this detection information into an electrical signal for output. It has the remarkable characteristics of high precision, high reliability, and fast response, and is therefore widely used in many fields such as industrial automation, robotics, and logistics, mainly for various control and monitoring tasks such as position detection, counting, and object recognition.
[0003] The Chinese patent publication number "CN218788758U" discloses an integrated proximity switch, which includes a proximity switch body and a protective mechanism provided on the left side of the proximity switch body. The protective mechanism includes a protective cover. By providing an insulating cover, this integrated proximity switch can effectively prevent direct electrical contact during human use, thereby causing accidents; by providing a sensing head, the switch can be operated without any mechanical contact; by providing an anti-slip cover, the proximity switch body can be easily picked up during use to avoid slipping and falling; by providing an L-shaped block and a connecting block for clamping, the protective cover can protect the sensing head to prevent water or dust from entering; by providing a bolt and tightening the threaded hole on the connecting block, the protective cover and the sensing head can be controlled to be non-contact; by providing a turning handle and a rotating rod, the protective cover can be turned aside when it is not needed to avoid affecting use;
[0004] However, during actual use, although the above-mentioned device has a protective structure, the operation of the protective structure is relatively cumbersome and inconvenient during application. At the same time, during use, the overall installation needs to be assisted by bolts. If the integrated switch needs to be inspected, maintained or replaced during application, it is obviously difficult to achieve rapid disassembly and maintenance. There are many inconveniences in overall use, so it needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0028] Principle and advantages of use: In actual use, the device can place the proximity switch body 2 between the inner sides of the two clamping frames 35 on the front side of the track 31. By twisting the adjusting knob handle 363, the screw rod 33 can be driven to slide flexibly on the inner side of the track 31. When the screw rod 33 is rotated, the slider 34 inside the track 31 will be caused to slide synchronously. Since the threads at both ends of the screw rod 33 rotate in opposite directions, the slider 34 can be assisted to drive the clamping frames 35 to move relative to each other. When the clamping frames 35 are displaced from each other, they can clamp the proximity switch body 2 by virtue of their V-shaped structure. At this time, the top and bottom of the clamping frame 35 are limited by the limiting ring 32, which can further assist in adjusting the proximity switch body 2. The adjusting knob 363 is rotated again to drive the limit screw 362 to contact the side of the track 31, thereby fixing the adjusting hand wheel 361 and locking the screw rod 33, thereby realizing quick installation of the proximity switch body 2. If it is necessary to remove it, it is only necessary to loosen the adjusting knob 363 to drive the limit screw 362 to move outward and away from the track 31. At this time, by turning the adjusting hand wheel 361, the screw rod 33 drives the slider 34 to move outward, thereby causing the clamping frame 35 to move outward. As the clamping frame 35 moves outward, the proximity switch body 2 can be smoothly removed from the inner side of the clamping frame 35, thereby facilitating quick disassembly and assembly of the proximity switch body 2.
[0029] During use of the present device, the sliding block 53 can be adjusted upward so that it can slide smoothly on the inner side of the vertical rail 51, thereby prompting the protective cover 54 to cover the outer side of the sensing head 4 at the bottom of the proximity switch body 2. At this time, the magnetic ring 55 and the iron ring 52 are magnetically attracted to each other, and the protective cover 54 can be stably placed on the outer side of the sensing head 4, thereby achieving effective protection for the sensing head 4. When the proximity switch body 2 needs to be used, the magnetic ring 55 can be adjusted to move downward. After the magnetic ring 55 and the iron ring 52 are separated, the protective cover 54 can be tilted to one side, and the sensing head 4 can be exposed. It can be seen that during use, the present device is not only easy to disassemble and assemble as a whole, but also easy to cover and protect the sensing head 4, which can further improve the convenience of the overall use of the present device, significantly enhance the overall practicality of the present device, and is worthy of wide promotion and application.
