[0034] Specifically, when the anti-interference photoelectric sensor is working / in use: the core part of the photoelectric sensor includes a sensing module 1 and a sensing end 2 electrically connected thereto. The surface of the sensing module 1 is designed with a shielding structure 3, which is mainly composed of an inner ring 4 and an outer ring 5. Both are arc-shaped and can form a closed chamber to shield the sensing end 2. The inner ring 4 is located at the center of the surface of the sensing module 1, and the outer ring 5 is located at the bottom of the inner ring 4, surrounding and partially covering the inner ring 4. Connecting rings 6 are fixed to the surfaces of the inner ring 4 and the outer ring 5. These connecting rings 6 are slidably connected to the sensing module 1, so that the inner ring 4 and the outer ring 5 can be in the sensing module 1. The surface of the module 1 rotates. When it is necessary to adjust the collection direction of the sensing end 2 or change its exposure level to cope with different interference environments, the user can change the overlapping area between them by rotating the inner ring 4 and the outer ring 5. In this way, part of the sensing end 2 will be exposed, while other parts will still be blocked. This design allows the user to flexibly adjust the collection direction and range of the sensing end 2 according to actual needs. In order to ensure that the inner ring 4 and the outer ring 5 can maintain a stable position after adjustment, the surface of the sensing module 1 is also designed with a positioning structure 7. This structure includes an adjustment ring 8 sleeved on the surface of the sensing module 1, and the surface of the adjustment ring 8 is fixed with teeth.

In order to further adjust the shielding distance of the shielding structure 3, an adjustment structure 11 is also provided on the sensing module 1. A bracket 14 is fixed on the surface of the adjusting ring 8. One side of the bracket 14 extends to the inner side of the rocker 13, and a slide bar 15 is fixed on its surface. When the rocker 13 swings, it uses the slide bar 15 to push the bracket 14 together with the adjusting ring 8 to slide horizontally and apply pressure when the rack 9 is fully inserted into the tooth groove 10 and push the inner ring 4 and the outer ring 5 to move outward synchronously. The movement changes the shielding distance of the shielding structure 3. In order to more accurately control the swing of the rocker arm 13, a bolt 16 is threadedly connected to the top of the sensing module 1. A traction rod 17 is movably connected to the inner side of the bolt 16. Both ends of the traction rod 17 extend to the inner side of the rocker arm 13 and are slidably connected to the rocker arm 13. When the bolt 16 moves horizontally through the thread, it drives the traction rod 17 to slide inside the rocker arm 13 and pushes the rocker arm 13 to swing. In addition, a support ring 19 is fixed to the surface of the inner ring 4. The elasticity of the compression spring 21 can support the support ring 19, thereby ensuring that the inner ring 4 and the outer ring 5 can remain stable during rotation and positioning.
