Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a protective structure, and more particularly to a reinforced protective structure suitable for laser line projectors. Background Technology
[0002] For existing laser marking equipment, the laser projection device is an instrument that can scan a 360° horizontal plane. If it is accidentally dropped, the laser projection window is easily shattered due to the impact and transmission of stress, affecting its use. Currently, the conventional protection methods are mainly to thicken the top or harden the outer shell. However, in the event of a drop impact, stress can still be directly transmitted to the glass through the outer shell structure, resulting in inadequate protection.
[0003] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings, the designer actively researched and innovated in order to create a reinforced protective structure suitable for laser line projectors, making it more valuable for industrial applications. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a reinforced protective structure suitable for laser line projectors.
[0005] This utility model discloses a reinforced protective structure for a laser projector, comprising a projector body with several vertical and horizontal windows. A reinforced top cover is mounted on the projector body. Vertical pre-drilled holes are distributed on the reinforced top cover at the positions corresponding to the vertical windows, and horizontal pre-drilled holes are distributed on the reinforced top cover at the positions corresponding to the horizontal windows. Window protective covers are installed in the pre-drilled holes, including vertical protective covers installed on the outside of the vertical windows and horizontal protective covers installed on the outside of the horizontal windows. A connector assembly is distributed at the top of the reinforced top cover, and the connector assembly is connected to a pre-drilled interface at the top of the projector body. Several auxiliary positioning mechanisms are distributed on the sides of the reinforced top cover, and the auxiliary positioning mechanisms are connected to the sides of the top of the projector body.
[0006] Furthermore, in the aforementioned reinforced protective structure applicable to laser line projectors, the vertical protective cover includes a vertical cover body, with vertical buffer pads distributed on the back of the vertical cover body. A through vertical light-transmitting groove is formed on the vertical cover body and the vertical buffer pads. A horizontal connecting strip extends from the upper end of the vertical cover body, and receiving holes are distributed at corresponding positions on the reinforced top cover. Inverted clips are mirror-distributed on both sides of the vertical buffer pads, and a connecting boss is provided at the lower end of the vertical buffer pads. When the vertical protective cover is combined with the vertical pre-drilled hole, the horizontal connecting strip is inserted into the receiving hole, the inverted clips are embedded in the inner edges on both sides of the vertical pre-drilled hole, and the connecting boss is embedded in the inner edge below the vertical pre-drilled hole.
[0007] Furthermore, in the aforementioned reinforced protective structure applicable to laser line projectors, an adhesive strip is provided on the inner side of the vertical cover body.
[0008] Furthermore, in the aforementioned enhanced protection structure for laser line projectors, the horizontal protective cover includes a horizontal cover body, with horizontal buffer pads distributed on the back of the horizontal cover body. Both the horizontal cover body and the horizontal buffer pads have through horizontal light-transmitting grooves. Several limiting buckles are distributed along the upper and lower edges of the horizontal buffer pads. When the horizontal protective cover is combined with the horizontal reserved hole, the limiting buckles are respectively fastened into the upper and lower edges of the inner side of the horizontal reserved hole.
[0009] Furthermore, in the aforementioned enhanced protection structure applicable to laser line projectors, grooves are distributed along the upper and lower edges of the inner side of the horizontal reserved hole, and the limiting buckle is embedded in the grooves; or, hooks are distributed along the upper and lower edges of the inner side of the horizontal reserved hole, and the limiting buckle is embedded in the hooks.

[0013] Furthermore, in the aforementioned reinforced protective structure applicable to laser line projectors, the inner top of the reinforced cover has several stress relief grooves distributed thereon.
[0014] By means of the above solution, this utility model has at least the following advantages:
[0015] 1. It is equipped with a reinforced top cover, which can provide semi-enclosed protection for the upper part of the laser projector that is prone to impact, providing external protection.

[0035] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 4This invention relates to a reinforced protective structure for laser projectors, comprising a projector body 1 with several vertical and horizontal windows. Its unique feature is the installation of a reinforced top cover 2 on the projector body 1 to withstand the stress impact during a drop. Simultaneously, the reinforced top cover 2 has vertical pre-drilled holes 3 corresponding to the vertical windows and horizontal pre-drilled holes 4 corresponding to the horizontal windows. This prevents obstruction of the laser emitted from the vertical and horizontal windows. Considering that the vertical and horizontal windows will also be subjected to stress impact during a drop, potentially causing the glass to shatter, the thickness of the reinforced top cover 2 alone is insufficient to buffer the stress impact from a fall from an extreme height. Therefore, this invention also installs window protective covers within the pre-drilled holes. This unique thickened design of the window protective covers provides effective cushioning. Considering the different locations, it includes a vertical protective cover 5 installed on the outside of the vertical windows and a horizontal protective cover 6 installed on the outside of the horizontal windows.
[0037] During implementation, considering the ease of connection between the reinforced cover 2 and the projector body 1, a connector component 15 is distributed at the top of the interior of the reinforced cover 2. This connector component 15 connects to a pre-reserved interface at the top of the projector body 1. This pre-reserved interface is typically used by the projector body 1 to install the original top anti-collision frame; it can be directly reused without extensive modifications to the projector body 1, thus improving compatibility. This ensures a secure connection. Simultaneously, several auxiliary positioning mechanisms are distributed on the sides of the interior of the reinforced cover 2, connecting to the sides of the top of the projector body 1. This allows the reinforced cover 2 to be better secured to the top of the projector body 1, preventing it from detaching due to stress during a drop.
[0038] According to a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the vertical protective cover 5 includes a vertical cover body, with vertical buffer pads 7 distributed on the back of the vertical cover body for thickening and buffering. Simultaneously, the vertical cover body and the vertical buffer pads have through vertical light-transmitting grooves 8. This ensures that the light path is not blocked during buffering protection. Furthermore, considering the stability of the connection, a horizontal connecting strip 9 extends from the upper end of the vertical cover body, and receiving holes are distributed at corresponding positions on the reinforced top cover 2. Inverted clips 10 are mirror-distributed on both sides of the vertical buffer pads, and a connecting boss 11 is provided at the lower end of the vertical buffer pads. Thus, when the vertical protective cover 5 is connected to the vertical pre-drilled hole 3, the horizontal connecting strip 9 is inserted into the receiving hole, the inverted clips 10 are embedded in the inner edges of both sides of the vertical pre-drilled hole 3, and the connecting boss 11 is embedded in the inner edge below the vertical pre-drilled hole 3. During the connection process, moderate elastic deformation ensures that the vertical protective cover 5 is tightly installed. This prevents it from falling off under stress impact. Furthermore, considering that the vertical protective cover 5 is most susceptible to impacts from scratches, rollovers, and other stresses during a typical drop, adhesive strips can be installed on the inner side of the vertical cover body. This adhesive bonding further enhances the tightness of the connection.
[0039] Similarly, the horizontal protective cover 6 used in this utility model includes a horizontal cover body, with horizontal buffer pads 12 distributed on the back of the horizontal cover body. Both the horizontal cover body and the horizontal buffer pads 12 have through-hole horizontal light-transmitting grooves 13. This allows the horizontal buffer pads 12 to absorb impact stress through their own elastic deformation. The vertical light-transmitting grooves 8 provide unobstructed clearance for the emitted light path. Simultaneously, considering the needs of installation and assembly, several limiting buckles 14 are distributed along the upper and lower edges of the horizontal buffer pads 12. When the horizontal protective cover 6 is assembled with the horizontal pre-drilled hole 4, the limiting buckles 14 respectively engage with the upper and lower edges of the inner side of the horizontal pre-drilled hole 4, achieving a biting-like engagement that prevents easy detachment. During implementation, grooves are distributed along the upper and lower edges of the inner side of the horizontal pre-drilled hole 4, and the limiting buckles 14 are embedded in these grooves. This achieves stable locking. Furthermore, hooks can also be distributed along the upper and lower edges of the inner side of the horizontal pre-drilled hole 4, and the limiting buckles 14 are embedded in these hooks. Therefore, different assembly and bonding needs can be met.
[0040] Furthermore, the connector assembly 15 includes a post, with an expansion ring surrounding the post. This allows for a proper interference fit during insertion, ensuring a tight connection. Moreover, it prevents loosening or separation under stress or impact.
[0041] In practical implementation, the auxiliary positioning mechanism is an inwardly extending limiting boss 17. After installation, it can be snapped into the edge of the corresponding position on the main body 1 of the projector. By reinforcing the appropriate deformation of the lower edge of the upper cover 2, a similar interlocking effect is achieved.
[0042] Furthermore, to provide additional reinforcement, several reinforcing columns 18 are distributed on the inner top of the reinforced cover 2. Simultaneously, several stress-relieving grooves 16 are distributed on the inner top of the reinforced cover 2. Thus, when the top is subjected to stress impact from a drop, the appropriate deformation of the stress-relieving grooves 16 can prevent further stress transmission to the projector body 1, achieving better protection.
[0043] During manufacturing, if the main body 1 of the projector is an upper-mounted button mechanism, the stress relief groove 16 can be replaced with a button through hole to avoid improper compression of the button mechanism.
[0044] As can be seen from the above textual description and the accompanying drawings, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0045] 1. It is equipped with a reinforced top cover, which can provide semi-enclosed protection for the upper part of the laser projector that is prone to impact, providing external protection.
[0046] 2. It is equipped with independent vertical and horizontal protective covers, which can effectively protect each projection window on the projector body from impact and prevent the lens from being impacted.
[0047] 3. After damage, the vertical and horizontal protective covers can be replaced independently, reducing the cost of use.
[0048] 4. It is equipped with additional reinforcing columns and stress relief grooves, which improves the protection against falls.
[0049] 5. The overall structure is simple and can be customized for the current model of the projector, with good adaptability.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
