[0018] This utility model provides, for example Figs. 1-2 The illustrated integrated light curtain housing includes:
[0019] The main shell 1 has an arc-shaped top and end caps 2 at both ends. The end caps 2 are fixedly connected to the surface of the end caps 3, which are L-shaped. The main shell 1 has an installation groove 4 inside, and a light curtain circuit board 5 for electrical connection with the lamp is provided in the installation groove 4. A light filter plate 6 is provided at the center of the top of the main shell 1.
[0020] The end cap 2 has several threaded holes 7 on its surface, and the end cap 2 is screwed to the main shell 1 by screws that pass through the threaded holes 7.
[0021] The end cap 2 has a wiring hole 8 in the middle for electrically connecting the wires to the light curtain circuit board 5. The wiring hole 8 can be sealed after the wires pass through, effectively preventing dust from entering the interior of the main shell 1.
