Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of installation structures, and in particular to an installation structure for a photoelectric sensor. Background Technology

[0002] A photoelectric sensor is a device that converts light signals into electrical signals. Its working principle is based on the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect refers to the phenomenon where, when light shines on certain materials, the electrons in the material absorb the energy of the photons, resulting in a corresponding electrical effect. When using a photoelectric sensor, it is necessary to install it.

[0003] In most existing photoelectric sensors, the sensor is fixed to the bracket by screws or threads. This method requires welding the bracket when there is no bracket available, which makes the installation process complicated and affects the installation efficiency.

[0004] In related technologies, a combination of clamping plates and springs is used to limit the installation of photoelectric sensors, which speeds up the installation of photoelectric sensors. However, due to the complexity of the clamping structure, the production efficiency is low, the cost is high, and it is not convenient to install on various platforms, resulting in inconvenience in use.

[0008] The photoelectric sensor body is mounted on one side of the plate, and the plate has a circular through groove in the center.

[0009] The transmitter is fixedly connected to one side of the photoelectric sensor body;

[0010] The transmitter and the plate are connected by a mounting assembly; the mounting assembly includes:

[0011] A disc body is disposed on one side of the plate body;

[0012] The first buckle is fixedly connected to one side of the disc body, and the first buckle passes through the positioning hole in the center of the plate body;

[0017] An elastic structure is mounted at one end on the photoelectric sensor body, and the other end of the elastic structure abuts against the surface of the plate.

[0018] Optionally, the limiting mechanism includes:

[0019] A limiting block is fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the connection point between the first buckle and the disc body;

[0020] A limiting groove is formed inside the positioning hole on the plate, and the size and shape of the limiting groove are matched with the limiting block.

[0021] Optionally, a protective component is provided on one side of the photoelectric sensor body; the protective component includes:

[0022] A protective housing is installed on one side of the photoelectric sensor body;

[0023] A protective sleeve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the photoelectric sensor body and the protective shell, and is used to protect the wires at the bottom of the photoelectric sensor body.

[0024] A positioning hole is provided on one side of the protective shell, and the positioning hole integrates a light-transmitting window and a mechanical reinforcement structure.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0031] This device, through the cooperation of a double set of buckles and a limiting mechanism, allows the photoelectric sensor body to be installed using only the first buckle. Simultaneously, by simply prying the second buckle from inside the first groove and disassembling the first buckle's protrusion from the groove, the photoelectric sensor body can be removed. This improves the efficiency of disassembling and installing the photoelectric sensor body, facilitates maintenance, saves labor costs, and reduces production costs by modifying the installation structure. Furthermore, the symmetrically distributed elastic structure provides continuous reaction force during installation through compression deformation, counteracting displacement caused by vibration and increasing the service life of the photoelectric sensor body.

[0041] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "transverse," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of this utility model is in use, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly understood by those skilled in the art. They are only used to facilitate the description of this utility model and to simplify the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0042] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0043] In the current technology, the use of a combination of clamping plates and springs to limit the installation of photoelectric sensors has accelerated the installation process. However, the clamping structure is relatively complex, resulting in low production efficiency, high cost, and inconvenience in installation on various platforms.

[0044] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a photoelectric sensor mounting structure, including: a photoelectric sensor body 1, which is mounted on one side of a plate 2, and a circular through groove is opened in the center of the plate 2; a transmitter 5, which is fixedly connected to one side of the photoelectric sensor body 1, and the transmitter 5 and the receiver are a set of devices, and the receiver can be installed on the side opposite to the transmitter 5 (the receiver is prior art and also adopts the technology of this utility model, but is not shown in the figure and will not be described in detail here); the transmitter 5 and the plate 2 are connected by a mounting assembly 3; the mounting assembly 3 includes: a disk 31, which is disposed on one side of the plate 2; and a first buckle 3. 2. A first buckle 32 is fixedly connected to one side of the plate body 31 and passes through the positioning hole in the center of the plate body 2; a slot 33 is opened on the outside of the transmitter 5 and the size and shape of the slot 33 match the first buckle 32; a second buckle 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the first buckle 32; a first groove 35 is opened on the side of the photoelectric sensor body 1 and the second buckle 34 is inserted into the first groove 35; a limiting mechanism 36 is set on the first buckle 32 and the plate body 2; an elastic structure 37 is installed on the photoelectric sensor body 1 at one end and abuts the surface of the plate body 2 at the other end.

[0045] The photoelectric sensor body 1 operates based on the photoelectric effect, converting light signals into electrical signals. The photoelectric effect refers to the phenomenon where electrons in a substance absorb the energy of photons and produce corresponding electrical effects when light shines on them (the photoelectric sensor body 1 is publicly available technology and will not be described in detail here). When installing the photoelectric sensor body 1, first insert the first clip 32 on one side of the disk 31 through the positioning hole inside the plate 2. During insertion, ensure that the limiting block 361 is aligned with the limiting slot 362. Then, lift the photoelectric sensor body 1 and align the slots 33 on both sides of the transmitter 5 with the first clip. When the latch 32 is pushed towards the plate 2, and the photoelectric sensor body 1 is pushed, the operator holds the disc 31 by hand or fixes the disc 31 to the plate 2 with bolts or other tools. The first latch 32 has controllable elastic deformation capability. When the transmitter 5 is inserted into the first latch 32, it will cause the first latch 32 to deform outward until the slot 33 reaches the protrusion of the first latch 32. The first latch 32 will then be locked into the inside of the slot 33 under elastic potential energy, thus fixing the transmitter 5 (the fixing principle of the latch is existing technology and will not be described in detail here). At the same time, the second... The first clip 34 is inserted into the first groove 35, and the length of the first groove 35 is greater than the length of the second clip 34. When it is necessary to disassemble the photoelectric sensor body 1, the operator only needs to insert his finger into the first groove 35 and gently pry the second clip 34 to pry the protrusion of the first clip 32 out of the slot 33, thereby releasing the installation of the photoelectric sensor body 1. This is convenient and quick. At the same time, during the insertion of the transmitter 5, the elastic structure 37 will undergo elastic deformation. The elastic deformation of the elastic structure 37 abuts against the surface of the plate 2, increasing the protection of the photoelectric sensor. The fixed effect of the main body 1, and the symmetrically distributed elastic structure 37 compresses and deforms during installation, providing a continuous reaction force to counteract the displacement caused by vibration, thereby increasing the service life of the photoelectric sensor main body 1. In addition, since the limiting block 361 on one side of the first buckle 32 is inserted into the limiting groove 362, the limiting groove 362 restricts the limiting block 361 to move only along the direction of insertion of the first buckle 32, thereby preventing the first buckle 32 from rotating with the photoelectric sensor main body 1 and the transmitter 5 after the photoelectric sensor main body 1 is installed, thus affecting the fixed effect of the photoelectric sensor main body 1.

[0046] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism 36 includes: a limiting block 361, which is fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the connection between the first buckle 32 and the disk body 31; and a limiting groove 362, which is opened inside the positioning hole on the plate body 2. The size and shape of the limiting groove 362 are matched with the limiting block 361. The number of limiting blocks 361 and limiting grooves 362 are the same, and multiple of them are provided to enhance the limiting effect on the first buckle 32 and prevent the first buckle 32 from rotating with the transmitter 5.

[0047] Furthermore, a protective component 4 is provided on one side of the photoelectric sensor body 1; the protective component 4 includes: a protective shell 41, installed on one side of the photoelectric sensor body 1; a protective sleeve 42, fixedly connected to the bottom of the photoelectric sensor body 1 and the protective shell 41, used to protect the wires at the bottom of the photoelectric sensor body 1; and a positioning hole 43, opened on one side of the protective shell 41. The positioning hole 43 integrates a light-transmitting window and a mechanical reinforcement structure. Through topology optimization, the local stiffness is improved, thereby reducing the probability of deformation of the protective shell 41. At the same time, the light-transmitting window on the positioning hole 43 allows the light from the indicator light (not shown in the indicator light diagram) to pass through, thereby facilitating installation by the operator. During installation, the indicator light on the transmitter section of this device illuminates. After the receiver section is powered on, visual cues help the operator confirm the installation status of the transmitter 5 and the receiver, facilitating the installation process. After adjusting and installing the device so that the light emitted by the transmitter 5 is aligned with the receiving end of the receiver, the operator is notified by the brightness of the indicator light that the receiver has received the signal and can output the signal normally. In addition, the protective shell 41 and the photoelectric sensor body 1 are integrated through injection molding, providing a certain degree of protection for the internal circuitry and optical path, and reducing the damage to the internal electrical components caused by the photoelectric sensor body 1 being dropped.

[0048] Furthermore, an infrared-transmitting plastic sheet is provided at the center of the disk body 31, and the center of the disk body 31 is at the same height as the light outlet of the transmitter 5. When the transmitter 5 is installed, the light emitted from inside the transmitter 5 passes through the center of the disk body 31 and is directed to the receiver of another photoelectric sensor body 1, thereby realizing the photoelectric sensor body 1 to be installed in a photoelectric manner.

[0049] Furthermore, the first buckle 32, the slot 33, the second buckle 34, and the first groove 35 form a group, and two groups are provided on the disc body 31 and the transmitter 5 to enhance the stability of fixing the transmitter 5.

[0050] Furthermore, to facilitate the easy prying of the second buckle 34, the length of the first groove 35 is greater than the length of the second buckle 34, making it easier for the operator to insert their fingers into the first groove 35 to pry the second buckle 34.

[0051] Furthermore, two elastic structures 37 are installed on one side of the photoelectric sensor body 1, and the two elastic structures 37 are symmetrically arranged to increase the contact area of ​​the elastic structures 37, thereby enhancing the stability of the installation of the photoelectric sensor body 1.

[0052] Furthermore, the elastic structure 37 has an S-shaped cross-section and is integrally molded. The materials used to make it can be elastic materials such as ABS plastic, rubber, and metal sheets, which gives the elastic structure 37 the properties of corrosion resistance, friction resistance, and chemical resistance.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
