Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photoelectric sensor manufacturing technology, and in particular to a testing device for photoelectric sensor manufacturing. Background Technology
[0002] Photoelectric sensors possess advantages such as high detection accuracy, fast response, and non-contact operation, and can measure a wide range of parameters. Their simple structure and flexible forms make them widely used in detection and control. Currently, after manufacturing, photoelectric sensors must undergo photoelectric testing to verify their proper function. An existing patent (publication number: CN220508097U) discloses a testing device for photoelectric sensor production. This device uses a plug to insert multiple photoelectric sensors into corresponding plugs for testing, then transmits the data back to the testing box, thus achieving the purpose of photoelectric sensor testing and significantly improving testing efficiency. However, in practical applications, connecting the photoelectric sensors to the plugs requires a robotic arm or manual operation. After testing one set of photoelectric sensors, a robotic arm or manual operation is needed to remove the tested sensors, and then insert the next set of sensors into the plug before the next round of testing can begin, wasting time. Therefore, we propose a testing device for photoelectric sensor production. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a testing device for the production of photoelectric sensors.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] Design a testing device for the production of photoelectric sensors, including a frame with a testing box at one end of the top, a display screen mounted on the testing box, a support plate on the side of the testing box, sockets evenly distributed on the support plate, a test frame above the frame, clamping openings corresponding one-to-one with the sockets in the test frame, a test plate movably disposed between the two sides of the top of the frame, an electric push rod with its stroke end pointing towards the test frame horizontally mounted on the support plate, and a conveyor belt below the frame.
[0006] In the above scheme, mounting slots are fixed on both sides of the frame, and a lead screw connected to the servo motor is installed in the mounting slot. A sliding block is threaded onto the lead screw, and a test plate is connected between adjacent sliding blocks.
[0007] In the above scheme, an assembly plate is fixed on the sliding block, and the test plate is connected to the assembly plate by fasteners.
[0008] In the above scheme, a vacuum suction cup is installed on the inner side wall of the clamping port, and a vacuum pump connected to the vacuum suction cup is installed on the test frame.
[0009] In the above scheme, a hoisting magnetic block is fixed at the top of the test frame.
[0010] In the above scheme, a threading tube is connected between the support plate and the testing box.
[0011] In the above scheme, a protective plate is fixed on the side of the test frame near the socket.
[0012] The advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up a frame, test plate, detection box, support plate, socket, test frame, clamping port, conveyor belt, and electric push rod, the photoelectric sensors to be tested are sequentially connected in the clamping port. Then, by means of a robotic arm or manual operation, one end of the photoelectric sensor exposed in the clamping port is connected to the socket. With the test plate in conjunction, as the test plate gradually approaches the photoelectric sensor, the photoelectric sensor detects the test plate and transmits the data back to the detection box. After completing the detection of a set of photoelectric sensors, the electric push rod is activated, causing the piston rod of the electric push rod to extend and push the test frame away from the support plate, thereby separating the photoelectric sensor from the socket. The test frame then falls onto the conveyor belt and is automatically transported forward. Compared with the prior art, there is no need to manually remove the photoelectric sensors that have completed the detection, making it more convenient, time-saving, and labor-saving. By setting up a vacuum suction cup and a vacuum pump, the air between the vacuum suction cup and the photoelectric sensor is removed by the vacuum pump, so that the vacuum suction cup and the photoelectric sensor are stably adsorbed, thereby stably connecting the photoelectric sensor and the test frame, and also facilitating disassembly.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a testing device for the production of photoelectric sensors, including a frame 1 with a testing box 8 at one end of the top, a display screen 18 installed on the testing box 8 for displaying testing data, a support plate 9 fixed to the frame 1 on the side of the testing box 8, sockets 10 evenly arranged on the support plate 9, a test frame 11 above the frame 1, and a clamping opening 12 corresponding to each socket 10 in the test frame 11, wherein the photoelectric sensor is set in the clamping opening 12, and the root of the photoelectric sensor protrudes from the clamping opening 12 for connection with the socket 10;
[0021] Furthermore, a vacuum suction cup 13 is installed on the inner wall of the clamping port 12, and a vacuum pump 14 connected to the vacuum suction cup 13 is installed on the test frame 11. The vacuum pump 14 is connected to the vacuum suction cup 13 through a suction pipe (not shown in the figure), and the vacuum suction cup 13 is also connected to a gas pipe (not shown in the figure) with a solenoid valve installed, so as to restore atmospheric pressure to the contact surface between the vacuum suction cup 13 and the photoelectric sensor.
[0022] Specifically, by setting up a vacuum suction cup 13 and a vacuum pump 14, the air between the vacuum suction cup 13 and the photoelectric sensor is removed by the vacuum pump 14, so that the vacuum suction cup 13 and the photoelectric sensor are stably adsorbed, thereby stably connecting the photoelectric sensor to the test frame 11 and facilitating disassembly.
[0023] Furthermore, a hoisting magnetic block 15 is fixed to the top of the test frame 11 for connection with the robotic arm.
[0024] Test plate 6 is movably mounted between the two sides of the top of frame 1;
[0025] Furthermore, mounting slots 2 are fixed on both sides of the frame 1. A lead screw 3 connected to the servo motor 7 is installed in the mounting slot 2. A sliding block 4 is threaded onto the lead screw 3. A test plate 6 is connected between adjacent sliding blocks 4. By starting the servo motor 7, the lead screw 3 is rotated, which in turn drives the sliding block 4 to move along the lead screw 3, thereby moving the test plate 6.
[0026] Furthermore, an assembly plate 5 is fixed on the sliding block 4, and the test plate 6 is connected to the assembly plate 5 by fasteners, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the test plate 6.
[0027] An electric push rod 17 with its stroke end pointing to the test frame 11 is horizontally mounted on the support plate 9. The electric push rods 17 are located at the four corners of the support plate 9. A conveyor belt 20 is provided below the frame 1.
[0028] Specifically, adjacent sockets 10 are connected in series, and sockets 10, detection box 8, electric push rod 17, servo motor and air pump 14 are all connected to the power supply.
[0029] Furthermore, a protective plate 16 is fixed on the side of the test frame 11 near the socket 10, and the length of the protective plate 16 is not less than the length of the photoelectric sensor exposed at the clamping opening 12, so as to prevent serious collision between the photoelectric sensor and the conveyor belt 20 when the test frame 11 falls on the conveyor belt 20, and effectively avoid damage to the photoelectric sensor.
[0030] Specifically, by setting up a frame 1, a test plate 6, a detection box 8, a support plate 9, a socket 10, a test frame 11, a clamping port 12, a conveyor belt 20, and an electric push rod 17, the photoelectric sensors to be tested are sequentially connected to the clamping port 12. Then, by means of a robotic arm or manual operation, one end of the photoelectric sensor exposed in the clamping port 12 is connected to the socket 10. With the test plate 6 in conjunction, as the test plate 6 gradually approaches the photoelectric sensor, the photoelectric sensor detects the test plate 6 and transmits the data back to the detection box 8. After completing the detection of a set of photoelectric sensors, the electric push rod 17 is activated, causing the piston rod of the electric push rod 17 to extend and push the test frame 11 away from the support plate 9, thereby separating the photoelectric sensor from the socket 10. The test frame 11 then falls onto the conveyor belt 20 and is automatically transported forward. Compared with the existing technology, there is no need to manually remove the photoelectric sensors that have completed the detection, making it more convenient, time-saving, and labor-saving.
[0031] Furthermore, a cable reel 19 is connected between the support plate 9 and the detection box 8; the cable reel 19 is used to lay cables so that the photoelectric sensor is connected to the detection box 8, and the data detected by the photoelectric sensor is transmitted to the detection box 8.
[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
