Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sensor protection, and in particular to a sensor lateral protection device. Background Technology

[0002] A sensor lateral protection device is a device or structure used to protect sensors from damage caused by various factors in the lateral direction, ensuring that the sensors can work normally and stably. It prevents mechanical damage to the sensors from collisions, scratches, and squeezing by external objects. For some sensors that are susceptible to electromagnetic interference, such as capacitive and inductive sensors, lateral protection devices can use metal shields or conductive coatings to block external electromagnetic signals from interfering with the sensors, ensuring the accuracy and stability of sensor measurements.

[0003] In practical applications, sensor lateral protection devices are essential because sensors come in a variety of sizes. Adjustable, fixed-size protection devices can be flexibly adjusted to fit various sensor sizes, improving the versatility and applicability of the protection device. This avoids the need for custom-made protection devices for different sensor sizes, reducing costs. Adjustable protection devices can be tailored to the specific dimensions of the sensor on-site, eliminating the need for time-consuming model searches or complex installation adaptations required with fixed-size protection devices. This saves installation time and labor costs, improving overall installation efficiency. By adjusting the size of the protection device, it can fit snugly against the sensor without gaps, providing more uniform and stable support and protection in the lateral direction. Whether preventing collisions with external objects or resisting the effects of electromagnetic interference, dust, moisture, and other environmental factors, it provides better protection, reducing the possibility of sensor malfunction or damage due to lateral interference and extending the sensor's lifespan.

[0004] Sensor protection devices for sensors vary in size between different manufacturers of the same type, and even between different series of sensors from the same manufacturer. Fixed-size, non-adjustable protection devices can only fit sensors of a specific size, making them unusable for other sizes. This significantly limits sensor selection in practical applications, increasing procurement costs and management complexity. Because the protection device's size is fixed, precise matching of the sensor size is required during installation, demanding high technical skills from installers and requiring more time and effort for installation and debugging, thus reducing installation efficiency. In certain special installation environments, such as confined spaces or irregularly shaped locations, fixed-size, non-adjustable protection devices may not be able to be installed smoothly, or may interfere with the normal operation of the sensor, or even cause interference between the protection device and surrounding components. If the size of the protection device does not precisely match the sensor, gaps or excessive tightness may occur. Gaps prevent the sensor from receiving tight lateral protection, allowing external objects to impact the sensor, or allowing dust and moisture to enter, affecting sensor performance. Excessive tightness may exert additional pressure on the sensor, causing deformation, affecting measurement accuracy, or even damaging the sensor. Therefore, a sensor lateral protection device is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0039] Working principle: During operation, motor 2 starts, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. Its drive end drives gear 3 to rotate. Since gear 3 meshes with internal gear 5, according to the gear transmission principle, the rotation of gear 3 will drive internal gear 5 to rotate circumferentially on the inner wall of the hollow cylinder 1 through the friction between the teeth. At the same time, the rotation of internal gear 5 drives multiple gears 6 to rotate. When multiple gears 6 rotate, they drive rack 8, causing the slider 7 connected to the bottom of rack 8 to slide to achieve an adjustable and fixed effect, so that the square sensor can be disassembled or installed and replaced. The slider 7 is connected to a connecting rod 9 inside. The outer side of the connecting rod 9 moves along the groove opened in the circular plate 4 to achieve a limiting effect. The limiting block 10 connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 9 slides at the bottom of the circular plate 4 to provide a limiting effect when the slider 7 slides.

[0040] When motor 11 starts, it converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, driving gear 12 at the drive end to rotate. Gear 12 meshes with gear 15. The rotation of gear 12 drives gear 15 to rotate, causing connecting rod 14 inside gear 15 to rotate. This, in turn, causes connecting ring 16 on the outer wall of connecting rod 14 to rotate, resulting in the rotation of connecting rod 17 connected to the outside of connecting ring 16. Support rod 18 is fixed inside the two connecting rods 17, ensuring coordinated and stable movement of the two connecting rods 17. The connecting ring at one end of connecting rod 17... The second 19 also moves and can rotate flexibly around the fixed rod 20. The connecting plates 21 at both ends of the fixed rod 20 play the role of changing and transmitting the direction of motion during the entire transmission process. The fixed block 22 on the inner wall of the hollow cylinder 1, and the connecting plate 23 rotatably connected to its bottom end, are driven to rotate by the front transmission structure. The fixed block 24 rotatably connected to the other side of the connecting plate 23 transmits the motion to the movable door 25 fixedly connected to its bottom end, so that the movable door 25 completes the opening or closing action on one side along the predetermined track, realizing the function of the box door assembly.
