[0015] This application provides a tube-type proximity switch installer, which solves the problems of inconvenient installation, poor model matching, and material limitations that often exist in existing proximity switch installation methods. At the same time, fixing the proximity switch by welding brackets to the outer wall of the pipe or installing flanges requires damaging the pipe structure, which can easily lead to stress concentration, corrosion and leakage risks, and makes subsequent maintenance or position adjustment difficult.

[0016] The technical solution in this application is to solve the above problems, and the overall approach is as follows:

[0017] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0018] A card tube type proximity switch installer, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , comprising a card ring mounting seat 1, a card ring 2, a locking nut 3 and a proximity switch 4. The card ring mounting seat 1 is a cylindrical structure, one end of which is provided with a threaded hole for installing the proximity switch 4, and the side wall is provided with an observation port. The card ring mounting seat 1 is provided with a pipe slot matching the outer diameter of the pipe 5, and the curvature of the pipe slot can be adjusted to adapt to different pipe diameters. The card ring 2 is an elastic annular structure, which is sleeved outside the card ring mounting seat 1, and is used to prevent the pipe slot from being deformed outwardly during locking. The locking nut 3 is threadedly connected with the top of the card ring mounting seat 1, and the card ring 2 and the pipe slot are clamped together to clamp the pipe 5 by tightening operation, so as to realize the fixation of the installer.

[0019] The observation port is a rectangular or circular opening, which is used to observe the triggering state of the proximity switch 4 through the transparent pipe 5.

[0020] The inner wall of the card ring 2 closely fits the outer wall of the card ring mounting seat 1.

[0021] The inner side of the pipe slot is provided with anti-slip lines to enhance the friction with the pipe 5.

[0022] The outer surface of the locking nut 3 is provided with anti-slip protrusions to facilitate manual operation.

[0023] The card ring mounting seat 1 is a cylindrical body, one end of which is provided with a threaded hole for installing the proximity switch 4, the side wall is provided with a rectangular observation port, and the other end is provided with a pipe slot, the curvature of which is adapted to DN50 pipe;

[0024] The card ring 2 is sleeved outside the card ring mounting seat 1, and the inner diameter is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the mounting seat, so as to ensure that radial pressure is generated during locking;

[0025] The locking nut 3 is threadedly connected with the top of the card ring mounting seat 1, and the outer surface is provided with anti-slip protrusions.

[0026] Installation steps:

[0027] The proximity switch 4 is screwed into the threaded hole and fixed; the pipe slot is aligned with the outer wall of the pipe 5, and the card ring mounting seat 1 embraces the pipe; the card ring 2 is sleeved, and the locking nut 3 is tightened until the pipe 5 is clamped; the correspondence between the proximity switch 4 and the fluid state in the pipe is confirmed through the observation port.

[0028] Due to the adoption of the clamping ring mounting seat 1, the clamping ring 2, the locking nut 3, the proximity switch 4 and the pipeline 5, the compact design of the cylindrical clamping ring mounting seat 1 and the locking nut 3 is especially suitable for narrow pipeline gaps (such as dense pipelines in chemical plants), and the required installation space is small, which is suitable for narrow industrial environments. Through the cooperation of the clamping ring 2 and the locking nut 3, the installation can be quickly completed, and a large amount of time is saved compared with the traditional flange installation. The clamping force is evenly distributed through the clamping ring 2, avoiding surface indentation of the pipeline 5. The design of the observation port allows maintenance personnel to directly observe the flow state of the transparent pipeline (such as hydraulic oil bubble detection), and simultaneously verify the accuracy of the proximity switch 4 signal. The structure is convenient to install, does not require complex tools and professional skills, and the installation process is simple and fast, which can effectively shorten the installation time and improve the work efficiency. By adopting clamping instead of damaging the pipeline, the integrity of the pipeline is ensured, the risk of pipeline leakage is reduced, and the service life of the pipeline is prolonged. Different pipeline sizes, materials and special working condition requirements can be customized and processed, such as changing the radius of the clamping sleeve and the length of the clamping ring mounting seat, to meet various installation needs.
