Technical Field

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0027] Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a displacement detection device and an object provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 2 The diagram shows the arrangement of a photoelectric sensor assembly and a light-blocking part according to an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the displacement detection device 10 is configured to detect the displacement of the object 2 along a first horizontal direction X1. The displacement detection device 10 includes a support assembly 100, a guide assembly 200, a light-blocking assembly 300, and a plurality of photoelectric sensor assemblies 400. The guide assembly 200 is slidably connected to the support assembly 100 along the first horizontal direction X1, such that the end of the guide assembly 200 in the first horizontal direction X1 can abut against the object 2. The light-blocking assembly 300 is connected to the guide assembly 200, so that the guide assembly 200 can drive the light-blocking assembly 300 to move along the first horizontal direction X1. The light-blocking assembly 300 has a plurality of light-blocking portions 301 arranged at intervals along a second horizontal direction X2, which is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction X1. Multiple photoelectric sensor components 400 are disposed on the support component 100 and located below the light-blocking component 300. The multiple photoelectric sensor components 400 are arranged in multiple columns along a second horizontal direction X2, and the columns of photoelectric sensor components 400 are staggered along a first horizontal direction X1. Multiple light-blocking parts 301 are respectively disposed corresponding to the columns of photoelectric sensor components 400 along the first horizontal direction X1. Each photoelectric sensor component 400 can emit a light beam 4001 along the second horizontal direction X2. During the movement of the object 2 driving the guide component 200 and the light-blocking component 300 along the first horizontal direction X1, at least some of the light-blocking parts 301 can sequentially block the light beam 4001 emitted by the corresponding photoelectric sensor component 400. When the light beam 4001 emitted by the photoelectric sensor component 400 is blocked by the corresponding light-blocking part 301, the photoelectric sensor component 400 can issue an alarm to detect the displacement of the object 2 along the first horizontal direction X1.
[0028] Because the displacement detection device 10 has a simple structure and the photoelectric sensor assembly 400 has a low cost, the displacement detection device 10 has a low manufacturing cost.
[0029] For example, the support component 100 is provided with a slide rail extending along a first horizontal direction X1, the guide component 200 is connected to the slider, and the slider is slidably connected to the slide rail, so as to realize the slidable connection between the guide component 200 and the support component 100 along the first horizontal direction X1. For example, two parallel guide plates are provided above the support component 100, the guide plates extend along the first horizontal direction X1, the guide component 200 is located above the support component 100 and between the two guide plates, and both sides of the guide component 200 are slidably connected to the two guide plates respectively, so as to realize the slidable connection between the guide component 200 and the support component 100 along the first horizontal direction X1.
[0030] For example, such as Figure 2As shown, multiple photoelectric sensor components 400 are arranged in multiple columns along the second horizontal direction X2, and each column of photoelectric sensor components 400 includes only one photoelectric sensor component 400. The number of light-blocking parts 301 is the same as the number of photoelectric sensor components 400. During the movement of the object 2 driving guide component 200 and the light-blocking component 300 along the first horizontal direction X1, the multiple light-blocking parts 301 can sequentially block the light beam 4001 emitted by the corresponding photoelectric sensor component 400.
[0031] For example, the alarm prompt issued by the photoelectric sensor assembly 400 may be an audible alarm, a light alarm, or the like.
[0032] In some embodiments, the photoelectric sensor components 400 in each column are arranged in N rows along a first horizontal direction X1, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2. The distance between two beams 4001 emitted by two photoelectric sensor components 400 located in the nth row of adjacent columns along the first horizontal direction X1 is a first preset distance L1. The distance between the beam 4001 emitted by the photoelectric sensor component 400 in the (n-1)th row of the last column and the beam 4001 emitted by the photoelectric sensor component 400 in the nth row of the first column along the first horizontal direction X1 is the first preset distance L1, where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to N. After the guide component 200 comes into contact with the object 2, during the process of the object 2 driving the guide component 200 and the light blocking component 300 to move sequentially along the first horizontal direction X1 by a first preset distance L1, the multiple light blocking parts 301 block the light beams 4001 emitted by the multiple photoelectric sensor components 400 in each row in the order from the first row to the Nth row. For the multiple photoelectric sensor components 4001 in each row, the multiple light blocking parts 301 block the light beams 4001 emitted by the photoelectric sensor components 400 in the corresponding column in sequence.
[0033] The arrangement of the aforementioned multiple photoelectric sensor components 400 can further save space, thereby further reducing the size of the displacement detection device 10, and thus further reducing the manufacturing cost of the displacement detection device 10.
[0034] For example, such as Figure 3As shown, multiple photoelectric sensor components 400 are arranged in four columns along the second horizontal direction X2, and the four columns of photoelectric sensor components 400 are staggered along the first horizontal direction X1. Four light-blocking parts 301 are respectively arranged corresponding to the four columns of photoelectric sensor components 400 along the first horizontal direction X1. N equals 2, meaning that the photoelectric sensor components 400 in each column are arranged in two rows along the first horizontal direction X1. The eight photoelectric sensor components 400 are arranged in the following order: first photoelectric sensor component 401, second photoelectric sensor component 402, third photoelectric sensor component 403, fourth photoelectric sensor component 404, fifth photoelectric sensor component 405, sixth photoelectric sensor component 406, seventh photoelectric sensor component 407, and eighth photoelectric sensor component 408. The four light-blocking parts 301 are arranged in the following order: first light-blocking part 3011, second light-blocking part 3012, third light-blocking part 3013, and fourth light-blocking part 3014.
[0035] The first light-blocking unit 3011 and the two photoelectric sensor assemblies 400 in the first column, namely the first photoelectric sensor assembly 401 and the fifth photoelectric sensor assembly 405, are correspondingly arranged along the first horizontal direction X1. The second light-blocking unit 3012 and the two photoelectric sensor assemblies 400 in the second column, namely the second photoelectric sensor assembly 402 and the sixth photoelectric sensor assembly 406, are correspondingly arranged along the first horizontal direction X1. The third light-blocking unit 3013 and the two photoelectric sensor assemblies 400 in the third column, namely the third photoelectric sensor assembly 403 and the seventh photoelectric sensor assembly 407, are correspondingly arranged along the first horizontal direction X1. The fourth light-blocking unit 3014 and the two photoelectric sensor assemblies 400 in the fourth column, namely the fourth photoelectric sensor assembly 404 and the eighth photoelectric sensor assembly 408, are correspondingly arranged along the first horizontal direction X1. The distance between the two beams 4001 emitted by the two photoelectric sensor components 400 located in the first row of the adjacent column photoelectric sensor components 400 along the first horizontal direction X1 is a first preset distance L1. The distance between the two beams 4001 emitted by the two photoelectric sensor components 400 located in the second row of the adjacent column photoelectric sensor components 400 along the first horizontal direction X1 is also a first preset distance L1.
[0036] When n equals 2, the distance 4001 emitted by the photoelectric sensor assembly 400 in the first row of the fourth column and the distance 4001 emitted by the photoelectric sensor assembly 400 in the second row of the first column along the first horizontal direction X1 is the first preset distance L1. That is, the distance 4001 between the fourth photoelectric sensor assembly 404 and the fifth photoelectric sensor assembly 405 along the first horizontal direction X1 is the first preset distance L1.
[0037] After the guide component 200 comes into contact with the object 2, during the process of the object 2 driving the guide component 200 and the light-blocking component 300 to move sequentially along the first horizontal direction X1 by a first preset distance L1, the order in which the light-blocking component 300 blocks the light beams 4001 emitted by the multiple photoelectric sensor components 400 is as follows:
[0038] The first light-blocking unit 3011 blocks the light beam 4001 emitted by the first photoelectric sensor assembly 401, indicating that the object 2 has moved a first preset distance L1 along the first horizontal direction X1. The second light-blocking unit 3012 blocks the light beam 4001 emitted by the second photoelectric sensor assembly 402, indicating that the object 2 has moved two first preset distances L1 along the first horizontal direction X1. The third light-blocking unit 3013 blocks the light beam 4001 emitted by the third photoelectric sensor assembly 403, indicating that the object 2 has moved three first preset distances L1 along the first horizontal direction X1. The fourth light-blocking unit 3014 blocks the light beam 4001 emitted by the fourth photoelectric sensor assembly 404, indicating that the object 2 has moved four first preset distances L1 along the first horizontal direction X1. The first light-blocking unit 3011 blocks the light beam 4001 emitted by the fifth photoelectric sensor assembly 405, indicating that the object 2 has moved five first preset distances L1 along the first horizontal direction X1. The second light-blocking unit 3012 blocks the light beam 4001 emitted by the sixth photoelectric sensor assembly 406, indicating that object 2 has moved six first preset distances L1 along the first horizontal direction X1. The third light-blocking unit 3013 blocks the light beam 4001 emitted by the seventh photoelectric sensor assembly 407, indicating that object 2 has moved seven first preset distances L1 along the first horizontal direction X1. The fourth light-blocking unit 3014 blocks the light beam 4001 emitted by the eighth photoelectric sensor assembly 408, indicating that object 2 has moved eight first preset distances L1 along the first horizontal direction X1.
[0039] For example, the photoelectric sensor assembly 400 may be a through-beam photoelectric sensor, a diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor, a slotted photoelectric sensor, etc.
[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the photoelectric sensor assembly 400 includes a slotted photoelectric sensor 410, which has a fixing part 4101, a light emitting part 4102, and a light receiving part 4103. The fixing part 4101 is connected to the support assembly 100. The light emitting part 4102 and the light receiving part 4103 are arranged opposite to each other along a second horizontal direction X2 and are both located above the fixing part 4101. The light emitting part 4102 is configured to emit a light beam 4001, and the light receiving part 4103 is configured to receive the light beam 4001. A detection slot 4100 is formed between the light emitting part 4102 and the light receiving part 4103. A light-blocking part 301 can pass through the detection slot 4100 and block the light beam 4001.
[0041] The slotted photoelectric sensor 410 has a simple and compact structure, which can further save space and thus further reduce the size of the displacement detection device 10. In addition, the slotted photoelectric sensor 410 has low cost, thus further reducing the manufacturing cost of the displacement detection device 10.
[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the support assembly 100 includes a support base assembly 110, which has a guide groove 1101 extending along a first horizontal direction X1. The guide assembly 200 includes a guide rod assembly 210, which extends along the first horizontal direction X1. A first end 2101 of the guide rod assembly extends out of the guide groove 1101 and is capable of abutting against the object 2. A second end 2102 of the guide rod assembly is located in the guide groove 1101 and is slidably connected to the guide groove 1101. The light-blocking assembly 300 is located below the support base assembly 110 and is connected to the guide rod assembly 210.
[0043] Exemplarily, the support assembly 100 further includes a support frame assembly 120 located below the support base assembly 110 and configured to support the support base assembly 110 and a plurality of photoelectric sensor assemblies 400. The support frame assembly 120 includes two opposing support frames 1210, a base 1220, and a sensor support 1230. The two support frames 1210 are located below and connected to the support base assembly 110, respectively supporting both ends of the support base assembly 110. The base 1220 is located below and connected to the two support frames 1210 to support them. The sensor support 1230 is located between the two support frames 1210 and connected to the base 1220, configured to support the plurality of photoelectric sensor assemblies 400.
[0044] In some embodiments, the displacement detection device 10 further includes an elastic component 500 located in the guide groove 1101. The first end 501 of the elastic component abuts against the second end 2102 of the guide rod assembly, and the second end 502 of the elastic component abuts against the support assembly 110; or, the first end 501 of the elastic component abuts against the second end 2102 of the guide rod assembly, and the second end 502 of the elastic component is connected to the support assembly 110; or, the first end 501 of the elastic component is connected to the second end 2102 of the guide rod assembly, and the second end 502 of the elastic component abuts against the support assembly 110; or, the first end 501 of the elastic component is connected to the second end 2102 of the guide rod assembly, and the second end 502 of the elastic component is connected to the support assembly 110.
[0045] By applying elastic force to the guide rod assembly 210 using the elastic component 500, the guide rod assembly 210 is always able to contact the object 2 during the process of the object 2 driving the guide rod assembly 210 to move along the first horizontal direction X1, thereby improving the accuracy of the displacement detection device 10 in detecting the displacement of the object 2 along the first horizontal direction X1.
[0046] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second end 2102 of the guide rod assembly has a receiving groove 2104, and the first end 501 of the elastic component abuts against the bottom of the receiving groove 2104 to achieve the abutment between the first end 501 of the elastic component and the second end 2102 of the guide rod assembly.
[0047] For example, the elastic component 500 may be a spring, a rubber pad, etc.
[0048] In some embodiments, the guide rod assembly 210 has an elongated slot 2103 extending vertically through the guide rod, and the elongated slot 2103 extends along a first horizontal direction X1. The displacement detection device 10 also includes a limiting assembly 600, which is vertically disposed, passes through the elongated slot 2103, and is connected to the support assembly 110.
[0049] By using the limiting component 600 in conjunction with the long groove 2103, the movement range of the guide rod assembly 210 along the first horizontal direction X1 is limited to ensure that the guide rod assembly 210 moves within the effective detection stroke range. In addition, it can also prevent the guide rod assembly 210 from dislodging from the guide groove 1101 along the first horizontal direction X1.
[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the support assembly 110 includes a support 1110, a first pressure plate 1120, and a second pressure plate 1130. The support 1110 extends along a first horizontal direction X1 and has a guide groove 1101 with an upward-facing opening 1102. The first pressure plate 1120 is located above and connected to the first end 1111 of the support 1110, and its lower surface contacts the upper surface of the guide rod assembly 210. The second pressure plate 1130 is located above and connected to the second end 1112 of the support 1110, and its lower surface contacts the upper surface of the second end 2102 of the guide rod assembly.
[0051] The guide rod assembly 210 is pressed into the guide groove 1101 in the vertical direction by the first pressure plate 1120 and the second pressure plate 1130 to prevent the guide rod assembly 210 from coming out of the guide groove 1101 through the opening 1102.
[0052] For example, the support assembly 110 further includes a side plate 1140 located to the side of the second end 1112 of the support and connected to the second end 1112 of the support to close one end of the guide groove 1101, and the second end 502 of the elastic component abuts against the side plate 1140.
[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the limiting assembly 600 includes a limiting post 610, two stops 620, and two locking members 630. The limiting post 610 is vertically arranged and passes through the elongated slot 2103. The first end 6101 of the limiting post passes through the first pressure plate 1120, and the second end 6102 of the limiting post passes through the support base 1110. The two stops 620 are located above the first pressure plate 1120 and below the support base 1110, respectively. The stop 620 above the first pressure plate 1120 abuts against the first end 6101 of the limiting post, and the stop 620 below the support base 1110 abuts against the second end 6102 of the limiting post and the support base 1110. One locking member 630 passes through the stop 620 located above the first pressure plate 1120 and is screwed to the first end 6101 of the limiting post. Another locking member 630 passes through the stop 620 located below the support base 1110 and is screwed to the second end 6102 of the limiting post.
[0054] The limiting component 600 has a simple structure and is easy to assemble and disassemble. In addition, two stops 620 are used to stop the first end 6101 and the second end 6102 of the limiting column respectively, so as to limit the limiting column 610 in the vertical direction. This can prevent the limiting column 610 from detaching from the guide rod assembly 210 and the support base 1110, and also prevent the limiting column 610 from swaying up and down.
[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the displacement detection device 10 further includes a connecting assembly 700, which has a first connecting portion 701, a second connecting portion 702, and a third connecting portion 703. The first connecting portion 701 and the second connecting portion 702 are both vertically arranged and located on opposite sides of the support base 1110. The third connecting portion 703 is located above the support base 1110, connecting the first connecting portion 701 and the second connecting portion 702, and is also connected to the guide rod assembly 210. The light-blocking assembly 300 is located below the support base 1110, and its two ends are connected to the first connecting portion 701 and the second connecting portion 702, respectively.
[0056] The aforementioned connecting component 700 has a simple structure. By using the connecting component 700, a stable connection between the light-blocking component 300 and the guide rod component 210 can be achieved, and the stability of the light-blocking component 300 moving along the first horizontal direction X1 can also be improved.
[0057] For example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the guide rod assembly 210 includes a guide rod 2110 and a contact rod 2120. The guide rod 2110 extends along a first horizontal direction X1 and is slidably connected to the guide groove 1101, and abuts against the first end 501 of the elastic component. The contact rod 2120 extends along the first horizontal direction X1 and is connected to the end of the guide rod 2110 away from the elastic component 500, and is capable of abutting against the object 2. For example, the contact rod 2120 can be made of plastic or ceramic, which can both ensure that the contact rod 2120 abuts against the object 2 stably and prevent damage to the object 2 due to excessive mechanical strength of the contact rod 2120.
[0058] Figure 8 The diagram shown illustrates an application scenario of a transportation mechanism provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 8 As shown, the transport mechanism 1 is configured to transport the object 2. The transport mechanism 1 includes the displacement detection device 10 and the transport device 20 mentioned in the above embodiments. The transport device 20 is configured to transport the object 2 along a first horizontal direction X1. The displacement detection device 10 is disposed on the movement path of the object 2 along the first horizontal direction X1 and is configured to detect the displacement of the object 2 along the first horizontal direction X1.
[0059] For example, object 2 can be a boat structure, or a boat support and boat structure, etc.
[0060] Since the transport mechanism 1 includes the displacement detection device 10, all the technical features and effects of the transport mechanism 1 including the displacement detection device 10 will not be described in detail here.
