Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a mounting bracket for a photoelectric sensor, belonging to the field of photoelectric sensor mounting technology. Background Technology

[0002] Photoelectric sensors, as important automated detection devices, are widely used in industrial production, intelligent transportation, environmental monitoring, and other fields. They detect the presence, position, distance, speed, and acceleration of objects by emitting and receiving light. In practical use, photoelectric sensors require external auxiliary mechanisms or mounting brackets for installation and fixation. However, some brackets have complex structures, and the installation and adjustment process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and prone to errors. A search revealed that Chinese patent CN218914281U discloses a photoelectric bracket for photoelectric sensors. In this patent, the photoelectric sensor is placed in a mounting box, and then a locking block with a first stop and constraint block is pressed into the mounting box to secure it. During the pressing process, the C-shaped constraint block symmetrically presses against both sides of the upper edge of the sensor. When height adjustment is needed, a rotary motor is activated to drive the threaded column to rotate, causing the threaded movable column and the mounting box above it to rise and fall as a whole. In use, a support baffle can be placed over the mounting box to provide protection. However, this patent has a large footprint, making installation difficult in narrow equipment gaps or compact robotic arm ends, and the motor-driven lifting mechanism increases structural complexity and cost. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a mounting bracket for photoelectric sensors that can simplify the installation process, reduce the installation difficulty, reduce the footprint of the bracket, and at the same time maintain the stability and reliability of the structure.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a mounting bracket for a photoelectric sensor, comprising:

[0005] A first fixed bracket, comprising a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion, wherein the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion are perpendicularly connected.

[0006] The first mounting part is provided with at least two first mounting waist holes, and the second mounting part is provided with at least one first mounting hole. The first mounting waist holes are installed in the working area by at least one first fastener.

[0007] The second fixed bracket has at least one second mounting hole. The bottom surface of the second fixed bracket abuts against the upper surface of the first fixed bracket. The second mounting hole is connected to the first mounting hole by at least one second fastener. The second fixed bracket can slide and adjust along the length direction of the second mounting hole.

[0008] At least one photoelectric sensor body is mounted on the upper surface of the second fixed bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, in order to adjust the vertical position of the photoelectric sensor body, two first mounting waist holes are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first mounting part, and the extension direction of the first mounting waist holes is parallel to the length direction of the first mounting part.

[0010] Furthermore, in order to prevent the wiring harness from affecting the operation of the equipment, the second fixed bracket is also provided with at least two elastic buckles, which are adapted to restrict the movement of the communication wiring harness of the sensor body.

[0011] Furthermore, the extending direction of the second mounting hole is parallel to the length direction of the second fixing bracket;

[0012] The extension direction of the second mounting waist hole is perpendicular to the central axis of the elastic buckle.

[0013] Furthermore, for stable installation, the first fastener is provided with a first anti-loosening washer, and the second fastener is provided with a second anti-loosening washer.

[0014] Furthermore, in order to prevent the photoelectric sensor body from detaching, the second fixing bracket is also provided with a magnetic fixing seat. The magnetic fixing seat is installed on the upper surface of the second fixing bracket by at least two third fasteners. The magnetic fixing seat is suitable for adsorbing the photoelectric sensor body.

[0015] Furthermore, the second fixed bracket is also provided with at least two limiting blocks, which are symmetrically distributed on the upper surface of the second fixed bracket. One of the limiting blocks is arranged opposite to the opening direction of one of the elastic buckles, and the other limiting block is arranged opposite to the opening direction of the other elastic buckle.

[0016] After adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] In this utility model, the first fixed bracket is placed at the predetermined installation position in the working area. The first fixed bracket is initially fixed in the working area (such as on the equipment frame) by using the two first mounting holes on the first mounting part, in conjunction with the first fastener and the first anti-loosening washer. At this time, it is not necessary to tighten it completely. The two first mounting holes can be used to adjust vertically to achieve the appropriate position. After adjustment, the first fastener is tightened so that the first fixed bracket is firmly fixed in the working area.

[0018] Place the bottom surface of the second fixed bracket on the upper surface of the first fixed bracket, align the second mounting waist hole on the second fixed bracket with the first mounting hole on the second mounting part of the first fixed bracket, insert the second fastener and the second anti-loosening washer. At this time, there is no need to tighten them. Adjust the second mounting waist hole laterally to achieve the appropriate position. After adjusting it to the correct position, tighten the second fastener so that the second fixed bracket is firmly fixed on the first fixed bracket.

[0019] The photoelectric sensor body is magnetically fixed to the upper surface of the second fixing bracket by the magnetic fixing base. The limiting block is set on the side of the photoelectric sensor body to form a physical barrier to prevent the sensor from accidentally sliding or falling off due to external force or vibration during use. It provides double fixation in conjunction with the magnetic attraction.

[0020] Guide the communication harness of the photoelectric sensor body to the elastic buckle, and then snap the harness into the buckle to restrict the free movement of the harness. Attached Figure Description
