Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of modular assembly of slot type photoelectric switch, in particular to a modular assembly structure of slot type photoelectric switch. BACKGROUND
[0002] SMD photoelectric switch is a small electronic sensor based on photoelectric effect and packaged by surface mount device (SMD) technology, used for detecting the existence, position or motion state of an object. It realizes non-contact detection by emitting and receiving optical signals, and is widely used in automation control, electronic equipment and industrial fields.
[0003] The "slot type photoelectric switch assembly structure" disclosed in the publication number "CN221127268U" is also a mature technology, which "includes a mounting box, an infrared emitter and an infrared receiver. The mounting box is overall U-shaped, and both sides of the bottom are provided with open grooves matching the size of the infrared emitter and the infrared receiver. The open grooves are provided with positioning blocks at the top of both sides. The infrared emitter and the infrared receiver are fixedly connected with pins inside, and the whole is L-shaped and embedded into the grooves on both sides of the mounting box. The inclined positioning blocks can play a good fixing role after being embedded at the front end of the L-shaped infrared emitter and the infrared receiver, so that fixing and connection processes such as threads or soldering are no longer needed, the production efficiency is effectively improved, and the production cost is reduced.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned fireproof optical cable design has the following disadvantages: the slot type photoelectric switch housing is distributed at both ends of the DIP emission / reception lamp, which can form an SMD type photoelectric switch, and the bent pin forms an SMD type photoelectric switch. The bent pin needs to be bent manually, which is complicated and low in efficiency. At the same time, the pin bending is easy to cause poor contact or mechanical damage, affecting the reliability of the product. At the same time, the traditional light plate cannot be directly observed, and it is easy to cause installation out of position.
[0005] The SMD type needs to insert the lamp bead manually and bend the pin to form the SMD structure, while the SMD photoelectric switch directly packages the lamp bead through the integrated patch light plate, which saves the pin processing step and realizes the "plug and play" type assembly. INVENTION CONTENTS
[0006] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides a modular assembly structure for a slot type photoelectric switch, which solves the problems raised in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: a modular assembly structure of slot type photoelectric switch, comprising a slot type photoelectric switch module body, shell grooves are formed on both sides of the top of the slot type photoelectric switch module body, and a photoelectric switch module assembly is arranged in each shell groove.
[0008] The slotted photoelectric switch module body has a U-shaped shell, and light-transmitting slots are provided on the inner and outer sides of the bottom end of the slotted photoelectric switch module body. Two notches are provided on the top two sides of the slotted photoelectric switch module body.
[0009] The preferred photoelectric switch module assembly includes an integrated patch lamp board that is inserted and connected to the inside of the housing groove. A first transmitting and receiving lamp bead and a second transmitting and receiving lamp bead are respectively installed on both sides of the integrated patch lamp board. A convex locking block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the integrated patch lamp board.
[0010] Preferably, the slotted photoelectric switch module body is made of symmetrically combined module shells glued together. Each module shell has an L-shaped patch lamp plate installed on its inner wall. A third transmitting and receiving lamp bead is glued to the inner side of the L-shaped patch lamp plate. A light-transmitting slot is opened at one end of the inner side of the L-shaped patch lamp plate.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] This utility model provides a modular assembly structure for a slotted photoelectric switch:
[0013] 1. To facilitate rapid installation of LED chips and avoid the need for lead bending in traditional designs, this type of slot-type photoelectric switch utilizes a modular assembly structure for quick assembly. The first and second transmitting / receiving LED chips are encapsulated on opposite sides of an integrated surface-mount LED board. This board is then quickly inserted into the housing slot. Transmitting / receiving LED chips are inserted into both ends of the slot-type photoelectric switch housing, thus forming an SMD (Surface Mount Device) photoelectric switch. This eliminates the need for manual lead bending, enabling rapid assembly and installation with high efficiency and preventing mechanical damage to the LED board.
[0014] 2. At the same time, the light-transmitting slots on both sides of the bottom of the slotted photoelectric switch module body allow direct observation of whether the first and second transmitting and receiving LED beads are installed in place, avoiding manual adjustment later. The convex locking block at the bottom of the integrated surface mount LED board facilitates engagement with the bottom of the housing slot, preventing the integrated surface mount LED board from falling off and sliding out, thus assembling it into an SMD photoelectric switch for use.

The top two sides of the slotted photoelectric switch module body 1 are provided with housing slots 101, and each housing slot 101 is provided with a photoelectric switch module assembly 2 inside.
[0027] The slotted photoelectric switch module body 1 has a U-shaped shell, and light-transmitting slots 102 are provided on the inner and outer sides of the bottom end of the slotted photoelectric switch module body 1.
