Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of displacement sensor equipment technology, specifically a displacement sensor based on magnetic induction. Background Technology

[0002] Displacement sensors, also known as linear sensors, are a type of linear device that uses metal induction. The function of a sensor is to convert various measured physical quantities into electrical quantities.

[0003] Patent (CN114812367B) discloses a non-contact external magnetic induction linear displacement measurement method. When the stroke device is driven by an external force, a magnetically driven moving component inside the casing of the stroke device moves linearly, causing at least two magnets of different polarities mounted on the moving component to move and generate a changing magnetic field. An external displacement sensor is set outside the casing of the stroke device, sensing the magnetic field and acquiring the magnetic field strength value through an internal magnetic induction chip array. The signal of the magnetic induction chip array is cyclically sampled, and the displacement data is calculated based on the sampled data. The calculated displacement data is then converted into an electrical signal and output. This method enables non-contact displacement measurement external to the outer wall of the cylinder, and has the advantages of convenient installation and disassembly, high-precision measurement, high-stability and high-reliability data output, compact and exquisite structure, maintenance-free operation, and applicability to various complex environments. It can be widely used in the field of linear displacement detection.

[0004] The displacement sensor described in the aforementioned patent is inconvenient to connect with hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, or other linear drive components, making the installation of the magnetic induction displacement sensor quite cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a displacement sensor based on magnetic induction to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a displacement sensor based on magnetic induction, including a mounting frame and a second connector. The mounting frame has a first connector that is slidably connected inside, and a magnetic induction component that is movably connected on the inner wall of the mounting frame. A magnetic strip is provided on the outer wall of the first connector near the magnetic induction component. The magnetic strip has at least one S pole and one N pole. A socket that matches the second connector is provided on the other side of the outer wall of the first connector.

[0007] Furthermore, the surface of the mounting frame is provided with a through groove that matches the first connector, and several mounting holes are symmetrically provided at both ends of the outer wall of the mounting frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the second connector is fixedly connected to the output end of the external device, the outer wall of the second connector is fitted with an external toothed connecting sleeve, the inner wall of the socket is provided with a toothed groove that matches the external toothed connecting sleeve, and the socket is rotatably connected to the first connector.

[0009] Furthermore, the magnetic induction component includes a mounting strip, the outer wall of which is provided with a plurality of induction chips, and the inner wall of the mounting frame is provided with a slot that matches the mounting strip.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner wall of the mounting frame is provided with a guide rod, the first connector is slidably connected to the guide rod, and the guide rod is parallel to the mounting strip.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the inner wall of the mounting frame is provided with an elastic buckle assembly on the outside of the slot, and the elastic buckle assembly is engaged with the mounting strip.

[0012] Furthermore, the elastic buckle assembly includes two buckles, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the slot. A spring is provided at the end of the outer wall of the buckle away from the slot. The end of the spring away from the buckle is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame. A support strip is provided on the outer wall of the spring near the buckle. The support strip extends to the outside of the mounting frame. A groove matching the buckle is opened on the outer wall of the mounting strip.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This utility model comprises an installation frame, a first connector, a magnetic induction component, a magnetic strip, a second connector, and a socket. The installation frame supports the displacement sensor. The second connector is pre-fixed to an external device (the piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder or pneumatic cylinder, or other moving parts of a linear drive component). The surface of the hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, or other linear drive component also has a slot for the second connector to move. In use, simply align the first connector and the second connector of the installation frame, insert the second connector into the socket of the first connector, adjust the installation frame to be parallel and aligned with the slot, and then fix the installation frame to the surface of the hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, or other linear drive component using screws. The operation is convenient and quick. The magnetic induction component senses the magnetic field of the magnetic strip and collects the magnetic field strength value, achieving high-sensitivity displacement measurement through changes in magnetic field strength. This effectively improves the alignment and locking effect of the first and second connectors and enhances the stability of their connection. The connection between the external toothed connecting sleeve and the toothed groove does not affect the angle adjustment of the installation frame, ensuring convenient sensor installation.

[0015] 2. In this utility model, the two support bars are first stretched outwards, causing the two buckles to move outwards. The spring is compressed, and the buckles move out of the slot. Then, the mounting strip is inserted into the slot between the two support bars. After the mounting strip is fully inserted into the slot, the support bars are released, the spring rebounds, and the spring pushes the buckles inwards into the slot. The buckles enter the groove on the surface of the mounting strip, thus achieving the snap-fit ​​fixation between the elastic buckle assembly and the mounting strip. The operation is convenient and quick. For disassembly, simply stretch the two support bars outwards, remove the buckles from the groove of the mounting strip, release the fixing state of the mounting strip, and then pull the mounting strip outwards to disassemble the mounting strip.

[0025] In one embodiment, the surface of the mounting frame 1 is provided with a through groove 101 that matches the first connector 2, and a plurality of mounting holes 102 are symmetrically provided at both ends of the outer wall of the mounting frame 1. The through groove 101 provides a movement channel for the first connector 2 and the second connector 5 on the surface of the mounting frame 1, ensuring that the second connector 5 can normally drive the first connector 2 to perform linear movement.

[0026] In one embodiment, the magnetic induction component 3 includes a mounting strip 301. The outer wall of the mounting strip 301 is provided with a plurality of induction chips 302.

The specific data acquisition and conversion method can adopt the same principle as the comparative document in the background technology, or it can adopt the working principle of other magnetic induction displacement sensors.

[0027] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the mounting frame 1 is provided with a guide rod 104, the first connector 2 is slidably connected to the guide rod 104, the guide rod 104 is parallel to the mounting strip 301, and the guide rod 104 slides to guide the first connector 2, which can effectively ensure the safety and stability of the movement of the first connector 2.

[0028] In one embodiment, an elastic buckle assembly 105 is provided at one end of the inner wall of the mounting frame 1 on the outside of the slot 103.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model:

[0031] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1-5 This utility model consists of an installation frame 1, a first connector 2, a magnetic induction component 3, a magnetic strip 4, a second connector 5, and a socket 6. The installation frame 1 supports the displacement sensor. The second connector 5 is pre-fixed to an external device (the piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder or pneumatic cylinder, or other moving parts of a linear drive component). The surface of the hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, or other linear drive component also has a slot for the second connector 5 to move. In use, simply align the first connector 2 and the second connector 5 of the installation frame 1, insert the second connector 5 into the socket 6 of the first connector 2, adjust the installation frame 1 to be parallel and aligned with the slot, and then fix the installation frame 1 to the surface of the hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, or other linear drive component with screws.

The magnetic induction component 3 senses the magnetic field of the magnetic strip 4 and collects the magnetic field strength value. The displacement is measured with high sensitivity by the change in magnetic field strength. The specific measurement principle adopts the same measurement principle as the comparative document in the background technology.
