Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sensor technology, and in particular to an adjustable sensor bracket. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of modern industry, the requirements for the accuracy and flexibility of sensor measurements are getting higher and higher, especially in fields such as automobile manufacturing, aerospace, and bridge monitoring. Sensors need to be able to accurately measure data under various complex working conditions, and at the same time, they need to be able to adapt to different installation environments and location requirements. As an important component for supporting and fixing sensors, the sensor bracket directly affects the measurement accuracy, stability and service life of the sensor. Most traditional sensor brackets adopt a fixed design, and once installed, the position of the sensor cannot be adjusted.

[0003] The existing sensor brackets have the following problems: (1) When it is necessary to adjust to 90° and 180°, only different types of sensor brackets can be selected, which is costly and the repeated replacement of sensor brackets makes operation inconvenient; (2) When it is necessary to change the measurement direction of the object or adjust to other angles to detect the object, since the angle of the sensor bracket is fixed, it is necessary to change the angle and position of the external mounting surface to complete the operation, which is complicated and time-consuming.

[0004] An existing patent (publication number: CN208254513U) discloses a sensor bracket, comprising a first fixed plate, a second fixed plate hinged to the first fixed plate, and an angle adjustment mechanism for adjusting the angle between the first and second fixed plates. The angle adjustment mechanism includes a locking member disposed on the second fixed plate and a first angle adjustment plate disposed on the first fixed plate facing the locking member. A first arc-shaped slide rail is formed on the first angle adjustment plate, and the locking member passes through the first arc-shaped slide rail. When the angle between the first and second fixed plates is adjusted, the locking member slides along the first arc-shaped slide rail and can lock the first angle adjustment plate. This embodiment of the sensor bracket allows for direct adjustment of the sensor bracket angle when the detection angle of the object being detected needs to be changed, without the need to modify or add external installation equipment, thus improving the versatility and convenience of the sensor bracket.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, existing patents offer solutions, but these have limitations in adjusting the sensor angle. They cannot allow the sensor to be rotated to adjust its horizontal angle, nor can they adjust the sensor's mounting position.

[0006] To address this, an adjustable sensor bracket is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0030] An adjustable sensor bracket includes a support base 1, a turntable 2 is provided on the top of the support base 1, an adjustable support mechanism 3 is provided on the top of the turntable 2, a height adjustment mechanism 4 is provided on the bottom of the support base 1, and an adjustable mounting mechanism 5 is provided on the bottom of the height adjustment mechanism 4.

[0031] The adjustable support mechanism 3 includes an adjusting plate 31, a mounting cylinder 32, a sensor body 33, a connecting bar 34, a pull bar 35, a movable groove 36, a through hole 37, a locking screw 38, and a locking nut 39. The adjusting plate 31 is hinged to the top of the turntable 2. The mounting cylinder 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting plate 31. The sensor body 33 is bolted to the inside of the mounting cylinder 32. The connecting bar 34 is hinged to the side wall of the adjusting plate 31. The pull bar 35 is hinged to the other end of the connecting bar 34. The movable groove 36 is opened in the middle of the pull bar 35. The through hole 37 is opened in the middle of the turntable 2. The locking screw 38 is fixedly connected to the top of the support base 1. The locking screw 38 is located inside the movable groove 36 and the through hole 37. The locking nut 39 is threaded to the top of the locking screw 38. The bottom of the locking nut 39 is in contact with the pull bar 35.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, four locking brackets 6 are installed on the top of the support base 1. Locking pins 7 are threadedly connected to the middle of the locking brackets 6, and the top of the locking pins 7 contacts the turntable 2.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a limiting ring 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the support base 1, and the turntable 2 is located inside the limiting ring 8.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the top of the turntable 2 is fixedly connected to two retaining strips 9, which are movably connected to the pull strip 35.

[0035] In use, by fixing the sensor body 33 at different positions inside the mounting cylinder 32, the distance between the sensor body 33 and the object being detected can be adjusted. When the locking nut 39 is rotated to contact the compression limit of the pull bar 35 and the turntable 2, the angle of the adjusting plate 31 can be adjusted. This process drives the pull bar 35 to move through the connecting bar 34, and the locking bar 9 limits the movement of the pull bar 35, thereby adjusting the detection angle of the sensor body 33. By rotating the turntable 2, the sensor body 33 can be rotated to adjust the left and right angles, and the limiting ring 8 limits the movement of the turntable 2. After the position and angle are adjusted, the locking screw 38 and locking nut 39 are rotated to move, so that the locking nut 39 presses against the pull bar 35 and the turntable 2. Through the friction between the support base 1 and the turntable 2 and the friction between the turntable 2 and the pull bar 35, the turntable 2 and the pull bar 35 can be locked and limited. The sensor body 33 after the angle is adjusted is fixedly supported, realizing multi-angle adjustment of the sensor body 33 and improving the flexibility of the angle adjustment of the sensor body 33. At the same time, with the cooperation of the locking pin 7 on the locking frame 6, the turntable 2 can be further locked, improving the stability of the adjustment.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the height adjustment mechanism 4 includes a top plate 41, a first hinge bar 42, a connector 43, a second hinge bar 44, a base 45, and an adjusting screw 46. The top plate 41 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support base 1. The first hinge bar 42 is hinged to the bottom of the top plate 41. Four first hinge bars 42 are provided, and the tops of two first hinge bars 42 are hinged together. The connector 43 is hinged to the other end of the first hinge bar 42. One end of the second hinge bar 44 is hinged together with the connector 43. The base 45 is provided at the other end of the second hinge bar 44 and is hinged together with the four second hinge bars 44. The adjusting screw 46 is provided in the middle of the two connectors 43. The top of the adjusting screw 46 is rotatably connected to the connector 43, and the middle of the adjusting screw 46 is threadedly connected to the other connector 43.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, the adjustable mounting mechanism 5 includes a mounting base 51, a mounting hole 52, an adjustment groove 53, a fixing screw 54, and a fixing nut 55. The mounting base 51 is located at the bottom of the base 45 and is L-shaped. The mounting hole 52 starts on the side wall of the mounting base 51. The adjustment groove 53 is located at the top of the mounting base 51. The fixing screw 54 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 45 and is movably located inside the adjustment groove 53. The fixing nut 55 is threaded to one end of the fixing screw 54, and the side wall of the fixing nut 55 contacts the mounting base 51.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the top of the mounting base 51 is fixedly connected to two protrusions 10, and the bottom of the base 45 has two grooves 11 that are adapted to the protrusions 10.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, two reinforcing ribs 12 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting base 51, and the two reinforcing ribs 12 are located on both sides of the adjustment groove 53.

[0040] During installation, the mounting hole 52 is used to fix the mounting base 51 to the mounting surface. By pulling the base 45 to move on top of the mounting base 51, the position of the sensor body 33 can be adjusted. During this process, the fixing screw 54 moves inside the adjustment groove 53. The cooperation between the protrusion 10 and the groove 11 guides and restricts the movement of the base 45. By rotating the fixing nut 55, the mounting base 51 can be tightened, ensuring the stability and safety of the sensor bracket. When adjusting the height of the sensor body 33, the top plate 41 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support base 1, providing support for the entire height adjustment mechanism 4. The first hinge bar 42 is hinged to the bottom of the top plate 41, forming four sets of hinge structures. Each set contains two mutually hinged first hinges. The first hinge bar 42 allows for a certain amount of deformation space between the top plate 41 and the base 45. The connector 43 is hinged to the other end of the first hinge bar 42 and hinged to one end of the second hinge bar 44 to form a stable quadrilateral structure. The base 45 is located at the other end of the second hinge bar 44 and hinged to the four second hinge bars 44 to ensure the stability and load-bearing capacity of the entire structure. The adjusting screw 46 is located in the middle of the two connectors 43. Its top is rotatably connected to one connector 43 and its middle part is threadedly connected to the other connector 43. By rotating the adjusting screw 46, the connector 43 can be pushed to move along the screw direction, thereby changing the included angle between the first hinge bar 42 and the second hinge bar 44 to adjust the height of the support base 1.

[0041] By adopting the above technical solution, the limitations of existing sensor brackets in adjusting the sensor angle are solved. These limitations include the inability to rotate the sensor to adjust its horizontal angle and the inability to adjust the sensor's installation position.

[0042] Working Principle: In use, the mounting hole 52 is first used to fix the mounting base 51 to the mounting surface. By pulling the base 45 to move on top of the mounting base 51, the position of the sensor body 33 can be adjusted. By rotating the fixing nut 55, the mounting base 51 can be tightened. When adjusting the height of the sensor body 33, the first hinge bar 42 is hinged to the bottom of the top plate 41, forming four sets of hinge structures. Each set contains two mutually hinged first hinge bars 42, allowing a certain deformation space between the top plate 41 and the base 45. The connector 43 is hinged to the other end of the first hinge bar 42 and hinged to one end of the second hinge bar 44 to form a stable quadrilateral structure. The base 45 is set at the other end of the second hinge bar 44 and hinged to the four second hinge bars 44 to ensure the stability and load-bearing capacity of the entire structure. The adjusting screw 46 is set in the middle of the two connectors 43. Its top is rotatably connected to one connector 43, and its middle is threadedly connected to the other connector 43. Rotating the adjusting screw 46 can push the connector 43 to move along the screw direction, thereby changing the included angle between the first hinge bar 42 and the second hinge bar 44, and realizing the adjustment of the height of the support base 1. When adjusting the angle of the sensor body 33, by fixing the sensor body 33 in different positions inside the mounting cylinder 32, the distance between the sensor body 33 and the object to be detected can be adjusted. Manually pulling the adjusting plate 31 to adjust the angle causes the connecting bar 34 to drive the pull bar 35 to move. The locking bar 9 limits the movement of the pull bar 35, thereby adjusting the detection angle of the sensor body 33. Rotating the turntable 2 allows the sensor body 33 to rotate and adjust the left and right angles. The limiting ring 8 limits the movement of the turntable 2. After the angle is adjusted, rotating the locking screw 38 and the locking nut 39 causes the locking nut 39 to squeeze the pull bar 35 and the turntable 2. Through the friction between the support base 1 and the turntable 2 and the friction between the turntable 2 and the pull bar 35, the turntable 2 and the pull bar 35 can be locked and limited.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
