Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch technology, specifically to switch components for production lines, and particularly to a multi-directional adjustable switch bracket and switch assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In various mechanical equipment, proximity switches, photoelectric switches, and other switching components are frequently used for detecting moving parts. The accuracy of the installation position of these switching components is crucial, directly affecting the accuracy of the detection results. Traditionally, switching components are mounted on brackets, which are typically fixed in structure. When adjustments to the switch position or angle are needed in different scenarios, the switching component or bracket must be removed, adjusted to the desired position, and then reinstalled. This results in low work efficiency, especially in situations like automotive production lines where a large number of switching components are used, leading to a huge workload and significant labor intensity for operators. Therefore, developing an easy-to-operate adjustable switch bracket to improve work efficiency is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a multi-directional adjustable switch bracket and switch assembly to simplify the adjustment process of switch components, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, on the one hand, this utility model provides a multi-directional adjustable switch bracket, including: a bracket base, a column fixedly connected to the bracket base, a sleeve sleeved on the outside of the column, a switch mounting plate fixedly connected to the outside of the sleeve, and a sleeve adjusting screw, wherein the sleeve adjusting screw penetrates the side wall of the sleeve, and the inner end of the sleeve adjusting screw abuts against the side wall of the column.

[0005] Furthermore, the columns are cylindrical structures, and the sleeves are circular tubes.

[0006] Furthermore, the switch mounting plate is provided with multiple mounting through holes.

[0007] Furthermore, the multi-directional adjustable switch bracket also includes a bracket rail that is detachably connected to the base of the bracket.

[0008] Furthermore, the support track is a hollow rectangular tubular structure with a slot on the top, and the slot is set along the length of the support track; a positioning plate is also set below the support base, the positioning plate is located inside the support track, and the positioning plate is connected to the support base by a base adjusting screw, and the base adjusting screw passes through the slot.

[0009] On the other hand, this utility model embodiment also provides a switch assembly, including two multi-directional adjustable switch brackets as described above. One multi-directional adjustable switch bracket has a through-beam switch on its switch mounting plate, and the other multi-directional adjustable switch bracket has a reflector on its switch mounting plate. The through-beam switch and the reflector are arranged facing each other.

[0010] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] In this technical solution, the position and angle of the switch mounting plate in the switch bracket are adjustable. Therefore, when the switch components need to be adjusted, the corresponding screws can be adjusted without disassembling and reinstalling, which greatly facilitates on-site operations.

[0012] In addition, this technical solution has the following features: the bracket base is installed by means of a slotted bracket rail, and the bracket base can move along the length of the bracket rail, thereby further expanding the adjustment range of the switch component and meeting more usage needs.

[0020] 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.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a multi-directional adjustable switch bracket, including: a bracket base 5, a column 6 fixedly connected to the bracket base 5, a sleeve 8 sleeved on the outside of the column 6, a switch mounting plate 1 fixedly connected to the outside of the sleeve 8, and a sleeve adjusting screw 7. The sleeve adjusting screw 7 penetrates the side wall of the sleeve 8, and the inner end of the sleeve adjusting screw 7 abuts against the side wall of the column 6.

[0022] In this embodiment of the invention, the front of the switch mounting plate 1 is used to mount switch components (such as the subsequent photoelectric switch 9 or reflector 10), while a sleeve 8 is welded to the back of the switch mounting plate 1. The sleeve 8 can be relatively fixed to the column 6 by adjusting the sleeve adjusting screw 7. When it is necessary to adjust the height, the sleeve adjusting screw 7 can be loosened appropriately, and the sleeve 8 can be moved up or down to the appropriate position, thereby adjusting the height of the switch component. Then, the sleeve adjusting screw 7 is tightened so that the inner fastening end of the sleeve adjusting screw 7 (i.e., the end away from the nut) presses against the side wall of the column 6. The switch mounting plate 1 is fixed by the friction between the fastening end and the side wall of the column 6. This operation method is simple and convenient, eliminating the need to disassemble and reassemble the switch component or the entire bracket as in the prior art, thus greatly improving work efficiency and solving the aforementioned problems.

[0023] Furthermore, the column 6 is a cylindrical structure, and the sleeve 8 is a cylindrical tube, forming a shaft-hole fit. Because there is a certain gap between them, when the sleeve adjusting screw 7 is loosened, the sleeve 8 can rotate around the axis of the column 6, allowing the switch component to rotate 360° until it finds a suitable position. At this point, the switch component can rotate around the axis and also achieve height adjustment in the vertical direction, thus meeting different needs in the field environment and greatly expanding its adjustment range.

[0024] Furthermore, the switch mounting plate 1 is provided with multiple mounting through holes, which are used to fix the switch components to be installed by means of bolts or the like.

[0025] Furthermore, although the aforementioned method has already achieved the adjustment of the height and orientation of the switch components, a bracket rail 2 is provided to further expand its adjustment range. The bracket base 5 is detachably installed on the bracket rail 2. In this way, the bracket base 5 can also be adjusted along the length of the bracket rail 2, which is equivalent to adding another degree of freedom. Moreover, with the bracket rail 2, multiple bracket bases 5 can be installed on the same bracket rail 2, thereby realizing the arrangement of multiple switch components. This method is particularly suitable for automotive production lines and similar occasions.

[0026] Furthermore, the support base 5 can be connected to the support rail 2 by means of screws, etc. However, as mentioned earlier, this method requires disassembly and reassembly for adjustment, resulting in low work efficiency. Therefore, it also needs to be designed to allow for quick adjustment, that is, the support base 5 should also be able to move along the length of the support rail 2. The connection method between the support rail 2 and the support base 5 is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown: The support track 2 is a hollow rectangular tubular structure with a slot 3 at the top, and the slot 3 is set along the length of the support track 2; a positioning plate 11 is also set below the support base 5, and the positioning plate 11 is located inside the support track 2. The positioning plate 11 is connected to the support base 5 by a base adjusting screw 4, and the base adjusting screw 4 passes through the slot 3. That is, the support track 2 is a horizontally placed, upward-opening C-shaped groove structure, which can be processed separately or a pre-made profile can be used. The base adjusting screw 4 passes through the slot 3 from top to bottom. Therefore, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the switch component, first loosen the base adjusting screw 4 appropriately, and then drag the column 6 to move it, thereby pulling the positioning plate 11 to slide to the appropriate position in the cavity of the support track 2. During the sliding process, the base adjusting screw 4 will not touch other parts of the support track 2. After that, the base adjusting screw 4 is tightened.

[0027] This utility model embodiment also provides a switch assembly, which includes two multi-directional adjustable switch brackets as described above. A through-beam switch 9 is provided on the switch mounting plate 1 of one of the multi-directional adjustable switch brackets (see...). Figure 2 Another multi-directional adjustable switch bracket has a reflector 10 on its switch mounting plate 1 (see...). Figure 3 The through-beam switch 9 is used to emit rays, while the reflector 10 is used to receive rays; therefore, the through-beam switch 9 and the reflector 10 are used in conjunction. In use, such as... Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5A beam switch 9 is installed on the support rail 2 at the bottom of the left switch bracket, and a reflector 10 is installed on the support rail 2 at the bottom of the right switch bracket. For example, the support rail 2 at the bottom of the left switch bracket and the support rail 2 at the bottom of the right switch bracket are both straight rails and are arranged in parallel. The two multi-directional adjustable switch brackets in the switch assembly are arranged opposite each other to ensure that the reflector 10 can receive the beam emitted by the beam switch 9.

[0028] In scenarios such as automobile production lines, multiple sets of this switch assembly may be needed simultaneously. In this case, two aforementioned bracket tracks 2 can be used, with multiple multi-directional adjustable switch brackets set on each bracket track 2, and two multi-directional adjustable switch brackets in opposite positions can form a set of switch assemblies.
