Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of detection technology, and in particular relates to a detection device for a diffuse reflection light curtain protective cover. Background Technology

[0002] A diffuse reflection light curtain is a type of light curtain in which the light-emitting device and the light-receiving device are on the same side. The light-emitting device emits a beam of light, which is reflected back when it encounters an object, and the light-receiving device receives and processes the light. It is widely used in the field of photoelectric switches. In order to improve the protection effect of diffuse reflection light curtains, protective covers are currently used for protection.

[0003] However, during use, the light transmittance of the diffuse reflection light curtain is easily reduced due to environmental factors such as dust or water vapor, resulting in a decrease in the intensity of reflected light. This requires manual cleaning, which is not only troublesome and labor-intensive, but also affects the normal use of the diffuse reflection light curtain. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a detection device for diffuse reflection light curtain protective covers. By setting up a movable image acquisition mechanism, it can take pictures and scan various positions of the light curtain protective cover body. The scanned image signals are transmitted to an image processor for processing and analysis. When dust or moisture is detected on the light curtain protective cover body, the image processor sends a signal to the controller, which activates the alarm to alert the staff. At the same time, the controller sends a signal to the servo motor and air pump, which drive the cleaning mechanism to move up and down reciprocally through the image acquisition mechanism to clean the surface of the light curtain protective cover body. This avoids the trouble of manual cleaning, reduces the labor intensity, and ensures the normal use of the diffuse reflection light curtain.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A detection device for a diffuse reflection light curtain protective cover includes a fixed frame fixed to the side of the light curtain protective cover body; the fixed frame has a "U" shape structure, and an image acquisition mechanism is provided on the inner side of the fixed frame. The image acquisition mechanism includes a screw, a servo motor, a moving block, and a camera. The screw is rotatably connected to the inner side of the horizontal end of the fixed frame, and a servo motor connected to the screw is mounted on the upper side of the fixed frame. A moving block is screwed onto the screw and slidably connected to the inner side of the vertical end of the fixed frame. A camera is mounted on the left side of the moving block. From top to bottom, an image processor, a controller, and an alarm are arranged on the outer side of the vertical end of the fixed frame. The output end of the camera is electrically connected to the input end of the image processor, the output end of the image processor is electrically connected to the output end of the controller, and the output end of the controller is electrically connected to the input end of the alarm and the servo motor, respectively. A mounting bracket is provided on the moving block, and a cleaning mechanism is provided on the mounting bracket. The cleaning mechanism includes... The system comprises an air pump, an air inlet pipe, a mounting plate, a jet nozzle, and an air delivery pipe. The mounting frame has an "L"-shaped structure. The air pump is mounted on the upper horizontal side of the mounting frame, and an air inlet pipe is installed at the air pump's air inlet. A mounting plate is fixed to the horizontal end of the mounting frame, and a jet nozzle is mounted on the mounting plate. The air pump is connected to the jet nozzle via the air delivery pipe. By setting up a movable image acquisition mechanism, various positions of the light curtain protective cover can be photographed and scanned. The scanned image signals are transmitted to an image processor for processing and analysis. When dust or moisture is detected on the light curtain protective cover, the image processor sends a signal to the controller. The controller activates the alarm to alert the staff. Simultaneously, the controller sends a signal to the servo motor and air pump, which drive the cleaning mechanism to move up and down reciprocally through the image acquisition mechanism to clean the surface of the light curtain protective cover. This avoids the trouble of manual cleaning, reduces labor intensity, and ensures the normal use of the diffuse reflection light curtain.

[0007] Furthermore, there are two fixing plates, which are located on the upper and lower sides of the left end of the mounting frame, and both fixing plates are inclined. By setting two inclined fixing plates, dust and water vapor in opposite directions can be blown away at the same time, ensuring the cleaning effect. Compared with the scraper cleaning method, it will not scratch the light curtain protective cover body and improve its service life.

[0008] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: By setting a movable image acquisition mechanism, various positions of the light curtain protective cover can be photographed and scanned. The scanned image signals are transmitted to the image processor for processing and analysis. When dust or moisture is detected on the light curtain protective cover, the image processor sends a signal to the controller, which then activates the alarm to alert the staff. Simultaneously, the controller sends a signal to the servo motor and air pump, which drive the cleaning mechanism to move up and down repeatedly through the image acquisition mechanism to clean the surface of the light curtain protective cover. This avoids the hassle of manual cleaning, reduces labor intensity, and ensures the normal use of the diffuse reflection light curtain. By setting two inclined fixed plates, dust and moisture in opposite directions can be blown away simultaneously, ensuring a good cleaning effect. Compared with scraper-type cleaning methods, this method does not scratch the light curtain protective cover and extends its service life. Attached Figure Description
