[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0026] Example: An ultrasonic sensor mounting bracket for robot vision, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the system includes a robot 1, a sensor protective shell 2 installed on the outside of the robot 1, a bracket 3 installed inside the sensor protective shell 2, the bracket 3 being plugged into the robot 1, an ultrasonic sensor 4 installed inside the bracket 3, and an installation and removal assembly 5 installed outside the ultrasonic sensor 4.

[0027] The bracket 3 has several snap-fit ​​grooves 301 and movable grooves 302 evenly opened on the inner walls of opposite sides;

[0028] The installation and removal assembly 5 includes a support base 501 that is threadedly connected to the lower end of the ultrasonic sensor 4. Several telescopic rods 502 are evenly arranged on opposite sides of the lower end of the support base 501. A first spring 504 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rods 502. A snap-fit ​​block 503 is installed on the outer end of the telescopic rods 502. A limit plate 505 is slidably arranged inside the bracket 3. Several limit springs 506 are evenly installed on the lower end of the limit plate 505. A disassembly rod 507 is provided on the outer end of the snap-fit ​​block 503.

[0029] The first spring 504 is fixedly connected at its two ends to the front end of the telescopic rod 502 storage cylinder and the inner end of the snap-fit ​​block 503, respectively. The snap-fit ​​block 503 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 301, and the upper inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 301 is in contact with the upper surface of the snap-fit ​​block 503.

[0030] The lower surface of the support base 501 is in contact with the upper surface of the limiting plate 505, and the end of the limiting spring 506 away from the limiting plate 505 is fixedly connected to the lower inner wall of the bracket 3.

[0031] The movable groove 302 is opened through one side surface of the bracket 3. The movable groove 302 is through the snap-fit ​​groove 301. The disassembly rod 507 rotates inside the movable groove 302. The lower end of the movable groove 302 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 301. The outer surface of the snap-fit ​​block 503 is in contact with the outer surface of the disassembly rod 507.

[0032] When bracket 3 is not installed, the limiting spring 506 is not compressed, and the limiting plate 505 is at its highest position. When installing the ultrasonic sensor 4, the ultrasonic sensor 4 is connected to the support base 501, and then the locking block 503 is pressed inward, simultaneously compressing the first spring 504. Then, the locking block 503 and the ultrasonic sensor 4 are simultaneously inserted into the bracket 3. Under the compression of the inner wall of the bracket 3, the locking block 503 fits tightly against the inner wall of the bracket 3, and the first spring 504 is in a compressed state. When the lower end of the support base 501 contacts the limiting plate 505, the ultrasonic sensor 4 is continuously pressed downwards. The limiting plate 505 moves downwards, and the limiting spring 506 is compressed. When the locking block 503 moves to the locking groove 301, the first spring 504 is no longer compressed by the bracket 3. Under the rebound action of the first spring 504, the locking block 503 moves into the locking groove 301, releasing the ultrasonic sensor 4. Under the rebound action of the limiting spring 506, the ultrasonic sensor 4 is pushed upwards. When the upper end of the snap-fit ​​block 503 is in contact with the inner wall of the upper end of the snap-fit ​​groove 301, the limiting spring 506 is always under pressure, completing the installation of the ultrasonic sensor 4. When removing the ultrasonic sensor 4, push the upper end of the disassembly rod 507 outward, and the lower end of the disassembly rod 507 will rotate in an arc shape inside the movable groove 302. During the rotation of the lower end of the disassembly rod 507, the disassembly rod 507 will apply a pushing force to the snap-fit ​​block 503, pushing the snap-fit ​​block 503 towards the side of the first spring 504. The movement continues until the locking block 503 disengages from the locking slot 301 and pops outward under the pushing force of the limit spring 506, completing the removal of the ultrasonic sensor 4. Under the action of the installation and removal component 5, the installation and removal operation of the ultrasonic sensor 4 and the bracket 3 is simple and convenient, and the installation and removal of the ultrasonic sensor 4 can be quickly realized. Compared with the traditional connection method, the installation and removal time is greatly reduced, and the installation and removal efficiency of the bracket 3 and the ultrasonic sensor 4 is further improved. At the same time, it facilitates the later inspection and replacement of the ultrasonic sensor 4.

[0033] like Figures 1-4 As shown, two rotating grooves 303 are symmetrically opened on the upper surface of the bracket 3. A screw 6 is rotatably installed inside the rotating groove 303, and a screw cylinder 7 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the screw 6.

[0034] A limiting block 8 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the screw cylinder 7. The limiting block 8 is inserted into the bracket 3. The upper surface of the limiting block 8 is in contact with the lower surface of the limiting plate 505.

[0035] When the ultrasonic sensor 4 is installed inside the bracket 3, the limiting block 8 is located on the lower inner wall of the bracket 3. When the snap-fit ​​block 503 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 301, the screw 6 is rotated. Based on the threaded connection between the screw 6 and the screw barrel 7, the screw 6 will drive the screw barrel 7 to move until the limiting block 8 is in contact with the lower surface of the limiting plate 505, and the rotation of the screw 6 stops. At this time, the position of the limiting plate 505 is fixed. Under the action of the limiting block 8, the position of the limiting plate 505 can be limited, avoiding the problem of the limiting plate 505 shaking up and down due to vibration during the movement of the robot 1, and ensuring the stability of the limiting plate 505 during operation.

[0036] like Figures 1-4 As shown, several limiting rods are evenly installed at the lower end of the limiting plate 505. The limiting rods are inserted into the limiting spring 506, and the lower end of the limiting rod is inserted into the inner wall of the lower end of the bracket 3.

[0037] When the limiting plate 505 moves downward under the pressure of the ultrasonic sensor 4, the limiting plate 505 will drive the limiting rod to move downward synchronously. Under the action of the limiting rod, firstly, the horizontal position of the limiting plate 505 can be limited to prevent the limiting plate 505 from swaying during the downward movement. Secondly, it can limit the limiting spring 506 to prevent the limiting spring 506 from bending and ensure the stability of the limiting spring 506 during operation.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
