Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sensor technology, and more specifically, to a multi-directional cable exit structure for industrial sensors. Background Technology
[0002] Industrial sensors are devices used in industrial environments that can sense, detect, and measure various physical quantities, chemical quantities, or states, and convert them into processable signals (such as electrical signals, digital signals, etc.).
[0003] Existing industrial sensor cabling structures have the following drawbacks: Most industrial sensors have power and communication cables exiting from the side; when the sensor is mounted on a wall, exposed cables are visible, which is unsightly; and power and communication cables are typically laid inside the wall, requiring a junction box at the sensor installation location. Therefore, a rear-mounted cable routing design is needed; this would allow the sensor to be installed flush against the wall, with the power and communication cables completely concealed. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a multi-directional cable exit structure for industrial sensors, which has the advantage of improving the appearance.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a multi-directional cable exit structure for an industrial sensor, including a back plate, a front plate above the back plate, a calibration mechanism above the front plate, a T-shaped circular groove penetrating the bottom of the back plate on the surface of the calibration mechanism, a sensor body above the back plate, a locking mechanism at the front end of the sensor body, the locking mechanism including an elastic block connected to the sensor body via a wire, a slot at the outer end of the elastic block, slots on both sides inside the slot, a plug slidably installed inside the slot, elastic plates integrally installed on both sides of the plug, and a cable extending to the outside of the back plate through the T-shaped circular groove at the rear end of the plug.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the calibration mechanism includes a connecting block bolted to the front end of the front plate, a semi-circular block bolted below the connecting block, a hollow groove opened inside the semi-circular block, a through groove opened below the hollow groove, a thin line extending to the bottom of the through groove installed below the connecting block by a lifting ring, and a ball glued below the thin line.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the internal movable assembly of the T-shaped circular groove has a soft sheath, and the soft sheath movable assembly is on the outside of the cable.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the front end of the elastic plate is designed with an arc surface, and the rear end of the elastic plate is designed with a right angle.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an indicator block is fixedly installed on the outer side of the semicircular block, and the sphere matches the indicator block on the horizontal plane when it is vertical.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] 1. This utility model achieves the effect of back-end cable exit by inserting the plug into the slot for locking connection and then passing the cable out from the T-shaped circular groove. Compared with the cable exit structure of traditional industrial sensors, the multi-directional cable exit structure of this industrial sensor exits the cable from the back. During installation, the cable is covered after the wall is drilled. After installation, the cable is directly arranged inside the wall and cannot be seen from the outside, thus improving the aesthetic effect.
[0012] 2. This utility model adjusts the angle of the industrial sensor by observing the distance between the indicator block and the sphere on the vertical plane, so that the sphere and the indicator block are in contact on the vertical plane. Compared with traditional industrial sensors, this industrial sensor is calibrated by the sphere and the indicator block, thereby allowing the industrial sensor to be installed vertically on the outside of the wall, improving the aesthetic effect after installation and making it easier to use.

Detailed Implementation
[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 Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a multi-directional cable exit structure for an industrial sensor, including a back plate 1, a front plate 2 above the back plate 1, a calibration mechanism 3 above the front plate 2, a T-shaped circular groove 4 penetrating the bottom of the back plate 1 on the surface of the calibration mechanism 3, a sensor body 7 above the back plate 1, a locking mechanism 8 at the front end of the sensor body 7, the locking mechanism 8 including an elastic block 81 connected to the sensor body 7 by a wire, a slot 82 at the outer end of the elastic block 81, slots 83 on both sides inside the slot 82, a plug 84 slidably installed inside the slot 82, elastic plates 85 integrally installed on both sides of the plug 84, and a cable 6 extending through the T-shaped circular groove 4 to the outside of the back plate 1 at the rear end of the plug 84.
[0022] The front end of the elastic plate 85 is designed with an arc surface, and the rear end of the elastic plate 85 is designed with a right angle.
[0023] In use, the insert 84 is inserted into the slot 82. At this time, the elastic block 81 presses against the inclined surface of the elastic plate 85, causing the elastic block 81 and the elastic plate 85 to undergo elastic deformation, thereby increasing the height of the slot 82 and decreasing the thickness of the elastic plate 85, so that the insert 84 is fully inserted into the slot 82. At this time, the elastic plate 85 releases its elastic potential energy and recovers its deformation, causing the elastic plate 85 to move into the slot 83, so that the cable 6 at the rear end of the insert 84 can pass through the T-shaped circular groove 4, so that the cable 6 can pass through the back of the back plate 1. At this time, the back plate 1 is connected to the wall, so that the cable 6 is directly arranged inside the wall, thereby avoiding the influence of the internal components of the sensor and the external mounting parts, realizing the back-out cable method.
[0024] By inserting the plug 84 into the slot 82 for locking connection, and then passing the cable 6 out from the T-shaped groove 4, the effect of back-out cable is achieved. Compared with the cable outlet structure of traditional industrial sensors, the multi-directional cable outlet structure of this industrial sensor is concealed by opening a hole in the wall during installation. After installation, the cable 6 is directly arranged inside the wall and cannot be seen from the outside, thus improving the aesthetic effect.
[0025] The calibration mechanism 3 includes a connecting block 31 bolted to the front end of the front plate 2. A semi-circular block 32 is bolted to the bottom of the connecting block 31. A slot 33 is provided inside the semi-circular block 32. A through slot 34 is provided below the slot 33. A thin line 35 extending to the bottom of the through slot 34 is installed below the connecting block 31 by a lifting ring. A ball 36 is glued to the bottom of the thin line 35. An indicator block 37 is fixedly installed on the outside of the semi-circular block 32. When the ball 36 is vertical, it matches the indicator block 37 on the horizontal plane.
[0026] When installing the industrial sensor, it is placed against the wall. At this time, the sphere 36 is vertically downward under the action of gravity. The installer judges the tilt angle of the industrial sensor to the ground by observing the distance between the indicator block 37 and the sphere 36 on the vertical plane. Then, the angle of the industrial sensor is adjusted so that the thin wire 35 moves inside the through groove 34, so that the sphere 36 and the indicator block 37 are in contact on the vertical plane, thereby achieving the effect of calibrating the industrial sensor.
[0027] The angle of the industrial sensor is adjusted by observing the distance between the indicator block 37 and the ball 36 on the vertical plane, so that the ball 36 and the indicator block 37 fit together on the vertical plane. Compared with traditional industrial sensors, this industrial sensor is calibrated by the ball 36 and the indicator block 37, so that the industrial sensor can be installed vertically on the outside of the wall, which improves the aesthetic effect after installation and makes it easier to use.
[0028] Among them, the internal movable kit of the T-shaped circular groove 4 has a soft sheath 5, and the movable kit of the soft sheath 5 is on the outside of the cable 6.
[0029] By adding a soft sheath 5 at the T-shaped groove 4, the cable 6 is effectively prevented from bending and damaged, thus protecting the cable 6.
[0030] Working principle and usage process:
[0031] In use, the insert 84 is inserted into the slot 82. At this time, the elastic block 81 presses against the inclined surface of the elastic plate 85, causing the elastic block 81 and the elastic plate 85 to undergo elastic deformation, thereby increasing the height of the slot 82 and decreasing the thickness of the elastic plate 85, so that the insert 84 is fully inserted into the slot 82. At this time, the elastic plate 85 releases its elastic potential energy and recovers its deformation, causing the elastic plate 85 to move into the slot 83, so that the cable 6 at the rear end of the insert 84 can pass through the T-shaped circular groove 4, so that the cable 6 can pass through the back of the back plate 1. At this time, the back plate 1 is connected to the wall, so that the cable 6 is directly arranged inside the wall, thereby avoiding the influence of the internal components of the sensor and the external mounting parts, realizing the back-out cable method.
[0032] When installing the industrial sensor, it is placed against the wall. At this time, the sphere 36 is vertically downward under the action of gravity. The installer judges the tilt angle of the industrial sensor to the ground by observing the distance between the indicator block 37 and the sphere 36 on the vertical plane. Then, the angle of the industrial sensor is adjusted so that the thin wire 35 moves inside the through groove 34, so that the sphere 36 and the indicator block 37 are in contact on the vertical plane, thereby achieving the effect of calibrating the industrial sensor.
