Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anti-collision technology for measuring instrument probes, and in particular to an anti-collision protection structure for photoelectric measuring instrument probes. Background Technology

[0002] A photoelectric measurement probe is a precision measuring device based on optical sensing technology, widely used in various fields such as industry, manufacturing, and scientific research. The probe mainly consists of a light source, a photoelectric sensor, and a signal processing circuit. Its working principle involves the reflection, transmission, and scattering characteristics of light, as well as the photoelectric effect. When a light beam emitted by the light source illuminates a target object, the beam is reflected, scattered, or transmitted after passing through the object. The photoelectric sensor receives these optical signals and converts them into electrical signals. The signal processing circuit then amplifies, filters, and decodes the electrical signals to obtain measurement parameters related to the target object.

[0003] The structural composition of a photoelectric measurement probe may vary depending on the application scenario and measurement requirements, but it typically includes the following core components: a transmitter, responsible for emitting a light beam, usually using a laser light source, as it can produce a thin beam, thereby improving measurement accuracy; a receiver, responsible for receiving reflected light signals and converting them into electrical signals for processing; and an optical system, containing optical elements such as lenses and mirrors, used to focus, guide, and calibrate the light beam, ensuring that the light beam accurately illuminates the target object and receives the reflected light signals.

[0004] As a high-precision, non-contact measuring tool, photoelectric measuring probes have broad application prospects and development potential. However, in practical applications, although the probe tip is usually connected to a protective cover with a rubber buffer ring installed on it, the latter has limitations in providing cushioning protection and reducing the impact force caused by accidental drops or collisions. When encountering a large impact force, the rubber buffer ring may not be able to effectively absorb and disperse the impact energy, thus damaging the probe.

[0005] Although rubber materials possess certain elasticity and damping properties, their deformation and recovery capabilities may be insufficient to withstand impact forces under high-speed collision conditions, resulting in poor impact protection. Furthermore, improperly designed rubber buffer rings may fail to adequately cover critical areas of the probe, thereby increasing the risk of damage. Utility Model Content

[0006] The main objective of this invention is to provide an anti-collision protection structure for the probe of a photoelectric measuring instrument, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A collision protection structure for a photoelectric measuring instrument probe includes a detection probe and a measuring instrument wire. The measuring instrument wire is located at the tail end of the detection probe, and electrical signals are transmitted through the measuring instrument wire.

[0009] The front end of the detection probe is connected to an anti-collision protection mechanism via a snap-fit ​​connection, which provides buffer protection for the front end of the detection probe.

[0010] The anti-collision protection mechanism includes a snap-fit ​​ring and a buffer protective cover. The front edge of the detection probe has a snap-fit ​​interface, through which the snap-fit ​​ring is connected. The front edge of the snap-fit ​​ring has an inner connecting ring, and the buffer protective cover is connected to the inner connecting ring. The inner end of the inner connecting ring has multiple telescopic rod assemblies, and a return spring assembly is fiber-connected to the telescopic rod assembly. The outer end of the telescopic rod assembly is connected to a rubber ball.

[0016] As an optional solution in this application, multiple telescopic rod assemblies and return spring assemblies are arranged in a ring on the inner end connecting ring.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] The anti-collision protection mechanism significantly enhances the detection probe's impact resistance. Through the combined action of the buffer protective cover, telescopic rod assembly, return spring assembly, and rubber ball, it effectively absorbs the impact force generated by collisions, preventing damage to the detection probe and thus extending its service life.

[0019] The anti-collision protection mechanism ensures that the detection probe can quickly return to its original shape after a collision.

[0026] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0027] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a collision protection structure for a photoelectric measuring instrument probe is designed to effectively protect the probe during use and prevent damage from collisions. The structure mainly comprises the following parts: a detection probe 1, a measuring instrument lead wire 2, and a collision protection mechanism 3. The measuring instrument lead wire 2 is located at the tail end of the detection probe 1, and electrical signals are transmitted through it, ensuring that measurement data is accurately transmitted to the main body of the measuring instrument.

[0028] The front end of the detection probe 1 is connected to an anti-collision protection mechanism 3 via a snap-fit ​​connection. The main function of this mechanism is to prevent damage to the front end of the detection probe 1 upon impact. The anti-collision protection mechanism 3 consists of two main parts: a snap-fit ​​ring 32 and a buffer protective cover 33. A snap-fit ​​interface 31 is provided on the front edge of the detection probe 1, through which the snap-fit ​​ring 32 is connected. The front edge of the snap-fit ​​ring 32 has an inner connecting ring 35, and the buffer protective cover 33 is connected at the inner connecting ring 35, thereby achieving buffer protection for the front end of the detection probe 1.

[0029] To further enhance the anti-collision protection effect, multiple telescopic rod assemblies 36 are provided at the inner end of the inner connecting ring 35. A return spring assembly 37 is fiber-connected to the telescopic rod assembly 36, and a rubber ball 38 is connected to the outer end of the telescopic rod assembly 36. Through the combined action of the telescopic buffer mechanism, the buffer protective cover 33, and the rubber ball 38, the anti-collision protection operation of the detection probe 1 is achieved. This design not only absorbs the impact force generated by a collision but also quickly returns to its original shape after a collision, ensuring the normal operation of the measuring instrument.

[0030] The snap-fit ​​ring 32 and the inner end connecting ring 35 are connected by bolts, ensuring a secure connection. A sealing ring is provided at the connection point between the snap-fit ​​ring 32 and the inner end connecting ring 35 to prevent dust and moisture from entering, ensuring the stability and service life of the internal structure. A recessed groove is formed on the side wall of the inner end connecting ring 35, and the groove wall has a round hole for fixing the telescopic rod assembly 36.

[0031] The buffer cover 33 has a U-shaped cross-section and an overall cylindrical design with a circular outer end. The side wall has mating holes 34. These holes align with the circular holes on the inner connecting ring 35, and bolts are used to secure the buffer cover 33 to the inner connecting ring 35, ensuring the stability and reliability of the buffer cover 33. To further enhance the connection's strength, the buffer cover 33 and the inner connecting ring 35 are also connected by wire wrapping.

[0032] The telescopic pole assembly 36 includes a telescopic base tube and a telescopic pole. The telescopic base tube is threadedly connected to an inner end connecting ring 35, and the telescopic pole is inserted into the telescopic base tube. The inner end of the telescopic pole is a limiting ring, which is placed inside the limiting base tube. The outer end of the limiting base tube is threadedly connected to a retaining ring to prevent the telescopic pole from falling out. This design ensures that the telescopic pole assembly 36 can freely extend and retract upon impact without losing its position.

[0033] The return spring assembly 37 includes a return spring and a limiting ring. The two ends of the return spring are connected to the limiting ring, which is fitted onto the telescopic rod of the telescopic rod assembly 36. The limiting ring is secured by the telescopic base tube and the rubber ball 38. This design ensures that the telescopic rod assembly 36 can quickly return to its original position after a collision, guaranteeing the normal operation of the measuring instrument.

[0034] The rubber ball 38 has an internal cavity and a circular hole on its side wall. The telescopic rod of the telescopic rod assembly 36 is inserted into the circular hole and connected to it by adhesive. This design not only enhances the cushioning effect but also ensures that the rubber ball 38 can quickly return to its original shape after impact, avoiding permanent deformation.

[0035] Multiple telescopic rod assemblies 36 and reset spring assemblies 37 are arranged in a ring on the inner end connecting ring 35. This design ensures that the anti-collision protection mechanism 3 can provide uniform protection in all directions, thereby comprehensively protecting the safety of the detection probe 1.

[0036] Prepare the detection probe 1, ensuring the locking interface 31 at the front edge is intact. Next, take the anti-collision protection mechanism 3, where the locking ring 32 engages with the front end of the detection probe 1 via the locking interface 31, ensuring a secure engagement. Then, connect the inner connecting ring 35 to the locking ring 32 with bolts, paying attention to the installation of the sealing ring during the connection process to prevent dust and moisture from entering. Fix the telescopic rod assembly 36 through the round hole in the recessed groove on the side wall of the inner connecting ring 35, ensuring the telescopic rod assembly 36 can extend and retract freely. Next, place the limiting ring of the return spring assembly 37 onto the telescopic rod of the telescopic rod assembly 36, and restrict it using the telescopic base tube and rubber ball 38. The rubber ball 38 is connected to the telescopic rod of the telescopic rod assembly 36 with adhesive, ensuring its stability. Finally, align the mating hole 34 of the buffer protective cover 33 with the round hole on the inner connecting ring 35, fix it with bolts, and further enhance the connection's strength by wrapping it with wire. At this point, the anti-collision protection structure for the probe of the photoelectric measuring instrument is assembled.

[0037] When using the photoelectric measuring instrument, first install the assembled probe anti-collision protection structure onto the instrument's detection probe 1. Ensure the measuring instrument's wires 2 are connected correctly and the electrical signal transmission is normal. When the measuring instrument is working, the front end of the detection probe 1 will encounter various collisions. At this time, the anti-collision protection mechanism 3 begins to function. The buffer protective cover 33 first contacts the colliding object, providing initial cushioning. Simultaneously, the telescopic rod assembly 36 extends and retracts under the impact force, absorbing the impact. The return spring assembly 37 resets the telescopic rod assembly 36 during its extension and retraction, ensuring that the telescopic rod assembly 36 quickly returns to its original position after a collision. The rubber ball 38 not only enhances the cushioning effect but also prevents permanent deformation. Through the combined action of the anti-collision protection mechanism 3, comprehensive protection of the detection probe 1 is achieved, ensuring the normal operation of the measuring instrument. During use, regularly check the stability and integrity of the anti-collision protection structure to ensure it maintains its good anti-collision effect at all times.
