Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optoelectronic bracket technology, and more specifically, to an optoelectronic bracket for a conveyor line. Background Technology

[0002] In automated conveyor line production, photoelectric support brackets are key auxiliary devices used to fix photoelectric sensors. They provide a stable mounting base for the sensors, ensuring accurate material detection, such as counting, positioning, or status recognition.

[0003] However, existing optoelectronic brackets have the following problems when in use:

[0004] Traditional photoelectric support brackets have limited adjustment capabilities, often requiring manual operation and only allowing for unidirectional adjustment. This method is ill-suited for detecting materials of different specifications, exhibiting low precision in angle and height adjustments, which can easily lead to detection errors and negatively impact the automated detection performance of the conveyor line.

[0005] This invention can achieve precise adjustment of horizontal, vertical, and angle through multi-structure collaboration, adapting to different material detection needs, while protecting the drive components, ensuring stable sensor operation, and improving detection efficiency and reliability. Utility Model Content

[0006] The present invention aims to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art and provide a photoelectric support for a conveyor line.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a photoelectric support for a conveyor line, comprising: a base, an electric telescopic rod rotatably connected to the upper end of the base, a fixed frame fixedly installed at the upper end of the output end of the electric telescopic rod, a receiving cavity opened at the upper end of the base, a protective shell fixedly installed inside the receiving cavity, a rotary drive device fixedly installed inside the protective shell, and its output end fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric telescopic rod, a fixed block fixedly installed on the front of the fixed frame, a steering ball rotatably installed inside the fixed block, an mounting plate fixedly installed on the front of the steering ball, and a photoelectric sensor fixedly connected to the mounting plate.

[0008] A further preferred embodiment: a groove is formed between the receiving cavity and the protective shell, the groove being circular and slidably connected to the electric telescopic rod.

[0009] A further preferred embodiment: a telescopic plate is fixedly connected to the rear side of the electric telescopic rod, and a slider is fixedly installed at the bottom of the telescopic plate, with the slider slidably connected to the slide groove.

[0010] A further preferred embodiment: connecting blocks are fixedly installed on the rear side of both the base end and the output end of the electric telescopic rod, and the connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the base end and the output end of the telescopic plate, respectively.

[0011] A further preferred embodiment: the front of the fixing block is provided with a steering groove, the steering groove is cut into upper and lower sections, and the steering ball is rotatably installed inside the steering groove.

[0012] A further preferred embodiment: a motor is fixedly mounted on the outer end face of the fixing block, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the steering ball.

[0013] A further preferred embodiment: a connecting rod is fixedly installed on the front of the steering ball, and the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the rear end of the mounting plate.

[0014] A further preferred embodiment: mounting screw holes are provided at all four corners of the mounting plate. Beneficial effects

[0015] 1. By setting up a receiving cavity, a protective shell, and a sliding groove, the receiving cavity provides installation space for the rotary drive device, the protective shell forms a closed protection for it, ensuring the stable operation of the drive device, and the circular sliding groove between the receiving cavity and the protective shell, together with the slider at the bottom of the telescopic plate, provides guidance and limit for the rotation of the electric telescopic rod. When the electric telescopic rod rotates horizontally, the slider slides along the sliding groove, and together with the telescopic plate connected by the connecting block, a stable support structure is formed, which effectively suppresses shaking and offset, and improves the accuracy of rotation adjustment. When adjusting the height, the cooperation between the sliding groove and the slider, together with the synchronous extension and retraction of the telescopic plate, ensures that the electric telescopic rod rises and falls smoothly, prevents lateral offset, and enhances the overall stability of the support structure and the reliability of adjustment.

[0016] 2. Equipped with an electric telescopic rod, connecting block, and telescopic plate, the electric telescopic rod can precisely control the telescopic amount to meet the detection needs of materials at different heights. The connecting block firmly connects the electric telescopic rod and the telescopic plate, ensuring that their movements are synchronized. When the telescopic rod rises and falls, the telescopic plate extends and retracts in coordination to avoid structural jamming. This linkage structure enhances overall stability. When the electric telescopic rod is adjusted in height or rotates with the rotary drive device, the telescopic plate transmits stress through the connecting block, distributing the load and reducing the risk of deformation of the telescopic rod. At the same time, in conjunction with the slider and slide groove, it further improves the smoothness and structural rigidity during the adjustment process, ensuring the accuracy of the detection position.

[0017] 3. By incorporating a steering ball and a motor, the motor directly drives the steering ball to rotate, replacing the traditional manual adjustment method. Precise angle control can be achieved through digital control, significantly improving adjustment efficiency and accuracy. The steering ball rotates flexibly within the steering groove, and with the driving force of the motor, it can quickly respond to adjustment needs and adapt to detection scenarios of materials with different shapes and positions. The combination of the two forms a stable angle adjustment structure, avoiding the loosening or deviation that may occur with manual adjustment, ensuring that the photoelectric sensor is always accurately aligned with the detection target, and enhancing the adaptability of the bracket to complex working conditions and the detection stability.

[0018] 4. In summary, this type of photoelectric support for the conveyor line, through the inclusion of a receiving cavity, protective shell, slide groove, electric telescopic rod, connecting block, telescopic plate, steering ball, and motor, provides installation and protection space for the drive components through the receiving cavity and protective shell. The slide groove, in conjunction with the slider, ensures smooth rotation. The electric telescopic rod, combined with the connecting block and telescopic plate, enables precise height adjustment and enhances structural rigidity. The steering ball and motor enable precise electric control of the detection angle. The cooperation of these structures not only improves the flexibility and accuracy of adjustment, meeting the detection needs under different working conditions, but also reduces swaying and offset through multiple stabilization mechanisms, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the photoelectric sensor, significantly enhancing the practicality, reliability, and adaptability of the support.

[0023] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figures 1-3 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-3In this embodiment of the utility model, a photoelectric support for a conveyor line includes: a base 1, an electric telescopic rod 2 rotatably connected to the upper end of the base 1, a fixed frame 3 fixedly installed at the upper end of the output end of the electric telescopic rod 2, a receiving cavity 101 opened at the upper end of the base 1, a protective shell 102 fixedly installed inside the receiving cavity 101, a rotary drive device fixedly installed inside the protective shell 102, and its output end fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric telescopic rod 2, a fixed block 301 fixedly installed on the front of the fixed frame 3, a steering ball 303 rotatably installed inside the fixed block 301, and a fixed block 303 fixedly installed on the front of the steering ball 303. A mounting plate 306 is fixedly installed, and the mounting plate 306 is fixedly connected to the photoelectric sensor. A connecting rod 305 is fixedly installed on the front of the steering ball 303, and the connecting rod 305 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the mounting plate 306. Mounting screw holes are provided at all four corners of the mounting plate 306. First, the base 1 is fixedly installed in a suitable position on the conveyor line. Then, the photoelectric sensor is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 306 through the mounting screw holes at the four corners of the mounting plate 306. When it is necessary to adjust the horizontal detection position of the photoelectric sensor, the rotation drive device inside the protective shell 102 is activated, and its output end drives the electric extension... The telescopic rod 2 rotates horizontally on the base 1 to adjust the horizontal detection position of the photoelectric sensor, meeting the detection requirements of different angles. When the detection height needs to be adjusted, the telescopic rod 2 is controlled to extend and retract, causing its output end to drive the fixed frame 3 and the photoelectric sensor above it to adjust the vertical height to adapt to the detection of materials of different heights. At the same time, the angle of the mounting plate 306 can be adjusted by rotating the steering ball 303 according to the specific shape and position of the materials on the conveyor line. The steering ball 303 rotates within the fixed block 301, and the angle of the mounting plate 306 and the photoelectric sensor is finely adjusted through the connecting rod 305, ensuring that the photoelectric sensor can accurately align with the detection target. After all adjustments are completed, the photoelectric sensor begins to detect the materials on the conveyor line. When the material passes through the detection area, the photoelectric sensor senses the material and sends a corresponding signal, realizing the functions of counting, positioning or status detection of the material. If it is necessary to change the detected material or adjust the detection parameters, the above position adjustment and angle fine adjustment steps can be repeated. If it is necessary to replace the photoelectric sensor, simply remove the fixing bolts on the mounting plate 306 for easy replacement.

[0025] In this embodiment of the present invention, a groove 103 is formed between the receiving cavity 101 and the protective shell 102. The groove 103 is circular and is slidably connected to the electric telescopic rod 2. A telescopic plate 202 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the electric telescopic rod 2. A slider 203 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the telescopic plate 202. The slider 203 is slidably connected to the groove 103. When performing horizontal rotation adjustment, the rotation drive device drives the electric telescopic rod 2 to rotate. At this time, the telescopic plate 202 on the rear side of the electric telescopic rod 2 rotates synchronously with it. The slider 203 at the bottom slides along the circular groove 103. The groove 103 guides and limits the slider 203. Together with the telescopic plate 202, they enhance the stability of the electric telescopic rod 2 during rotation, avoid wobbling or deviation, and ensure the accuracy of horizontal rotation adjustment.

[0026] In this embodiment of the utility model, a connecting block 201 is fixedly installed on the base end and the rear side of the output end of the electric telescopic rod 2. The connecting block 201 is fixedly connected to the base end and the output end of the telescopic plate 202, respectively. When the electric telescopic rod 2 extends and retracts to adjust the height, its output end pulls the telescopic plate 202 to extend and retract synchronously through the connecting block 201. The connecting block 201 ensures the consistency of movement between the electric telescopic rod 2 and the telescopic plate 202 in the height direction, so that the slider 203 always maintains good contact with the slide groove 103 when it rises and falls with the electric telescopic rod 2. This does not affect the flexibility of height adjustment, and the limiting effect of the slide groove 103 prevents the electric telescopic rod 2 from shifting laterally, thus achieving stable height adjustment.

[0027] In this embodiment of the utility model, a steering groove 302 is provided on the front of the fixing block 301. The steering groove 302 is vertically slotted. The steering ball 303 is rotatably installed inside the steering groove 302. A motor 304 is fixedly installed on the outer end face of the fixing block 301. The output end of the motor 304 is fixedly connected to the steering ball 303. When it is necessary to adjust the pitch angle of the photoelectric sensor, the motor 304 on the outer end face of the fixing block 301 is started. The output end of the motor 304 directly drives the steering ball 303 to rotate in the steering groove 302. The vertically slotted structure of the steering groove 302 provides a stable rotation guide for the steering ball 303 and restricts lateral offset. This allows the steering ball 303 to drive the mounting plate 306 and the photoelectric sensor through the connecting rod 305 to achieve precise angle adjustment. Compared with traditional manual adjustment, the motor drive method can realize digital control and improve the accuracy and efficiency of angle adjustment.

[0028] Working principle: The base 1 is placed in the preset installation position of the conveyor line and fixed with bolts or other fastening methods to ensure that the base 1 is firmly connected to the conveyor line frame, providing a stable support foundation for the entire photoelectric bracket. Using the mounting screw holes at the four corners of the mounting plate 306, the photoelectric sensor is firmly fixed to the mounting plate 306 with bolts, ensuring that the photoelectric sensor will not loosen or shift during subsequent operation. When it is necessary to adjust the horizontal detection position of the photoelectric sensor, the control system activates the rotation drive device inside the protective shell 102. The output end of the rotation drive device drives the electric telescopic rod 2 to rotate horizontally on the base 1. At this time, the telescopic plate 202 on the rear side of the electric telescopic rod 2 rotates synchronously with it under the drive of the connecting block 201. The slider 203 at the bottom of 202 slides along the circular groove 103. The groove 103 guides and limits the slider 203. Together with the telescopic plate 202 and the connecting block 201, it effectively enhances the stability of the electric telescopic rod 2 during rotation, preventing swaying or deviation. After rotating to the desired horizontal position, the rotation drive device is turned off, completing the adjustment of the horizontal detection position. When it is necessary to adjust the detection height of the photoelectric sensor, the electric telescopic rod 2 is extended and retracted through the control system. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 2 drives the fixed frame 3 and the photoelectric sensor above it to adjust the vertical height. At the same time, the connecting block 201 at the output end of the electric telescopic rod 2 pulls the telescopic plate 202 to extend and retract synchronously. The connecting block 201 ensures that the electric telescopic rod 2 and the telescopic plate 202 are at the same height. The consistent movement in the direction ensures that the slider 203 maintains good contact with the slide groove 103 as it rises and falls with the electric telescopic rod 2. This does not affect the flexibility of height adjustment, and the limiting effect of the slide groove 103 prevents the electric telescopic rod 2 from shifting laterally. When the required detection height is reached, the telescopic action of the electric telescopic rod 2 stops, completing the adjustment of the detection height. When the pitch angle of the photoelectric sensor needs to be adjusted according to the specific shape and position of the material on the conveyor line, the motor 304 on the outer end face of the fixed block 301 is started by the control system. The output end of the motor 304 directly drives the steering ball 303 to rotate in the steering groove 302. The upper and lower slotted structure of the steering groove 302 provides stable rotation guidance for the steering ball 303, while limiting lateral offset. 3. The mounting plate 306 and photoelectric sensor are synchronously rotated via the connecting rod 305, achieving precise pitch angle adjustment. The motor-driven system enables digital control, significantly improving the accuracy and efficiency of angle adjustment compared to traditional manual adjustment. Once the appropriate pitch angle is reached, the motor 304 is turned off, completing the angle adjustment. In practical applications, the control system can be linked to control the rotary drive device, electric telescopic rod 2, and motor 304 to achieve multi-dimensional coordinated adjustment of horizontal detection orientation, detection height, and pitch angle, according to detection requirements. For example, when detecting materials at different heights and positions, horizontal rotation, height adjustment, and angle adjustment can be performed simultaneously, ensuring that the photoelectric sensor can quickly and accurately align with the detection target. After all adjustments are completed...The photoelectric sensor enters its working state and begins to detect materials on the conveyor line. When materials pass through the detection area, the photoelectric sensor senses the materials and sends corresponding signals. These signals are transmitted to the control system to realize functions such as material counting, positioning, or status detection. If it is necessary to change the detected materials or adjust the detection parameters, the above position adjustment and angle fine-tuning steps can be repeated. The horizontal orientation, height, and pitch angle of the photoelectric sensor can be readjusted through the control system to adapt to the new detection requirements. When it is necessary to replace the photoelectric sensor, first, the control system controls the motor 304 to drive the steering ball 303 to rotate, so that the mounting plate 306 and the photoelectric sensor are rotated to a suitable angle for easy operation. Then, the fixing bolts on the mounting plate 306 are removed, the old photoelectric sensor is removed, and the new photoelectric sensor is fixed to the mounting plate 306 through the mounting screw holes. After the replacement is completed, the angle and other parameters are readjusted as needed.
