Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fabric end detector technology, and specifically to a fabric end detector. Background Technology
[0002] In textile production, accurate detection of fabric ends is crucial for controlling the production process, ensuring fabric quality, and achieving equipment linkage. Common fabric end detectors are usually directly fixed to the equipment frame or guide rail with bolts. This installation method is simple and inflexible. When maintaining or adjusting the position, the disassembly and recalibration process is cumbersome, which seriously affects production efficiency.
[0003] Furthermore, existing fabric detection devices have a relatively simple functional structure. On the one hand, their operating status (such as running, alarm, and sleep) lacks intuitive and conspicuous external indicators, requiring operators to observe the indicator lights closely or use specialized tools to confirm their status, which is not conducive to rapid inspection and troubleshooting on the production floor. On the other hand, during initial installation or subsequent adjustments, it is difficult to quickly and accurately align the relative position of the detection head with the fabric being detected, relying mainly on the operator's experience for visual estimation, which is prone to deviation, leading to inaccurate detection, and even missed or false detections, affecting product quality.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a fabric end detector. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a fabric end detector that offers more flexible installation, clearer status indication, and assists in rapid and accurate positioning.

A status indication device is disposed on the outside of the housing. An auxiliary positioning structure is disposed on the outside of the detection head.
[0008] Preferably, the mounting connection structure consists of a T-shaped groove on the back of the housing and a universal mounting base. The universal mounting base slides with the T-shaped groove via a T-shaped slider and is fixed by locking bolts.
[0009] Preferably, the universal mounting base includes a base plate, and the T-shaped slider is integrally formed on the front side of the base plate; the base plate has mounting holes for locking bolts to pass through, and the back side of the base plate is also provided with a buckle for engaging a standard guide rail.
[0010] Preferably, the status indicator is a multi-color indicator disk rotatably mounted on the top of the housing via a rotating shaft, and the top of the housing is printed with positioning marks that cooperate with the multi-color indicator disk.
[0011] Preferably, the top of the housing is provided with an adjustment button hole, and the adjustment button hole is covered with a dust cover connected by a hinge.
[0012] Preferably, the auxiliary positioning structure is a laser pointer mounted on the side of the housing by a fixing clip, and the laser beam of the laser pointer is parallel to the detection center line of the detection head.
[0013] Preferably, the auxiliary positioning structure is a horizontal bubble embedded in the top of the outer shell.
[0014] Preferably, the top of the outer casing is also provided with an integrally formed carrying handle.

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.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0025] This embodiment proposes a fabric end detector, aiming to solve problems such as inflexible installation, unclear status indication, and insufficient positioning accuracy in existing technologies. Figure 1As shown, the fabric detector includes a housing 1 as the main support structure and a detection head 2 disposed at the front end of the housing 1. To achieve the above objectives, this invention incorporates three core improvements: a mounting connection structure is provided on the back of the housing 1 for quick and flexible installation; a status indicator device is provided on the outside of the housing 1 to provide intuitive status feedback; and an auxiliary positioning structure is provided on the outside of the detection head 2 to ensure accurate alignment of the detection area.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting connection structure consists of a T-shaped groove 101 located on the back of the housing 1 and an independent universal mounting base 3. Its working principle is as follows: by aligning and embedding the T-shaped slider 305 on the universal mounting base 3 into the T-shaped groove 101 of the housing, the detector can be initially mounted and positioned. Then, tightening the locking bolt 304 completes the rigid fixation between the detector and the base. The beneficial effect of this design is that it enables rapid separation and assembly of the detector and the mounting base. When maintenance or replacement is required, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire base, greatly simplifying the operation process.
[0027] Furthermore, the universal mounting base 3 itself is also a multifunctional component. It includes a base plate 301, on which the T-shaped slider 305 is integrally formed. The base plate 301 has mounting holes 302 for locking bolts 304 to pass through, which can be used for traditional bolt fixing. At the same time, the back of the base plate 301 also has a clip 303 for engaging a standard guide rail (not shown in the figure). This dual design integrating bolt mounting holes and guide rail clips has the technical advantage of enabling the fabric detector to flexibly adapt to various complex installation environments on site. Whether directly fixed to a frame or installed on a standard guide rail, it can easily cope with various situations, significantly improving the versatility and installation efficiency of the equipment, and fundamentally solving the pain points of single installation method and cumbersome adjustment mentioned in the background art.
[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the specific implementation of the status indicator device is as follows: a multi-color indicator disk 4 is rotatably mounted on the top of the housing 1 via a rotating shaft 401. The top of the housing 1 is printed with positioning marks 402 (such as "Run", "Alarm", "Sleep") corresponding to the different colored sector areas of the multi-color indicator disk 4. Its operation is extremely simple: the operator can manually rotate the multi-color indicator disk according to the different working states of the equipment, aligning the corresponding color area (such as green, red, yellow) with the positioning mark 402 on the housing. The significant effect of this design is that it provides on-site inspection personnel with a power-free, low-cost, and highly conspicuous long-distance visual indicator, greatly facilitating rapid inspection and troubleshooting on the production site.
[0029] In addition, to ensure airtightness while facilitating on-site debugging, an adjustment button hole 102 is provided on the top of the housing 1. The adjustment button hole 102 is covered by a dust cover 7 connected by a hinge 701. When operation is required, the dust cover 7 can be flipped up; after operation, it can be closed to effectively prevent dust and moisture from entering and protect the internal components.
[0030] To address the problems of difficulty in initial positioning of the detection head and reliance on personnel experience, this utility model provides two optional auxiliary positioning structure implementation schemes.
[0031] The first option is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the auxiliary positioning structure is a laser pointer 5 mounted on the side of the housing 1 via a fixing clip 501. Precise calibration is required during installation to ensure that the beam emitted by the laser pointer 5 is strictly parallel to the detection center line of the detection head 2. Its working principle is as follows: During installation and debugging, the laser pointer 5 is turned on, and the emitted visible laser beam forms a clear spot on the fabric channel. The position of this spot is the effective detection area of the detection head 2. The operator only needs to adjust the detector position to align the spot with the preset detection point. The advantage of this technology is that it transforms the positioning process, which originally relied on experience and visual inspection, into an objective and precise optical calibration, completely eliminating deviations caused by human estimation. This ensures the accuracy of the detection from the source and effectively avoids false detections and missed detections.
[0032] The second option, as a more economical supplement or alternative, is that the auxiliary positioning structure can also be a level bubble 6 embedded in the top of the housing 1. This option is mainly used to ensure the overall levelness of the detector during installation, providing a reliable horizontal reference for further precise positioning.
[0033] Finally, to improve the portability of the device, the top of the outer shell 1 is also provided with an integrated carrying handle 103, which makes it convenient for operators to pick up and transport the device.
[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
