Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of vision sensors, and specifically relates to a vision sensor mounting structure. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, vision sensors have played a crucial role as the direct source of information for machine vision systems. They typically consist of one or two image sensors, and sometimes also require light projectors and other auxiliary equipment. The main function of a vision sensor is to capture sufficient raw images for processing by the machine vision system. There are many types of vision sensors, such as industrial cameras (e.g., CCD cameras). After the product is imaged using an industrial camera, it is then sampled and analyzed using inspection equipment.
[0003] Currently, most vision sensors are fixed with screws during use. While this method is stable enough, it is inconvenient to remove each screw individually when disassembling or replacing them. In addition, the lens area of the vision sensor after installation often lacks effective protection measures. When exposed to environmental factors such as splashes and dust, the lens is easily damaged, affecting the normal operation and lifespan of the vision sensor. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a visual sensor mounting structure that addresses the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A visual sensor mounting structure includes mounting components, including a mounting base plate, a placement plate, and a top cover plate. A bottom cover plate is fixedly connected to the top of the placement plate. A closing assembly is provided between the outer surface of the top cover plate and the outer surface of the bottom cover plate. A limit assembly is provided on the outer surface of the top cover plate. A protective component includes a protective lens that is slidably connected to the outer surface of the placement plate. A transmission assembly is provided between the outer surface of the protective lens and the outer surface of the mounting base plate.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the closing assembly includes a first gear symmetrically rotatably connected to the lower cover plate, a first toothed plate symmetrically slidably inserted into the outer surface of the lower cover plate, the bottom end of the first toothed plate being fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting base plate, the outer surface of the first toothed plate being slidably connected to the outer surface of the placement plate, and a second toothed plate symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer surface of the upper cover plate, the outer surface of the first toothed plate meshing with the outer surface of the first gear, and the outer surface of the second toothed plate meshing with the outer surface of the first gear.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the limiting component includes a limiting rod symmetrically slidably inserted into the outer surface of the upper cover plate. The outer surface of the upper cover plate is symmetrically provided with a first sliding groove. A pulling plate is slidably connected inside the first sliding groove. The outer surface of the pulling plate is fixedly connected to the outer end of the limiting rod. A first spring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the first sliding groove. The end of the first spring away from the first sliding groove is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pulling plate.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a second spring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting base plate, and the end of the second spring away from the mounting base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the placement plate.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a limiting hole is formed on the outer surface of the first gear, and the interior of the limiting hole is adapted to the outer surface of the limiting rod. In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the transmission assembly includes a third toothed plate fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting base plate. A second sliding groove is formed on the outer surface of the mounting plate. The interior of the second sliding groove is slidably connected to the bottom of the protective lens. A third spring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the second sliding groove. The end of the third spring away from the second sliding groove is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective lens. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the interior of the second sliding groove. A take-up reel is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod. A pull rope is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the take-up reel. The end of the pull rope away from the take-up reel is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective lens. A second gear is fixedly connected to the outer end of the rotating rod. The outer surface of the second gear meshes with the outer surface of the third toothed plate.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an open slot plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the upper cover plate, and the top of the protective lens is adapted to the interior of the open slot plate.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. By setting up a closing component and a limiting component, the upper and lower cover plates can be quickly and stably closed and opened. When installing or removing the vision sensor, operate the relevant parts of the closing component, such as rotating the first gear to drive the first and second gear plates to move relative to each other, so as to separate or close the cover plate. In the closed state, the limiting component accurately positions and firmly limits the upper cover plate to prevent loosening or displacement. This avoids the inconvenience of operating one by one when fixing and disassembling with screws, improves the efficiency of vision sensor installation and disassembly, and saves time and labor costs.
[0012] 2. By setting up a transmission component, the protective lens can automatically move to the lens position of the vision sensor after installation to protect it. The second gear will rotate under the drive of the third gear plate, which in turn drives the rotating rod to rotate. The winding wheel on the rotating rod will rotate accordingly, pulling the protective lens upward along the second slide groove by pulling the rope, and accurately moving it to the lens position of the vision sensor to form an effective protective barrier to prevent dust, debris and other objects from contaminating and damaging the lens, and to ensure the imaging quality and stability of the vision sensor in subsequent use.

Detailed Implementation
[0015] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0016] Example 1 Reference Figures 1-5This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a visual sensor mounting structure, including mounting components, including a mounting base plate 10, a placement plate 11, and an upper cover plate 12. A lower cover plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the placement plate 11. A closing component 14 is provided between the outer surface of the upper cover plate 12 and the outer surface of the lower cover plate 13. A limiting component 15 is provided on the outer surface of the upper cover plate 12. Specifically, the closing assembly 14 includes a first gear 141 symmetrically rotatably connected to the lower cover plate 13, a first toothed plate 142 symmetrically slidably inserted into the outer surface of the lower cover plate 13, the bottom end of the first toothed plate 142 being fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting base plate 10, and the outer surface of the first toothed plate 142 being slidably connected to the outer surface of the placement plate 11. A second toothed plate 143 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer surface of the upper cover plate 12, the outer surface of the first toothed plate 142 meshing with the outer surface of the first gear 141, and the outer surface of the second toothed plate 143 meshing with the outer surface of the first gear 141. Furthermore, the limiting component 15 includes a limiting rod 151 symmetrically slidably inserted into the outer surface of the upper cover plate 12. The outer surface of the upper cover plate 12 is symmetrically provided with a first sliding groove 152. A pulling plate 153 is slidably connected inside the first sliding groove 152. The outer surface of the pulling plate 153 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the limiting rod 151. A first spring 154 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the first sliding groove 152. The end of the first spring 154 away from the first sliding groove 152 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pulling plate 153. A second spring 16 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting base plate 10. The end of the second spring 16 away from the mounting base plate 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the placement plate 11.
[0017] The closure component 14 enables the upper cover plate 12 and the lower cover plate 13 to achieve a stable and flexible closing action through the meshing of gears and toothed plates. When closing is required, the meshing action of the first gear 141 with the first toothed plate 142 and the second toothed plate 143 allows the upper cover plate 12 to smoothly move towards the lower cover plate 13 along a predetermined trajectory until it is completely closed, effectively preventing structural loosening or damage caused by external impact. The limiting component 15 enables the limiting rod 151 to be inserted into the corresponding limiting hole 17 on the first gear 141 when the upper cover plate 12 is closed to the appropriate position, playing a role in precise positioning and stabilization, preventing the upper cover plate 12 from shifting when subjected to vibration or external interference. The cooperation between the pulling plate 153 and the first spring 154 allows the operator to control the extension and retraction of the limiting rod 151 by pulling the pulling plate 153, conveniently and quickly realizing the limiting and unlocking operations.
[0018] Preferably, a limiting hole 17 is provided on the outer surface of the first gear 141, and the interior of the limiting hole 17 is adapted to the outer surface of the limiting rod 151.
[0019] It should be noted that the opening position of the limiting hole 17 is carefully designed to ensure that when the first gear 141 is engaged with the first toothed plate 142 and the second toothed plate 143 to a fully closed state, the limiting rod 151 can be accurately inserted into it, thereby achieving a stable limiting of the upper cover plate 12. This design not only improves the stability of the structure, but also greatly enhances the impact resistance of the vision sensor mounting structure.
[0020] In use, the operator first fixes the mounting base plate 10 in a suitable position. When the vision sensor needs to be installed, it is placed inside the lower cover plate 13. Then, the operator simply pulls the pull plate 153 to pull out the limit bar 151. Subsequently, by pressing down on the upper cover plate 12, the upper cover plate 12 drives the second toothed plate 143 to move downward. The second toothed plate 143 meshes with the first gear 141, driving the first gear 141 to rotate. The first gear 141 then meshes with the first toothed plate 142, allowing the upper cover plate 12 to descend smoothly along the direction of the first toothed plate 142 until the upper cover plate 12 and the lower cover plate 13 are completely closed. At this point, the operator releases the pull plate 153, and the first spring 154... When the pull plate 153 moves the limiting rod 151 toward the first gear 141, the limiting rod 151 is inserted into the limiting hole 17 on the first gear 141, thus fixing the upper cover plate 12 and making the entire installation structure more stable. When it is necessary to disassemble or replace the vision sensor, the operator only needs to pull the pull plate 153 to pull the limiting rod 151 out of the limiting hole 17, release the limitation on the upper cover plate 12, and then lift the upper cover plate 12 upward. The upper cover plate 12 drives the second toothed plate 143 to move upward. Through the meshing of the first gear 141 and the first toothed plate 142, the upper cover plate 12 rises smoothly along the direction of the first toothed plate 142 until it is fully opened. At this time, the vision sensor can be easily removed or replaced.
[0021] Example 2 Reference Figures 1-5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides a visual sensor mounting structure, including a protective component, including a protective lens 20 that is slidably connected to the outer surface of the placement plate 11. A transmission component 21 is provided between the outer surface of the protective lens 20 and the outer surface of the mounting base plate 10.
[0022] Specifically, the transmission assembly 21 includes a third toothed plate 211 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting base plate 10. A second slide groove 212 is provided on the outer surface of the placement plate 11. The interior of the second slide groove 212 is slidably connected to the bottom of the protective lens 20. A third spring 213 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the second slide groove 212. The end of the third spring 213 away from the second slide groove 212 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective lens 20. A rotating rod 214 is rotatably connected to the interior of the second slide groove 212. A take-up reel 215 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 214. A pull rope 216 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the take-up reel 215. The end of the pull rope 216 away from the take-up reel 215 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective lens 20. A second gear 217 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the rotating rod 214. The outer surface of the second gear 217 meshes with the outer surface of the third toothed plate 211.
[0023] The transmission component 21 enables the protective lens 20 to automatically move to the lens position of the vision sensor after installation to protect it. The protective lens 20 is made of optical glass, which has high light transmittance and good impact resistance, effectively protecting the vision sensor lens without affecting its normal image acquisition function. In use, when the first gear 141 rotates, it drives the first toothed plate 142 to move. The movement of the first toothed plate 142 drives the mounting base plate 10 to move. Since the third toothed plate 211 is fixedly connected to the mounting base plate 10, the third toothed plate 211 also moves accordingly. During the movement of the third toothed plate 211, it meshes with the second gear 217, driving the second gear 217 to rotate. The rotation of the second gear 217 drives the rotating rod 214 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating rod 214 causes the take-up reel 215 to rotate as well. The rotation of the take-up reel 215 winds up the pull rope 216. The other end of the pull rope 216 is fixed to the bottom of the protective lens 20, thus pulling the protective lens 20 to slide in the second slide groove 212. At the same time, the third spring 2... 13 will also be stretched. When the upper cover plate 12 and the lower cover plate 13 are completely closed, the protective lens 20 just moves to the position of the vision sensor lens and inserts into the opening slot plate 22, completely covering the vision sensor lens and protecting it. When the upper cover plate 12 needs to be opened, the upper cover plate 12 drives the second toothed plate 143 to move upward. Through the meshing of the first gear 141 and the first toothed plate 142, the mounting base plate 10 and other structures are reset. At this time, the third toothed plate 211 moves in the opposite direction, driving the second gear 217 to rotate in the opposite direction. The take-up reel 215 releases the pull rope 216. Under the elastic force of the third spring 213, the protective lens 20 will slide back to the initial position along the second slide groove 212 and no longer protect the vision sensor lens.
[0024] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
