Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a support and position adjustment flange for proximity sensor.
  • flanges comprising a body provided with a through cylindrical housing, this housing having to receive the housing of the proximity detector.
  • the wall of the housing is associated with screw clamping means which make it possible to maintain a front face for detecting the housing in an adjustable position along the axis of the housing. It is indeed necessary to adjust the detector housing so that its front face is located at an optimal distance from the object to be detected.
  • the flange body is fixed in a non-adjustable position on a mounting wall of a support by means of screws.
  • the position of the housing in the housing is initially adjusted, but, when the proximity sensor must be dismantled, for example to be replaced, it is necessary to start again to adjust the position of the front face of the new housing relative to the flange.
  • the object of the invention is to obviate this drawback, in a very simple manner and without modifying the structure of the proximity detector, by means of a support and adjustment flange which makes it possible to keep the initial setting of the detector.
  • an adjustable mounting flange for proximity sensor comprising a flange body separate from the detector housing and provided with a cylindrical housing of axis XX intended to receive said housing, means for tightening the housing with screws associated with the body. flange, these clamping means allowing the disassembly of the detector housing relative to the mounting flange, and fixing means provided on at least one lateral part of the flange body for fixing the latter on a flat mounting wall and parallel to the axis of the housing.
  • this flange is characterized in that the body of the flange is in one piece; the fixing means are arranged to allow adjustment of the flange body along the axis of the housing; the flange body has a rigid and thin web provided at a first end of the housing on at least part of the periphery thereof; and the veil serves as a stop for a detection face of the housing.
  • the proximity sensor housing is therefore initially inserted into the housing until the stop of its detection face against the web, then the clamping means are implemented and the adjustment of the axial position of the housing is effected by displacement axial of the flange body with respect to the mounting wall.
  • the fixing means may include wings provided with slots or oblong holes molded with the flange body.
  • the clamping means may have a flexible support element, also molded with the flange body.
  • the flange illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 is used to carry and position an inductive proximity detector 10.
  • the detector can, of course, be of another type.
  • This comprises a housing 11 of cylindrical shape with an X-X axis; the housing has a front detection face 12 and a rear face 13.
  • the cylindrical surface of the housing is threaded to allow another type of mounting by means of nuts on a wall perpendicular to the axis X-X.
  • a detector coil near the detection face and an electronic processing circuit connected to external, supply, control and signaling organs, via conductors 14.
  • the proximity detector is mounted by means of the flange 20 on a flat wall 15, parallel to the axis XX, and belonging for example to a plate or a sheet, to detect the presence and / or the distance of an object. target 16.
  • the flange 20 comprises a body 21 of molded insulating material provided with a cylindrical housing 22 of axis XX; it also includes means 23 for clamping the housing in the housing and fixing means 24 on the wall 15, these means allowing adjustment according to X-X of the position of the flange relative to the wall. The adjustment can, if necessary, be carried out in a direction perpendicular to the axis X-X.
  • the cylindrical housing 22 has, at its end situated on the side of the detection face 12 of the housing, a rigid abutment web 25, about 0.2 mm thick and directed radially towards the axis XX.
  • the stop veil extends over the periphery of the cylindrical housing and over a radial distance sufficient to ensure its rigidity.
  • the clamping means 23, preferably located near the other end of the housing, comprise a screw 26 with an axis perpendicular to the wall 15 and cooperating with a threaded hole 27 which is formed in a rigid wing 28 of the body 21.
  • the head of the screw 26 cooperates with a flexible wing 29 of the body, so that the screwing of the screw causes the wings to approach and thereby tighten the housing 11 of the detector in its housing.
  • the fixing means 24 comprise screws 30a, 30b with an axis parallel to that of the screw 26; the screws 30 are housed in oblong holes 31 of a lateral part or wing 32 of the body, the shape of the holes allowing movement of the flange along the axis X-X; the screws 30 cooperate with threaded orifices 33 of the wall 15. The screws are loosened during the initial adjustment operation, then remain tight after the adjustment. Note that the two screws 30a, 30b are located on the same side of a plane perpendicular to the wall 15 and containing the axis XX and are associated with the same wing 32 of the flange body, which prevents rotation of the flange during adjustment.
  • FIG. 3 shows a flange body 21 subdivided into a rigid part 21a comprising the abutment veil 25 and two fixing wings 32a, 32b each provided with an oblong orifice 31a, 31b, and a part 21b presenting the means tightening, in particular the rigid wing 28 and the flexible wing 29 with which the screw 26 is associated.
  • the body 21 also has two wings 32a, 32b; one of the fixing screws 30a is used to fix one of the wings 32a on the wall 15, while the other fixing screw 30b is used both to fix the other wing 32b on the wall and to tighten the housing 11 in his housing 22.
  • the web 25 is then provided on only part of the periphery of the housing.
  • the body 21 still has two wings 32a, 32b, but the tightening of the housing 11 in its housing is ensured by an elastic tongue 34 which extends substantially parallel to the axis XX and one of which end can be brought closer to it by the screw 26; the latter is housed in a transverse projection 35.
  • the flange illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 works as follows.
  • the housing 11 of the detector is introduced into the housing 22 by the second end of the latter until the detection face 12 of the housing is stopped by the web 25.
  • the housing 11 is then immobilized relative to the flange by tightening the screw 26.
  • the flange body 21 is adjusted along the axis XX to the optimum desired distance from the object 16, then is immobilized with respect to the wall 15 by tightening the screws 30.
