Patent number: 11175433Abstract: The present invention maintains sealing of the housing over a long period of time. A multiple-optical-axis photoelectric sensor (100) includes a light projector (110) and a light receiver (120) whose external forms are each formed by a housing (1) including an outer case (10) constituted by a main body case (11) and a first cap member (12), a light-transmitting plate (15), a first pressing member (20A), second pressing members (20B), a first adhesive tape (17A), and second adhesive tapes (17B). The first cap member (12) has a supporting part (12a) provided on its inner side, and an elastic member (18) is provided between the second pressing member (20B) and a portion of the light-transmitting plate (15) supported by the supporting part (12a). The light-transmitting plate (15) is pressed toward the first cap member (12) via the elastic member (18).Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2019Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: OMRON CORPORATIONInventors: Shunkichi Sasaki, Nobuchika Takiguchi, Satoshi Nishiuchi, Keisaku Kikuchi

Patent number: 11041975Abstract: The present invention achieves a multiple-optical-axis photoelectric sensor which can be assembled with reduced effort. A multiple-optical-axis photoelectric sensor (100) includes a light projector (110) and a light receiver (120) each having an outer shape defined by a housing (1) including: an outer case (10); a light-transmitting plate (15); and a pressing member (20). Supporting parts (11b) are provided at respective inner surfaces of side plates of the outer case. Extending parts (11c) are provided at end parts of the corresponding side plates. The pressing member is configured to press the light-transmitting plate against the supporting parts by being attached to the respective extending parts.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2019Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Satoshi Nishiuchi, Shunkichi Sasaki, Nobuchika Takiguchi, Keisaku Kikuchi
