Title of Invention: Vibration detector adapted for use in a vibration measuring device
Abstract: A vibration detector includes a casing, a vibration sensor mounted within the casing, a magnet holder fastened to one end of the casing, the magnet holder holding a magnet for securing the casing to a metal device for detecting vibration, and a vibration probe used for transmitting vibration from a non-metal device to the casing, wherein the magnet holder has a coupling groove in front of the magnet; the vibration probe has a metal mounting block fixedly mounted on a rear end thereof for connection to the magnet holder, the metal mounting block having a coupling flange for engaging into the front coupling groove in the magnet holder, permitting the metal mounting block to be attracted by the magnet.
Detailed Description: Part PAC: DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Part PAR: Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, a vibration detector for a vibration measuring instrument in accordance with the present invention is generally comprised of a casing 1, a vibration sensor 11 mounted within the casing 1, a magnet holder 2 fastened to the casing 1 at one end, and a vibration probe 4 detachably secured to the magnet holder 2.
Part PAR_2: The magnet holder 2 has a front recessed hole 21, which holds a magnet 3, and a front coupling groove 22 in front of the front recessed hole 21. The vibration probe 4 has a rear end fixedly mounted with a metal mounting block 41. The mounting block 41 has a coupling flange 411 for engagement with the front coupling groove 22 of the magnet holder 2. By forcing the coupling flange 411 of the metal mounting block 41 into engagement with the front coupling groove 22 in the magnetic holder 2, the metal mounting block 41 is firmly secured to the magnet holder 2 and attracted by the magnet 3.
Part PAR_3: When the vibration probe 4 is removed from the magnet holder 2, the magnet holder 2 can be directly attached to the metal wall of a machine part or a piping, enabling the vibration sensor 11 to detect vibration. When detecting the vibration of a non-metal device, the probe 4 is used and secured to the magnet holder 2, enabling vibration waves to be transmitted from the detected device to the vibration sensor 11 through the vibration probe 4, the magnet holder 2 and the casing 1.
Part PAR_4: While only one embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described, it will be understood that various modifications and changes could be made thereunto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention disclosed.
