REMOVABLE COUPLING SYSTEMS FOR ROTATING SENSORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240027239 titled 'REMOVABLE COUPLING SYSTEMS FOR ROTATING SENSORS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and method for removable sensor coupling. The system includes a spring-loaded reel with a reel shaft that can be detachably connected to the sensor shaft of a rotating sensor. The sensor is designed to measure the rotation of the sensor shaft in response to the rotation of the spring-loaded reel via the reel shaft. The reel shaft has a lumen with a specific geometry, and the sensor shaft has a corresponding geometry to the lumen of the reel shaft. This ensures that when the sensor shaft is placed within the lumen of the reel shaft, it cannot rotate relative to the reel shaft. As a result, the sensor can be easily removed from the spring-loaded reel for inspection or repair without the need to disassemble the entire sensor coupling system.

  • The system includes a spring-loaded reel with a detachable reel shaft.
  • The reel shaft is connected to the sensor shaft of a rotating sensor.
  • The sensor measures the rotation of the sensor shaft in response to the rotation of the spring-loaded reel.
  • The reel shaft has a lumen with a specific geometry.
  • The sensor shaft has a corresponding geometry to the lumen of the reel shaft.
  • The sensor shaft cannot rotate relative to the reel shaft when placed within the lumen.
  • The sensor can be easily removed from the spring-loaded reel for inspection or repair without disassembling the entire system.

Potential Applications

  • Industrial machinery and equipment
  • Automotive systems
  • Robotics
  • Aerospace and aviation

Problems Solved

  • Simplifies the process of removing and inspecting the sensor without disassembling the entire system.
  • Reduces downtime and maintenance costs.
  • Facilitates quick and easy repairs or replacements of the sensor.

Benefits

  • Time and cost savings in maintenance and repair operations.
  • Increased efficiency in sensor inspection and replacement.
  • Minimizes the risk of damage to the sensor or other components during removal or reinstallation.


Original Abstract Submitted

removable sensor coupling systems and methods are provided. the system may include a spring-loaded reel having a reel shaft that may be removably coupled to the sensor shaft of a rotating sensor. the sensor may be configured to measure an amount of rotation of the sensor shaft responsive to rotation of the spring-loaded reel via the reel shaft. the reel shaft may have a lumen comprising a predefined geometry, and the sensor shaft may have a geometry corresponding to the predefined geometry of the lumen of the reel shaft such that, when disposed within the lumen of the reel shaft, the sensor shaft cannot rotate relative to the reel shaft. accordingly, the sensor may be removed from the spring-loaded reel for inspection and or repair without having to disassemble the entire sensor coupling system.
