Ultrasonic proximity sensors are non-contact sensing devices that detect the presence and distance of objects by using high-frequency ultrasonic waves. These sensors operate based on the principle that ultrasonic waves, upon encountering an object, reflect back to the sensor. By measuring the time difference between the emission and reception of the ultrasonic signal, the distance to the object can be accurately calculated. Featuring high sensitivity, strong anti-interference capability, and precise distance measurement, ultrasonic proximity sensors are widely used in industrial automation, robotic navigation, safety systems, intelligent transportation, and logistics. With the advancement of smart manufacturing and the Internet of Things (IoT), these sensors are evolving toward miniaturization, integration, and low power consumption. They have become essential components in enabling smart perception and automatic response in devices. Driven by Industry 4.0 and the rise of intelligent terminals, the demand for ultrasonic proximity sensors is steadily increasing, gradually replacing some traditional contact-based sensing solutions and becoming a core technology in modern sensing systems.
