Referring first to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic view of an overall structure of a photoelectric detection sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the photodetection sensor provided in the present embodiment mainly includes asubstrate 1, a firstlight avoiding body 2, and a secondlight avoiding body 3.
The upper surface of thesubstrate 1 is provided with afirst mounting position 11 and asecond mounting position 12, thefirst mounting position 11 is fixed with thelight emitting unit 100, and the second mounting position is fixed with the lightsignal receiving unit 200. As an example, thelight Emitting unit 100 may be an LED or a VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser), the chip structure may be Vertical or flip chip, and the chip structure may be an infrared Emitting chip or a green Emitting chip according to different applications, but is not limited to these types of chips, and those skilled in the art may select different bands and different types of chips according to actual applications, and this embodiment is not limited to this.

The shape of thesubstrate 1 can be flexibly adjusted as required. In addition, in the present embodiment, thesubstrate 1 may be a square or rectangular parallelepiped having a certain thickness, the upper surface and the lower surface are square or rectangular, that is, the upper surface and the lower surface of thesubstrate 1 are opposite, thelight emitting unit 100 and the lightsignal receiving unit 200 are disposed on the same surface of the substrate 1 (that is, on the same surface or on the same surface of the lower surface), and since the upper surface and the lower surface of thesubstrate 1 are opposite, disposing thelight emitting unit 100 and the lightsignal receiving unit 200 on the upper surface of thesubstrate 1 in the present embodiment does not mean limiting thelight emitting unit 100 and the lightsignal receiving unit 200 on a certain surface of thesubstrate 1, in other words, disposing thelight emitting unit 100 and the lightsignal receiving unit 200 on the same surface of thesubstrate 1 in the present embodiment is sufficient. It should be noted that thelight emitting unit 100 and the lightsignal receiving unit 200 of the present embodiment may be fixed on thesubstrate 1, that is, thelight emitting unit 100, the lightsignal receiving unit 200 and thesubstrate 1 are two separate components; in addition, thelight emitting unit 100 and the lightsignal receiving unit 200 of the present embodiment can also be directly covered inside thesubstrate 1, i.e. integrated with thesubstrate 1.
The first and secondlight avoiding bodies 2 and 3 are both disposed on thesubstrate 1.

In this embodiment, the functional materials that can be mixed in the first protective adhesive layer and the second protective adhesive layer are not limited to the above two materials, and those skilled in the art can flexibly select other functional materials according to the application requirements, which is not limited in this embodiment.
