[0002] Since the advent of the self-linear carbon film linear displacement sensor, due to the unique structure of the product, the pull rod needs to pass through the back cover to connect with the sliding core in the housing. During operation, the pull rod moves back and forth relative to the back cover or housing, resulting in poor sealing performance. It is only suitable for use in relatively mild environments. By integrating with industrial control systems, it can directly display various data monitoring of mechanical linear motion and issue operating instructions. However, in actual applications, there are many special and harsh environments that are not suitable for relatively mild environments, such as chemical liquids, deep in rivers and oceans, and in environments with flammable and explosive materials, oil pollution, wind and dust, etc., where the protection level of existing self-linear carbon film linear displacement sensors cannot be effectively guaranteed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention is a synchronous linkage carbon film linear displacement sensor with waterproof performance, including a housing 21, a sealing plug, a back cover 4, a front cover 18, a circuit board assembly, an output line assembly, a strong magnet slider A assembly and a strong magnet slider B assembly.

[0020] Housing 21 is an aluminum tube, but can also be made of other non-magnetic metals. Except for the upper grooves on both sides, housing 21 is identical to the housings of existing carbon film linear displacement sensors. A mounting groove for the carbon film plate 22 is located in the lower portion of the inner cavity of housing 21, and a groove for the sliding core sheath 23 is located in the middle.

[0021] The powerful magnet slider assembly A includes a guide block 13, a wear-resistant plastic mounting seat B7, and a powerful magnet B6. The powerful magnet B6 is mounted within the wear-resistant plastic mounting seat B7, which is in turn mounted within the guide block 13. Guide block 13 is flanked by matching sliders, which form a sliding connection with the upper slide grooves on both sides of the housing 21. The powerful magnet A10 consists of six magnet blocks, each with identical poles at both ends and opposite or alternating poles in the middle. The powerful magnet slider assembly A is mounted to the exterior of the housing 21 via a sliding connection.

[0022] The powerful magnet A10 is composed of six rectangular strong permanent magnets, arranged in sequence, with their pole faces aligned in the same plane. The six rectangular strong permanent magnets are arranged in the order S1N2S3S4N5S6, pressed into a wear-resistant plastic mounting base A15, and then sealed with epoxy resin and secured within the guide block 13.

[0023] The guide block 13 is provided with a connecting mechanism. This mechanism includes a connecting seat mounted on the guide block 13, a curved rod ball 12 mounted on the connecting seat, a small tie rod 11 connected to the curved rod ball 12, and an inner fish eye 8 connected to the small tie rod 11. The inner fish eye 8, small tie rod 11, and curved rod ball 12 are assembled via threaded connections. The connecting seat is a cylindrical seat with a through hole. The curved rod ball 12 passes through the connecting seat and penetrates into the guide block 13, where it is secured by a nut 14.

[0024] The powerful magnet slider B assembly is installed in the housing 21. The powerful magnet slider B assembly includes a powerful magnet A10, a wear-resistant plastic mounting seat A15, a sliding core bracket 9, four sliding core sleeves 23, and a brush 24. The powerful magnet A10 is installed in the wear-resistant plastic mounting seat A15, and the wear-resistant plastic mounting seat B7 is installed on the sliding core bracket 9. The powerful magnet B6 is composed of four rectangular powerful permanent magnet blocks, which are assembled in sequence. The magnetic pole faces of the powerful permanent magnet blocks are located on the same plane. The powerful permanent magnet blocks at both ends have the same magnetic poles and are opposite to the magnetic poles in the middle. Except for the S-pole magnet blocks at the two ends of the powerful magnet A10, the powerful permanent magnet block in the middle has the same number of powerful permanent magnet blocks as the powerful magnet B6, but with opposite magnetic pole directions. First, hot-melt the brush 24 onto the sliding core bracket 9 with glue nails, then insert the four sliding core sleeves 23 into the corresponding positions of the sliding core bracket 9 respectively, and then arrange the strong magnet group B6 in the order of S1N2S3N4, press it into the wear-resistant plastic mounting seat B7, and seal it into the assembled sliding core bracket 9 with glue.

[0025] The circuit board assembly includes a carbon film board 22, a conductive elastic clip 25, and a shielding wire 2. The carbon film board 22 is installed in the mounting groove of the housing 21, and the conductive elastic clip 25 is fixed to the carbon film board 22. The carbon film board 28 is installed inside the aluminum tube 21 and fixed under the rubber strip lining, with one end fixed with glue.

[0026] The sealing plug includes a front upper plastic sealing plug 16 and a front lower plastic sealing plug 20 at the front end of the housing 21, and a front sealing gasket 19. The front cover 18 is then fixed to the front end of the housing 21 using front locking screws 17. At the rear end of the housing 21, the rear plastic sealing plug 26 and the rear sealing gasket 5 are fixed to the rear end of the housing 21 using rear locking screws 3.

[0027] The output cable assembly includes a waterproof connector 1, a shielded cable 2, and a conductive elastic clip 25. The waterproof connector 1 is installed in the waterproof connector mounting hole 28 in the center of the rear cover 4. The three-core shielded cable 2 is installed in the waterproof connector 1 and soldered to the conductive elastic clip 25 as required. A cable outlet hole 27 is provided on the rear sealing gasket 5.

[0028] The present invention utilizes an external magnet to drag the magnet inside the fully sealed aluminum profile to achieve absolute synchronous movement. The internal magnet is installed in the center hole of the sliding bracket. The brush installed on the sliding bracket and the linear carbon film circuit board inside the fully sealed aluminum profile form a synchronous linkage carbon film linear displacement sensor with high sealing performance.

[0029] The steps for assembling the finished product of the present invention are as follows:

[0030] 1. Install the strong magnet slider B assembly into the housing 21 and circuit board assembly using a lining (to protect the brushes from damage);

[0031] 2. Install the corresponding slot of the output line assembly directly into the conductive silver film end of the line board;

[0032] 3. Pass the shielded wire 2 through the outlet hole 27. Use a clamp to push the front plastic sealing upper plug 16 and the front plastic sealing lower plug 20, as well as the rear plastic sealing plug 26 at both ends of the housing 21 into the housing 21 and seal them all with glue.

[0033] 4. Install the front gasket 19 and the front cover 18 into the housing 21 in sequence and secure them with the front locking screws 17;

[0034] 5. Pass the rear sealing gasket 5 and the rear cover 4 through the shielded wire 2 in sequence, and secure them with the rear locking screws 3;
