[0022] Please refer toFigures 2 to 12 A sensor device 100 provided by the present application can be integrated with various valve components, such as being separately installed on a valve body to form a valve assembly, or being integrated with an electronic expansion valve, a thermal expansion valve, a solenoid valve, etc. into a valve assembly. The sensor device 100 can be used to detect the pressure parameter and / or temperature parameter of the refrigerant, and of course, it can also be used to detect the pressure parameter and / or temperature parameter of other fluids.
[0023] The sensor device 100 of the present application includes a substrate assembly 1, a housing 3, and a first sealing structure 41.
[0024] The substrate assembly 1 includes a substrate body 11 and at least one sensing element 12. The sensing element 12 is used to directly or indirectly sense the pressure and / or temperature of the fluid. Specifically, the sensing element 12 has a sensing area. This sensing area can be in direct contact with the fluid or in indirect contact with the fluid to achieve the function of sensing relevant signals. The sensing element 12 can integrate both the pressure sensing function and the temperature sensing function, and even more sensing functions. Of course, the sensing element 12 can also separately implement only the sensing function of a certain signal among pressure and temperature.
[0025] The substrate body 11 has a first side 111 and a second side 112 respectively located on both sides of its thickness direction. The sensor device 100 can transmit signals to other external devices that receive or process temperature / pressure signals through a plurality of first conductive parts 10. The first conductive parts 10 are located on the side where the first side 111 of the substrate body 11 is located, and the sensing element 12 is located on the side where the second side 112 of the substrate body 11 is located.
[0026] The substrate body 11 includes a second conductive part 13. The second conductive part 13 includes a plurality of contact parts 131 located on the first side 111 and the second side 112 of the substrate body 11. The sensing element 12 is electrically connected to the contact parts 131 of the second conductive part 13 on the second side 112. Specifically, the sensing element 12 can be directly fixed to the second side 112 of the substrate body 11 and in contact with the contact parts 131.
[0027] The second conductive part 13 and the substrate body 11 form an integral structure. Refer to Figure 9 As shown, the substrate body 11 includes a plurality of second cavities 113. At least part of the second conductive part 13 is accommodated in the second cavities 113. And the second conductive part 13 is sealingly connected to the cavity walls of the second cavities 113 formed by the substrate body 11. The second conductive part 13 is in contact with the sensing element 12 and the first conductive part 10 respectively.
[0028] The sensor device 100 further includes a cover body 2. The cover body 2 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 201 penetrating the cover body 2, and at least a part of the first conductive portion 10 is received in the first through holes 201. In some embodiments, the cover body 2 abuts at least a part of the area of the first side surface 111 of the substrate body 11. The cover body 2 includes a main body portion 20 and a protruding portion 21 located on the periphery of the main body portion 20, and a plurality of first through holes 201 are all provided in the main body portion 20, so that the first through holes 201 penetrate through the main body portion 20.
[0029] The housing 3 is provided with a bottom wall portion 31 and a side wall portion 32. The bottom wall portion 31 is located on the side where the second side surface 111 of the substrate body 11 is located, and at least a part of the side wall portion 32 is located on the periphery of the substrate body 11. The first sealing structure 41 is located between the substrate body 11 and the housing 3 and the first sealing structure 41 is in contact with the substrate body 11 and the housing 3 respectively. The substrate body 11 and the housing 3 are hermetically fitted through the first sealing structure 41. The first sealing structure 41 can be an elastic sealing washer, or a sealant, or a solder structure that melts to achieve sealing, etc.
[0030] At least a part of the area of the bottom wall portion 31 can indirectly support the substrate body 11. The bottom wall portion 31 has a first cavity 310, and the first cavity 310 is at least partially opposite to the sensing area of the sensing element 12. The projection of the sensing area of the sensing element 12 in a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the substrate body 11 is at least partially within the projection range of the first cavity 310 in this plane. At least a part of the side wall portion 32 is located on the periphery of the substrate body 11. The side wall portion 32 can be integrally connected to the bottom wall portion 31 or the two are directly welded and fixed into an integral structure.
[0031] The side wall portion 32 is provided with a limiting convex portion 321. At least a part of the cover body 2 is closer to the substrate body 11 than the limiting convex portion 321. The projection of the limiting convex portion 321 in a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the substrate body 11 coincides at least partially with the projection of the cover body 11 in this plane. Specifically, the limiting convex portion 321 is located on the side of the protruding portion 21 away from the substrate body 11, and at least a part of the surface of the limiting convex portion 321 and the protruding portion 21 along the thickness direction of the substrate body 11 away from the first side surface 111 can be in contact to achieve limiting, that is, to limit the cover body 2 from moving away from the substrate body 11 along the thickness direction of the substrate body 11.
[0032] The bottom wall portion 31 of the housing 3 and the cover body 2 of the sensor device 100 are respectively located on both sides of the substrate body 11. The limiting protrusion 321 of the side wall portion 32 of the housing 3 limits the cover body 2 from moving away from the substrate body 11. This is beneficial to realizing the fixation among the substrate body 11, the housing 3 and the cover body 2, thereby correspondingly reducing the overall welding steps and lowering the processing and assembly complexity of the sensor device 100.
[0033] The side wall portion 32 includes a first wall segment 322 and a second wall segment 323. The first wall segment 322 is connected between the bottom wall portion 31 and the second wall segment 323. The second wall segment 323 is connected between the first wall segment 322 and the limiting convex portion 321. The side wall portion 32 is vertically arranged relative to the bottom wall portion 31 at both the first wall segment 322 and the second wall segment 323. The first wall segment 322 is located at the periphery of the substrate body 11, and the second wall segment 323 is located at the periphery of the protruding portion 21.
[0034] A specific assembly and molding process among the cover body 2, the substrate assembly 1, the first conductive portion 10, and the outer shell 3 is as follows: The side wall portion 32 first extends longitudinally while maintaining a vertical state, and the substrate assembly 1, the first conductive portion 10, and the cover body 2 are sequentially inserted into the cylindrical space surrounded by the side wall portion 32 and the bottom wall portion 31. At this time, the free end of the side wall portion 32 is bent inward by a tooling to form the limiting convex portion 321. Therefore, the cover body 1 can be stably installed relative to the substrate assembly 1 and is not easily dropped.
[0035] The wall thickness of the side wall portion 32 at the first wall segment 322 is greater than the wall thickness of the side wall portion 32 at the second wall segment 323. Thus, a support step 33 is formed at the connection between the first wall segment 322 and the second wall segment 323 of the side wall portion 32, and the protruding portion 21 of the cover body 2 is clamped and fixed between the support step 33 and the limiting convex portion 321.
[0036] The support step 33 has a support plane 331 that contacts the protruding portion 21. The thickness of the substrate body 11 is equal to the height of the support plane 331 relative to the bottom wall portion 31. Thus, the first side surface 111 of the substrate body 11 is flush with the support plane 331, and the substrate body 11 is clamped and fixed between the main body portion 20 of the cover body 2 and the bottom wall portion 31.
[0037] In other embodiments, the edge of the protruding portion 21 can be aligned with the edge of the substrate body 11, and the substrate body 11 and the protruding portion 21 are jointly clamped and fixed between the limiting convex portion 321 of the outer shell 3 and the bottom wall portion 31.
[0038] The substrate assembly 1 further includes a cover cylinder portion 14. At least a part of the cover cylinder portion 14 is located in the first cavity 310, so that at least a part of the cover cylinder portion 14 can be received in the first cavity 310. The cover cylinder portion 14 is disposed around the sensing element 12. The cover cylinder portion 14 and the substrate body 11 form a third cavity 141 for receiving the sensing element 12. The cover cylinder portion 14 itself can be a hollow cylindrical structure. When the cover cylinder portion 14 is connected to the substrate body 11, the substrate body 11 blocks one opening of the hollow structure of the cover cylinder portion 14, so that the cover cylinder portion 14 and the substrate body 11 jointly enclose the third cavity 141. The substrate assembly 1 further includes a fluorosilicone 15 filled in the third cavity 141. The fluorosilicone 15 coats the sensing element 12 so that the sensing element 12 does not directly contact the fluid. The inner side wall of the cover cylinder portion 14 can provide strong adhesion for the fluorosilicone 15. The fluorosilicone 15 coating the sensing element 12 makes the sensing element not directly contact the fluid. This can prevent the fluid from corroding the pins of the sensing element 12 and provide a certain buffer between the sensing element 12 and the fluid to protect the sensing element 12. The fluorosilicone 15 has a certain flexibility. When the sensing element 12 is used to measure the fluid pressure, when the fluid pressure acts on the fluorosilicone 15 first, the fluorosilicone 15 can then transfer the fluid pressure to the sensing element 12 for sensing the pressure. And the fluorosilicone 15 has better thermal conductivity than ordinary silicone materials. When the sensing element 12 is used to measure the fluid temperature, due to the presence of the fluorosilicone 15, the fluorosilicone 15 can improve the accuracy of the sensing element 12 in detecting the temperature signal.
[0039] The bottom wall portion 31 can be provided with a groove or a notch, and at least a part of the first sealing structure 41 is received in the groove or the notch. When the fluid temperature is relatively high, the first sealing structure 41 may be deformed. The groove or the notch positions the first sealing structure 41, which can improve the sealing effect of the first sealing structure 41. The first sealing structure 41 can be an elastic sealing gasket.
[0040] In some embodiments, the substrate body 11 is a PCB board. The second conductive portion 13 includes a metal connection portion 130 located in the second cavity 113, and contact portions 131 respectively located on both sides of the substrate body 11. The contact portions 131 can specifically be exposed metal pads located on the first side surface 111 and the second side surface 112. The metal connection portion 130 is in a hollow cylindrical shape, and the hollow part of the metal connection portion 130 forms a via hole of the PCB board. The metal connection portion 130 is connected to the metal pad. This is beneficial to realizing the electrical connection relationship between the components located on both sides in the thickness direction of the substrate body 11.
[0041] The substrate assembly 1 includes a first sensing element 121 and a second sensing element 122. Among them, the first sensing element 121 is a MEMS (Micro Electromechanical System) pressure integrated chip. The size of the MEMS pressure integrated chip is relatively small. The common product size of the MEMS pressure integrated chip is generally in the millimeter level or even smaller. The pressure sensor integrated chip prepared by the MEMS technology has a Wheatstone bridge with 4 resistors made on the surface of the silicon cup thin film. When connected to a circuit, when there is no pressure acting on the silicon cup thin film, the Wheatstone bridge is balanced and the output voltage is 0. When there is pressure acting on the silicon cup thin film, the balance of the Wheatstone bridge is broken and a voltage is output. Therefore, by detecting the change of the electrical signal in the circuit, the change of the pressure can be reflected, so as to realize the pressure detection function.
[0042] The second sensing element 122 is a surface-mounted thermistor. The resistance of the thermistor-type temperature sensor decreases as the temperature increases. The size of the temperature sensor corresponding to the surface-mounted thermistor is relatively small, and some products are about 1.0 mm × 0.5 mm in size.
[0043] The sensor device 100 made of the above-mentioned first sensing element 121 and second sensing element 122 is more conducive to the miniaturization of the product. The MEMS pressure integrated chip and the surface-mounted thermistor are respectively welded and fixed to the metal pad 131 based on their respective pins. In some embodiments, the substrate assembly 1 may further include a conditioning chip 123, whose function is to perform processing such as denoising, signal amplification, and signal compensation on the pressure signal or temperature signal to improve the quality of the signal. The related functions of the above-described MEMS pressure integrated chip, surface-mounted thermistor, and conditioning chip and other components are all correspondingly disclosed in the prior art, and the present application will not elaborate on the functions of each component too much.
[0044] The top surface of the main body 20 of the cover 2 away from the first side surface 111 is higher than the top surface of the protruding portion 21 away from the first side surface 111. The cover 2 is in contact with at least a partial area of the first side surface 111 of the substrate body 11. The orifice size of the first through hole 201 on the side of the cover 2 close to the substrate body 11 is larger than the orifice size on the side away from the substrate body 11. In some embodiments, in the direction away from the substrate body 11 along the axis of the first through hole 201, the first through hole 201 is a tapered hole with a gradually decreasing aperture, and the first conductive portion 10 is a tapered spring adapted to the aperture of the first through hole 201. Refer to Figure 3 , the embodiment of the present application provides five first conductive portions 10 in the form of tapered springs. The functions of these five first conductive portions 10 are respectively used to provide a temperature signal output point, a pressure signal output point, a protection ground output point, an input voltage position, and a ground position.
[0045] The first conductive part 10 includes a first sub-part 101 located within the first through-hole 201 and a second sub-part 102 connected to the side of the first sub-part 101 away from the substrate body 11. The second sub-part 102 is located outside the first through-hole 201. The first sub-part 101 abuts or is welded to the metal pad 131 on the first side surface 111 of the substrate body 11. The end of the second sub-part 102 exposed outside the first through-hole 201 can abut or be welded to an external circuit board. When the first conductive part 10 in the shape of a conical spring is working, it can be in a compressed state, which is beneficial to improving the connection stability between the first conductive part 10 and the substrate body 11 and with the external circuit board.
[0046] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application also provides a valve assembly 200, which includes a valve body 60 and the sensor device 100 in the foregoing embodiment. The sensor device 100 is fixedly connected to the valve body 60. The valve body 60 is provided with a first channel 601 for fluid flow. The sensing element 12 can directly or indirectly sense the pressure signal and / or temperature signal of the fluid in the first channel 601.
[0047] Take Figures 10 to 12 the sensor device 100 in [[]] as an example and set it on the valve body 60 for illustration. The valve body 60 has a central axis along the first direction (i.e., Figure 12 the lateral direction shown in [[]]). In some embodiments of the present application, a valve assembly 200 is also provided. The valve assembly 200 further includes a flow rate adjustment unit 300. The valve body 60 is further provided with a second channel 602. The flow rate adjustment unit 300 is fixedly connected to the valve body 60, and the flow rate adjustment unit 300 can adjust the flow rate of the second channel 602. The second channel 602 is not communicated with the first channel 601.
[0048] The flow rate adjustment unit 300 can specifically be an electronic expansion valve. The flow rate adjustment unit 300 includes a coil assembly 301 and a valve component 302, etc. The coil assembly 301 includes a stator coil. The valve component 302 includes a valve seat, a valve core, and a rotor assembly. The valve seat is fixed to the valve body 60, and the stator coil is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotor assembly. The rotor assembly can drive the valve core to move, so that the valve core can move relative to the valve seat. The valve seat has a valve port. The valve core changes the flow cross-sectional area of the second channel 602 at the valve port by approaching and moving away from the valve port, and thus can form a throttle at the valve port. The valve body 60 has a first cavity 601, and the sensor device 100 is at least partially accommodated in the first cavity 603. An installation part 604 is formed on the cavity wall of the valve body 60 corresponding to the first cavity 603. A second sealing part 42 is provided between the bottom wall part 31 and the installation part 604, and the second sealing part 42 is pressed between the bottom wall part 31 and the installation part 604.
[0049] The valve assembly 200 further includes a compression nut 400. A part of the bottom wall portion 31 protrudes radially outward relative to the side wall portion 32, and the protruding part cooperates with the compression nut 400. The compression nut 400 is pressed against the side of the bottom wall portion 31 away from the mounting portion 604. The outer periphery of the compression nut 400 is threadedly connected to the valve body 60 to fix the sensor device 100 and the valve body 60 together.
[0050] Reference Figure 12 , the first channel 601 includes a first sub-channel 6011 and a second sub-channel 6012 that intersect axially. One of the openings formed in the valve body 60 on both axial sides of the second sub-channel 6012 serves as a fluid inlet, and the other serves as a fluid outlet. The axial direction of the first sub-channel 6011 and the axial direction of the second sub-channel 6012 can be set perpendicular to each other.
[0051] First openings 71 and second openings 72 are respectively formed in the valve body 60 on both axial sides of the first sub-channel 6011. Among them, the first sub-channel 6011 communicates with the second sub-channel 6012 through the first opening 71. The second opening 72 of the first sub-channel 6011 faces the sensing element 12, and the size of the first opening 71 is larger than the size of the second opening 72. Correspondingly, the bottom end surface of the bottom wall portion 31 can be set as a plane. The bottom wall portion 31 is arranged at the second opening 71, and the first cavity 310 or the through hole 141 can communicate with the first sub-channel 6011. The first opening 71 at the lower end of the first sub-channel 6011 forms a flared opening relative to the second opening 72 at the upper end. When the fluid enters the first channel 601 from the port at one end of the second sub-channel 6012, at the flared opening position, the high-speed flowing fluid can reach the vicinity of the sensing element 12 more quickly through the flared opening. This is beneficial to reducing the temperature difference of the fluid reaching the vicinity of the sensing element 12 and improving the accuracy of the sensing element 12 in sensing the fluid temperature.
