Therefore, the present application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, in the first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a mask mold 1, which includes a rigid shaft 11 and multiple circular ring sleeves 12, and is used to form a platinum electrode on the inner wall of a target circular tube 2, which can reduce the difficulty of forming the platinum electrode and ensure the uniformity and stability of the platinum electrode after forming.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, as a carrier of the platinum electrode, the target circular tube 2 is a cylindrical tube with two open ends and a hollow concentric circular cross-section. The inner and outer wall surfaces of the target circular tube 2 are cylindrical surfaces. The target circular tube 2 is provided with a plurality of circular grooves 21 and a plurality of through holes 22. The plurality of circular grooves 21 are sequentially spaced along the axial direction of the target circular tube 2 on the inner wall of the target circular tube 2. There is a gap between two adjacent circular grooves 21 and they are independent of each other, so that a platinum ring electrode with a circular ring structure can be correspondingly arranged in each circular groove 21. The plurality of through holes 22 and the plurality of circular grooves 21 are equal in number and are connected one-to-one. For example, when there are seven circular grooves 21 on the target circular tube 2, the target circular tube 2 is correspondingly provided with seven through holes 22. The number of the annular grooves 21 can be determined according to actual needs, based on the number of required platinum ring electrodes, and is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. When the target circular tube 2 is used as the conductivity cell tube substrate of a seven-electrode conductivity sensor, seven annular grooves 21 can be provided on the target circular tube 2.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the rigid shaft body 11 is provided with a plurality of cylindrical flange portions 111. The plurality of cylindrical flange portions 111 are sequentially spaced apart along the axial direction of the rigid shaft body 11. The cylindrical flange portions 111 are formed as protrusions on the outer circumferential surface of the rigid shaft body 11, and any two cylindrical flange portions 111 are spaced apart and do not contact each other. The number of cylindrical flange portions 111 can be determined based on the number of annular grooves 21 of the target circular tube 2. In some embodiments, the number of cylindrical flange portions 111 can be the number of annular grooves 21 plus one. For example, when the target circular tube 2 is provided with seven annular grooves 21, the rigid shaft body 11 can be provided with eight cylindrical flange portions 111. Any two cylindrical flange portions 111 can have the same or different outer diameters, which is not limited in the present embodiment. In some embodiments, the plurality of cylindrical flange portions 111 can have the same outer diameter.

[0029] The number of the aforementioned multiple annular sleeves 12 and the multiple cylindrical flange portions 111 is equal and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence; for example, when eight cylindrical flange portions 111 are provided on the rigid shaft 11, the mask mold 1 may include eight annular sleeves 12. Here, each annular sleeve 12 is respectively sleeved on its corresponding cylindrical flange portion 111, specifically sleeved on the cylindrical surface of the cylindrical flange portion 111, so that the cylindrical surface of the cylindrical flange portion 111 is tightly wrapped by the annular sleeve 12. Here, the fixing method between the annular sleeve 12 and the cylindrical flange portion 111 can be determined according to actual needs, and can adopt fixing methods such as bonding, elastic deformation sleeve connection, etc., which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0030] When the mask mold 1 is embedded in the target circular tube 2, the central axis of the rigid shaft 11 is parallel to or coincides with the central axis of the target circular tube 2; the plurality of annular sleeves 12 and the plurality of annular grooves 21 are alternately distributed along the axial direction of the target circular tube 2, such that there is an annular sleeve 12 between any two adjacent annular grooves 21. Here, the plurality of annular sleeves 12 can be configured as follows: at a first temperature, such as room temperature, the annular sleeves 12 and the inner wall of the target circular tube 2, specifically the area on the inner wall without the annular grooves 21, are clearance-fitted, making it easy for the mask mold 1 to be engaged with or removed from the target circular tube 2 under the first temperature condition; and at a predetermined deposition temperature, the annular sleeves 12 thermally expand and form an interference fit with the inner wall of the target circular tube 2, specifically the area on the inner wall without the annular grooves 21, so that the annular sleeves 12 and the target circular tube 2 are engaged and fixed, thereby sealing and isolating each annular groove 21 and shielding the area on the inner wall of the target circular tube 2 without the annular grooves 21; here, the first temperature is lower than the predetermined deposition temperature. Thus, under the preset deposition temperature conditions, the area on the inner wall of the target circular tube 2 that is not provided with the annular groove 21 is shielded by the mask mold 1, leaving only the aforementioned multiple annular grooves 21 exposed, so that platinum layers can be deposited in each of the multiple annular grooves 21. Here, the preset deposition temperature can be determined based on the ambient temperature required for the actual deposition process, and this embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

[0031] When using the mask mold 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application to form a platinum electrode in the target circular tube 2, a gaseous precursor can be pulsed and alternately introduced into the multiple annular grooves 21 through the multiple through holes 22 on the target circular tube 2. The gaseous precursor reacts on the surface of the annular groove 21 to deposit a platinum atomic film layer by layer, and finally a platinum atomic deposition layer and a platinum ring electrode of the desired thickness are obtained. Compared with the related art, using the mask mold 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the area on the inner wall of the target circular tube 2 where the annular groove 21 is not provided can be masked at a preset deposition temperature, so that the atomic layer deposition process only occurs in each annular groove 21, making it easy to form platinum ring electrodes in the multiple annular grooves 21 in the target circular tube 2, and the formed platinum ring electrodes have better uniformity and stability.

[0032] In certain embodiments, at a preset deposition temperature, the two end edges along its axial direction on the annular groove 21 can be flush with the edge portions of adjacent two annular sleeves 12 respectively. Here, the axial direction of the annular groove 21 is consistent with the axial direction of the target circular pipe 2. Specifically, the one end edge along its axial direction on the annular groove 21 can be flush with one end edge portion of an annular sleeve 12, and the other end edge along its axial direction on the annular groove 21 can be flush with one end edge portion of another annular sleeve 12, and the two annular sleeves 12 are adjacently arranged. Because the annular sleeve 12 can undergo thermal expansion at a preset deposition temperature, the region that is not provided with the annular groove 21 on the inner wall of the target circular pipe 2 is interference-connected accordingly, in combination with the above-mentioned flush arrangement relationship, the region that is not provided with the annular groove 21 on the inner wall of the target circular pipe 2 is just covered by the mask mold 1, and the notch of the annular groove 21 can not be blocked, thereby ensuring a better deposition effect.

[0033] In other embodiments, the annular groove 21 can be blocked by the edge of two adjacent annular sleeves 12 along its axial direction. Specifically, the annular groove 21 can be blocked by an end edge of an annular sleeve 12 along its axial direction, and the annular groove 21 can be blocked by an end edge of another annular sleeve 12 along its axial direction. The two annular sleeves 12 are arranged adjacently. Because the annular sleeve 12 can undergo thermal expansion at a preset deposition temperature, the region where the annular groove 21 is not provided with on the inner wall of the target circular tube 2 is interference-connected accordingly, in combination with the above-mentioned blocking arrangement, the region where the annular groove 21 is not provided on the inner wall of the target circular tube 2 is completely covered by the mask mold 1, can not be locally exposed due to possible errors, and ensure better deposition effect and deposition accuracy. In some examples, at the first temperature, the axial end edges of the annular groove 21 can be flush with the edges of the two adjacent annular sleeves 12 , respectively; thus, the above-mentioned shielding setting relationship at the preset deposition temperature can be better ensured.

[0034] In some embodiments, two annular ribs 121 may be provided on a surface of the annular sleeve 12 on a side away from the cylindrical flange portion 111. The two annular ribs 121 may be disposed at opposite ends of the annular sleeve 12 along its axial direction. Here, the axial direction of the annular sleeve 12 coincides with the axial direction of the rigid shaft 11. Here, at a predetermined deposition temperature, the two annular ribs 121 may each be elastically deformed to form an interference fit with the target circular tube 2. In some examples, the area of ​​the annular sleeve 12 between the two annular ribs 121 may be clearance-fitted with the target circular tube 2. By setting as above, a certain deformation space can be provided for the two circular convex ribs 121, so that the circular convex ribs 121 can be elastically deformed more fully at the preset deposition temperature to form a reliable interference seal with the target circular tube 2, thereby avoiding accidental displacement of the mask mold 1 due to insufficient interference effect between the circular convex rib 121 and the target circular tube 2, thereby ensuring the fitting reliability and position stability of the mask mold 1 in the target circular tube 2, thereby ensuring the uniformity, stability and molding accuracy of the formed platinum ring electrode.

[0035] In some examples, at a preset deposition temperature, an edge portion of the annular convex rib 121, specifically an edge portion of the annular convex rib 121 away from the other annular convex rib 121, can be flush with an edge portion of one end of the annular groove 21, and the two annular convex ribs 121 are located on the same annular sleeve 12. In other examples, at a preset deposition temperature, an edge portion of the annular convex rib 121, specifically an edge portion of the annular convex rib 121 away from the other annular convex rib 121, can block an edge portion of the annular groove 21, and the two annular convex ribs 121 are located on the same annular sleeve 12; illustratively, at a first temperature, an edge portion of the annular convex rib 121, specifically an edge portion of the annular convex rib 121 away from the other annular convex rib 121, can be flush with an edge portion of one end of the annular groove 21, and the two annular convex ribs 121 are located on the same annular sleeve 12.

[0036] In some embodiments, the mask mold 1 may be provided with an embedding depth indicator. When the plurality of annular sleeves 12 and the plurality of annular grooves 21 are alternately distributed along the axial direction of the target circular tube 2, the embedding depth indicator is flush with the end surface of the target circular tube 2. This arrangement allows the operator to easily control the fitting depth between the mask mold 1 and the target circular tube 2, thereby increasing the alignment accuracy of the mask mold 1 and the target circular tube 2.

[0037] The material of the annular sleeve 12 can be determined based on actual needs and is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the annular sleeve 12 is an elastic sleeve made of an elastic material with excellent elastic deformation ability. The type of elastic material can be determined based on actual needs, and can include, for example, elastic silicone, elastic rubber, etc., and is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. Here, at a preset temperature, the elastic sleeve can be thermally expanded to a preset size to achieve a reliable interference fit with the inner wall of the target circular tube 2.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for forming a platinum electrode in a tube, and the method for forming a platinum electrode in a tube includes S10 to S30.

[0039] S10: Provide a target tube 2 and a mask mold 1 according to any of the above embodiments. The material of the target tube 2 can be determined based on actual needs and is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the target tube 2 is a sapphire tube made of sapphire. Sapphire has advantages such as good machinability and high pressure resistance, and its thermal expansion coefficient is roughly consistent with that of platinum metal, allowing platinum metal to be well deposited on the sapphire tube.

[0040] S20: The mask mold 1 is inserted into the target circular tube 2 at a first temperature, with the plurality of annular sleeves 12 and the plurality of annular grooves 21 alternately distributed along the axial direction of the target circular tube 2. At this point, the plurality of annular sleeves 12 maintain a clearance fit with the inner wall of the target circular tube 2. The first temperature can be determined based on actual needs, such as room temperature or another preset temperature, and is not limited in this embodiment.

[0041] S30: Raising the ambient temperature to a predetermined deposition temperature, and alternately introducing a gaseous precursor into the plurality of annular grooves 21 through the plurality of through-holes 22 in a pulsed manner, thereby depositing a platinum atomic film layer by layer within the plurality of annular grooves 21 to form the platinum electrodes within the tube. In some embodiments, the deposition process may be an atomic layer deposition process.

[0042] The preset deposition temperature can be determined based on the ambient temperature required for the actual deposition process, and is not limited in the present embodiment. In some embodiments, the preset deposition temperature can be 180-220°C, for example, 180°C, 190°C, 195°C, 200°C, 205°C, 210°C, or 220°C. Within this temperature range, platinum atoms can be well deposited layer by layer on the surface of the annular groove 21, and the platinum ring electrode has better uniformity and stability.

[0043] In a third aspect, embodiments of the present application provide a conductivity sensor comprising a conductivity cell tube having a plurality of platinum electrodes disposed on the inner wall thereof. The plurality of platinum electrodes are manufactured using the platinum electrode-in-tube forming method described in any of the above embodiments.
