BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the sensor housing assembly of the present invention; Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the pressure head structure of the present invention; Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the bushing press-fitting of the present invention; In the figure: 1-housing, 2-bushing, 3-sensing plate, 4-pressure head. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] like Figure 1As shown, the sensor housing assembly consists of a housing 1, a bushing 2 and a sensing piece 3. The housing 1 and the sensing piece 3 are made of austenitic stainless steel 1Cr18Ni9Ti, and the bushing 2 is made of iron-nickel-based soft magnetic alloy 1J79. Austenitic stainless steel 1Cr18Ni9Ti has excellent corrosion resistance. The iron-nickel-based soft magnetic alloy 1J79 is a magnetic material and should be subjected to magnetic annealing after machining to reduce the coercive force. The bushing 2 has an outer diameter of φ13.5mm and an inner diameter of φ10mm. The bushing 2 is installed in the inner hole of the housing 1 with a diameter of φ13.5mm, where the wall thickness is 0.5mm. The sensing piece 3 is welded to the inner hole of the housing 1 with a diameter of φ13.5mm. The upper end face of the sensing piece 3 abuts against the bushing 2, and the lower end face of the sensing piece 3 is flush with the lower end face of the housing 1.

[0020] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the pressure head 4 is a cylindrical structure with multiple diameters, with an outer diameter of φ10 mm and a length of 20 mm at the smallest part, an outer diameter of φ13.4 mm in the middle part, and a fillet of R1 at the lower end of the outer diameter of φ10 mm.

[0021] A processing method for processing a sensor housing 1 includes a pressure head 4, the pressure head 4 is a cylindrical structure with multiple diameters, the small end of the pressure head 4 can match the inner diameter of the bushing 2, and a press machine is used to apply pressure to the large end of the pressure head 4 to install the bushing 2 into the inner hole of the housing 1. The specific processing method is as follows: Step 1: Process the bushing 2, the sensor plate 3 and the pressure head 4. According to the size requirements of the bushing 2 and the pressure head 4, use mechanical processing to process the bushing 2, the sensor plate 3 and the pressure head 4 into finished products.

[0022] Step 2: Rough machining of the shell 1. Use a lathe to machine the inner hole and outer wall of the shell 1. The inner hole at the installation of the bushing 2 is machined to the size of the drawing, and the remaining parts are left with a finishing allowance to ensure the wall thickness at the installation hole of the bushing 2 to prevent deformation during machining.

[0023] Step three: press-fit the bushing 2. The inner hole of the bushing 2 is assembled with the φ10mm outer diameter of the pressure head 4. The upper end face of the bushing 2 is abutted against the end face at the step between the φ10mm outer diameter and the φ13.4mm outer diameter of the pressure head 4. The rough-machined shell 1 is placed vertically on the press workbench with the mounting hole of the bushing 2 facing upward. The pressure head 4 and the bushing 2 are vertically placed in the inner hole of the shell 1. Use the press to apply pressure to the large end of the pressure head 4. After the bushing 2 is press-fitted into the inner hole of the shell 1, the pressure head 4 is taken out. Using the pressure head 4 to press-fit the bushing 2 can prevent the bushing 2 and the shell 1 from deforming.

[0024] Step 4: boring the inner hole of the outer shell 1, and processing the inner hole of the press-fitted outer shell 1 to the final size.

[0025] Step 5: Laser welding. Install the sensor piece 3 to the φ10mm inner hole of the shell 1. The outer end surface is flush. Use laser welding equipment to weld the sensor piece 3 and the shell 1 into a shell assembly. Perform a sealing test on the weld. Input 0.6MP air pressure into the inner cavity of the shell assembly and keep it leak-proof for more than 1 minute.

[0026] Step 6: Magnetic annealing: heat the shell assembly to 1150°C in a vacuum environment, keep it warm for 2 hours, and naturally cool it to room temperature to reduce the coercive force generated during the processing of the bushing 2 and remove the stress generated during laser welding.

[0027] Step 7: Finishing of the shell 1: Use a lathe to process the shell 1, process the outer wall of the shell 1 to the final size, check each processing size, and ensure that the outer diameter size, surface roughness, etc. meet the requirements of the drawing.

[0028] Step 8: Surface passivation treatment: Use passivation liquid to scrub the outer surface of the shell component to form an oxide film on the surface of the shell component to improve the corrosion resistance.

[0029] In step 2, the wall thickness of the outer wall of the shell 1 is left with a finishing allowance of 0.5mm, and the hole wall thickness of the shell 1 where the bushing 2 is installed after rough processing is 1.3mm, which can prevent deformation when the bushing 2 is pressed; when processing the shell 1 in steps 2, 4 and 7, due to the high hardness of the shell 1 material, the cutting speed is preferably (50-100) m / min, the cutting depth is controlled at (0.1-0.3) mm, and the feed rate is not more than 1mm / r to ensure the surface quality of the processing. The vacuum environment in step 6 is preferably (5-10) Pa, and the passivation liquid ratio in step 8 is: 5% nitric acid, 95% water, and it is kept for 1 hour after scrubbing and then washed with water to ensure that an oxide film is formed on the surface of the shell component; the press in step 3 can be a manual press, which is convenient for the operator to observe and control the strength when pressing the bushing 2. The shell component processed by the above method has accurate size, good welding sealing and corrosion resistance, meets the design requirements of the drawings, and has a high qualified rate of processed products.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
