In the process of using the existing photosensitive sensors, the glass lens may be blown crooked due to the air pressure difference caused by the inconsistent internal and external temperatures, that is, the so-called "exploded shell" phenomenon.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN217236827U discloses a photosensitive sensor, which includes a printed circuit board, a glass sheet, a photosensitive chip and a support member. The printed circuit board is formed with a groove, the groove includes a bottom and a first opening facing the bottom, the glass sheet is installed in the first opening, the glass sheet and the groove form a cavity, the bottom is formed with a through hole communicating with the cavity, the support member is disposed on one side of the through hole facing the cavity, and a ventilation groove is provided between the through hole and the support member, and the photosensitive chip is disposed on the support member.

[0004] The above patent sets a ventilation groove to balance the air pressure inside and outside the photosensitive sensor, and shields and sets a waterproof and breathable membrane on the ventilation groove to play the role that gas can pass through while water vapor cannot pass through. Since the application fields of photosensitive sensors are very wide, when the photosensitive sensor is used in an environment with relatively harsh working conditions, pollutants in the environment are extremely likely to adhere to the waterproof and breathable membrane, thereby causing the failure of the waterproof and breathable membrane. As a result, this design structure is greatly limited in actual use and does not have good versatility and practical functions. According to the above problems, the present invention is born. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a photosensitive sensor, which can balance the internal and external pressure differences and can be used in a harsh working condition environment, so that it has better versatility and practical functions.

[0006] The above technical purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A photosensitive sensor, including a housing with an inner cavity, a glass lens and a circuit board with a photosensitive chip, the housing is provided with a pressure balance hole communicating with the outside and the inner cavity, a partition plate is hermetically and slidably arranged on the pressure balance hole and the partition plate shields the pressure balance hole, and the glass lens and the circuit board are both located in the inner cavity and move with the partition plate.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the partition board cooperates with the sealing sliding structure to achieve the sealing isolation between the inner cavity and the outside world, so that pollutants in the external environment will not enter the inner cavity. When there is a pressure difference between the outside and the inner cavity, the sliding partition board is used to change the volume of the inner cavity to compensate for the formed internal and external pressure differences, so as to achieve the balance of the internal and external pressure differences. And it can be well applied in harsh working conditions, making it have better versatility and practical functions.

[0008] Further set as: A spacer sleeve for isolating the mating clearance between the outside world, the partition board and the pressure balance hole is hermetically connected between the outer wall of the housing and the side of the partition board facing away from the inner cavity, and the spacer sleeve can expand and contract along the sliding direction of the partition board.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the spacer sleeve realizes the isolation between the mating clearance between the partition board and the pressure balance hole and the outside world, avoiding the penetration of accumulated pollutants into the mating clearance between the partition board and the pressure balance hole, which affects the sealing effect at this position. And by setting the spacer sleeve into a telescopic structure, the setting of the spacer sleeve will not interfere with the movement of the partition board, ensuring the feasibility of the design structure.

[0010] Further set as: There is a detachable sealing assembly structure between one end of the spacer sleeve and the housing, which is hermetically and fixedly connected to the partition board at one end and the housing at the other end.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the convenient disassembly and assembly of the spacer sleeve and the housing are realized through this setting method, which is also convenient for the subsequent maintenance operation of the circuit board on the partition board.

[0012] Further set as: The sealing assembly structure includes an annular groove provided on the housing and surrounding the outer circle of the pressure balance hole, and an extrusion ring extending into the groove and tightly fitted and fixed with it. The spacer sleeve extends between the groove and the extrusion ring.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the spacer sleeve is inserted into the groove, and then the extrusion ring is driven in to tightly press and fix the spacer sleeve in the groove. This method is convenient for disassembly and assembly and has a low processing cost.

[0014] Further set as: The outer peripheral surface of the extrusion ring is an extrusion inclined surface extending along the direction of inserting the extrusion ring into the groove and gradually contracting inward. The side surface of the groove corresponding to the extrusion inclined surface is a mating inclined surface adapted to the extrusion inclined surface, and a pull ring is provided on the extrusion ring.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooperation between the extrusion inclined surface and the mating inclined surface can better guide the extrusion ring to extrude the spacer sleeve to improve the tightness of pressing; and by setting the extrusion inclined surface on the outer peripheral surface of the extrusion ring, it is convenient to install the spacer sleeve into the groove.

[0016] Further configured as: A plurality of sealing rings that move with the partition plate are provided between the pressure balance holes and the partition plate. The plurality of sealing rings are arranged at intervals along the movement direction of the partition plate. A guiding component for guiding the movement of the partition plate is provided between the partition plate and the outer shell.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of a plurality of sealing rings realizes multi-channel sealing, so as to ensure the permanent sealing performance of this position. And the provided guiding component is used to guide the movement of the partition plate, avoiding the sealing failure caused by the movement deviation of the partition plate, and ensuring the sealing stability of this structure.

[0018] Further configured as: The guiding component includes a plurality of guide sleeves fixedly arranged in the inner cavity and a plurality of guide posts fixedly arranged on the partition plate and extending into the guide sleeves. The plurality of guide posts are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of guide sleeves.

[0020] Further configured as: The outer shell includes a bottom shell, an upper shell, and a fixing structure for fixing the bottom shell and the upper shell.

The outer sealing component has a normal first sealing level and a second pressurized sealing level for cooperating with the external pressure. The inner sealing component has a normal first sealing level and a second pressurized sealing level for cooperating with the inner cavity pressure.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, in the normal state, the first sealing level formed by the provided outer sealing component and inner sealing component realizes the double-channel sealing between the bottom shell and the upper shell, ensuring the sealing performance of the assembly position of the outer shell. When the external pressure changes or the inner cavity pressure changes, the provided outer sealing component and inner sealing component can be switched to the second pressurized sealing level to achieve better sealing between the bottom shell and the upper shell, thereby improving the sealing reliability of this structure.

[0022] Further configured as: The outer sealing component includes an outer sealing ring on the upper shell, an outer closed driving cavity formed between the upper shell and the outer sealing ring, an outer elastic pressing piece arranged on the outer wall of the upper shell, and an outer pressurizing cavity formed between the upper shell and the outer elastic pressing piece.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, when the external pressure increases, the air pressure presses the outer elastic pressing piece and then compresses the formed outer pressurizing cavity, so that the air pressure in the outer pressurizing cavity is transmitted to the outer closed driving cavity to realize pressurization, thereby enhancing the pressing and sealing force of the outer sealing ring. And this setting structure magnifies the pressure transmission ratio and can achieve a stronger pressurizing effect on the outer closed driving cavity, thereby enhancing the sealing level.

[0024] Further configured as: the inner sealing assembly includes an inner sealing ring disposed on the bottom case, an inner closed driving cavity formed between the bottom case and the inner sealing ring, an inner elastic pressing piece disposed on the inner wall of the bottom case, and an inner pressing cavity formed between the bottom case and the inner elastic pressing piece, and the inner pressing cavity communicates with the inner closed driving cavity.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, when the internal cavity pressure increases, the air pressure presses the inner elastic pressing piece and then compresses the formed inner pressing cavity, so that the air pressure in the inner pressing cavity is transmitted to the inner closed driving cavity to achieve pressurization, thereby enhancing the pressing and sealing force of the inner sealing ring. And this set structure amplifies the pressure transmission ratio and can achieve a stronger pressurization effect on the inner closed driving cavity, thereby enhancing the sealing level.

[0026] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the present invention can balance the internal and external pressure differences and can be applied in harsh working conditions, making it have better versatility and practical functions.
