[0037] A fixing ring 5 is clamped between the reinforced structure sleeve 3 and the outer protective shell 2, and an inner closed shell 4 is clamped inside the reinforced structure sleeve 3, the inner closed shell 4 and the reinforced structure sleeve 3 being further fixed by sealing glue;

[0038] A plurality of positioning screws are connected between the inner closed shell 4 and the fixing ring 5, and compression springs are sleeved outside the positioning screws; a buffer pad ring matched with the vibration sensor body 1 is clamped on the inner wall of the inner closed shell 4.

[0039] A bottom sealing ring 6 covering the reinforced structure sleeve 3 and the inner closed shell 4 is clamped inside the outer protective shell 2, and the bottom sealing ring 6 and the outer protective shell 2 are fixed by sealing glue, an annular groove matched with the outer protective shell 2 is formed on the bottom sealing ring 6, and a sealing ring 7 located in the annular groove is connected between the outer protective shell 2 and the bottom sealing ring 6; a moisture sensor is embedded and mounted at the bottom sealing ring 6, and the moisture sensor can detect water seepage when water seeps in the annular groove.

[0040] A plurality of threaded positioning sleeves 8 are threadedly connected between the bottom sealing ring 6 and the inner closed shell 4, long screw rods 9 are inserted into the threaded positioning sleeves 8, snap rings 10 are threadedly connected to the long screw rods 9, and the long screw rods 9 and the snap rings 10 clamp the sealing ring 7;

[0052] The data acquisition module is used for continuously monitoring the working state of the waterproof and pressure-resistant vibration sensor, ensuring the real-time and accuracy of the data, and the moisture sensor and the vibration sensor body 1 are signal connected with the data acquisition module.
