DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following is a further non-limiting detailed description of the technical solution of the utility model in conjunction with the preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides a technical solution: an assembled concentration measurement sensor module, including a module assembly 1, a printed circuit board assembly 2 and an ultrasonic chip 3. The printed circuit board assembly 2 is connected to the ultrasonic chip 3 by welding to realize electrical signal connection, and the module assembly 1 wraps and protects the printed circuit board assembly 2 and the ultrasonic chip 3.

[0024] The module assembly 1 includes an upper cover 11, a structural groove 111, a buckle 112, a lower cover 12, a slot 121 and an interference rib 122. The upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12 can be buckled into a whole, and a printed circuit board assembly 2 and an ultrasonic chip 3 are installed between the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12. The printed circuit board assembly 2 and the ultrasonic chip 3 are wrapped by the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12, and the printed circuit board assembly 2 and the ultrasonic chip 3 are protected when the sensor is plugged in to prevent them from being damaged by external forces.

[0025] The upper cover 11 is configured as a hollow cylindrical structure, and a structural groove 111 matching the shape of the printed circuit board portion 21 is provided on its top. When the printed circuit board assembly 2 is placed inside, the connector 211 on the top of the printed circuit board portion 21 can still maintain normal plug-in functions. Two groups of buckles 112 are provided along the circumferential direction at the bottom of the upper cover 11. The two groups of buckles 112 are symmetrically arranged about the axis of the upper cover 11 and protrude outward from the side wall of the upper cover 11. The upper cover 11 can be buckled with the lower cover 12 through the two groups of buckles 112, thereby being connected to the lower cover 12 as a whole.

[0026] The lower cover 12 is set as a cylindrical structure with a size matching that of the upper cover 11, and its top diameter is larger than the bottom diameter, so as to facilitate snap connection with the upper cover 11, and at the same time ensure that its internal space can be used to place the printed circuit board assembly 2 and the ultrasonic chip 3. Two groups of card slots 121 are set along the circumferential direction at the top of the lower cover 12. The two groups of card slots 121 are symmetrically arranged about the axis position of the lower cover 12, and the shape is adapted to the card buckle 112. The connection between the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12 can be achieved by inserting the two groups of card buckles 112 into the two groups of card slots 121 respectively. Four groups of interference ribs 122 are set along the circumferential direction at the bottom of the lower cover 12. The four groups of interference ribs 122 are symmetrically arranged about the axis position of the lower cover 12, and are arranged on the inner side wall of the bottom of the lower cover 12 in the vertical direction. The provision of four groups of interference ribs 122 can ensure that when the ultrasonic chip 3 is placed at the bottom of the lower cover 12, it cooperates with the side wall of the ultrasonic chip 3 to press the ultrasonic chip 3 tightly to prevent loosening during subsequent use.

[0027] The printed circuit board assembly 2 includes a printed circuit board portion 21, a connector 211, a chip thermistor 212, a flexible circuit board 22, a first welding piece 221, a second welding piece 222, a connecting piece 223 and a rubber plug 23. The printed circuit board assembly 2 includes a printed circuit board portion 21 and a flexible circuit board 22 connected by welding, and a rubber plug 23 installed between the printed circuit board portion 21 and the flexible circuit board 22. The printed circuit board portion 21 and the flexible circuit board 22 are connected by welding to realize electrical signal connection, and the rubber plug 23 is arranged between the two as a shock absorbing material to provide a buffer, which can prevent damage to the internal structure and reduce the interference caused by the ultrasonic chip 3 itself after power is turned on.

[0028] The printed circuit board portion 21 is configured as a disc structure that matches the inner diameter of the upper cover 11, ensuring that the printed circuit board assembly 2 will not become loose when placed inside the upper cover 11. The bottom of the printed circuit board portion 21 is welded to the flexible circuit board 22 to achieve the connection of electrical signals. A connector 211 is vertically installed on the top of the printed circuit board portion 21. The connector 211 is configured as a hollow rectangular structure with an open top and a row of PIN pins are arranged inside. The connector 211 serves as a signal output interface and can be plugged into the signal input interface to transmit the signal to the post-processing system for processing through the PIN pins. A group of chip thermistors 212 are installed on the side of the top of the printed circuit board portion 21 away from the connector 211. The chip thermistors 212 can detect the ambient temperature and transmit the signal to the post-processing system.

[0029] The flexible circuit board 22 includes a first welding piece 221 welded to the bottom of the printed circuit board portion 21, a second welding piece 222 welded to the ultrasonic chip 3, and a connecting piece 223 connecting the first welding piece 221 and the second welding piece 222. The flexible circuit board 22 is respectively welded to the printed circuit board portion 21 and the ultrasonic chip 3, so as to realize the connection and transmission of electrical signals, and transmit the electrical signals generated by the ultrasonic chip 3 to the printed circuit board portion 21. The first welding piece 221 and the second welding piece 222 are respectively used for welding to the printed circuit board portion 21 and the ultrasonic chip 3, and both are set as rectangular plate structures and have welding holes thereon. The connecting piece 223 is arranged perpendicular to the first welding piece 221 and the second welding piece 222, and the two ends are respectively connected to the first welding piece 221 and the second welding piece 222.

[0030] A rubber plug 23 is provided between the first welding piece 221 and the second welding piece 222. The rubber plug 23 is provided as a cylindrical structure highly adapted to the flexible circuit board 22. The rubber plug 23 is provided between the flexible circuit boards 22 to provide support and buffering for the flexible circuit boards 22, and prevent the flexible circuit boards 22 from being deformed by external disturbances. At the same time, the rubber plug 23 can also be used as a shock-absorbing material to reduce the interference caused by the vibration of the ultrasonic chip 3 itself after power is turned on.

[0031] The ultrasonic chip 3 is welded to the bottom of the second welding piece 222, away from the rubber plug 23, and is set to a circular structure that matches the inner diameter of the lower cover 12, ensuring that it fits tightly with the lower cover 12 and will not get loose when placed inside the lower cover 12. After being powered on, the ultrasonic chip 3 can generate vibrations and emit ultrasonic waves to the outside. The ultrasonic waves emitted by the ultrasonic chip 3 are reflected by obstacles, and after the ultrasonic chip 3 receives the reflected ultrasonic waves, it generates voltage to output electrical signals to the outside, and finally transmits the electrical signals to the post-processing system through the connector 211 at the top of the printed circuit board 21.

[0032] The first welding piece 221 is welded to the bottom of the printed circuit board portion 21 , and the second welding piece 222 is welded to the ultrasonic chip 3 , so that the printed circuit board assembly 2 and the ultrasonic chip 3 are connected as a whole, and the electrical signal connection between the ultrasonic chip 3 and the printed circuit board portion 21 is realized.

[0033] Then, a rubber plug 23 is placed inside the flexible circuit board 22 to provide support and cushioning for the flexible circuit board 22 and prevent the flexible circuit board 22 from being deformed by external disturbance.

[0034] After the rubber plug 23 is installed, the printed circuit board assembly 2 and the ultrasonic chip 3 are placed inside the upper cover 11. Then, the two sets of buckles 112 on the upper cover 11 are respectively inserted into the two sets of slots 121 to achieve the connection between the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12. When the ultrasonic chip 3 is placed in the bottom of the lower cover 12, the four sets of interference ribs 122 on the inner wall of the lower cover 12 fit with the side wall of the ultrasonic chip 3, pressing the ultrasonic chip 3 tightly to prevent it from loosening during subsequent use.

[0035] After the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12 are connected, the connector 211 is plugged into the signal input interface to complete the connection with the post-processing system.

[0036] After the sensor is connected to the post-processing system and powered on, the ultrasonic chip 3 itself vibrates and emits ultrasonic waves. The ultrasonic waves emitted by the ultrasonic chip 3 are reflected by obstacles, and after the ultrasonic chip 3 receives the reflected ultrasonic waves, it generates voltage and outputs electrical signals. The electrical signal generated by the ultrasonic chip 3 is transmitted to the printed circuit board part 21 through the flexible circuit board 22, and the PIN pin inside the connector 211 transmits the signal to the post-processing system for processing, thereby completing the detection.

[0037] During the operation of the ultrasonic chip 3, the chip thermistor 212 on the top of the printed circuit board 21 detects the ambient temperature in real time and transmits the signal to the post-processing system. The rubber plug 23 acts as a shock absorbing material to reduce the interference caused by the vibration of the ultrasonic chip 3 itself.

[0039] Finally, it should be pointed out that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit them. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, a person skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the above embodiments can still be modified, or some of the technical features can be replaced by equivalents, and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model.
