Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile sensors, in particular to a sealing structure of an automobile sensor. Background Art

[0002] The automotive sensor is the input device of the automotive computer system. It converts various operating information of the vehicle, such as vehicle speed, temperature of various media, engine operating conditions, etc., into electrical signals and transmits them to the computer so that the engine is in the best working state. According to the function of the sensor, automotive sensors can be classified into sensors with functions such as measuring temperature, pressure, flow, position, gas concentration, speed, brightness, dryness and humidity, and distance. The function of the automotive exhaust temperature sensor is to detect the exhaust temperature when the automobile engine is at high speed and high temperature, and transmit the exhaust temperature at this time to the automotive microcontroller to judge the various working conditions of the engine.

The sealing sleeve 7 is made of rubber material, and the outer wall of the lead-out wire 4 and the inner wall of the mounting shell 6 are filled so that there is no gap between the outer wall of the lead-out wire 4 and the inner wall of the mounting shell 6. The outer wall of the lead-out wire 4 is sleeved with a sealing ring 10, and the top of the sealing sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to the mounting sleeve 9, and the top of the mounting shell 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting ring 8, one side of the mounting sleeve 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting ring 8, the outer wall of the sealing ring 10 is fixedly connected to the limiting ring 12, and the top of the mounting sleeve 9 is fixedly connected to the limiting shell 11, the inner wall of the limiting shell 11 is fixedly connected to the elastic pad 13, and the outer wall of the limiting ring 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the elastic pad 13; the outer wall of the first protective shell 2 is provided with an auxiliary fixing component, and the auxiliary fixing component is used to auxiliary fix the mounting tube 1.

[0032] Through the cooperation of the set sealing ring 10, the limit ring 12 and the elastic pad 13, when in use, the operator can install the installation tube 1 to the exhaust pipe of the automobile. The set sealing ring 10 can effectively wrap and protect the outer wall of the lead-out line 4. When the automobile is bumpy during driving, the lead-out line 4 will be pulled or shaken, which can drive the limit ring 12 to move synchronously. The limit ring 12 abuts against the elastic pad 13 when moving. The elastic pad 13 has a certain elasticity, so that the connection between the lead-out line 4 and the limit shell 11 is always in a sealed state. No glue is used for sealing, so that when the sensor is in a high temperature state during long-term use, the seal will not fall off easily, thereby improving the sealing performance of the sensor, making it difficult for dust to enter the inside of the sensor, etc., thereby improving the service life of the sensor.

[0033] By setting the fixing ring 5 and the sealing sleeve 7, when in use, the setting fixing ring 5 can protect the connection between the lead wire 4 and the second protective shell 3, so that the lead wire 4 will not be scratched by the second protective shell 3 when it shakes or is pulled during use. At the same time, the setting sealing sleeve 7 can fill the outer wall of the lead wire 4 and the inner wall of the mounting shell 6, so that there is no gap between the outer wall of the lead wire 4 and the inner wall of the mounting shell 6. When the setting mounting sleeve 9 is installing the limit shell 11, it can fill the outer wall of the sealing ring 10 and the inner wall of the mounting shell 6, thereby avoiding dust from entering through the gap, improving the sealing of the connection between the lead wire 4 and the mounting shell 6, and further improving the sealing performance of the sensor.

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the auxiliary fixing assembly includes auxiliary fixing plates 15 fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the first protective shell 2, each auxiliary fixing plate 15 is threadedly connected to a support rod 16, one end of the support rod 16 is fixedly connected to a handle 17, and the other end of the support rod 16 is fixedly connected to an adhesive block 18.

[0035] By providing the support rod 16 and the adhesive block 18, when in use, after the sensor is installed, the user can rotate the handle 17 to drive the support rod 16 and the adhesive block 18 to rotate synchronously, tear off the protective film on the connecting ring 8 to expose the adhesive surface, and when the adhesive block 18 is rotated to abut against the surface of the automobile exhaust pipe, it is adhered and fixed thereto, thereby achieving an auxiliary fixation effect on the mounting tube 1 and the first protective shell 2. When exhaust is discharged from the exhaust pipe and shaking occurs during driving of the automobile, the stability performance of the entire sensor is improved.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, the elastic pad 13 is made of elastic cotton material, which is convenient for installing the elastic pad 13. When the lead wire 4 is pulled or shaken, it can drive the limit ring 12 to move synchronously. The limit ring 12 abuts against the elastic pad 13 when moving. The elastic pad 13 has a certain elasticity, so that the connection between the lead wire 4 and the limit shell 11 is always in a sealed state.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the fixing ring 5 is made of rubber, and the fixing ring 5 is clamped and fixed to the second protective shell 3, so as to protect the lead wire 4, so that the lead wire 4 will not be scratched by the second protective shell 3 when it shakes or is pulled during use.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the handle 17 is provided with a plurality of anti-skid grooves, and the anti-skid grooves can increase the friction between the user's hand and the handle 17 so that the user will not slip when turning the handle 17 .

[0039] like Figure 7As shown, the heat dissipation hole 14 has an S-shaped structure. The heat dissipation hole 14 can disperse the heat generated by the lead wire 4 during use, and the S-shaped structure makes it difficult for external dust to enter the sensor along the heat dissipation hole 14, so that the sensor always remains sealed during use.

[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the limiting shell 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting sleeve 9 by welding, and the welding method has a better fixing effect, so that during the use of the sensor, the connection between the mounting sleeve 9 and the limiting shell 11 will not be damaged, resulting in a decrease in the sealing effect of the sensor.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the first protective shell 2 and the second protective shell 3 are both made of high-temperature resistant plastic material. The first protective shell 2 and the second protective shell 3 are fixedly connected by hot-melt welding. Hot-melt welding has a better fixing effect. The use of high-temperature resistant plastic material is inexpensive and can reduce production costs. At the same time, the first protective shell 2 and the second protective shell 3 will not melt due to long-term high-temperature regulation during use, thereby improving the service life of the first protective shell 2 and the second protective shell 3.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the mounting sleeve 9 is L-shaped and is made of metal, preferably stainless steel, which can fill the outer wall of the sealing ring 10 and the inner wall of the mounting shell 6, thereby preventing dust from entering through the gap and improving the sealing of the connection between the lead wire 4 and the mounting shell 6.
