[0019] The utility model is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] like Figure 4 The figure shows a cross-sectional view of a bolt assembly structure of a conventional design. The conventional housing 7 needs to be threaded to facilitate connection with the conventional sensor cover 4. The conventional sensor cover 4 structure needs to use a bushing 5 and a bolt 6, and the conventional housing 7 also needs to add a threading process.
[0021] like Figure 5 The figure shows a cross-sectional view of an existing internal snap-on glue assembly structure. 9 is an internal snap-on sensor cover, which has a complex snap-on structure and high cleanliness requirements. 8 is an internal snap-on housing, which has complex interface processing and high cleanliness requirements, which are difficult to meet. The internal snap-on sensor cover 9 is sealed by glue coating, which has high cleanliness requirements for the internal snap-on sensor cover and the internal snap-on housing 8, and the cleanliness requirements are difficult to meet.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the changes of the detachable hook structure 1-1 of the newly designed sensor cover 1 and the shell 2 of the utility model are mainly: the bushing 5 and the bolt 6 of the original traditional sensor cover 4 are cancelled, and the existing internal snap-on sensor cover 9 is changed to an external hook structure sensor cover.
[0023] The newly designed housing 2 does not require thread processing, the sensor cover 1 and housing 2 have low cleanliness requirements, and the processing cost is lower. The press-fitting process of the sensor cover 1 and housing 2 is simpler, and the hook structure 1-1 is on the outside of the housing 2, which can realize the rapid removal of the sensor cover.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the lower part of the sensor cover 1 is a disc-shaped structure, and the bottom of the disc-shaped structure is connected to the cylindrical structure; the left and right ends of the outer edge of the disc-shaped structure are respectively connected to the hook structure 1-1, and the outer edge of the cylindrical structure is provided with a plurality of annular grooves 1-2; the back of the hook structure 1-1 is provided with a reinforcing rib 1-3; the left and right sides of the upper end surface of the shell 2 are respectively provided with grooves; the sensor cover 1 is connected to the shell 2 through the groove of the shell 2 through the hook structure 1-1, and a plurality of O-rings 3 are provided between the bottom of the sensor cover 1 and the shell 2, and the O-rings 3 are embedded in the annular grooves 1-2.
[0025] The hook structure 1 - 1 and the sensor cover 1 are an integrated structure.
[0026] The hook structure 1 - 1 is an L-shaped structure, the upper portion of the hook structure 1 - 1 is connected to the sensor cover 1 , and the lower portion of the hook structure 1 - 1 is an outwardly bent structure.
[0027] The upper portion of the hook structure 1 - 1 is located on the upper side of the housing 2 , and the bending portion of the lower portion of the hook structure 1 - 1 is tightly fitted with the housing 2 .
