[0003] For example, an electrically heated urea liquid level sensor with the authorization announcement number of "CN206299433U" has an electric heating module and an electric heating tube connected to the inside through an electric heating wire. The electrically heated urea liquid level sensor is equipped with an electric heating device on the original urea liquid level sensor. When the ambient temperature is lower than the freezing temperature of the urea solution, direct electric heating can quickly and effectively dissolve the urea ice. It is not only simple in structure and easy to use, but also low in cost and good in heating effect, thus ensuring the normal operation of the post-treatment system. However, when using the heatable urea liquid level sensor, the wire of the heater needs to be connected to the interface of the vehicle, which will cause the wire to be pulled or the wire to fall due to being too long, which will cause cracks in the connection between the heatable urea liquid level sensor and the wire, causing the internal wire core to leak out, thereby increasing the risk of using the heatable urea liquid level sensor and shortening its service life.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0021] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-6 In the present embodiment, a heatable urea liquid level sensor includes a urea liquid level sensor 1 and a shell 4. The top of the urea liquid level sensor 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell 4. How to operate and use the urea liquid level sensor 1 is already a prior art, and no further elaboration is given. The model is selected according to the use requirements. The inner wall of the shell 4 is connected with a limiting structure 2, and a straight rod 7 is fixedly connected to the rear of the urea liquid level sensor 1. The outer wall of the straight rod 7 is fitted with the outer wall heating tube of the urea liquid level sensor 1. The front of the outer wall of the urea liquid level sensor 1 is connected with a mounting structure 3, and a threaded opening 5 is processed at the lower front of the mounting structure 3.

[0022] The limiting structure 2 includes a vertical plate 201 and a screw rod 202. The outer wall of the vertical plate 201 is slidably engaged with the inner wall of the housing 4. The vertical plate 201 is subjected to force and slides up and down through the inner wall of the housing 4. The lower front surface of the vertical plate 201 is fixedly connected to the rear end surface of the screw rod 202. The outer wall of the screw rod 202 is threadedly connected with a ring 203. The ring 203 is subjected to force and rotates forward and backward through the outer wall of the screw rod 202. The top of the vertical plate 201 is fixedly connected with an arc plate 204. The outer wall of the screw rod 202 is slidably engaged with the front notch of the housing 4. The screw 202 is subjected to force and slides up and down through the notch of the front surface of the housing 4. The inner wall of the arc plate 204 is clamped with a wire 6.

[0023] By limiting the structure 2, the ring 203 is rotated forward on the outer wall of the screw 202, so that the ring 203 is separated from the front of the shell 4, and then the screw 202 is pushed upward, and the screw 202 moves upward in the notch on the front of the shell 4. The moving screw 202 moves upward with the vertical plate 201 on the inner wall of the shell 4, and the moving vertical plate 201 moves upward with the arc plate 204. When the arc plate 204 does not conflict with the vehicle body structure, it moves outward as much as possible, and then the ring 203 rotates backward on the outer wall of the screw 202, so that the rear end face of the ring 203 is pressed against the front of the shell 4, and the position of the screw 202 and the vertical plate 201 is fixed. Then, the outer wall of the wire 6 is inserted into the inside of the arc plate 204, and the bending position of the wire 6 is changed to avoid damage to the connection, thereby eliminating the danger of using the heatable urea liquid level sensor and ensuring the service life.

[0024] The bottom of the wire 6 is electrically connected to the top of the urea liquid level sensor 1. The mounting structure 3 includes a curved plate 301 and a slide groove 302. The inner wall of the curved plate 301 is fixedly connected to the front of the outer wall of the urea liquid level sensor 1. The left and right sides of the front of the curved plate 301 are respectively processed with slide grooves 302. The inner wall of the slide groove 302 is slidably connected with a straight cylinder 303. The straight cylinder 303 is subjected to force to slide along the inner wall of the slide groove 302. A threaded opening 5 is processed at the lower part of the front of the curved plate 301.

[0025] Working principle:

[0026] When the urea liquid level changes, the float will float up and down with the rise and fall of the urea liquid level, and transmit this state to the capacitive sensor through the connecting rod. The capacitive sensor detects the change in capacitance value based on the up and down movement of the float, and then transmits the signal to the vehicle computer main control system, thereby realizing the monitoring of the urea liquid level. The urea liquid level sensor 1 can control the heating tube on the outer wall to increase the temperature, thereby realizing the heating of the urea liquid.

[0027] Urea level sensor installation:

[0028] The urea liquid level sensor 1 is inserted into the urea tank of the vehicle, the curved plate 301 is fitted with the outer wall of the urea tank, and then the bolts are passed through the threaded opening 5 to fix to the urea tank, and then the straight cylinder 303 is slid on the inner wall of the slide groove 302 to adjust the connection position, and then the bolts are threaded through the straight cylinder 303 to fix to the urea tank, and the installation of the urea liquid level sensor 1 is completed.

[0029] Urea liquid level sensor wire placement:

[0030] After the urea liquid level sensor 1 is installed, the ring 203 is rotated forward on the outer wall of the screw 202 to separate the ring 203 from the front of the shell 4, and then the screw 202 is pushed upward, and the screw 202 moves upward in the notch on the front of the shell 4. The moving screw 202 moves upward with the vertical plate 201 on the inner wall of the shell 4, and the moving vertical plate 201 moves upward with the arc plate 204. When the arc plate 204 does not conflict with the vehicle body structure, it moves outward as much as possible, and then the ring 203 rotates backward on the outer wall of the screw 202 to make the rear end face of the ring 203 press against the front of the shell 4, completing the position fixation of the screw 202 and the vertical plate 201, and then the outer wall of the wire 6 is inserted into the inside of the arc plate 204, and the bending position of the wire 6 is changed to avoid damage to the connection.

[0031] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1-6 : In this embodiment, a heatable urea liquid level sensor also includes a bent rod 8, the left end of the bent rod 8 is fixedly connected to the right side of the straight rod 7, and the left side of the outer wall of the bent rod 8 is in contact with the right side of the urea liquid level sensor 1.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] When the urea liquid level sensor 1 is in use, the outer wall of the bent rod 8 fits against the outer wall of the urea liquid level sensor 1 , and the outer wall of the straight rod 7 fits against the inner wall of the urea liquid level sensor 1 . The straight rod 7 and the bent rod 8 support the heating tube on the outer wall of the urea liquid level sensor 1 , playing a shaping role.

[0034] Although the present invention has been shown and described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein within the scope of the claims.
