The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0019] Example

[0020] See also Figure 1-2 , which is the first embodiment of the utility model, and this embodiment provides a square ultra-thin capacitive proximity sensor structure, including a sensor body 1, a fork-shaped detection surface 2 is arranged at the bottom of the sensor body 1, and a shielding cover 3 is pasted on the surface of one side of the sensor body 1, and the material of the shielding cover 3 is copper foil.

[0021] Specifically, mounting holes 4 are provided on both sides of the surface of the sensor body 1 , and a connecting line 5 is provided on one side of the sensor body 1 .

[0022] Furthermore, by opening mounting holes 4 on both sides, the sensor can be more firmly fixed on the device, thereby improving the stability of the sensor during use. The provision of the connecting wire 5 also ensures a firm connection between the sensor and the external device, avoiding loosening or disconnection during operation.

[0023] Specifically, grooves 6 are provided around the surface of the sensor body 1 , and there are two mounting holes 4 , each of which has a circular cross-sectional shape.

[0024] Furthermore, the groove 6 can be used to install additional accessories or provide more options for fixing. When integrated into different systems or applications, the groove 6 can be used as a slot for fluid sealant or for placing fixing elements, thereby making the installation more flexible.

[0025] Specifically, a circuit board is disposed inside the sensor body 1 and the circuit board includes a capacitive sensing element, a processing chip and an interface element.

[0026] Furthermore, by integrating capacitive sensing elements, processing chips and interface elements, its integrated design simplifies the product structure and improves the stability of the circuit and the efficiency of data processing.

[0027] Specifically, there are four grooves 6 , and the shielding cover 3 is coated with sealant around its periphery.

If the installation environment requires sealing, use the grooves 6 around the sensor body 1, add sealing rings or sealant during installation, and connect the sensor to the external device (controller or display) through the connecting line 5 on one side of the sensor body 1. After power-on, observe whether the sensor is working normally to ensure that the fork-shaped detection surface 2 can accurately detect approaching objects. According to actual use, adjust the sensitivity and detection distance of the sensor through external equipment, keep the shielding cover 3 clean, and prevent external pollutants from affecting the performance of the sensor.

[0029] In summary, by setting up the fork-shaped detection surface 2, it provides a larger detection area and a more dispersed sensing area, thereby improving the sensitivity and stability to approaching objects.
