The sensor includes a housing and a resistor arranged in the housing. Two terminals on the resistor are connected to an input lead and an output lead. A rocker arm is hinged on the housing, and a part of the rocker arm is in the housing. The rocker arm is driven and rotated by an oil float. However, the existing resistor has the following disadvantages:

[0003] Since the resistor of the existing resistor sheet is in the shape of comb teeth and there is a gap between two adjacent resistor probes, when the sliding contact moves to the gap between the two resistor probes, power failure may occur, and if the contact between the contact and the resistor is poor, power failure may also occur. Therefore, the utility model proposes a resistor sheet for an oil level sensor. Utility Model Content

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. 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.

[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a resistor sheet of an oil level sensor comprises a first substrate 1, a second substrate 2 is fixedly connected to the middle of the side of the first substrate 1, an arc guide rail 3 is fixed to the upper surface of the first substrate 1, an arc resistor sheet 4 is embedded in the upper surface of the arc guide rail 3, a sliding sleeve 5 is slidably connected to the surface of the arc guide rail 3, a conducting component 6 electrically connected to the arc resistor sheet 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding sleeve 5, a rotating shaft 8 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the second substrate 2 away from one end of the first substrate 1, a cross bar 9 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 8, and the other end of the cross bar 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 5.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the rotating shaft 8 and the cross bar 9 form a swing assembly, the center of the arc guide rail 3 coincides with the rotating shaft 8, and the top end of the rotating shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the driving rod of the oil float.

[0024] In this embodiment, the method in which the oil float drives the rotating shaft 8 to rotate is the prior art, and the specific working principle will not be described in detail.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of mounting holes are provided on the sides of the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2. The first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 can be mounted and fixed through the mounting holes.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a conductive sheet 7 is fixed on the upper surface of the first substrate 1 and located at one end of the arc-shaped guide rail 3 , and the conductive sheet 7 is electrically connected to the arc-shaped resistor sheet 4 .

[0027] After the conductive sheet 7 is connected to the arc-shaped resistor sheet 4, the conductive sheet 7 can be used as an input end or an output end.

[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the conducting component 6 includes a circular tube 61 fixed to the upper surface of the sliding sleeve 5, a through hole 62 is opened on the top wall of the circular tube 61, a conductive rod 63 is arranged inside the circular tube 61, the bottom end of the conductive rod 63 is in contact with the upper surface of the arc-shaped resistor 4, a wire 66 is fixedly connected to the top of the conductive rod 63, and the top end of the wire 66 extends through the through hole 62 to the outside of the circular tube 61.

[0029] The conductive rod 63 is in contact with the arc-shaped resistor 4, so that the conductive rod 63 can be used as an input end or an output end, and the conductive component 6 can change its position by moving on the surface of the arc-shaped guide rail 3 through the sliding sleeve 5, and the distance between the conductive rod 63 and the conductive sheet 7 is the length of the arc-shaped resistor 4 connected to the circuit.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, a slide plate 64 is fixed on the bottom surface of the conductive rod 63 , and the slide plate 64 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the circular tube 61 , and a spring 65 is fixedly connected between the upper surface of the slide plate 64 and the inner top wall of the circular tube 61 .

[0031] The spring 65 pushes the slide plate 64 downward, so that the conductive rod 63 can always be in contact with the arc-shaped resistor sheet 4.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of spherical grooves 10 are formed on the inner top wall of the sliding sleeve 5 , and a ball 11 is rotatably connected inside each spherical groove 10 , and the bottom end of the ball 11 is in contact with the upper surface of the arc guide rail 3 .

[0033] When the sliding sleeve 5 slides on the surface of the arc-shaped guide rail 3 , the balls 11 can reduce the friction between the sliding sleeve 5 and the arc-shaped guide rail 3 , so that the sliding sleeve 5 moves more smoothly.

[0034] Working principle: Connect the wire 66 and the conductive sheet 7 to the circuit of the sensor. When the oil float moves, the driving rod will drive the shaft 8 to rotate, and the shaft 8 will drive the cross bar 9 to deflect. The cross bar 9 will then drive the sliding sleeve 5 to move along the arc guide rail 3. During the movement, the conductive rod 63 will always be in contact with the arc resistor 4, thereby changing the length of the arc resistor 4 connected to the circuit, thereby changing the resistance value, and then realizing the measurement of the sensor.
