Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of temperature sensors, and in particular relates to an anti-slip metal gasket and a temperature sensor using the anti-slip metal gasket. Background Art

[0002] When installing the existing automotive temperature sensor, in order to ensure the sealing, a sealing gasket is generally put on the threaded part of the temperature sensor. After the installation is completed, the sealing gasket is clamped between the nut part and the mounting seat. The existing sealing gasket is generally trumpet-shaped, that is, the diameter of the lower end is large and the diameter of the upper end is small. During installation, pressure needs to be applied to flatten the sealing gasket to play a sealing role. This type of sealing gasket will have the problem of work hardening during the flattening process, resulting in increased hardness. At the same time, debris is prone to appear at the stress point, and there is a hidden danger of sealing failure. There is also a commonly used temperature sensor installation sealing gasket, which is made of composite materials and can avoid the problems of the above-mentioned sealing gasket, but its cost is about 5 times that of ordinary metal washers. This kind of sealing gasket is directly put on the threaded part. Since the inner diameter of the sealing gasket is larger than the outer diameter of the threaded part, after the sealing gasket is installed, the sealing gasket is easy to fall off during the installation of the temperature sensor on the mounting seat, affecting production.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0017] like Figure 1-3As shown, the anti-slip metal gasket includes a gasket body 1 made of metal, and a plurality of claws 2 are respectively arranged around the inner wall of the gasket body 1. The upper ends of the claws 2 are bent and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the gasket body 1, and the lower ends of the claws 2 extend downward and extend out of the gasket body 1.

[0018] Furthermore, the claws 2 are arranged in a circle around the central axis of the washer body 1 .

[0019] Furthermore, the upper end of the clamping claw 2 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the inner wall of the gasket body 1. The clamping claw 2 will not affect the sealing performance of the gasket body 1 after being flattened.

[0020] Furthermore, the claw 2 and the washer body 1 are integrally formed.

[0021] The temperature sensor includes a shell, and the shell includes a mounting portion 3, a nut portion 4, a threaded portion 5 and a temperature sensing portion 6 which are fixedly connected in sequence from top to bottom. A thermistor 7 is installed inside the temperature sensing portion 6. The threaded portion 5 is sleeved with the above-mentioned anti-slip metal washer, and all the claws 2 form a virtual claw ring. The inner diameter of the virtual claw ring is larger than the outer diameter of the threaded portion 5, and the upper surface of the anti-slip metal washer fits the lower surface of the nut portion 4. The temperature sensor is threadedly connected to the mounting seat 9 through the threaded portion 5. Before installation, the washer body 1 is sleeved on the threaded portion 5, and pressure is applied to the claws 2 to flatten the claws 2, so that the claw ring clamps the threaded portion 5 and will not fall off the threaded portion 5. After the temperature sensor is tightened by the nut portion 4, the anti-slip metal washer is clamped between the nut portion 4 and the mounting seat 9 to play a sealing role.

[0022] Furthermore, an annular groove 8 is provided at the upper end of the threaded portion 5, and the distance between the inner wall of the gasket body 1 and the bottom of the annular groove 8 is greater than or equal to the length of the claw 2. The anti-slip metal gasket is sleeved on the upper end of the threaded portion 5, and pressure is applied to the claw 2, so that the claw 2 is flattened and deeply inserted into the annular groove 8, so that the anti-slip metal gasket will not be separated from the temperature sensor.

[0023] Furthermore, the groove bottom of the annular groove 8 and the threaded portion 5 have a smooth transition. After the clamping claw 2 is pressed, the clamping claw 2 is flattened and extends into the annular groove 8, so that the anti-stripping metal gasket will not be separated from the temperature sensor, making it convenient to install the temperature sensor on the mounting seat 9.
