Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a high waterproof performance sealing structure for a Hall principle sensor, belonging to the technical field of length measuring and angle measuring sensors in engineering machinery. Background Art

[0002] At present, in domestic engineering machinery, length measuring sensors are often used in detection systems such as the extension length of the boom, the remaining number of turns of the winch wire rope, and the extension length of the outriggers.

[0003] In recent years, Hall principle length and angle measurement sensors have gradually been used in engineering machinery, effectively solving problems such as low detection accuracy of gears and potentiometers in traditional length and angle sensors and poor reliability caused by mechanical wear.

[0004] However, the existing Hall principle detection device cannot adapt to the application of engineering machinery in harsh outdoor environments. The waterproof design of the Hall circuit is more important than when used indoors, and its waterproof ability directly affects the protection performance and reliability of the sensor. The existing Hall principle detection device has a sealing structure between the shaft and the base, which requires high machining precision of the shaft and the base. The shaft is a moving part. Once it is worn or the machining quality is unqualified, a gap will appear in the sealing structure between the shaft and the base, causing the seal to fail and water to enter. The probability of moisture entering the circuit board side from the shaft is high, and the moisture cannot be isolated from the circuit board, causing the electrical components on the circuit board to fail and be damaged under harsh conditions such as humidity, water vapor, and rain, and unable to output signals normally, reducing the reliability of the sensor.

[0005] To this end, the utility model designs a highly waterproof sealing structure to solve the problem of insufficient sealing of the existing Hall principle sensor. Utility Model Content

The second groove 702 is used to accommodate a Hall chip.

[0030] Furthermore, a shell seal 9 is provided between the inner wall of the shell 4 and the side wall of the base 3 .

[0031] Furthermore, an end face seal 10 is provided between the bottom of the housing 4 and the top of the base 3 .

[0036] Furthermore, the thickness of the closed partition 703 is set to 0.5-2 mm.

[0037] Furthermore, the bearing cover 7 is made of nylon plastic material.

[0038] Furthermore, the stud through hole 705 corresponds to the position of the bearing cover mounting hole 303 .

[0039] Embodiment 2:

[0040] The Hall principle sensor with high waterproof performance sealing structure of the utility model is mainly divided into the sealing combination between the shell and the base, the rotating shaft and the base, and the base and the bearing gland. Two seals are designed between the shell 4 and the base 3, namely the shell seal 9 and the end face seal 10, which can ensure the sealing and waterproof performance between the shells. A rotating seal 2 is arranged between the rotating shaft 1 and the base 3, and a static seal 8 is arranged between the base 3 and the bearing gland 7 to prevent moisture from entering the circuit board side through the gap between the base and the bearing gland.

[0041] In addition, a closed partition is set on the top of the bearing cover, which has a sealing function. The thickness of the sealing structure is L. The closed partition can effectively isolate the moisture on the shaft side from entering the circuit board side. The bearing cover is made of nylon plastic material, so it does not contain magnetic materials to avoid affecting sensor detection. The value of L needs to be determined according to the material of the bearing cover and the inductive communication parameters of the magnet and the Hall chip. Through design optimization, the L value range is determined to be 0.5-2mm, which improves the waterproof performance while ensuring the normal inductive communication between the magnet and the Hall chip.

[0042] When the sensor is working, one end of the shaft extends out of the base, and the shaft is driven to rotate by the external mechanical structure. A radial magnet is installed at the other end, and the Hall chip on the circuit board is arranged vertically facing the magnet. When the shaft rotates, the magnet and the Hall chip produce magnetic field changes and output detection signals. During the shaft rotation process, a rotating seal is set between the shaft and the base, and a static seal is set between the base and the bearing gland. At the same time, one end of the bearing gland is a closed partition structure, which can effectively prevent moisture from entering the circuit board side through the shaft, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the sensor.

[0043] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
