[0027] The term "and / or" or "and / or" includes all combinations of any one or more of the associated listed items.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, this specification provides a heat dissipation type high temperature melt pressure sensor, including:

[0029] Sensor housing, pressure measuring element; the sensor housing includes Hastelloy housing and nickel-based alloy housing. Hastelloy has good physical properties and has excellent performance in corrosion resistance and thermal stability; it has strong anti-oxidation and corrosion resistance. Nickel-based alloys have good strength and anti-oxidation and corrosion resistance at high temperatures. The surface of the sensor housing is provided with a ceramic coating. By utilizing the high hardness, corrosion resistance, insulation performance and high temperature stability of the ceramic coating, the sensor housing can be protected from damage by the external environment and its working performance in complex environments can be improved. It is worth noting that the pressure measuring element takes into account the matching of the thermal expansion coefficient to ensure that it will not fail due to thermal stress when the temperature changes. A cooling channel is formed in the sensor housing, which is used to improve the heat dissipation efficiency and ensure that the pressure measuring element can work normally in a high temperature environment. The pressure measuring element is arranged in the cooling channel of the sensor housing so that the air flow or coolant in the channel can be directly used to dissipate heat.

[0030] The sensor housing includes a first heat sink 2, a first transition piece 3, a second heat sink 4, a fixing piece 5, a second transition piece 6, and a contact piece 7; one end of the pressure measuring element is fixed by the first heat sink 2, and the first heat sink 2 includes a copper heat sink and an aluminum heat sink, which can effectively conduct the heat generated inside to the outside. The first heat sink assembly is also connected to the first transition piece 3, the first transition piece 3 is connected to the second heat sink 4, and the second transition piece 6 is fixed to the second heat sink 4 by the fixing piece 5, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of the whole structure. The fixing piece 5 includes a detachable flange and a bolt, which together ensure the stability of the internal components of the sensor housing and the reliability of the external connection. The detachable flange design allows the sensor to be easily disassembled and reinstalled when necessary, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement; and the bolts tightly connect the flange and other components together through the fixing action, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection, improving the availability and flexibility of the sensor, and reducing the maintenance cost and time. The second heat sink 4 is connected to the contact piece 7, and the first transition piece 3 and the second transition piece 6 are used to connect the heat sink to ensure that the heat can be smoothly transferred from the pressure measuring element to the heat sink.

[0031] like Figure 2As shown, the pressure measuring element includes a first seal 8, an electrical connector 1, a circuit board 9, a mounting member 10, a contact sheet 11, an isolation block 12, a diaphragm 13, a second seal 14, a strain gauge sensor 15, a metal elastic body 16, a mounting seat 17, and a cable 18; the first seal 8 abuts against the electrical connector 1 to ensure the stability and sealing of the electrical connector 1, and the first seal 8 includes a mechanical seal, which is realized by a precisely machined metal gasket and an elastic material. The electrical connector 1 is fixed to the first heat sink 2, the circuit board 9 is fixed between the electrical connector 1 and the contact sheet 11 through the mounting member 10, one end of the isolation block 12 is fixed to the side of the contact sheet 11 away from the circuit board 9, and the other side of the isolation block 12 is fixed to the diaphragm 13, so as to separate the contact sheet 11 from the diaphragm 13; one end of the strain gauge sensor 15 is fixedly connected to the second seal 14, and the second seal 14 is a chemical seal, that is, a ceramic material or a special alloy material such as Hastelloy that is resistant to high temperature and corrosion is used. The other end of the strain gauge sensor 15 is connected to the metal elastic body 16, the metal elastic body 16 is connected to the mounting seat 17, the mounting seat 17 is fixed to the second heat sink 4, and the mounting seat 17 is also connected to the cable 18. The cable 18 can be a silicone rubber cable, which can work normally in the temperature range of -60°C to +200°C, has good electrical insulation performance, can operate stably under high voltage, and has excellent aging resistance, has good resistance to acids, alkalis and corrosive gases, can be used in a long-term humid environment, and ensures long-term reliability; at the same time, its structure is soft, the bending performance is excellent, and the minimum bending radius can reach 16 times the outer diameter of the cable 18, which makes it easy to install and lay.

[0032] Of course, the first seal 8 and the second seal 14 also take into account the influence of thermal expansion, and ensure that the sealing performance is not affected when the temperature changes by using expandable materials and reserving appropriate gaps. In addition, the sensor also includes a detection mechanism to monitor the sealing status in real time and issue an alarm immediately if a leak occurs.

[0033] The heat dissipation type high temperature melt pressure sensor also takes into account the requirements of explosion-proof and waterproof, and ensures stability and safety in harsh environments by using protective materials and structural designs that meet relevant standards. In addition, the heat dissipation type high temperature melt pressure sensor also includes overload protection and short circuit protection functions to prevent equipment damage caused by abnormal conditions.

[0034] like Figure 3As shown, one end of the spring 19 is fixedly connected to the first heat sink 2, the other end of the spring 19 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 17, and the pressure measuring element is sleeved in the spring 19. Spring 19 One end of the spring 19 is fixedly connected to the first heat sink 2, and the other end is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 17. Such a design can provide structural support for the entire device. The elastic properties of the spring 19 itself enable it to withstand forces and vibrations from different directions, thereby maintaining the stability and reliability of the device. When the device is vibrated or impacted, the spring 19 can effectively absorb and buffer these forces to prevent them from directly acting on sensitive components such as the pressure measuring element. This can reduce the risk of measurement errors and component damage caused by vibration. The spring 19 can also serve as a force transmission path to uniformly transmit the force or stress from the external environment to other parts of the device. This is very important for ensuring the uniformity and stability of the device when it is under force. The pressure measuring element is a very critical component in the device, and it needs to be accurate and reliable. By sleeved in the spring 19, the pressure measuring element can be effectively protected from external shocks, vibrations or improper installation. The elasticity of the spring 19 can buffer these potential damaging factors and ensure that the pressure measuring element can work in a stable environment.

[0035] The working principle of the heat dissipation type high temperature melt pressure sensor: Figure 4 As shown, the contact piece contacts the high-temperature melt to generate pressure, and the pressure acts on the metal elastomer, causing the strain gauge sensor connected to the metal elastomer to deform and change its resistance. The circuit board receives the resistance change of the strain gauge sensor, generates an electrical signal, and transmits the electrical signal to the external device.

[0036] The utility model has good stability and high-precision measurement capability in a high-temperature environment, meeting the demand for pressure measurement in a high-temperature industrial production process.
