Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sensor equipment, in particular to an ultrasonic sensor installation structure. Background Art

[0002] In the existing technology, when installing an ultrasonic sensor, the ultrasonic sensor and the mounting shell are usually potted with hard glue such as epoxy resin. After potting, the hard glue makes the ultrasonic sensor and the mounting shell contact with a large area and tightly connect them into one. However, since the signal of the ultrasonic sensor is easily transmitted through solids when working, when the ultrasonic sensor and the mounting shell contact with a large area and are tightly connected into one, the mounting shell will interfere with the signal of the ultrasonic sensor, affecting the stability of the ultrasonic sensor signal.

[0003] Based on this, the applicant considered designing an ultrasonic sensor mounting structure that can reduce interference to the ultrasonic sensor signal. Utility Model Content

The bottom side of the ultrasonic sensor body 100 contacts the bottom side of the mounting groove. A sealing hole 212 is provided on the bottom side of the mounting groove and is connected to the bottom side of the mounting sleeve 210. A connecting seal 300 is encapsulated in the sealing hole 212 and contacts and is connected to the bottom side of the ultrasonic sensor body 100 and the mounting sleeve 210.

[0029] In this embodiment, when installing the ultrasonic sensor body 100, it is placed in the installation groove of the installation sleeve 210, and the bottom side of the ultrasonic sensor body 100 is in contact with the bottom side of the installation groove, and then the sealing material is poured into the sealing hole 212 on the installation sleeve 210 to form a connecting seal 300 that is in contact with and connected to the bottom side of the ultrasonic sensor body 100 and the installation sleeve 210, so that the ultrasonic sensor body 100 and the installation sleeve 210 are fixedly connected as a whole; because the connecting seal 300 is only in contact with and connected to the bottom of the ultrasonic sensor body 100 and the installation sleeve 210, the area of ​​close contact between the ultrasonic sensor body 100 and the installation shell is limited, the interference of solid conduction on the signal of the ultrasonic sensor body 100 is reduced, and the stability of the signal of the ultrasonic sensor body 100 is improved.

[0030] Preferably, if Figure 4As shown, the outer wall of the ultrasonic sensor body 100 and the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 210 are spaced apart to form a gap 12; the gap 12 can reduce the interference of solid conduction on the signal of the ultrasonic sensor body 100; the gap 12 can improve the air flow around the ultrasonic sensor body 100 and help dissipate heat.
