Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sensors, in particular to an air-conditioning pressure sensor. Background Art

[0002] Air conditioning pressure sensors achieve fine control of the entire system by measuring pressure changes in the refrigeration system. These sensors can convert pressure changes into electronic signals. After receiving these signals, the ECU engine control unit or CPU main control board will perform logical analysis and make corresponding adjustment instructions. When the pressure in the system is abnormal, whether it is too high or too low, the control system will cut off the power supply of the compressor in time to prevent damage to the compressor caused by insufficient lubrication or abnormal pressure.

[0003] The publication number is: CN206235428U. A pressure sensor for air conditioning is disclosed, including a base assembly as a pressure introduction end, and an upper shell located above the base assembly. A cavity is defined between the base assembly and the upper shell. The base assembly is used to be sealed and connected to the air-conditioning refrigeration equipment. A valve needle is provided at the pressure guide port of the base assembly. A core body is fixedly arranged in the cavity, and a buffer mesh cap is arranged between the base assembly and the core body. The pressure sensing element and the amplification circuit of the core body are integrated into a single chip package; the core body is connected to a PCB board, and the PCB board is connected to a Packard male end arranged outside the upper shell. The product has a small appearance, is easy to install, and a special valve needle is designed for the pressure guide port.

[0004] In modern automobiles, the dense arrangement of various electronic devices and modules makes electromagnetic interference a common problem. Without proper signal shielding, the above-mentioned air-conditioning pressure sensor does not shield the interference signal. The signal emitted by the pressure sensor will be interfered by other electronic components, resulting in data transmission errors or failures. The interference signal will cause the ECU engine control unit to receive wrong data and cause system misjudgment. This misjudgment will cause the system to respond inappropriately, incorrectly adjust the working state of the compressor, and affect the cooling effect of the air-conditioning system. Therefore, there is still room for modification of the above-mentioned air-conditioning pressure sensor. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an air-conditioning pressure sensor in view of the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the metal shielding cover is placed in the embedded groove, and the metal shielding cover serves as a shield for the embedded groove through the upper embedded groove and the lower embedded groove. At the same time, a seal is installed in the upper embedded groove to enhance the sealing between the lower shell and the base, and a seal is installed in the upper embedded groove to enhance the sealing between the installation cavity and the core body.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the lower shell is embedded in the second mounting cavity of the base, and the first circuit board and the second circuit board are embedded in the third mounting cavity of the upper shell. This double embedded design greatly enhances the structural stability of the entire sensor. The electrical connection between the first circuit board and the second circuit board is protected in the embedded mounting cavity, thereby reducing the interference of the external environment on the circuit connection part, ensuring the stability of the circuit and the reliability of signal transmission. The upper shell and the lower shell are connected by means of a card slot and a buckle, which is easy to disassemble without additional tools or complicated operating steps. When the sensor needs maintenance or replacement of parts, it can be quickly disassembled and reassembled.

[0012] The above-mentioned air-conditioning pressure sensor may be further configured as follows: a plurality of fixing protrusions are arranged around the metal shielding cover, and the fixing protrusions are fixedly arranged in the first installation cavity.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the several fixed protrusions arranged on the metal shielding cover are injection molded in the first installation cavity when the metal shielding cover is injection molded in the first installation cavity, thereby strengthening the connection with the plastic, preventing the metal shielding cover from rotating inside the first installation cavity and making the product more stable.

[0014] The above-mentioned air-conditioning pressure sensor may be further configured as follows: the lower shell is made of plastic, and the core is made of ceramic.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the circuit board and the metal shielding cover are isolated by a plastic layer, which can withstand voltages above AC1800V and a leakage current within 0.75MA, meeting the use requirements of household appliances. Compared with other materials such as metals, ceramic materials are better in withstanding pressure and thermal expansion. In air-conditioning systems, sensors need to face constantly changing pressure and temperature environments. The ceramic core can ensure continuous operation under these conditions without losing accuracy.
