Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ultrasonic sensors, in particular to a shell used for ultrasonic sensors. Background Art

[0002] Ultrasonic sensors are sensors that convert ultrasonic signals into other energy signals. Ultrasonic waves are mechanical waves with a vibration frequency higher than 20kHz. They have the characteristics of high frequency, short wavelength, small diffraction, and especially good directionality, and can become rays and propagate in a directional manner. Ultrasonic waves have a great ability to penetrate liquids and solids, especially in solids that are opaque to sunlight. When ultrasonic waves encounter impurities or interfaces, they will produce significant reflections to form reflected echoes, and when they encounter moving objects, they can produce the Doppler effect. Ultrasonic sensors are widely used in industry, national defense, biomedicine, etc.

[0003] After searching, Chinese patent CN213544819U was found and announced an ultrasonic sensor housing structure. The original integrated sensor housing was divided into three parts, and through structural improvements, the upper housing did not vibrate or vibrated very little, so the energy was not dissipated or dissipated very little, so the vibration energy was concentrated on the lower housing, i.e., the bottom of the housing body. The higher the energy, the longer the test distance, and ultimately the test distance of more than 5 meters for automatic parking can be achieved. It can be seen that the patent achieves the purpose of avoiding the vibration of the upper housing to increase the test distance of automatic parking. As the housing of the ultrasonic sensor used in various cast-in-place piles, the ultrasonic sensor housing must penetrate into the center of the drilled hole filled with mud, and the outer surface of the housing will be covered with mud. If the mud is allowed to flow into the housing, it will contaminate the ultrasonic sensor, causing the mud to penetrate into the components of the ultrasonic sensor and be damaged. For this reason, a housing for an ultrasonic sensor is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a shell for an ultrasonic sensor, which has the advantage of preventing mud from flowing into the interior of the ultrasonic sensor shell.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of preventing mud from flowing into the interior of the ultrasonic sensor housing, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a housing for an ultrasonic sensor, comprising a housing, the side wall and the top wall of the housing are both provided with a stepped hole connected to the inner cavity of the housing, the inner wall of the upper stepped hole is combined with a first end cover, the inner wall of the side stepped hole is combined with a second end cover, and the inner walls of the front and rear stepped holes are combined with a third end cover, and the housing, the first end cover, the second end cover and the third end cover are provided with a sealing assembly for sealing the housing;

[0006] The sealing assembly includes an extension tube, a sealing ring, a protrusion and a notch. The extension tube is fixedly connected to the ends of the first end cover, the second end cover and the third end cover. The sealing ring is sleeved on the outer surface of the extension tube and abuts against the inner wall of the outer shell. The protrusion is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell. The notch is opened at the end of the extension tube, and the protrusion abuts against the notch accordingly.

[0007] Furthermore, the sealing ring is made of rubber, the protrusion is in a ring shape, and the notch is an arc-shaped inclined surface.

[0008] Furthermore, the first end cover, the second end cover and the third end cover are all provided with fastening screws threadedly connected to the outer shell, and the outer surface of the extension tube is provided with a groove for sleeve-engaging the sealing ring.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides a housing for an ultrasonic sensor, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] The shell for the ultrasonic sensor is provided with a sealing component. After the sealing component is used, the extension tube can extend the contact path between the outside and the inside of the shell, so that the mortar is hindered from entering the inside of the shell. The sealing ring is elastic. When the sealing ring is pushed into contact with the inner wall of the shell, it will abut against the inner wall of the shell, so that when the mortar flows into the gap between the extension tube and the inner wall of the shell, it will be blocked by the sealing ring, and the protrusion and the notch abut against each other, so that the tightness between the protrusion and the notch is more fitted, thereby improving the sealing between the inside of the shell and the mortar, and preventing mud from flowing into the inside of the shell.

The first end cover 3, the second end cover 4 and the third end cover 5 are combined with the shell 1 in a plug-in manner, and the first end cover 3, the second end cover 4 and the third end cover 5 are all inserted with fastening screws 7 threadedly connected to the shell 1, which are used to assemble and disassemble the first end cover 3, the second end cover 4 and the third end cover 5 with the shell 1.

[0019] See also Figure 1-3 A mounting plate 9 is inserted at the top of the first end cover 3, and a locking pin 10 threadedly connected to the first end cover 3 is inserted on the mounting plate 9 for installing and removing the mounting plate 9. A hinge seat 11 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the mounting plate 9, and a hanging rod 12 rotatably connected to the hinge seat 11 can be rotated around the hinge seat 11, so that the suspended shell 1 is in a vertical state.

[0020] In addition, a wire hole 13 is provided on the first end cover 3 and located on the outer side of the mounting plate 9, so that the cable can pass through the first end cover 3. A rubber sleeve 14 is provided on the inner wall of the wire hole 13 to ensure the sealing between the rubber sleeve 14 and the outer surface of the cable.

[0021] See also Figure 1-3A sealing assembly 6 for sealing the shell 1 is provided on the shell 1, the first end cover 3, the second end cover 4 and the third end cover 5. The sealing assembly 6 includes an extension tube 61, a sealing ring 62, a protrusion 63 and a notch 64. The extension tube 61 is fixedly connected to the ends of the first end cover 3, the second end cover 4 and the third end cover 5. The extension tube 61 is plugged into the inner wall of the shell 1, and the sealing ring 62 is sleeved on the outer surface of the extension tube 61 and abuts against the inner wall of the shell 1. The sealing ring 62 is made of rubber and has elasticity. When the extension tube 61 enters the inner wall of the shell 1, there is stress between the sealing ring 62 and the inner wall of the shell 1, so that the sealing ring 62 abuts against the inner wall of the shell 1, thereby ensuring the sealing of the shell 1. A card slot 8 for sleeved with the sealing ring 62 is provided on the outer surface of the extension tube 61, and the sealing ring 62 can be stretched and sleeved on the inner wall of the card slot 8.

The shape of the protrusion 63 is annular, and the protrusion 63 and the notch 64 are correspondingly abutted, so that the connection between the protrusion 63 and the extension tube 61 is tighter, ensuring the sealing performance between the protrusion 63 and the extension tube 61. The notch 64 is an arc-shaped inclined surface, which increases the contact area and path between the protrusion 63 and the extension tube 61, and improves the sealing performance between the protrusion 63 and the extension tube 61.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the above embodiments are:

[0024] The shell for the ultrasonic sensor is provided with a sealing component 6. After the sealing component 6 is used, the extension tube 61 can extend the contact path between the outside and the inside of the shell 1, so that the mortar will be hindered from entering the inside of the shell 1. The sealing ring 62 is elastic. When the sealing ring 62 is pushed into the inner wall of the shell 1, it will abut against the inner wall of the shell 1, so that when the mortar flows into the gap between the extension tube 61 and the inner wall of the shell 1, it will be blocked by the sealing ring 62, and the protrusion 63 and the notch 64 abut each other, so that the tightness between the protrusion 63 and the notch 64 is more fitted, thereby improving the sealing between the inside of the shell 1 and the mortar, and preventing mud from flowing into the inside of the shell 1.
