For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 4 The specific implementation manner of the communication connection component of the sensor and the refrigerant sensor of the utility model is described.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the utility model provides a communication connection assembly of a sensor, comprising: a socket part 110, which is arranged on the housing 100 of the refrigerant sensor, the socket part 110 is provided with a plug slot 111 open to the outside, and a plug pin 112 connected to the communication module of the refrigerant sensor is arranged in the plug slot 111; a communication cable 120, the end of the communication cable 120 is provided with a plug part 121 adapted to the shape of the plug slot 111, and the plug part 121 is provided with a jack 122 corresponding to the pin 112; in the connected state of the communication connection assembly, the plug part 121 of the communication cable 120 is plugged and matched with the plug slot 111 of the socket part 110, and the pin 112 is plugged and matched with the jack 122, so that the communication module is connected to the communication cable 120. Through the matching of the socket part 110 and the plug slot 111 with the plug part 121 of the communication cable 120 and its jack 122, the detachable connection between the communication module and the communication cable 120 is realized.

[0028] Specifically, the socket part 110 is arranged on the refrigerant sensor housing 100, and has a plug slot 111 open to the outside. The plug slot 111 is provided with pins 112, which are directly connected to the communication module in the refrigerant sensor. The function of the socket part 110 is to provide a physical interface for the communication cable 120 so as to realize the communication connection between the communication module and the external line. The communication cable 120 is used to transmit data, and one end of the communication cable 120 is provided with a plug part 121, and the shape of the plug part 121 matches the plug slot 111 of the socket part 110. The end of the plug part 121 is provided with a jack 122, and the position and number of the jack 122 correspond to the pins 112 in the socket part 110, ensuring that the two can be accurately connected. When the communication connection assembly is in a connected state, the plug portion 121 of the communication cable 120 is inserted into the plug slot 111 of the socket portion 110 on the refrigerant sensor housing 100, and the plug hole 122 of the plug portion 121 is precisely aligned with the pin 112 of the socket portion 110 to form a plug-in fit.

[0029] Through the above communication connection assembly, the disassembly and replacement of the communication cable 120 is relatively simple and quick, and can be completed without complex tools or professional knowledge. It is also convenient for maintenance personnel to quickly diagnose and repair faults, reducing maintenance costs. In addition, this connection method of independently setting plug-in communication connections also allows the length of the communication cable 120 to be flexibly adjusted, improving the adaptability of the installation and the overall performance of the system.

[0030] According to a communication connection assembly of a sensor of the utility model, the plug part 121 of the communication cable 120 is further refined to enhance the reliability and environmental adaptability of the connection. The plug part 121 preferably includes a wiring terminal and an insertion terminal; the wiring terminal is connected to the communication cable 120, and the jack 122 is arranged at the insertion terminal; a sealing ring 123 is arranged between the wiring terminal and the insertion terminal; in the connected state, the sealing ring 123 is sealed and matched with the plug slot 111.

[0031] Specifically, in order to improve the protection level of waterproof and dustproof, a sealing ring 123 is provided between the wiring terminal and the insertion end. When the plug part 121 is plugged into the socket part 110, the sealing ring 123 will be in close contact with the plug slot 111 of the socket part 110 to form a sealed fit. This sealing design can effectively prevent the influence of external factors such as water vapor and dust on the communication connection, ensuring that the communication connection can maintain good stability and reliability even in harsh environments.

[0032] For better sealing performance, it is preferred to set a multiple sealing structure. According to a communication connection assembly of a sensor of the utility model, multiple sealing rings 123 are evenly distributed in the length direction of the plug part 121. When the plug part 121 is matched with the plug slot 111 of the socket part 110, the multiple sealing rings 123 will form multiple sealing barriers at different positions, significantly improving the waterproof and dustproof capabilities.

[0033] Or in another embodiment, the sealing ring 123 has a progressive layered structure, and in the length direction of the plug part 121, the sealing ring 123 is provided with a plurality of annular protrusions 124 for sealingly cooperating with the plug slot 111. The sealing ring 123 itself has a plurality of annular protrusions 124, and these protrusions are arranged along the length direction of the plug part 121. Each annular protrusion 124 can form an independent sealing cooperation with the inner wall of the plug slot 111, which is similar to the effect of multiple sealing rings 123, but is achieved by a single sealing ring 123, reducing the number of components and simplifying the assembly process.

[0034] In order to enhance the stability between the plug portion 121 and the socket portion 110, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to a communication connection assembly of a sensor of the utility model, a stepped structure 113 is formed on the inner side wall of the plug slot 111. In the connected state, the insertion end is inserted between the stepped structures 113, and the stepped structure 113 stops at one side of the sealing ring 123. When the plug part 121 and the socket part 110 form a connected state, the insertion end of the plug part 121 can be accurately embedded between these stepped structures 113. When the insertion end is fully inserted, one side of the stepped structure 113 will be in close contact with the sealing ring 123, forming a physical stop, thereby ensuring that the plug part 121 will not go too deep.

[0035] In order to improve the accuracy and convenience of the connection between the plug part 121 and the socket part 110, according to a communication connection component of a sensor of the utility model, the inner surface of at least one side of the step structure 113 is provided with a guide ridge 114; the insertion end is provided with a guide slot 125 adapted to the guide ridge 114. The cooperation between the guide ridge 114 and the guide slot 125 can help automatically calibrate the position of the pin 112 and the socket 122 during the insertion of the plug part 121 into the socket part 110, ensuring that the two can be accurately docked. Moreover, the specific shape and position relationship between the guide ridge 114 and the guide slot 125 can also assist the operator in determining the correct insertion direction of the plug part 121. In actual operation, only when the plug part 121 is inserted at the correct angle and direction, the guide slot 125 can slide smoothly along the guide ridge 114, thereby avoiding the situation of reverse or wrong direction insertion, simplifying the installation steps, and reducing the difficulty of maintenance.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to a communication connection assembly of a sensor of the present invention, a chamfered structure 115 is provided at the open end of the plug slot 111, and the chamfered structure 115 forms a wide-angle shape at the open end of the plug slot 111. The chamfered structure 115 at the open end of the plug slot 111 not only simplifies the installation process of the plug part 121 and improves the convenience and efficiency of the operation, but also reduces the potential risks of the sealing ring 123 during the docking process, thereby enhancing the overall performance and reliability of the communication connection assembly.

[0037] Specifically, the sealing ring 123 needs to form a tight fit with the inner wall of the plug slot 111 to achieve the best sealing effect. The guiding effect of the chamfered structure 115 ensures that the sealing ring 123 can easily enter the sealing area of ​​the plug slot 111 when the plug part 121 is inserted. In addition, since the sealing ring 123 is usually made of a material with a certain elasticity, the friction during the insertion process may cause unnecessary pressure or damage to it, thereby affecting the integrity and sealing performance of the sealing ring 123. The chamfered structure 115 reduces the friction resistance of the sealing ring 123 during the installation process through its smooth transition surface, protecting the sealing ring 123 from damage. The wide-angle transition surface formed by the chamfered structure 115 at the open end of the plug slot 111 can be a wedge-shaped surface or an arc-shaped surface as shown in the figure.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, according to a communication connection assembly of a sensor of the present invention, the socket part 110 is provided with a limiting protrusion 116, and the plug part 121 is provided with a buckle 126, and the buckle 126 has a locking groove 127 adapted to the limiting protrusion 116. In the connected state, the locking groove 127 of the buckle 126 forms a limiting fit with the limiting protrusion 116, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection and preventing the plug part 121 from being loosened due to external forces (such as vibration or accidental collision). The limiting fit ensures the stability of the connection. When disassembly is required, the operator only needs to apply appropriate force to release the buckle 126 to easily separate the plug part 121 from the socket part 110.

[0039] In the above structure, the limiting protrusion 116 can be arranged on the inner side wall of the plug slot 111 of the socket part 110, and when the plug part 121 is inserted into the plug slot 111, the buckle 126 will enter the plug slot 111 together with the plug part 121. During the connection process, the locking groove 127 on the buckle 126 is naturally aligned with the limiting protrusion 116 and forms a limiting fit, ensuring that the plug part 121 and the socket part 110 are firmly combined.

[0040] According to a preferred communication connection assembly of a sensor of the utility model, the buckle 126 can be connected to the plug part 121 through the elastic arm 128, and the limiting protrusion 116 is arranged on the outer surface of the socket part 110. In the connected state, the buckle 126 forms a limiting fit with the limiting protrusion 116 on the outer side of the socket part 110. Specifically, when the plug part 121 is inserted into the socket part 110, the buckle 126 can be temporarily deformed due to the elastic characteristics of the elastic arm 128 until the plug part 121 is fully in place. At this time, the buckle 126 forms a limiting fit with the limiting protrusion 116 on the outer side of the socket part 110, the elastic arm 128 returns to its original state, and the locking groove 127 of the buckle 126 is in close contact with the limiting protrusion 116, thereby locking the position of the plug part 121.

[0041] Preferably, limiting baffles may be provided on both sides of the limiting protrusion 116 to assist the locking groove 127 of the buckle 126 to align with the limiting protrusion 116 and prevent the buckle 126 from shaking. In addition, a ramp structure is preferably provided on the outer side of the limiting protrusion 116 so that the buckle 126 can be automatically lifted along the ramp structure during the insertion process of the plug part 121.

[0042] The refrigerant sensor provided by the present invention is described below. The refrigerant sensor described below and the communication connection assembly of the sensor described above can be referenced to each other.

[0043] The utility model also provides a refrigerant sensor, which is provided with a communication connection component of the sensor of any of the above embodiments. Preferably, a socket portion 110 is provided on the housing 100 of the refrigerant sensor, and the socket portion 110 has a plug slot 111 open to the outside, and is internally equipped with a pin 112 connected to the sensor communication module, providing a stable basis for the connection of the communication cable 120. A plug portion 121 matching the plug slot 111 of the socket portion 110 is designed at one end of the communication cable 120, and the plug portion 121 contains a jack 122 corresponding to the pin 112 of the socket portion 110, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the electrical connection. At the connection between the plug portion 121 and the socket portion 110, a sealing ring 123 with a progressive layered sealing structure is adopted to effectively prevent interference from external factors such as moisture and dust, and ensure the environmental adaptability of the connection component and the continuity of signal transmission. According to the cooperation between the guide ridge 114 and the guide groove 125 as well as the locking design of the limiting protrusion 116 and the buckle 126 as described above, not only the connection process is simplified and the assembly accuracy is improved, but also the firmness of the connection is ensured, avoiding loose connection due to external vibration or impact.

[0044] According to a refrigerant sensor of the utility model, a power module is provided; the power module includes a battery assembly integrated in the refrigerant sensor, or the power module includes a power supply line independent of the communication connection assembly. Specifically, in one embodiment, the power module includes a battery assembly integrated in the refrigerant sensor. This design means that the sensor itself carries a power supply and does not require external power supply, making the deployment of the sensor more flexible and not restricted by the location of the power supply. The battery assembly is preferably a 5V power module. In another embodiment, the power module includes a power supply line independent of the communication connection assembly. The separate power supply method avoids possible interference caused by the integration of the power supply line and the communication line, such as the influence of voltage fluctuations or electromagnetic interference on signal transmission. Independent power supply makes the length selection of the communication cable 120 more free and not constrained by power supply requirements, thereby optimizing the installation layout, reducing signal attenuation, and improving communication quality.

[0045] Through the above implementation, the refrigerant sensor of the utility model not only provides diversity in power supply mode, but also solves the limitations of power supply and communication integration in traditional sensors. Whether it is a self-sufficient mode with a built-in battery component or a separate power supply through an independent power supply line, it can ensure that the performance of the communication connection component is not affected by power supply factors, providing users with a more stable, efficient and adaptable sensor solution.
