[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas detectors, especially to the field of automatic production and assembly, and specifically refers to a connection structure between a gas sensor and a signal processing main board. Background Art

[0002] Gas detectors are widely used in important fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, food, pharmaceutical, metallurgy, gas, electric power, environmental protection, etc. to ensure personal safety and safe production, and to monitor combustible or toxic and harmful dangerous gases leaked in the production process and storage and transportation facilities.

[0003] A gas detector consists of two major modules, an intelligent gas sensor module and a signal processing main board module. The electrical connection between these two parts is generally realized by a flexible cable connector. Due to the structural form of the gas detector, the sensor and the signal processing main board are generally in a vertical state and separated by a certain distance. Moreover, due to the requirements of intrinsically safe explosion-proof design for this part of the connection, potting and encapsulation are required for a certain distance. Therefore, the following problems exist:

[0004] 1. Due to its form, it is very difficult to achieve batch assembly in automatic production for flexible cables;

[0005] 2. During the assembly process of flexible cables, the outer protective layer is easily scratched by the metal shell, affecting reliability;

[0006] 3. When potting flexible cables, it is necessary to meet the relevant requirements of explosion-proof potting. There needs to be a gap between the cables, resulting in a complex potting process and low production efficiency;

[0007] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a connection method between a gas sensor and a signal processing main board to solve the problems existing in the connection reliability, automatic assembly efficiency, equipment production cost, and low efficiency between the two. Content of the Utility Model

[0008] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art and provide a connection structure between a gas sensor and a signal processing main board.

[0009] In order to achieve the above purpose, the connection structure between a gas sensor and a signal processing main board of the utility model is specifically as follows:

[0010] The connection structure between the gas sensor and the signal processing main board is mainly characterized in that the connection structure includes:

[0011] A signal processing main board arranged inside the gas detector, and a gas sensor vertically connected to the signal processing main board through a connection circuit board. Among them, an elastic connecting piece is arranged between the signal processing main board and the connection circuit board.

[0012] Preferably, a PCBA board is further provided on the signal processing main board, and the PCBA board is used for patch or plug-in soldering; and

[0013] A sensor adapter board is further provided on the connection circuit board.

[0014] Preferably, the elastic connecting member is specifically:

[0015] The POGO Pin provided on the PCBA board; and

[0016] The gold-plated fingers provided on the sensor adapter board;

[0018] Preferably, a sensor is provided inside the gas sensor, and the sensor is connected to the sensor adapter board.

[0019] Preferably, a cable glue-sealing section is provided between the connection gaps of the connection circuit board and the gas detector, and the cable glue-sealing section is used for explosion protection.

[0020] With the connection structure between the gas sensor and the signal processing main board of the present utility model, by using the connection method of POGO Pin and gold-plated fingers between the gas sensor and the signal processing main board, the problems of reduced reliability caused by damage to the cable insulation layer due to stress during the production process of the flexible cable, complex automated production methods, and high production costs are overcome. At the same time, since the potting process required for explosion protection is simplified, there is no need to separate the multi-strand flexible cable, and the gold finger board can be directly potted, thereby greatly improving the glue potting efficiency and achieving the effect of saving energy.
