[0030] The signal processing circuit (ie, signal acquisition chip) of a conventional infrared sensor is usually disposed on the surface of the base, and a large variety of supporting components are disposed on the surface of the base, which greatly reduces the integration and reliability of the sensor.

[0031] This utility model proposes an infrared sensor, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the infrared sensor comprises:

[0032] A base 1, wherein the base 1 is provided with a first cavity 14;

[0033] A housing 2, wherein the housing 2 is provided with an opening and covers the base 1 to enclose the base 1 to form a second cavity 15, and a light entrance 12 is provided on a side of the housing 2 away from the housing 2;

[0034] The light sensing component 3 is disposed in the second cavity 15 and is disposed at a position corresponding to the light entrance 12. The light sensing component 3 is used to receive an external infrared signal through the light entrance 12, process and generate a corresponding infrared sensing signal, and then output the signal;

[0035] The signal acquisition chip 4 is disposed in the first cavity 14 of the base 1 and is electrically connected to the light sensing component 3. The signal acquisition chip 4 is used to receive the infrared sensing signal and perform signal processing to generate an infrared acquisition signal.

[0036] In this embodiment, the shell 2 can be set according to the installation requirements of the light sensing component 3 and the signal acquisition chip 4. An opening is provided at one end of the shell 2 facing the base 1, and the shell 2 is covered on the base 1 through the opening. In this way, the shell 2 and the base 1 are enclosed to form a second cavity 15. A light inlet 12 is provided on the side of the shell 2 facing away from the shell 2, so that infrared light emitted from the outside can be irradiated into the surface of the base 1 through the light inlet 12.

[0037] The light sensing component 3 can be implemented by a ceramic sensing chip. The ceramic sensing chip 2 is arranged in the second cavity 15 of the shell 2 and is arranged toward the light entrance 12, so that the infrared light of the external environment can be irradiated to the ceramic sensing chip 2 through the light entrance 12. The ceramic sensing chip is electrically connected to the signal acquisition chip 43. When the ceramic sensing chip 2 senses the infrared signal of the infrared light, it generates an infrared sensing signal and outputs it to the signal acquisition chip 43. In this way, the infrared sensing signal can be processed quickly and accurately, reducing signal delay and distortion.

[0038] The signal acquisition chip 4 can be a TSOP packaged or SOP packaged chip set in the first cavity 14 of the base 11, which can effectively reduce the volume of the base 1 and make the infrared sensor more integrated. The signal acquisition chip 4 can be connected to the light sensing component 3 by a metal body or a cable, so that the signal acquisition chip 4 can receive infrared sensing signals and perform signal processing to generate infrared acquisition signals, thereby realizing the function of collecting infrared rays and transmitting them to the outside world for processing the infrared acquisition signals.

[0039] The entire operation process of the infrared sensor in the above embodiment is as follows: infrared light enters through the light inlet 12 of the shell 2 and is received by the light sensing component 3, and the infrared sensing signal subsequently generated is processed by the signal acquisition chip 4 and converted into an electrical signal output. Since the signal acquisition chip 4 is arranged in the first cavity 14 of the base 1, the integration and reliability of the sensor are effectively improved.

[0040] In one embodiment, the base 1 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 5 connected to the first cavity 14 , and the signal acquisition chip 4 is provided with a plurality of pins 6 , one end of each of the plurality of pins 6 passes through the mounting holes 5 and protrudes from the end surface of the base 1 .

[0041] In this embodiment, the base 1 is further provided with a plurality of mounting holes 5 communicating with the first cavity 14. The signal acquisition chip 4 is provided with a plurality of pins 6 capable of receiving power and transmitting infrared acquisition signals to the outside. One ends of the plurality of pins 6 all penetrate through the mounting holes 5 and protrude from the end face of the base 1. Thus, a certain height difference is formed between the end face of the base 1 and the pins 6. When the infrared sensor is integrated on the circuit board, the height difference can prevent the circuit board from directly contacting the infrared sensor, conduct the temperature on the circuit board to the infrared sensor, avoid the signal acquisition chip 4 from being heated for a long time, and avoid the influence of the infrared sensor directly contacting the circuit board and being heated on the performance of the signal acquisition chip 4 when collecting infrared signals, ensure that the signal acquisition chip 4 can normally sense infrared signals, improve the accuracy of collecting infrared signals, and extend the service life of the signal acquisition chip 4.

[0042] In one embodiment, the base 1 is further provided with at least one connection hole 7, and a conductive part 8 is arranged in the connection hole 7. The signal acquisition chip 4 is electrically connected to the light sensing component 3 through the conductive part 8.

[0043] In this embodiment, the base 1 is provided with at least one connection hole 7, the conductive part 8 is arranged in the connection hole 7, one end of the conductive part 8 protruding from the connection hole 7 and facing the housing 2 is connected to the ceramic induction chip, and the other end of the conductive part 8 protruding from the connection hole 7 and arranged in the first cavity 14 is connected to the signal acquisition chip 4. Thus, the signal acquisition chip 4 can receive the infrared induction signal of the ceramic induction chip.

[0044] In one embodiment, the number of the connection holes 7 is two, the number of the conductive parts 8 is two, the two connection holes 7 are arranged at intervals, and the two conductive parts 8 are respectively arranged in the two connection holes 7 to form a conductive bracket 9 for electrically connecting with the light sensing component 3.

[0045] In this embodiment, the base 1 is provided with two connection holes 7, the number of the conductive parts 8 is set to two, the two connection holes 7 are arranged at intervals, and the two conductive parts 8 are respectively arranged in the two connection holes 7 to form a conductive bracket 9 for electrically connecting with the ceramic induction chip. Thus, the other end of the conductive bracket 9 protruding from the connection hole 7 and arranged in the first cavity 14 is connected to the signal acquisition chip 4, and one end of the conductive bracket 9 protruding from the connection hole 7 and facing the housing 2 is connected to the ceramic induction chip. Among them, the ceramic induction chip can be connected to the end face of one end, or can be embedded into the protruding part of the conductive bracket 9 protruding from the connection hole 7 and facing the housing 2. However, when the ceramic induction chip is connected to the end face of one end, the contact surface between the conductive bracket 9 and the ceramic induction chip is the largest contact surface, and the infrared induction signal can be more stably and effectively transmitted into the signal acquisition chip 4.

[0046] In one embodiment, the base 1 is convexly provided with a boss 10, and the edge of the boss 10 abuts against the end face of the housing 2.

[0048] In one embodiment, the infrared sensor further includes a filter 11, the light inlet 12 is arranged on the end face of the housing 2, and the filter 11 is embedded in the light inlet 12.

[0049] In this embodiment, the light inlet 12 of the housing 2 is arranged on the end face of the housing 2, and the light inlet 12 faces the base 1, so that the infrared signal can directly irradiate into the ceramic induction chip arranged on the base 1 through the light inlet 12. By embedding the filter 11 in the light inlet 12, when the filter 11 is set as an infrared filter 11, it can effectively filter out the light other than infrared light, so that the infrared sensor can generate an infrared acquisition signal more accurately. And when the filter 11 is embedded from the inner wall of the housing 2 to the end face of the housing 2 and has a certain gap with the end face of the housing 2, it can effectively reduce the surface of the infrared filter 11 from being scratched or polluted during transportation or encapsulation.

[0050] In one embodiment, the periphery of the end face of the housing 2 is recessed inward, and the light inlet 12 is arranged on the axis of the end face of the housing 2.

[0051] In this embodiment, the periphery of the end face of the housing 2 is recessed inward, and the light inlet 12 is arranged on the axis of the end face of the housing 2, so that the light inlet 12 can focus and collect light from different directions. When the infrared filter 11 is arranged at the light inlet 12, it can effectively avoid scratching the infrared filter 11 when clamping and encapsulating and when the clamping tool comes into clamping contact with the infrared filter 11, so as to effectively maintain the optical performance of the infrared filter 11.

[0052] In one embodiment, the housing 2 is provided as a cylinder.

[0053] In this embodiment, the shell 2 is provided with a cylinder, which can better resist external interference. For example, in complex environments, such as industrial control or outdoor scenes, the sensor needs to be able to ignore interference from non-target signals, such as other heat sources or light changes. The cylindrical shell helps to focus on the target signal, thereby improving the anti-interference performance; and the cylindrical shell is more efficient in space utilization. The internal components of the infrared sensor can be arranged around the central axis to optimize space use and reduce internal interference. This layout also facilitates automation and standardization in the production process, which is conducive to reducing costs and improving production efficiency.

[0054] In one embodiment, the housing 2 is further provided with a positioning block 13 for positioning the cylindrical housing 2 during packaging.
