[0002] The cylindrical capacitive sensor is a widely used capacitive sensor, and its working principle, characteristics and application fields are all relatively unique. The cylindrical capacitive sensor includes a cylindrical metal shell and two metal electrodes wound inside. The electrodes are isolated from each other and are at a certain distance from the measured target object. When an object approaches the electrode, it will affect the electric field, resulting in a change in capacitance. The change in capacitance is inversely proportional to the distance between the object and the electrode. Therefore, the distance or position between the object and the electrode can be determined by measuring the change in capacitance.

[0003] At present, external threads are provided on the outer side of the cylindrical capacitive sensor, which are mainly used for screwing nuts during installation. In the prior art, when installing a capacitor, generally a nut is screwed on each side of the installation position, so as to be screwed and fastened from both sides. However, in some use scenarios, vibrations are likely to occur, and the threaded connection is prone to looseness, which not only affects the stability of the capacitor but also affects the sealing performance, and further affects the use.

[0004] Therefore, it is very necessary to propose a cylindrical capacitive sensor to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0011] Preferably, a stop bar for blocking the driving slider is fixedly provided at one end of the inner side of the through slot away from the mounting slot, and a notch corresponding to the stop bar is provided at one end of the driving slider away from the mounting slot.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0024] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and functions of the present utility model easy to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] As Figures 1-6 shown, the cylindrical capacitive sensor includes a capacitive sensor body 1. An external thread 2 is provided on the outer side of the capacitive sensor body 1. A fastening nut 3 is provided on the outer side of the capacitive sensor body 1, and an internal thread 5 adapted to the external thread 2 is provided on the inner side of the fastening nut 3. Thus, the fastening nut 3 and the capacitive sensor body 1 are connected by threads;

[0026] Different from the prior art, a reinforcing component is provided on the fastening nut 3, and the reinforcing component includes a mounting groove 7 arranged at the top of the fastening nut 3, and the mounting groove 7 is vertically movably connected with a lifting ring 9, and a force groove 19 is provided at the bottom of the lifting ring 9, and a through groove 8 corresponding to the force groove 19 is provided on the side of the fastening nut 3. The number of through grooves 8 is the same as the number of side walls of the fastening nut 3 and corresponds one to one. The through groove 8 is laterally movably connected with a driving slider 13, and one end of the driving slider 13 cooperates with the inner wall inclined surface of the force groove 19, and is configured so that the lifting ring 9 moves upward when the driving slider 13 moves in the axial direction of the fastening nut 3. A spring 11 is vertically provided on the top of the lifting ring 9, and the top of the fastening nut 3 is fixed. A cover plate 4 for covering the mounting groove 7 is fixedly provided on the bottom, and the upper end of the spring 11 is fixedly provided on the bottom of the cover plate 4, so that the spring 11 is compressed when the lifting ring 9 moves upward, and a resistance column 15 is vertically provided on the bottom of the lifting ring 9, and the bottom of the fastening nut 3 is evenly provided with through holes 17 corresponding to the resistance columns 15, and the resistance columns 15 are movably connected with the through holes 17, and the bottom of the resistance column 15 protrudes from the bottom of the fastening nut 3 in the initial state of the spring 11, and an arc-shaped force-bearing protrusion 6 is provided on the side of the driving slider 13 away from the mounting groove 7, and the force-bearing protrusion 6 is used to cooperate with the wrench, and the force-bearing protrusion 6 protrudes from the side wall of the fastening nut 3 in the initial state of the spring 11.

[0027] Furthermore, a stop bar 10 for blocking the driving slider 13 is fixedly provided at one end of the inner side of the through slot 8 away from the mounting slot 7 , and a notch 18 corresponding to the stop bar 10 is provided at one end of the driving slider 13 away from the mounting slot 7 .

[0028] Furthermore, it also includes a rolling component, which includes blind holes 16 evenly arranged at the bottom of the fastening nut 3, and fixed blocks 14 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the inner side of the blind hole 16. The two fixed blocks 14 on the inner side of each blind hole 16 are symmetrically arranged on the opposite side of the arc groove 12, and the arc groove 12 is movably connected with a ball 20, and the bottom of the ball 20 protrudes from the bottom of the fastening nut 3.

[0029] It should be noted that the utility model is a cylindrical capacitance sensor. When the capacitance sensor body 1 is inserted into place, the two fastening nuts 3 are respectively threadedly connected to the outer sides of the upper and lower ends of the capacitance sensor body 1, and the fastening nuts 3 are screwed so that the two fastening nuts 3 are close to each other and fastened to the two sides of the installation position. When the wrench is set on the outer side of the fastening nuts 3, it will conflict with one of the pairs of oppositely arranged force-bearing protrusions 6, and then the force-bearing protrusions 6 are driven by the pressure of the wrench to drive the driving slider 13 to move inward, and the driving slider 13 is inclined with the force-bearing groove 19. The surfaces are matched, so that the lifting ring 9 moves upward and compresses the spring 11, and then the bottom of the abutment column 15 is hidden in the through hole 17. When the fastening nut 3 is tightened and the wrench is loosened, the spring 11 is reset, and then the abutment column 15 will come into conflict with the installation part. Under the directional force, the pressure between the external thread 2 and the internal thread 5 increases, which can greatly reduce the possibility of loosening. Moreover, when contact is made when tightened to the installation part, the ball 20 can directly contact it. As the fastening nut 3 rotates, the ball 20 rolls, which reduces friction and reduces damage.

[0030] The above shows and describes the basic principle and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected. The scope of protection claimed by the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
