[0032] Next, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the present utility model, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, this embodiment provides a high-pressure sensor for harsh environments. The high-pressure sensor has a multi-stage sealing structure and is suitable for direct installation and welding installation. Among them, the multi-stage sealing structure includes a welded sealing housing and at least two sealing grooves provided on the housing. A sealing ring is provided in the sealing groove to form a multi-stage sealing structure of welded sealing + sealing ring sealing.

[0034] The welded sealing housing includes a front-end welding surface 1, a middle-part welding surface 2, and a back-end welding surface 3 with suitable welding dimensions. The length of the welding surface is suitable for welding and will not cause excessive welding stress and cracking due to being too large. Among them, the diameter where the middle-part welding surface 2 is located is smaller than the outer diameter of the housing, forming a middle-part welding groove structure, so that the structure welded to the sensor can be coaxial with the sensor after welding, and at the same time, no welding convex surface will be generated, thereby improving the welding sealing performance. The back-end welding surface 3 provides a back-end welding usage method, which is suitable for usage environments with limited volume and expands the applicable range.

[0035] In this embodiment, a sensing core is encapsulated in the welded and sealed housing. At the corresponding position at the rear end of the welded and sealed housing, there are a plurality of ports such as a seal port 4, the negative excitation 11 of the chip, the positive signal output 12, the positive excitation 13, and the negative signal output 14; at the front end of the welded and sealed housing, there is a non-through threaded interface 5, which is more conducive to the convenient installation and disassembly of the filter compared with the optical hole in the prior art, so as to prevent sediment, water hammer, and high pressure during perforation operations; on one side of the sealing ring, there is a retaining ring 6, which can make the assembly allowable tolerance larger. Rounding corners 7 are provided at the end face and the corner of the sealing groove of the welded and sealed housing, and chamfers 8 are provided at the middle welded sealing surface and the end face of the threaded interface 5.

[0036] In this embodiment, there are two housing sealing grooves (sealing groove and sealing ring I 9, sealing groove and sealing ring II 10), which are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the middle welding surface 2.

[0037] Embodiment Two:

[0038] As Figure 3 shown, it is basically the same as Embodiment One, the difference is:

[0039] There are two sealing grooves (sealing groove and sealing ring I 9, sealing groove and sealing ring II 10), and they are arranged on the same side (rear side) of the middle welding surface 2, forming a rear double-sealing structure.

[0040] Embodiment Three:

[0041] As Figure 4 shown, it is basically the same as Embodiment One, the difference is:

[0042] A transition section 21 is provided at the front end of the welded and sealed housing. The transition section 21 can cooperate with the transition ring 300 (as Figure 13 shown). Adding the transition ring 300 can avoid welding cracking. A sealing groove and a sealing ring (i.e., sealing groove and sealing ring III 20) are provided on the transition section 21. When the materials of the sensor 100 housing and the sensor seat 200 housing are different, direct welding of the two is likely to crack. 316L is a commonly used sensor housing material, and 17-4ph is a commonly used sensor seat material. By adding a transition ring 300 made of inconel718 high-nickel-based material, it can ensure that the welding does not crack and the seal is complete.

[0043] Embodiment Four:

[0044] As Figure 5 、 Figure 6 shown, it is basically the same as Embodiment One, the difference is:

[0045] Two sensing cores are encapsulated in the welded and sealed housing, one of which is used as a backup. At the corresponding positions at the rear end of the welded and sealed housing, there are ports such as the negative excitation 31 of core one, the positive signal output 32 of core one, the positive excitation 33 of core one, the negative signal output 34 of core one, the negative excitation 41 of core two, the positive signal output 42 of core two, the positive excitation 43 of core two, and the negative signal output 44 of core two. Moreover, a stress relief groove 22 is provided on the welded and sealed housing.

[0046] The sensor of the present application forms a multi-stage sealing structure through the welded and sealed housing and at least two sealing grooves and sealing rings provided on the housing, with good airtightness and durability, and extends the service life of the sensor; through the settings of the front welding surface, middle welding surface, and rear welding surface on the welded and sealed housing, the sensor 100 can be directly installed with the sensor seat 200 (as Figure 7 shown) or welded and installed (as Figures 8 to 13 shown), and the welding joint is suitable for the welding size, will not cause excessive welding stress due to being too large, the welding part is not prone to cracks, and can maintain coaxiality after welding, and at the same time also expands the applicable environmental range.

[0047] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present invention. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
