[0002] A force measuring sensor is a basic mechanical sensor widely used in the fields of industrial production, military equipment, aerospace, navigation, etc. Most of its measurement principles are based on the technology of resistance strain gauges. The strain caused by the elastic body of the resistance strain gauge is converted into the resistance change of the resistance strain gauge, and then the resistance change is converted into a voltage signal through a Wheatstone bridge.

[0003] For example, the Chinese utility model provides a "waterproof device for a force measuring sensor and a force measuring sensor" with the patent number: CN207600650 U, which includes a waterproof housing and a head sealing structure. The waterproof housing includes a cylinder body that is adaptively sleeved on the sensor body of the force measuring sensor and a bottom cover that is hermetically fixed at the bottom end of the cylinder body and abuts against the bottom end of the sensor body. An opening is formed in the middle of the top wall of the cylinder body, and a wire outlet hole for the cable of the force measuring sensor to extend out is formed in the side wall of the cylinder body. The head sealing structure includes a sealing block and a first sealing ring. The sealing block includes a base and a pressing part that extends upward from the middle of the base. The sealing block is arranged on the upper part of the cylinder body and is abutted upward by the head of the force measuring sensor.
