Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sensor installation, in particular to a sensor installation anti-loosening device. Background Art
[0002] At present, gas sensors are fixed by welding any one pin to prevent the gas sensor from loosening due to external factors, or by plugging and unplugging. Gas sensors can be divided into diffusion type and pump suction type.
[0003] When the pump-suction probe is in use, current flows through the gas sensor pins when the product is working normally. If one pin is soldered and the product is affected by external forces, the other three pins of the gas sensor may become suspended. If the gas sensor operates in this state for a long time, the service life of the gas sensor will be greatly shortened.
[0004] Diffusion sensors add a welding process during the production process, which increases manpower and material costs; if employees sometimes perform welding operations improperly, it will also increase the risk of product failure. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solution, which discloses a sensor installation anti-loosening device, comprising: two sets of probe bases, the tops of the two sets of probe bases are movably mounted with gas sensors, and the two sets of gas sensors are respectively mounted on the two sets of probe bases by welding and plugging, the outer surface of one of the two sets of gas sensors is sleeved with a thickened sensor protection cover, and the thickened sensor protection cover is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the probe base;
[0007] The outer surface of the other gas sensor in the two groups of gas sensors is sleeved with a visual sensor protection cover, and the top of the inner wall of the visual sensor protection cover is fixedly installed with a white waterproof and breathable membrane;
[0008] The tops of the two groups of probe rod bases are movably installed with columnar stainless steel springs and tower-type stainless steel springs, and the columnar stainless steel springs and tower-type stainless steel springs are respectively sleeved on the outer surface of the gas sensor. The columnar stainless steel springs are located inside the thickened sensor protective cover, and the tower-type stainless steel springs are located inside the visual sensor protective cover.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a PCB small circular plate assembly is provided at the bottom of the gas sensor, and the PCB small circular plate assembly is engaged and connected to the inside of the probe base.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a sensor uses an anti-loosening device installed:
[0026] It comprises: two groups of probe rod bases 1: gas sensors 2 are movably installed on the tops of the two groups of probe rod bases 1, and the two groups of gas sensors 2 are installed on the two groups of probe rod bases 1 by welding and plugging respectively; the outer surface of one group of gas sensors 2 in the two groups of gas sensors 2 is sleeved with a thickened sensor protection cover 5, and the thickened sensor protection cover 5 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the probe rod base 1; the outer surface of the other group of gas sensors 2 in the two groups of gas sensors 2 is sleeved with a visual sensor protection cover 6, and a white waterproof breathable membrane 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner wall of the visual sensor protection cover 6; a columnar stainless steel spring 4 and a tower-shaped stainless steel spring 11 are movably installed on the tops of the two groups of probe rod bases 1, and the columnar stainless steel spring 4 and the tower-shaped stainless steel spring 11 are respectively sleeved on the outer surfaces of the gas sensors 2, the columnar stainless steel spring 4 is located inside the thickened sensor protection cover 5, and the tower-shaped stainless steel spring 11 is located inside the visual sensor protection cover 6;
[0027] The gas sensor 2 in the pump-suction probe is installed by plugging, while the gas sensor 2 in the diffusion probe is installed by welding.
[0028] The probe base 1 is designed to accommodate different spring structures and the outer surface structure of the gas sensor 2, allowing it to be used as a pump-suction probe and a diffusion probe. A cylindrical stainless steel spring 4 is placed inside a thickened sensor protection cover 5 on the gas sensor 2 in the pump-suction probe. The compressed spring 4 exerts a downward pressure on the gas sensor 2, ensuring good contact and uniform force on its four corners. Furthermore, the pins of the gas sensor 2 do not need to be welded.
[0029] A tower-shaped stainless steel spring 11 is placed inside the visual sensor protection cover 6 of the gas sensor 2 in the diffusion probe. The gas sensor 2 is naturally pressed by the rebound force after the elastic force of the tower-shaped stainless steel spring 11 is compressed, thereby greatly avoiding the risk of the sensor loosening.
[0030] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 ;
[0031] A first O-ring 7 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the visual sensor protection cover 6, a second O-ring 8 is fixedly mounted on the top of the visual sensor protection cover 6, a Luer metal connector 9 is provided on the top of the second O-ring 8, and both the visual sensor protection cover 6 and the second O-ring 8 are threadedly connected to the outer surface of the Luer metal connector 9;
[0032] By disposing the first O-ring 7 and the second O-ring 8 , the sealing performance of the upper and lower connections of the visual sensor protection cover 6 can be enhanced, thereby assisting the installation of the visual sensor protection cover 6 to protect the internal gas sensor 2 .
[0033] A PCB small circular plate assembly 3 is provided at the bottom of the gas sensor 2, and the PCB small circular plate assembly 3 is embedded and connected to the inside of the probe base 1;
[0034] The PCB small circular plate assembly 3 is provided as a connecting structure between the gas sensor 2 and the probe base 1 to assist in the installation of the gas sensor 2.
[0035] See also Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 :
[0036] The diffusion probe includes: a probe base 1, a gas sensor 2, a thickened sensor protection cover 5, a probe base 1, a PCB small circular plate assembly 3, and a cylindrical stainless steel spring 4; the pump-suction probe includes: a probe base 1, a gas sensor 2, a visual sensor protection cover 6, a PCB small circular plate assembly 3, a tower-shaped stainless steel spring 11, a first O-ring 7, a second O-ring 8, a Luer metal connector 9, and a white waterproof and breathable membrane 10.
[0037] The difference between the pump-suction probe and the diffusion probe is due to their different composition structures. The internal thickened sensor protection cover 5 and the visual sensor protection cover 6 are different in structure, and the anti-loosening spring structure used inside is different. A columnar stainless steel spring 4 and a tower stainless steel spring 11 structure are used to protect the gas sensor 2 respectively.
[0038] Working principle;
[0039] The diffusion probe is placed in a potentially leaking methane or other fuel gas environment. The probe is then moved manually or by natural means, allowing the gas surrounding the visual sensor protective cover 6 to contact the gas sensor 2 inside the cover through the air holes. Software is then used to calculate and identify the gas composition and concentration. During this process, the gas sensor 2 must maintain good contact, otherwise it will not function.
[0040] The pump-suction probe is a product where the probe part of the product is placed in a gas such as methane that may leak. The gas around the probe is quickly sucked into the thickened sensor protection cover 5 by pumping, so that it contacts the gas sensor 2. The software then calculates and identifies the contact gas composition and concentration. During this process, the gas sensor 2 must maintain good contact status, otherwise it will not work.
[0041] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
