Description

Technical Field

[0002] A position sensor is a sensor that can sense the position of an object being measured and convert it into a usable output signal. It can be used to detect position and reflect the state of a switch.

[0003] When detecting the position of a linear stroke, the position sensor of the prior art has many components, and the assembly and production processes are relatively complicated. The complex assembly process can easily lead to mistakes, affecting subsequent measurements and easily causing errors. For example, in the wiring harness installation and positioning and PCB welding process, the existing process is: the traditional wiring harness is welded through the PCB pad hole, the process is complicated and tedious, and the operation efficiency is low; in the interference fit assembly process between the skeleton and the shell, the existing process is: the traditional skeleton shell assembly requires the shell to open a positioning groove, and the corresponding protrusion needs to be designed on the skeleton, and then the raised part of the skeleton is assembled into the groove of the shell by crimping. This process requires increasing the complexity of the skeleton and shell molds, and requires more control over the size of the protrusion and the groove; for example, in the wiring harness outlet positioning process, the existing process is: the traditional wiring harness outlet requires an additional mold, and adding an assembly protective cover or secondary coating will increase the mold and cost.

[0019] The present invention is further described below by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the examples.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a position sensor for linear stroke detection. The position sensor comprises: a housing 1, a frame 2, PCB pads 3, a wiring harness 4, and a bell mouth 5. The frame 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the housing 1, to which the PCB pads 3 are fixedly mounted, and to which several wiring harnesses 4 are fixedly connected; the bell mouth 5 is fixedly connected to the other side of the housing 1, and the wiring harnesses 4 pass through the housing 1 along the PCB pads 3 and exit through the bell mouth 5.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the PCB pad 3 is provided with several equally spaced, parallel wire harness positioning slots 6. The wire harnesses 4 correspond to these slots 6 with an interference fit, ensuring each wire harness 4 is securely positioned. In this embodiment, the area of ​​the PCB pad 3 is significantly larger than the projected area of ​​the copper wires of the wire harness 4, ensuring weld strength and reducing the complex soldering process required by traditional wire harnesses that pass through holes in the PCB pad.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the bell mouth 5 is provided with a wire outlet positioning groove 7 for positioning the wire harness 4 exiting through the bell mouth 5; the bell mouth 5 is also provided with an anti-slip step 8, which is arranged below the wire outlet positioning groove 7 to restrict the wire harness 4. In this embodiment, the wire harness 4 exits through the bell mouth 5 along the PCB pad and the frame 2. The elastic characteristics of the bell mouth 5 allow the wire outlet end of the wire harness 4 to be pressed into the wire outlet positioning groove 7. Due to the rebound effect, it is restricted by the anti-slip step 8 below the wire outlet positioning groove 7, so that the wire outlet end of the wire harness 4 is pressed between the wire outlet positioning groove 7 and the anti-slip step 8, ensuring the accurate positioning of the wire outlet of the wire harness 4, reducing the additional materials required for the traditional wire harness outlet, reducing working hours, improving production efficiency, and achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the skeleton 2 and the shell 1 are connected by an interference fit cylindrical surface 9, on which a limit block 10 is mounted. The skeleton 2 and the shell 1 achieve an interference fit on the interference fit cylindrical surface 9, and the outer diameter of the skeleton 2 at the assembly location and the inner diameter of the shell 1 at the assembly location are controlled to meet the requirements. This ensures a smooth assembly process, avoids continuous interference fit before the assembly is in place, and ensures that the position of the skeleton 2 remains fixed during the subsequent epoxy potting and curing process. The limit block 10 is used to ensure the positional consistency of the assembly result in the circumferential direction.

[0025] This embodiment provides a position sensor for linear travel detection. By optimizing wiring harness installation and PCB pad soldering, this position sensor enhances product durability, improves process efficiency, saves labor, reduces costs, and increases the product's overall market advantage. Furthermore, by optimizing the assembly and positioning process between the frame and housing, the structure and dimensional control of the product's components are simplified, reducing process quality control and labor. Finally, by optimizing the wiring harness outlet positioning process, mold reduction and cost reduction are achieved, achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

[0026] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art will appreciate that these are merely illustrative and that the scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art may make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of the present invention, and such changes and modifications are intended to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
