Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sensors, in particular to a resistance type oil pressure sensor structure. Background Art
[0002] A car's oil pressure sensor is a crucial device for detecting the engine's oil pressure. The data collected can help control the engine's proper operation. The oil pressure sensor, installed in the engine's lubrication system's main oil channel, detects the engine's oil pressure. When the oil pressure is detected as excessively high, the oil pressure signal is output as a voltage to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). The ECU then illuminates the oil light on the oil pressure gauge, prompting the owner to take appropriate measures, such as changing the oil or oil filter. When the oil pressure is detected as excessively low, the oil pressure signal is also output as a voltage to the ECU, which then illuminates the oil light on the oil pressure gauge. The ECU also controls the variable oil pump, controlling the oil supply to maintain optimal engine lubrication.
[0003] Oil pressure sensors play a crucial role in engines. The resistors in these sensors are typically made of ceramic material through a specialized process. Ceramic is a high-quality material with high elasticity, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and vibration resistance.

It also maintains high accuracy and stability even at high temperatures.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0026] Reference Figure 1-5 As shown, the resistive oil pressure sensor structure of the present invention includes: a housing 1, one end of which is provided with a recessed groove 11, and the material of the housing 1 is aluminum; a ceramic resistor 2, which is arranged on the bottom surface of the groove 11; a connector housing 3, one end of which is installed in the groove 11, and the other end of the connector housing 3 extends out of the groove 11, and a pin needle 4 is installed in the connector housing 3. The end surface of the connector housing 3 located in the groove 11 is provided with a plurality of claws 31, and the plurality of claws 31 are in contact with the outer wall of the ceramic resistor 2 to prevent the ceramic resistor 2 from falling off.
[0027] In the above structure, the cross-section of groove 11 is circular, and a boss 111 is provided at the center of the bottom surface of groove 11. Boss 111 is circular in cross-section and coaxial with groove 11. One end face of ceramic resistor 2 contacts boss 111. Ceramic resistor 2 is mounted on the circular surface of boss 111, and its outer diameter is larger than that of boss 111.
[0028] In the above structure, an annular boss 2 112 is provided on the bottom surface of the groove 11. The annular boss 2 112 is coaxially arranged with the boss 1 111, and the outer circumference of the circular interface of the ceramic resistor 2 contacts the annular boss 2 112. The cross-section of the ceramic resistor 2 is circular, and the outer diameter of the ceramic resistor 2 is larger than the outer diameter of the annular boss 2 112. The boss 1 111 and the annular boss 2 112 form an inner and outer double-layer structure. The annular boss 2 112 can effectively avoid the outer edge of the ceramic resistor 2, making the ceramic resistor 2 less likely to break.
[0029] In the above structure, an annular groove 113 is provided between the annular boss 112 and the boss 111. A sealing ring 114 is located within the annular groove 113, and the sealing ring 114 contacts the circular end surface of the ceramic resistor 2. A through hole 110 is provided at the center of the axis of the housing 1. The through hole 110 extends to the end of the boss 111 where it contacts the ceramic resistor 2. A tapered surface 115 is provided on the inner wall of the through hole 110 at one end of the boss 111. The through hole 110 passes through the boss 111 and connects to the groove 111. The presence of the boss 111 reduces the impact of airflow entering the through hole 110 on the ceramic resistor 2 and the sealing ring 114. The presence of the sealing ring 114 also improves the sealing effect between the ceramic resistor 2 and the housing 1.
[0030] In the above structure, the connector housing 3 is provided with a plurality of bosses 32 on the end face located within the groove 11. The bosses 32 are located on the same circumference, and gaps are provided between the bosses 32. The claws 31 and the bosses 32 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence, and the claws 31 are fixed to the end faces of the bosses 32. The end face of the boss 3 32 provided with the claws 31 is provided with an avoidance groove 321, which is used to avoid burrs on the ceramic resistor 2. Specifically, the avoidance groove 321 is located at the root of the connection between the claw 31 and the boss 3 32, which can ensure that the ceramic resistor 2 is placed in the designated position.
[0031] In the above structure, the ceramic resistor 2 is confined within the circumference formed by the plurality of claws 31. The number of the plurality of claws 31 is preferably set to three.
[0032] In the above structure, one end of the connector housing 3 disposed in the groove 11 is provided with a groove 3 33 , and a flexible circuit board is disposed between the ceramic resistor 2 and the groove 3 33 .
[0033] In the above structure, a gasket 5 is sleeved on the outer side of the other end of the shell 1 away from the groove 11.
[0034] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
