Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of nitrogen and oxygen sensor shields, and more particularly to a shield structure of a nitrogen and oxygen sensor. Background Art
[0002] A nitrogen oxide sensor is a sensor used to detect the nitrogen oxide content in engine exhaust. A nitrogen oxide sensor is generally composed of a sensing element, a signal processing circuit, and a housing. The sensing element usually uses specific chemical materials and can respond to nitrogen oxides and convert them into electrical signals. The signal processing circuit amplifies, filters, and digitizes the electrical signals output by the sensing element for easy transmission and analysis. However, during use, the nitrogen oxide sensor may be damaged by external influences and needs to be protected.
[0003] Chinese patent application number: CN202321050998.7, provides a nitrogen oxide sensor with an anti-foreign object protective cover structure. This solution reduces the impact of gravel, stones or other foreign objects on the road on the sensor body when the vehicle equipped with the nitrogen oxide sensor is driving on a rugged road, thereby improving the protection performance of the sensor body. However, due to the complexity of the working environment, the nitrogen oxide sensor is easily affected by external factors. For example, in a humid environment, water vapor may condense and flow into the sensor along the sensor wiring harness, thereby affecting the normal operation and service life of the sensor. In addition, falling objects may also damage the sensor, affecting its detection accuracy and reliability. On the other hand, the nitrogen oxide sensor will generate a certain amount of heat when working. If the heat cannot be dissipated in a timely and effective manner, it may cause the sensor performance to deteriorate or even be damaged.

[0024] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the front and rear ends of the top of the base 101 are fixedly connected to a connecting plate 102, a C-shaped opening is opened in the center of the top of the connecting plate 102, and the C-shaped opening passes through the bottom end of the connecting plate 102. A plurality of circular holes are opened on the top of the connecting plate 102 and on the left and right sides of the C-shaped opening and are arranged at equal distances, and the circular holes pass through the bottom end of the connecting plate 102.
[0025] The bottom end of the side cover 103 is provided with a plurality of drainage holes which are arranged at equal intervals.

[0029] Specific implementation process: First, the nitrogen oxygen sensor 2 is placed in the installation groove of the base 101 of the cover seat 1. Next, pass the wiring harness connected to the nitrogen oxygen sensor 2 through the circular hole on the outer wall of the side cover 103 and the groove on the top of the base 101. The staggered arrangement of the circular hole and the groove ensures that during operation, the water droplets formed by condensation of water vapor on the wiring harness can flow from the groove to the lower circular hole, thereby effectively preventing water vapor from flowing along the wiring harness to the nitrogen oxygen sensor 2. Then, place the cover body 301 of the cover top 3 on the top of the base 101, so that the arc-shaped groove at the bottom end of the cover body 301 matches the groove on the base 101 to limit the position of the wiring harness and prevent the wiring harness from displacement.

The heat-conducting fins 305 on the top of the cover 304 are in contact with the nitrogen oxygen sensor 2, so they can promptly conduct the heat generated by the nitrogen oxygen sensor 2 during operation and dissipate it into the air for heat dissipation. The cooling fan 306 located at the center of the heat-conducting fins 305 passes through the cover 304 and extends to the inside of the cover body 301, and is located above the nitrogen oxygen sensor 2. After being turned on, it can blow air to cool the nitrogen oxygen sensor 2, further enhancing the heat dissipation effect. In addition, the multiple equally spaced hydrophobic holes opened at the bottom of the side cover 103 can further discharge moisture when water vapor enters the protective cover structure. The protective covers 303 at the left and right ends of the cover body 301 are located at the top of the side cover 103 and are adapted to the side cover 103, so as to protect the side cover 103, prevent debris or rainwater from entering the inside of the protective side cover 103, and enhance the stability of the entire protective cover structure.
