[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0026] Example 1: Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 A nitrogen oxide sensor assembly with moisture-proof and dehumidification functions includes a shell 1, and also includes: a mounting bolt 11 passing through the shell 1, a support plate 3 slidably connected inside the shell 1, a sensor body 32 fixedly connected to the support plate 3, and the sensor body 32 and the support plate 3 slidably connected to the mounting bolt 11; a first air hole 17 is opened on one side of the shell 1, and the first air hole 17 is located near the bottom of the shell 1 to connect the outside with the space below the support plate 3, and a support spring 34 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the support plate 3 and the shell 1; a filter clamping plate 13 is provided above the shell 1, and an adsorption cotton 14 is fixedly connected inside the filter clamping plate 13, and the adsorption cotton 14 is used to absorb moisture in the air entering the shell 1.

[0027] The utility model is suitable for mounting a platform for mounting the sensor body 32 upright or inverted. The position of the mounting bolt 11 is the same as the position of the mounting hole of the sensor body 32, so there is no need to open a new threaded hole on the mounting platform. The mounting bolt 11 can be directly installed on the original threaded hole, which makes the installation process simple and convenient.

[0028] The support plate 3 divides the shell 1 into two space parts. The space above the support plate 3 is the storage space, and the space below the support plate 3 is the ventilation space. When the car inevitably passes through some uneven roads during daily driving and generates vibrations, the support plate 3 slides on the mounting bolts 11. Under the action of the support spring 34, the support plate 3 will move back and forth up and down. During the reciprocating movement of the support plate 3, the storage space above the support plate 3 will change. The space change will cause the internal gas to be exchanged with the external gas, and the one-way valve 31 can only allow the gas in the storage space to be discharged outward. Therefore, if air wants to enter the storage space, it can only enter after passing through the adsorption cotton 14 to absorb the moisture in the air, thereby making the air in the storage space relatively dry, which can effectively avoid the phenomenon of water droplets condensing on the surface of the sensor body 32 due to the temperature difference between day and night, and achieve the effect of moisture-proof and dehumidification.

[0029] Example 2: Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 , which is basically the same as Example 1, but furthermore: a compressed air bag 4 is fixedly connected between the support plate 3 and the shell 1, the compressed air bag 4 is connected to an air guide tube 41, a plurality of second air holes 42 are opened on the air guide tube 41, a filter screen 15 is fixedly connected to the filter splint 13, a limit block 12 is fixedly connected to the shell 1, a scraper 54 is reciprocatingly connected in the limit block 12, the scraper 54 is attached to the filter screen 15, and the scraper 54 is used to clean the filter screen 15 by reciprocating, the support plate 3 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 5, the shell 1 is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 51, and the second connecting rod 51 is connected to the first connecting rod 5 through a rotating shaft, the first connecting rod 5 and the second connecting rod 51 are connected to a push rod 52 through a rotating shaft, one end of the push rod 52 is slidably connected to the third connecting rod 53, a sliding groove 16 is provided on the shell 1, the third connecting rod 53 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 16, the third connecting rod 53 is slidably connected to the limit block 12, the third connecting rod 53 is connected to the scraper 54, and the two sides of the support plate 3 are connected with a one-way valve 31, and a one-way air outlet valve is provided in the first air hole 17. A plurality of counterweight blocks 35 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 3, and a sealing ring 36 is provided around the support plate 3.

[0030] In the present invention, an air inlet hole is opened on the compressed air bag 4 and a one-way air inlet valve is provided inside the compressed air bag 4. A one-way air outlet valve is provided in the air guide tube 41. When the support plate 3 is displaced due to vibration, the compressed air bag 4 is squeezed and exhausted outward through the air guide tube 41. The gas can blow the adsorption cotton 14 through the air guide tube 41, thereby keeping the adsorption cotton 14 dry and blowing away the dust on the filter screen 15. At the same time, the compressed air bag 4 and the support spring 34 can buffer the vibration generated, thereby increasing the service life of the sensor body 32.

[0031] When the support plate 3 moves, the first connecting rod 5 and the second connecting rod 51 are driven to rotate, thereby driving the push rod 52 to move horizontally. Since the push rod 52 will also move longitudinally during the horizontal movement, in order to avoid interference caused by the longitudinal movement, a sliding groove 16 and a sliding groove are respectively provided on the housing 1 and the third connecting rod 53, so that the push rod 52 will only drive the third connecting rod 53 to move horizontally during the movement. When the third connecting rod 53 moves horizontally, it will drive the scraper to scrape and clean the filter screen 15 back and forth, so that the cleaning effect is better.

[0032] The counterweight 35 can enhance the displacement effect of the support plate 3, so that the support plate 3 can be displaced when the vehicle generates a small vibration, thereby ensuring the operating frequency of the internal structure of the shell 1;

[0033] The sealing ring 36 can enhance the sealing effect of the support plate 3 and ensure that the air above the support plate 3 has more than one exchange outlet at the adsorption cotton 14 .

[0034] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
