[0027] Second sealing gaskets 12 are respectively provided on the outer end surfaces of the mounting grooves opened around the lower end of the substrate plate 2, and grooves are respectively opened on the opposite sides of the inner wall of the mounting grooves. Clamping blocks 13 are respectively provided inside the grooves, and the front end surfaces of the two clamping blocks 13 are arranged opposite to each other. A plurality of first springs 14 are respectively arranged and connected on the rear end surfaces of the clamping blocks 13, and the other ends of the first springs 14 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the groove.
[0028] The two side surfaces of the latch block 15 are respectively provided with inwardly-facing engaging grooves 20, and the lower ends of the engaging grooves 20 are respectively provided with limiting grooves, and the opposite sides of the inner walls of the limiting grooves are respectively provided with mounting holes 21 for mounting the rotating shaft 18. A second connecting end 16 is provided at the center of the upper end of the latch block 15, wherein a first connecting end 11 is provided at the center of the inner bottom surface of the mounting groove, and the first connecting end 11 and the second connecting end 16 are correspondingly sleeved.
[0029] The quick assembly includes an elastic plate 17, a rotating shaft 18 and a second spring 19. The elastic plate 17 is correspondingly installed inside the limiting groove. The upper end of the elastic plate 17 extends through the inside of the limiting groove to the inner center of the clamping groove. The lower end of the elastic plate 17 extends through the inside of the limiting groove to the lower end of the latch block 15. The rotating shaft 18 is fixedly installed on the central surfaces of both sides of the elastic plate 17, and the outer ends of the rotating shaft 18 are respectively sleeved inside the mounting hole 21. The second spring 19 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the inner surface of the elastic plate 17, and the other end of the second spring 19 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the limiting groove.
[0030] The engaging slots 20 on both sides of the engaging block 13 and the latch block 15 are correspondingly arranged, and the outer ends of the engaging block 13 are respectively engaged with the inner portions of the engaging slots 20 .
[0031] When the embodiment of the present application is in use: the housing 1 serves as the main protective structure of the sensor, the opening at the upper end of which is used to receive and filter external infrared radiation, and a filter 4 is fixedly installed inside to filter infrared light of a specific wavelength to improve the sensitivity and accuracy of the sensor. The threaded hole at the lower end of the housing 1 is connected to the through hole on the substrate plate 2 by a bolt 5 to achieve a stable assembly. The substrate plate 2 serves as a carrier of the internal components of the sensor, and a first sealing gasket 6 is installed at the upper end to ensure the sealing between the housing 1 to prevent external moisture or dust from entering and affecting the performance of the sensor. A MEMS thermopile infrared sensor 7 is fixed in the center of the substrate plate 2, which is the core component of the sensor, capable of responding to infrared radiation and converting it into an electrical signal. The pin line 3 is connected to the substrate through the latch block 15. Board 2 is connected to provide power input and signal output for the sensor. The design of the plug block 15 allows replacement when necessary, which increases the flexibility and maintainability of the sensor. When external infrared radiation enters the sensor through the filter 4, it is received by the MEMS thermopile infrared sensor 7. The thermopile is composed of multiple thermocouples connected in series. When the infrared radiation causes the sensor temperature to change, the thermocouple will generate a thermoelectric potential difference, thereby outputting an electrical signal. The sensed electrical signal is initially filtered and stabilized by the resistor 8, and then transmitted to the analog-to-digital converter 9. The analog-to-digital converter converts the continuous analog signal into a discrete digital signal to facilitate subsequent digital processing and analysis. The NTC10 is used for temperature compensation. It adjusts the circuit parameters according to the changes in ambient temperature. When the latch block 15 is installed in the installation groove, the two side surfaces of the latch block 15 will gradually approach the clamping block 13. As the latch block 15 goes deeper, the clamping block 13 will gradually be squeezed into the groove and the first spring 14 will be compressed. When the clamping groove 20 of the latch block 15 corresponds to the position of the clamping block 13, due to the elastic force of the first spring 14, the clamping block 13 will quickly pop out and snap into the clamping groove 20 to achieve fixation. During the installation of the latch block 15, the spring The lower end of the elastic plate 17 will be squeezed by the latch block 15 and rotated outward. When the clamping block 13 is clamped into the clamping groove 20, the lower end of the elastic plate 17 begins to rebound due to the loss of squeezing. However, due to the limitation of the rotating shaft 18 and the mounting hole 21, the elastic plate 17 maintains a certain tilt angle. This tilt angle makes the upper end part of the elastic plate 17 fit more closely to the bottom of the clamping groove, thereby increasing the stability of the clamping. At the same time, the second spring 19 also plays an auxiliary fixing role. It is connected between the lower end of the inner side surface of the elastic plate 17 and the bottom surface of the limiting groove, providing a certain support and resilience for the elastic plate 17. When the latch block 15 needs to be removed, the lower end part of the elastic plate 17 can be pressed downward, which will cause the lower end of the elastic plate 17 to rotate inward.The lower end of the elastic plate 17 is driven inward by the rotating shaft 18, and the upper end of the elastic plate 17 is rotated outward. The rotation process of the upper end squeezes the clamping block 13 and makes it disengage from the clamping groove 20, thereby realizing the removal of the latch block 15 and the replacement of the lead wire.

The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the content of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
