AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When the existing pressure and temperature sensor uses a clamp injection molding structure in the medium, the medium is easily permeated, resulting in seal failure, and the NTC thermistor has a slow response time.

Method used

The open-type ceramic pressure and temperature sensor is designed, using the conductive silk-screen layer and glass glaze layer on the ceramic carrier combined with O-ring sealing. The NTC thermistor is directly immersed in the medium, and the signal is transmitted through the conductive pin. O-rings are set at key positions to ensure sealing.

Benefits of technology

The fast response of the NTC thermistor in the medium is achieved, while the sealing failure caused by temperature changes is avoided, ensuring the long-term reliability of the sensor.

Abstract

The utility model discloses an open-type ceramic pressure and temperature sensor for a non-conducting medium, which solves the problem of uneven plane of a conductive silk-screen layer by sintering the conductive silk-screen layer on a ceramic chip and covering a glass glaze layer on the conductive layer to serve as a sealing surface of an O-shaped ring, and enables the surface of the conductive silk-screen layer to be sealed through a conductive pin outside the internal O-shaped ring. And a temperature signal of the NTC is transmitted to the FPC at the upper part of the pressure core body, so that the transmission of the NTC signal is realized. O-shaped rings are arranged on the upper surface and the lower surface of the ceramic chip for product sealing, and the influence of temperature change on the sealing structure can be almost ignored.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pressure and temperature sensors, and in particular relates to an open-type ceramic pressure and temperature sensor for non-conductive media. Background Art

[0002] Most pressure and temperature sensors that require an NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor directly immersed in the medium use a molded clamp on the pressure-bearing component of the sealed structure to transmit the NTC signal and isolate the medium from the medium. Because the molded clamp is directly immersed in the medium and bears the pressure, the different shrinkage rates of the clamp and the plastic can cause a gap to form between them when the temperature changes. This gap allows the medium to penetrate into the product, causing the sensor seal to fail. Utility Model Content

[0003] Technical problems solved: In response to the above technical problems, the utility model provides an open-type ceramic pressure and temperature sensor for non-conductive media, which solves the problem that the NTC thermistor can be directly immersed in the medium to speed up the temperature response time, while ensuring that the product will not fail to seal due to medium penetration due to the influence of temperature changes.

[0004] Technical solution: An open-type ceramic pressure and temperature sensor for non-conductive media, comprising a ceramic carrier, a plastic carrier, a pressure sensing core, a socket and an NTC thermistor. The ceramic carrier comprises a ceramic substrate, on which a conductive silk-screen layer and a glass glaze layer are sequentially provided. The ceramic carrier is provided with an NTC through-hole, a pin hole and a pressure hole. The pin of the NTC thermistor passes through the NTC through-hole and is fixed by an NTC conductive fixing piece. A conductive pin is provided in the pin hole, and the conductive pin is fixed in the pin hole by a lower pin conductive fixing piece. The plastic carrier is arranged on the conductive pin and is fixed by an upper pin conductive fixing piece through an FPC through the conductive pin. The claw at the lower part of the plastic carrier is connected to the upper edge of the ceramic carrier. An internal upper O-ring is provided between the plastic carrier and the ceramic carrier. The socket, FPC and pressure sensing core are connected in sequence from top to bottom. The pressure sensing core is arranged in the plastic carrier, and the claw on the socket is connected to the buckle on the plastic carrier.

[0005] Preferably, the sensor further comprises a metal shell, which is arranged outside the plastic carrier and the ceramic carrier, and the top of the metal shell is connected to the socket.

[0006] Furthermore, the NTC thermistor is arranged in an NTC protection tube.

[0007] Furthermore, an inner lower O-ring is provided between the ceramic carrier and the metal shell.

[0008] Furthermore, the sensor further includes an NTC protection tube, which is arranged on the NTC thermistor, and an open end of the NTC protection tube is connected to the lower part of the metal shell.

[0009] Preferably, the socket, FPC and pressure sensing core are welded into one body from top to bottom.

[0010] Beneficial Effects: This utility model provides an open-type ceramic pressure and temperature sensor for non-conductive media. By sintering a conductive silk-screen layer on a ceramic wafer and covering it with a layer of glass glaze as the sealing surface for an O-ring, the uneven surface of the conductive silk-screen layer is resolved. Conductive pins on the outside of the internal O-ring transmit the NTC temperature signal to the FPC on the upper portion of the pressure core, achieving NTC signal transmission. O-rings are placed on both the upper and lower sides of the ceramic wafer for product sealing, making the impact of temperature changes on the sealing structure almost negligible.
