[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] See also Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides a technical solution: a sensor wrapped in a ring-shaped circuit board, comprising a sensor body 1, a fluid channel 2 provided along the longitudinal direction of the center of the sensor body 1, a sensing component provided in the middle section of the sensor body 1, mounting legs 3 provided at both ends of the sensor body 1, side circuit boards 7 connected to the mounting legs 3, and a top circuit board 8 provided at the upper end of the sensor body 1. The side circuit boards 7 and the top circuit board 8 are used to conduct electricity in the present invention and generate an electromagnetic field. The sensor body 1 is in the shape of a hollow rectangular parallelepiped, with flanges provided at both ends. The two ends of the fluid channel 2 are provided on the flanges. The fluid channel 2 includes a middle channel 21, the two sections of the middle channel 21 being connected to a water inlet pipe 22 and a water outlet pipe 23. The water inlet pipe 22 and the water outlet pipe 23 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the middle channel 21, and both the water inlet pipe 22 and the water outlet pipe 23 are in a trumpet-shaped manner. The narrow openings of the water inlet pipe 22 and the water outlet pipe 23 are connected to the middle channel 21, and the sensing component is connected to the middle channel 21. When water flows through the fluid channel 2 , the shape of the fluid channel 2 can increase the water flow velocity, making the water flow thinner and faster, thereby enabling the sensing component to measure the water flow more accurately.

[0021] In an embodiment of the present invention, the top circuit board 8 includes a control board 81 and a terminal 82. The control board 82 has a built-in control circuit and chip for obtaining data from the sensing component. The terminal 82 is located on one side of the control board 81, and an indicator light 83 is provided on the other side of the control board 81.

[0022] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the sensing assembly includes a mounting frame 4 , a magnetic coil 5 and a sensing head 6 . The mounting frame 4 is mounted on the sensor body 1 , and the magnetic coil 5 is provided on the mounting frame 4 .

[0023] Furthermore, the magnetic coils 5 are divided into two groups, which are respectively arranged at the two ends of the inner cavity of the mounting frame 4 .

[0024] Furthermore, mounting bracket 4 includes a first mounting assembly and a second mounting assembly, each of which includes a base plate 41. Connecting plates 42 are hingedly connected at both ends of base plate 41, and the two sets of connecting plates 42 are interlocked. This makes mounting bracket 4 easy to disassemble as a whole, and eliminates the need for additional screws or other fasteners during installation, making installation simple and convenient.

[0025] In this embodiment of the present invention, a bracket mounting slot 11 is provided on one side of the sensor body 1, and a connecting plate 42 is snapped into the bracket mounting slot 11. The bracket mounting slot 11 prevents displacement of the mounting bracket 4 and allows the outer wall of the connecting plate 42 to be flush with the sensor body 1, making the present invention more compact and space-saving.

[0026] In the embodiment of the present invention, a magnetic coil installation groove 12 is provided on the other side opposite to the sensor body 1 , and the magnetic coils 5 are respectively installed in the magnetic coil installation groove 12 .

[0027] In this embodiment of the present invention, a sensor head mounting base 13 is provided within the bracket mounting slot 11, and the sensor head 6 is mounted on the sensor head mounting base 13. The top of the sensor head 6 is smooth and umbrella-shaped. After passing through the sensor body 1 and the side walls of the fluid channel 2, the top slightly extends to the inner wall of the fluid channel 2. In other words, the bottom edge of the umbrella-shaped top is connected to the inner wall of the fluid channel 2. When water flows through the fluid channel 2, the top of the sensor head 6 can sensitively sense the water flow.

[0028] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
