Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of exhaust temperature sensors, in particular to an exhaust temperature sensor of the SENT protocol. Background Art

[0002] The SENT data protocol is an efficient and secure data transmission protocol designed specifically for the automotive and transportation industries. While ensuring high communication security, it also pays great attention to cost control. Its main goal is to replace the traditional transmission method of analog signals between sensors and microcontrollers, and provide more accurate and reliable communication performance through single-sided half-byte transmission technology. While meeting stringent safety requirements, the SENT protocol effectively improves system efficiency and cost-effectiveness, and is an indispensable part of modern automotive electronic systems. Most existing exhaust temperature sensors support the SENT protocol. Exhaust temperature sensors are installed on the exhaust pipes of gasoline and diesel engines to measure the temperature of the exhaust. Most existing exhaust temperature sensors are directly fixed to the exhaust pipe by threads, and are prone to bending during use. When the transmission line is bent for a long time, the bending degree is large, and the bending frequency is high, the transmission line often breaks, causing damage to the exhaust temperature sensor, making the exhaust temperature sensor unusable.

[0003] To this end, the utility model provides an exhaust temperature sensor based on the SENT protocol. Utility Model Content

[0020] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0021] See also Figures 1 to 4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a SENT protocol exhaust temperature sensor, comprising a protective shell 1 corresponding to the exhaust pipe of a car, an exhaust temperature sensor body 13 rotatably fitted in the protective shell 1, a limit block 4 is installed on the protective shell 1, a plurality of pressure blocks 6 are installed on the limit block 4, the limit block 4 and the pressure block 6 correspond to the exhaust temperature sensor body 13, a fixing structure is installed between the limit block 4 and the pressure block 6, a toggle structure is installed on the pressure block 6, and a positioning structure is installed between the toggle structure and the exhaust temperature sensor body 13.

[0022] In this embodiment, the protective shell 1 includes a filter end 2 and a mounting end 3 . The mounting end 3 is provided with threads on its circumference, and the filter end 2 is provided with a plurality of filter holes on its circumference.

[0023] Specifically, the protective shell 1 can be fixed to the exhaust pipe thread through the installation end 3, and some small particles in the gas can be filtered through the filter end 2 to prevent the small particles from sticking to the exhaust temperature sensor body 13, thereby ensuring the temperature measurement effect of the exhaust temperature sensor body 13.

[0024] The output signal of the exhaust temperature sensor body 13 is output using the SENT protocol, and its output method is the same as the output method of a temperature and pressure sensor in a SENT output form disclosed in the patent publication number CN220542143U.

[0025] The protective shell 1 is fixedly connected to the limit block 4. A groove 10 is provided in the pressure block 6 and the limit block 4. The groove 10 corresponds to the exhaust temperature sensor body 13. A sealing gasket 9 is installed in the groove 10. The circumferential side of the exhaust temperature sensor body 13 is rotated with a rotating ring 12. The rotating ring 12 is located in the groove 10. A through groove 7 is provided in the protective shell 1. The through groove 7 is rotatably connected to the exhaust temperature sensor body 13. A sealing ring 8 is installed between the through groove 7 and the exhaust temperature sensor body 13.

[0026] Specifically, when the protective shell 1 needs to be installed, the sealing gasket 9 in the groove 10 and the sealing ring 8 in the through groove 7 can achieve a good sealing effect, thereby preventing air leakage. During installation, the exhaust temperature sensor body 13 can be rotated by the rotating ring 12 to adjust the angle of the exhaust temperature sensor body 13, thereby preventing the exhaust temperature sensor body 13 from bending.

[0027] Specifically, when the device needs to be installed, the mounting end 3 is fixed to the exhaust pipe through a thread, and then the pressure block 6 is pressed downward to fix it, so that the exhaust temperature sensor body 13 is clamped between the pressure block 6 and the limit block 4, and then the pressure block 6 and the limit block 4 are fixed by the fixing bolt 11 to achieve the installation of the exhaust temperature sensor body 13.

[0028] The fixing structure includes a mounting block 5 fixed to the pressure block 6 and the limit block 4, and a fixing bolt 11 is installed between the two adjacent mounting blocks 5. The toggle structure includes a plurality of toggle pieces 14, which are made of elastic material. The plurality of toggle pieces 14 are respectively fixedly connected to the pressure block 6. The positioning structure includes a clamping block 16, which is fixedly connected to the toggle piece 14, and the clamping block 16 is made of elastic material. A plurality of clamping grooves 15 are opened on the peripheral side of the exhaust temperature sensor body 13, and the clamping grooves 15 correspond to the clamping blocks 16.

[0029] Specifically, when the exhaust temperature sensor body 13 needs to be fixed, the block 16 is inserted into the slot 15 to limit and fix the exhaust temperature sensor body 13; the toggle piece 14 can be toggled so that the toggle piece 14 drives the block 16 to move, thereby causing the slot 15 and the block 16 to lose the engagement relationship, and the exhaust temperature sensor body 13 can be rotated at will.

This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
