Description

The national standard requires that the temperature deviation be less than ± 3K, and the requirement for temperature detection is high. The current traditional charging socket temperature detection device mainly has the following structures: structure one is to design a patch type temperature sensor on a PCB, wrap the temperature sensor with heat-conducting silica gel, install a jack, and make the jack as close as possible to the outer layer of the silica gel; structure two is to directly install the temperature sensor in a plastic part, clamp the two pins of the temperature sensor with a reed, wrap the temperature sensor with heat-conducting silica gel, install the jack in the socket first, then make the plastic part close to the jack, and make the heat-conducting silica gel and the jack as close as possible; structure three is to install the jack first, then install the temperature sensor, and finally fill the gap between the temperature sensor and the jack with insulating heat-conducting glue.

[0003] The above-mentioned temperature detection device needs to make the temperature sensor as close as possible to the jack, and keep the temperature sensor and the jack insulated to prevent short circuit. In structure one, the patch type temperature sensor is fixed horizontally on the PCB, and the jack is a vertical jack. The contact surface of the temperature sensor and the side wall of the jack are not in the same plane, the contact area is small, and the temperature sensor may not contact the jack due to jack installation or position error, making it difficult to make the temperature sensor and the heat-conducting silica gel closely adhere. In structure two, the temperature sensor is installed in the plastic part, and the plastic part is close to the jack. It is difficult to control the temperature sensor to adhere to the jack, and the reed may be fatigued due to long-term vibration. In structure three, the temperature sensor needs to be installed separately. Since the temperature sensor is not integrated and fixed in the assembly, it is easy to be displaced. When filling the insulating heat-conducting glue, it is difficult to ensure the close distance with the jack, and the installation cost of this structure is high. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
