Detailed Implementation
[0019] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a packaging structure for a water quality sensitive chip. The water quality sensitive chip 100 includes a sensitive structure 110. The packaging structure includes a packaging shell 200, an isolation layer 300, and an electrical connection structure 600. The packaging shell 200 has a water channel 221. The water quality sensitive chip 100, the isolation layer 300, and the electrical connection structure 600 are all disposed inside the packaging shell 200. The isolation layer 300 is located between the water quality sensitive chip 100 and the electrical connection structure 600 to isolate the external water body from the internal structure. The sensitive structure 110 can be electrically connected to the electrical connection structure 600. The sensitive structure 110 can also contact the external water body through the water channel 221 and transmit electrical signals to the internal environment through the electrical connection structure 600.
[0020] This packaging structure encapsulates the water quality sensor chip 100 within the packaging shell 200. It provides support and protection for the water quality sensor chip 100, preventing external damage, while also allowing contact between external water and the sensing structure 110 via the water channel 221. Simultaneously, the isolation layer 300 isolates the electrical connection structure 600 from the external water, preventing external water from interfering with signal transmission. This packaging structure is simple, highly practical, and simultaneously provides support and protection for the water quality sensor chip 100, water sealing, electrical connection, and water pressure resistance. It can be used stably for long-term water measurement, facilitating the widespread application of water quality sensors in water quality monitoring.
[0021] Furthermore, the sensitive structure 110 includes a sensitive electrode and a connecting electrode. The sensitive electrode is used to contact the external water body and sense the external water quality parameters. The sensitive electrode is electrically connected to the connecting electrode, which is the signal transmission structure of the water quality sensitive chip 100 and is electrically connected to the electrical connection structure 600 so as to transmit the electrical signal to the inner world through the connecting electrode and the electrical connection structure 600.
[0022] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 The electrical connection structure 600 is electrically connected to the inner side of the isolation layer 300, and the connecting electrode is electrically connected to the outer side of the isolation layer 300. The inner and outer sides of the isolation layer 300 are electrically connected, thereby enabling the electrical signal of the sensitive structure 110 to be transmitted to the inner boundary through the connecting electrode and the electrical connection structure 600. The inner side of the isolation layer 300 is the side away from the water channel 221, while the outer side is the side closer to the water channel 221, i.e., the side closer to the external water body. Furthermore, the inner and outer sides of the isolation layer 300 are electrically connected through an isolation layer electrical structure 310, which is embedded inside the isolation layer 300. The electrical connection structure 600 is welded and fixed to the inner side of the isolation layer electrical structure 310, and the connecting electrode is welded and fixed to the outer side of the isolation layer electrical structure 310. Waterproof adhesive 400 covers the outer side of the connecting electrode, the insulating layer electrical structure 310, and the welding and fixing points between the connecting electrode and the insulating layer electrical structure 310. The waterproof adhesive 400 does not cover the sensitive electrode to prevent external water from contacting the electrical signal path. The end of the insulating layer 300 furthest from the water channel 221 is filled with sealant 500, which covers the insulating layer 300 from the inside or covers the insulating layer 300 and part of the electrical connection structure 600. During encapsulation, the water quality sensitive chip 100 and the insulating layer 300 are fixed inside the encapsulation shell 200. The sealant 500 covers the insulating layer 300 from the inside, and may also cover part of the electrical connection structure 600, thereby achieving fixation between the insulating layer 300 and the encapsulation shell 200, while providing sufficient water pressure resistance for the entire encapsulation structure. Further, as... Figure 2 As shown, sealant 500 is filled into the inner end of the first mounting cavity 211 to cover the electrical connection structure 600 and the isolation layer 300.
[0023] Furthermore, the overall shape of the enclosure 200 can be square, cylindrical, or other shapes. The enclosure 200 can be a one-piece structure or a separate structure. For example... Figure 1 , Figure 2In the encapsulation housing 200, there are a mounting shell 210 and a protective cover 220. The protective cover 220 is connected to the first end of the mounting shell 210. A water channel 221 is formed in the protective cover 220. The water quality sensitive chip 100 is installed inside the mounting shell 210. The sensitive structure 110 is closer to the first end of the mounting shell 210 than the electrical connection structure 600, that is, closer to the protective cover 220 and the water channel 221, so that the sensitive electrode can contact the external water through the water channel 221. During encapsulation, the water quality sensitive chip 100 can be installed into the mounting shell 210 first, and then the protective cover 220 can be fixedly connected to the first end of the mounting shell 210, so that the space where the sensitive electrode is located can communicate with the water channel 221, or the sensitive electrode can be directly exposed in the water channel 221, so that the external water can contact the sensitive electrode through the water channel 221. The protective cover 220 can be fixed to the first end of the mounting shell 210 by welding, threaded connection or snap-fit connection.
[0024] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 The mounting housing 210 has a first mounting cavity 211 and a second mounting cavity 212 arranged in a stepped manner. An isolation layer 300 is installed at the step 213 between the first mounting cavity 211 and the second mounting cavity 212. An electrical connection structure 600 is located within the first mounting cavity 211, and the water quality sensitive chip 100 is located within the second mounting cavity 212, which is connected to the water channel 221. Furthermore, the sensitive electrode does not extend outside the second mounting cavity 212. Before the protective cover 220 is installed, the entire sensitive electrode is located within the second mounting cavity 212 and can be protected by the mounting housing 210 to prevent collision damage. After the protective cover 220 is installed, it further protects the water quality sensitive chip 100. The second mounting cavity 212 is connected to the water channel 221, allowing external water to contact the sensitive electrode through the water channel 221.
[0025] Furthermore, the connection port 222 between the water channel 221 and the external water body is located on the side of the protective cover 220, so that the side directly opposite the sensitive structure 110 can be directly protected by the protective cover 220. During measurement, the water body enters through the connection port 222 on the side of the protective cover 220 and comes into contact with the sensitive electrode. Multiple connection ports 222 of the water channel 221 can be distributed along the outer periphery of the protective cover 220, and the width of the middle part of the water channel 221 is greater than the width of the connection port 222, which allows the sensitive structure 110 to be in a relatively safe internal space, better preventing damage to the sensitive structure 110. Furthermore, auxiliary water quality measurement structures, such as filters or specific selective membranes, can be added to the water channel 221 to improve the measurement accuracy of the water quality sensitive chip.
