[0026] The limiting protrusion 105 is integrally formed on the bottom of the outer side of the sleeve main body 101 and extends to below the sleeve main body 101, the structural layout of the limiting protrusion 105 is matched with the concave-convex shape of the shell at the sensor mounting position, the limiting protrusion 105 is clamped with the concave-convex surface of the shell at the sensor mounting position, and the sensor positioning orientation installation is realized.

[0027] The extension screwing assembly 2 comprises an extension rod 201, an inner hexagonal seat 202, a fixed bearing 203, an annular cover plate 204, a telescopic spring conversion joint 205, and a compression spring 206;

[0028] The inner hexagonal seat 202 is fixed to the top end of the extension rod 201, the fixed bearing 203 is fixed to the outer side of the inner hexagonal seat 202 and close to the bottom end of the extension rod 201, the telescopic spring conversion joint 205 is connected to the bottom end of the extension rod 201, and a socket head matching the sensor fixing bolt is connected through the telescopic spring conversion joint 205. The extension rod 201 and the telescopic spring conversion joint 205 are rotated by inserting a wrench into the inner hexagonal seat 202 to drive the socket head to rotate, thereby rotating the sensor fixing bolt.

[0029] The annular cover plate 204 is sleeved on the outer side of the extension rod 201 and distributed on the top of the fixed bearing 203. The annular cover plate 204 is covered on the upper surface of the sleeve body 101 and fixedly connected with the sleeve body 101 through a bolt. The fixed bearing 203 and the telescopic spring conversion joint 205 are distributed in the inner side of the telescopic groove 102.

[0031] In this embodiment, it is necessary to supplement that the telescopic spring conversion joint 205 is a common electric wrench conversion head on the market, and the socket head is a common screwing bolt tool on the market. The technology is mature, and it is a commonly used tool for automobile maintenance. Therefore, the connection structure and principle of the telescopic spring conversion joint 205, the socket head and the extension rod 201 will not be described here.

[0032] When installing the engine knock sensor, the operation steps are as follows:

[0033] The fixing bolt of the sensor can be first inserted through the sensor mounting hole, and then the whole is clamped into the limiting storage groove 104. The socket head is inserted into the groove of the fixing bolt. It should be noted that the shape of the limiting storage groove 104 matches the shape of the sensor, which is similar to a "convex" structure. During the process of clamping the sensor into the limiting storage groove 104, the sensor will extrude the anti-skid rubber block 106 to deform. The deformed anti-skid rubber block 106 has a large friction force with the sensor. In this way, during the process of pushing the device downward and pushing the sensor to the installation position, the sensor can remain undetached.

[0034] After the sensor is installed in the limiting receiving groove 104, the device is pushed down, the sensor is pushed to the installation position by the extension rod 201, and the limiting protrusion 105 is clamped with the concave-convex surface of the sensor installation position shell, so that the sensor is positioned towards the fixed, that is, the sensor installation angle locking effect is achieved.

[0035] Then, the extension rod 201, the inner ring of the fixed bearing 203, the telescopic spring conversion joint 205, and the bit are rotated by inserting the inner hexagonal seat 202 and rotating it by an external tool (such as an electric wrench or a manual handle), so that the bit drives the fixed bolt to be tightened, and in this process, the extension rod 201 is simultaneously pushed to move the fixed bolt to the installation position, that is, the installation and fixation of the sensor are completed.

[0036] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 , the diameter of the middle hole of the annular cover plate 204 is greater than the outer diameter of the extension rod 201 and the inner hexagonal seat 202, and is less than the outer diameter of the fixed bearing 203.

[0037] The sleeve body 101, the telescopic groove 102, the through hole 103, the limiting receiving groove 104, and the limiting protrusion 105 are integrally formed by an injection molding process, and the upper surface of the sleeve body 101 is formed with a threaded hole for screwing in a bolt.

[0038] In this embodiment, the annular cover plate 204 can be sleeved to the outside of the extension rod 201 from the inner hexagonal seat 202, and then fixed and installed with the sleeve body 101 by a bolt, so that the convenient assembly operation of the sleeve assembly 1 and the extension and screwing assembly 2 is completed, and the device has a simple overall structure and is easy to process and assemble.

[0039] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 , the outer diameter of the outer ring of the fixed bearing 203 matches the inner diameter of the telescopic groove 102, the outer diameter of the telescopic spring conversion joint 205 is less than the inner diameter of the through hole 103, and the diameter of the compression spring 206 is greater than the inner diameter of the through hole 103.

[0040] In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the fixed bearing 203 matches the inner diameter of the telescopic groove 102, which can ensure that the rotation of the extension rod 201 remains stable and reduces the rotation friction of the extension rod 201. It needs to be noted that the compression spring 206 only contacts the bearing outer ring, and the inner ring of the fixed bearing 203 does not interfere with the compression spring 206 when rotating.

[0041] The above merely describes a preferred embodiment of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any skilled person in the art, according to the technical scheme and the inventive concept of the present application, makes equivalent replacement or change within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
