Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to atmospheric data sensor technical field, more specifically relates to a kind of atmospheric data sensor test connecting device technical field. BACKGROUND

[0002] After atmospheric data sensor installation is completed, the precision of sensor needs to be calibrated, to ensure that the atmospheric data sensor installed can be used normally. When calibrating atmospheric data sensor using traditional method, there are usually two methods, of which the first one needs to add tooling at the bottom of sensor cavity for connection. The upper end surface of the tooling is in contact with the bottom surface of atmospheric data sensor, and a sealing ring is added between the two contact surfaces for sealing, and the tooling and atmospheric data sensor are connected by screws. If the contact surface of the tooling and the sensor cavity does not fit tightly, it may cause air leakage, affecting the calibration accuracy of the sensor. At the same time, when the tooling is removed after each calibration, the installation screws need to be removed, increasing the additional workload.

[0003] The other one is a threaded air passage adapter, which tightly fits the sealing ring at the bottom of the adapter with the sensor by tightening the threads. In this way, the sealing ring will rotate with the adapter, and in addition to being subjected to normal compression force, it will also be subjected to transverse shear force. The shear force generated by repeated disassembly and assembly will damage the rubber sealing ring, affecting the sealing performance. SUMMARY

[0004] The utility model aims at: in order to solve the problem that threaded air passage adapter may damage the sealing ring when tightening, improve the air tightness reliability of the connection, the utility model provides a kind of atmospheric data sensor test connecting device.

[0012] In one embodiment, the diameter of the sliding column is greater than the diameter of the connecting column and the diameter of the pressing column; the connecting column partially extends out of the gland; the pressing column is in contact with the sealing ring; the first ball assembly is in contact with the upper edge of the top of the sliding column; and the second ball assembly is in contact with the lower edge of the bottom of the sliding column.

[0013] In one embodiment, the sensor connecting seat comprises a sensor boss, the sensor boss comprises an inner column and an outer cylinder arranged outside the inner column, a plug-in gap for plugging the joint shell is arranged between the inner column and the outer cylinder, and the inner column extends into the joint shell and is in contact with the sealing ring.

[0014] The inner column and the outer cylinder are fixedly arranged on the atmospheric data sensor, and the inner column top is provided with an air inlet channel in communication with the air inlet of the pagoda-shaped air inlet assembly.

[0015] In one embodiment, the side wall of the joint shell is provided with a mounting groove, and the mounting groove is provided with an elastic clamping piece; the outer cylinder is provided with a downwardly rotating spiral groove, and the elastic clamping piece is matched with the downwardly rotating spiral groove.

[0016] In one embodiment, the elastic clamping piece comprises a clamping block and a spring connected to the bottom of the clamping block, the bottom of the spring is fixed to the bottom of the mounting groove, and the clamping block partially extends out of the mounting groove.

[0017] The shape of the clamping block is adapted to the shape of the downwardly rotating spiral groove.

[0018] Specifically, the outer cylinder side has a spiral groove. The tail end of the spiral groove has a clamping groove. The top side of the guide block and the side of the entrance of the spiral groove are both wedge-shaped surfaces, which improve the continuity of the connection plug being screwed in.

[0019] In one embodiment, the side wall of the joint shell is provided with a clamping groove in communication with the bottom end of the downwardly rotating spiral groove, the clamping groove is vertically arranged and located higher than the end position of the spiral groove.

The clamping block moves along the spiral groove, and in this process, the plug housing will rotate clockwise and move downward. At the same time, the gland fixed with the joint housing also rotates clockwise and moves downward. The ball in contact with the gland will rotate along the annular groove and exert a downward force on the pagoda air inlet assembly. The pagoda air inlet assembly and the balls at both ends (the first ball assembly and the second ball assembly) are in rolling contact, and the friction is very small, so no rotation occurs, only vertical downward movement occurs. At this time, the sealing ring in contact with the bottom of the pagoda air inlet assembly is only subjected to pressure perpendicular to the contact surface, and is thus compressed to produce a sealing effect. When the clamping block moves to the tail of the spiral groove, due to the existence of the clamping groove at the tail of the spiral groove, the clamping block is no longer subjected to pressure, and the elastic force of the compressed spring is released, pushing the clamping block into the clamping groove to complete the fixation of the connecting plug.

[0025] When the connecting plug is removed, the clamping block is pressed downward and the joint housing is rotated counterclockwise.
