[0015] Appendix Fig. 3 This is a schematic diagram of a ring-shaped contact edge. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] As attached Figs. 1 to 3 The aforementioned temperature and pressure sensor packaging structure includes a sensor housing 1, a ceramic core 2 installed inside the sensor housing 1, and a fluid channel 3 provided inside the sensor housing 1. (See attached image) Fig. 1 As shown, the lower contour surface of the ceramic core 2 is the pressure-sensing surface. The pressure-sensing surface of the ceramic core 2 is opposite to the fluid channel 3. Fluid can flow from the fluid channel 3 to the pressure-sensing surface of the ceramic core 2, and then the ceramic core 2 detects the pressure of the fluid. A button 15 is provided on the top of the sensor housing 1, and a circuit board is connected to the top of the ceramic core 2. The circuit board is connected to the button 15.

[0018] The ceramic core 2 is also electrically connected to the thermistor 4, enabling the ceramic core 2 to detect temperature. The thermistor 4 extends downwards into the fluid channel 3. Because the thermistor 4 is exposed outside the sensor housing 1, the temperature response time of the sensor can be shortened. A thermally conductive sleeve 5 is fitted over the thermistor 4, and a thermally conductive filler is placed in the gap between the thermistor 4 and the thermally conductive sleeve 5. The thermally conductive sleeve 5 protects the thermistor 4 from corrosion or scratches by impurities, reducing the risk of thermistor 4 failure. Specifically, the thermally conductive sleeve 5 is a metal tube, and the thermally conductive filler is thermally conductive adhesive. The combination of the metal tube and the thermally conductive adhesive has good thermal conductivity, allowing the metal tube to both protect the thermistor 4 and ensure a fast temperature response.

[0019] The outer wall of the heat-conducting sleeve 5 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the fluid channel 3, allowing fluid to pass between the heat-conducting sleeve 5 and the fluid channel 3.

[0020] As attachedFig. 2 As shown in the figure, the pressure sensing surface of the ceramic core 2 is also provided with a positioning frame 6, which positions the heat conducting sleeve 5 and the thermistor 4. The positioning frame 6 comprises a plug column part 7, the extension direction of which is consistent with the extension direction of the fluid channel 3. One end of the heat conducting sleeve 5 is open, and the other end is closed. The plug column part 7 is correspondingly inserted into the open end of the heat conducting sleeve 5, thereby closing the open end of the heat conducting sleeve 5, and the inner cavity of the heat conducting sleeve 5 forms a sealed cavity, in which the thermistor 4 is located. The heat conducting sleeve 5 separates the thermistor 4 from the outside, effectively protecting the thermistor 4. The closed end of the heat conducting sleeve 5 extends out of the fluid channel 3, and the thermistor 4 is correspondingly arranged at the sealed end of the heat conducting sleeve 5. The closed end of the heat conducting sleeve 5 is narrowed as much as possible to reduce the distance between the heat conducting sleeve 5 and the thermistor 4, and to accelerate the temperature response of the thermistor 4. The outer wall of the heat conducting sleeve 5 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the fluid channel 3, so that the fluid can pass between the heat conducting sleeve 5 and the fluid channel 3.

[0021] Two lead wires 8 are arranged in the positioning frame 6, and the lower profile surface of the ceramic core 2 is provided with a resistance pin 9. As shown in the figure, Fig. 2 As shown in the figure, the lower end of the lead wire 8 is connected to the thermistor 4, and the upper end of the lead wire 8 is connected to the resistance pin 9 on the ceramic core 2, so that the ceramic core 2 and the thermistor 4 are electrically connected.

[0022] The positioning frame 6 further comprises a disc-shaped part 10, as shown in the figure, Fig. 3 As shown in the figure, the lower end of the disc-shaped part 10 is connected to the plug column part 7, and the upper surface of the disc-shaped part 10 is provided with an annular contact edge 11, which is connected to the pressure sensing surface of the ceramic core 2, and the annular contact edge 11 is provided with a flow-through gap 12. Because the annular contact edge 11 has the flow-through gap 12, the fluid can flow into the space between the pressure sensing surface of the ceramic core 2 and the upper surface of the disc-shaped part 10 through the flow-through gap 12, so that the pressure sensing surface of the ceramic core 2 can normally sense the pressure of the fluid.

[0023] The groove space enclosed by the annular contact edge 11 is a pressure sensing groove 13, and the disc-shaped part 10 is further provided with a through hole 14, one end of which is connected to the pressure sensing groove 13. The fluid can also flow into the pressure sensing groove 13 through the through hole 14, and the pressure of the fluid in the pressure sensing groove 13 is detected by the pressure sensing surface of the ceramic core 2.

[0024] The utility model discloses a sensor, it includes sensor shell 1, ceramic core body 2, heat -sensitive resistance 4 and metal pipe 5, sensor shell 1 is provided with fluid channel 3, ceramic core body 2 is provided with the pressure sensing groove 13, and the pressure sensing groove 13 is provided with the through hole 14, and the through hole 14 is provided with the flow gap 12, and the fluid channel 3 is connected with the pressure sensing groove 13, and the metal pipe 5 is connected with the ceramic core body 2.

[0025] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and it should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled person in the art, without departing from the principle of the utility model, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should be considered as the protection scope of the utility model.
