Detailed Implementation

[0022] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore their detailed description will be omitted.

[0023] The terms “a,” “one,” “the,” and “the” are used to indicate the existence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms “including” and “having” are used to indicate an open-ended meaning of inclusion and that other elements / components / etc. may exist in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.

[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown: A water-cooled pressure sensor includes a connector 1, a water-cooled cover 2, a housing 3, a water inlet pipe 4, a water outlet pipe 5, a pressure cap 6, a pressure core 7, an insulating gasket 8, a circuit assembly 9, a rubber cap 10, and connecting wires. A sealing groove 14 for installing a sealing ring is provided inside the pressure inlet hole of the connector 1. The aforementioned connector 1 is used to accommodate the core cavity of the pressure core 7, which is covered by a sealed water-cooling cover 2. The inner wall of the outer shell 3, which is fitted over the water-cooling cover 2, can seal the opening side of the double-line spiral groove on the outer wall of the water-cooling cover 2. This allows the inner wall of the outer shell 3 and the double-line spiral groove on the outer wall of the water-cooling cover 2 to form an inlet groove 22 and an outlet groove 24 that guide the flow of cooling water. The inlet 21 of the inlet groove 22 is connected to the inlet pipe 4 that is sealed and fixed on the outer shell 3, and the outlet 25 of the outlet groove 24 is connected to the outlet pipe 5 that is sealed and fixed on the outer shell 3. Since the inlet groove 22 and the outlet groove 24 do not cross each other and the inlet 21 and the outlet 25 are set at a 180° interval on the outer wall of the water-cooling cover 2, a top annular groove 23 is provided at the top of the outer wall of the water-cooling cover 2 to connect the inlet groove 22 and the outlet groove 24.

[0025] Based on the above structure, an internal threaded hole is opened on the upper part of the water cooling cover 2. The internal threaded hole is used for threaded installation of the wire cap 6. A rubber cap 10 is placed inside the wire cap 6, and a wire outlet hole is provided at the bottom of the internal threaded hole. Threaded holes for sealing and connecting the water inlet pipe 4 and the water outlet pipe 5 are opened on the outer shell 3. The outer shell 3 has a convex pillar structure with threaded holes and a flat surface.

[0026] To improve sealing performance, a water-cooled cover welding surface 11 is provided on the outer wall of the connector 1 to seal the bottom end face of the water-cooled cover 2, and this water-cooled cover welding surface 11 is located on the lower side of the core cavity that accommodates the pressure core 7; at the same time, a shell welding surface 13 is provided on the outer wall of the connector 1 below the water-cooled cover welding surface 11 to seal the bottom end face of the outer shell 3. To improve the ease of welding the water-cooled cover 2, a welding step 12 is provided on the outer edge of the water-cooled cover welding surface 11. Example

[0027] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model provides a small water-cooled pressure sensor capable of measuring pressure in high-temperature environments. The water-cooled pressure sensor includes a connector 1, a water-cooling cover 2, a housing 3, a water inlet pipe 4, a water outlet pipe 5, a pressure cap 6, a pressure core 7, a circuit assembly 8, an insulating gasket 9, and a rubber gasket 10. A core cavity is designed in the upper part of the connector 1, where the pressure core 7 can be welded. The pressure core 7 is soldered to the circuit assembly 9. The insulating gasket 8 provides insulation between the pressure core 7 and the circuit assembly 9. Two welding surfaces are provided on the middle outer wall of the connector 1: a water-cooling cover welding surface 11 for welding the water-cooling cover 2 and a housing welding surface 13 for welding the housing 3. The edge of the higher water-cooling cover welding surface 11 has a welding step 12, which prevents the height of the weld slag from affecting the assembly of the housing 3 after welding the water-cooling cover 2. The lower section of the connector 1 has a mechanical interface with internal and external threads for installation during use. A sealing groove 14 at the bottom of the connector is used for installing a sealing ring to prevent leakage during pressure input.

[0028] The bottom of the water-cooling cover 2 is welded to the inlet nozzle 1. A double-line spiral groove for water flow guidance is provided on the outer wall of the water-cooling cover 2. The inlet groove 22 and outlet groove 24 of the double-line spiral groove are connected to each other through a top annular groove 23. This layout creates two independent channels for water flow inside the water-cooling cover 2 and the outer shell 3: the inlet groove 22 for water intake and the outlet groove 24 for water outlet. This design helps improve water flow guidance and cooling efficiency. Furthermore, the top of the water-cooling cover 2 is welded to the outer shell 3, ensuring the sealing of the entire water flow channel, preventing cooling water leakage, and also ensuring the safety of the sensor under high-pressure environments. A threaded hole for mounting the wire cap 6 is provided on the upper part of the water-cooling cover 2, and an outlet hole is located at the bottom of this threaded hole.

[0029] The bottom of the outer casing 3 is welded to the connector 1. Two threaded holes are opened on the side wall of the outer casing 3: one for assembling the inlet pipe 4 and the other for assembling the outlet pipe 5. The protruding column structure of the outer casing 3 is a cylinder with four flat surfaces cut out for easy wrench operation, and the two threaded holes are also located on the protruding column structure. Specifically, the inlet pipe 4 is connected to the threaded hole on the side of the outer casing 3 for water input; the outlet pipe 5 is connected to the threaded hole on the side of the outer casing 3 for water output.

[0030] The wire cap 6 is connected to the threaded cavity at the top of the water cooling cover 2. The inside is equipped with a rubber pad 10 for fixing the wire. The upper end of the wire cap 6 is hexagonal for easy wrench operation.

[0031] The circuit assembly 9 leads out a wire, which is squeezed and fixed to the rubber pad 10 through the wire outlet hole on the upper part of the water-cooling cover 2. The wire cable is led out from the upper end of the wire cap 6, and the rubber pad 10 is used to fix the wire. The circuit assembly 9 is used for the linear conversion of pressure signal to electrical signal to achieve the purpose of pressure measurement. The wire is soldered to the core pin.

[0032] When the water-cooled pressure sensor of this invention is working, the pressure core 7, the circuit assembly 9, and the wires form a circuit system used to linearly convert the pressure signal into an electrical signal, thereby achieving the purpose of pressure measurement. Water flows through the inlet pipe 4 into the threaded hole on the side of the outer casing 3, and then flows along the double-line spiral groove on the side of the water-cooling cover 2. The water flows between the inlet groove 22 and the outlet groove 24 formed by the water-cooling cover 2 and the outer casing 3. The inlet groove 22 and the outlet groove 24 do not intersect, but are connected by the top annular groove 23 of the top ring, ensuring the continuity and sealing of the water flow. Finally, the water flows out through the outlet pipe 5, completing the cooling process, thereby reducing the operating temperature of the water-cooled pressure sensor and improving its environmental adaptability under high-temperature conditions.

[0033] The water-cooled pressure sensor of this invention significantly reduces the temperature of the pressure sensor by designing a double-line spiral groove, thereby improving its environmental adaptability under high-temperature conditions. The water-cooled pressure sensor has a simple and compact structure and is easy to install.
