Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sensor mounting technology, and specifically discloses a sensor with a composite mounting structure. Background Technology

[0002] For sensors used in agricultural production, such as in greenhouses, especially sensors used to detect the temperature and humidity of the environment: temperature and humidity sensors, because they need to detect the temperature and humidity of the plant growth environment when used in greenhouses, are mostly installed in greenhouses by pillars or other means to detect the temperature and humidity of the air environment.

[0003] However, plant growth is affected not only by the temperature and humidity of the air environment but also by the temperature and humidity of the soil environment. Therefore, when monitoring the temperature and humidity of the soil environment, it is necessary to bury the temperature and humidity sensors in the ground.

[0004] Most existing temperature and humidity sensor structures consist of a housing, an integrated temperature and humidity probe installed inside the housing, and an external mounting structure. The integrated probe collects and processes temperature and humidity signals before outputting them. Most mounting structures on the housing are bolt-mounted or latching structures, which can only secure the housing for one type of installation. For example, bolt-mounted structures can only be fixed to walls or rigid surfaces, and are unsuitable for installations buried in soil, lacking versatility.

[0005] This invention provides a sensor with a composite mounting structure to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the installation structure of traditional temperature and humidity sensors cannot adapt to different installation methods and lacks applicability.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the basic solution of this utility model provides a sensor with a composite mounting structure, including a housing, an integrated temperature and humidity probe disposed within the housing, and a processor disposed within the housing and electrically connected to the integrated temperature and humidity probe. The front end of the housing has a detection hole for the integrated temperature and humidity probe to be exposed. The housing is provided with a composite mounting structure, which includes several through grooves circumferentially extending between the two end faces of the housing around the detection hole, a receiving groove opened at the bottom end of the housing and communicating with the through grooves, an internal threaded hole opened in the receiving groove, and a connector. The connector includes a connecting rod that can pass through the through groove, a connecting block fixed to one end of the connecting rod and capable of engaging into the receiving groove, and a key fixed to the other end of the connecting rod and engaging with the top end face of the housing. The connecting block has a through hole that can communicate with the internal threaded hole.

[0008] Furthermore, the length of the connecting rod is equal to the length of the through slot, and the locking key extends out of the through slot and engages with the top end face of the housing.

[0009] The receiving groove is rectangular, and a recessed groove communicating with an internal threaded hole is opened in the receiving groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the key is conical.

[0011] Furthermore, the composite installation structure also includes a second connector, which includes a mounting plate that fits against the bottom surface of the housing, a support frame fixed to the mounting plate, a through hole opened on the support frame, and a snap-fit ​​component that is detachably connected to the through hole and used to clamp the cable. The mounting plate is connected to the bottom surface of the housing by bolts.

[0012] Furthermore, the clamping component is an elastic retaining ring that can engage with the through hole, and elastic retaining rings that fit against the outer wall of the upright are formed on both sides of the elastic retaining ring.

[0013] The principle and effect of this solution are as follows:

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has two installation methods. First, the connecting block of the connector is fixedly installed on the wall or hard carrier surface by bolts, corresponding to the through groove and receiving groove positions of the connector one. Then, the connecting rod is inserted into the through groove on the housing, and the locking key is exposed to the top surface of the housing. The housing is engaged by locking the locking key. When engaging, the connecting block is placed in the receiving groove, so that the bottom surface of the housing is in contact with the wall or hard carrier surface, thus completing the installation of the temperature and humidity sensor.

[0015] Secondly: The connecting block of connector one is screwed into the receiving groove through the bolt and the internal thread hole. The bottom end of the connecting rod is a retaining key. Then, the connecting rod with the retaining key is inserted into the soil and pressed down until the housing is buried in the soil, exposing the temperature and humidity sensor. This achieves the fixation of the housing and the temperature and humidity sensor, which solves the problem that the installation structure of the traditional temperature and humidity sensor cannot adapt to different installation forms and lacks applicability.

[0022] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0023] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: housing 1, integrated temperature and humidity probe 2, key 3, connecting rod 4, connecting block 5, receiving groove 6, stand 7, cable 8, elastic retaining ring 9.

[0024] A sensor with a composite mounting structure, implemented as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown:

[0025] The device includes a housing 1, a temperature and humidity integrated probe 2 installed inside the housing 1, and a processor installed inside the housing 1 and electrically connected to the temperature and humidity integrated probe 2. The housing 1 has a detection hole for the temperature and humidity integrated probe 2 to be exposed. In this embodiment, the installed temperature and humidity integrated probe 2 and the processor are structures commonly used in temperature and humidity sensors in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0026] In this embodiment, a composite mounting structure is installed on the housing 1. The composite mounting structure includes two through slots circumferentially extending between the two end faces of the housing 1 around the detection hole, a receiving groove 6 located at the bottom of the housing 1 and communicating with the through slots, an internal threaded hole in the receiving groove 6, and a connector. The receiving groove 6 is located outside the through slot, is a rectangular groove, and has a countersunk groove communicating with the internal threaded hole within it.

[0027] The connecting component includes a connecting rod 4, a connecting block 5 fixedly installed at one end of the connecting rod 4, and a retaining key 3 fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting rod 4. The length of the connecting rod 4 is equal to the length of the through groove. After the end of the connecting rod 4 with the retaining key 3 is inserted into the through groove, the retaining key 3 protrudes from the through groove opening on the top surface of the housing 1. At this time, the connecting block 5 engages into the receiving groove 6, and the connecting block 5 has a through hole that can communicate with the internal threaded hole. Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the retaining key 3 is conical.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the composite installation structure also includes a second connector, which includes a mounting plate, a support frame 7 fixed on the mounting plate, a through hole on the support frame 7, and a snap-fit ​​component that can be installed in the through hole. The size of the mounting plate is the same as the bottom size of the housing 1. The mounting plate also has through holes of the same diameter corresponding to the internal threaded holes in the receiving groove 6. The mounting plate is installed against the bottom surface of the housing 1, and bolts are screwed into the internal threaded holes through the through holes. The support frame 7 can be installed on the cable 8 through the through hole, and the snap-fit ​​component is inserted simultaneously when passing through the cable 8. Specifically, the snap-fit ​​component is an elastic retaining ring 9 that can engage and enter into the through hole. The elastic retaining ring 9 also has elastic retaining rings formed on both sides that fit against the outer walls of both sides of the support frame 7. Both the elastic retaining ring 9 and the elastic retaining rings are elastic. By inserting the snap-fit ​​component into the through hole, the cable 8 is pressed and fixed, thereby fixing the position of the temperature and humidity sensor. Multiple temperature and humidity sensors can be installed on the same cable 8 at the same time. At this time, the height of multiple temperature and humidity sensors can be controlled simultaneously.

[0029] When this utility model needs to be fixedly installed on a wall or the side of a greenhouse, first, align the connecting piece 1 with the corresponding through groove and receiving groove 6, and then fix the connecting block 5 of the connecting piece 1 to the surface of the rigid carrier on the wall or the side of the greenhouse using bolts. Next, insert the connecting rod 4 into the corresponding through groove on the housing 1, and expose the locking key 3 to the top surface of the housing 1. The housing 1 is then engaged using the locking key 3. During engagement, the connecting block 5 is placed into the receiving groove 6. Figure 2 As shown, the bottom surface of housing 1 is attached to the wall or rigid carrier surface to complete the installation of the temperature and humidity sensor;

[0030] When this utility model needs to be buried in the soil, first screw the connecting block 5 of the connecting component into the receiving groove 6 through the bolt's internal threaded hole. At this time, as... Figure 3 As shown, the bottom end of the connecting rod 4 is the locking key 3. Then, the connecting rod 4 with the locking key 3 is inserted into the soil and pressed down until the housing 1 is buried in the soil, exposing the temperature and humidity sensor, thus fixing the housing 1 and the temperature and humidity sensor.

[0031] When this utility model needs to be suspended in a greenhouse or indoors, the mounting plate is fixed to the bottom of the housing 1 by bolting the connecting piece 2, and the housing 1 is fixed by the cable 8 and the clamping piece. The temperature and humidity sensor can be suspended by the cable 8, and the height of the temperature and humidity sensor can be adjusted uniformly by the cable 8.
