Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data acquisition sensors, and in particular to a multi-interface sensor for data acquisition. Background Technology
[0002] A data acquisition sensor is a device or apparatus that can sense a specified measurand and convert it into a usable signal according to a certain rule; it is one of the main means of data acquisition. The working principle of data acquisition sensors is based on various physical, chemical, or biological effects. For example, temperature sensors utilize the thermal expansion and contraction or thermoelectric effect of materials to convert temperature into an electrical signal; pressure sensors, on the other hand, rely on principles such as piezoresistive effect and capacitance change to convert pressure into an electrical signal. Different types of sensors can measure different physical quantities, such as humidity, light intensity, acceleration, and magnetic force, and convert these physical quantities into electrical signals that are easy to transmit and process.
[0003] In practical applications, data acquisition sensors are typically equipped with multiple interfaces, which are often directly mounted on the sensor housing. However, during actual deployment and use, it is common to encounter situations where some interfaces are not fully utilized. These unused interfaces not only occupy valuable space resources but may also cause inconvenience to the overall layout and installation of the sensor.
[0004] To optimize space utilization and simplify the installation process, it's typically necessary to anticipate interface usage during the design phase and select which interfaces to include or exclude based on actual needs. While this approach alleviates space constraints to some extent, it also introduces inconvenience when adding interfaces later. If new interface functionality needs to be added after the initial installation, the sensor may need to be redesigned or modified, which not only increases costs but may also affect the sensor's performance and stability.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A multi-interface sensor for data acquisition includes a mounting base, mounting holes, a connecting base, and a sensor housing.

[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0025] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a multi-interface sensor for data acquisition comprises several key components, including a mounting base 1, mounting holes 2, a connector 3, and a sensor housing 4. The sensor housing 4 is connected to the mounting base 1 via the connector 3, ensuring a stable installation of the sensor. The sensor housing 4 is designed to be located at the upper end of the connector 3, while multiple mounting holes 2 are arranged on the end face of the mounting base 1 for easy installation and fixation.
[0026] To further enhance the functionality and adaptability of the sensor, a mounting cavity 8 is specially provided at the upper end of the sensor packaging housing 4. On the side wall of the mounting cavity 8, an arc-shaped through groove is provided for mounting the first arc-shaped shell 9 and the second arc-shaped shell 11. These two arc-shaped shells are connected to each other through a mating part 13, thus forming a complete structure.
[0027] An interface cover 10 is installed in the end face opening of the first arc-shaped shell 9. It not only protects the internal components but also allows for connection to external devices through its interface. Similarly, a multi-interface component 12 is installed in the end face opening of the second arc-shaped shell 11. This component is designed to enable the sensor to achieve extended connections through multiple interfaces, improving the sensor's compatibility and application range.
[0028] To ensure the integrity and sealing of the sensor housing 4, a hinge device 6 was added between the sensor housing 4 and the cover 5. This design allows the cover 5 to be opened and closed flexibly, facilitating maintenance and replacement of internal components. The side walls of both the sensor housing 4 and the cover 5 have protruding tubes; by inserting fastening bolts 7, the sensor housing 4 and the cover 5 can be securely fixed together. Furthermore, a sealing ring is specially provided at the connection between the sensor housing 4 and the cover 5 to ensure the overall sealing performance of the sensor.
[0029] To further enhance the sensor's sealing performance, sealing rubber strips are attached to the connection points between the sensor housing 4 and the first arc-shaped shell 9 and the second arc-shaped shell 11 using adhesive. Simultaneously, the sensor housing 4, the first arc-shaped shell 9, and the second arc-shaped shell 11 are connected by fasteners, ensuring the stability and durability of the entire structure. These components together form a cylindrical shell, providing excellent protection for the internal electronic components.
[0030] At the junction of the first arc-shaped shell 9 and the second arc-shaped shell 11, the designer has provided a mating part 13. A circular hole is provided on the end face of the mating part 13, allowing for a secure connection between the first arc-shaped shell 9 and the second arc-shaped shell 11 by inserting a bolt. To further enhance the sealing performance of the connection, a sealing rubber strip is attached to the joint of the mating part 13 using adhesive, ensuring the sealing performance of the connection.
[0031] The design of the interface cover 10 also reflects the emphasis on sealing performance. Through threaded connection with the holes in the first arc-shaped shell 9 and the second arc-shaped shell 11, the interface cover 10 not only protects the internal interface but also prevents external environmental influences on the sensor's internal components. A sealing ring is also specifically designed at the connection point between the interface cover 10 and the first arc-shaped shell 9 or the second arc-shaped shell 11 to ensure a tight seal at the connection.
[0032] As a key component of the sensor, the multi-interface assembly 12 also features a sealing ring at its connection with the arc-shaped housing to prevent the intrusion of liquids or dust. Furthermore, the multi-interface assembly 12 is connected to the housing via threads, with the threads of the multi-interface assembly 12 matching those of the interface cover 10. This not only ensures a stable connection but also facilitates maintenance and replacement.
[0033] Connect the sensor housing 4 to the mounting base 1 via the connector 3 to ensure a secure installation of the sensor. Use the fastening bolts 7 to insert and secure the protruding tubes on the side walls of the sensor housing 4 and the housing cover 5, ensuring a firm connection. Install the interface cover 10 in the end face opening of the first arc-shaped housing 9, ensuring a threaded connection and protecting the internal interface. Install the multi-interface assembly 12 in the end face opening of the second arc-shaped housing 11, ensuring a threaded connection and providing various interface expansion connections.
[0034] A sealing rubber strip is connected to the sensor housing 4 with the first arc-shaped shell 9 and the second arc-shaped shell 11 using adhesive to enhance sealing performance. A sealing ring is provided at the connection between the sensor housing 4 and the housing cover 5 to ensure the overall sealing performance of the sensor. A sealing ring is provided at the connection between the interface cover 10 and the first arc-shaped shell 9 or the second arc-shaped shell 11 to ensure the sealing of the connection. A sealing ring is provided at the connection between the multi-interface assembly 12 and the arc-shaped shell to prevent liquid or dust intrusion.
[0035] The first arc-shaped shell 9 and the second arc-shaped shell 11 are connected by a mating part 13 at their junction. A round hole is made on the end face of the mating part 13, and a bolt is inserted to securely connect the first arc-shaped shell 9 and the second arc-shaped shell 11. A sealing rubber strip is attached to the joint of the mating part 13 with adhesive to enhance the sealing of the connection. The encapsulation cover 5 is opened and closed flexibly by a hinge device 6, facilitating maintenance and replacement of internal components.
