Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to an odometer sensor with a heat-insulating structure. Background Technology
[0002] An odometer is a device used to indicate and record the distance a vehicle has traveled. It typically uses a sensor to receive and display the engine speed data from the transmission. Current odometer sensors generally use a speed-sensing element to collect the speed signal, which is then processed by electronic circuitry and converted into a specific signal. Due to the thermal conductivity of the sensor's metal casing, when the temperature inside the transmission is around 150°C, the sensor's internal temperature can reach as high as 120°C, eventually damaging the electronic circuitry and causing the sensor to fail. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the adverse effects of this situation and effectively improve the sensor structure. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a odometer sensor with a heat-insulating structure. The sensor includes a connector with a slot in the center that snaps onto the transmission. A speed sensing element is housed within the connector, extending beyond the connector. A heat-insulating ring is positioned on the side of the connector away from the transmission, into which the speed sensing element extends. The speed sensing element is connected to an electronic circuit board. A connector is located on the side of the electronic circuit board away from the speed sensing element. A heat-dissipating ring is positioned on the outer side of the electronic circuit board, with one side connected to the connector and the other side connected to the heat-insulating ring. This application utilizes a heat-insulating ring positioned between the connector and the heat-dissipating ring. The heat-insulating ring itself provides heat insulation and connection, and combined with the heat dissipation effect of the heat-dissipating ring, when the transmission temperature is around 150°C, the temperature within the sensor's electronic circuit board space can be maintained below 80°C, improving the safety of the electronic circuit board.
[0004] Preferably, a first snap-fit groove is provided on the side of the snap-fit connector facing the electronic circuit board; a second snap-fit groove is provided on the side of the heat dissipation ring facing the snap-fit connector; a first snap-fit ring is provided on the side of the heat insulation ring facing the first snap-fit groove, snapping into the first snap-fit groove; and a second snap-fit ring is provided on the side of the heat insulation ring facing the second snap-fit groove, snapping into the second snap-fit groove. This application provides a first snap-fit ring and a second snap-fit ring on both sides of the heat insulation ring, with the first snap-fit ring positioned in the first snap-fit groove and the second snap-fit ring positioned in the second snap-fit groove. This design simplifies assembly, improves structural reliability, and, in addition to achieving heat insulation, also provides a certain degree of vibration isolation.

[0007] Preferably, the snap-fit connector includes a lower convex ring facing away from the plug-in connector, an upper convex ring on the side near the plug-in connector, a snap-fit groove between the upper and lower convex rings, and a metal washer on the bottom of the upper convex ring facing the gearbox. This application uses two lower convex rings clamping the connector within the gearbox, resulting in simpler assembly and better structural stability and sealing.
[0008] Preferably, the groove of the snap-fit groove is gradually widened from the lower convex ring to the upper convex ring.
[0009] Preferably, the upper convex ring is a screw-on nut.
[0010] Preferably, the heat insulation ring is a plastic heat insulation ring or a rubber heat insulation ring.

[0012] This application can bring the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This application uses a heat insulation ring placed between the card connector and the heat dissipation ring. The heat insulation ring itself can play the role of heat insulation and connection. In addition, the heat dissipation ring can keep the temperature inside the electronic circuit board of the sensor below 80°C when the temperature inside the gearbox is about 150°C, thereby improving the safety of the electronic circuit board.
[0014] 2. This application provides a first snap-fit ring and a second snap-fit ring on both sides of the heat insulation ring. The first snap-fit ring is set in the first snap-fit groove and the second snap-fit ring is set in the second snap-fit groove. The assembly is simple and the structure has good reliability. In addition to achieving the heat insulation effect, it can also have a certain vibration isolation effect.
