AI Technical Summary
In traditional PIN needle structures, the seal between the metal rod and the plastic injection body is insufficient, which can easily lead to leakage after prolonged use, affecting the accuracy of liquid level detection.
A secondary injection molding process is used to process the sealing ring groove on the metal rod, and a constant pressure is set during the secondary injection molding to increase the contact area between the sealing ring and the groove, thereby improving the sealing performance by using EPDM sealing rings.
The improved sealing of the PIN needle structure reduces leakage and enhances the accuracy of liquid level detection.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive thermal management systems, and in particular to a PIN pin structure with secondary injection molding and O-rings. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, various liquid storage containers and their associated liquid level sensors are constantly emerging. Traditional liquid level sensors mainly adopt pin-type or float-type structures, which have the following drawbacks: pin-type sensors are prone to misjudgment due to liquid leakage; float-type sensors are prone to jamming; in the existing pin-type structure, the seal between the metal rod and the plastic injection body is insufficient, and liquid leakage is prone to occur after long-term use. Especially when the system operating pressure changes frequently, the insufficient sealing performance of the traditional structure can cause liquid to seep in, resulting in abnormal current conduction and affecting the accuracy of liquid level detection. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a PIN pin structure with secondary injection molding and O-ring.
[0004] This utility model discloses a PIN pin structure with secondary injection molding and O-rings, comprising a metal rod, an injection molded part, and sealing rings. The metal rod has multiple sets of sealing ring grooves, each groove housing a sealing ring. The injection molded part is mounted on the metal rod via injection molding, with the multiple sealing rings located inside the injection molded part. The metal rod is machined in a fixed position to create grooves that can accommodate two sealing rings. The sealing rings are fitted into these grooves. The metal rod with the sealing rings is then placed into a mold for injection molding. This process increases the contact area between the sealing rings and the sealing ring grooves. A constant pressure is set during injection molding to ensure secondary injection molding of the sealing rings. This constant pressure further compresses the sealing rings, thereby improving the overall sealing performance of the sensor after injection molding. The addition of double O-rings reduces leakage caused by poor sealing between the SUS304 and PP5 materials during the initial injection molding, which could lead to system misjudgments.
[0005] Preferably, the metal rod is made of 0Cr18Ni9.
[0006] Preferably, the sealing ring is made of EPDM.
[0007] Preferably, the injection molded part is made of PP5.
[0008] Preferably, the number of sealing ring grooves is two sets.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the metal rod is fixed in position and processed to form a groove that can accommodate two sealing rings. The sealing rings are fitted into the sealing ring grooves. The metal rod with the sealing rings is placed into the mold for injection molding. The injection molded part increases the contact area between the sealing rings and the sealing ring grooves. A constant pressure is set during injection to ensure that the sealing rings are injected a second time. The constant pressure will further compress the sealing rings, thereby improving the sealing performance of the overall sensor injection after injection molding. By adding double O, the poor sealing performance of SUS304 and PP5 materials during the initial injection is reduced, which may cause leakage and system misjudgment. Attached Figure Description

[0013] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this utility model more thorough and complete.
[0014] Example
[0015] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model discloses a PIN pin structure with secondary injection molding and O-rings, comprising a metal rod 1, an injection molded part 2, and a sealing ring 3. The metal rod 1 is provided with multiple sets of sealing ring grooves, and a set of sealing rings 3 is respectively fitted on each set of sealing ring grooves. The injection molded part 2 is fitted onto the metal rod 1 through an injection molding process, and the multiple sets of sealing rings 3 are all inside the injection molded part 2. The metal rod 1 is made of 0Cr18Ni9, the sealing rings 3 are made of EPDM, the injection molded part 2 is made of PP5, and there are two sets of sealing ring grooves.
[0016] In this embodiment, the metal rod 1 is machined at a fixed position to form a groove that can accommodate two sealing rings. The sealing ring 3 is fitted into the sealing ring groove. The metal rod 1 with the sealing ring 3 is placed into the mold for injection molding of the injection molded part 2. The injection molded part 2 increases the contact area between the sealing ring 3 and the sealing ring groove. A constant pressure is set during injection to ensure that the sealing ring 3 is injected a second time. The constant pressure will further compress the sealing ring 3, thereby improving the sealing performance of the overall sensor injection after injection molding. By adding double O, the poor sealing performance of SUS304 and PP5 materials during the initial injection is reduced, which may cause leakage and system misjudgment.
