Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sensors, and in particular to a wheel speed sensor with multi-environment adaptability. Background Technology
[0002] In existing wheel speed sensor manufacturing processes, the Hall frame is usually formed by one-piece injection molding to create a sealing cover for connecting the wheel hub bearing. Because the Hall frame needs to be subjected to the impact of high temperature and high pressure molten material during the injection molding process, it is easy for the Hall frame to undergo a small displacement within the mold, resulting in deviation of the pin position at the terminal and thus affecting the reliability of the sensor's power connection. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a wheel speed sensor with multi-environment adaptability, including a Hall frame, a pin, a sealing cover, a circuit board and a positioning ring. The Hall frame has a pin embedded in it. A sensing groove is provided on one side of the Hall frame. A circuit board that electrically connects to the pin is installed in the sensing groove. A resin layer for covering the circuit board is provided at the opening of the sensing groove. Positioning blocks for shaping are provided around the Hall frame. The upper and lower ends of the sealing cover are integrally injection molded based on the Hall frame and the positioning ring, respectively. The sealing cover and the pin are combined to form a terminal.
[0004] The above technical solution employs a two-stage injection molding process to embed the Hall frame and positioning ring within the sealing cover. A protective layer is formed by fully coating the sensing groove with epoxy resin, while the positioning block is used to fix the Hall frame within the mold cavity. This effectively counteracts the impact of the high-pressure molten material and prevents the Hall frame from shifting, ensuring the stability of the terminal structure. It also gives the sensor excellent waterproof and moisture-proof performance, making it suitable for harsh working environments such as dampness, mud, and high vibration.
[0005] The present invention is further configured such that the Hall frame has a first bent portion, a second bent portion, a third bent portion and a sensing portion connected in sequence, the sensing groove is provided at the sensing portion, and one end of the pin extends into the sensing groove by passing through the first bent portion, the second bent portion and the third bent portion in sequence.
[0006] Furthermore, the sealing cover has a rectangular portion for accommodating the sensing part, and positioning blocks coplanar with the surface of the rectangular portion are provided around the sensing part. The first bent portion has a small plane perpendicular to the direction of the wiring terminal.
[0007] Using the above technical solution, the Hall frame is integrally injection molded on the basis of the pin, and the first bend, the second bend, the third bend and the sensing part are formed along the contour of the pin. During the secondary injection molding process, the upper and lower ends of the Hall frame are tightly abutted with the mold cavity through small planes and positioning blocks, respectively, which not only ensures the accurate positioning of the sensing direction of the Hall chip, but also maintains the stability of the terminal structure.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the terminal includes a socket portion and a boss portion for covering the Hall frame, the socket portion being inclined to the boss portion, and the first bent portion and the pin extending into the socket portion.
[0009] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib is provided between the socket portion and the boss portion.
[0010] The above technical solution is adopted. The sealing cover is provided with a socket part and a boss part that are inclined to each other. The included angle between the two determines the wiring direction. The connection strength between the socket part and the sealing cover body is improved by the boss part and the reinforcing rib structure, and the vibration resistance and impact resistance of the socket part are improved.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the insert is a double-pin insert, a connecting part is provided between the inserts, and the second bending part is provided with an opening groove for punching the connecting part.
[0012] Using the above technical solution, the double-pin is punched and bent into shape as a whole. After the Hall frame is formed, an opening groove is left for the punching connection part, so that the pin is punched into two independent and parallel wiring pins.
[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the sealing cover has a circular part and a stepped part, the positioning ring is sleeved on the outside of the circular part, and the two ends of the positioning ring have extensions embedded in the circular part and the stepped part.
[0014] Using the above technical solution, the annular part is used to fit onto the connecting disc of the wheel hub bearing, and abuts against the end face of the connecting disc through the stepped part. The positioning ring is made of metal. By fitting the positioning ring on the outside of the annular part of the sealing cover and embedding its extension into the stepped part, the positioning ring is effectively prevented from falling off, and the structural strength of the annular part is improved.
