Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic sensor technology, specifically to a waterproof electronic sensor housing. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of electronic devices, the waterproof performance of electronic sensor housings is crucial, especially when used in humid, rainy, or underwater environments. Existing electronic sensor housings typically employ a two-shell structure, secured with bolts, and a sealing strip is pressed between the upper and lower shells to achieve waterproofing.

[0003] When the casing is subjected to external impact, the existing upper and lower casing structure cannot effectively buffer the impact, which can easily lead to casing deformation or damage. Once the casing is damaged, the sealing performance of the sealing strip will be affected, which will lead to the failure of the waterproof function. If the impact is allowed to enter, it will damage the electronic sensors inside the casing.

[0004] Therefore, a waterproof electronic sensor housing is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0010] Furthermore, the sealing ring has a U-shaped cross-section, and the sidewalls of the sealing ring are made of elastic rubber while its end face is made of hard rubber.

[0011] Furthermore, the elastic component includes a U-shaped spring plate disposed inside the sealing ring. The top and bottom surfaces of the U-shaped spring plate are respectively provided with through holes. A convex ring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the U-shaped spring plate at the through hole. A return spring is sleeved on the surface of the convex ring. The two ends of the return spring are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped spring plate and are connected to the through hole by bolts.

[0012] Furthermore, the electronic sensor mounting assembly includes a threaded rod fixedly mounted on the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the lower housing, and an internal threaded sleeve is threaded onto the top end of the threaded rod. A side plate is rotatably mounted on the end of the internal threaded sleeve. A telescopic rod is fixedly mounted on the opposite surface of the side plate and the lower housing.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, a waterproof electronic sensor housing includes a lower housing 1 and an upper housing 4. An electronic sensor mounting assembly 2 is disposed inside the lower housing 1 for mounting the electronic sensor. A wire sealing assembly 3 is disposed at the wire hole of the lower housing 1. A sealing ring 5 is disposed between the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 4, and an elastic component 6 is disposed within the sealing ring 5. Bolts 7 are disposed within the lower housing 1, the upper housing 4, and the elastic component 6 for fixing and sealing the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 4. More specifically, during the installation of the electronic sensor, the electronic sensor is fixedly mounted to the electronic sensor mounting assembly 2 using fasteners. The sealing ring 5, the elastic component 6, and the upper housing 4 are fixedly mounted to the top of the lower housing 1 using bolts 7. The lower housing 1 and the upper housing 4 are fixedly sealed by the sealing ring 5 and the elastic component 6. The elastic component 6 provides a buffering effect, effectively absorbing external impact forces and protecting the electronic sensor inside the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 4.

[0027] A drainage groove 11 is provided on the top surface of the lower housing 1, and a sloping curb 12 is provided at the edge of the lower housing 1. The drainage groove 11 and the sloping curb 12 are used to assist in the drainage of external water. More specifically, the design of the drainage groove 11 and the sloping curb 12 helps to guide and drain water that may seep into the housing, prevent water accumulation, and thus improve the waterproof performance of the housing.

[0028] The wire sealing assembly 3 includes an elastic silicone tube 301 fixedly installed on the end face of the wire hole in the lower housing 1. An annular groove 302 is formed on the surface of the elastic silicone tube 301, and an annular spring 303 is placed inside the annular groove 302. The spring force of the annular spring 303 helps to ensure a tight seal between the inner wall of the elastic silicone tube 301 and the wire of the electronic sensor. More specifically, by fitting the elastic silicone tube 301 onto the wire of the electronic sensor, the spring force of the annular spring 303 ensures a tight seal between the inner wall of the elastic silicone tube 301 and the wire, guaranteeing a seal when the wire passes through the wire hole and preventing moisture from entering the housing through the wire hole.

[0029] The sealing ring 5 has a U-shaped cross-section, and its sidewalls are made of elastic rubber while its end face is made of hard rubber. More specifically, the U-shaped sealing ring 5 ensures the sealing between the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 4, improving their stability and wear resistance.

[0030] The elastic component 6 includes a U-shaped spring plate 601 disposed inside the sealing ring 5. Through holes 602 are correspondingly formed on the top and bottom surfaces of the U-shaped spring plate 601. A convex ring 603 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the U-shaped spring plate 601 at the through hole 602. A return spring 604 is sleeved on the surface of the convex ring 603. Both ends of the return spring 604 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped spring plate 601, and bolts 7 are inserted into the through hole 602. More specifically, the two ends of the return spring 604 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped spring plate 601. The through hole 602 and the return spring 604 provide a buffering effect, effectively absorbing external impact forces and protecting the lower housing 1, the upper housing 4, and their internal electronic sensors.

[0031] The electronic sensor mounting assembly 2 includes a threaded rod 201 fixedly mounted on the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the lower housing 1. An internally threaded sleeve 202 is threaded onto the top end of the threaded rod 201. A side plate 204 is rotatably mounted on the end of the internally threaded sleeve 202. A telescopic rod 203 is fixedly mounted on the opposite surface of the side plate 204 and the lower housing 1. A mounting base 205 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the side plate 204, allowing the electronic sensor to be fixedly mounted on the mounting base 205 via fasteners. More specifically, by rotating the threaded rod 201, the position of the side plate 204 can be adjusted through the cooperation between the threaded rod 201 and the internally threaded sleeve 202, thereby accommodating electronic sensors of different sizes. The telescopic rod 203 provides stability, and the mounting base 205 is used to fix the electronic sensor, ensuring stable installation of the sensor within the housing.

[0032] In summary: When installing the electronic sensor, the electronic sensor is fixedly installed onto the electronic sensor mounting assembly 2 using fasteners. The sealing ring 5, elastic component 6, and upper housing 4 are fixedly installed on the top of the lower housing 1 using bolts 7. The lower housing 1 and upper housing 4 are fixed and sealed together by the sealing ring 5 and elastic component 6. The elastic component 6 provides a buffering effect, which can effectively absorb external impact forces and protect the electronic sensor inside the lower housing 1 and upper housing 4.
