Therefore, the technical solution provided by this utility model, through the organic combination of the above-mentioned technical means, achieves the technical effect of enabling selective contact between the sensitive electrode and external water, while protecting the internal circuitry from corrosion and water pressure impact. Compared with the prior art, this has significant technical advantages.

[0045] The technical solution of this utility model will be specifically described below with reference to the embodiments:

[0046] Specifically, in the embodiments of this utility model, the reference electrode 201 is made of silver chloride wire.

[0047] Specifically, in an embodiment of this utility model, the signal interface 4 is a headphone signal interface;

[0048] The housing base 1 is provided with a connecting cavity 103 for installing the signal interface 4, and a first interface mounting structure 104 is provided at one end of the connecting cavity 103 near the supporting cavity 101.

[0049] One end of the signal interface 4 is connected to the first interface mounting structure 104.

[0050] Specifically, in an embodiment of this utility model, a signal input terminal 401 and a second interface mounting structure 403 are provided on one end of the signal interface 4;

[0051] The other end of the signal interface 4 is provided with a signal output terminal 402;

[0052] The second interface mounting structure 403 is connected to the interface mounting structure 104 via a threaded structure;

[0053] The signal input terminal 401 is electrically connected to the reference electrode 201 and the substrate electrode 202.

[0054] Specifically, in an embodiment of this utility model, the signal output terminal 402 is a 3-electrode TRS interface TIP-RING-SLEEVE.

[0055] It should be noted that traditional sensor packaging lacks waterproof isolation design for electrical connection structures, making internal circuits susceptible to water corrosion and water pressure impact. In this embodiment of the invention, a cylindrical shell made of rigid waterproof material is used, with an internal spiral structure and an open top to fix the PCB substrate and expose the sensitive electrode. Sealant is filled between the shell and the PCB substrate to cover the chip area and electrical connection structure, forming physical isolation. This enables selective contact between the sensitive electrode and external water, while protecting the internal circuit from corrosion and water pressure impact, thus improving the durability of the packaging.

[0056] Specifically, in an embodiment of this utility model, the signal output terminal 402 is a 3-electrode TRS interface with a diameter of 2.5 mm.

[0057] It should be noted that traditional packaging structures are complex to install and sensor chips are not easy to replace. In this embodiment of the utility model, a modular design is adopted, with a circular double-layer PCB substrate as the carrier of the chip and silver wire, which simplifies the assembly process. The top of the shell is open, and the PCB substrate is fixed with a spiral structure, which facilitates disassembly and replacement, reduces installation complexity, and improves the maintainability and replacement efficiency of the sensor.

[0058] Specifically, in an embodiment of this utility model, a base mounting structure 105 is provided at the end of the connecting cavity 103 away from the supporting cavity 101. The base mounting structure 105 is a threaded structure and is used for connection with external installation. The base mounting structure 105 and the signal interface 4 are coaxially arranged.

[0059] It should be noted that existing technologies suffer from insufficient signal transmission reliability. Traditional signal interfaces are prone to failure in humid environments, affecting the stability of the detection signal transmission. In this embodiment, a 2.5mm headphone signal interface with three electrodes is used as the signal transmission channel. Sealant is used to waterproof and fix the interface, ensuring stable signal transmission in humid environments and reducing detection errors caused by poor contact. Furthermore, existing technologies present a contradiction between the sealing of the sensitive electrode and the circuit. It is necessary to ensure direct contact between the sensitive electrode and the water body while avoiding sealant covering the electrode, which could lead to detection failure. When potting the sealant, the coverage area is precisely controlled to avoid the sensitive electrode area. An open structure at the top of the outer shell directly exposes the sensitive electrode to the water body being tested, enhancing overall sealing while ensuring the detection function of the sensitive electrode remains unaffected.

[0060] Specifically, in the embodiments of this utility model,

[0061] The signal output terminal 402 is exposed from the end of the connecting cavity 103 away from the supporting cavity 101.

[0062] Specifically, in an embodiment of this utility model, the outer wall of the outer shell base 1 is provided with a protrusion / recess 106.

[0063] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, a support portion 107 is provided on the outer shell base 1, and a plurality of the support portions 107 are spaced apart along the end of the opening of the supporting cavity 101.

[0064] More specifically, this utility model relates to the field of semiconductor packaging technology, specifically a water quality sensor chip packaging structure for residual chlorine detection, suitable for integrated applications in water quality monitoring equipment. Residual chlorine detection is a crucial step in ensuring water quality safety. By rationally selecting detection methods and paying attention to relevant details, residual chlorine content can be effectively monitored and controlled, improving the disinfection effect of water. With the development of technology, residual chlorine detection technology is constantly being innovated and improved, providing strong support for ensuring the safety of people's drinking water. The principle of residual chlorine detection: Residual chlorine refers to the chloride residue remaining after the chlorinating agent added during water treatment disinfects organic matter and microorganisms in the water. Residual chlorine detection is one of the important indicators for measuring the disinfection effect of water bodies and a key step in ensuring water quality safety.

[0065] Traditional sensor chip packaging is mostly metal or ceramic. Existing packaging solutions lack waterproof isolation design for electrical connection structures, making installation complex and difficult to replace. To solve the above problems, a water quality sensor chip packaging structure for residual chlorine detection has been developed. The packaging structure involved in this utility model embodiment includes: a packaging shell: a semi-cylindrical shell with an internal spiral structure, the shell is made of a rigid waterproof material, the top of the shell is open, serving as the mounting carrier for the PCB substrate and allowing the sensitive electrode to contact the water body to be tested; a PCB substrate: adopting a circular double-layer board design, serving as the mounting carrier for the residual chlorine detection sensor chip and silver wire; a signal interface device: adopting a 2.5mm headphone signal interface, the interface contains 3 electrodes, serving as the signal transmission channel for chip detection; and sealant: filling the space between the shell and the PCB substrate, covering part of the chip area and the electrical connection structure with the substrate, enhancing overall sealing. Through the organic combination of the above technical means, the technical effect achieved by this utility model is to achieve selective contact between the sensitive electrode and the external water body, while protecting the internal circuit from corrosion and water pressure impact.

[0066] In this embodiment of the invention, the packaging method includes the following steps:

[0067] Material preparation: Provide residual chlorine sensitive chip, including sensitive electrode, package shell, sealant, PCB substrate, and signal interface device;

[0068] Electrode connection: Silver wires are soldered onto the PCB substrate, the chip is mounted on the PCB substrate, and the chip electrodes are connected to the corresponding electrodes on the substrate using gold wire bonding.

[0069] Housing assembly: Install the PCB board into the top of the housing and connect the signal interface with wires. After connection, fix the signal interface to the bottom of the housing.

[0070] Waterproofing: Apply sealant to the PCB substrate on the top of the casing, taking care to avoid covering the sensitive electrodes;

[0071] Testing: The packaging structure is tested to verify its sealing performance and test capabilities.

[0072] As can be seen from the above, traditional packaging methods lack standardized processes, resulting in poor quality consistency. This solution establishes clear packaging steps: electrode welding, chip mounting, shell assembly, waterproofing, and testing. Gold wire bonding technology is used to connect the chip electrodes to the PCB substrate, improving connection reliability, standardizing the packaging process, and improving product quality consistency and yield. Compared with existing technologies, it has significant technical advantages.

[0073] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
