Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nitrogen and oxygen sensor technology, and in particular to a dual-positioning nitrogen and oxygen sensor housing. Background Technology

[0002] Nitrogen oxide sensors are commonly used in diesel vehicles to monitor the nitrogen oxide content in exhaust gases, helping the engine management system optimize combustion and reduce emissions.

[0003] Nitrogen-oxygen sensors generally consist of a base plate, a top cover, and a circuit board inside. Currently, the assembly method of the base plate and top cover in nitrogen-oxygen sensors is generally as follows: the base plate is provided with a protruding ring that is embedded in the inner ring groove of the top cover for limiting, and then it is fixed by applying glue.

[0004] However, this assembly method has certain drawbacks. First, the top cover is easily tilted and shaken because it is only limited by the convex ring and the ring groove. Second, the top cover is not subjected to force in the vertical direction. After applying the glue, the staff needs to manually press down the top cover for a period of time to wait for the glue to solidify, which is inconvenient. Therefore, it needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a dual-positioning nitrogen and oxygen sensor housing, including a base plate and a top cover. The lower side of the top cover is provided with a mounting groove for accommodating a circuit board. An upwardly extending inner buckle plate is integrally formed at the upper edge of the base plate. The lower side of the top cover is provided with an inner ring groove adapted to the inner buckle plate. The inner ring groove is sleeved outside the mounting groove.

[0007] The four corners of the mounting groove protrude inward to form a protrusion, and the upper side of the base plate is provided with four arc-shaped protrusions that are rectangularly distributed and can be attached to the inner arc surface of the protrusion.

[0008] The top cover is pressed against the bottom plate by a locking assembly.

[0013] Preferably, the bent plate is trapezoidal in side view, and a through groove is provided inside the bent plate, and both the base plate and the bent plate are made of plastic.

[0014] Preferably, the upper side of the top cover is provided with a socket reserved slot communicating with the mounting groove, and two socket reserved slots are arranged in a left-right arrangement, and a limit protrusion ring is provided on the upper side of the top cover outside the socket reserved slot.

[0015] Preferably, the outer edge of the upper side of the top cover is recessed to form an outer ring groove. A protective plate group is provided on the lateral extension of the outer ring groove. Two protective plate groups are provided and distributed on the front and rear sides of the socket reserved groove. The protective plates in the protective plate group are at the same left and right position as the socket reserved groove, and the protective plates extend to the upper side of the top cover and the limiting protrusion ring.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-5According to an embodiment of the dual-positioning nitrogen and oxygen sensor housing of the present invention, it includes a base plate 11 and a top cover 12. The lower side of the top cover 12 is provided with a mounting groove 13 for accommodating a circuit board. An upwardly extending inner buckle plate 14 is integrally formed at the upper edge of the base plate 11. The lower side of the top cover 12 is provided with an inner ring groove 15 adapted to the inner buckle plate 14. The inner ring groove 15 is fitted outside the mounting groove 13, thereby positioning the base plate 11 and the top cover 12 mutually.

[0031] In addition, to achieve dual positioning, the four vertical corners of the mounting groove 13 protrude inward to form protrusions 16. The upper side of the base plate 11 is provided with rectangularly distributed arc-shaped protrusions 17 that can fit against the inner arc surface of the protrusions 16 to increase the assembly limit with the upper cover 12 and prevent shaking.

[0032] When the base plate 11 and the top cover 12 are combined, the arc-shaped protrusion 17 first applies to the curved surface of the four protrusions 16 to pre-position the top cover 12. The arc-shaped protrusion 17 extends upward to the upper side of the inner buckle plate 14 to better pre-position. Then the inner buckle plate 14 enters the inner ring groove 15 to fully form the positioning.

[0033] Furthermore, the upper cover 12 is pressed onto the base plate 11 by a locking assembly.

[0034] In this embodiment, the locking assembly includes bent plates 18 disposed at the left and right ends of the base plate 11. The bent plates 18 extend laterally and then bend upward, and a hook plate 19 is integrally formed at the upper edge of the vertical side of the bent plates 18.

[0035] In contrast, the upper cover 12 has protrusions 20 on its left and right sides, and the protrusions 20 have grooves 21 that are adapted to the hook plate 19. The hook plate 19 can abut against the bottom surface of the groove 21, thereby locking the bottom plate 11 and the upper cover 12.

[0036] The hook plate 19 can be further configured such that after extending laterally, the hook plate 19 bends downward, so that the outer curved surface of the hook plate 19 is an arc surface. With this configuration, when the upper cover 12 is fastened downward relative to the bottom plate 11, the lower edge of the upper cover 12 will first adhere to the arc surface of the hook plate 19, so that the bent plate 18 bends outward. After the fastening is completed, the bent plate 18 will return to its original position inward under its own elasticity, and the hook plate 19 will enter the groove 21.

[0037] To improve the elasticity of the bending plate 18, the bending plate 18 is trapezoidal in side view, and a through groove 26 is provided inside the bending plate 18. Both the base plate 11 and the bending plate 18 are made of plastic.

[0038] The upper side of the top cover 12 is provided with a socket reserved slot 22 that communicates with the mounting groove 13. There are two socket reserved slots 22 arranged on the left and right sides. The upper side of the top cover 12 outside the socket reserved slot 22 is provided with a limiting protrusion ring 23. After the circuit board is installed in the top cover 12, the socket can be inserted into the socket reserved slot 22 and connected to the circuit board, thereby facilitating data transmission. The limiting protrusion ring 23 is used to limit the socket.

[0039] To further protect the socket within the socket pre-reserved slot 22, the outer edge of the upper side of the upper cover 12 is recessed to form an outer ring groove 24. The boss 20 is located within the outer ring groove 24, and a protective plate assembly is provided on the lateral extension of the outer ring groove 24. Two sets of protective plates are provided and distributed on the front and rear sides of the socket pre-reserved slot 22. The protective plate 25 within the protective plate assembly is at the same left and right position as the socket pre-reserved slot 22, and the protective plate 25 extends to the upper side of the upper cover 12 and the boss ring to protect the socket from impact.

[0040] In addition, two fixed pin seats 27 are arranged in front and behind on the upper side of the base plate 11. The fixed pin seats 27 play a fixed positioning role, and the socket reserved slot 22 on the right side is provided with assembly notches that are distributed vertically with the fixed pin seats 27.

[0041] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the technical features of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model are covered by the patent scope of the present utility model.
