[0030] This embodiment provides a gas sensor encapsulation structure, including: an exhaust hood 1, a base 2, an encapsulating ceramic 3, a powder press 4, a T-shaped ceramic 5, an outer metal protective sleeve 6, an inner metal protective sleeve 7, and a waterproof and breathable membrane 8; the exhaust hood 1 includes an inner exhaust hood 101 and an outer exhaust hood 102, the inner exhaust hood 101 being fixedly connected to the outer exhaust hood 102 by spot welding, wherein the spot welding positions are the four spot welding holes 103 on one side end of the inner exhaust hood 101 and the outer exhaust hood 102, the outer exhaust hood 102 being fixedly connected to one end of the base 2 by spot welding and communicating with the inner hole of the base; the encapsulating ceramic 3, the powder press 4, and the T-shaped ceramic 5 are installed sequentially from right to left in the inner hole of the base, with the encapsulating ceramic 3 located near the exhaust hood. At one end, the encapsulating ceramic 3, powder press 4, and T-shaped ceramic 5 each have a through hole for the core 9 to pass through. The core 9 passes through the encapsulating ceramic 3, powder press 4, and T-shaped ceramic 5 in sequence and extends into the exhaust hood 1. The encapsulating ceramic 3 has a protrusion at the end near the powder press 4. This protrusion serves as a powder breaking structure. When the protrusion of the encapsulating ceramic 3 applies axial pressure during the installation of the gas sensor, it fully breaks the powder press 4 and recompacts the broken powder to fix the ceramic core. At the same time, the broken powder can fill the gaps. Since the compacted powder has a high density, it can play a sealing role. The sealing performance can also be further improved by high-temperature sintering. The gas leakage rate is ≤0.2ml / min. The end of the inner metal protective sleeve 7 is riveted to the tail of the base 2. The outer metal protective sleeve 6 is fitted onto the inner metal protective sleeve 7 and riveted to it. A waterproof and breathable membrane 8 is wrapped around the outer wall of the inner metal protective sleeve 7 and located between the inner metal protective sleeve 7 and the outer metal protective sleeve 6. Multiple air inlets 104 are evenly distributed on the cylinders of the inner exhaust hood 101 and the outer exhaust hood 102. The air inlets 104 on the inner exhaust hood 7 and the outer exhaust hood 6 are staggered. This staggered arrangement effectively prevents water from entering. Air outlets 105 are provided at the ends of both the inner exhaust hood 101 and the outer exhaust hood 102. The air outlets 105 are in the same position and overlap to ensure proper airflow. The outer wall of the base 2 is hexagonal, and the outer wall of the T-shaped ceramic has grooves for directional marking.
[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the end of the T-shaped ceramic 5 contacts the powder. In order to fully fill the gap between the ceramic core 9 and the T-shaped ceramic 5, the inner hole of the T-shaped ceramic 5 near the powder pressing 4 is a tapered hole 501, which facilitates the powder to fill into the hole and improves the sealing performance.
[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the end of the T-shaped ceramic away from the powder tablet is provided with a terminal mounting hole that is connected to the core through hole. A wiring terminal 15 is provided in the terminal mounting hole. A fixing ceramic, a positioning block and a connecting wire are provided in the outer metal protective sleeve 6 near the T-shaped ceramic 5 to fix the wiring terminal 15 so as to meet the signal transmission.
[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a first butterfly-shaped gasket 10 is installed between the shoulder at the front end of the T-shaped ceramic 5 and the step of the base 2, and a second butterfly-shaped gasket 11 is installed between the shoulder at the rear end of the T-shaped ceramic 5 and the inner metal protective sleeve 7. The first butterfly-shaped gasket 10 and the second butterfly-shaped gasket 11 are elastic gaskets. The first butterfly-shaped gasket 10 avoids collision with the base 2 and damage when axial force is applied to the T-shaped ceramic 5, thus playing a buffering role. One side of the second butterfly-shaped gasket 11 contacts the T-shaped ceramic 5, and the other side contacts the inner metal protective sleeve 7 to play a buffering role. An encapsulation gasket 12 is provided between the inner metal protective sleeve 7 and the riveted flange at the tail end of the base 2. The encapsulation gasket 12 is wrapped and the inner metal protective sleeve 7 is fixed by riveting the base flange.
[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, both the outer metal protective sleeve 6 and the inner metal protective sleeve 7 are provided with vents 13. The vents 13 are located at the tail ends of the outer metal protective sleeve 6 and the inner metal protective sleeve 7. A rubber sealing plug 14 is provided at the end of the outer metal protective sleeve 6 away from the T-shaped ceramic 5, and the rubber sealing plug 14 has wire through holes matching the number of connecting wires.
