Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of non-magnetic sensor technology, and in particular to a non-magnetic sensor sealing assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In the water meter manufacturing industry, potting compound is commonly used to protect electronic modules, ensuring that smart water meters function properly in low-lying, humid installation environments. However, in actual use, due to differences in the expansion coefficients of the potting compound and the sealing box material, as well as differences in the adhesion between the potting compound and sealing boxes of different materials, and the reduced adhesion performance caused by direct contact between the bonding area and water, the potting compound and the sealing box may peel off. Water or water vapor can then enter the sealing box through the gaps at the peeling point, corroding electronic components such as non-magnetic sensors, thus causing water meter malfunctions and affecting the normal use of the water meter. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a non-magnetic sensor sealing assembly.

[0004] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A non-magnetic sensor sealing assembly includes a lower sealing box and an upper sealing box welded together to form a sealing cavity; a non-magnetic sensor is potted in the lower sealing box with potting compound; the non-magnetic sensor is mounted on a bracket; a wire harness sealing ring and a pressure block are disposed inside the lower sealing box; the pressure block presses against the wire harness sealing ring and is fixed by a pressure block locking screw; a wire is welded to the non-magnetic sensor; the wire passes through the pressure block and the wire harness sealing ring and exits from the lower sealing box to the outside; a potting port is provided at the top of the upper sealing box; an O-ring and a potting port sealing cap are provided on the potting port; the potting port sealing cap is fixed to the upper sealing box by sealing screws.

[0006] Furthermore, a coil mounting slot is provided inside the sealed lower box; the bottom of the non-magnetic sensor is placed inside the coil mounting slot.

[0007] Furthermore, the bracket is provided with a module mounting slot, a pin hole, and a through hole; the non-magnetic sensor is inserted into the module mounting slot; the non-magnetic sensor is provided with a limit hole; a limit pin is inserted between the pin hole and the limit hole for fixation.

[0008] Furthermore, the sealing lower box has positioning ribs on its side wall; the sealing lower box also has screw holes; the bracket is connected by the side and positioning ribs, the through holes are aligned with the screw holes, and it is fixed by fixing screws.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0010] (1) By designing a sealed upper box and a sealed lower box, this utility model forms a sealed cavity outside the potting adhesive layer, and encapsulates the non-magnetic sensor in the sealed cavity, so that water does not come into direct contact with the potting adhesive, thus preventing it from entering the sealed cavity from the peeling gap and corroding the electronic device, thereby improving the sealing and waterproof performance.

[0011] (2) The present invention uses a bracket to install a non-magnetic sensor. First, the coil mounting groove is potted, and then the bracket is placed in for fixation. After the potting adhesive has cured, the bracket is removed and the non-magnetic sensor is finally potted. After the non-magnetic sensor is potted, it does not contact the wall of the sealed box and is completely covered by the potting adhesive, which effectively improves the sealing performance of the product.
