[0002] An ultrasonic sensor is an electronic device that uses ultrasonic waves for ranging, detection, or positioning. It measures distance or detects the presence of objects by emitting ultrasonic waves and receiving reflected signals. It is also a multifunctional and cost-effective detection device that is widely used in industries such as industry, transportation, and consumer electronics.
[0003] With the rapid development of urban rail transit, train positioning technology has become crucial for ensuring operational safety and efficiency. UWB (Ultra-Wideband) positioning systems are widely used due to their high precision and strong anti-interference capabilities. However, the urban rail transit environment is subject to strong electromagnetic interference, which can interfere with UWB signals and lead to a decrease in positioning accuracy. Therefore, we propose an anti-magnetic interference ultrasonic sensor for UWB positioning in urban rail transit. Utility Model Content

[0029] Reference Figure 1-3 An ultrasonic sensor resistant to magnetic interference for UWB positioning in urban rail transit is provided. This ultrasonic sensor resistant to magnetic interference for UWB positioning in urban rail transit includes an anti-magnetic interference shielding shell 1. The sensor structure is provided inside the anti-magnetic interference shielding shell 1. The sensor circuit board 2 is installed at the bottom of the anti-magnetic interference shielding shell 1. The anti-magnetic interference shielding shell 1 and the sensor circuit board 2 are isolated by insulating material to avoid short circuit. A plug 3 is installed on the sensor circuit board 2.
[0030] The sensor structure includes an ultrasonic transmitting module for emitting ultrasonic signals, an ultrasonic receiving module for receiving reflected ultrasonic signals, and a signal processing unit. The ultrasonic transmitting and receiving modules are symmetrically arranged and fixed to the sensor circuit board 2 by welding or plugging. The transmitting / receiving surfaces face outwards, and a certain distance is maintained between the ultrasonic transmitting and receiving modules to avoid signal crosstalk. The signal processing unit is located close to the ultrasonic receiving module and is mounted on the sensor circuit board 2 by welding. In application, the ultrasonic transmitting module emits ultrasonic signals towards the target, and the ultrasonic receiving module receives the reflected signals and transmits them to the signal processing unit. The signal processing unit calculates the time difference between the emitted and received signals to determine the target distance. During this process, the anti-magnetic interference shielding shell 1 effectively isolates external electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable operation of the sensor in complex electromagnetic environments. This effectively improves positioning accuracy and stability, making it suitable for urban rail transit systems in complex electromagnetic environments.

[0034] A support column 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom corner of the sensor circuit board 2. A long fixing bolt 5 is inserted into the through hole 201 and the inside of the support column 4 so that the long fixing bolt 5 can be inserted into the sensor circuit board 2 and the support column 4.
[0035] Reference Figure 3 The support column 4 is hollow in the middle, and the cross-section of the support column 4 is concentric with the cross-section of the through hole 201 to facilitate fixing.
[0036] Reference Figure 3 The outer surface of the support column 4 away from the sensor circuit board 2 has an integral support flange 401 for support, so as to play a supporting and load-bearing role.
