Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil level sensor technology, and specifically to a highly stable oil level sensor mounting structure. Background Technology

[0002] A level sensor is a component that detects the position of oil in a container by converting the change in capacitance between the sensor housing and the sensing electrode caused by oil entering the container into a change in current. Currently, widely used oil level sensors include a sensing device and a wiring device. In the prior art, oil level sensors are installed by connecting a flange to the oil tank and welding the oil level sensor to the flange. Although this method has high strength, it is also relatively heavy, which will affect the weight of the product assembly using the oil level sensor.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a lightweight, high-strength oil level sensor flange body mounting structure, disclosed in publication number "CN218564081U", includes a flange body mounted on the outer surface of a housing. The flange body is welded to the housing, and a through hole is provided in the middle of the flange body. The flange body is mounted on the outer surface of the housing through the through hole. An annular groove is provided on the front end face of the flange body, located outside the through hole. The annular groove is coaxially arranged with the through hole. At least two sets of reinforcing ribs are provided inside the annular groove. The rear end of the reinforcing rib is connected to the rear side of the annular groove, the outer end of the reinforcing rib is connected to the outer wall of the annular groove, and the inner end of the reinforcing rib is connected to the inner wall of the annular groove. A weight-relief groove is formed between adjacent reinforcing ribs.

[0004] However, in the aforementioned document, the flange body and the shell lack a positioning structure before welding. During the welding process, the position between the flange body and the shell may shift, resulting in poor welding quality. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a highly stable oil level sensor mounting structure that prevents the flange body and the housing from shifting during welding, in order to address the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a highly stable oil level sensor mounting structure, comprising an oil level sensor housing and a flange body mounted on the outer surface of the oil level sensor housing, wherein the flange body has a through hole in its middle portion for mounting on the outer wall of the oil level sensor housing, characterized in that: a first connecting portion is provided on the lower end face of the flange body, a second connecting portion is provided on the outer wall of the oil level sensor housing, an mounting groove for mounting the first connecting portion is provided at the upper end of the second connecting portion, a plurality of first mounting holes are provided along its circumferential direction at the edge of the upper end face of the second connecting portion, a second mounting hole corresponding to the first mounting hole is provided through the flange body, and a fastener is provided between the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole.

[0007] The above technical solution involves installing the flange body and the oil level sensor housing together during the welding process, positioning the first connection part in the mounting groove of the second connection part. Simultaneously, aligning the first and second mounting holes, fasteners are inserted to complete the initial installation and provide positioning, preventing misalignment during welding of the flange body and the oil level sensor housing. Welding is then performed, and the fasteners are retained after welding, eliminating the need for disassembly. This allows them to withstand the stress generated during operation for an extended period, resulting in a more stable installation between the flange body and the oil level sensor housing.

[0008] A further feature of this invention is that the upper end face of the flange body protrudes upward at the outer edge of the through hole, providing a welding part for welding the flange body and the oil level sensor, and the lower end of the flange body is connected to the second connecting part by welding.

[0009] The above technical solution facilitates welding between the flange body and the oil level sensor housing by setting up a welding section.

[0010] A further feature of this invention is that an annular groove is provided at the outer end of the second connecting part near the upper welding point.

[0011] The above technical solution is adopted: by setting the annular groove, the thermal stress is dispersed along the groove during welding, thus avoiding cracking of the second connection due to thermal deformation.

[0012] A further feature of this invention is that a first sealing groove is provided on the outer wall of the first connecting part, a sealing ring is embedded in the first sealing groove, and a second sealing groove corresponding to the sealing ring is provided on the inner wall of the mounting groove.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing performance between the flange body and the oil level sensor housing can be improved through the setting of the sealing ring.

[0014] A further feature of this invention is that a plurality of weight-reducing grooves are provided around the through hole on the lower end face of the first connecting part, and reinforcing ribs are provided between adjacent weight-reducing grooves.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the weight of the flange body can be reduced by setting the weight reduction groove and the reinforcing rib, thus achieving the effect of lightweighting.

[0016] A further feature of this invention is that a plurality of third mounting holes are provided through the flange body near its outer edge, and the third mounting holes are spaced apart along the circumference of the flange body.

[0017] The above technical solution allows workers to easily install the flange body and oil level sensor into the oil tank through the third mounting hole.

[0018] A further feature of this invention is that one end of the oil level sensor housing is provided with an end cap, and the other end is provided with a socket assembly.

[0019] The above technical solution facilitates assembly by providing end caps, while the socket assembly ensures the usability of the oil level sensor.

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Attached Figure Description
