Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of housing technology, and in particular to a detachable, replaceable and maintainable mechanical seal structure sensor housing. Background Technology
[0002] To prevent external moisture from entering the sensor, existing sensors are generally sealed using a complete potting process. This makes it impossible to disassemble, repair, or replace the internal components. Furthermore, because the potting compound shrinks during curing, the interface between the compound and the sensor material can peel off, making it difficult to completely prevent moisture penetration. To simultaneously ensure effective moisture sealing and meet the requirements for sensor disassembly, repair, and replacement, a structure with partial potting and mechanical seals for critical components was designed. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a detachable, replaceable, and maintainable mechanically sealed sensor housing.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A detachable, replaceable, and maintainable mechanically sealed sensor housing includes a sensor front housing, characterized in that a rear end mechanism is provided on the outer wall of the sensor front housing, a sensor handle is provided at the bottom of the sensor front housing, and a front end mechanism is provided at the bottom of the sensor handle.
[0006] Preferably, the rear-end mechanism includes a front protective cap, and the inner wall of the front protective cap has a buckle.
[0007] Preferably, the front protective cap has multiple through holes, each containing a sand chip, a temperature sensor, and a pH glass, and a positioning post is fixedly connected inside the front protective cap.
[0008] Preferably, a positioning disk is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the front housing of the sensor, and a first sealing silicone and a second sealing silicone are respectively provided on the inner wall of the front housing and one end of the sensor, and an electrolyte cavity is formed between the first sealing silicone and the second sealing silicone.
[0009] Preferably, the front-end mechanism includes a sensor handle and a rear sensor tail plug, the sensor front shell and the sensor handle are threadedly connected, the outer wall of the sensor front shell is threadedly connected with an anti-rotation buckle, the inner wall of the sensor handle is threadedly connected with a connecting block, and the rear sensor tail plug and the inner wall of the connecting block are threadedly connected.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] 1. By designing a front protective cap that is removable using special tools, the electrolyte can be refilled, greatly extending the sensor's lifespan.
[0012] 2. The handle and the sensor tail plug on the rear shell are connected by a threaded connection with a sealing gasket to ensure a good seal. An interlocking component is also included to prevent seal failure due to thread unraveling. This component is only removable with a special tool, ensuring that the core component of the sensor is removable, repairable, and replaceable.
[0013] 3. The handle and rear shell are connected by threads, with a sealing gasket and an anti-rotation structure. This ensures a good seal and prevents seal failure due to thread unraveling during sensor installation and use. Furthermore, the locking parts of the rear shell can only be disassembled using specialized tools, ensuring that the core components of the sensor are removable, repairable, and replaceable.
