Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sensor installation technology, and in particular relates to a new housing structure for opening screw connection. Background Technology

[0002] Existing open-mount sensors are usually installed using snap-fit ​​mechanisms. However, snap-fit ​​installation has several drawbacks. The upper and lower shells are prone to loosening after fitting together, and the excessive stress on the snaps makes them more susceptible to deformation, wear, and breakage during repeated installation and disassembly. This makes repeated installation and disassembly inconvenient. Furthermore, during sensor installation, positioning errors can easily cause the outer shell to deform, resulting in installation failure. This necessitates the replacement with other snap-fit ​​mechanisms, increasing operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a new shell structure for connecting open screws. By setting bosses and grooves, the upper and lower shells of the shell are made easier to reduce positioning deviations, fit tightly, and are not easy to loosen or deform, thereby improving the reliability and applicability of the connection. On the other hand, the gap between the upper and lower magnetic cores inside the shell is fixed to ensure the air gap of the magnetic cores and make their performance stable. At the same time, the screws can be replaced if damaged, reducing costs. It is also suitable for different environments (-40℃-85℃) and is very convenient to use. It solves the problems that the upper and lower shells are easy to loosen after fitting, and the excessive stress on the buckle makes it more prone to deformation, wear and breakage during repeated installation and disassembly.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model discloses a novel shell structure for opening screw connection, comprising a lower shell and an upper shell above the lower shell. Both the lower and upper shells contain magnetic cores. The structure also includes: a locking mechanism located on the right side of the upper shell, comprising a fixing block one fixedly connected to the right side of the upper shell, a fixing block two fixedly connected to the right side of the lower shell, a boss fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper shell, and a groove on the top of the lower shell that matches the shape of the boss; both the boss and the groove are square, allowing for a tight fit; and a connecting mechanism located on the left side of the lower shell, used to connect the lower and upper shells to create an opening. When the lower and upper shells are joined, the boss enters the groove, positioning the lower and upper shells.

[0006] Furthermore, both the center of the first fixing block and the center of the second fixing block are provided with insertion holes, and screws are inserted into the insertion holes. After the lower shell and the upper shell are closed, the first fixing block and the second fixing block correspond to each other.

[0007] Furthermore, two positioning frames are fixedly connected to the bottom of the second fixing block. The two positioning frames are symmetrically arranged, and a hexagonal nut is provided between the two positioning frames. The screw is threadedly connected to the hexagonal nut. When the screw is inserted into the insertion hole on the first fixing block and the second fixing block, the screw and the hexagonal nut lock the upper shell and the lower shell together. The screw and the hexagonal nut connect and fix the first fixing block and the second fixing block together. The hexagonal nut is inserted into the two positioning frames.

[0008] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism includes a hinge block fixedly connected to the left side of the lower shell, and two side hinge blocks fixedly connected to the left side of the upper shell. A cross screw is inserted inside the hinge block. The upper shell and the lower shell are connected through the hinge block and the two side hinge blocks, and the hinge block and the two side hinge blocks are connected and rotated through the cross screw to realize the opening.

[0009] Furthermore, the cross screw is inserted into the hinge block and the two side hinge blocks respectively. The side hinge blocks are hinged to the hinge block by the cross screw. The two side hinge blocks are respectively disposed on the front and back of the hinge block. The two side hinge blocks are used to limit the position of the upper shell.

[0010] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. This utility model, by setting protrusions and grooves, specifically facilitates the reduction of positioning deviation between the upper and lower shells, ensuring a tight fit, preventing loosening and deformation, and improving the reliability and applicability of the connection; on the other hand, the gap between the upper and lower magnetic cores inside the shell is fixed, ensuring the air gap of the magnetic core and making its performance stable. At the same time, damaged screws can be replaced, reducing costs, and it is suitable for different environments (-40℃-85℃), making it very convenient to use.

[0012] 2. This utility model sets up side hinge blocks, specifically, the hinge block and two side hinge blocks are connected by a cross screw. Since the two side hinge blocks are set at the front and rear positions of the hinge block, the position of the upper shell can be restricted, so that the upper shell and the lower shell are less likely to shift when opening and closing, making the installation more precise.

[0013] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-7As shown, this utility model is a new shell structure for connecting open screws, including a lower shell 1, an upper shell 11 above the lower shell 1, and magnetic cores 12 inside both the lower shell 1 and the upper shell 11. It also includes a locking mechanism 2, located on the right side of the upper shell 11. The locking mechanism 2 includes a fixing block 21 fixedly connected to the right side of the upper shell 11, a fixing block 22 fixedly connected to the right side of the lower shell 1, a boss 25 fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper shell 11, and a groove 24 on the top of the lower shell 1 that matches the shape of the boss 25. The boss 25 and the groove 24 specifically facilitate the connection between the upper shell 11 and the lower shell. 1. Reduce positioning deviation, ensure tight fit, prevent loosening and deformation, and improve the reliability and applicability of the connection; on the other hand, the gap between the upper and lower magnetic cores 12 inside the shell is fixed to ensure the air gap of the magnetic cores 12, making its performance stable. At the same time, the screws 211 can be replaced if damaged, reducing costs and making it suitable for different environments (-40℃-85℃), which is very convenient to use; and the connecting mechanism 3, which is located on the left side of the lower shell 1, is used to connect the lower shell 1 and the upper shell 11 to realize the opening; when the lower shell 1 and the upper shell 11 are docked, the boss 25 will enter the groove 24 to position the lower shell 1 and the upper shell 11.

[0026] Both the center of fixing block 1 21 and the center of fixing block 22 are provided with insertion holes 212, and screws 211 are inserted into the insertion holes 212. After the lower shell 1 and the upper shell 11 are closed, fixing block 1 21 and fixing block 22 correspond to each other.

[0027] The bottom of the second fixing block 22 is fixedly connected to two positioning brackets 23. The two positioning brackets 23 are symmetrically arranged, and a hexagonal nut 231 is provided between the two positioning brackets 23. The screw 211 is threadedly connected to the hexagonal nut 231. The screw 211 and the hexagonal nut 231 cooperate to connect and fix the first fixing block 21 and the second fixing block 22. The hexagonal nut 231 is inserted into the two positioning brackets 23.

[0028] The connecting mechanism 3 includes a hinge block 31 fixedly connected to the left side of the lower shell 1, and two side hinge blocks 32 fixedly connected to the left side of the upper shell 11. A cross screw 33 is inserted inside the hinge block 31. The hinge block 31 and the two side hinge blocks 32 are connected by the cross screw 33. Since the two side hinge blocks 32 are positioned in front of and behind the hinge block 31, the position of the upper shell 11 can be restricted, so that the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 1 are less likely to deviate when opening and closing, making the installation more precise.

[0029] The cross screw 33 is inserted into the hinge block 31 and the two side hinge blocks 32 respectively. The side hinge blocks 32 are hinged to the hinge block 31 through the cross screw 33. The two side hinge blocks 32 are respectively located on the front and back of the hinge block 31. The two side hinge blocks 32 are used to limit the position of the upper shell 11.

[0030] One specific application of this embodiment is:

[0031] The upper shell 11 and the lower shell 1 are connected by a hinge block 31 and two side hinge blocks 32. The hinge block 31 and the two side hinge blocks 32 are connected and rotated by a cross screw 33 to achieve an opening. The upper shell 11 and the lower shell 1 are fixed by the positioning boss 25 on the upper shell 11 being embedded in the positioning groove 24 of the lower shell 1. The cooperation between the boss 25 and the groove 24 achieves precise positioning and avoids misalignment and deformation of the shell when installing the screw 211. Then, by inserting the hexagonal nut 231 into the inside of the positioning bracket 23 and inserting the screw 211 into the insertion hole 212 on the fixing block 1 21 and the fixing block 22, the cooperation between the screw 211 and the hexagonal nut 231 locks the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 1, which is convenient for installation, disassembly and use. Damage to the screw 211 caused by long-term use can be directly replaced with the corresponding screw 211, reducing costs. At the same time, the screw 211 fixes the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 1, making the fit gap between the shells smaller and the air gap of the upper and lower magnetic cores 12 inside the shell smaller, resulting in more stable product performance.
