Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pressure sensor technology, specifically a waterproof structure for a pressure sensor. Background Technology
[0002] Waterproof pressure sensor structures are a series of specialized designs and methods whose core purpose is to prevent external liquid pressure from entering the sensor while ensuring that the sensor can accurately sense external liquid pressure. This protects the sensor's delicate electronic components from damage and corrosion, and ensures long-term stability and reliability of measurements.
[0003] Existing pressure sensors completely encapsulate electronic components by filling the sensor's circuit board and housing with epoxy resin or silicone, isolating them from moisture. Rubber O-rings are used at the sensor's housing joints and threaded interfaces to effectively seal and waterproof the internal components. However, the connection between the cable and the pressure sensor housing lacks sealing and protection mechanisms, allowing moisture to easily enter the pressure sensor housing through gaps, and the cable is also prone to wear. To address these issues, innovative designs based on existing pressure sensors are urgently needed. Utility Model Content
