[0018] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the second embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] First embodiment: See Figures 2 to 4As shown, a potting fixture for a sensor probe includes a fixture base 1. The fixture base 1 has a matrix of positioning slots 101 for inverting the probe housing A. A lead wire support rod 2 is provided on the upper side of the fixture base 1. The lead wire support rod 2 has a T-shaped through groove 3 longitudinally corresponding to the probe housing A. The tail end of the longitudinal part 3a of the T-shaped through groove 3 is open to the outside and forms an inlet / outlet 301 for the lead wire A1. The transverse part 3b of the T-shaped through groove 3 forms a lead wire A1 clamping port 302 for each lead wire A1.

[0021] When this potting fixture is used to pot epoxy resin into the probe housing A, the T-shaped through groove 3 supports and positions the two leads A1 of the thermistor, preventing the two leads A1 from swaying back and forth and ensuring that the two leads A1 and the probe housing A are aligned and fixed.

[0022] The longitudinal portion 3a of the T-shaped through groove 3 is arranged along the longitudinal symmetry line Y of the positioning hole groove 101, and the transverse portion 3b of the T-shaped through groove 3 is arranged along the transverse symmetry line X of the positioning hole groove 101; this structure ensures that the clamping opening 302 of the two leads A1 is set in the middle position of the positioning hole groove 101 in the longitudinal direction, and even if the two leads A1 swing left and right, they can only swing towards the center position of the positioning hole groove 101.

[0023] The left and right sides of the inlet and outlet 301 of the lead wire A1 are provided with inclined or arc-shaped lead wire A1 guide surfaces 303; this structure helps workers to insert the two lead wires A1 into the T-shaped through groove 3.

[0024] The width of the longitudinal portion 3a of the T-shaped through groove 3 decreases linearly from the inlet / outlet 301 of the lead wire A1 towards the transverse portion 3b of the T-shaped through groove 3. In this embodiment, the narrowest position of the longitudinal portion 3a of the T-shaped through groove 3 is smaller than the diameter of the lead wire A1. Even if the lead wire A1 swings left and right to the position of the longitudinal portion 3a, it can prevent the lead wire A1 from entering the longitudinal portion 3a of the T-shaped through groove 3, thus avoiding misalignment between the lead wire A1 and the probe housing A.

[0025] The transverse portion 3b of the T-shaped through groove 3 is located within the vertical projection range of the opening A2 of the probe housing A; this structure prevents the transverse portion 3b of the T-shaped through groove 3 from being too wide, so that the swing range of the lead wire A1 can only be at the center position of the probe housing A, and avoids the swing of the lead wire A1 being too far outward.

[0026] The clamping port 302 of the lead wire A1 forms a clearance fit or an interference fit with the lead wire A1; the T-shaped through groove 3 has a certain depth, which provides better support for the lead wire A1 and keeps the lead wire A1 in a vertical state during the glue pouring process. In this embodiment, the depth of the T-shaped through groove 3 is approximately 100mm.

[0027] It also includes a base plate 4 and two supporting side plates 5 made of high-temperature resistant material, mainly bakelite. The tooling base 1 is placed on the base plate 4. The two supporting side plates 5 are respectively fixedly connected to the opposite side of the base plate 4. The supporting side plates 5 are provided with multiple top-open positioning slots 501. The end of the lead wire support rod 2 is inserted into the positioning slot 501, and the lead wire support rod 2 is suspended above the tooling base 1. In a specific embodiment, the tooling base 1 is provided with a matrix of positioning holes and slots 101 for inverting the probe housing A. Therefore, a lead wire support rod 2 is arranged on each row of positioning holes and slots 101. The positioning bayonet 501 can make each lead wire support rod 2 maintain the same spacing, which facilitates the installation or removal of the lead wire support rod 2.

[0028] The end of the lead wire support rod 2 is provided with a half-cut, through which a support rod head 21 adapted to the positioning bayonet 501 is formed and a stop surface 22 located on one side of the support rod head 21 is formed. The stop surface 22 is limited to fit with the inner wall surface of the support side plate 5. The fit between the stop surface 22 and the support side plate 5 can restrict the lead wire support rod 2 from sliding left and right and shifting within the positioning opening A2, so as to better maintain the alignment and fit between the lead wire A1 and the probe housing A.

[0029] Second embodiment: The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that: see... Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a base frame 6 composed of several stainless steel pipes connected longitudinally and transversely. The tooling seat 1 is placed on the base frame 6. The two ends of the transverse stainless steel pipe 61 are bent upwards and then bent again to form a U-shaped limiting frame 62. Support pipes 63 are connected between multiple U-shaped limiting frames 62. The support pipe 63 and the two adjacent U-shaped limiting frames 62 define a positioning slot 501 with an open top. The end of the lead wire support rod 2 is locked in the positioning slot 501. Compared to the bakelite structure of the first embodiment, the bakelite structure is not durable when the resin potting fixture is placed in the oven to bake and set the resin. Therefore, this embodiment uses stainless steel, mainly because the stainless steel structure is more robust and resistant to high temperatures.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
