Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of urea sensor technology, and in particular to a protective structure for a urea sensor. Background Technology
[0002] As a core detection component of the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) exhaust gas treatment system in diesel vehicles, the urea sensor is responsible for real-time monitoring of the urea solution level, concentration, and temperature parameters in the urea tank. Its detection accuracy directly determines the injection quantity control accuracy of the SCR system, thus affecting the conversion efficiency of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust gas and whether emissions meet standards. However, the urea sensor operates in harsh environments—urea solution is corrosive, and impurities and crystal particles easily mix into the tank. Furthermore, vibrations, bumps, and sudden temperature changes (-40℃ to 80℃) during vehicle operation all cause severe wear and tear on the sensor. Traditional protective structures have many technical defects, resulting in high sensor failure rates and short lifespans, becoming a key bottleneck restricting the stable operation of the SCR system.
[0003] Currently, the protective structure for urea sensors is not securely installed and has a high probability of detachment due to vibration. Continuous vibrations generated during vehicle operation (especially on bumpy roads) can cause loosening between the traditional protective structure and the sensor and mounting base. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a protective structure for urea sensors to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model provides a protective structure for a urea sensor, including a mounting base, on which a sensing component and a protective sleeve are disposed, the protective sleeve being located on the outer surface of the sensing component; The top surface of the mounting base has a first mounting groove at both ends, and the bottom end of the protective sleeve is fixed with a first elastic mounting block located in the first mounting groove. The side of the first elastic mounting block has a first slot, and the side wall of the first mounting groove is fixed with a first locking block located in the first slot.
[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: Optionally, the mounting base has a second mounting groove, the bottom of the protective sleeve is fixed with a second elastic mounting block located in the second mounting groove, the side of the second elastic mounting block has a second slot, and the side wall of the second mounting groove is fixed with a second locking block located in the second slot.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0014] This utility model provides a protective structure for a urea sensor, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a mounting base 1, on which a sensing component 2 and a protective sleeve 12 are mounted. The protective sleeve 12 is located on the outer surface of the sensing component 2. First mounting grooves 3 are formed at both ends of the top surface of the mounting base 1. First elastic mounting blocks 4 located in the first mounting grooves 3 are fixed at both ends of the bottom of the protective sleeve 12. First slots 5 are formed on the sides of the first elastic mounting blocks 4. First locking blocks 6 located in the first slots 5 are fixed to the side walls of the first mounting grooves 3. Using this urea sensor protective structure ensures a very secure installation, avoiding loosening between the traditional protective structure and the sensing component 2 and the mounting base 1.
[0015] Furthermore, the mounting base 1 has a second mounting groove 7, the bottom of the protective sleeve 12 is fixed with a second elastic mounting block 8 located in the second mounting groove 7, the side of the second elastic mounting block 8 has a second slot 9, and the side wall of the second mounting groove 7 is fixed with a second locking block 10 located in the second slot 9.
[0016] Specifically, the sensing component 2 includes a connector 21, an ultrasonic probe 22, and a reflector 23. The ultrasonic probe 22 is located in the connector 21, and the reflector 23 is fixed to the side of the connector 21.
[0017] Furthermore, the mounting base 1 has two mounting holes 11.
[0018] Operating procedures Holding the protective sleeve 12, align the first elastic mounting block 4 at the bottom of the sleeve with the first mounting groove 3 of the mounting base 1 and the second elastic mounting block 8 with the second mounting groove 7. Slowly press the protective sleeve 12 downwards. The first elastic mounting block 4 will deform elastically under pressure and smoothly enter the first mounting groove 3. When the first slot 5 is aligned with the first locking block 6, the elastic mounting block will reset and the first locking block 6 will be embedded in the first slot 5. At the same time, the second elastic mounting block 8 will enter the second mounting groove 7 and the second locking block 10 will be embedded in the second slot 9, thus completing the rapid fixation of the protective sleeve 12.
[0019] After installation, gently pull the protective sleeve 12 to confirm that it is not loose and that there is no contact or interference between the inner wall of the protective sleeve 12 and the sensing component 2.
[0020] Beneficial effects This device effectively solves the problem of insecure installation of traditional protective structures. The double elastic snap-fit structure, combined with the deformation buffering effect of the elastic mounting block, can absorb the vibration energy during vehicle operation, preventing the sensor component 2 from becoming loose or shifting position. The relative position accuracy between the ultrasonic probe 22 and the reflector plate 23 remains stable, ensuring the accuracy of the SCR system's injection volume control and preventing the vehicle from being limited in torque and speed due to sensor failure. Moreover, it is easy to install and remove without damaging the sensor component 2.
[0021] Overall, this urea sensor protection structure has significantly improved in terms of adaptability and ease of maintenance, comprehensively solving the pain points of traditional protection structures and providing strong support for the stable operation of the SCR system.
