Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of injection molded housing technology, and more specifically, to an airtight and waterproof injection molded housing for automotive sensors. Background Technology
[0002] The injection-molded housing of automotive sensors can achieve high-precision sealing through the injection molding process, preventing dust, mud, and coolant from entering and avoiding short circuits or corrosion. Through the deep integration of materials science, precision manufacturing, and functional design, it has become a core component to ensure sensor performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
[0003] Among the existing publicly available documents, patent publication number CN210603241U discloses a secondary injection molding structure for an automotive camshaft position sensor. This technology utilizes countersunk holes on the top stepped surface of the plastic housing and an annular groove on the top stop surface. Without increasing costs, it achieves a fully sealed product after secondary injection molding, while ensuring seamless connection between the terminals and the housing, thus enhancing both sealing performance and appearance quality. However, this technology still has the following problems.
[0004] While the injection-molded housing of automotive sensors provides external protection for the sensors, it is susceptible to deformation under pressure. This deformation can easily create gaps in the injection-molded sealing areas, resulting in poor airtightness and waterproofing. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an airtight and waterproof injection-molded housing for an automotive sensor, comprising a housing, an end shell at one end of the housing, a sealing cap installed on the inner wall of the end shell, and a reinforcing member on one end face of the sealing cap, the reinforcing member comprising: A reinforcing ring is fixedly located on one end face of the sealing cover. Multiple connecting strips are fixed to the outer wall of the reinforcing ring, and a vertical strip is fixedly connected to one end of each connecting strip. The outer ring is located on the outer wall of the vertical bars, and all of the vertical bars are fixedly connected to the outer ring.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the outer shell, the end shell, and the sealing cap are all integrally injection molded, and the outer wall diameter of the end shell is larger than the outer wall diameter of the outer shell.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the plurality of connecting strips and the plurality of vertical strips are arranged in a circumferential distribution, and the vertical strips and connecting strips are integrally formed by injection molding.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the outer ring and the end shell are integrally formed by injection molding, and the vertical cross-sectional shape of the outer ring is circular.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the plurality of strips are integrally formed with the outer ring by injection molding, and the plurality of strips are arranged in a circumferentially equidistant distribution.
[0011] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model provides airtight protection for the end of the automotive sensor by using a reinforcing member and a sealing cover. The sealing cover supports a reinforcing ring, which in turn supports multiple connecting strips. The connecting strips support vertical strips, which provide reinforcement to the outer ring. The connection between the sealing cover and the end shell prevents deformation and cracking, and improves the effectiveness of preventing water vapor from entering. 2. This utility model uses an outer ring to support the strip body, and the strip supports the ring. The strip body, the strip body, and the ring all provide a wrapping reinforcement to the outer wall of the shell, preventing deformation and cracking, and providing better waterproofing.

[0017] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] like Figure 1 - Figure 4The invention shown is an airtight and waterproof injection-molded housing for an automotive sensor, comprising a housing 1, an end shell 2 at one end of the housing 1, a sealing cap 3 installed on the inner wall of the end shell 2, and a reinforcing member on one end face of the sealing cap 3, the reinforcing member comprising: a reinforcing ring 4, fixedly located on one end face of the sealing cap 3, a plurality of connecting strips 5 fixedly fixed on the outer wall of the reinforcing ring 4, and a vertical strip 6 fixedly connected to one end of each connecting strip 5; and an outer ring 7, located on the outer wall of the vertical strips 6, the plurality of vertical strips 6 being fixedly connected to the outer ring 7.
[0019] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 - Figure 2 As shown, the outer shell 1, the end shell 2, and the sealing cover 3 are all integrally injection molded. The outer diameter of the end shell 2 is larger than the outer diameter of the outer shell 1, so that the outer shell 1, the end shell 2, and the sealing cover 3 can all wrap and protect the automotive sensor.
[0020] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 - Figure 3 As shown, multiple connecting strips 5 and multiple vertical strips 6 are arranged in a circular pattern. The vertical strips 6 and connecting strips 5 are integrally molded by injection molding, so that the connecting strips 5 and vertical strips 6 can form a circumferential reinforcement, resulting in a better reinforcement effect.
[0021] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the outer ring 7 and the end shell 2 are integrally formed by injection molding. The vertical cross-section of the outer ring 7 is circular to facilitate a stable connection between the outer ring 7 and the end shell 2 and increase the edge strength of the end shell 2.
[0022] This airtight and waterproof automotive sensor injection-molded housing, when in use, is airtight and waterproof by the outer shell 1 and the end shell 2 wrapping around the outside of the automotive sensor. At the same time, the end shell 2 supports the sealing cover 3, which provides airtight protection for the end of the automotive sensor. The sealing cover 3 supports the reinforcing ring 4, which supports multiple connecting strips 5. The connecting strips 5 support vertical strips 6, which provide reinforcement to the outer ring 7. Furthermore, the end shell 2 and the outer ring 7 are integrally molded by injection molding, which greatly improves the compressive deformation strength. In this way, the connection between the sealing cover 3 and the end shell 2 is prevented from deformation and cracking, and the waterproofing effect is better.
[0023] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the outer wall of the outer ring 7 is provided with multiple strips 8, and a support strip 9 is fixed to one end of each strip 8. A support ring 10 is installed at one end of the support strip 9. The support ring 10 and the support strip 9 are integrally formed with the outer shell 1 by injection molding. The multiple strips 8 are integrally formed with the outer ring 7 by injection molding, and the multiple strips 8 are arranged in a circumferentially equidistant distribution.
[0024] When this technology is in use, when the external support bar 9 is compressed, the outer ring 7 supports the bar body 8, the bar body 8 supports the support bar 9, and the support bar 9 supports the support ring 10. In this way, the support bar 9, the bar body 8, and the support ring 10 all provide a wrapping reinforcement support for the outer wall of the outer shell 1, and the left end of the outer shell 1 is prevented from deforming and cracking at the connection with the car sensor.
[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
