Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sensor technology, and in particular to a small-volume exhaust pressure sensor structure. Background Technology
[0002] During engine operation, exhaust pressure is an important operating parameter. Accurate monitoring of exhaust pressure helps improve engine combustion efficiency, reduce emissions, and detect exhaust system malfunctions in a timely manner.
[0003] Currently available exhaust pressure sensors have some shortcomings. Some sensors are prone to measurement inaccuracies under complex exhaust environments such as high temperatures and vibrations, resulting in inaccurate measurement data that cannot provide reliable information for engine control and fault diagnosis. Other sensors have unreasonable structural designs, making installation and maintenance inconvenient and increasing usage and time costs. In addition, some sensors have poor sealing, making them prone to gas leakage under the high pressure of the exhaust system, which not only affects measurement results but may also pose safety hazards. Therefore, improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides a small-volume exhaust pressure sensor structure with excellent sealing performance, capable of maintaining high-precision pressure measurement under complex environments such as high temperature and vibration. It features a compact structure, convenient installation and maintenance, and can meet higher usage requirements. It solves the technical problems existing in the current exhaust pressure sensor structure design, such as inconvenience in installation and maintenance, poor sealing of some sensors, and easy gas leakage under high pressure environment of exhaust system, which not only affects the measurement results but may also pose safety hazards.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical problem of this utility model is solved by the following technical solution: a small-volume exhaust pressure sensor structure includes an integrally formed sensor housing, a sensing hole integrally formed at the bottom of the sensor housing, a positioning groove formed inside the sensor housing, and a pressure sensing chip installed in the positioning groove; a sealing element is provided at the bottom of the pressure sensing chip, and a positioning element for fixing the pressure sensing chip is provided in the positioning groove; potting compound is provided above the pressure sensing chip, and a cover plate is fixed to the top of the sensor housing. The sensor housing of this utility model is integrally formed, with a pre-formed concave positioning groove, the pressure sensing chip is installed in the positioning groove, and the top of the pressure sensing chip is sealed by potting compound.
[0006] Preferably, the positioning component includes several hot-riveting posts integrally formed at the bottom of the positioning groove, and the pressure sensing chip is fixed inside the sensor housing by the hot-riveting posts. The number and position of the hot-riveting posts can be adjusted according to requirements. This utility model is illustrated using four hot-riveting posts as an example, and the pressure sensing chip is fixed inside the sensor housing by hot riveting process.
[0007] Preferably, the sensor housing has an integrally formed connector on the left side, and the sensor housing is encapsulated with pins that extend to the connector. In this invention, the pins are encapsulated within the sensor housing, one end of the pin is electrically connected to the pressure sensing chip via laser welding, and the other end of the pin extends to the connector.
[0008] Preferably, the sealing element includes a dispensing groove formed at the bottom of the positioning groove inside the sensor housing, with an annular pressure sealant inside the dispensing groove. This invention uses a high-precision piezoresistive sensor chip as the pressure-sensitive element. The pressure-sensing chip is fixed to the dispensing groove by the pressure sealant, and the pressure sealant and the top potting compound can provide vibration damping. The pressure sealant and potting compound act as an elastic buffer layer to improve its vibration resistance and ensure measurement accuracy. The dual sealing measures achieved through the potting compound and pressure sealant effectively prevent gas leakage, ensuring measurement accuracy and safety, and avoiding safety hazards and measurement errors caused by gas leakage.
[0009] Preferably, the right side of the sensor housing is covered with a plastic-coated insert ring. In this invention, both the pins and the insert ring are encased in plastic within the sensor housing; the insert ring is used to increase the strength of the mating plastic parts with the client.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the sensor housing is integrally formed with a mating interface corresponding to the pressure sensing chip, and a sealing ring is fitted on the outside of the mating interface. The mating interface is formed correspondingly to the sensing hole and the pressure sensing chip for mating with the client, and the sealing ring on the outside of the mating interface ensures a tight seal when mating with the client.
