[0022] Specifically, this utility model provides a small, high-precision magnetic micro-sensor with a C-groove adapter, comprising two parts: a mechanical structure and a circuit system. The mechanical part: the sensor housing has an overall arc-shaped design, with its back near the cylinder mounting slot featuring a large-radius arc surface matching the C-groove. This arc-shaped housing is integrally injection molded from impact-resistant engineering plastic (such as PBT). A PCB board is encapsulated inside the arc-shaped housing. A three-core cable 20 (positive, negative, and signal output terminals) extends from one end of the housing 10. A transparent window 90 is provided on the surface of the housing 10 for observing the internal LED indicator. The circuit system: the circuit system is integrated onto a single PCB board, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, its specific structure and connection relationships are as follows: Power input terminals: labeled "positive (brown wire)" and "negative (blue wire)," connected to 10-30V. DC power supply; Reverse polarity protection unit 30 is implemented by diode D1 (model IPS798B30), whose anode is connected to the "positive terminal" of the power supply and the cathode is connected to the subsequent circuit; when the power supply is reversed, D1 is reverse cut off, effectively protecting the subsequent circuit from damage; Surge absorption protection unit 40 is implemented by transient voltage suppression diode TVS1 (model SMF4L30A), TVS1 is connected in parallel at the power input terminal (between the anode of D1 and the negative terminal of the power input terminal), used to absorb instantaneous high voltage surge pulses on the power line; Power supply filtering unit 50 is composed of capacitors C2 (10nF) and C3 (1uF), connected in parallel on the power line, used to filter out high frequency and low frequency power supply noise, and provide a stable and clean working voltage for the chip; Core sensing and driving unit (sensing driving unit 60) is composed of dedicated sensor chip U1 and its peripheral circuits. The VDD pin of (sensor chip) U1 is connected to the power supply, the GND pin is grounded, and the ISOURCE pin of U1 provides a constant current source for the magnetic sensing element (integrated internally, not shown in the figure) through resistor R1 (10K); After internal processing, the induced signal is output from the DRV-R pin to drive the signal indicator D2 (LED_R) and control the base (G) of the output transistor. Capacitor C1 (5nF) is connected to a specific pin of U1 (such as the filter or frequency setting pin) to stabilize the internal circuit operation. The status indicator unit 80 consists of a red light-emitting diode D2 (LED_R) and a current-limiting resistor R2 (100R) connected in series between the DRV-R pin of U1 and the positive power supply. When a magnetic field is detected, the DRV-R outputs current and lights up D2. The signal output unit 70 uses a PNP transistor output (marked as "PNP (black line)" in the figure). The emitter (S) of the transistor is connected to the positive power supply, the collector (D) is used as the signal output terminal, and the base (G) is controlled by the DRV-R pin of U1. When a magnetic field is detected, the transistor conducts and outputs a high level. The transistor Q1 is a BSS84AKW PNP transistor.
[0023] In practical applications, after the sensor is powered on, when the magnetic ring on the cylinder piston moves to the sensing area, the magnetic sensing element inside U1 senses the change in magnetic field, and U1 controls the output current of the DRV-R pin. This current illuminates the red LED (D2) for visual indication and drives the PNP transistor to saturate and conduct, thereby outputting a signal from the "PNP (black line)" terminal. By setting up a polarity reverse connection protection unit 30, a surge absorption protection unit 40, a power supply filtering unit 50, a sensing drive unit 60, and a signal output unit 70 on the PCB board, the sensing drive unit 60 can sense the magnetic field signal of the magnetic ring on the cylinder piston moving to the preset sensing area and control the signal output unit 70 to output the electrical signal corresponding to the magnetic field information. It has multiple protections, is a highly reliable circuit that can adapt to harsh electrical environments, can clearly display the status and is easy to observe. It can effectively solve the shortcomings of existing magnetic sensors in terms of installation convenience, environmental adaptability and electrical reliability, and improve the durability and reliability of magnetic micro-sensors in complex application scenarios.
