[0016] To make the technical means, creative features, and achieved objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model is further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. However, the following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described in the implementation plan without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0017] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Specific Implementation Example 1: Reference Figure 1-4A quartz crystal oscillator race with thermal expansion matching includes a race body 1. The bottom of the race body 1 is provided with a welded step 5, and the top of the welded step 5 is welded to the bottom of the race body 1. The race body 1 is made of a composite material of alloy and ceramic microparticles sintered together. The top side of the race body 1 is provided with a chamfered area 4, and the top of the chamfered area 4 is rounded. The bottom of the welded step 5 is provided with a positioning hole 7, and the positioning hole 7 at the bottom of the welded step 5 is cut. The bottom of the positioning hole 7 is provided with a positioning step 6, and the top of the positioning step 6 is bonded to the positioning hole 7. The bottom of the positioning step 6 is provided with two electrode leads 10, and the tops of the two electrode leads 10 pass through the positioning step 6 and the welded step 5 and are electrically connected to the quartz crystal oscillator 3, thereby serving as the output of the quartz crystal oscillator 3. A heat stress relief layer 9 is provided on one side of the welded step 5, and the heat stress relief layer 9 wraps around the outside of the welded step 5. A welding connection layer 8 is provided on the top of the welded step 5, and the bottom of the welding connection layer 8 is positioned and connected to the top of the welded step 5. The top of the welded step 5 is rounded. A quartz crystal oscillator 3 is provided on the top of the welded step 5, and the bottom of the quartz crystal oscillator 3 is fitted to the top of the welded step 5. The inside of the seat ring body 1 is provided with a device cavity 2. An equipment cavity 2 is provided inside the seat ring body 1. The equipment cavity 2 is formed by shelling, and the inner top of the seat ring body 1 has a chamfered area 4. The equipment cavity 2 is used to reduce the overall weight and heat capacity, and at the same time form a buffer to suppress the thermal conduction stress of the seat ring on the crystal plate. At the same time, an arc chamfer is set on the inner edge of the central cavity to prevent scratches on the edge of the quartz crystal oscillator 3 during assembly, avoiding microcracks and mechanical stress concentration. The central hollow structure reduces the overall weight and heat capacity, and forms a physical buffer to reduce the direct conduction stress of the seat ring on the quartz crystal oscillator 3 due to thermal expansion or contraction caused by temperature changes. It also avoids crystal plate deformation or damage caused by differences in thermal expansion coefficients, and improves the oscillator's performance in temperature fluctuation environments. The hollow design reduces the thermal coupling between the housing ring and the crystal chip, minimizing thermal shock interference to the crystal resonant frequency and ensuring the frequency accuracy of the oscillator. A positioning hole 7 is located at the bottom of the solder seal step 5, and a positioning step 6 is located at the bottom of the positioning hole 7. This design, along with the positioning step 6, enhances the reliability and assembly accuracy of the hermetic sealing. The solder seal step 5 and the positioning hole 7 form a longitudinal insertion structure, allowing the metal top cover, quartz crystal oscillator 3, and ceramic base to automatically align during packaging. The solder seal step 5 provides a flat welding surface, and the positioning hole 7 structure ensures a tighter fit between the upper and lower packages, preventing gaps. During welding, the solder will not form bubbles or incomplete welds due to displacement or warping, ultimately resulting in a completely sealed structure with stable solder joints. Specific Implementation Example 2: Reference Figure 1-4Based on the basic structure in Specific Embodiment 1, a flexible buffer layer is added to one side of the welded connection layer 8. After the flexible buffer layer is added, when the temperature rises or falls, the flexible buffer layer can absorb the stress generated by thermal expansion, avoiding crystal breakage or solder fatigue. The further technical solution solves the problem that the crystal is easily subjected to mechanical impact or continuous micro-vibration during transportation, installation or operation.
[0020] In summary: The device employs a hollow cavity 2 within the body 1 of the mounting ring. The cavity 2 is shell-extracted, and the top inner part of the mounting ring 1 has a chamfered area 4. This allows the cavity 2 to reduce the overall weight and heat capacity, while also forming a buffer zone to suppress the thermal stress conducted by the mounting ring to the crystal plate. Additionally, a rounded chamfer is provided at the inner edge of the central cavity to prevent scratching the edges of the quartz crystal oscillator 3 during assembly, avoiding microcracks and mechanical stress concentration. The central hollow structure reduces the overall weight and heat capacity, forming a physical buffer zone that reduces the direct stress conducted by the mounting ring to the quartz crystal oscillator 3 due to thermal expansion or contraction caused by temperature changes. This prevents deformation or damage to the crystal plate caused by differences in thermal expansion coefficients, improving the oscillator's operational stability under fluctuating temperature conditions. Furthermore, the hollow design reduces the thermal coupling between the mounting ring and the crystal plate, minimizing the interference of thermal shock on the crystal resonant frequency and ensuring the oscillator's frequency accuracy. The design incorporates a positioning hole 7 at the bottom of the welding step 5, and a positioning step 6 at the bottom of the positioning hole 7. This design improves the reliability and assembly accuracy of the hermetic sealing. The welding step 5 and the positioning hole 7 form a longitudinal insertion structure, allowing the metal top cover, quartz crystal oscillator 3, and ceramic base to be automatically guided and aligned during encapsulation. The welding step 5 provides a flat welding surface, and the positioning hole 7 structure ensures a tighter fit between the upper and lower encapsulation components, preventing gaps. During welding, the solder will not form bubbles or incomplete welds due to displacement or warping, ultimately resulting in a completely sealed structure with stable solder joints.
