Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a temperature sensor, particularly adapted for measuring the temperature of motor vehicle gases such as gases in the engine compartment.
  • Such sensors are known for example from documents FR 2 847 979, FR 2 880 685 or FR 2 864234.
  • These sensors comprise a temperature-sensitive element connected to the outside with an electrical / electronic circuit for operating a measurement signal.
  • the temperature-sensitive element is disposed in a peripheral envelope which is inserted into a corresponding cavity of a body (for example the cylinder head of an engine) whose temperature is to be known.
  • the senor is screwed into this corresponding cavity so that the closed end of the peripheral envelope is disposed as close as possible to the temperature zone that is to be measured.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these problems by proposing a temperature sensor, a manufacturing method and an assembly method capable of overcoming the difficulties of the state of the art without increasing costs and manufacturing time.
  • the invention provides a temperature sensor comprising: a temperature-sensitive element and a peripheral envelope receiving the temperature-sensitive element at a closed end, the peripheral envelope being able to be inserted into a corresponding cavity, characterized in that the closed end of the peripheral envelope comprises a peripheral portion releasing at the end of the closed end a flexible assembly abutment consecutively to said peripheral portion, said stop being capable of deforming towards the peripheral portion by cooperation shape with the bottom of the corresponding cavity.
  • the flexible assembly stop has a disc shape
  • the peripheral portion has a frustoconical shape
  • the flexible assembly stop and the peripheral portion of the peripheral envelope are formed in one piece
  • the peripheral envelope is metallic
  • the temperature-sensitive element is a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) type thermistor or a CTN (Negative Temperature Coefficient).
  • the subject of the invention is also a method for manufacturing a temperature sensor as previously described, characterized in that the flexible assembly abutment and the peripheral portion are produced by turning by machining a groove of triangular cross-section in the region. peripheral envelope.
  • the invention further relates to a method of assembling a temperature sensor in a corresponding cavity, the temperature sensor comprising a temperature-sensitive element and a peripheral envelope receiving the temperature-sensitive element at a closed end.
  • the peripheral envelope fitting into said cavity characterized in that it comprises:
  • FIG. 1 represents a view partly in longitudinal section of a temperature sensor according to the invention being assembled in a cavity
  • FIG. 2 represents an enlarged view of a portion of the sensor of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 represents the sensor of FIG. 1 when assembled in the cavity
  • FIG. 4 represents an enlarged view of a portion of the sensor of FIG. 3.
  • the temperature sensor 1 illustrated in FIG. 1 comprises a temperature sensitive element 3, a wiring element 5 connected to the temperature sensitive element 3 and a peripheral envelope 7 enveloping the temperature sensitive element 3 to a closed end 9.
  • the temperature sensitive element 3 is for example a thermistor.
  • the thermistor is a passive component in semiconductor material whose resistance varies according to the temperature and can be of the type "CTN", negative temperature coefficient (or “NTC”, Negative Temperature Coefficient in English) when the temperature decreases in depending on the temperature rise or type "CTP” positive temperature coefficient (or “PTC”, Positive Temperature Coefficient in English) otherwise.
  • the wiring element 5 is connected to the temperature sensitive element 3 to route a temperature signal to a processing unit.
  • the wiring element 5 comprises two electrical conductors in contact with the temperature sensitive element 3 and travels along the peripheral envelope 7 to be accessible outside the it and to provide an electrical information representative of the resistance of the element 3 and therefore the measured temperature.
  • the peripheral casing 7 is of elongate and cylindrical general shape, the longitudinal direction of which corresponds to the direction of the electric wires 5, so that it can be inserted into a corresponding cavity 11.
  • the corresponding cavity 11 is formed in a body 13 whose temperature is to be measured, for example in the motor cylinder head of a motor vehicle.
  • the cavity 11 is of tubular shape and the bottom 15 of the cavity 11, generally of conical shape, is disposed closest to the zone whose temperature is to be measured.
  • peripheral envelope 7 advantageously comprises a threaded portion 17 adapted to be screwed into a corresponding threaded portion 19 of the cavity 11 to fix the sensor 1 to the body 13.
  • the sensor 1 further comprises external fixing means 14 making it possible to grip the sensor 1 to screw it and / or to unscrew it in the body 13.
  • the external fixing means 14 are formed by a bolt.
  • the closed end 9 of the peripheral envelope 7 comprises a thinned peripheral portion 21 that releases at the end of the closed end 9, a flexible assembly stop 23 consecutively to said thinned portion 21, the abutment 23 being capable of deforming towards the thinned peripheral portion 21 by shape cooperation with the bottom 15 of the corresponding cavity 11.
  • the abutment 23 then deforms towards the thinned peripheral portion 21 by shape cooperation with the bottom 15 of the corresponding cavity 11 as can be seen in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • the end 9 of the deformed peripheral envelope 7 is then in contact with the bottom 15 of the cavity 11, which allows a better heat exchange between the sensor and the body 13, by conduction of the temperature. This gives a temperature measurement with a decreased response time and increased accuracy.
  • the flexible assembly stop 23 has a disc shape.
  • the disc 23 is disposed coaxially with the peripheral envelope 7.
  • the contact surface between the stop 23 and the cavity 11 is larger, making it possible to optimize the heat exchange and thus further reduce the response time of the sensor 1.
  • the deformation of the abutment 23 towards the thinned portion 21 makes it possible to optimize the thermal conduction locally in the zone from which it is desired to measure the temperature and to bring the temperature-sensitive element 3 as close as possible to the bottom 15. the cavity 11 3 which further increases the accuracy of the measurement.
  • the thinned peripheral portion 21 has a frustoconical shape, the top of which adjoins the flexible assembly stop 23.
  • the flexible assembly stop 23 and the thinned peripheral portion 21 of the peripheral envelope 7 are formed. in one piece.
  • the flexible assembly stop 23 is produced by turning by machining a groove of triangular section in the peripheral envelope 7.
  • the disc-shaped abutment 23 is therefore easily realizable and does not require any resumption of machining.
  • the senor 1 In operation and in a first step (FIGS. 1 and 2), the sensor 1 is assembled in the corresponding cavity 11 so as to position a flexible assembly stop 23 of the closed end 9 of the peripheral envelope 7 facing the bottom 15. of the corresponding cavity 11.
  • the assembly of the sensor 1 in the cavity 11 can be achieved by screwing the sensor 1 into the threaded portion of the corresponding cavity 11 until it abuts in the bottom 15 of the corresponding cavity 11. It is expected that the length of the peripheral envelope 7 is substantially equal to the depth of the corresponding cavity 11 but with a clearance J in the assembly of the sensor 1 in the cavity 11, so that during assembly, when the flexible assembly stop 23 is in contact with the bottom 15 of the cavity 11, the sensor 1, which is then not completely screwed into the cavity 11, protrudes slightly from the cavity 11.
  • This clearance J corresponds to the distance that can still go through the sensor 1 from its abutment position 23 undeformed in the assembled state, that is to say with the flexible abutment 23 deformed.
  • a second step (FIGS. 3 and 4), projecting walls of the flexible assembly abutment 23 are deformed at least partially in the direction of the thinned peripheral portion 21 of the closed end 9 of the peripheral envelope 7 by cooperation of formed between the abutment 23 and the bottom 15 of the cavity 11.
  • This operation is performed by applying a greater force by screwing the temperature sensor 1 allowing the deformation of the flexible assembly abutment 23.
  • the protruding portions of the flexible abutment assembly 23 then deform outwardly, taking the shape of the conical bottom 15 of the cavity 11.
  • the assembly is completed when the external fastening means 14 are in contact with the body 13. It is no longer possible to screw the sensor 1, which ensures not to damage the sensor 1 and to deform optimally the flexible assembly stop 23 in the cavity 11.
