Definitions
- the invention relates to an ultrasonic sensor, consisting of a housing with a plug connection, an ultrasonic transducer and a printed circuit board.
- Ultrasonic sensors that are used in the automotive industry for distance measurement are usually sealed with a casting compound against harmful external influences. For this purpose, the sensors are cast in a complex riser casting process and cured in the oven. In modern ultrasonic sensors, pot-like ultrasonic transducers are often used, which consist of an annular wall and a membrane-like bottom.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an ultrasonic sensor which is compact and which can be assembled and cast easily and cheaply.
- the housing is divided into a carrier and a hood enclosing the carrier and in that the carrier the circuit board, the plug connection and carries the ultrasound transducer.
- the ultrasonic sensor is completely filled with sealing compound and is leakproof. It is therefore protected against external influences.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the ultrasonic sensor according to the invention is that the printed circuit board mounted on the carrier with switching elements is accessible from both sides when the hood is not yet installed.
- the circuit on the circuit board can thus be easily compared and checked and any corrections made easily.
- the carrier has an annular receptacle for the ultrasound transducer and that the plug connection is formed on the carrier, the plug connection being connected to the receptacle by webs.
- the carrier can thus be fitted very easily since the parts of the ultrasonic sensor that have already been installed are fixed to the carrier during the assembly of the remaining parts.
- Another advantageous embodiment of the invention is that two webs are formed laterally on the carrier and the circuit board is mounted between them. This makes the ultrasonic sensor very compact and the circuit board is mechanically well protected.
- the hood is pushed over the carrier along the webs.
- the casting process is simplified because the hood remains fixed during the casting and does not slip can.
- the hood itself is open on two abutting sides. This eliminates the time-consuming process of potting cast conventional sensors; after assembly, the ultrasonic sensor can easily be cast from above.
- Another advantageous embodiment of the invention is that an open side of the hood is closed by a flange formed on the carrier. This simplifies production, since the casting compound does not require any further shape during curing. In addition, there is a mechanically durable connection.
- the ultrasonic transducer is fixed to the carrier with a cap. This also makes assembly easier, since the ultrasound transducer is fixed, and provides a sealed connection to the carrier.
- Fig. 2 shows the pre-assembled ultrasonic sensor before pushing the hood onto the carrier
- Fig. 3 shows the finished ultrasonic sensor. Identical parts are provided with the same reference symbols in the figures. The figures show the embodiment in different assembly states. The emission and reception side is on the left.
- the illustrated ultrasonic sensor consists of an ultrasonic transducer 1 with an elastic decoupling ring 2 and a cap 3.
- the transducer itself contains a mechanism with which ultrasonic waves can be generated and received from electrical signals and converted into electrical signals. Since the ultrasound transducer is a sensitive, oscillating system, it must be decoupled from the rest of the ultrasound sensor and stored in the ultrasound sensor in a vibration-damped manner.
- the decoupling ring 2 is provided for this. In addition to the sealing function, it also dampens unwanted vibrations.
- the carrier 4 consists of a plug connection 5, an annular receptacle 6 for the ultrasonic transducer 1 with a latching groove 7 for the cap 3 and two connecting webs 8 which connect the receptacle 6 of the ultrasonic transducer 1 with the plug connection 5.
- the ultrasonic transducer 1 is fastened with the cap 3 in its receptacle 6 on the carrier 4.
- the circuit board 9 is with the connecting lines of the ultrasonic transducer 12 and Plug connection 13 connected and fixed in the carrier 4.
- the hood 10 is pushed over the carrier 4 and the ultrasonic sensor is completely filled with sealing compound, so that it becomes tight against environmental influences.
- the potting compound 17 (Fig. 3) fills all cavities in the ultrasonic transducer and around the circuit board and ensures a mechanically durable and sealed encapsulation of the ultrasonic sensor.
