Abstract

A case is provided for holding an ultraviolet detecting device in a state wherein an electrode-side terminal portion of the ultraviolet detecting device is inserted into one end portion. A conducting portion is provided connected on one end to an electrode terminal portion of the ultraviolet detecting device with the other end led out from the other end portion of the case. A sealing member is provided attached removably to the case. The sealing member seals airtight between the inside and the outside of the case in a state wherein a cable of the conducting portion passes therethrough.

Claims (28)

1. An electronic device holding socket, comprising:

a case holding an electronic device in a state wherein an electrode-side terminal portion of the electronic device is inserted into one end portion;

a conducting portion connected on one end to an electrode portion of the electronic device and wherein the other end is led out from the other end portion of the case; and

a sealing member sealing airtightly between an inside and an outside of the case in a state wherein the conducting portion passes therethrough, provided attached removably to the case, wherein

the case is formed in a shape of a cylinder, having an opening portion into which the electronic device is inserted, and a dividing wall through which the conducting portion passes,

the dividing wall is formed so as to divide the case into the inside and the outside,

a retaining member is provided connected to the dividing wall on the inside of the case,

the sealing member forms, from an elastic member that is monolithic, a seal portion between the dividing wall and the conducting portion, and a bearing portion that extends from the seal portion between the dividing wall and the retaining member, and

the bearing portion is pressed by the retaining member to press against the dividing wall.

2. The electronic device holding socket as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising:

a part of the dividing wall, through which the conducting portion passes, being formed by a through hole;

a part of the conducting portion, which passes through the through hole, being formed by a cable; and

an opening edge portion of the through hole of the dividing wall, on the inside of the case, being formed into a tapered surface wherein an opening dimension gradually gets smaller towards the dividing wall.

3. The electronic device holding socket as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

the retaining member is connected to the dividing wall by a bolt that passes through the dividing wall and the sealing member.

4. The electronic device holding socket as set forth in claim 1 , wherein

the retaining member is provided with a stopper that extends towards the dividing wall.

5. A flame sensor comprising:

an ultraviolet detecting device as an electronic device; and

an electronic device holding socket, the ultraviolet detecting device being held in the electronic device holding socket, the electronic device holding socket having:

a case holding an electronic device in a state wherein an electrode-side terminal portion of the electronic device is inserted into one end portion;

a conducting portion connected on one end to an electrode portion of the electronic device and wherein the other end is led out from the other end portion of the case; and

a sealing member sealing airtightly between an inside and an outside of the case in a state wherein the conducting portion passes therethrough, provided attached removably to the case, wherein

the case is formed in a shape of a cylinder, having an opening portion into which the electronic device is inserted, and a dividing wall through which the conducting portion passes,

the dividing wall is formed so as to divide the case into the inside and the outside,

a retaining member is provided connected to the dividing wall on the inside of the case,

the sealing member forms, from an elastic member that is monolithic, a seal portion between the dividing wall and the conducting portion, and a bearing portion that extends from the seal portion between the dividing wall and the retaining member, and

the bearing portion is pressed by the retaining member to press against the dividing wall.
