Support for an electronic module of a pressure measurement sensor
View Patent ↗A support ( 17 ) for an electronic module ( 7 ) for generating a signal, this module being intended to be inserted into a sensor ( 1 ) for measuring the pressure of the gases contained in a vehicle cylinder, the support ( 17 ) including a portion ( 19 ) for receiving the electronic module ( 7 ) and elements ( 25 ) for retaining the electronic module ( 7 ) on the receiving portion ( 19 ), the electronic module ( 7 ) including a body ( 8 ), the receiving portion ( 19 ) including elements ( 31 a, 31 b ) for attaching the retaining elements ( 25 ), and the retaining elements ( 25 ) being configured to pivot between an open position (PO) in which the electronic module ( 7 ) can be placed on the receiving portion ( 19 ) and a closed position in which the retaining elements ( 25 ) are attached to the attachment elements ( 31 a, 31 b ) in order to retain the body ( 8 ) of the electronic module ( 7 ) on the support ( 17 ).
1. A support ( 17 ) for an electronic module ( 7 ) for generating a signal, this module being intended to be inserted into a sensor ( 1 ) for measuring the pressure of the gases contained in a vehicle cylinder, said support ( 17 ) comprising a portion ( 19 ) for receiving said electronic module ( 7 ) and means ( 25 ) for retaining the electronic module ( 7 ) on said receiving portion ( 19 ), the electronic module ( 7 ) comprising a body ( 8 ), wherein the receiving portion ( 19 ) comprises means ( 31 a , 31 b ) for attaching said retaining means ( 25 ), and the retaining means ( 25 ) are configured to pivot between an open position (PO) in which the electronic module ( 7 ) can be placed on the receiving portion ( 19 ) and a closed position (PF) in which the retaining means ( 25 ) are attached to the attachment means ( 31 a , 31 b ) in order to retain the body ( 8 ) of the electronic module ( 7 ) on the support ( 17 ).
2. The support as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the retaining means comprise at least one cover ( 25 ) configured to come into contact with a wall ( 29 ) of an electronic module ( 7 ).
3. The support as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the retaining means comprise a single cover ( 25 ).
4. The support as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the retaining means ( 25 ) are made in one piece with the support ( 17 ).
5. The support as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the attachment means comprise at least one lug ( 31 a , 31 b ) comprising a protrusion ( 33 a , 33 b ) for securing the retaining means ( 25 ).
6. The support as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the attachment means ( 31 a , 31 b ) are made in one piece with the support ( 17 ).
7. The support as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the retaining means ( 25 ) comprise at least one rib ( 37 ) arranged to lock the support ( 17 ) in a body ( 2 ) of a sensor ( 1 ).
8. The support as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising means ( 31 a , 35 a , 35 b ) for positioning the electronic module ( 7 ).
9. A pressure measurement sensor ( 1 ) for a vehicle cylinder, said sensor ( 1 ) comprising a support ( 17 ) as claimed in claim 1 and an electronic module ( 13 ) for generating a pressure signal, mounted on said support between the retaining means ( 25 ) and the receiving portion ( 19 ).
10. A vehicle comprising an engine, at least one cylinder and at least one sensor ( 1 ) for measuring the pressure of the gases contained in said cylinder as claimed in the claim 9 .
