Sensor housing and sensor
The invention relates to a sensor housing, which has a base body ( 10 ) and a media contacting cap ( 20 ). The media contacting cap ( 20 ) is arranged partially in a recess ( 11 ) of the base body ( 10 ) in a detachable manner. It has an annularly running recess ( 21 ) for partially receiving a sealing element ( 60 ) for a metal clamp connection. Furthermore, the invention relates to a sensor. This has a measuring element ( 30 ), which is arranged in the media contacting cap ( 20 ) of the sensor housing.
1. Sensor housing, comprising:
a base body; and
a media contacting cap;
wherein the media contacting cap is arranged partially in a first recess of the base body in a detachable manner;
further wherein the media contacting cap has a second recess running annularly for partially receiving a sealing element for a metal clamp connection;
further wherein the media contacting cap has a discoid section and at least one hollow-cylindrical section, wherein the discoid section is arranged in the first recess of the base body, and the second recess is arranged in the discoid section.
2. The sensor housing of claim 1 , further wherein the base body is a metal or a metal alloy, and the media contacting cap is at least one plastic.
3. The sensor housing of claim 1 , further comprising a sealing element, which engages into the second recess of the media contacting cap with an engagement region.
4. The sensor housing of claim 3 , further comprising a welding flange, wherein the engagement region of the sealing element engages into a third recess of the welding flange.
5. The sensor housing of claim 4 , further comprising a fastening clamp, which fixedly clamps the housing, the sealing element and the welding flange to one another.
6. The sensor housing of claim 5 , further wherein the sealing element extends between the housing and the fastening clamp.
7. The sensor housing of claim 1 , further comprising a sensor having a measuring element, wherein the sensor is arranged in the media contacting cap of the sensor housing.
8. The sensor housing of claim 7 , further wherein the measuring element is a capacitive measuring element.
9. The sensor housing of claim 7 , further wherein the sensor element is arranged in a section of the media contacting cap, which extends along the longitudinal axis of the sensor beyond a welding flange.
10. The sensor housing of claim 7 , further wherein the measuring element is surrounded by an insulation cap, which extends into the base body.
