Sensing device with a sealing structure
A sensing device with a sealing structure for measuring fluid characteristics by a photoelectric method is disclosed. The sensing device includes an electrode head having an outer side which contacts a fluid to be measured and one or more windows arranged in respective window openings which extend between an inner and an outer face of a wall of the electrode head. At least two sealing structures seal the one or more windows and the respective window openings. A first of the at least two sealing structures is bonded, welded, or provides an interference fit. The sensing device can be used to seal the product in high temperature, high pressure, and corrosive environment, so that the product has high air tightness and is stable and reliable for a long time. In addition, the sealing structure of the product is easy to clean.
1. A sensing device with a sealing structure for measuring fluid characteristics by a photoelectric method, said sensing device comprising:
an electrode head;
one or more windows, wherein an outer side of the electrode head is configured to be placed in contact with a fluid to be measured, and the one or more windows are arranged in respective window openings which extend between an inner and an outer face of a wall of the electrode head; and
at least two sealing structures sealing the one or more windows and the respective window opening, wherein a first one of the at least two sealing structures comprises bonded molecules, welded material, or an interference fit.
2. The sensing device with the sealing structure of claim 1 , wherein the electrode head has an inwardly recessed structure, and the one or more windows is disposed in a groove of the inwardly recessed structure.
3. The sensing device with the sealing structure of claim 1 , wherein a second one of the at least two sealing structures comprises an elastic seal provided between the one or more windows and the window opening.
4. The sensing device with the sealing structure of claim 3 , wherein:
the window opening has a stepped structure comprising a section with a greater opening and a section with a smaller opening; and
the elastic seal is arranged in the section with the greater opening.
5. The sensing device with the sealing structure of claim 3 , wherein the elastic seal comprises a sealing ring.
6. The sensing device with the sealing structure of claim 5 , wherein the sealing ring comprises an O-shaped elastomer.
7. The sensing device with the sealing structure of claim 3 , wherein:
the sensing device further comprises a sealing ring pressing plate; and
the sealing ring pressing plate is disposed on the inner face of the wall of the electrode head at a position corresponding to the position of the elastic seal, such that pressing the sealing ring against the inner face of the wall compresses the elastic seal.
8. The sensing device with the sealing structure of claim 7 , wherein the sealing ring pressing plate has a through hole in the center that fits a size and position of the window.
9. The sensing device with a sealing structure of claim 1 , wherein the one or more windows comprise organic glass, glass or industrial sapphire.
10. The sensing device with a sealing structure of claim 1 , wherein the first sealing structure is configured to prevent an external liquid from entering the sensing device.
11. The sensing device with a sealing structure of claim 3 , wherein the second sealing structure is configured to effectively continue to maintain sealing where leakage occurs at the first one of the at least two sealing structures.
12. A sensing device with a sealing structure for measuring fluid characteristics by a photoelectric method, said sensing device comprising:
an electrode head;
one or more windows, wherein an outer side of the electrode head is in contact with a fluid to be measured, and the one or more windows are arranged in respective window openings which extend between an inner and an outer face of a wall of the electrode head; and
at least two sealing structures sealing the one or more windows and the respective window opening, wherein a first one of the at least two sealing structures is formed by bonding, welding, or an interference fit;
wherein the first sealing structure provides a liquid-tight seal.
13. The sensing device with a sealing structure of claim 12 wherein:
a second one of the at least two sealing structures comprises an elastic seal provided between the one or more windows and the window opening.
14. The sensing device with a sealing structure of claim 13 , wherein the second one of the at least two sealing structures is configured to provide a liquid-tight seal against leakage at the first one of the at least two sealing structures.
