Hermetic Pressure Transducer
US Patent:
6672170, Jan 6, 2004
Filed:
Jan 13, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/341296
Inventors:
David J. DiPaola - Attleboro MA
Assignee:
Texas Instruments Incorporated - Dallas TX
International Classification:
G01L 900
US Classification:
73717, 73715, 73753
Abstract:
A port fitting is formed with a closed, pedestal end forming a diaphragm on which a strain gauge sensor is mounted. A support member is received on the pedestal end and is formed with a flat end wall having an aperture aligned with the sensor. A portion of a flexible circuit assembly is bonded to the flat end wall with a connector disposed over the support member. A tubular outer housing is fitted over the several components and its bottom portion is welded to the port fitting while its top portion places a selected load on an O-ring received about the connector as well as internal components of the transducer. In one embodiment, a loading washer ( ) is disposed over the O-ring on a first portion ( ) of a two portion connector ( ) and retained by a second connector portion ( ). Protrusions ( ) formed on the tubular housing ( ) pass through cut-outs in the second connector portion to place a load on the loading washer. To facilitate assembly, the connector is attachable to the support member in one embodiment by legs of an EMC shield ( ), with the shield coupled to the connector by wedging tabs ( ) and in another embodiment by direct engagement of legs of the connector.

Abstract:
A compliant interface () for vehicular seat weight sensors minimizes parasitic stresses affecting sensor output. In one embodiment, an integral compliant interface () has an annular flange () attached to a post extending from the sensor body with a first compliant member () disposed between the annular flange and an upper elongated flange () of a mounting bracket () and a second compliant member () disposed between the annular plate and a lower elongated flange () to allow pivotal movement of the sensor limited by a motion stop member () of annular flange () engaging the lower flange. An overload cage () may be placed over the sensor and attached to an additional flange () to contain the sensor in the event of a failure of the mount in a catastrophic high speed crash. According to another preferred embodiment, an interface having upper and lower body members are formed with a sensor post receiving bore () for attachment to the post. The body members are formed with spaced apart, radially extending face surfaces, each formed with an annular recess aligned with each other and with a compliant member received therein and fixed to the respective body members and extending beyond the face surfaces.
