Abstract
A sensor housing cover and a method for manufacturing such a sensor housing cover are described. The sensor housing cover is made up of a base cover having at least one opening. The base cover is extrusion-coated with a first plastic in such a way that the first plastic constitutes at least one element of the sensor housing cover and is positively connected to the base cover via the at least one opening. In the manufacturing process, the base cover is provided and then enclosed by a mold. The first plastic is injected into the mold to manufacture the at least one element of the sensor housing cover.
Claims15
A sensor housing cover, comprising:
- a base cover having at least one opening, wherein:
- the base cover is extrusion-coated with a first plastic so that the first plastic constitutes at least one element of the sensor housing cover and is connected to the base cover via the at least one opening;
- the first plastic forms sidewalls of a bore that extends through the first plastic;
- the at least one opening includes a first opening for a pressure inlet channel and two additional openings for the connection between the at least one element of the sensor housing cover and the base cover;
- and
- the first opening is larger than the two additional openings.
A method for manufacturing a sensor housing cover, the method comprising:
- providing a base cover having at least one opening;
- enclosing the base cover using a mold;
- and
- injecting a plastic into the mold for manufacturing at least one element of the sensor housing cover, the injected plastic having a connection with the base cover via the at least one opening;
- wherein:
- the injected plastic forms sidewalls of a bore that extends through the injected plastic;
- the at least one opening includes a first opening for a pressure inlet channel and two additional openings for the connection between the at least one element of the sensor housing cover and the base cover;
- and
- the first opening is larger than the two additional openings.
A sensor housing cover, comprising:
- a base cover that is extrusion-coated with a first plastic so that the first plastic constitutes at least one element of the sensor housing cover and is connected to the base cover via two openings in the base cover that (a) each extends from a first side of the base cover through a second side of the base cover that is opposite the first side and (b) are completely filled by the first plastic;
- wherein the base cover includes a further opening for a pressure inlet channel, which further opening is larger than each of the two openings.
