Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention generally relates to the field of temperature measuring instruments, and in particular to a self-calibrating digital temperature measuring instrument with a shock-absorbing function. Background Art

[0002] A self-calibrating digital thermometer is a temperature measurement device with a self-calibrating function. It typically utilizes a temperature sensor (such as a thermocouple or RTD) to sense temperature changes and convert the temperature signal into an electrical signal. Internal electronic circuitry typically processes and converts the electrical signal, ultimately displaying the temperature value in digital form. This self-calibration function is typically achieved through a built-in standard reference source or a specific calibration procedure. Under specific conditions, the thermometer can self-calibrate to ensure measurement accuracy.

[0003] A self-calibrating digital thermometer typically consists of a main body and a temperature probe inserted into the rear end of the thermometer. The main body is small, making it easy to carry and move. However, the thermometer's rigid structure makes it prone to falling in harsh environments.

[0004] Therefore, the inventor believes that the self-calibrating digital thermometer has the disadvantage of being easily damaged. Summary of the Invention

[0005] According to the present invention, in view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, a self-calibrating digital thermometer with a shock-absorbing function is provided, including a thermometer body, characterized in that a shock-absorbing shell is provided on the peripheral side of the thermometer body, which is sleeved on the peripheral side of the thermometer body and tightly fits with the thermometer body; it also includes two shock-absorbing end sleeves, which are detachably connected to the two ends of the shock-absorbing shell, for protecting the end structure of the thermometer body; a plurality of shock-absorbing components are also spaced apart on the outer peripheral side of the thermometer body, and the shock-absorbing components are evenly distributed around the shock-absorbing shell. By having the above-mentioned technical features, the shock-absorbing shell is located on the peripheral side of the thermometer body, protecting the peripheral side of the thermometer body. If it falls, it bears most of the impact on the peripheral side, and the shock-absorbing end sleeve is connected to the shock-absorbing shell on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is protruding on the end edge of the thermometer body, thereby actively bearing the risk of impact on the end of the thermometer body, thereby achieving comprehensive protection of the thermometer body as a whole.

[0006] In some embodiments, the shock-absorbing shell includes two symmetrically arranged shock-absorbing half shells, and the shock-absorbing assembly is disposed on the outer periphery of the shock-absorbing half shells. Thus, the two symmetrically arranged shock-absorbing half shells are not only easy to process, but also improve the assembly efficiency of the shock-absorbing shell and the thermometer body. Furthermore, the sleeve of the shock-absorbing end shell ensures a stable connection between the two shock-absorbing half shells.

[0007] In some embodiments, the outer periphery of the shock-absorbing half shell is provided with a plurality of slide grooves along the length direction of the thermometer body, and the opposite inner walls of the slide grooves are symmetrically provided with strip-shaped limiting grooves along the length direction of the slide grooves; the shock-absorbing assembly includes a buffer rib, which is elastic and arched as a whole, and its protrusion faces away from the slide groove; there are two limiting columns, which are respectively fixed at the two ends of the buffer rib, and the two ends of each limiting column are respectively clamped in the limiting groove. As a result, the buffer rib itself is arched and protrudes from the peripheral side of the thermometer body. When the thermometer body falls, the buffer rib is more likely to come into contact with the external environment first. It is also elastic. When it is impacted, it will reduce the damage caused by the impact through elastic deformation. The limiting columns at its two ends will slide in the limiting groove, thereby protecting its own structure while also reducing the impact on the thermometer body.

[0008] In some embodiments, the length of the buffer rib in its undeformed state is less than the length of the slide groove, thereby providing ample sliding space for the ends of the buffer rib, ensuring normal deformation space for the middle portion of the buffer rib after an impact, and reducing the possibility of damage to the buffer rib structure itself.

[0009] In some embodiments, a buffer block is provided at each end of the buffer rib, filling the space between the end of the buffer rib and the end of the chute. The buffer block thus fills the gap between the end of the buffer rib and the end of the chute, preventing noise caused by the loose swaying of the buffer rib within the chute when the thermometer is in use. Furthermore, the buffer block is inherently elastic and does not affect the normal elastic deformation of the buffer rib.

[0010] In some embodiments, a groove is formed along the length of the butted end surface of one of the damping half shells, and a ridge is provided on the butted end surface of the other damping half shell that matches the groove. Thus, the groove and ridge complement each other to fill the gap between the two damping half shells, providing more comprehensive protection for the periphery of the thermometer body. Furthermore, the frictional contact between the ridge and the groove after the butt joint further enhances the stability of the connection between the two damping half shells.

[0011] In some embodiments, a plurality of weight-reducing holes are provided on the surface of the shock-absorbing half shell, thereby reducing the overall weight of the shock-absorbing half shell and making the thermometer body lighter when in mobile use.

[0012] In some embodiments, the buffer rib includes a support layer, which is arched and interconnected with the limiting column; and a buffer layer, which is fixed to the outer arc arm of the support layer. Thus, the support layer plays an elastic deformation role. The buffer layer not only provides a certain degree of protection for the support layer, but also directly contacts the external environment, thereby reducing the impact.

[0013] In some embodiments, the two end faces of the damping half shells are provided with mating grooves along their end face contours; the inner wall of the damping end sleeve is provided with an annular retaining ring for insertion into the mating groove. Thus, the interlocking of the retaining ring and the mating groove improves the stability of the connection between the damping end sleeve and the two damping half shells.

[0014] It should be understood that the contents described in the Summary of the Invention section are not intended to limit the key or important features of the embodiments of the present disclosure, nor are they intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. Other features of the present disclosure will become readily understood through the following description. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments (or implementations) of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] The present invention provides a self-calibrating digital thermometer with a shock-absorbing function. The digital thermometer comprises a thermometer body 1 and a protective assembly disposed around the thermometer body 1. The protective assembly comprises a shock-absorbing shell 2 covering the thermometer body 1 and shock-absorbing end sleeves 3 connected to both ends of the shock-absorbing shell 2 and sleeved on the ends of the thermometer body 1. The combination of the shock-absorbing shell 2 and the shock-absorbing end sleeves 3 provides comprehensive protection for the thermometer body 1, making it less susceptible to damage even when subjected to external impacts.

[0026] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 7 The following describes a self-calibrating digital thermometer with a shock-absorbing function according to the present invention.

[0027] Figure 1 The figure shows the overall structure of a self-calibrating digital thermometer with a shock absorption function provided by an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 1 As shown, the self-calibrating thermometer with a shock-absorbing function provided in this embodiment includes a thermometer body 1, a shock-absorbing shell 2 arranged on the side of the thermometer body 1, and a shock-absorbing end sleeve 3 connected to the two ends of the shock-absorbing shell 2 and located at the edge of the end of the thermometer body 1. The protection of the thermometer body 1 is achieved through the mutual combination of the shock-absorbing shell 2 and the two shock-absorbing end sleeves 3.

[0028] Figure 2 The following is a schematic diagram of the explosion structure of a self-calibrating digital thermometer with a shock-absorbing function provided by an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 2 As shown, the shock-absorbing shell 2 includes two shock-absorbing half shells 21 of the same size, which are used to cover the left and right sides of the thermometer body 1 respectively. When the two shock-absorbing half shells 21 are assembled, the inner wall of the shock-absorbing half shell 21 fits tightly against the peripheral side of the thermometer body 1, thereby ensuring the integrity of the shock-absorbing shell 2 and the thermometer body 1. As the shock-absorbing end sleeve 3 and the two shock-absorbing half shells 21 are mutually installed, the two shock-absorbing half shells 21 are connected to each other, which not only protects the internal thermometer body 1, but also facilitates separation from the peripheral side of the thermometer body 1 when the thermometer body 1 is in static use. In addition, the shock-absorbing half shell 21 is provided with a support member made of a rigid supporting material inside, and the outside of the support member is covered with a flexible body made of an elastic material, so that the shock-absorbing shell 2 ensures its own annular support structure and plays a good shock-absorbing role for both the external environment and the internal thermometer body 1.

[0029] Figure 3 The cross-sectional view of a self-calibrating digital thermometer with a shock-absorbing function provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 3As shown, when the two shock-absorbing half shells 21 are assembled with each other, a strip-shaped groove 211 is provided on the mating end surface of the shock-absorbing half shell 21 on one side along the length direction of the mating end surface, and the shock-absorbing half shell 21 on the opposite side has a convex ridge 212 that matches the size of the groove 211 in the corresponding area of ​​the mating end surface and the groove 211. After the two shock-absorbing half shells 21 are relatively docked, the gap in the middle is filled by the plug-in fit between the convex ridge 212 and the groove 211, and the friction force caused by the contact between the convex ridge 212 and the groove 211 also improves the tightness of the connection between the two shock-absorbing half shells 21, thereby improving the protection effect on the side of the thermometer body 1.

[0030] Figure 4 Shown Figure 3 The enlarged diagram of detail A shows a plurality of slots 213 spaced apart on the outer surface of the shock-absorbing half-shell 21. Each slot 213 is arranged along the length of the shock-absorbing half-shell 21. The slots 213 are located above, below, and on the sidewalls of the thermometer body 1. The slots 213 have a rectangular cross-section, with symmetrical limit slots 214 formed along the length of the slots 213 on opposite sides. Lightening holes 215 are provided on the bottom wall of the slots 213 along the length of the slots 213, interconnecting with the interior of the shock-absorbing half-shell 21.

[0031] Figure 5 The structure diagram of the damping component in the self-calibrating digital thermometer with a damping function provided by the embodiment of the present utility model is shown. Figure 5 As shown, each chute 213 is provided with a shock-absorbing assembly comprising a buffer rib 41 and a retaining post 42 fixed at each end of the buffer rib 41. The buffer rib 41 is elastic and generally arched, with its center portion curved away from the chute 213. The retaining posts 42 are fixed to the circumference of the buffer rib 41, with their ends protruding beyond the edges of the buffer rib 41. The retaining posts 42 are located within retaining grooves 214 on either side of the chute 213, preventing the ends of the buffer rib 41 from disengaging from the chute 213. In its natural state, the buffer rib 41 is curved, with the distance between its ends less than the overall length of the chute 213. When external pressure is applied to the outer curved surface of the buffer rib 41, it bends toward the chute 213, driving the ends of the buffer rib 41 to slide within the retaining grooves 214, thereby mitigating the impact on the buffer half-shell.

[0032] To limit the free sliding of the buffer rib 41 within the chute 213, a buffer block 43 is provided at each end of the buffer rib 41. The buffer block 43 is located in the space between the end of the buffer rib 41 and the end of the chute 213. As a result, the two buffer blocks 43 restrict the buffer rib 41 to the middle area of ​​the chute 213, ensuring sufficient sliding space at both ends of the buffer rib 41. The buffer block 43 is a block made of sponge material and is located within the limiting groove 214. Its inherent elasticity not only facilitates installation within the space of the limiting groove 214, but also allows the buffer block 43 to elastically compress under the impact of the end of the buffer rib 41, exerting a reverse force on the end of the buffer rib 41, thereby reducing the impact caused by the deformation of the buffer rib 41.

[0033] Figure 6 FIG2 shows a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a buffer rib 41 in a self-calibrating digital thermometer with a shock absorbing function provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 As shown, the buffer rib 41 includes a support layer 411 and a buffer layer 412 fixed on one side of the support layer 411, wherein the support layer 411 is an arched structure of an elastic rigid plate, which can produce elastic bending under the action of external pressure; and the buffer layer 412 is located on the outer arc wall side of the support layer 411, which can be a flexible part made of rubber material. On the one hand, it protects the support layer 411, and on the other hand, it can also flexibly contact with the external environment to reduce the direct impact caused by the external environment.

[0034] Figure 7 The figure shows a cross-sectional view of the connection area between the shock absorbing shell 2 and the shock absorbing end sleeve 3 in a self-calibrating digital thermometer with a shock absorbing function provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 As shown, both ends of the shock-absorbing half shell 21 are concave, and a recessed matching groove 216 is provided on the outer contour of the end of the shock-absorbing half shell 21. The shock-absorbing end sleeve 3 is a ring-shaped part made of rubber material, and its end is provided with a plug-in groove that matches the concave end of the end of the shock-absorbing half shell 21. The inner wall of the plug-in groove is convexly provided with an annular limiting ring 217. After the shock-absorbing end sleeve 3 and the shock-absorbing half shell 21 are plugged into each other, the limiting ring 217 is located in the matching groove 216, thereby realizing a stable connection between the shock-absorbing end sleeve 3 and the end of the shock-absorbing shell 2.

[0035] Moreover, after the shock-absorbing shell 2 and the shock-absorbing end sleeve 3 are connected to each other, multiple buffer ribs 41 are distributed on the surrounding side of the thermometer body 1. During movement, the user can insert his fingers into the arc-shaped space of the buffer rib 41, so that the buffer rib 41 functions as a handle, thereby improving stability during movement.

[0036] In this specification, the terms "connect," "install," and "fix" should be understood broadly. For example, "connect" can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0037] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
