Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of temperature sensors, and more specifically, to a modular combined temperature sensor. Background Technology

[0002] A temperature sensor is a sensor that can sense temperature and convert it into a usable output signal. Temperature sensors are the core component of temperature measuring instruments and come in many varieties. They can be broadly classified into two categories based on their measurement method: contact and non-contact. Based on the characteristics of the sensor materials and electronic components, they are divided into resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) and thermocouples. Combined temperature sensors are installed in refrigerator compartments. Because the interior walls of refrigerators are at low temperatures, the surface of the temperature sensor's sensing rod is easily exposed to the outside environment for extended periods, making it prone to the accumulation of impurities and frost. This often requires cleaning the temperature sensor manually, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inconvenient for users.

[0003] For example, the Chinese utility model patent (application number: 202021034737.2) discloses a "combined temperature sensor," which states that when using a temperature sensor inside a refrigerator, it is generally fixedly installed inside the refrigerator. This makes it difficult to adjust the position of the temperature sensor and to flexibly measure the temperature at different heights within the refrigerator. Furthermore, the surface of the temperature sensor inside the refrigerator often frosts up, requiring frequent cleaning. If the temperature sensor is fixedly installed inside the refrigerator, cleaning and replacement become very troublesome. Therefore, to solve these problems, we propose a combined temperature sensor. The aforementioned patent demonstrates the deficiencies of the existing technology.

[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements to this by proposing a modular combined temperature sensor. Summary of the Invention

[0027] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0028] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5A modular combined temperature sensor includes a signal processing module 1, a communication module 2 connected to the top of the signal processing module 1, a power module 3 embedded in the inner wall of the signal processing module 1, and a temperature sensing module 4 connected to the bottom of the signal processing module 1 via wires.

[0029] By setting up a signal processing module 1, the data collected by the temperature sensing module 4 is processed and sent to the display terminal. By setting up a communication module 2, it can be connected to an external communication device, so that the collected data can be sent to the communication device and the user can know it in time. By setting up a power supply module 3, power is provided to the signal processing module 1. By setting up a cleaning ring 60, a cleaning brush 61, a semi-circular ring 62, a flat plate 63, a first threaded rod 64, a docking plate 65, and a semi-circular tube 66, the semi-circular tube 66 is threadedly connected to the first threaded rod 64. When the semi-circular tube 66 moves downward, it causes the first threaded rod 64 to drive the temperature sensor detection rod 5 to rotate. The cleaning brush 61 cleans the impurities on the surface of the temperature sensor detection rod 5, so as to avoid the accumulation of impurities on the surface of the temperature sensor detection rod 5 and affect the detection data, thus improving the temperature detection accuracy.

[0030] A fixing block 67 is connected to the surface of the cleaning ring 60, a guide rod 68 is connected to the surface of the fixing block 67, a slider 69 is sleeved on the surface of the guide rod 68, a first inclined plate 610 is connected to one side of the slider 69 via a pivot, the top of the first inclined plate 610 is connected to the docking plate 65 via a pivot, a horizontal hole 611 is opened on the surface of the plate 63, the first inclined plate 610 passes through the horizontal hole 611 and is movably connected to the horizontal hole 611, a first spring telescopic rod 612 is connected to both the front and rear sides of the plate 63, and a first connecting block 613 is connected to the opposite side of the first spring telescopic rod 612.

[0031] By setting the first spring telescopic rod 612, a pulling force is generated on the plate 63, so that the two plates 63 are tightly attached together. By setting the transverse hole 611, the first inclined plate 610 is guided to facilitate the displacement of the first inclined plate 610. By setting the guide rod 68, the slider 69 is guided to facilitate the vertical movement of the slider 69.

[0032] The front and rear sides of the docking plate 65 are connected to the second spring telescopic rods 614. The opposite side of the second spring telescopic rods 614 is connected to the second connecting block 615. The first connecting block 613 and the second connecting block 615 are connected to the electric push rod 616. The top of the plate 63 is connected to the telescopic tube 617, and the top of the telescopic tube 617 is connected to the docking plate 65.

[0033] By setting a second spring telescopic rod 614, a pulling force is generated on the docking plate 65, so that the two docking plates 65 are tightly attached together. By setting an electric push rod 616, the docking plate 65 can be driven to move vertically. The docking plate 65 drives the first inclined plate 610, the slider 69 and the guide rod 68 to move, so that the two cleaning rings 60 are separated, exposing the temperature sensor detection rod 5, which is convenient for collecting temperature data. During the carrying of the temperature sensor, the two cleaning rings 60 are brought into contact and closed, which can protect the temperature sensor detection rod 5 and prevent the temperature sensor detection rod 5 from accidentally colliding with external objects.

[0034] The top of the semicircular ring 62 is connected to a one-way air outlet valve 618. The top of the one-way air outlet valve 618 passes through the flat plate 63 and the telescopic tube 617 and extends into the inner cavity of the telescopic tube 617. The bottom of the inner wall of the telescopic tube 617 is connected to a heating ring 619. The top of the telescopic tube 617 is connected to a one-way air inlet valve 620. The top of the one-way air inlet valve 620 passes through to the top of the docking plate 65. The inner wall of the telescopic tube 617 is connected to a support frame plate 621. The inner wall of the cleaning ring 60 has an air outlet 622. The bottom of the semicircular tube 66 is connected to the top of the cleaning ring 60 through a hose.

[0035] By setting a one-way inlet valve 620, external gas can easily enter the inner cavity of the telescopic tube 617. By setting a one-way outlet valve 618, gas inside the telescopic tube 617 can be easily discharged. By setting a support frame plate 621, the telescopic tube 617 is supported, so that the telescopic tube 617 remains in an expanded state when stretched. By setting an outlet hole 622, gas inside the cleaning ring 60 can be easily discharged. By setting a docking plate 65, telescopic tube 617, heating ring 619, one-way outlet valve 618, semi-circular ring 62, cleaning ring 60 and outlet hole 622, hot gas inside the telescopic tube 617 can be discharged through the outlet hole 622 and blown onto the surface of the temperature sensor detection rod 5 for defrosting operation, which facilitates efficient cleaning of the temperature sensor detection rod 5.

[0036] The top of the plate 63 is connected to an L-shaped clamping plate 623, and the top of the plate 63 contacts a hanging plate 624. The surface of the hanging plate 624 has a clamping hole 625. The rear side of the hanging plate 624 is connected to a mounting plate 626, and the surface of the mounting plate 626 has mounting holes. The top of the plate 63 is connected to a vertical rod 627, and the top of the vertical rod 627 passes through the docking plate 65 and is movably connected to the docking plate 65.

[0037] By setting up a flat plate 63, a first spring telescopic rod 612, an L-shaped clamping plate 623, a clamping hole 625, and a hanging plate 624, the L-shaped clamping plate 623 is engaged with the clamping hole 625, thereby positioning and installing the temperature sensing module 4, and at the same time facilitating the disassembly of the temperature sensing module 4.

[0038] Example 2 further optimizes the modular combined temperature sensor provided in Example 1, specifically, as follows: Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the top of the first threaded rod 64 is connected to a plug-in mechanism 7. The plug-in mechanism 7 includes a second threaded rod 70. The bottom of the second threaded rod 70 is movably connected to the first threaded rod 64. A tapered block 71 is threaded on the surface of the second threaded rod 70. The top of the tapered block 71 is connected to a movable tube 72. Both sides of the movable tube 72 are connected to a second inclined plate 73 through a rotating shaft. The top of the second inclined plate 73 is connected to a socket 74 through a rotating shaft. A plug 75 is inserted into the inner cavity of the socket 74. The top of the plug 75 is connected to the signal processing module 1 through a wire.

[0039] By setting the second threaded rod 70, the conical block 71, the movable tube 72, the second inclined plate 73, the socket 74 and the plug 75, the two sockets 74 can be brought close to each other and plugged into the plug 75. The plugging is secure and will not fall off, while also facilitating the separation and disassembly of the socket 74 and the plug 75.

[0040] Both sides of the socket 74 are connected to a crossbar 76. A spring 716 and a balance block 77 are respectively fitted on the surface of the crossbar 76. The bottom of the balance block 77 is connected to the vertical bar 627. A limiting circular plate is connected to the side of the crossbar 76 away from the socket 74. One side of the spring 716 is connected to the socket 74, and the other side of the spring 716 is connected to the balance block 77. A locking block 78 is connected to the inner wall of the socket 74. Both sides of the plug 75 are connected to a slot 79. One side of the locking block 78 extends into the inner cavity of the slot 79.

[0041] By setting a balance block 77 and a crossbar 76, the socket 74 is guided, which facilitates the lateral movement of the socket 74. By setting a limiting circular plate, the movement distance of the crossbar 76 is limited. By setting a locking block 78 and a locking slot 79, the plug 75 is locked in the inner cavity of the socket 74, which improves the stability of the plug 75 and prevents it from falling off.

[0042] Example 3 further optimizes the modular combined temperature sensor provided in Example 1 or 2, specifically, as follows: Figure 6 and Figure 7 The bottom of the inner wall of the socket 74 is connected to a plug plate, the bottom of the plug 75 is provided with a slot, the top of the plug plate is inserted into the inner cavity of the slot, the front and rear sides of the movable tube 72 are connected to push plates 710, and the front and rear sides of the plug 75 are connected to protrusion plates 711.

[0043] By setting a push plate 710 and a convex plate 711, when the push plate 710 moves upward, it pushes the convex plate 711 to move upward, thereby driving the plug 75 to move upward, so that the slot at the bottom of the plug 75 can be separated from the plug plate and disassembled, making it easier to separate and disassemble the plug 75 from the socket 74.

[0044] A spring telescopic plate 712 is connected to the surface of the push plate 710 via a support block. A sleeve plate 713 is connected to the top of the spring telescopic plate 712. A pressure plate 714 is connected through the surface of the sleeve plate 713.

[0045] By setting the spring telescopic plate 712, the sleeve plate 713 and the pressure plate 714, the pressure plate 714 is pressed against the top of the plug 75 to reinforce the plug 75 and improve the stability of the plug 75.

[0046] One side of the pressure plate 714 passes through the sleeve plate 713 and is connected to the limiting square plate 715. The front and rear pressure plates 714 are in contact, and a magnet 717 is connected to the opposite side of the pressure plate 714. The magnets 717 on the front and rear sides attract each other.

[0047] The limiting plate 715 limits the pressure plate 714 to prevent it from separating from the sleeve plate 713. The magnet 717 makes the two pressure plates 714 fit together tightly, which facilitates the clamping and positioning of the plug 75. After the plug 75 is separated from the socket 74, the pressure plate 714 seals and protects the top of the socket 74 to prevent external dust from entering the socket 74 and causing corrosion, thus extending the service life of the socket 74.

[0048] The modular combined temperature sensor provided by this invention is used as follows: S1. Detection: By controlling the electric push rod 616 to extend and drive the docking plate 65 to move upward, the docking plate 65 drives the slider 69 to move through the first inclined plate 610, and the slider 69 drives the cleaning ring 60 to rotate through the guide rod 68 and the fixing block 67, so that the two cleaning rings 60 are separated, and the temperature sensor detection rod 5 is exposed. The temperature of the inner cavity of the refrigerator is detected by the temperature sensor detection rod 5. S2. Cleaning: By controlling the operation and retraction of the electric push rod 616, the docking plate 65 and the semi-circular tube 66 are driven to move downward. The semi-circular tube 66 is threadedly connected to the first threaded rod 64, so that the first threaded rod 64 drives the temperature sensor detection rod 5 to rotate. The cleaning brush 61 is always in contact with the temperature sensor detection rod 5 for cleaning. S3, Defrosting: By controlling the operation of the heating ring 619, the gas inside the telescopic tube 617 is heated. During the downward movement of the docking plate 65, the telescopic tube 617 is compressed simultaneously, and the pressure inside the telescopic tube 617 increases, causing the one-way exhaust valve 618 to open. The hot air inside the telescopic tube 617 passes through the one-way exhaust valve 618, the semi-circular ring 62, the hose and the cleaning ring 60 in sequence, and finally is discharged through the exhaust hole 622 and blown onto the surface of the temperature sensor detection rod 5 to perform a defrosting operation on its surface. When the docking plate 65 returns to its original position, the telescopic tube 617 is lengthened, causing the one-way intake valve 620 to open, and external gas enters the inner cavity of the telescopic tube 617 to replenish it, and the cycle repeats. S4, Insertion / Removal: Separate the two pressure plates 714, move the pressure plates 714 to one side of the convex plate 711, rotate the conical block 71 and thread it into the second threaded rod 70, causing the conical block 71 to drive the movable tube 72 to move upward, the movable tube 72 to push the second inclined plate 73 to move, the second inclined plate 73 to drive the socket 74 to move laterally, separating the two sockets 74, the sockets 74 to drive the locking block 78 to move, separating the locking block 78 from the locking slot 79, the movable tube 72 to simultaneously drive the push plate 710 to move, the push plate 710 to push the convex plate 711 to move upward, the convex plate 711 to drive the plug 75 to move upward, the slot to separate from the insertion plate, and thus the plug 75 to separate from the socket 74; S5. Disassembly: The docking plate 65 is moved upward by the operation. The docking plate 65 moves upward and contacts and squeezes the conical block 71, causing the two docking plates 65 to separate. The docking plate 65 drives the vertical rod 627 to move. The two vertical rods 627 drive the two flat plates 63 to separate. The flat plates 63 drive the L-shaped clamping plate 623 to move, causing the two L-shaped clamping plates 623 to separate from the clamping hole 625, thereby disassembling the temperature sensing module 4. After the plug 75 is separated from the socket 74, the two magnets 717 are attracted together, the two pressure plates 714 come into contact, and the spring telescopic plate 712 pulls the pressure plate 714 downward, so that the pressure plate 714 presses against the top of the socket 74, sealing the top of the socket 74 to prevent dust, which facilitates the carrying of the temperature sensing module 4.
