Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fruit and vegetable cold chain temperature monitoring, and in particular to a spherical fruit and vegetable cold chain temperature monitoring device and a monitoring method. Background Art

[0002] The temperature of fruits and vegetables themselves is crucial during the cold chain process. Chilling damage, quality loss, and quality changes during the cold chain are all based on temperature data changes. Ambient temperature can be obtained through temperature sensors, but ambient temperature does not represent the temperature of the fruits and vegetables themselves. This is a point that is often overlooked in actual cold chain decision-making. Because heat transfer and changes in the external environment can cause the temperature of fruits and vegetables themselves, especially the temperature of the fruit core, to be inconsistent with the ambient temperature, guiding cold chain equipment control decisions based on ambient temperature will affect the quality of fruits and vegetables. Existing temperature monitoring devices need to detect the temperature of fruits and vegetables in real time, and sensor probes need to penetrate the interior of fruits and vegetables. This method causes damage to fruits and vegetables and wastes resources.

[0003] In response to the above problems, it is urgent to carry out innovative design based on the original temperature monitoring device structure. Summary of the Invention

[0025] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] In a specific embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the basic use process of the temperature monitoring device of the present invention is disclosed.

[0027] A first outer shell 1 and a second outer shell 2 docked with the outside of the first outer shell 1; an inner shell 3 is provided inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2, and an inner shell cover 6 is provided on the outside of the inner shell 3, and a control button 18 is provided on the side of the inner shell cover 6 away from the inner shell 3, a processor 7 and a controller 8 are provided on the end of the inner shell cover 6 close to the inner shell 3, and a battery assembly 4 is provided inside the inner shell 3; a wireless connector 5 and a temperature sensing connector 9 are provided inside the inner shell 3, and the end of the temperature sensing connector 9 and the wireless connector 5 away from the inner shell 3 is located on the outside of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2.

[0028] When using this type of spherical fruit and vegetable cold chain temperature monitoring device, it is necessary to place the temperature monitoring device inside the fruits and vegetables transported in the cold chain, and make the temperature monitoring device in a working state. During the operation of the device, the temperature inside the fruits and vegetables will be detected through the temperature sensing connector 9, and after the temperature sensing connector 9 detects the signal, it will transmit the signal through the wireless connector 5, so that the signal transmitted by the wireless connector 5 is received by the external device, so that people can observe the temperature inside the fruits and vegetables transported in the cold chain at any time, ensuring the convenience of using the temperature monitoring device.

[0029] In one specific embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the process of stably detecting temperature by the device is disclosed.

[0030] The interior of the inner shell 3 is provided with a contraction structure for protecting the temperature sensing joint 9, and the contraction structure includes a mounting seat 12, and the mounting seat 12 is engaged with the outside of the processor 7, and the mounting seat 12 is slidably installed inside the inner shell 3, and the mounting seat 12 is rotatably installed with a rotating rod 15 at one end close to the inner shell 3, and the rotating rod 15 is rotatably installed with a sliding member 14 at one end away from the mounting seat 12. The contraction structure also includes a fixed rod 13, and the fixed rod 13 is fixedly installed inside the inner shell 3, and the fixed rod 13 is located inside the two groups of sliding members 14, and at the same time, two groups of buffer springs 16 are sleeved on the outside of the fixed rod 13.

[0031] When using this type of spherical fruit and vegetable cold chain temperature monitoring device, it is necessary to place the device inside the fruits and vegetables, and detect the temperature inside the fruits and vegetables through the temperature-sensing joint 9, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the temperature of the cold chain and avoid the situation where the temperature is too high or too low and causes damage to the fruits and vegetables. In this process, the temperature-sensing joint 9 may be squeezed. At this time, the temperature-sensing joint 9 will move toward the inside of the inner shell 3 and drive the inner shell 3 to move, reducing the probability of the temperature-sensing joint 9 being directly squeezed and damaged, and the movement of the mounting seat 12 will push the sliding member 14 to move on the outside of the fixed rod 13 through the rotating rod 15, and the movement of the sliding member 14 will squeeze the buffer spring 16 and cause the buffer spring 16 to contract, so that the force of squeezing the temperature-sensing joint 9 can be reduced, and the setting of the buffer spring 16 can make the temperature-sensing joint 9 as far as possible on the outside of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the temperature detection of the device.

[0032] Based on the above embodiments, Figures 1-6 As shown, the process of convenient maintenance of the temperature monitoring device is disclosed.

[0033] The outer sides of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 are provided with a disassembly and assembly structure for controlling the rapid docking of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2. The disassembly and assembly structure includes a first arc block 10 and a second arc block 11, and the first arc block 10 and the second arc block 11 are respectively installed on the outer sides of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2, and the first arc block 10 is tightly fitted with the second arc block 11. A positioning block 19 is fixedly installed on the side of the second arc block 11 close to the first arc block 10, and the positioning block 19 is located inside the first arc block 10. A motion groove 17 is opened inside the first arc block 10, and a clamping block 20 is slidably installed inside the motion groove 17, and the clamping block 20 is clamped and connected with the positioning block 19. A return spring 21 is fixedly installed on the end of the clamping block 20 away from the positioning block 19, and a pulling member 22 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the clamping block 20, and the pulling member 22 is slidably connected to the first outer shell 1.

[0034] When using this type of spherical fruit and vegetable cold chain temperature monitoring device, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the internal structure of the temperature monitoring device to avoid faults affecting temperature detection. During the maintenance of the device, the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 need to be separated to detect the structures inside the two groups of inner shells 3. During this process, it is necessary to push the pulling member 22 to move, and the movement of the pulling member 22 will drive the clamping block 20 to move and cause the clamping block 20 to squeeze the reset spring 21. At this time, the reset spring 21 contracts, and during the movement of the clamping block 20, it will move away from the positioning block 19. After the positioning block 19 is separated from the clamping block 20, the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 can be separated. At this time, the structures inside and outside the inner shell 3 can be detected, and after the detection is completed, the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 are directly docked, and the docking between the positioning block 19 and the clamping block 20 can be completed, thereby ensuring the convenience of maintenance of the device, and then ensuring the convenience of use of the device, increasing the overall practicality.

[0035] The present invention also provides a method for using the spherical fruit and vegetable cold chain temperature monitoring device, namely, a method for monitoring the spherical fruit and vegetable cold chain temperature, comprising the following steps: S1. Place the temperature monitoring device inside the fruit and vegetable pile; S2. The temperature sensing connector 9 of the temperature monitoring device monitors the temperature of the fruits and vegetables regularly or in real time, and transmits the temperature data.

[0037] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
