[0024] The serial numbers of the components in this document, such as "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish the objects described and do not have any order or technical meaning. The "connection" and "coupling" mentioned in this application, unless otherwise specified, include direct and indirect connections (couplings).
[0025] This application provides a temperature probe assembly, please refer to Figure 1-6 In some embodiments, the temperature probe assembly includes a temperature probe 1 and a temperature probe receiving base 2. The temperature probe 1 can be received in a probe receiving cavity 211 of the temperature probe receiving base 2 and can be taken out of the probe receiving cavity 211. The temperature probe 1 can be inserted into the food during or after cooking to detect the temperature inside the food.
[0026] Specifically, the temperature probe 1 can be inserted into the food during the cooking process to detect the temperature inside the food, especially to obtain the lowest temperature inside the food as accurately as possible. The food can be in any cooking space, including but not limited to: steaming, boiling, baking, roasting, frying, deep-frying, etc. or heat-treated by any other means.
[0027] In order to form a temperature probe storage base 2 (referred to as the base) that is easier to hold and more portable, please refer to Figure 1-6 In some embodiments, the base 2 includes a base body 201 and a display module 202. The display module 202 has a screen 2021. The display module 202 can be a pure display screen module or a touch display screen module capable of touch operation. Correspondingly, the screen 2021 can be a pure display screen or a touch display screen. The display module 202 is mounted on the base body 201, and the screen 2021 is located on one side of the base body 201.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 1-6 In some embodiments, the seat 201 has at least one probe accommodating cavity 2011 for accommodating the temperature probe 1. The probe accommodating cavity 2011 has a cavity shape that matches the shape of the corresponding temperature probe 1 to accommodate the temperature probe 1. Since the temperature probe 1 is usually a long strip structure, the corresponding probe accommodating cavity 2011 corresponds to a cavity structure extending in the longitudinal direction. Figure 1-6 In the illustrated embodiment, the temperature probe 1 can be completely received in the probe receiving cavity 2011. In other embodiments, the temperature probe 1 can also be received in the probe receiving cavity 2011 in a semi-embedded manner or in other manners.
[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2In some embodiments, in the direction perpendicular to the screen 2021 (referred to as the first direction a), the probe accommodating cavity 2011 is arranged on the side opposite to the display surface of the screen 2021 (i.e., the back of the display module 202). In this embodiment, the space on the back of the display module 202 is used to set the probe accommodating cavity 2011, thereby reducing the size of the base 2 in the direction parallel to the screen 2021 (referred to as the second direction b), forming a structure that is easier to hold, and improving the portability of the base 2. In contrast, if the probe accommodating cavity 2011 and the screen 2021 are arranged along the second direction b, since the width of the screen 2021 is greater than its thickness, this arrangement will increase the size of the base 201 in the second direction b, making it inconvenient to carry and hold.
[0030] Or, in other embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and 2 , the screen 2021 may not be used as a reference, and the probe accommodating cavity 2011 and the screen 2021 may be arranged along the thickness direction of the base 201. The base 201 generally has three dimensions: length, width, and thickness, and the thickness direction is the direction in which the base 201 has the smallest dimension. Figure 1 and 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the thickness direction of the base 201 is the first direction a shown in the figure, the width direction is the second direction b shown in the figure, and the length direction is the third direction c shown in the figure. Of course, in other embodiments, the thickness direction and the width direction of the base 201 may also be other directions. In this embodiment, the space in the thickness direction may be used to set the probe accommodating cavity 2011, thereby reducing the size of the base 2 in the direction parallel to the screen 2021, forming a structure that is easier to hold, and at the same time improving the portability of the base 2.
[0031] For further information, please refer to Figure 1-6 In some embodiments, the probe accommodating cavity 2011 has a side groove 2012, and the side groove 2012 can be used for the user to observe the internal situation of the probe accommodating cavity 2011, for example, to observe whether there is a temperature probe 1, the placement status of the temperature probe 1 in the probe accommodating cavity 2011, the charging status of the temperature probe 1 (such as the seat 201 has a charging function) or other situations.
[0032] To prevent the temperature probe 1 from slipping out of the side slot 2012 , in some embodiments, the length and / or width of the side slot 2012 may be designed to be smaller than the temperature probe 1 , so that the temperature probe 1 cannot fall out of the side slot 2012 .
[0033] Please refer to Figure 1-6In some embodiments, the base 201 has a first surface and a second surface facing away from each other, the screen 2021 is disposed on the first surface, and the side slot 2012 is disposed on the second surface. In this structure, the screen 2021 and the side slot 2012 are disposed facing away from each other, making full use of the space on the two surfaces facing away from each other on the base 201, thereby increasing the compactness of the base 201 structure and improving the portability and grip of the base 2.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 1-6 In some embodiments, the side groove 2012 is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the probe accommodating cavity 2011, which can expand the user's observation field of view, so that the user can better observe the temperature probe 1 in the probe accommodating cavity 2011 from the side groove 2012.
[0035] Please refer to Figure 1-6 In some embodiments, one end of the probe accommodating cavity 2011 has a probe insertion port 2013, and the probe insertion port 2013 is arranged at one end of the probe accommodating cavity 2011 in the longitudinal direction, and the temperature probe 1 can be inserted into the probe accommodating cavity 2011 through the probe insertion port 2013. One end of the side slot 2012 is directly connected to the probe insertion port 2013, which can not only expand the user's observation field of view, but also increase the opening size of the probe insertion port 2013, so as to more conveniently insert the temperature probe 1 into the probe accommodating cavity 2011.
[0036] In addition, in some other embodiments, the probe insertion port 2013 of the probe accommodating cavity 2011 may also be arranged along the longitudinal direction of the probe accommodating cavity 2011, so that the temperature probe 1 can be inserted into the probe accommodating cavity 2011 from the side of the probe accommodating cavity 2011. Figure 1-6 In the illustrated embodiment, the side slot 2012 may also be designed to have a size and shape that allows the temperature probe 1 to be inserted into the probe accommodating cavity 2011. In this embodiment, the original probe insertion port 2013 located at one longitudinal end of the probe accommodating cavity 2011 may be omitted.
[0037] In other embodiments, the probe accommodating cavity 2011 is a hole-shaped structure, one end of the hole-shaped structure is provided with a probe insertion port 2013, and the periphery of the hole-shaped structure is closed. In this case, the probe accommodating cavity 2011 of the hole-shaped structure can surround the temperature probe 1 in the circumferential direction of the temperature probe 1, and can prevent other objects from entering the probe accommodating cavity 2011, which can not only protect the temperature probe 1, but also protect the structure of the probe accommodating cavity 2011 from being damaged.
[0038] Furthermore, the number of the probe accommodating chamber 2011 can be one or more. Figure 1 and 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the number of the probe accommodating cavity 2011 is one, into which one temperature probe 1 can be inserted. Figure 3-6In the illustrated embodiment, there are at least two probe accommodating cavities 2011, which are arranged side by side in a direction parallel to the screen 2021. The arrangement direction of the probe accommodating cavities 2011 is substantially parallel to the screen 2021, so that the back space of the screen 2021 can be more fully utilized.
[0039] Specifically, in Figure 3 and 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the number of the probe accommodating cavities 2011 is two, which can be used to insert two temperature probes 1. Figure 5 and 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the number of the probe accommodating cavities 2011 is four, and four temperature probes 1 can be correspondingly inserted into the cavities.
[0040] Furthermore, the base 2 may be a simple storage device, that is, it is mainly used to store the temperature probe 1, and it may not have the function of charging the temperature probe 1. Of course, in other embodiments, the base 2 may also include a charging module (not shown in the figure), which is installed on the base 201 to charge the temperature probe 1 inserted into the probe accommodating cavity 2011. The charging module can be either a wireless charging method or a wired charging method. For example, the charging module may have a charging contact arranged on the inner wall of the probe accommodating cavity 2011. When the temperature probe 1 is inserted into the probe accommodating cavity 2011, the charging contact can be conductively connected to the temperature probe 1 to achieve charging.
[0041] Specifically, please refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the probe accommodating cavity 2011 is provided with a first charging contact 2031 and at least one second charging contact 2032. When the first charging contact 2031 and any second charging contact 2032 are connected, the base 201 is used to charge the temperature probe 1 inserted into the probe accommodating cavity 2011. It can be understood that the second charging contact 2032 can be distributed at different positions along the longitudinal direction of the probe accommodating cavity 2011. When the temperature probe 1 contacts the first charging contact 2031 and any second charging contact 2032, charging can be performed, thereby avoiding the situation that the temperature probe 1 is not fully inserted to the bottom and cannot be charged.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the number of the second charging contacts 2032 is two, one is located at the bottom of the probe accommodating cavity 2011, and the other is located at a distance from the bottom of the probe accommodating cavity 2011 to 1 / 3 of the longitudinal length of the probe accommodating cavity 2011. At this time, charging can also be performed when the temperature probe 1 is inserted into the longitudinal length of the probe accommodating cavity 2011 to 1 / 3 of the bottom of the probe accommodating cavity 2011.
[0043] Of course, the base 2 may also be provided with other components as required, such as a control unit (not shown in the figure), which may control the display module 202 and may also be used to control the charging of the temperature probe 1. In some embodiments, the base 2 may also have a communication unit (not shown in the figure), which may realize wired or wireless communication with the temperature probe 1 or the corresponding cooking device.
[0044] The above specific examples are used to illustrate the present invention, which is only used to help understand the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, according to the concept of the present invention, some simple deductions, modifications or substitutions can be made.
