Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a mounting structure of a detection device, in particular to a sensor mounting structure and a heater. Background Art

[0002] The sensor used to measure the state of the material in the container can directly measure the material inside the container through the container, but this installation method requires the sensor to be sealed and assembled, especially when the material in the container is liquid, the sealing structure will be particularly important. In addition, you can also use sticky materials such as stickers to stick the sensor to the bottom of the outside of the container to be tested for measurement. This is generally used to measure the temperature of the material inside the container, but this installation method has poor stability and reliability of the sensor. When the sensor is used to measure temperature, you can also use a temperature sensor with a hardware casing to install it close to the place where the temperature needs to be detected and fix it with screws, but this method has poor temperature measurement effect.

[0003] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to ordinary technicians in the field.

[0007] A further technical solution is that when the fixing surface is subjected to a fixing force, at least a portion of the mounting surface is deformed so that the sensor is closely attached to the detection surface.

[0008] A heater is installed with the sensor installation structure as described in any one of the above items, and the heater also includes a container body; the container body includes the detection surface, and the sensor is close to the detection surface.

[0009] A further technical solution is that the sensor is a temperature sensor.

[0010] A further technical solution is that the detection surface is the bottom surface of the container body or a part of the bottom surface of the container body.

[0011] A further technical solution is that the thickness of the detection surface is not greater than 1 mm.

[0012] A further technical solution is that the heater also includes: a fixed position, which is arranged on the detection surface, and the sensor mounting structure is installed on the fixed position; a pressure plate, the first end of which extends toward the fixed position and presses the fixed surface; and a fastener, which fixes the second end of the pressure plate to the side of the fixed position.

[0013] A further technical solution is that the detection surface is a part of the bottom surface of the container body; and the fixing position is arranged around the detection surface.

[0014] A further technical solution is that the heater further comprises a fixing groove, the fixing groove is arranged at an extended end of the side wall of the container body, and the fastener passes through the pressure plate and is fixed in the fixing groove.

In addition, the deformable nature of the mounting seat can make the sensor close to the detection position under a certain pressure, and the detection data will be more accurate.

[0018] 2. Furthermore, in the embodiment of the utility model, the detection surface where the sensor is installed needs to be designed with a thin wall so that its thickness is less than 1 mm, which greatly increases the accuracy of sensor detection.

[0019] 3.

[0031] Example 1.

[0032] Embodiment 1 discloses a sensor mounting structure. Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the sensor installation structure in the embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 2 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram from another angle. Figure 3 for Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown, the sensor mounting structure of this embodiment includes a mounting base 1 and a sensor 2. The mounting base 1 is made of a tough material, preferably a silicone material. In the embodiment of the utility model, toughness means that the material will deform under a certain pressure, and the deformation will recover after the pressure disappears, and at the same time the material is relatively soft. The mounting base 1 includes a mounting surface 11, a fixing surface 12 and a pin hole 13. The mounting surface 11 is used to mount the sensor 2. The fixing surface 12 is used to bear the fixing force. The pin hole 13 passes through the mounting surface 11 and the fixing surface 12. The sensor 2 is close to the mounting surface 11 and is placed flat on the mounting surface 11, and is used to approach the detection surface to measure the detection surface. The pin 21 is connected to the sensor 2, passes through the pin hole 13 from one side of the mounting surface 11 and extends from one side of the fixing surface 12.

[0033] In this embodiment, the sensor 2 can be stably fixed by the mounting base 1. Since the mounting base 1 is made of a tough material, preferably a silicone material, the sensor 2 can be stably fixed without damaging the sensor 2 itself, which is made of a relatively fragile material.

[0034] Furthermore, when the fixing surface 12 is subjected to the fixing force, at least a portion of the mounting surface 11 is deformed so that the sensor 2 is closely attached to the detection surface without damaging the sensor 2 itself, so that the sensor 2 can more accurately measure the corresponding data of the detection surface.

[0035] Example 2.

[0036] Embodiment 2 discloses a heater, on which the sensor mounting structure in Embodiment 1 is fixed, for detecting corresponding data of the heater. For example, when sensor 2 is a temperature sensor, the temperature of the heater can be detected. Sensor 2 can also be other sensors, such as a pressure or liquid level sensor, which can be installed at a suitable position of the container according to its measurement data.

[0037] The heater in this embodiment is a liquid heater, such as an egg boiler, and may also be other heaters, such as various small kitchen appliances or small appliances for other purposes, such as an electric cooker or a kettle.

[0038] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of a heater equipped with a sensor mounting structure in an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 5 for Figure 4 Enlarged view of part A. Figure 6 for Figure 4 Cross-sectional view of . Figure 7 for Figure 6 This is an enlarged view of part B. Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the heater includes a container body 3. Figure 7 , the container body 3 is provided with a detection surface 31. The mounting base 1 brings the sensor 2 close to the detection surface 31 and measures the temperature at the detection surface 31. The detection surface 31 may be the bottom surface of the container body 3 or a part of the bottom surface of the container body 3. In this embodiment, the detection surface 31 is a part of the bottom surface of the outside of the container body 3. When the sensor 2 is another type of sensor, the detection surface 31 may also be provided at other positions of the container body 3.

[0039] Preferably, the thickness of the detection surface 31 is not greater than 1 mm, and the sensor 2 can better detect the heat received by the bottom and measure the temperature more accurately through the detection surface 31 with a wall thickness of not more than 1 mm. Furthermore, the thickness of the detection surface 31 is 0.5 mm to 0.8 mm, which can ensure the accuracy of temperature detection while ensuring a certain structural strength.

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, the heater further includes a fixing position 4, a pressing plate 5 and a fastener 6. The fixing position 4 is arranged on the detection surface 31. In this embodiment, the fixing position 4 is arranged around the detection surface 31. The sensor mounting structure is installed in the fixing position 4. The first end of the pressing plate 5 extends toward the fixing position 4 and presses the fixing surface 12 of the sensor mounting structure in the fixing position 4. The second end of the pressing plate 5 is fixed to the side of the fixing position 4 by the fastener 6.

[0041] In this embodiment, the fastener 6 is a screw, which fixes the pressure plate 5 and provides a fixing force toward the fixing surface 12 , pressing the mounting base 1 so that at least a portion of the mounting base 1 is deformed, and the sensor 2 is tightly attached to the detection surface 31 .

[0042] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the heater further includes a fixing groove 7, which is preferably arranged at an extension end of the side wall of the container body 3 toward the outside of the container body 3 to ensure fixing strength. The fastener 6 passes through the pressing plate 5 and is fixed in the fixing groove 7.

[0043] The heater also includes a circuit board bracket 8 installed on the side of the container body 3. The second end of the pressing plate 5 is connected to the circuit board bracket 8. The fastener 6 passes through the pressing plate 5 to fix the sensor fixing device and the circuit board bracket 8 to the container body 3. In order to control the heating temperature and working mode of the heater, the heater is generally installed with a circuit structure at the same time. Through the installation method of this embodiment, the fastener 6 can fix the sensor 2 and the circuit board bracket 8 at the same time, combining the installation process, with a simple structure but firm and reliable fixation. When the fastener 6 fixes the pressing plate 5, it also transmits force through the pressing plate 5, applying a pressure toward the mounting seat 1 to the sensor 2. The mounting seat 1 is made of a tough material, such as silicone. The sensor 2 is pressed down by force. Since the toughness of the mounting seat 1 is very good, the structure of the sensor 2 will not be crushed. At the same time, the sensor 2 detects the water temperature heated at the bottom of the container body 3 to reach the most ideal state.

[0044] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the utility model in which the heater is an egg cooker. Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the heater is an egg cooker, and the sensor mounting structure is installed at the C portion below the container body 3 of the egg cooker, combined with Figures 4 to 7 The pressure plate 5 transmits the force to the mounting seat 1, and at least a part of the mounting seat 1 is deformed, pressing the sensor 2 tightly against the detection surface 31 of the container body 3 to detect the temperature inside the container body 3, so as to monitor the temperature of the water in the egg boiler and accurately control the doneness of the eggs when boiling.

[0045] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0046] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
