[0002] In the process operation of textile dyeing and finishing, it is necessary to first prepare the dye liquor of the required color and then heat the dye liquor to the required temperature to ensure the dyeing effect during subsequent dyeing operations. Therefore, generally, different colors of dye liquor are respectively filled in multiple cups for heating, and each cup is connected to a rotating shaft to achieve the effects of heating and rotating stirring. And since different colors of dye liquor require different temperatures, in order to monitor the temperature of the dye liquor inside each cup in real time, a temperature sensor is provided on the cup lid of each cup to monitor the temperature of the dye liquor inside each cup.

[0003] However, most of the wires of the existing temperature sensors are directly led out from the inside of the cup lid to the outside, so it is inconvenient to disassemble and assemble the cup lid and it cannot be quickly disassembled or assembled. And since each cup rotates around the rotating shaft as the axis, the wires exposed outside the cup lid are likely to be entangled and broken. Therefore, how to design a temperature measuring cup that can quickly disassemble or install the cup lid and the wires of the temperature sensor are not exposed to cause entanglement is an urgent problem to be improved.

[0061] The detailed description and technical content of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings. However, the attached drawings are only for illustrative purposes and are not used to limit the present application.

[0062] The present application provides a temperature-measuring cup device 1, which can be used to measure the temperature of the dye solution contained therein. Please first refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the temperature-measuring cup device 1 of the present application is applied, a plurality of temperature-measuring cup devices 1 can be connected to the driving rotating shaft A, so as to heat the dye solution in each temperature-measuring cup device 1 through the rotation and heating of the driving rotating shaft A, and individually detect the temperature of the dye solution inside each temperature-measuring cup device 1 to ensure the subsequent dyeing effect of each dye solution. Please then refer to Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the temperature-measuring cup device 1 of the present application mainly includes a mounting bracket 10, a cup body 20, an electrical connection component 30, a cup lid 40, a temperature sensor 50, and a pair of abutting conductors 60.

[0063] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 10 is made of sheet metal, but the present application is not limited thereto. The mounting bracket 10 has a flat surface 11, an inner side surface 12, a through hole 13, and a through slot 14. The flat surface 11 and the inner side surface 12 are respectively located on opposite sides of the mounting bracket 10. The through hole 13 and the through slot 14 both penetrate through the flat surface 11 and the inner side surface 12. The through hole 13 in this embodiment corresponds to the outer edge of the cup body 20 and is in the shape of a circular hole, and the through slot 14 is a rectangular hole, but the shapes of the through hole 13 and the through slot 14 can be adjusted correspondingly according to different requirements.

[0064] The cup body 20 has a first connecting portion 21 and a cavity 22. Specifically, the cup body 20 is a hollow cylindrical structure. The first connecting portion 21 is located at the front end rim of the cup body 20, and the rear end of the cup body 20 is a closed end. The cavity 22 is formed inside the cup body 20 and communicates with the external space through an opening at the first connecting portion 21. The cavity 22 is used to hold the prepared dye liquor for heating and dyeing operations. The cup body 20 passes through the through hole 13 so that the first connecting portion 21 is exposed outside the flat surface 11. Specifically, the first connecting portion 21 of the cup body 20 passes through the through hole 13 and the flat surface 11 from the inner side surface 12 of the mounting bracket 10.

[0065] The electrical connection component 30 mainly includes a base 31 and a pair of spring probes 32. The base 31 is installed in the through slot 14. Each spring probe 32 is movably inserted into the base 31 and protrudes from the base 31, and the front end of each spring probe 32 can collapse towards the inside of the base 31 when pushed by an external force. Its specific structure will be described later, so it will not be elaborated here. In this embodiment, the front end of each spring probe 32 protrudes from the flat surface 11 of the mounting bracket 10, but the present application is not limited thereto, as long as the front end of each spring probe 32 protrudes from the base 31.

[0066] In this embodiment, the cup lid 40 is generally in the shape of a hollow circular disc, but the present application is not limited thereto. The cup lid 40 has a second connecting portion 41 and a protruding seat 42. The second connecting portion 41 is in the shape of a circular ring and is detachably connected to the first connecting portion 21, thereby sealing the cavity 22 of the cup body 20. Specifically, the second connecting portion 41 is connected to the first connecting portion 21 by screwing, fitting, or snapping. In this embodiment, the second connecting portion 41 is connected to the first connecting portion 21 by screwing, but the present application is not limited thereto. The protruding seat 42 is provided on the side of the second connecting portion 41. The protruding seat 42 is generally in the shape of a rectangular body, but the present application does not impose many restrictions on this.

[0067] The temperature sensor 50 is installed inside the cup lid 40 and is located inside the circular first connecting portion 21. The temperature sensor 50 is in the shape of a long bar and can be used to sense the temperature of the dye liquor in the cavity 22. The temperature sensor 50 has a pair of wires 51. Each wire 51 penetrates into the protruding seat 42 from the inside of the cup lid 40.

[0068] In this embodiment, the abutting conductor 60 is a metallic electrical conductor material such as iron, aluminum, copper, tin, gold, silver, or an alloy thereof, but it can also be a conductive plastic, conductive rubber, or ceramic material, as long as it can have good electrical conductivity. Each abutting conductor 60 is disposed inside the protruding seat 42, and each abutting conductor 60 is electrically connected to each wire 51 penetrating into the protruding seat 42. Specifically, the temperature measuring cup device 1 of the present application further includes an insulating seat 70. The insulating seat 70 can be made of a plastic insulating material. The insulating seat 70 in this embodiment is installed in the protruding seat 42 by bolt locking, but in other embodiments, it can also be fixed in the protruding seat 42 by means of snap connection, adhesion, or fitting. Each abutting conductor 60 penetrates through the insulating seat 70, so as to have a lapping end 61 and an abutting end 62 exposed outside the insulating seat 70. Each lapping end 61 is electrically connected to each wire 51 of the temperature sensor 50, and each abutting end 62 is respectively used for abutting against each spring probe 32. Specifically, each wire 51 can be fixed to each lapping end 61 by a terminal (not shown in the figure) in cooperation with a nut, but the present application does not limit this in detail.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 5 As shown, when the cup lid 40 is installed on the cup body 20, the second connecting portion 41 is connected to the first connecting portion 21 to seal the cavity 22, so that the temperature sensor 50 is accommodated in the cavity 22, and each abutting conductor 60 respectively abuts against the front end of each spring probe 32, so that the temperature sensor 50 is electrically connected to each spring probe 32 through each abutting conductor 60. Accordingly, not only can the convenience of disassembling or installing the temperature measuring cup device 1 be effectively improved, but also the wire arrangement can be facilitated to avoid the situation that the wires 51 are wound when multiple temperature measuring cup devices 1 rotate.

[0070] Refer to again Figures 3 to 5As shown, the electrical connection component 30 further includes a bottom plate 33. Each spring probe 32 in this embodiment includes a probe conductor 321, a pressure plate 322, and a compression spring 323. In each spring probe 32, the pressure plate 322 is sleeved and fixed on the outer edge of the probe conductor 321, and the compression spring 323 is sleeved on the outer edge of the probe conductor 321 and is located on the side of the pressure plate 322 away from the plane 11. The base 31 has a pair of receiving grooves 311 and a pair of through holes 312. Each through hole 312 is coaxially arranged corresponding to each receiving groove 311. The inner diameter of each receiving groove 311 is larger than the diameter of each through hole 312. Therefore, each probe conductor 321 can be slidably inserted through each through hole 312 and respectively received in each receiving groove 311, and each pressure plate 322 and each compression spring 323 are respectively received in each receiving groove 311. The bottom plate 33 is installed on the side of the base 31 away from the plane 11. The bottom plate 33 in this embodiment is fixed to the base 31 by a plurality of bolts, but the present application is not limited thereto. Thereby, both ends of each compression spring 323 respectively abut against the pressure plate 322 and the bottom plate 33, so that when the probe conductor 321 is pushed by an external force, it can collapse into the base 31 and compress the compression spring 323, and rely on the elastic force of the compression spring 323 to reset after the external force is removed. Also, the bottom plate 33 has a pair of through slots 331. Each through slot 331 is arranged corresponding to each through hole 312, and the inner diameter of each through slot 331 is larger than the outer diameter of each probe conductor 321. Thereby, when each probe conductor 321 collapses, the end of each probe conductor 321 can pass through each through hole 312 to avoid interference.

[0071] It is worth noting that a wire 324 passing through each through hole 312 is electrically connected to the end of each probe conductor 321. Since the wires 324 of each temperature measuring cup device 1 are all located inside the mounting bracket 10, the wires 324 of each temperature measuring cup device 1 will not be exposed outside the mounting bracket 10, and the wires 324 of each temperature measuring cup device 1 can be integrated inside the driving rotating shaft A. Therefore, when the driving rotating shaft A drives each temperature measuring cup device 1 to rotate, the problem of wire 324 entanglement will not occur.

[0072] Further illustration, the temperature measuring cup device 1 of the present application further includes a pressing block 80 and a positioning piece 90. The pressing block 80 is disposed on the plane 11 and is used for pressing and fixing the cup lid 40. Specifically, the pressing block 80 has a connected wrench part 81 and a pressing part 82. When the user toggles the wrench part 81, the wrench part 81 can drive the pressing part 82 to act, so as to press or release the cup lid 40 to prevent the cup lid 40 from loosening. The positioning piece 90 is installed on the plane 11 through a plurality of bolts, but in other embodiments, other fixing methods can also be adopted. The positioning piece 90 has a limiting notch 91. In this embodiment, the shape of the limiting notch 91 corresponds to the outer edge shape of the protruding seat 42 and is generally rectangular. The outer edge of the protruding seat 42 is restricted within the limiting notch 91, thereby forming a positioning effect on the cup lid 40. Therefore, when installing the cup lid 40 on the cup body 20, the user can form a positioning by accommodating the protruding seat 42 of the cup lid 40 within the limiting notch 91 of the positioning piece 90, thereby confirming that the installation of the cup lid 40 is completed, and further pressing and fixing the cup lid 40 by the pressing block 80.

[0073] For the temperature measuring cup device 1 of the present application, by fixing the electrical connection component 30 on the mounting bracket 10 and providing a contact conductor 60 electrically connected to the temperature sensor 50 on the cup lid 40, after the cup lid 40 is installed on the cup body 20 passing through the mounting bracket 10, the temperature sensor 50 can be electrically connected to the spring probe 32 by the contact conductor 60 abutting against the spring probe 32 of the electrical connection component 30, thereby effectively and real-time monitoring the temperature of the dye solution in the temperature measuring cup device 1. Therefore, not only can the convenience during disassembly or installation of the temperature measuring cup device 1 be effectively improved, but also the wire arrangement can be facilitated to avoid the situation of wire 51 entanglement when multiple temperature measuring cup devices 1 rotate.

[0074] In summary, the content disclosed above in the present application is to enable those with ordinary knowledge in the art to clearly understand the technical content of the present application and implement it accordingly, rather than intending to limit the patent protection scope of the present application. In addition, there are of course various other embodiments not listed in the present application. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present application, those skilled in the art should be able to evolve various corresponding changes and deformations according to the present application, but these corresponding changes and deformations should all fall within the protection scope of the patent applied for in the present application.
