The end that absorbs heat generates a low temperature. The low-temperature end of the thermoelectric cooler 7 is attached to the conductive block 5. Therefore, the low temperature will be transferred to the conductive block 5, so that the conductive block 5 is also in a low-temperature state. The conductive block 5 can be made of plastic or rubber. After the low-temperature conductive block 5 contacts the patient's dental pulp, it can detect the activity of the dental pulp; the heat generated at the high-temperature end of the thermoelectric cooler 7 is transferred to the placing compartment 9 through the heat pipe 8. Reducing the temperature at the high-temperature end of the thermoelectric cooler 7 can maintain the cooling effect of the high and low temperature ends of the thermoelectric cooler 7 for a long time.

[0031] In this embodiment, the end connecting shell 2 3 is clamped with one end of the middle connecting shell 2, and the end of the middle connecting shell 2 away from the end connecting shell 2 3 is threadedly connected with the end connecting shell 1; a connecting column is provided at one end of the end connecting shell 1 close to the conduction block 5, and the conduction block 5 is fixedly connected to the end connecting shell 1 through the connecting column, and a round hole for the conduction block 5 to pass through is provided at the bottom of the end connecting shell 1; the heat pipe 8 is cylindrical; a control button is embedded on the outer side of the middle connecting shell 2, and a plurality of anti-slip protrusions are evenly provided on the outer side of the end connecting shell 1 close to the middle connecting shell 2;

[0032] An outer tube 10 is sleeved on the outer side of the middle section of the heat conducting pipe 8 . The outer tube 10 is located inside the middle section connecting shell 2 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the middle section connecting shell 2 .

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, phase change heat storage material is stored in the storage compartment 9. After the high temperature is transferred to the storage compartment 9 along the heat pipe 8, the phase change heat storage material in the storage compartment 9 can absorb the heat and produce phase change. The storage compartment 9 is an integrated sealed arrangement, which can prevent the phase change heat storage material from leaking to the outside of the storage compartment 9 and prevent the phase change heat storage material from corroding the end connecting shell 1, the middle connecting shell 2, the end connecting shell 3 and the heat pipe 8; the multiple heat dissipation holes 6 on the end connecting shell 2 3 correspond to the position of the storage compartment 9, and the heat that the phase change heat storage material has no time to absorb can be discharged through the heat dissipation holes 6, thereby preventing heat from accumulating in the end connecting shell 2 3.

[0035] The end connecting shell 1, the middle connecting shell 2 and the end connecting shell 3 are coaxially arranged; the heat conducting pipe 8 and the storage compartment 9 are coaxially arranged.

[0036] By adopting the above technical scheme, the two ends of the middle connecting shell 2 are respectively clamped with the end connecting shell 1 and the end connecting shell 2 3, which makes installation and disassembly more convenient. When the parts in the end connecting shell 1, the middle connecting shell 2 and the end connecting shell 2 3 are damaged, they can be repaired or replaced by disassembling the end connecting shell 1, the middle connecting shell 2 and the end connecting shell 2 3, which is convenient and quick. After the cover 4 is connected to the end connecting shell 2 3, the two springs 12 can resist the storage compartment 9 to ensure the stability of the storage compartment 9 and prevent the storage compartment 9 from shaking.

[0037] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: under the action of the Peltier effect, after the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 7 is connected to a DC power supply, a temperature difference will be generated at the joint, one end absorbs heat, and the other end releases heat, and the end that absorbs heat generates a low temperature. The low-temperature end of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 7 is in contact with the conduction block 5, so the low temperature will be transferred to the conduction block 5, so that the conduction block 5 is also in a low-temperature state. After the conduction block 5 in a low-temperature state contacts the dental pulp of the patient, the activity of the dental pulp can be detected; the heat generated by the high-temperature end of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 7 is transferred to the storage compartment 9 through the heat conduction pipe 8, and the temperature of the high-temperature end of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 7 is reduced, so that the refrigeration effect of the high and low temperature ends of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 7 can be maintained for a long time;

[0038] Phase change heat storage material is stored in the storage compartment 9. After the high temperature is transferred to the storage compartment 9 along the heat pipe 8, the phase change heat storage material in the storage compartment 9 can absorb the heat and produce phase change. The storage compartment 9 is an integrated sealed arrangement, which can prevent the phase change heat storage material from leaking to the outside of the storage compartment 9 and prevent the phase change heat storage material from corroding the end connection shell 1, the middle connection shell 2, the end connection shell 3 and the heat pipe 8; the multiple heat dissipation holes 6 on the end connection shell 2 3 correspond to the position of the storage compartment 9, and the heat that the phase change heat storage material has not had time to absorb can be discharged through the heat dissipation holes 6, thereby preventing heat from accumulating in the end connection shell 2 3;

[0039] The two ends of the middle connecting shell 2 are respectively clamped with the end connecting shell 1 and the end connecting shell 2 3, which is convenient for installation and disassembly. When the parts in the end connecting shell 1, the middle connecting shell 2 and the end connecting shell 2 3 are damaged, they can be repaired or replaced by disassembling the end connecting shell 1, the middle connecting shell 2 and the end connecting shell 2 3, which is convenient and quick; after the cover 4 is connected to the end connecting shell 2 3, the two springs 12 can resist the storage compartment 9 to ensure the stability of the storage compartment 9 and prevent the storage compartment 9 from shaking.
