Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of temperature sensors, in particular to a temperature sensor. Background Art

[0002] With the development of society, temperature sensors are increasingly used in various fields. A temperature sensor is a device that measures temperature and converts the temperature signal into an electrical signal or other easily processable signal output. Temperature sensors play a vital role in many fields, including industrial production, scientific research, medical care, and environmental monitoring.

[0003] Existing temperature sensors typically use thermistors to measure temperature. A thermistor is a resistor element that is highly sensitive to temperature changes, with its resistance value varying significantly with temperature. By measuring the resistance of a thermistor, the temperature of the object being measured can be determined. Thermistors are widely used in temperature sensors due to their high sensitivity, fast response, compact size, and low cost.

[0004] However, existing temperature sensors present a significant problem. Thermistors are typically sealed within the device, making them difficult to repair or replace if damaged. This is because, in many cases, to ensure measurement accuracy and stability, the thermistor is enclosed in a sealed structure that is difficult to disassemble. Damage to the thermistor requires replacing the entire temperature sensor, which not only increases costs but can also lead to extended equipment downtime and compromise production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

A metal protective cover 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the cylindrical mounting block 2, the thermistor 4 is located inside the metal protective cover 5, and a fixing component 6 is installed between the thermistor 4 and the metal protective cover 5; the fixing component 6 includes a mounting groove 601, a clamping block 603 and a clamping groove 604, the mounting groove 601 has two openings on the top of the outer wall of the cylindrical mounting block 2, the clamping block 603 is slidably installed inside the mounting groove 601, the clamping groove 604 has two openings on the inner wall of the metal protective cover 5, and the clamping block 603 is located inside the clamping groove 604.

[0025] Thermistor 4 is sensitive to temperature changes, and its resistance value changes accordingly when the temperature changes. The resistance change signal of thermistor 4 is transmitted through power line 3. When installing metal shield 5, metal shield 5 is aligned with cylindrical mounting block 2 and pressed downward. The inner wall of metal shield 5 squeezes block 603, causing block 603 to compress first spring 602 and slide into mounting slot 601. When metal shield 5 is fully installed, block 603 is ejected by first spring 602 and snaps into slot 604, thereby securing metal shield 5 to cylindrical mounting block 2. When thermistor 4 needs to be repaired or replaced, block 603 is pushed out of slot 604, allowing metal shield 5 to be removed for repair or replacement.

[0026] The rear end of the clamping block 603 is fixedly connected to the first spring 602 , and the rear end of the first spring 602 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 601 .

[0027] When installing the metal shield 5, the first spring 602 is compressed, providing an outward elastic force to the clamping block 603, allowing the clamping block 603 to be locked into the clamping slot 604. When the metal shield 5 needs to be removed, the clamping block 603 is pushed, causing the clamping block 603 to compress the first spring 602 and withdraw from the clamping slot 604, thereby releasing the metal shield 5.

[0028] A second mounting groove 605 is provided on the inner wall of the metal protective cover 5. There are two second mounting grooves 605. The second mounting groove 605 is connected to the card slot 604. A push block 606 is slidably installed inside the second mounting groove 605. The front end of the push block 606 is located inside the card slot 604. The rear end of the push block 606 is fixedly connected with a baffle 607. The baffle 607 is located on the outside of the metal protective cover 5. A second spring 608 is installed between the baffle 607 and the metal protective cover 5.

This enables it to work without an external power supply, thereby improving the flexibility of the temperature sensor.

[0032] A cover plate 9 is installed at the bottom of the cylindrical mounting block 2, and the cover plate 9 is located at the bottom of the battery 8. An external thread 201 is provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the cylindrical mounting block 2, and an internal thread 901 is provided on the inner wall of the cover plate 9. The external thread 201 and the internal thread 901 can cooperate with each other.

[0033] When installing the cover plate 9, align the internal thread 901 of the cover plate 9 with the external thread 201 of the cylindrical mounting block 2, rotate the cover plate 9, and fix the cover plate 9 on the cylindrical mounting block 2, thereby enclosing the battery 8 in the third mounting groove 7, which can protect the battery 8 and prevent the battery 8 from loosening or falling, and facilitate the replacement of the battery 8.

[0034] A branch line 301 is fixedly connected to the power line 3 , and a display screen 10 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the cylindrical mounting block 2 . The display screen 10 and the branch line 301 are connected to each other.

[0035] The thermistor 4 converts the temperature signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the branch line 301 through the power line 3. The branch line 301 transmits the electrical signal to the display screen 10. The display screen 10 converts the electrical signal into a temperature value and displays it.

[0036] A flange 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cylindrical mounting block 2 .

[0037] The temperature sensor can be installed at a designated location, such as a pipeline, equipment, etc., through the flange 11, thereby improving the convenience of using the temperature sensor.

[0038] Working principle: When the temperature sensor is used, the battery 8 provides power to the thermistor 4, the display screen 10 and other components through the power line 3.

[0039] Thermistor 4 senses the temperature change of the object being measured, and its resistance value changes. The change in resistance value is transmitted to the display screen 10 through the power line 3, and the display screen 10 converts the electrical signal into the temperature value and displays it.

[0040] When the thermistor 4 needs to be repaired or replaced, the baffle 607 is pushed to make the push block 606 squeeze the card block 603, and the card block 603 withdraws from the card slot 604, releasing the fixation of the metal protective cover 5, and then the metal protective cover 5 is removed, and the thermistor 4 can be repaired or replaced.

[0041] After the repair or replacement is completed, the metal protective cover 5 is aligned with the cylindrical mounting block 2 and pressed down. The clamping block 603 is clamped into the clamping groove 604 under the action of the first spring 602, and the installation of the metal protective cover 5 is completed.
