Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of water quality detection, and in particular relates to a portable and retractable TDS water quality detection pen. Background Art

[0002] Traditional portable, retractable TDS water quality test pens typically utilize a fixed probe design, making it susceptible to contamination and physical damage from prolonged exposure. Furthermore, the probe's large size makes it difficult to carry. Some products attempt to address this issue with detachable structures, but frequent disassembly and assembly can easily lead to poor connections or component loss. Furthermore, the circuit board mounting system of existing test pens is susceptible to vibration and displacement, affecting the stability of the electrode connection. Furthermore, the outer casing lacks effective dust protection, allowing dust to easily penetrate the internal circuitry through gaps in the buttons, reducing device reliability.

[0003] In the prior art, there is a TDS water quality test pen with announcement number CN222529271U. The circuit board is fixed inside the pen-shaped body of the test pen, and a power supply consisting of a battery cover, a battery holder and a button battery is installed at the tail. A probe with a metal probe is provided at the front end, and the probe is welded to the circuit board through the metal terminal; a display opening and a button opening are provided on the side wall of the body; a probe cap is provided on the outside of the probe, and a sealing ring is provided inside; the battery installation direction is prevented from reverse installation by the cooperation of a positioning inclined wall and a limiting rib; however, the probe is a fixed structure, without a telescopic protection mechanism, and the metal terminal and the probe are fixed by welding, and the overall structure lacks a telescopic guide mechanism, resulting in the probe being unable to be extended when in use or retracted when stored, resulting in insufficient portability and protection. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem solved by the utility model is to overcome the defects in the prior art and provide a portable and retractable TDS water quality detection pen.

A plurality of fixing cards 105 are provided on the inner wall of the pen body shell 101 , and the circuit board 3 is fixed inside the pen body shell 101 through the fixing cards 105 .

[0032] A dustproof plate 504 is provided between the through hole 104 and the detection mechanism 2 . The dustproof plate 504 is fixedly connected to the sliding button 501 and is in close contact with the inner wall of the pen body housing 101 .

[0033] The detection mechanism 2 is provided with a probe 201 at the front, a first metal terminal 202 and a circuit board avoidance groove 203 at the rear, and a second metal terminal 301 is provided at the front of the circuit board 3.

The clamping points 602 cooperate with the probe front cover 102 , and the detection mechanism 2 moves in the through hole 601 .

[0036] It also includes a display screen 7 and a plurality of buttons 8 , and both the display screen 7 and the buttons 8 are electrically connected to the circuit board 3 .

[0037] The portable retractable TDS water quality testing pen of this embodiment is in the shape of a flat pen as a whole, and is composed of a shell mechanism 1, a testing mechanism 2, a circuit board 3, a battery compartment 4, a display screen 7 and a plurality of buttons 8.

[0038] Specifically, the pen body housing 101 in the housing mechanism 1 is injection-molded from chemically resistant ABS. The front clip 6 of the pen body housing 101 engages with the probe front cover 102 via two side snap points 602. A through-hole corresponding to the probe 201 is provided in the center of the probe front cover 102 to facilitate extension and retraction. The rear battery cover 103 also engages with the battery compartment 4 through a snap-fit ​​fit.

[0039] Specifically, the probes 201 in the detection mechanism 2 are two stainless steel probes fixed to an insulating base. The rear end of the base is equipped with a first metal terminal 202 and a circuit board avoidance groove 203. A slider 204 with a semicircular cross-section is injection-molded on the right side of the base. The left side is fixedly connected to a sliding button 501, with the button cap exposing a through-hole 104.

[0040] Specifically, the slide rail 502 in the retractable mechanism is a POM injection-molded part fixed to the inner wall of the pen housing 101. The slide groove 503 is loosely fitted with the slider 204. Limiting bumps are located at each end of the slide groove 503 to prevent the detection mechanism 2 from slipping out. The dust shield 504 is a thick silicone sheet, integrally molded with the slide button 501. As the button moves, it always covers the through-hole 104, achieving a dynamic seal.

[0041] Specifically, the circuit board 3 is a double-sided FR-4 board, with a second metal terminal 301 at the front end that slides and engages with the first metal terminal 202. The board is suspended within the pen housing 101 by four fixing clips 105, leaving a gap between it and the battery compartment 4 to prevent impact from drops.

[0042] Specifically, the battery compartment 4 is ABS injection molded, and nickel-plated stainless steel electrodes 402 are embedded on both sides of the compartment body. The electrode springs are in elastic contact with the button battery 403; the connection card 401 cooperates with the circuit board 3 and is electrically connected to realize power supply.

[0043] Specifically, the display screen 7 is embedded in the plane window of the pen body shell 101 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 3; the two touch buttons 8 are located on the lower side of the display screen, and the key caps are flush with the shell.

[0044] Specifically, the user removes the probe front cover 102 and presses the slide button 501 forward. The probe 201 extends out of the pen housing 101, and the first metal terminal 202 and second metal terminal 301 slide into contact, automatically powering on. The probe 201 is then inserted into the liquid being tested. The MCU samples the liquid, performs temperature compensation, and displays the TDS value in real time. When the test is complete, the button is pulled back, the probe retracts, and the system automatically shuts down. When the battery is low, the button cover 103 is opened to replace the button battery 403.

[0045] Through the above structure, this embodiment achieves probe telescopic protection, quick-release battery, dust and water resistance, and stable electrical connection while maintaining the pen shape and portability, significantly improving the reliability, lifespan, and detection measurement of the portable retractable TDS water quality detection pen.
