Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermometer technology, and in particular to a swimming pool thermometer. Background Technology

[0002] A thermometer is a tool used to measure temperature, and can be divided into pointer thermometers and digital thermometers. Before using a swimming pool, the temperature inside the pool needs to be measured so that the water can be adjusted to the optimal temperature. Existing pool thermometers often have poor sealing, making them prone to water ingress and damage during use. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by providing a swimming pool thermometer with better sealing performance.

[0004] This utility model provides a swimming pool thermometer, which includes...

[0005] The housing includes an upper cover and a lower cover, wherein the first end wall of the lower cover is sealed to the upper cover;

[0006] The sensor is exposed by the housing; and

[0007] The controller is housed within the housing and electrically connected to the sensor.

[0008] Furthermore, a gap is formed between the upper cover and the lower shell.

[0009] Furthermore, the gap is formed between the second end wall of the upper cover and the convex ring of the lower shell.

[0010] Furthermore, the pool thermometer also includes a seal disposed between the first end wall of the lower housing and the inner surface of the upper cover.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner surface of the top cover is provided with a receiving groove, and the sealing element is received in the receiving groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper cover is provided with a first threaded portion, and the lower shell is provided with a second threaded portion, with the first threaded portion and the second threaded portion being threadedly connected.

[0013] Furthermore, the upper cover is also provided with a receiving portion, which houses an antenna electrically connected to the controller.

[0014] Furthermore, the pool thermometer also includes a button electrically connected to the controller, the button being exposed from the top cover.

[0028] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-7 One embodiment of this utility model provides a swimming pool thermometer 100, which has better sealing and waterproof properties.

[0031] The pool thermometer 100 includes a housing 10, a sensor 20 exposed by the housing 10, and a controller 30 housed within the housing 10 and electrically connected to the sensor 20. The housing 10 includes an upper cover 11 and a lower cover 12, with a first end wall 121 of the lower cover 12 sealed to the upper cover 11. The sensor 20 may be an NTC thermistor.

[0032] In this utility model, the pool thermometer 100 housing 10 includes an upper cover 11 and a lower cover 12, with the first end wall 121 of the lower cover 12 sealed to the upper cover 11. When the pool thermometer 100 is placed in water, it floats approximately upright, preventing water from entering the housing 10 through the sealed connection between the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12, i.e., the connection between the first end wall 121 of the lower cover 12 and the upper cover 11. Furthermore, the side wall of the upper cover 11 and the side wall of the lower cover 12 may not be sealed; when water enters between the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12, it can still drain through the gaps between the side walls, thus providing a drainage channel for the pool thermometer 100. Compared to the prior art where the side walls of the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12 are sealed, this pool thermometer 100 is not only waterproof but also drainable.

[0033] The pool thermometer 100 also includes a sealing element 13, which is disposed between the first end wall 121 of the lower shell 12 and the inner surface 111 of the upper cover 11. The inner surface 111 of the upper cover 11 has a receiving groove 1111, in which the sealing element 13 is received. A gap 1121 is formed between the upper cover 11 and the lower shell 12. Specifically, the gap 1121 is formed between the second end wall 112 of the upper cover 11 and the protruding ring 122 of the lower shell 12. When water enters the housing 10 through the gap 1121, it is blocked by the sealing element 13 and cannot further enter the area containing the controller 30, thus protecting the controller 30; the water that enters can also flow out of the housing 10 through the gap 1121, so that the pool thermometer 100 also has a drainage function, preventing water from clogging the housing 10, thus giving the pool thermometer 100 better sealing and waterproof properties.

[0034] The upper cover 11 is provided with a first threaded portion 113, and the lower shell 12 is provided with a second threaded portion 123. The first threaded portion 113 and the second threaded portion 123 are threadedly connected. The threaded connection not only facilitates the connection between the upper cover 11 and the lower shell 12, but also facilitates the disassembly of the upper cover 11 and the lower shell 12.

[0035] The upper cover 11 is also provided with a receiving portion 114, which houses an antenna 40 electrically connected to the controller 30. The receiving portion 114 is integrally formed with the upper cover 11 to prevent water from entering the housing 10 through the receiving portion 114. The antenna 40 can transmit data, such as temperature, time, and battery level, to the mobile device's APP in real time. When the pool thermometer 100 is offline, it can also temporarily store data, which will be transmitted to the APP when it comes online.

[0036] The pool thermometer 100 also includes a button 50, a display screen 70, and an LED indicator 80 electrically connected to the controller 30. The button 50, display screen 70, and LED indicator 80 are exposed through the top cover 11. The pool thermometer 100 also includes a battery 60 housed within the housing 10 and electrically connected to the controller 30. The battery 60 may be an alkaline battery. The battery 60 provides power to the controller 30, button 50, display screen 70, and LED indicator 80. The top cover 11 may have through holes 1112, 1113, and 1114, respectively for exposing the display screen 70, button 50, and LED indicator 80.

[0037] The upper cover 11 may also be provided with a waterproof membrane 16, which covers the upper cover 11 and can prevent water from entering the housing 10 through the through holes 1112, 1113 and 1114.

[0038] The top cover 11 may also have at least one connecting part 116, to which a connecting rope 117 can be connected. The swimming pool thermometer 100 can be tied to the side of the swimming pool through the connecting rope 117 to prevent it from drifting away. The connecting rope 117 may be made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, which is extremely corrosion-resistant in water. A desiccant 118 may also be placed inside the shell 10 to prevent damage caused by prolonged immersion in water.

[0039] The bottom 124 of the lower shell 12 has a through hole 1241, through which the sensor 20 extends. A protective sleeve 1242 may also protrude from the inner surface of the bottom 124, through which the through hole 1241 passes, protecting the sensor 20. A counterweight 1243 may be further provided between the protective sleeve 1242 and the inner wall of the lower shell 12. The counterweight 1243 is fitted onto the protective sleeve 1242, increasing the weight at the bottom so that the pool thermometer 100 can float vertically on the water surface. A plurality of support portions 1244 may also protrude from the outer surface of the bottom 124, spaced apart, allowing water to easily flow to the sensor 20 for water temperature measurement. The support portions 1244 also allow the pool thermometer 100 to be in an upright position.

[0040] A bracket 14 may also be provided inside the housing 10, and the bracket 14 can be snapped into the upper cover 11. The bracket 14 includes an upper bracket 141 and a lower bracket 142 connected to each other. The upper bracket 141 is housed in the upper cover 11 and is used to house the controller 30; the lower bracket 142 extends into the lower housing 12 and is used to house the battery 60. The upper bracket 141 may have a weight-reducing hole 1411 to reduce weight and facilitate the buoyancy of the pool thermometer 100.
