Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of temperature measurement, especially a rotary food thermometer that can be started by one hand. BACKGROUND

[0002] A food thermometer is a tool used to measure and monitor the temperature of food, widely used in kitchen cooking, food processing, catering services, and food storage. Its main function is to ensure that food is processed and stored within a safe temperature range, thereby ensuring food safety and quality.

[0003] The probe thermometer is the most common type of food thermometer, usually equipped with an elongated probe that can be inserted into the food for temperature measurement. This thermometer has the advantages of accurate measurement, fast response, easy cleaning, and is widely used in various food production and processing places.

[0004] However, traditional probe thermometers often have some design deficiencies. First, many thermometers are fixed and integrated, meaning the probe and thermometer body cannot be separated or rotated. This design results in a large storage space, especially in limited spaces such as kitchens, where this inconvenience is particularly evident. In addition, for situations that require frequent probe replacement or deep cleaning, the fixed and integrated design also increases the complexity of operation.

[0005] To solve this problem, the market has emerged with rotatable food thermometers. These thermometers are usually equipped with a rotatable probe that can be rotated close to the thermometer body when not in use, reducing storage space. However, many rotatable thermometers require two-handed operation when starting, i.e. one hand holds the thermometer body and the other hand rotates the probe cover. This operating method is particularly inconvenient in fast-paced environments, especially when multiple food temperatures need to be measured quickly or multiple tasks need to be handled simultaneously.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the market for a new food thermometer that can effectively save storage space and achieve one-handed convenient operation. This thermometer should have an easy-to-open and close rotating cover while ensuring measurement accuracy and durability. To meet this demand, we propose a design scheme for a temperature measuring device, aiming to solve the shortcomings of existing food thermometers in terms of storage space occupation and operational convenience through innovative design and technical optimization. SUMMARY

[0007] The purpose of this part is to summarize some aspects of the embodiments of the present application and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments, and some simplifications or omissions may be made in this part and the abstract of the description and the name of the utility model to avoid obscuring the purpose of this part, the abstract of the description and the name of the utility model, and such simplifications or omissions cannot be used to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0008] In view of the above and / or problems existing in the prior art, the present application is proposed.

[0009] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present application is that the basic food thermometer does not have the function of rotating opening, the fixed integrated thermometer increases the actual storage space, and the rotatable thermometer needs to increase the manual opening step, and the overall operation convenience is general.

[0010] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: a temperature measuring device, comprising, shell, temperature measuring probe and temperature display component, the shell is provided with power supply and PCB control panel, temperature measuring probe and temperature display component and PCB control panel electric connection, its characterized in be: including shell, rotating seat, normally open switch and through slot;

[0011] The rotating seat is connected to the shell and can rotate relative to the shell.

[0012] The temperature measuring probe is installed on the rotating seat, and the rotating seat can drive the temperature measuring probe to rotate close to and away from the shell to close and expand the temperature measuring probe.

[0013] The normally open switch is electrically connected with the PCB control panel, and when not inducted or not subjected to external force, the switch contact is in the open state, and the circuit is open. When subjected to external force or inducted to object, the contact will be closed, and the circuit will become a path.

[0014] When the temperature measuring probe rotates away from the shell, the rotating seat can be separated from the normally open switch to start the temperature measuring device.

[0015] Further, the shell comprises a first shell and a second shell, and the temperature measuring device further comprises a rotating seat arranged between the first shell and the second shell and rotatable between the first shell and the second shell.

[0016] Further, the rotating seat is fixedly provided with a protrusion, one side of the protrusion towards the shell is provided with a normally open switch electrically connected with the PCB control board, the normally open switch is arranged on the rotating path of the protrusion, and the protrusion can abut against the normally open switch.

[0017] When the temperature measuring probe rotates to approach the shell, the rotating seat drives the protrusion to abut against the normally open switch, and the temperature measuring device is closed; when the temperature measuring probe rotates to move away from the shell, the rotating seat drives the protrusion to separate from the normally open switch, and the temperature measuring device is opened.

[0018] Further, the normally open switch can be replaced by a normally closed switch, and the switch is in a closed state when not powered or not subjected to external force. At this time, the current can pass through the switch to form a path.

[0019] When the temperature measuring probe rotates to move away from the shell, the rotating seat can separate from the normally closed switch to start the temperature measuring device; when the temperature measuring probe rotates to approach the shell, the rotating seat can abut against the normally closed switch to close the temperature measuring device. The same effect of starting the temperature measuring device can be achieved while the temperature measuring probe is unfolded by one hand.

[0020] Further, the shell is provided with a cavity, and the cavity can accommodate the head of the temperature measuring probe when the temperature measuring probe is in the closed position. When in use, the user can conveniently push out the temperature measuring probe with one finger, and then the finger can rotate along the probe to open the temperature measuring device.

[0021] As a preferred scheme of the temperature measuring device, the front surface of the first shell is clamped with a sealing cover, and the sealing cover is matched with the battery compartment.

[0022] As a preferred scheme of the temperature measuring device, a first through hole is formed in the bottom of the surface of the first shell, a second through hole is formed in the bottom of the surface of the second shell, and the first through hole and the second through hole are of the same specification.

[0023] As a preferred scheme of the temperature measuring device, the back surface of the first shell is fixedly connected with a positioning chuck, the front surface of the second shell is fixedly connected with a receiving sleeve, and the positioning chuck penetrates into the receiving sleeve and is in sliding contact with the receiving sleeve.

[0024] As a preferred scheme of the temperature measuring device, the top of one side surface of the shell is fixedly connected with a positioning block, and the positioning block penetrates into the interior of the rotating seat and is movably connected with the rotating seat.

[0025] As a preferred scheme of the temperature measuring device, the temperature display part is a display screen fixedly embedded in the back surface of one side shell.

[0026] In another aspect of the utility model, the problem that closed temperature measuring probe is inconvenient to take out with one hand is solved. A temperature measuring device has a shell, a temperature measuring probe and a temperature display component, the shell is internally provided with a power supply and a PCB control board, the temperature measuring probe and the temperature display component are electrically connected with the PCB control board, and the temperature measuring device is characterized by comprising a shell, a rotating seat and a through slot.

[0027] The rotating seat is connected on the shell and can rotate relative to the shell.

[0028] The temperature measuring probe is installed on the rotating seat, and the rotating seat can drive the temperature measuring probe to rotate to approach and move away from the shell to close and unfold the temperature measuring probe.

[0029] The edge of the one-side shell is provided with a through slot, and when the temperature measuring probe is in the closed position, the length of the through slot perpendicular to the direction of the temperature measuring probe is greater than the cross-sectional diameter of the temperature measuring probe. Since the length of the through slot perpendicular to the direction of the temperature measuring probe is greater than the cross-sectional diameter of the temperature measuring probe, the user can more conveniently use only one finger to pull out the closed temperature measuring probe, thereby realizing the effect of rapid unfolding.

[0030] The utility model has the advantages of:

[0031] 1. By setting the through slot at the edge of the one-side shell, the user can more conveniently unfold the probe with one hand, increasing convenience.

[0032] 2. The temperature measuring probe is unfolded at the same time, and the temperature measuring device is started, so that the user does not need to rely on two hands to cooperate. Two functions are realized by one operation, which can significantly improve work efficiency, especially in the case of needing to quickly measure the temperature of multiple foods or simultaneously process multiple tasks.

[0046] Further, the housing is provided with a containing cavity, when the temperature measuring probe 103b is in a closed position, the containing cavity can accommodate a head portion of the temperature measuring probe 103b.

[0047] A through slot 101a is arranged at an edge of the first housing 101, when the temperature measuring probe is in a closed position, a length of the through slot perpendicular to a direction of the temperature measuring probe is greater than a cross-sectional diameter of the temperature measuring probe.
