Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mercury thermometer technology, and in particular relates to a mercury thermometer. Background Technology
[0002] A thermometer is a maximum temperature meter, also known as a "medical thermometer." It records the highest temperature ever measured. Mercury thermometers are the most common type. They maintain the mercury column in place as body temperature rises, making it easy for medical staff to monitor the temperature. Because of the dense structure of glass, mercury is very stable, so mercury thermometers are accurate, stable, inexpensive, and do not require an external power source, making them highly trusted by people, especially medical professionals.
[0003] Mercury thermometers are small in size and have fine graduations, making it inconvenient for some patients to read the temperature at night or in low-light environments. They need to take the thermometer to a well-lit place to read the temperature, which undoubtedly increases the inconvenience for some patients with mobility issues. Therefore, we propose a mercury thermometer to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0030] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "middle", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the specific solution of the embodiment is as follows: A mercury thermometer includes a thermometer body 1, a light-emitting cord 2 connected to the handheld end of the thermometer body 1, a clamp 3 connected to the other end of the light-emitting cord 2, a protective cover 4 fixedly installed on one side of the clamp 3, a sliding component provided inside the protective cover 4, a magnifying glass 5 provided on one side of the sliding component, a rotating block 13 rotatably installed on the side of the clamp 3 away from the protective cover 4, and an LED light 14 installed on the side of the rotating block 13 away from the clamp 3.
[0033] The luminous rope 2 is a braided rope made of luminous fiber filaments. The thermometer body 1 is held within a fixed range by the clamp 3. When the thermometer body 1 is used at night or in a dim environment, the luminous rope 2 will emit a soft light, which makes it easier for the user to quickly find the thermometer body 1 in a dim environment and reduces the trouble of searching in a dim environment.
[0034] In addition, the light from the LED light 14, combined with the magnifying glass 5, allows users to read body temperature data more easily and accurately in dim environments, greatly improving the ease of use of the thermometer body 1.
[0035] It is worth noting that LED light 14 is a small lighting lamp, which can be either touch-sensitive or switch-type, and is powered by a battery, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0036] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the thermometer body 1 includes a measuring end 101 and a connecting end 102. A first through hole is provided on the surface of the connecting end 102. The luminous rope 2 is connected to the thermometer body 1 through the through hole on the surface of the connecting end 102. A second through hole 7 is provided on the surface of the clamping plate 3. The end of the luminous rope 2 away from the thermometer body 1 is connected to the clamping plate 3 through the second through hole 7.
[0037] The first and second through holes 7 facilitate the connection of the luminous rope 2 to the thermometer body 1 and the clamp 3.
[0038] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the protective cover 4 has an outlet on its side wall. The sliding assembly includes two sliding grooves 10 that are opened on the inner wall of the protective cover 4 and are arranged opposite to each other. A connecting block 11 is slidably installed inside the two sliding grooves 10. The magnifying glass 5 is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting block 11 near the outlet. A slot 9 is opened on the side of the protective cover 4 away from the clamping plate 3. A lever 6 is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting block 11 away from the clamping plate 3. The lever 6 extends to the outside of the protective cover 4 through the slot 9.
[0039] After the thermometer body 1 has measured the body temperature, the clamp 3 is removed, and the lever 6 is pushed to move the magnifying glass 5 outside the protective cover 4. This allows the reading on the surface of the thermometer body 1 to be magnified through the magnifying glass 5, making it easier for the user to observe the data.
[0040] In addition, storing the magnifying glass 5 inside the protective cover 4 after use can reduce the probability of scratches on the surface of the magnifying glass 5, thereby extending its service life.
[0041] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, the thermometer body 1 is further provided with a protective shell 8. The protective shell 8 includes a shell 801 and a cover 802. The cover 802 has an opening 12 at one end away from the shell 801. The light-emitting rope 2 extends to the outside of the protective shell 8 through the opening 12.
[0042] The protective shell 8 is designed to protect the thermometer body 1 from damage caused by accidental drops.
[0043] In addition, when the thermometer body 1 is pulled out from the housing 801, the cover 802 is located on the surface of the light-emitting cord 2, making it less likely to be lost.
[0044] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: Open the cover 802 and take the thermometer body 1 out of the housing 801. The thermometer body 1 is held in a fixed range by the clamp 3. When the thermometer body 1 is used at night or in a dark environment, the light-emitting rope 2 will emit a soft light, which makes it easier for the user to find the thermometer body 1 quickly in a dark environment, reducing the trouble of searching in a dark environment. After use, remove the clamp 3, push the lever 6 to move the magnifying glass 5 outside the protective cover 4, and turn on the LED light 14. The light from the LED light 14, together with the magnifying glass 5, makes it easier and more accurate for the user to read the body temperature data in a dark environment, which greatly improves the convenience of using the thermometer body 1.
[0045] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
