Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model discloses a moisture tester with a retractable cap, belonging to the field of measurement. Background technology:

[0002] A wood moisture meter is an instrument used to monitor the moisture content of wood. It has a wide range of applications in the measurement field, covering various sectors of the construction industry, primarily for measuring the moisture content of wood. The moisture content of wood has a significant impact on its properties and quality, including shrinkage, expansion, weight, strength, and durability.

[0003] The cap of a typical moisture meter is usually secured with a clip. After repeated disassembly and reassembly, the clip will gradually wear down, causing the cap to become loose and fall off. At the same time, if the cap is left lying around after being removed, it is also very easy to lose it during use, leaving the probe unprotected and potentially causing accidental injury to others. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a moisture tester with a retractable cap. A magnet is installed on the cap, and a pin holder is provided at the bottom of the instrument to store and retract the cap, avoiding wear and tear during disassembly and assembly. At the same time, the cap can also be stored on the instrument during use to prevent loss.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A moisture meter with a cap includes a cap and an instrument with a pin socket at one end. The cap can be detachably placed on the pin socket or the other end of the instrument away from the pin socket and is fixed by magnetic attraction.

[0007] Preferably, the cap has a cap hole inside, and the pin socket has a pin socket hole of the same size and position as the cap;

[0008] The instrument has a bottom hole on its end away from the pin socket, the size and position of which correspond to the cap.

[0009] Corresponding magnets are installed in the cap hole, pin socket hole, and bottom hole of the instrument.

[0010] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] This invention incorporates magnets on the pin socket, cap, and instrument. The magnets on the cap and the housing attract each other using the principle of opposite poles. When the cap is removed for use, it is attracted to the bottom of the instrument, reducing wear on the clips after repeated disassembly and assembly and preventing the cap from falling off and being lost. When not in use, the cap is attracted to the pin socket, preventing the pins from being unprotected and accidentally injuring others. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] See Figure 9 , 10 A moisture meter with a cap for storage includes a cap 2, a pin holder 3, and an instrument; one end of the instrument has a pin holder 3, and the other end is designated as the bottom of the instrument 4; the cap 1 can be detachably placed on the pin holder 3 and attracted to each other by a magnet 1; the cap 2 is removed from the pin holder 3, flipped over, aligned with the bottom of the instrument 4, and attracted to each other by the magnet 1, and the cap is stored on the bottom of the instrument 4, thus completing the storage and placement.

[0026] See Figure 1The cap 2 has two cap holes 21. Two magnets 1 are inserted into the cap holes 21 on the cap 2. The two magnets 1 have the same polarity facing outward. In this embodiment, they are set as N poles. In this embodiment, the cap holes 21 are cylindrical holes.

[0027] See Figure 2 The pin holder 3 has two pin holder holes 31 with the same size and position as the cap 2. Two magnets 1 are inserted into the pin holder holes 31 on the pin holder 3. The polarity of the two magnets facing outward is the S pole. In this embodiment, the pin holder hole 31 is a cylindrical hole.

[0028] See Figure 3 The instrument bottom 4 has two cap holes 21 with the same size and position as the cap. Two magnets 1 are inserted into the instrument bottom holes 41 on the instrument bottom 4. The two magnets have the S pole facing outward. In this embodiment, the instrument bottom hole 41 is a cylindrical hole.

[0029] See Figure 4 Magnet 1 is fitted into cap hole 21 on cap 2, and the end face of magnet 1 is flush with the outer contact surface.

[0030] See Figure 5 Magnet 1 is assembled in pin socket hole 31 on pin socket 3, and the end face of magnet 1 is flush with the outer contact surface.

[0031] See Figure 6 Magnet 1 is installed in the bottom hole 41 of the instrument bottom 4, and the end face of magnet 1 is flush with the outer contact surface.

[0032] See Figure 7 When not in use, the cap 1 covers the pin socket 3, and the two are attracted to each other by the magnet 1, covering the pin inside the cap 1, which protects the pin and prevents the pin from accidentally injuring people.

[0033] See Figure 8 When using the instrument, remove the cap 2 from the pin socket 3, flip it over and align it with the bottom 4 of the instrument. The cap 2 is then stored on the bottom 4 of the instrument by the attraction of the magnet 1.

[0034] The selection of magnet 1 can be changed according to the weight of the cap and the required attractive force.

[0035] The above description is merely an embodiment of the utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
