Transmission rod 6 is rotatably installed in extension pipe 2, and the end of extension pipe 2 away from hemispherical shell 1 is communicated with cylindrical cage shell 3. The inner side wall of cage shell 3 is connected with bimetallic scroll plate 5, and the center end of bimetallic scroll plate 5 is fixedly connected with transmission rod 6. Bimetallic scroll plate 5 is composed of two kinds of metals with different linear expansion coefficients, and bimetallic scroll plate 5 does not contact the inner cavity top wall and bottom arm of cage shell 3, so as to reduce the friction when bimetallic scroll plate 5 deforms, so that the water temperature sensor is more sensitive. Transmission rod 6 extends into hemispherical shell 1 and is movably connected with a plurality of planetary gear sets 7 for increasing the rotation angle and cooperating with each other, the input end of planetary gear set 7 is coaxially fixedly connected with transmission rod 6, and the output end of planetary gear set 7 is coaxially fixedly connected with pointer 14. If a plurality of planetary gear sets 7 are installed, the rotation angle of transmission rod 6 can be enlarged multiple times, and the detection accuracy of the water temperature sensor is increased. The dial plate 9 matched with the pointer 14 is installed at the opening of the hemispherical shell 1, and the sealed observation cover 4 is threadedly connected at the opening of the hemispherical shell 1. The dial plate 9 is provided with a scale for indicating temperature on the front surface, and the pointer 14 is matched with the scale of the dial plate 9.

[0030] The back of the dial 9 is fixedly installed with a rotary encoder 10 matched with the output end of the planetary gear set 7. The back of the dial 9 is also fixedly installed with a control board 11 and a battery 12, and the control board 11 and the battery 12 are respectively arranged on both sides of the rotary encoder 10 (so that the overall weight distribution of the water temperature sensor is symmetrical). The battery 12 supplies power to the control board 11, and the rotary encoder 10 is electrically connected with the control board 11. The control board 11 integrates a wireless transmission module. When the output end of the planetary gear set 7 rotates, the rotary encoder 10 outputs a signal to the control board 11, and the control board 11 calculates a temperature value according to the received signal, and the wireless transmission module of the control board 11 sends the temperature value to a corresponding receiving device.

[0031] The transmission rod 6 is coaxially fixedly sleeved with at least two first bearings 8, and the first bearings 8 are embedded in the extension pipe 2. The transmission rod 6 is rotatably connected with the extension pipe 2 by the at least two first bearings 8, which improves the stability of the rotation of the transmission rod 6 and reduces the resistance of the rotation of the transmission rod 6.

[0032] The transmission rod 6 is coaxially fixedly connected with a planetary gear set 7. The planetary gear set 7 includes a planet carrier 701 coaxially fixedly connected with the transmission rod 6. The planet carrier 701 is installed with at least three planet gears 702, and all the planet gears 702 are jointly meshed with a gear ring 705 fixedly connected with the hemispherical shell 1. All the planet gears 702 are jointly meshed with a sun gear 703, the sun gear 703 is coaxially fixedly connected with an output shaft 704, and the output shaft 704 is fixedly connected with the pointer 14. The output shaft 704 is coaxially fixedly sleeved with a second bearing 13, and the second bearing 13 is fixedly embedded in a groove of the dial 9. The output shaft 704 is rotatably connected with the dial 9 through the second bearing 13, which reduces the resistance of the rotation of the output shaft 704. The diameter of the sun gear 703 is smaller than the diameter of the planet gear 702. When the transmission rod 6 rotates, the rotation angle of the output shaft 704 is greater than the rotation angle of the planet carrier 701.

[0033] The sealed observation cover 4 includes a cover frame 401 threadedly connected with the hemispherical shell 1, and the cover frame 401 is embedded with a transparent plate 402 for observing the pointer 14 and the dial 9. The cover frame 401 and the hemispherical shell 1 are both provided with a polygonal outer ring for being screwed by a wrench.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] In use, the water temperature sensor is put into water, the hemispherical shell 1 floats on the water surface, the cage shell 3 is completely immersed in water, so that the bimetallic vortex sheet 5 is completely immersed in water, then the edge end of the bimetallic vortex sheet 5 is fixed, the center end of the bimetallic vortex sheet 5 drives the rotation of the transmission rod 6, the rotating transmission rod 6 drives the planetary gear set 7, the planetary gear set 7 amplifies the rotation angle of the transmission rod 6, so that the rotation angle of the pointer 14 is increased, the detection accuracy of the water temperature sensor is increased, and the user can observe the scale of the dial 9 indicated by the pointer 14 through the transparent plate 402;

[0036] At the same time that the planetary gear set 7 drives the rotation of the pointer 14 at the output end, the planetary gear set 7 drives the rotation encoder 10 at the output end to output a signal to the control board 11, the control board 11 calculates a temperature value according to the received signal, and the wireless transmission module of the control board 11 sends the temperature value to a corresponding receiving device (the receiving device is part of a factory temperature monitoring system).
