[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, a salinity meter includes a housing 1 and a test probe 2. The test probe 2 is pluggably fitted onto the front end of the housing 1. An electrode rod 3 is installed inside the test probe 2. A gold-plated electrode 4 is fixed to the front end of the electrode rod 3. The gold-plated electrode 4 passes through the test probe 2 and extends outward. A circuit board 5 is fixed inside the housing 1. An LCD display screen 6 is installed on the circuit board 5. A display window 7 is provided on the housing 1. The LCD display screen 6 is located on the display window 7. A pen cap 8 is provided at the front end of the housing 1. The pen cap 8 is snapped into the housing 1.

[0024] In the above-described structural state, after opening the pen cap 8, the test probe 2 is exposed. Depending on the usage, the gold-plated electrode 4 on the surface of the test probe 2 can be cleaned. Alternatively, the test probe 2 can be directly pulled out from the outer casing 1 for easy replacement. The pen cap 8 protects the test probe 2 from being clean. The salinity after the test is displayed on the LCD screen 6 on the circuit board 5, and the user can directly see it in the display window 7.

[0025] Specifically, the front end of the circuit board 5 is provided with an electrode spring 9, which is elastically engaged with the rear end of the electrode rod 3. The front end of the housing 1 is provided with a sealing gasket 10, and the test probe 2 is pressed on the sealing gasket 10. The rear end of the probe is fitted with a sealing gasket 11, and the outer side of the sealing gasket 11 is elastically connected to the inner sidewall of the housing 1. A lens 12 is installed at the upper end of the housing 1, and the lens 12 is located inside the display window 7. A silicone button 13 is installed on the housing 1, and the silicone button 13 is elastically connected to the circuit board 5. The rear end of the housing 1 is provided with a back cover 14 and a pen cap 15. The front end of the back cover 14 is engaged with the inner side of the housing 1, and the pen cap 15 is fitted on the rear end of the back cover 14. A battery 16 is installed inside the back cover 14. A battery spring 17 is inserted into the rear end of the circuit board 5, and the battery spring 17 passes through the back cover 14 and is electrically connected to the battery 16.

[0026] After pressing the silicone button 13, the device can be powered on via the circuit board 5. Place the test probe 2 into the saline solution to be tested. The salinity signal is transmitted to the circuit board 5 via the electrode rod 3 through the gold-plated electrode 4. After automatic testing, the test result will be locked and displayed. Remove the probe from the saline solution to be tested. After the display period expires, the device will automatically enter the detection state and can be placed back into the saline solution to be tested. Pressing the silicone button 13 a second time will enter the power-off state and automatically power off.

[0027] The sealing gasket 10 and sealing washer 11 seal the connection between the test probe 2 and the housing 1, ensuring that the test probe 2 can be easily inserted and removed while protecting the internal circuit board 5. The battery 16 can be installed and replaced by opening the pen cover 15 at the rear. The power provided by the battery 16 is input into the circuit board 5 through the battery spring 17.

[0028] The test probe 2 is equipped with a connecting pin 18, and the gold-plated electrode 4 is equipped with a temperature sensor 19. One end of the temperature sensor 19 is connected to the electrode rod 3, and the other end of the temperature sensor 19 is connected to the connecting pin 18. The temperature sensor 19 is a thermistor. The connection between the temperature sensor 19, the electrode rod 3, and the connecting pin 18 is made by a wire. The wire is not polarized. The temperature sensor 19 measures the temperature of the liquid to be tested. Different temperatures will cause changes in the salt concentration of the liquid. It can accurately tell the user the temperature corresponding to the concentration of the liquid to be tested.

[0029] It should be stated that the above-described specific embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and the technical principles applied thereto. Within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, any variations or substitutions that are easily conceived by those skilled in the art should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
