By cleverly installing the storage compartment 2 on one side of the imager main unit 1 and designing the adapter cable connector locking assembly 3 to be placed inside the storage compartment 2, orderly storage and management of the adapter cables are achieved. The sliding fit design between the inner groove 11 and the storage compartment 2 allows the storage compartment 2 to be easily opened and closed, facilitating the user to easily remove or insert the adapter cable. The adapter connector locking assembly 3 employs two symmetrically arranged fixing plates 31, with grooves 311 formed on the side walls of the fixing plates 31. Movable blocks 32 and locking blocks 321 are disposed within the grooves 311. This structural design securely holds the adapter connector, preventing it from shaking or falling out within the storage compartment 2, thus ensuring the stability and safety of the adapter cable. The overall design is both practical and convenient, effectively improving the user experience of the mobile thermal imager and the management efficiency of the adapter cables.
[0023] In this embodiment, a handle 23 is installed on the outer wall of the storage compartment 2. The design of the handle 23 makes it easier and more convenient for users to open the storage compartment 2, improving the convenience of operation and user experience. Users can quickly open the storage compartment 2 and take out or put in the adapter cable with just a gentle pull.
[0024] Specifically, an iron sheet 112 is installed on the bottom inner wall of the inner groove 11, and a magnetic absorbing piece 22 is embedded on the outer wall of the storage compartment 2 near the iron sheet 112. The magnetic absorbing piece 22 is magnetically attracted to the iron sheet 112. Through the magnetic attraction between the magnetic absorbing piece 22 and the iron sheet 112, a stable connection is achieved between the storage compartment 2 and the imaging device host 1. This design not only enhances the stability of the storage compartment 2, but also allows the storage compartment 2 to automatically align and attract when closed, improving the convenience and stability of use.
[0025] Furthermore, the inner walls on both sides of the inner groove 11 are provided with sliding grooves 111, and a slider 21 is installed on the outer wall of the storage compartment 2 near the sliding grooves 111. The slider 21 slides in engagement with the sliding grooves 111. This sliding engagement design between the sliding grooves 111 and the slider 21 allows the storage compartment 2 to open and close smoothly along a fixed trajectory. This design ensures the stability and accuracy of the movement of the storage compartment 2, avoiding damage or inconvenience caused by friction or displacement.
[0026] Furthermore, the locking block 321 has a hemispherical protrusion structure. This hemispherical protrusion design allows the locking block 321 to better adapt to the shape of the adapter connector and provides a more uniform clamping force. This design enhances the contact area and friction between the locking block 321 and the adapter connector, improving the fixation and stability of the adapter cable.
[0027] Furthermore, a spring 33 is installed on the inner wall of the groove 311 near the outer wall of the movable block 32. The spring 33 provides elastic support for the movable block 32, allowing the locking block 321 to automatically adjust its position as needed to accommodate adapter connectors of different sizes. This design enhances the flexibility and adaptability of the adapter connector locking assembly 3, improving its ease of use and compatibility.
[0028] Furthermore, a soft pad 24 is installed on the inner wall of the storage compartment 2. The design of the soft pad 24 provides an extra protective layer for the adapter cable, reducing friction and compression during storage. This design extends the service life of the adapter cable and keeps it neat and aesthetically pleasing.
[0029] Furthermore, the width between the two locking blocks 321 is smaller than the width of the adapter connector. By designing the width between the two locking blocks 321 to be smaller than the width of the adapter connector, it is ensured that the locking blocks can firmly clamp the adapter connector, preventing it from shaking or falling off within the storage compartment 2. This design improves the fixation and stability of the adapter cable, ensuring safety and reliability in use.
[0030] In use, the thermal imager with adapter cable storage structure of this utility model first installs the storage compartment 2 on one side of the imager main unit 1. The imager main unit 1 has an inner groove 11 that slides into the storage compartment 2. This design allows the storage compartment 2 to open and close smoothly along the inner groove 11, facilitating the insertion of the adapter cable. A handle 23 is installed on the outer wall of the storage compartment 2. Users can easily open or close the storage compartment 2 by pulling the handle 23. This design improves operational convenience and user experience.
[0031] An iron sheet 112 is installed on the bottom inner wall of the inner groove 11, and a magnetic piece 22 is embedded on the outer wall of the storage compartment 2 near the iron sheet 112. When the storage compartment 2 is closed, the magnetic piece 22 and the iron sheet 112 are magnetically attracted to each other, achieving a stable connection between the storage compartment 2 and the imaging device host 1. This design not only enhances the stability of the storage compartment 2, but also allows the storage compartment 2 to automatically align and attract when closed, improving the convenience and stability of use.
[0032] The adapter connector locking assembly 3 is installed inside the storage compartment 2 and includes two symmetrically arranged fixing plates 31. Each fixing plate 31 has a groove 311 on its side wall, within which a movable block 32 is disposed. A locking block 321 is mounted on the outer wall of the movable block 32. The locking block 321 has a hemispherical protrusion structure, which better adapts to the shape of the adapter connector and provides a more uniform clamping force. The user places the adapter connector into the storage compartment 2, positioning it between the two fixing plates 31. As the adapter connector is inserted, the movable block 32 is pressurized and moves into the groove 311, while the spring 33 is compressed. When the adapter connector reaches the appropriate position, the spring 33 returns to its original shape, pushing the movable block 32 outward, causing the locking block 321 to clamp the adapter connector. Because the width between the two locking blocks 321 is less than the width of the adapter connector, the locking blocks can firmly clamp the adapter connector, preventing it from shaking or falling out within the storage compartment 2.
[0033] The user opens the storage compartment 2 by pulling handle 23 and gently pushes the movable block 32 into the groove 311, causing the locking block 321 to release the adapter connector. The user then removes the adapter connector from the storage compartment 2, completing the adapter removal process.
[0034] The inner walls on both sides of the inner groove 11 are provided with sliding grooves 111. A slider 21 is installed on the outer wall of the storage compartment 2 near the sliding groove 111. When the user pulls the handle 23 to open or close the storage compartment 2, the slider 21 slides smoothly along the sliding groove 111. This design ensures the stability and accuracy of the movement of the storage compartment and avoids damage or inconvenience caused by friction or displacement.
