[0026] Example 2
[0027] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the display screen of the control panel 2 is a touch screen. The control panel 2 integrates temperature data display and operation command input functions. The control panel 2 is electrically connected to the lead screw 7, motor 9, and temperature sensor body 13 for convenient control of the temperature sensor. The control panel 2 is fixed to the movable housing 1 by bolts. The hub of the movable wheel 3 is equipped with a brake structure to increase the stability of the temperature sensor when it stops. The surface of the movable wheel 3 is covered with a rubber layer, and the wheel diameter of the movable wheel 3 is greater than or equal to 80mm. The closed door 4 is connected to the movable housing 1 by a hinge. A handle is welded to the top of the closed door 4 for easy opening and maintenance of the temperature sensor. The mounting plate 5 is fixed to the movable housing 1 by bolts. The slide groove 6 is symmetrically opened at the top and bottom. The lead screw 7 adopts a trapezoidal thread structure to improve the load capacity. The surface of the lead screw 7 is chrome-plated for rust prevention. The connecting plate 8 is embedded with a self-lubricating copper sleeve to achieve low-friction transmission of the lead screw 7. The motor 9 passes through the slide groove 6 and is connected to the connecting plate 8 by bolts. The motor 9 can slide within the slide groove 6. The sleeve 10 is fixed to the connecting plate 8 by bolts. The sleeve 10 can slide within the slide groove 6. Two sleeves 10 are symmetrically installed.
