Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermometers, and in particular to a foldable thermometer. Background Technology

[0002] In terms of food temperature detection, foldable thermometers can measure the core temperature of ingredients such as meat, poultry, and fish, helping users to accurately determine the doneness of the ingredients. This is especially important for dishes that require precise cooking times, such as steak, roast meat, and desserts (e.g., tempering syrups and chocolate). However, after prolonged use, the surface of foldable thermometers is very difficult to clean, especially the grooves at the folds, where bacteria can easily grow and are difficult to clean thoroughly. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a foldable thermometer that allows the tank containing the thermometer probe to be disassembled and cleaned, thereby reducing bacterial growth.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a foldable thermometer, comprising a housing, a rotating disk rotatably disposed within one end of the housing, and a probe. The rotating disk has a through hole. A fixing post inserted into the through hole is fixed on the top wall of the housing. A micro switch is fixed on the outside of the through hole. A stop block is disposed around the fixing post on the upper part of the housing. A fixing seat is fixed to the micro switch. A T-shaped block is disposed on the side of the fixing seat. The short end of the T-shaped block is disposed between the stop blocks. A placement groove assembly for placing the probe is detachably disposed on the side of the housing. The probe is mounted on the surface of the rotating disk. A temperature display screen and buttons are mounted on the upper surface of the housing.

[0005] Furthermore, the placement slot assembly is detachable from the housing.

[0006] Furthermore, the shell has a columnar opening, and a round iron piece is placed inside the opening, with the round iron piece having a bottle opening.

[0007] Furthermore, the placement slot assembly includes an upper panel, a lower panel, and a slot shell. The lower panel is located below the upper panel. The slot shell is connected to the inner side of the upper panel and the lower panel. Baffles are connected to the outer surfaces of the upper panel and the lower panel. One end of the upper panel and the lower panel is provided with a telescopic latch for engaging with the housing. The slot shell is provided with a latch block for engaging with the housing.

[0008] Furthermore, an arc-shaped notch is provided on the outer side of both the upper panel and the lower panel.

[0009] Furthermore, the telescopic locking component includes a locking post, a spring, and a spring limiting groove. A first fixing plate is provided on the upper panel and the lower panel. A second fixing plate is provided on the housing at a position opposite to the first fixing plate. A spring is provided in the spring limiting groove. The other end of the spring is connected to the locking post through a sliding plate. The other end of the locking post is located in the opening of the first fixing plate. A limiting hole that engages with the locking post is provided on the second fixing plate. A T-shaped plate is sleeved on the locking post. An installation opening is provided on both the upper panel and the lower panel. The T-shaped plate covers the installation opening. A sliding button is fixed on the T-shaped plate and is located in the installation opening.

[0010] Furthermore, a slide rail is fixed on the inner wall of the spring limiting groove, and a slide groove is formed on the sliding plate that allows it to slide along the slide rail.

[0011] Furthermore, a main control board is provided inside the housing, and a battery compartment for placing the battery is provided on the lower surface of the housing. A solar panel is provided on the side of the battery compartment. The main control board is electrically connected to the probe, temperature display screen, buttons, battery, micro switch and solar panel.

[0012] Furthermore, the housing includes an upper housing and a lower housing, with the upper housing disposed above the lower housing, and the upper housing and the lower housing being fixedly connected by screws.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by rotating the probe, the rotating disk will rotate inside the housing around the fixed column as the center point. The short end of the T-block will rotate together with the rotating disk. The T-block has a certain elasticity and can move between the blocks to adjust the position of the angle between the probe and the housing. The placement groove assembly is detached from the housing, which allows the placement groove assembly to be disassembled for cleaning, avoiding the possibility of dirt accumulation and reducing the growth of bacteria.
