Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of temperature sensor technology, specifically to a temperature sensor that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] A temperature sensor is a sensor that can sense temperature and convert it into a usable output signal. It is the core component of temperature measuring instruments. Currently, temperature sensors typically require threaded holes for installation, necessitating pre-drilling slots on the surface of the equipment to be installed. However, the size of these pre-drilled slots varies significantly between different devices, causing inconvenience for temperature sensor installation. Often, the temperature sensor does not match the pre-drilled slot, making installation difficult. Furthermore, existing installation structures are fixedly connected to the temperature sensor. This fixed connection means that after installation, the sensor's position cannot be flexibly adjusted according to actual usage requirements or equipment operation, limiting the sensor's adaptability in different scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide an easy-to-install temperature sensor to improve the problems mentioned in the background. This invention features a novel structure. Through the axial advancement design of the conical block and the elastic fitting structure of the fitting groove, it eliminates the need for strict matching of the reserved slot size of the installed equipment. It can adapt to installation environments with different hole diameters, facilitating the installation of the temperature sensor. This improves the installation difficulties caused by mismatched slot sizes in traditional sensors and reduces the accuracy requirements for equipment preprocessing.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a temperature sensor that is easy to install, comprising a temperature sensor body, a mounting block disposed on the periphery of the temperature sensor body, a mounting component disposed on the mounting block, an external threaded sleeve fitted on the periphery of the temperature sensor body to cooperate with the mounting component, an adjustment component disposed on the upper side of the external threaded sleeve to cooperate with the temperature sensor body, a junction box fixedly connected to the top of the temperature sensor body, a top cover threadedly connected to the opening above the junction box, and a cable conduit fixedly connected to one side of the junction box.

[0005] Furthermore, the mounting assembly includes an internally threaded cylinder rotatably fitted in the middle of the mounting block, the internally threaded cylinder being threadedly fitted with an externally threaded sleeve, an operating block being fixedly connected to the circumference of the internally threaded cylinder, and two limiting retaining rings being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the internally threaded cylinder.

[0006] Furthermore, the bottom of the mounting block has an upward-facing slot, and the upper side of the mounting block has a downward-facing connecting slot that extends into the slot. The two limiting rings are respectively positioned at the upper and lower openings of the connecting slot.

[0007] Furthermore, a mounting flange is fixedly connected to the periphery of the mounting block, a sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the empty groove, a conical block is fixedly connected to one end of the external threaded sleeve located in the empty groove, and a slider that slides in cooperation with the sliding groove is fixedly connected to one side of the conical block.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the conical block has a through groove that is connected to the inner wall of the external threaded sleeve and is on the same central axis. The temperature sensor body is disposed through the through groove. The outer surface of the conical block has a plurality of mating grooves distributed along its axial direction. The mating grooves extend along the circumference of the conical block and are parallel to each other.

[0009] Furthermore, the adjusting assembly includes an annular sleeve fixedly connected to the top of the external threaded sleeve, the annular sleeve having an annular groove on its circumference, and an adjusting ring rotatably fitted onto the inner wall of the annular groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner wall of the annular sleeve is provided with a through hole extending outward into the annular groove.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. This easy-to-install temperature sensor, through the axial advancement design of the conical block and the elastic fitting structure of the fitting groove, does not require strict matching with the reserved slot size of the equipment to be installed.

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a temperature sensor that is easy to install, including a temperature sensor body 1, a mounting block 2 is provided on the periphery of the temperature sensor body 1, a mounting component 3 is provided on the mounting block 2, an external threaded sleeve 4 that cooperates with the mounting component 3 is sleeved on the periphery of the temperature sensor body 1, an adjustment component 5 that cooperates with the temperature sensor body 1 is provided on the upper side of the external threaded sleeve 4, a junction box 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the temperature sensor body 1, a top cover 7 is threadedly connected to the opening at the top of the junction box 6, and a cable conduit 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the junction box 6.

[0024] In this embodiment, the mounting assembly 3 includes an internally threaded cylinder 301 rotatably fitted in the middle of the mounting block 2. The internally threaded cylinder 301 is threadedly fitted with an externally threaded sleeve 4. An operating block 302 is fixedly connected to the periphery of the internally threaded cylinder 301. Two limiting retaining rings 303 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the internally threaded cylinder 301. A slot 306 is formed upward at the bottom of the mounting block 2. A connecting groove 304 is formed downward through the upper side of the mounting block 2, extending into the slot 306. The two limiting retaining rings 303 are respectively positioned at the upper and lower openings of the connecting groove 304. A mounting flange 305 is fixedly connected to the periphery of the mounting block 2. The inner wall of the slot 306 is provided with a sliding groove 308. One end of the external threaded sleeve 4 located in the slot 306 is fixedly connected to a conical block 307. A slider 309 that slides in cooperation with the sliding groove 308 is fixedly connected to one side of the conical block 307. A through groove 310 is provided at the bottom of the conical block 307, which is connected to the inner wall of the external threaded sleeve 4 and is located on the same central axis as the conical block 4. The temperature sensor body 1 is disposed through the through groove 310. A plurality of mating grooves 311 are provided on the outer surface of the conical block 307, which are distributed along its axial direction. The mating grooves 311 extend along the circumference of the conical block 307 and are parallel to each other.

[0025] Specifically, the sensor is initially positioned in the reserved slot of the equipment to be installed by the mounting flange 305 of the mounting block 2. The operation block 302 is rotated to drive the internal threaded cylinder 301 to rotate. Since the internal threaded cylinder 301 is threadedly engaged with the external threaded sleeve 4, and the external threaded sleeve 4 is slidingly limited by the slider 309 of the tapered block 307 and the sliding groove 308 of the empty slot 306 of the mounting block, the rotational motion is converted into the axial movement of the external threaded sleeve 4, so that the tapered block 307 is pushed into the reserved slot of the equipment. The mating groove 311 on the outer surface of the tapered block 307 can form an elastic fit with the inner wall of the slot with different diameters. By adjusting the pushing depth to adapt to the reserved slot of different sizes, a stable installation is achieved.

[0026] In this embodiment, the adjusting component 5 includes an annular sleeve 501 fixedly connected to the top of the external threaded sleeve 4. An annular groove 502 is formed on the circumference of the annular sleeve 501. An adjusting ring 503 is rotatably fitted onto the inner wall of the annular groove 502. A through hole 504 extends outward from the inner wall of the annular sleeve 501 into the annular groove 502. An abutment post 505 is slidably fitted onto the inner wall of the through hole 504. One end of the abutment post 505 near the periphery of the temperature sensor body 1 is fixedly connected to... The friction head 506 that cooperates with it has a connecting post 507 fixedly connected to the other end of the abutment post 505. The inner wall of the adjusting ring 503 is provided with two smoothly transitioned grooves 508. The inner walls of the adjusting ring 503 and the grooves 508 are provided with a limiting groove 509 that is connected end to end. The cross section of the limiting groove 509 is convex, and its narrower part extends to the inner diameter of the adjusting ring 503. The connecting post 507 of the abutment post 505 is slidably engaged with the limiting groove 509.

[0027] Specifically, when the adjusting ring 503 is rotated, the convex limiting groove 509 on its inner wall causes the connecting post 507 to slide, causing the abutment post 505 to move axially along the through hole 504. When the connecting post 507 is in the wide diameter section of the limiting groove 509, the friction head 506 of the abutment post 505 separates from the temperature sensor body 1, and the sensor body can move freely axially along the through groove 310 to adjust the detection depth; when the connecting post 507 slides into the narrow diameter section of the limiting groove 509, the friction head 506 presses tightly against the sensor body 1, locking the position through friction.

[0028] When using the device, firstly, the entire device is initially fixed to the reserved slot of the equipment to be installed using the mounting flange 305 of the mounting block 2, completing the basic positioning. Then, rotating the operating block 302 drives the internal threaded cylinder 301 to rotate. Since the internal threaded cylinder 301 and the external threaded sleeve 4 form a threaded fit, and the tapered block 307 at the bottom of the external threaded sleeve 4 forms a sliding limit with the sliding groove 308 in the empty slot 306 of the mounting block 2 through the slider 309, the rotation of the internal threaded cylinder 301 will be converted into the axial movement of the external threaded sleeve 4, pushing the tapered block 307 to gradually extend into the reserved slot of the equipment. The circumferential fitting grooves 311 distributed axially on the outer surface of the tapered block 307 can adaptively fit the inner wall according to the actual diameter of the slot. By adjusting the insertion depth, a tight fit with slots of different sizes can be achieved, completing the stable installation. If temperature adjustment is required... When the adjusting ring 503 rotates around the annular sleeve 501 via the annular groove 502, the convex limiting groove 509 on its inner wall will drive the connecting post 507 to slide synchronously, causing the abutment post 505 to move axially along the through hole 504. When the connecting post 507 is in the wide diameter section of the limiting groove 509, the friction head 506 at the end of the abutment post 505 separates from the temperature sensor body 1. At this time, the sensor body can move freely axially along the through groove 310 of the conical block 307 to flexibly adjust the detection depth. After the position is determined, the adjusting ring 503 continues to rotate, causing the connecting post 507 to slide into the narrow diameter section of the limiting groove 509. At this time, the friction head 506 is pressed tightly against the outer wall of the sensor body 1, locking the current position through friction. The smooth groove 508 on the inner wall of the adjusting ring 503 ensures a smooth transition during the rotation process.

It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model.

[0030] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
