Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of temperature probe technology, specifically a humidifier temperature probe. Background Technology

[0002] Humidifiers are devices that increase air humidity through atomization or evaporation technology, and are mainly used to improve dry indoor environments.

[0003] Humidifiers maintain the humidity environment needed for human health by converting water into tiny water mists or vapors through technologies such as ultrasound, heating, or molecular sieve evaporation, which are then diffused into the air.

[0004] Existing home humidifiers are equipped with a liquid heating function when in use. This function requires the liquid temperature to be detected, which necessitates the use of a temperature probe.

[0005] Traditional humidifier probes are mostly connected directly to the humidifier's circuit board via soldering. This type of temperature probe is troublesome to replace when damaged, as it requires disconnecting the solder joints and resoldering the new probe to ensure conductivity. The replacement process is cumbersome and has certain limitations. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "both ends," "one end," and "the other end," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 The present invention provides an embodiment of a humidifier temperature probe, comprising an outer tube 1, the inner part of which is a hollow structure, and a detection head 2 fixedly installed on the top of the outer tube 1. The detection head 2 is internally fixedly installed with a thermistor 9, which is an NTC thermistor.

[0023] Thermistor 9 is a mature existing technology product. Thermistor 9 is a sensitive element made of metal oxide semiconductor material. Its core characteristic is that the resistance value changes non-linearly with temperature. When in use, the resistance value decreases rapidly as the temperature rises. By setting the resistance value of the thermistor 9, it can follow the temperature change. Therefore, the NTC thermistor 9 can be used for temperature detection.

[0024] Furthermore, in order to improve the thermal conductivity of the detection head 2 and thus enhance the accuracy of temperature detection, the detection head 2 is made of a high thermal conductivity metal material;

[0025] An outer end cap 3 is fixedly installed on the tail end of the outer tube 1. The outer end cap 3 is made of insulating rubber material. An outer wire 5 is fixedly installed on the end of the outer end cap 3 away from the outer tube 1. A connecting end 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wire 5. A connecting plug 7 is fixedly installed on the connecting end 6.

[0026] In this embodiment, in order to ensure normal electrical conduction, the connecting end 6, the connecting plug 7, and the external wire 5 are electrically connected.

[0027] Furthermore, in order to transmit the change value of the thermistor 9, one end of the thermistor 9 is electrically connected to an inner wire 10, and one end of the inner wire 10 passes through the outer sleeve 1 and the outer end seat 3 and is electrically connected to the outer wire 5.

[0028] In this embodiment, in order to provide heat insulation protection for the outer casing 1 and prevent external personnel from touching the outer casing 1 and causing burns, thereby improving the safety of using the anti-scalding device, the outer casing 1 is made of heat insulation material.

[0029] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate handheld assembly and disassembly, a handheld part 8 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the tail end of the outer sleeve 1. The handheld part 8 is a non-slip silicone sleeve, so that the handheld part 8 can be used to prevent slipping during installation or disassembly, thereby improving the use effect.

[0030] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the outer sleeve 1 is engraved with scale lines 4 for measuring the insertion depth. The depth to which the temperature probe of this invention is inserted into the humidifier can be easily determined by the scale lines 4, which has a good effect on the insertion depth detection.

[0031] Working principle: The humidifier temperature probe of this utility model needs to be used with a suitable humidifier structure in actual use;

[0032] When assembling the temperature probe, the connector 7 of this utility model can be inserted into the electrical conduction structure of the humidifier structure to ensure the normal power connection and use of the temperature probe of this utility model.

[0033] After the connector 7 is inserted and installed, its detection head 2 can be placed in the liquid in the heating chamber. A thermistor 9 is set inside the detection head 2. The thermistor 9 is a mature existing technology product. The thermistor 9 is a sensitive element made of metal oxide semiconductor material. Its core characteristic is that the resistance value changes non-linearly with temperature. When in use, the resistance value decreases rapidly as the temperature rises. The resistance value of the thermistor 9 can change with the temperature. Therefore, the NTC thermistor 9 can be used for temperature detection.

[0034] The change value detected by the thermistor 9 can be conducted through the internal and external conductive wires and finally transmitted to the main board of the humidifier for data processing, and then the temperature data is displayed. This ensures the normal use effect of the temperature probe of this utility model.

[0035] This invention features a plug-in connector 7 at the tail end of the temperature probe, allowing it to be inserted into a compatible humidifier structure for normal power supply and use. This plug-in design, combined with the appropriate humidifier structure, enables the temperature probe to be quickly assembled and disassembled. Compared to traditional soldered probes, this plug-in design significantly improves the efficiency of temperature probe installation and disassembly, making the process more convenient and efficient. When the temperature probe is damaged, it can be easily replaced with a similar model, enhancing overall ease of maintenance, speed, and efficiency. This makes it more convenient to use, faster to maintain, and more practical.

[0036] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
