One end of the second fixing part 6 is slidably disposed in the first fixing part 5, and the temperature measuring end 4 is disposed on the other end of the second fixing part 6. A temperature sensor is disposed in the temperature measuring end 4.

[0041] Furthermore, a first channel is formed within the first fixing part 5, and a second channel is formed within the second fixing part 6. The end of the first fixing part 5 is disposed within the second channel. The first channel and the second channel are connected and form a wiring channel for electrical connection between the temperature measuring end 4 and the digital display module 2. Through this structural design, the temperature sensor of the temperature measuring end 4 can be electrically connected to the circuit board inside the housing 1 through the wiring channel, thereby realizing the temperature measuring function.

[0042] Furthermore, the first fixing part 5 is provided with a mounting connection part 7, and the outer shell 1 is provided with a connecting groove. The mounting connection part 7 and the connecting groove are adapted to each other. The mounting connection part 7 is made of plastic and is integrally connected with the first fixing part 5. The first channel is provided through the mounting connection part 7 and communicates with the inside of the outer shell 1. The mounting connection part 7 has an arc-shaped structure that is adapted to the circumferential shape of the outer shell 1. The mounting connection part 7 is connected to the connecting groove of the outer shell 1 and is fixed by adhesive, thereby realizing the fixed connection between the first fixing part 5 and the outer shell 1, and enhancing the connection firmness of the contact parts on the outer shell 1.

[0043] Furthermore, the first fixing part 5 has several limiting holes 51; the locking mechanism includes: a limiting buckle 61, which is disposed on the second fixing part 6 for engaging with the limiting holes 51; and two control components 8, which are retractably mounted on the first fixing part 5 for pushing the limiting buckle 61 away from the limiting holes 51.

The limiting holes 51 are spaced apart along the axial direction, and the number can be two. This structural design allows the operator to push the locking protrusion of the limiting buckle 61 out of the limiting hole 51 by operating the control component 8. The limiting buckle 61 is then pressed and positioned between the first fixing part 5 and the second fixing part 6. The operator moves the second fixing part 6 within the first fixing part 5, causing the limiting buckle 61 of the second fixing part 6 to move into the other limiting hole 51 to complete the locking. This allows for the adjustment of the movement of the second fixing part 6, thereby adjusting the length of the contact component of the temperature measuring module 3. This prevents the contact component from being too long, which could lead to deep insertion into the anus, causing discomfort and affecting user comfort.

[0044] Example 2:
