Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of digital display technology, specifically relating to digital displays with improved aesthetics. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, digital display meters used for HVAC repair have a noticeable, visible gap between the meter assembly and the valve assembly (see CN309357344S), which affects the product's appearance.
[0003] After analysis and research, the applicant found the following reasons for the gap: 1. The outer shell of the digital display is usually divided into two halves, front and back, and is processed by injection molding. The draft angle makes the middle dimension of the two halves larger than the outer dimension. The side of the meter assembly and the valve assembly adjacent to each other is usually flat, resulting in a gap; 2. Since the assembly between the two halves and the sensor is after the assembly between the sensor and the valve assembly, a machining and assembly error needs to be allowed. This results in the position of the sensor relative to the outer shell being within a certain range, causing the gap; 3. During assembly, the sensor is first tightened to the valve assembly, and then the two halves are fixed to the sensor. Since the sensor needs to be fixed by the two halves, and the force-bearing part of the sensor is cuboid, the rotation angle of the sensor is limited (it can only rotate a specific angle, such as 90°, each time). This makes it difficult for the sensor to fit completely with the valve assembly, increasing the gap.
[0004] In summary, due to the existence of processing technology, assembly structure, and processing and assembly errors, the gap between the gauge assembly and the valve assembly is difficult to eliminate. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention addresses the drawback of existing digital display meters where a noticeable gap exists between the meter body assembly and the valve body assembly. It provides a digital display meter with improved aesthetics by adding a variable gap between the two assemblies. This gap accommodates errors and fills the gap, visually eliminating the gap and enhancing the meter's appearance. Furthermore, it reduces the gap and ensures a tight seal.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a digital display with improved aesthetics, wherein the digital display with improved aesthetics includes:
[0007] The watch body assembly includes a watch case and a sensor in the watch case. The sensor includes a height limiting part and an external thread part. The watch case forms a height limiting groove that is adapted to the height limiting part.
[0008] The valve body assembly includes a valve seat, which has a valve passage and a threaded hole. The external thread of the sensor is screwed into the threaded hole of the valve seat, thus fixing the valve body assembly and the gauge assembly together.
[0009] A spacer plate, located between the valve seat and the valve housing, is elastic and has a through hole for the external thread to pass through.
[0010] This invention improves the aesthetics of a digital display meter by placing an elastic gap between the valve seat and the meter housing. By adapting to varying gap sizes between the meter body assembly and the valve body assembly through deformation, the gap is visually eliminated, thus enhancing the meter's appearance. While a gap still exists between the meter body assembly and the valve body assembly, it is filled by the gap, effectively eliminating it visually.
[0011] As an improvement, the spacer is made of a flexible, waterproof material.
[0012] As an improvement, the gap plate is glued to the valve seat with adhesive on one side.
[0013] As an improvement, the lateral length of the gap is slightly smaller than the lateral length of the upper surface of the valve seat; and / or,
[0014] The front-to-back width of the gap is 1 / 2 to 5 / 6 of the front-to-back width of the valve seat.
[0015] As an improvement, the case includes a front half and a rear half, which clamp the sensor.
[0016] As an improvement, the front half and the rear half together form a sealing groove, and an annular seal is provided in the sealing groove. The front half and the rear half compress the annular seal.
[0017] As an improvement, a sealing groove is formed above the threaded hole of the valve seat, and a sealing ring is provided in the sealing groove.
[0018] As an improvement, a support groove is provided above the sealing groove, and an abutment part is formed above the external thread of the sensor, which abuts against the bottom surface of the support groove.
[0019] As an improvement, the thickness of the spacer is 0.5-2mm.
[0020] As an improvement, the height limiting part is cylindrical; a force-bearing plane is provided on the height limiting part.
[0021] As an improvement, two threaded holes are opened on the valve seat, one on the left and one on the right. The instrument assembly includes two sensors that detect different parameters, and two through holes are opened on the gap plate.
[0022] As an improvement, the valve body assembly may also include two valves mounted on the valve seat, or the valve body assembly may also include four valves mounted on the valve seat.
[0023] The beneficial effect of this utility model on improving the aesthetics of digital displays is that by setting an elastic gap between the valve seat and the meter housing, the deformation of the elastic gap adapts to different sizes of gaps between the meter body assembly and the valve body assembly, visually eliminating the gap between the meter body assembly and the valve body assembly, thus improving the aesthetics of the digital displays.

[0039] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are explained and described below. However, the following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of this utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in the implementation methods without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0040] See Figures 1 to 9 The present invention provides an aesthetically pleasing digital display, comprising:
[0041] The watch body assembly includes a watch case and a sensor in the watch case. The sensor includes a height limiting part and an external thread part. The watch case forms a height limiting groove that is adapted to the height limiting part.
[0042] The valve body assembly includes a valve seat, which has a valve passage and a threaded hole. The external thread of the sensor is screwed into the threaded hole of the valve seat, thus fixing the valve body assembly and the gauge assembly together.
[0043] A spacer plate, located between the valve seat and the valve housing, is elastic and has a through hole for the external thread to pass through.
[0044] This invention improves the aesthetics of a digital display meter by placing an elastic gap between the valve seat and the meter housing. By adapting to varying gap sizes between the meter body assembly and the valve body assembly through deformation, the gap is visually eliminated, thus enhancing the meter's appearance. While a gap still exists between the meter body assembly and the valve body assembly, it is filled by the gap, effectively eliminating it visually.
[0045] Example 1
[0046] See Figures 1 to 8 The first embodiment of this utility model provides an aesthetically pleasing digital display, which includes:
[0047] The watch body assembly 01 includes a watch case 1 and a sensor 2 in the watch case 1. The sensor 2 includes a height limiting part 21 and an external thread part 22. The watch case 1 forms a height limiting groove 13 that is adapted to the height limiting part 21.
[0048] The valve body assembly 02 includes a valve seat 3, which has a valve passage and a threaded hole 31. The external thread 22 of the sensor 2 is screwed into the threaded hole 31 of the valve seat 3, thus fixing the valve body assembly 02 and the gauge assembly 01 together.
[0049] The gap 03 is located between the valve seat 3 and the housing 1 and is elastic, with a through hole for the external thread 22 to pass through.
[0050] In this embodiment, the spacer 03 is made of an elastic waterproof material. The spacer 03 plays a certain sealing role, sealing the spacer between the housing 1 and the valve seat 3.
[0051] In this embodiment, the spacer 03 is glued to the valve seat 3 with adhesive on one side for easy assembly.
[0052] In this embodiment, the left-right length of the gap 03 is slightly less than the left-right length of the upper surface of the valve seat 3. During use, the user typically observes from the front and back, thus being more sensitive to the left-right length. Since the left-right length of the gap 03 is slightly less than the left-right length of the upper surface of the valve seat 3, the gap 03 will not protrude outwards from the valve seat 3 in the left-right direction and will essentially completely fill the gap between the housing 1 and the valve seat 3.
[0053] In this embodiment, the front-to-back width of the gap 03 is 1 / 2 to 5 / 6 of the front-to-back width of the valve seat 3.
[0054] In this embodiment, the thickness of the spacer 03 is 0.5-2mm.
[0055] In this embodiment, a sealing groove 32 is formed above the threaded hole 31 of the valve seat 3, and a sealing ring 4 is provided in the sealing groove 32 to seal the sensor 2 and the valve seat 3. The depth of the sealing groove 32 is less than the diameter of the sealing ring 4. The sealing ring 4 is an O-ring. A first mounting groove 24 is formed on the sensor 2, and the sealing ring 4 is located in the first mounting groove 24 to facilitate the assembly between the sensor 2 and the valve seat 3. The sealing ring 4 is compressed vertically (…). Figure 3 (China direction).
[0056] In this embodiment, a support groove 33 is provided above the sealing groove 32, and an abutment part 23 is formed above the external thread part 22 of the sensor 2, which abuts against the bottom surface of the support groove 33.
[0057] In this embodiment, the watch case 1 includes a front half-case 11 and a rear half-case 12, which clamp the sensor 2.
[0058] In this embodiment, the front half-shell 11 and the rear half-shell 12 together form a sealing groove, in which an annular seal 5 is provided. The front half-shell 11 and the rear half-shell 12 compress the annular seal 5, thereby sealing the sensor 2 with the front half-shell 11 and the rear half-shell 12. A second mounting groove 25 is formed on the sensor 2, and the annular seal 5 is located in the second mounting groove 25. The second mounting groove 25 is located between the height limiting part 21 and the abutment part 23. The annular seal 5 is an O-ring. The annular seal 5 is compressed from both sides (…). Figure 3 The center direction is also the thickness direction of the digital display.
[0059] In this embodiment, the valve seat 3 has two threaded holes 31 distributed on the left and right, the instrument assembly 01 includes two sensors 2 that detect different parameters, and the gap plate 03 has two through holes.
[0060] In this embodiment, the valve body assembly 02 also includes two valves disposed on the valve seat 3.
[0061] In this embodiment, the height limiting part 21 is cylindrical and the height limiting groove 13 has a circular cross-section, so that the sensor can be at any angle, ensuring that the sensor is screwed tightly onto the valve seat 3.
[0062] In this embodiment, a force-bearing plane is provided on the height limiting part 21 to facilitate operation.
[0063] In this embodiment, the front half shell 11 and the rear half shell 12 are processed by injection molding.
[0064] In this embodiment, during the assembly process, the valve body assembly 02 is assembled in advance, the gap plate 03 is glued to the valve seat 3, and the other parts of the instrument body assembly 01 except for the sensor 2 are installed on the front half shell 11 and the rear half shell 12 respectively. Then, the sensor 2 is installed on the valve seat 3, and finally, the height limiting groove 13 is aligned with the height limiting part 21 of the sensor 2, and the front half shell 11 and the rear half shell 12 are tightened with screws.
[0065] The beneficial effects of the improved aesthetics of the digital display meter in Embodiment 1 of this utility model are as follows: By setting an elastic gap 03 between the valve seat 3 and the meter housing 1, the deformation of the elastic gap 03 adapts to different sizes of gaps between the meter body assembly 01 and the valve body assembly 02, visually eliminating the gap between the meter body assembly 01 and the valve body assembly 02, thus improving the aesthetics of the digital display meter; the height limiting part 21 of the sensor 2 is cylindrical, and the sensor 2 can be tightened with the valve seat 3 at any angle without a specific angle, ensuring that the sensor 2 and the valve seat 3 abut against each other vertically, reducing the gap between the meter housing 1 and the valve seat 3; the gap 03 is made of elastic waterproof material, and the gap 03 plays a certain sealing role, sealing the gap between the meter housing 1 and the valve seat 3; the gap 03 combined with the sealing ring 4 achieves a double seal between the sensor 2 and the valve seat 3; the gap 03 combined with the annular seal 5 achieves a double seal between the sensor 2, the front half-shell 11, and the rear half-shell 12.
[0066] Example 2
[0067] See Figure 9In this embodiment, the valve body assembly 02 also includes four valves mounted on the valve seat 3. The valve passages in the valve seat 3 are more complex. By making the distance between the sensor 2 mounting holes (threaded holes 31) of different valve body assemblies 02 equal, and using valve seats 3 of the same size, the same main body can be compatible with different valve body assemblies 02, reducing product costs. The digital displays of Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 have roughly the same appearance design elements, enabling product family design and improving product recognition.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model includes, but is not limited to, the content described in the above specific embodiments. Any modifications that do not depart from the functional and structural principles of this utility model will be included within the scope of the claims.
