AI Technical Summary
Existing thermometers require insertion into tanks or vessels to measure internal temperatures, which can be inconvenient and potentially hazardous, especially in environments with reactive mixtures.
A thermometer is attached to a tank wall with a heat insulating material covering the temperature sensor, allowing external measurement of internal temperatures without insertion, using methods like double-sided tape, magnets, or band-like devices, and data output via wire or radio waves.
Enables safe and convenient measurement of internal temperatures by avoiding direct insertion, suitable for various environments including furnaces, agricultural tunnels, greenhouses, and buildings, with options for simultaneous display of both internal and external temperatures.
Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a thermometer that is attached to a wall surface and displays the temperature on the back side. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0002] To provide a thermometer that can be attached to the wall of a tank and that displays the internal temperature.
[0003] The temperature sensor is attached to the wall of the tank, and a heat insulating material is attached to cover it.
[0004] The temperature can be measured from the outside. There is no need to insert a thermometer into the internal reaction mixture.
[0005] A temperature detector and insulating material covering it are attached to the tank wall to measure the internal temperature.
[0006] The present invention can be applied to furnaces for gases and solids.
[0007] It appears that measurements are being taken by attaching a temperature sensor and a heat insulating sheet to the beaker separately.
[0008] Methods for attaching it to the wall include double-sided tape, a removable adhesive sheet, a magnet, etc. It is also possible to attach it by using a band-like device.
[0009] The size of the insulation material should be sufficient, taking into account the thickness of the wall, etc. If insulation material is already in place to keep the wall warm, it is acceptable to use insulation material that is significantly larger in width and thickness, although this will result in a protrusion.
[0010] This also applies to alcohol sticks or mercury thermometers with an insulating sheet attached to the liquid reservoir.
[0011] The measured temperature data can be output by drilling a small hole in the insulation and passing a wire perpendicular to the wall surface, by passing a wire through the gap between the insulation and the wall surface, or by outputting the data via radio waves from the temperature detection unit.
[0012] It is also possible to simultaneously display both the inside and outside temperatures in agricultural tunnels, greenhouses, etc.
[0013] In a normal building, measurements can be taken if there is at least one floor, such as a door or small window.
[0014] It can also be used for pots, etc.
Claims
1. A device that attaches a temperature detector and insulating material covering it to the wall of a liquid tank, allowing the internal temperature to be measured.
2. A device that attaches a temperature detector and insulating material covering it to the outer surface of a gas tank or furnace, allowing the internal temperature to be measured.
3. This device is used in agricultural tunnels and greenhouses to measure the temperature on the other side of the plastic.
