DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0018] In the following, a specific embodiment is used to describe the main idea of ​​the present invention. It should be noted that the ratios of various different parts in the embodiment are appropriate for the purpose of description, and are not based on the actual ratios of the parts.

[0019] It should also be explained that the heat-related terms used in the explanation of this invention, such as "thermal energy," "thermal insulating material," and "thermal conductivity," are merely explanations of the physics behind how the temperature of an object changes due to the conduction of thermal energy, and are in no way intended to limit the application of this invention to high temperature conditions, and it should be made clear that the environmental conditions of this invention can be used in both high and low temperatures.

[0020] 1 to 7, the temperature barrier module 100 of a wireless identification component in the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a valve 200, which includes a valve body structure 210 and a switch structure 220. The temperature barrier module 100 of a wireless identification component includes a body 10 and a wireless identification component 20. The valve body structure 210 is a ball-and-bubble structure.

[0021] 1, in one embodiment, the valve 200 includes a sensor component 230. The sensor component 230 is disposed in the valve body structure 210 and coupled with the wireless identification component 20, and the sensor component 230 senses the fluid movement in the valve body structure 210 and outputs the fluid data to the wireless identification component 20, so that the user can scan the wireless identification component 20 to obtain the fluid data, and obtain the internal fluid data (such as the flow velocity, flow rate, temperature, etc.) in the valve body structure 210.

[0022] The main body 10 includes a connecting part 11 and an installation part 12 that forms a narrow storage angle θ with the connecting part 11. The connecting part 11 is connected to one of the valve body structure 210 and the switch structure 220. The narrow storage angle θ is 80 to 120 degrees. The installation part 12 extends according to the edge shape of the valve body structure 210 or the switch structure 220, and the installation part 12 is not in contact with the valve body structure 210 or the switch structure 220. In this way, the installation part 12 is used to install the wireless identification component 20, and the installation part 12 is not in direct contact with the valve 200. As a result, the temperature of the installation part 12 is not directly affected by the valve 200, so that the rapid change in temperature of the installation part 12 can be avoided, and the damage caused by the temperature change of the wireless identification component 20 can be prevented, and the purpose of increasing the service life of the wireless identification component 20 can be achieved.

[0023] As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the body 10 of the present invention is approximately L-shaped, and the narrow angle θ is preferably 90 degrees. Because the edge shape of the valve body structure 210 or the switch structure 220 is usually a right angle, by designing the narrow angle θ to 90 degrees, the body 10 can be more adapted to the edge shape of the valve body structure 210 or the switch structure 220, so that the body 10 can be mounted on the valve 200 without being affected by the installation volume of the valve 200. The material of the body 10 is a thermal insulating material (which is difficult to conduct thermal energy, so that the temperature of the article is not easily changed). This can further prevent the temperature of the wireless identification component 20 from being affected by the fluid temperature of the valve 200 and causing a significant change.

[0024] 2 to 4, the connecting part 11 of the present invention has a connecting hole 111, which allows the user to mount the main body 10 on the valve 200 through a screw-fitting structure. Both the connecting part 11 and the mounting part 12 are flat, so that the present invention can be mounted on the valve 200 regardless of the volume of the valve 200 to be mounted.

[0025] The wireless identification component 20 is provided at one end of the installation part 12 on the side remote from the connecting part 11. Moreover, a temperature barrier distance D is provided between the wireless identification component 20 and the valve body structure 210 or the switch structure 220. Moreover, the temperature barrier distance D is 1 mm to 20 mm, and the transfer of thermal energy can be effectively blocked by air having a low thermal conductivity (0.026 W / m K), so that the wireless identification component 20 is not damaged due to a sudden change in temperature, and the purpose of increasing the service life of the wireless identification component 20 is achieved.

[0026] 1, the wireless identification component 20 of the present invention includes a storage unit 21 and an RF connection unit 22. The storage unit 21 stores the specification data of the valve 200 (such as the target pressure level, size, material, etc. of the valve 200) and the fluid data output by the sensor component 230. The RF connection unit 22 allows the user to scan and read the data stored in the storage unit 21. The wireless identification component 20 can be an RFID tag, or a chip component that receives and stores data, and can transmit wirelessly and receive antennas.

[0027] As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the valve 200a in the first embodiment of the present invention includes a valve body structure 210a and a switch structure 220a, and the temperature barrier module 100 of the wireless identification component is installed on the valve body structure 210a. The valve body structure 210a includes a base 211a and a side cover 212a installed on one side of the base 211a. The side cover 212a includes a connecting part 2121a and a positioning part 2122a adjacent to the base 211a. The connecting part 2121a is inserted into the connecting part 11 and the positioning part 2122a to fix the connecting part 11 and the side cover 212a on the base 211a. Thus, the main body 10 can be directly installed on the valve body structure 210a by the connecting part 2121a originally installed on the valve body structure 210a, which saves the cost of purchasing additional parts and improves the convenience of the present invention.

[0028] 5 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. Different from the first embodiment, the structure of the valve 200b is not necessarily the same as that of the valve 200a. The valve 200b includes a valve body structure 210b and a switch structure 220b, and the temperature barrier module 100 of the wireless identification component is mounted on the valve body structure 210b. The valve body structure 210b includes a main valve body 211b, a sub valve body 212b, and a connecting part 213b. The main valve body 211b includes a first connecting part 2111b, and the sub valve body 212b includes a second connecting part 2121b. The connecting part 213b fits the connecting part 11, the first connecting part 2111b, and the second connecting part 2121b to fix the connecting part 11, the first connecting part 2111b, and the second connecting part 2121b.

[0029] FIG. 6 shows the third embodiment of the present invention. Different from the first embodiment, the structure of the valve 200c is not necessarily the same as that of the valve 200a. The valve 200c includes a valve body structure 210c and a switch structure 220c, and the temperature barrier module 100 of the wireless identification component is mounted on the valve body structure 210c. The valve body structure 210c includes a base 211c and a number of side covers 212c. The base 211c has a multi-passage 2111c, and the multiple side covers 212c are mounted on the side wall of the base 211c corresponding to the outlets of the multi-passage 2111c. Each side cover 212c includes a connecting part 2121c and a positioning part 2122c adjacent to the base 211c. The connecting part 2121c is fitted into the connecting part 11 and the positioning part 2122c to fix the connecting part 11 and each side cover 212c on the base 211c.

[0030] FIG. 7 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Different from the first embodiment, the structure of the valve 200d is not necessarily the same as that of the valve 200a. The valve 200d includes a valve body structure 210d and a switch structure 220d, and the temperature barrier module 100 of the wireless identification component is mounted on the switch structure 220d. A pivot 211d is provided on the upper part of the valve body structure 210d. The switch structure 220d includes a base 221d and a handle 222d, and the pivot 211d is inserted into the base 221d and the handle 222d is pivoted thereon. The base 221d includes a coupling part 2211d and a coupling hole 2212d, and the coupling part 2211d is inserted into the coupling hole 2212d to fix the coupling part 11 on the base 221d.

[0031] As a result of the above, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0032] (1) The present invention uses a body 10 having a narrow storage angle θ, and provides a temperature barrier distance D between the wireless identification component 20 installed on the body 10 and the valve 200. This effectively blocks the transfer of thermal energy by air with low thermal conductivity, thereby preventing damage to the wireless identification component 20 due to a sudden change in temperature and achieving the purpose of improving the service life of the wireless identification component 20.

[0033] (2) The main body 10 of the present invention can be directly installed on the valve body structure 210 by using the connecting parts originally installed on the valve body structure 210, which saves the cost of purchasing additional parts and improves the convenience of the present invention.

[0034] The body 10 of the present invention is designed with a narrow storage angle θ so that the body 10 can conform to the edge shape of the valve body structure 210 or the switch structure 220, so that the present invention can be mounted on the valve 200 without being affected by the volume in which the valve 200 is installed.

[0035] The body 10 of the present invention can be directly connected to the connecting parts originally provided on the valve body structure 210, so that the body 10 can be applied to various types of valves 200. Therefore, the present invention has the advantage of being highly adaptable.

[0036] The RFID component 20 of the present invention can not only store the specification data of the valve 200, but also receive and store the fluid data sensed by the sensor component 230. Therefore, the user can obtain more fluid data in the valve 200 by scanning the RFID component 20, which is useful for the user to monitor and control the fluid in real time. As described above, the present invention has a high degree of practicality.

[0037] Although the present invention has been described in terms of the best embodiment, those skilled in the art can make various modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
