To provide a temperature measuring device that can identify each temperature measuring device when a plurality of temperature measuring devices are used simultaneously for cooking or the like. [Solution] The temperature measuring device comprises a temperature measuring device main body 1, a cable 2 connected to the main body, a gripping part 3 connected to the cable, and a probe 4 connected to the opposite side of the gripping part to the side connected to the cable, and the outer periphery of the gripping part is colored by an oxidation coloring process. By controlling the oxidation state of the metals that make up stainless steel, it is possible to color it in various colors, making it possible to identify individual temperature measuring devices.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a temperature measuring device, and more particularly to a temperature measuring device having a colored portion for identification according to its use. [Background technology]

[0002] Thermometers are widely used in a variety of fields, and there are many different types on the market depending on the object being measured. For example, to measure the temperature of a liquid, a resistance thermometer method that uses the change in electrical resistance due to temperature changes, or a bimetal method that combines two metal plates with different thermal expansion coefficients, is used, and non-contact thermometers such as clinical thermometers are used that utilize the phenomenon that all objects emit infrared rays according to their temperature.

[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a cooking thermometer specialized for use in cooking, which is used to measure the temperature of ingredients, and has an insertion part (2) that is pierced into the ingredients, and a temperature measuring part (3) that measures the temperature of the ingredients based on heat transfer from the insertion part, and the insertion part has a thin plate shape with one direction perpendicular to the insertion direction in which the ingredients are pierced as the width direction, and a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction and the width direction as the thickness direction, with the thickness direction being smaller than the width direction, and the cooking thermometer is said to not spoil the appearance of the ingredients even when pierced into the ingredients.

[0004] However, in cooking, several pots or the like may be used at the same time to cook completely different ingredients individually and in parallel, and it may be convenient to use individually identified thermometers. However, at present, no thermometers equipped with an identification means, including the cooking thermometers mentioned above, have been disclosed. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3249744 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide an identification means for each temperature measuring device in order to correspond to the manner of use of the temperature measuring device. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] It is known that a strong colored coating can be obtained by oxidizing the surface of stainless steel, and that various colors can be obtained by controlling the oxidation state. The inventor of the present invention has made this invention as a result of extensive research into using such coloring means to obtain a temperature measuring device with distinguishable colors.

[0008] In order to solve the above problem, one aspect of the present invention provides a temperature measuring device comprising a temperature measuring device main body, a cable connected to the main body, a gripping portion connected to the cable, and a probe connected to the side of the gripping portion opposite to the side to which the cable is connected, wherein the gripping portion is colored.

[0009] In addition, in a temperature measuring device according to one aspect of the present invention, the outer periphery of the gripping portion is made of stainless steel and is colored by an oxidation coloring process. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] Stainless steel is an alloy of iron and chromium, and by oxidizing these metals, it is possible to color it without using paint or other methods. By controlling the oxidation state, it is possible to create colors such as green, red, blue, black, yellow, and intermediate colors. Moreover, the oxidation coloring film has a metallic luster and is highly resistant to weather and corrosion. Since the temperature measuring device of this invention is mainly used for cooking, if it is to be identified by color, paint should be avoided as it may peel off. The oxidation color of stainless steel, which is extremely rust-resistant, is suitable for such applications.

[0011] The temperature measuring device according to the present invention can be made distinctive by using stainless steel for the grip and applying the above-mentioned oxidation coloring treatment. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0012] [Figure 1] 1 is a diagram of a temperature measuring device according to an embodiment of the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 shows a temperature measuring device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is the temperature measuring device body, 2 is a cable, 3 is a grip, 4 is a temperature detection unit, 5 is a temperature display unit, 6 is a button for maintaining the displayed temperature, 7 is a button for switching between the maximum and minimum temperature displays, 8 is a reset button, and 9 is a power ON / OFF button.

[0014] The temperature measuring device shown here can use the resistance thermometer method or the bimetal method as a measurement method, but is not limited to these. The part exposed to the outside of the grip is made of stainless steel and is colored by the oxidation coloring treatment described above, which can be used to distinguish between the devices when using multiple devices at the same time.

[0015] As described above, the present invention provides a temperature measuring device that can be easily identified. The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and any design changes that can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention, including various modifications and alterations that would be conceivable to a person skilled in the art, are of course included in the present invention.
