Temperature Probe Storage Base With Rear Probe Chamber Layout
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing temperature probe storage bases have suboptimal arrangements between the display screen and probe accommodating chamber, leading to increased size and compromised portability and ease of handling.
Innovation Solution
The probe accommodating chamber is positioned perpendicular to the display screen, utilizing space behind the display module to reduce the base's width, and incorporating a side opening slot for observation and a charging module for enhanced portability and ergonomics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the display screen and probe accommodating chamber are arranged in a conventional layout, then the base can accommodate all necessary components, but the base width increases compromising portability and ease of handling
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dimensional reconfiguration by arranging the probe accommodating chamber in the thickness direction of the base body rather than side-by-side with the display screen. This vertical stacking approach transforms the spatial relationship from horizontal to vertical arrangement, reducing the base width while maintaining all necessary functional components.
Solution Approach 2:
The probe accommodating chamber is positioned within the thickness dimension of the base body, effectively nesting the storage function within the existing structural envelope. This allows the chamber to utilize the depth of the base rather than extending the width, creating a compact integrated structure.
2Volume of moving object
If the probe accommodating chamber is positioned perpendicular to the display screen utilizing space behind the display module, then the base width is reduced improving portability, but the arrangement becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The base body is segmented into distinct functional zones: the display module occupying the front surface area and the probe accommodating chamber occupying the thickness dimension. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each component's position and size, simplifying the overall design despite the unconventional arrangement.
Solution Approach 2:
By transitioning from a two-dimensional side-by-side layout to a three-dimensional stacked arrangement, the patent resolves spatial conflicts without increasing complexity. The perpendicular positioning of the probe chamber relative to the display screen creates an intuitive hierarchical structure that is both compact and manufacturable.

AI summary
A temperature probe assembly and a temperature probe storage base, a probe accommodating chamber of the base is arranged on the side opposite to the screen of the display surface, in a direction perpendicular to the screen, or the probe accommodating chamber and the screen are arranged along the thickness direction of the base body. By utilizing the space on the back side of the display module to configure the probe accommodating chamber, the overall size of the base in the direction parallel to the screen is reduced, resulting in a structure that is easier to hold and enhancing the portability of the base.
