Embodiment
Following description references have a preferred embodiment of the temperature measuring equipment of the particular switch made combination according to the present invention.Yet the person of ordinary skill in the field will understand, and the variation and the modification that embody inventive concept discussed in this article are possible.In addition, use particular term so that the suitable reference frame with respect to alterations to be provided in the discussion.Yet, unless have outside the certain illustrated, these terms are not desired excessively to limit.
With reference to figure 1, it has showed and has been the temperature measuring equipment 10 of background purpose in prior art discussed in this article that this device comprises a compact case 14.This shell further comprises the user interface 26 that a display 22 and is defined by a series of actuatable control knobs 30 of user that are positioned on its front surface 34.Elongate probe 18 is used in combination with device 10, and this probe comprises that one has stainless steel or other conductive member such as the terminal contained temperature-response element (not shown) of thermistor or thermopair.Probe 18 comprises a upper end or near-end handle portion 11, and shell 14 comprises the treatment circuit (not shown) in the boundary that places shell 14.
The cable 36 that is connected to the handle portion 11 of probe 18 by an end lies in elongate probe 18 on the thermometric shell 14.Probe connector (not shown) is connected to the other end of cable 18, and this connector can be connected in the respective socket (not shown) in the upper part that is provided in shell 14.
Behind the primary clustering of having described typical temperature measuring equipment, Fig. 2-5 explanation is according to the interior section of temperature measuring equipment 50 of the present invention.For this embodiment is described, all above-mentioned features of the temperature measuring equipment of Fig. 1 are incorporated in the device as herein described, comprise shell 14, display 22, user interface 26 and probe 18, the latter is presented among Fig. 2,4 and 5.
In this example, can be connected in the shielded-plate tube 58 of printed circuit board (PCB) 62 by using a series of conventional fasteners that isolated chamber 54 is assemblied in one, this circuit board comprises at least a portion of the resident treatment circuit of temperature measuring equipment 50.First switch combination is connected to the lower end that is adjacent to shielded-plate tube 58 or the circuit board 62 of bottom 59, and this switch combination comprises an actuator arm 66, and the part of this actuator arm 66 extends in the big envelope of this shielded-plate tube.This actuator arm 66 is pivotally attached to this circuit board 62 and relevant with the mechanical switch 69 of the homonymy that is connected to this circuit board equally.
In operation and process, at first,, isolated chamber 54 is installed on thermometric shell 14 interior (Fig. 1) by (Fig. 1) in the shaping cavity that isolated chamber 54 is placed shell 14 and with the hanging of the opening of chamber and shielded-plate tube 58 with reference to Fig. 2-5.As shown in Figure 3, along with the lower end of isolated chamber 54 extending and be oriented to make its bottom that extends through shielded-plate tube 58 59, cause extending to actuator arm 66 partial rotation (counter-clockwise direction under this situation) in the big envelope of shielded-plate tube, and this actuator arm makes mechanical switch 69 closures by the moving inward of actuator 71 that it produced.Therefore, first switch combination is activated.Simultaneously, as shown in Figure 5, not to temperature measuring equipment 50 power supplies, feasible light from optical transmitting set 70 reaches detector 74, causes the closure of second switch combination before removing elongate probe 18 from isolated chamber 54.When two switch combinations all are closed, so make this temperature measuring equipment 50 prepare stand-by to temperature measuring equipment 50 automatic powers.
In case finish the temperature survey program, just again elongate probe 18 be inserted in the isolated chamber 54.This insertion has stoped from the light beam of optical transmitting set 70 and has opened the second switch combination again.
Equally, elongate probe 18 is inserted the cavitys, then will be opened the second switch combination again, because actuator arm 66 will rotate back to its initial position (Fig. 3) and actuator 71 no longer is biased in the mechanical switch 69 if desire removes isolated chamber 54 (Fig. 1) and desire from shell 14.Therefore for for the automatic power of temperature measuring equipment 50, because of the closure that has or lack the second switch combination that probe 18 causes with invalid.
It should be noted that the combination of the incompatible replacement of the switches set that to use other type machinery as herein described and optical switch.For example, can adopt other suitable switch combination such as magnetic switch and/or electric switch.
Clearly, in the desired extent of the present invention that claim defined by enclosing, can make various modifications and variation.
