BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for measuring temperature or humidity, and more particularly, to an apparatus for measuring temperature or humidity that is easy to attach and detach to a container.

In recent years, personal preference about contents to be able to eat or contents to be able to take incense becomes clear.

In particular, consumers are responding sensitively to the taste and flavor of the contents, and consumers are increasingly responding delicately to the deterioration of the contents, such as confirming the expiration date.

These contents are sensitive to temperature or humidity and are altered.

Therefore, it is most important to precede the monitoring of temperature or humidity in understanding the alteration of contents.

Generally, in order to measure the temperature or the humidity around the contents, most of the conventional thermometers or hygrometers were used.

However, it was troublesome to store and use the equipment when the general consumer uses it.

Another method is to indirectly store the contents in a storage device such as a refrigerator, a kimchi refrigerator, and a wine refrigerator.

However, the above-mentioned devices are disadvantageous in that they are heavy in weight, are bulky and inconvenient to move, and have high power consumption.

In addition, since the devices are stored in large quantities, it is not easy to monitor the ambient temperature and humidity of individual contents, and it is difficult to precisely match the user's taste and personality.

Accordingly, there is still a need for a measuring device that monitors the temperature or humidity around the contents with a simple structure and at a low cost while solving the above problems.
