Temperature monitoring electronic device with liquid protection
A newly filed patent (Publication Number: US20240003749A1) describes an electronic device designed to monitor the temperature of an ambient environment. The device includes an enclosure with multiple external surfaces, one of which has an opening exposing a thermal member to the environment. This thermal member, made of a material with high thermal conductivity, is in contact with a temperature sensor inside the enclosure. The device also features computer processors with wireless transmitter circuitry to transmit temperature measurements wirelessly.
The patent further details the construction of the electronic device, including the use of plastic cover members, a connector interface for external temperature sensors, and multiple PCB assemblies for wireless communication and temperature sensing. Additionally, the device can be part of a larger system for vehicle monitoring, with a gateway device connecting to a Wide Area Network and sensor devices placed in vehicle compartments. The system allows for wireless transmission of temperature data to the gateway device, enabling real-time monitoring of temperature conditions within the vehicle.
