Abstract

A mobile storage apparatus with a temperature detecting function is provided. The mobile storage apparatus includes a shell, a universal serial bus (USB) interface arranged at an end of the shell, and a temperature measuring device. The temperature measuring device includes a temperature sensor, a chip mounted in the shell, and a display module disposed on a top of the shell. The temperature sensor senses a temperature, and converts an analog signal of the sensed temperature into a digital signal. The chip receives the digital signal and converts the digital signal into a display signal. The display module receives the display signal for displaying the sensed temperature.

Claims

1. A mobile storage apparatus with a temperature detecting function, the mobile storage apparatus comprising:

a shell;

a universal serial bus (USB) interface arranged at an end of the shell and configured to connect with an electric device; and

a temperature measuring device including a temperature sensor, a chip mounted in the shell, and a display module disposed on an outer surface of the shell, the temperature sensor acting as sensing a temperature therearound, and converting an analog signal of the sensed temperature into a digital signal, the chip acting as receiving the digital signal and converting the digital signal into a display signal, the display module acting as receiving the digital signal for displaying the sensed temperature.

2. The mobile storage apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the temperature sensor is mounted at an end of the shell.

3. The mobile storage apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the chip and the display module are provided with power via the USB interface.

4. The mobile storage apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the temperature sensor is a single in-line, intellective sensor.

5. The mobile storage apparatus as claimed in claim 4, wherein the temperature sensor works in a parasitical power state when having no external power.

6. A mobile storage apparatus with a temperature detecting function, the mobile storage apparatus comprising:

a temperature sensor for sensing a temperature, and converting an analog signal of the sensed temperature into a digital signal;

a chip electrically connected to the temperature sensor for converting the digital signal into a display signal;

a displaying module electrically connected to the chip for receiving the display signal and displaying the sensed temperature; and

a universal serial bus (USB) interface for providing power to the chip and the displaying module.

7. The mobile storage apparatus as claimed in claim 6, wherein the temperature sensor is a single in-line, intellective sensor.

8. The mobile storage apparatus as claimed in claim 7, wherein the temperature sensor works in a parasitical power state when having no external power.
