Abstract
A soldering iron rack including a base having an upright support, an electric soldering iron, a holder mounted on the upright support and having a heat-insulative barrel on the inside for holding the electric soldering iron, and a control circuit to detect the temperature of the electric soldering iron when the electric soldering iron is put in the holder so as to cut off power supply from the electric soldering iron when its temperature surpasses the predetermined upper limit value or to heat the electric soldering iron when its temperature drops below the predetermined lower limit value.
Claims4
A soldering iron rack comprising:
- a base having an upright support, and a top recess for holding a sponge;
- an electric soldering iron;
- a holder mounted on said upright support for holding said electric soldering iron, said holder comprising a cylindrical heat-resisting casing and a heat-insulative barrel longitudinally received inside said heat-resisting casing for holding said electric soldering iron when said electric soldering iron is not operated;
- a thermodetector disposed inside said heat-insulative barrel to detect the temperature of said electric soldering iron when said electric soldering iron is put in said heat-insulative barrel;
- and
- a control circuit to receive the detected temperature signal from said thermodetector by a signal line so as to cut off power supply from said electric soldering iron when the detected temperature signal surpass a predetermined upper limit value or turn on power supply to said electric soldering iron when the detected temperature signal drops below a predetermined lower limit value.
