A second locking groove is provided on both sides of the first slider, and the protruding rod is movably connected to the second locking groove.

[0010] Based on the aforementioned solution, the cleaning mechanism includes a door panel, with two hinges fixedly connected to one side of the door panel and the hinges fixed to the protective shell. Two fixing rods are fixedly connected to one side of the door panel, and a steel wire rope is fixedly connected to one end of each fixing rod. Grooves are formed on both inner walls of the protective shell, and a cleaning roller is movably connected to the groove, with the steel wire rope fixed to the cleaning roller. A second spring is fixedly connected to the groove and is fixed to the cleaning roller. Fixing columns are fixedly connected to both inner walls of the protective shell.

[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the fixing mechanism includes two guide rods, which are respectively fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the protective shell. Two fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the protective shell. A connecting rod is movably connected between two adjacent fixing blocks, and the guide rod passes through the connecting rod. A locking block is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting rod. A first locking groove is provided on both sides of the bottom plate, and the locking block is movably connected to the first locking groove.

[0018] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a ground source heat pump temperature controller, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. By using the second slider and the second slot together, the temperature controller body is pushed. The temperature controller drives the first slider to move. The first slider will fix the first wedge block to the second slider through the top block. At the same time, the second wedge block will disengage from the limiting slot. At this time, the temperature controller body can be removed from the base plate, which is convenient for disassembling and repairing the temperature controller, saving time and improving the maintenance efficiency of the temperature controller.

[0021] 2. With the cleaning mechanism in place, when the door is opened, the door will pull the cleaning roller along the trough via a wire rope and squeeze the second spring, thereby cleaning the thermostat body. This eliminates the need for manual cleaning of the thermostat periodically, improving the convenience of cleaning the thermostat.

[0022] 3. By using the first and second magnetic blocks together, when the temperature controller needs to be used, open the door panel and rotate the door panel 90 degrees. At this time, the first and second magnetic blocks will attract each other, thereby fixing the position of the door panel after it is opened. It is not necessary to hold it with your hand all the time, making it convenient to use the temperature controller.

[0023] 4. With the heat dissipation holes, since the temperature controller is always powered on, it will generate heat inside the protective shell. The heat dissipation holes will dissipate the heat generated by the temperature controller, preventing heat from accumulating inside the protective shell and affecting the temperature controller, thus improving the heat dissipation effect of the temperature controller.

[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Reference Figures 1-10A ground source heat pump temperature controller includes a base plate 7, a protective shell 6, a temperature controller body 16, a limiting mechanism, a cleaning mechanism, and a fixing mechanism. Multiple mounting blocks 22 are welded to one side of the base plate 7. Multiple third sliding grooves 34 are formed on one side of the temperature controller body 16. A second slider 32 is slidably connected within two adjacent third sliding grooves 34. A first slot 35 is formed at the bottom of the second slider 32, and a first slider 27 is slidably connected within the first slot 35. The first slider 27 is fixed to the temperature controller body 16. A second wedge block 33 is welded to the bottom of the first slider 27. A second compression spring 39 is welded to the top of the first slider 27, and the second compression spring 39 is fixed to the first slot 35. A top block 36 is welded to the top of the first slider 27. A second slot 37 is opened on one side of each of the multiple mounting blocks 22, and the second slider 32 and the first slider 27 are inserted into the second slot 37. A limiting groove 38 is opened at the bottom of the second slot 37, and the second wedge block 33 is engaged with the limiting groove 38. A first sliding groove 25 is opened at the top of the second slot 37. A first wedge block 26 is slidably connected within the first slide groove 25. The first wedge block 26 is inserted into the second slider 32 and contacts the top block 36. A third spring 24 is welded to the top of the first wedge block 26 and is fixed to the first slide groove 25. When the temperature controller body 16 is pushed upward, the second slider 32 contacts the top of the second slot 37. Therefore, when the temperature controller body 16 is pushed to move, the second slider 32 will move along the third slide groove 34, and the temperature controller body 16 will drive the first slider 27 towards the first slot 36. When the first slider 27 moves within the first slide groove 25, it will drive the second wedge block 33 and the top block 36 to move. The top block 36 will push the first wedge block 26 into the first slide groove 25 and squeeze the third spring 24. When the first wedge block 26 is fully inserted into the first slide groove 25, the second wedge block 33 will disengage from the limiting groove 38. At the same time, the limiting mechanism will no longer limit the first slider 27. At this time, the temperature controller body 16 can be removed, which facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the temperature controller, saves time, and improves the maintenance efficiency of the temperature controller.

[0037] In particular, the limiting mechanism of this invention includes multiple protruding rods 31, and second sliding grooves 29 are provided on both sides of multiple second slots 37. The protruding rods 31 are slidably connected to the second sliding grooves 29. A first compression spring 30 is welded to one side of the protruding rod 31 and is fixed to the second sliding groove 29. Second locking slots 28 are provided on both sides of the first slider 27 and the protruding rods 31 are engaged with the second locking slots 28. The cleaning mechanism includes a door panel 4. Two hinges 1 are fixed to one side of the door panel 4 by bolts and are fixed to the protective shell 6. Two fixing rods are welded to one side of the door panel 4, and steel wire ropes 21 are welded to one end of each fixing rod. Grooves 17 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the protective shell 6. Cleaning rollers 19 are slidably connected in the grooves 17 and the steel wire ropes 21 are connected to the cleaning rollers 19. The cleaning roller 19 is fixed and in contact with the temperature controller body 16. A second spring 18 is welded inside the tank 17 and is fixed to the cleaning roller 19. Fixing posts 20 are welded to the inner walls of both sides of the protective shell 6, and the wire rope 21 is in contact with the fixing posts 20. When the door panel 4 is opened, the door panel 4 will pull the cleaning roller 19 along the tank 17 through the wire rope 21 and squeeze the second spring 18, thereby cleaning the temperature controller body 16 with the cleaning roller 19. This eliminates the need for manual periodic cleaning of the temperature controller and improves the convenience of cleaning the temperature controller. The fixing mechanism includes two guide rods 10, which are respectively fixed to the outer walls of both sides of the protective shell 6 by bolts. Two fixing blocks 12 are welded to the outer walls of both sides of the protective shell 6. A connecting rod 9 is rotatably connected between the fixed blocks 12, and a guide rod 10 passes through the connecting rod 9. A locking block 8 is welded to one side of the connecting rod 9. First slots 13 are provided on both sides of the base plate 7, and the locking block 8 engages with the first slots 13. A first spring 11 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 10, and the two ends of the first spring 11 are fixed to the protective shell 6 and the connecting rod 9, respectively. Pressing one end of the connecting rod 9 on both sides of the protective shell 6 will cause the pressed end to move along the guide rod 10 and squeeze the first spring 11. At the same time, the connecting rod 9 will rotate, causing the other end of the connecting rod 9 to lift up. At this time, the other end of the connecting rod 9 will drive the locking block 8 to move, causing the locking block 8 to disengage from the first slot 13, so that the protective shell 6 can be removed from the base plate 7. Multiple positioning devices are welded to one side of the base plate 7. The protective shell 6 has multiple positioning slots 14 on one side, and the positioning columns 15 are evenly distributed. The positioning columns 15 are inserted into the positioning slots 14. The positioning columns 15 and positioning slots 14 serve a positioning function when installing the protective shell 6 to the base plate 7. A first magnetic block 2 is fixed to one side of the outer wall of the protective shell 6 by bolts. A mounting slot is opened on one side of the door panel 4, and a second magnetic block 3 is fixed to the mounting slot by bolts. The second magnetic block 3 and the first magnetic block 2 can attract each other. When the temperature controller needs to be used, the door panel 4 is opened and rotated 90 degrees. At this time, the first magnetic block 2 and the second magnetic block 3 will attract each other, thus fixing the position of the opened door panel 4. This eliminates the need to hold the door panel constantly, making it convenient to use the temperature controller. A groove 5 is opened on one side of the outer wall of the protective shell 6.Furthermore, the groove 5 is located below the door panel 4, and the groove 5 is to provide space for opening the door panel 4. Multiple mounting holes 23 are evenly distributed on one side of the base plate 7, used to fix the base plate 7 to the wall. Two heat dissipation holes 40 are evenly distributed on both sides of the protective shell 6. Since the temperature controller is constantly powered, it generates heat inside the protective shell 6. The heat dissipation holes 40 dissipate this heat, preventing heat buildup inside the protective shell 6 from affecting the temperature controller and improving its heat dissipation effect.

[0038] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the thermostat needs to be disassembled and repaired, first press one end of the connecting rod 9 on both sides of the protective shell 6. The pressed end will move along the guide rod 10 and squeeze the first spring 11. At the same time, the connecting rod 9 will rotate, causing the other end of the connecting rod 9 to lift up. At this time, the other end of the connecting rod 9 will drive the locking block 8 to move, causing the locking block 8 to disengage from the first locking groove 13, and the protective shell 6 will be removed from the base plate 7. Then, push the thermostat body 16 upward. At this time, since the second slider 32 is in contact with the top of the second groove 37, the second slider 32 will move along the third sliding groove 34 when the thermostat body 16 is pushed to move, and the thermostat body 16 will... The first slider 27 moves into the first slot 35, which in turn presses the protruding rod 31 into the second slide groove 29 and presses the first compression spring 30. At the same time, the first slider 27 moves the second wedge block 33 and the top block 36. The top block 36 pushes the first wedge block 26 into the first slide groove 25 and presses the third spring 24. When the first wedge block 26 is fully inserted into the first slide groove 25, the second wedge block 33 disengages from the limiting groove 38, and the protruding rod 31 disengages from the second locking groove 28. At this point, the temperature controller body 16 can be removed, which facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the temperature controller, saves time, and improves the maintenance efficiency of the temperature controller.

[0039] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that can control it.
