[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of temperature controllers, in particular to a temperature controller with magnetic blowing. Background Art

[0002] Thermostats are widely used in household appliances, industrial equipment and various occasions that require precise temperature control and power off. Their core function is to control the on and off of the circuit by opening and closing the internal contact group according to the change of ambient temperature, and the power-off temperature of the contact group can be adjusted by the temperature threshold adjustment mechanism inside the thermostat. Therefore, the two extended pins of the contact group can be connected in series in the power-on circuit of various devices that require temperature control and power off, so that the equipment installed with the thermostat has safety protection capabilities and improves reliability and safety.

[0003] However, during the disconnection operation of the contact group, a high-temperature arc is often generated due to the instantaneous cutting off of the current.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0041] Combine the following Figures 1 to 4 , describing a temperature controller with magnetic blowing according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0042] A temperature controller with magnetic blowing, comprising a housing 1, a temperature threshold adjustment mechanism 2, a power-off mechanism 3, a magnetic blowing mechanism 4 and a power-on mechanism 5, wherein the power-on mechanism 5 is provided with a contact group 51; the temperature threshold adjustment mechanism 2, the power-off mechanism 3 and the power-on mechanism 5 are all arranged in the housing 1, the preset temperature adjustment member 21 of the temperature threshold adjustment mechanism 2 extends to the outside of the housing 1, the input end and the output end of the power-on mechanism 5 both extend to the outside of the housing 1, and the temperature sensing part of the power-off mechanism 3 extends to the outside of the housing 1 and is arranged at the target temperature sensing part of the equipment where the temperature limiter is installed;

[0043] The temperature sensing part of the power-off mechanism 3 is connected to the regulating part 22 of the temperature threshold regulating mechanism 2, and the action end of the power-off mechanism 3 is movably connected to the contact group 51; the power-off mechanism 3 is used to disconnect the contact group 2 when the sensed temperature exceeds the preset temperature;

[0044] The magnetic blowing mechanism 4 is arranged on the periphery of the contact group 51, and the magnetic field magnetic flux lines generated by the magnetic blowing mechanism 4 pass straight through the contact contact surface 52 of the contact group 51 and are parallel to the contact contact surface 52; the shell 1 is provided with an arc absorbing portion 11 in the vertical direction of the magnetic field magnetic flux lines, and the arc absorbing portion 11 is located on the periphery of the contact group 51 and encloses the contact group 51.

[0045] Specifically, the contact group of the thermostat is often surrounded by various components, such as the outer casing, temperature threshold adjustment mechanism, temperature sensing mechanism and fixing screws. The existence of these components limits the arcing space of the magnetic arc blowing, and since the arcing direction and arc extinction distance of the magnetic arc blowing are uncontrollable, the magnetic arc blowing may hit the surrounding components, causing the components to melt, resulting in various unpredictable consequences. For example, the temperature threshold adjustment mechanism is melted and cannot be adjusted, the thermostat will lose its precise temperature control ability, and then the thermostat will fail, and the thermostat installation equipment will be short-circuited or open-circuited.

[0046] Therefore, how to ensure that the magnetic arc blowing can effectively extinguish the high-temperature arc while avoiding the arc blowing from damaging the surrounding components has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in the current temperature controller design.

[0047] The present invention proposes a preferred embodiment of a temperature controller with magnetic blowing, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the temperature threshold adjustment mechanism 2, the power-off mechanism 3 and the power-on mechanism 5 are all arranged in the shell 1 to form the main body of the temperature controller; the preset temperature adjustment member 21 of the temperature threshold adjustment mechanism 2 extends to the outside of the shell 1, so that the user can operate to adjust the preset temperature; the input end and the output end of the power-on mechanism 5 are extended to the outside of the shell 1, and are respectively connected to the conductive parts (wires, electric sheets, etc.) of the electrical equipment, so as to install the thermostat in series on the power-on circuit of the electrical equipment; the temperature sensing part of the power-off mechanism 3 extends to the outside of the shell 1, and is arranged at the target temperature sensing part of the equipment where the temperature limiter is installed, so as to sense the temperature change of the target temperature sensing part.

[0048] Inside the shell 1, the temperature sensing part of the power-off mechanism 3 is connected to the adjustment part 22 of the temperature threshold adjustment mechanism 2, so that the temperature threshold adjustment mechanism 2 can adjust the triggering moment of the temperature sensing part of the power-off mechanism 3 to achieve the purpose of adjusting the preset temperature; the action end of the power-off mechanism 3 and the contact group 51 are movably connected, that is, when the sensed temperature does not exceed the preset temperature, the action end of the power-off mechanism 3 keeps the contacts of the contact group 51 connected, and when the sensed temperature exceeds the preset temperature, the action end of the power-off mechanism 3 disconnects the contacts of the contact group 51, thereby realizing overheating protection of the electrical equipment.

[0049] On this basis, the magnetic blowing mechanism 4 is arranged on the periphery of the contact group 51 so that the magnetic field magnetic flux lines generated by the magnetic blowing mechanism 4 are straight (such as Figure 4 The contact contact surface 52 (shown as the large-spaced dashed line) of the contact group 51 passes through the contact contact surface 52 (as shown in FIG. Figure 4 ), and is parallel to the contact surface 52 of the contact, so that when the contact is disconnected, the direction of the high-temperature arc current generated is always perpendicular to the magnetic flux lines (because the arc is generated from one contact to another contact), so that the arc drawing direction is always perpendicular to the magnetic flux lines (derived from the direction of the Lorentz force determined by the left-hand rule), and directional arc drawing is achieved; therefore, the housing 1 is provided with an arc absorbing portion 11 in the vertical direction of the magnetic flux lines, and the arc absorbing portion 11 is located on the periphery of the contact group 51 and encloses the contact group 51 (that is, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 The upper, lower, front and rear peripheries of the contact group 51 shown in the figure can absorb the high-temperature arc coming from the directional arc, effectively extinguish the high-temperature arc, and prevent the arc from damaging the surrounding components inside the shell 1.

[0050] Furthermore, the power-on mechanism 5 includes an input contact 53, an output contact 54 and a moving contact 55; the input contact 53, the output contact 54 and the moving contact 55 are all arranged at the front of the housing 1, the front of the input contact 53 and the output contact 54 are extended outside the housing 1, the rear of the input contact 53 is connected to the right of the moving contact 55, the action end of the power-off mechanism 3 is transmission-connected to the moving contact 55, and the left end of the moving contact 55 is abutted against or separated from the rear of the output contact 54;

[0051] The left end of the movable contact 55 and the rear of the output contact 54 form a contact group 51; when the left end of the movable contact 55 and the rear of the output contact 54 abut against each other, the abutting surfaces of the left end of the movable contact 55 and the rear of the output contact 54 are both contact contact surfaces 52;

[0052] The magnetic blowing mechanism 4 is disposed on the left and right sides of the contact group 51 to form a magnetic field between the left and right sides of the contact group 51 , and the arc absorbing portion 11 is disposed on the front and rear sides of the contact group 51 .

[0053] In this embodiment, based on the fact that both the input and output ends of the power-on mechanism 5 need to extend outside the shell 1, in order to reduce the power-on path, the power-on mechanism 5 of the temperature controller is composed of an input contact 53, an output contact 54 and a moving contact 55, and all are arranged at the front of the shell 1, wherein the front parts of the input contact 53 and the output contact 54 extend outside the shell 1, and are used to install the thermostat in series on the power-on circuit of the electrical equipment, the rear part of the input contact 53 and the right part of the moving contact 55 are connected, and the action end of the power-off mechanism 3 and the moving contact 55 are transmission-connected, so that through the mutual transmission between the action end of the power-off mechanism 3 and the moving contact 55, the left end of the moving contact 55 and the rear part of the output contact 54 are driven to separate when the contact group 51 is disconnected, and to offset each other when the contact group 51 is connected.

[0054] Based on the structure of the above-mentioned power-on mechanism 5, when the left end of the moving contact 55 and the rear of the output contact 54 abut against each other, the abutting surfaces of the left end of the moving contact 55 and the rear of the output contact 54 are both contact contact surfaces 52. At this time, if they are separated, an arc will be generated from the left end of the moving contact 55 to the rear of the output contact 54, or from the rear of the output contact 54 to the left end of the moving contact 55; based on this, the magnetic blowing mechanism 4 is arranged on the left and right sides of the contact group 51, and a magnetic field is formed between the left and right sides of the contact group 51, so that the magnetic flux lines of the magnetic field can be made parallel to the contact contact surface 52. Based on the arc flow direction being upward or downward, the arc drawing direction can only be forward or backward (derived from the direction of the Lorentz force determined by the left-hand rule). Therefore, the arc absorbing portion 11 is arranged on the front and rear sides of the contact group 51, which can absorb the high-temperature arc drawn in a directional manner, effectively extinguish the high-temperature arc, and avoid the arc drawing from damaging the surrounding components inside the shell 1.

[0057] In this embodiment, in order to form a magnetic field with horizontal straight magnetic flux lines between the left and right sides of the contact group 51 (i.e., parallel to the contact surface 52), the magnetic blowing mechanism 4 is provided with receiving groove placement notches 12 on the top of the shell 1 corresponding to the left and right sides of the rear of the output contact 54, and two receiving grooves 411 are provided in the magnetic blowing mounting member 41 for placing the magnets 42. Then, the magnetic blowing mounting member 41 with the magnets 42 placed is installed on the top of the shell 1, and the two receiving grooves 411 are respectively placed in the two receiving groove placement notches 12, so that the two receiving grooves 411 are respectively placed on the left and right sides of the rear of the output contact 54, and the magnets 42 placed in the two receiving grooves 411 attract each other, thereby forming a magnetic field with horizontal straight magnetic flux lines between the left and right sides of the contact group 51.

[0058] Furthermore, the housing 1 includes an upper housing 13 and a lower housing 14; the upper housing 13 is provided with an adjustment hole 131 corresponding to the preset temperature adjustment member 21, the arc absorbing portion 11 is arranged in the front shell of the lower housing 14, and the receiving groove placement notch 12 is arranged in the front of the upper housing 13;

[0064] The top end of the second arc-absorbing member 112 abuts against the bottom surfaces of the input contact 53 and the output contact 54 , and the rear surface of the second arc-absorbing member 112 encloses the front side of the left end of the moving contact 55 .

[0065] In this embodiment, considering that arc absorption is required at the front and rear sides of the contact group 51 and it needs to be installed in the lower shell 14, the arc absorption part 11 is selected to be composed of a first arc absorption member 111 and a second arc absorption member 112, wherein an arc absorption member fixing groove 141 is provided in the shell of the lower shell 14 corresponding to the rear side of the left end of the moving contact 55, and the bottom end of the first arc absorption member 111 is fixed in the arc absorption member fixing groove 141. When the upper shell 13 and the lower shell 14 are buckled and installed, the front of the first arc absorption member 111 can enclose the rear side of the left end of the moving contact 55 and the rear side of the output contact 54, so as to realize The rear side of the contact group 51 is now enclosed; the front panel of the lower shell 14 is replaced by the second arc-absorbing component 112, and an arc-absorbing component mounting groove 142 is provided at the front end of the lower shell 14. The second arc-absorbing component 112 is inserted and installed at the front end of the lower shell 14 along the arc-absorbing component mounting groove 142. When the upper shell 13 and the lower shell 14 are snap-fitted and installed, the top end of the second arc-absorbing component 112 can be made to abut against the bottom surfaces of the input contact 53 and the output contact 54, and the back of the second arc-absorbing component 112 can enclose the front side of the left end of the moving contact 55, thereby enclosing the front side of the contact group 51.

[0066] More importantly, based on the installation structure of the first arc-absorbing member 111 and the second arc-absorbing member 112, when the first arc-absorbing member 111 and the second arc-absorbing member 112 are damaged after multiple arc-absorbing operations, they are easier to disassemble and replace.

[0067] Furthermore, the power supply mechanism 5 further includes an elastic stopper 56; the rear portion of the input contact 53, the right portion of the elastic stopper 56 and the right portion of the movable contact 55 are fixedly connected in sequence from top to bottom, and an elastic member 57 is provided between the bottom surface of the left portion of the elastic stopper 56 and the top surface of the right portion of the movable contact 55;

[0068] The action end of the power-off mechanism 3 presses upward against the bottom surface of the elastic member 57 corresponding to the right part of the moving contact 55; when the power-off mechanism 3 senses that the temperature exceeds the preset temperature, the action end of the power-off mechanism 3 moves downward;

[0069] The middle part of the movable contact member 55 is concave corresponding to the receiving groove 411 and is provided with a hook member and the left end of the elastic limiting member 56 for movable buckling connection.

[0070] In this embodiment, in order to enable the power-on mechanism 5 to cooperate more simply with the power-off mechanism 3 and reduce the structural complexity of the power-off mechanism 3, the power-on mechanism 5 also includes an elastic limiter 56, which fixes and connects the rear part of the input contact 53, the right part of the elastic limiter 56 and the right part of the moving contact 55 in sequence from top to bottom, and an elastic member 57 (such as a spring) is provided between the bottom surface of the left part of the elastic limiter 56 and the top surface of the right part of the moving contact 55, and the action end of the power-off mechanism 3 presses upward against the bottom surface of the elastic member 57 corresponding to the right part of the moving contact 55, so that the left part of the moving contact 55 and the rear part of the output contact 54 are pressed against each other, and the contact group 51 remains connected; when the power-off mechanism 3 senses that the temperature exceeds the preset temperature, the action end of the power-off mechanism 3 moves downward, and the left part of the moving contact 55 and the rear part of the output contact 54 are separated, and the contact group 51 is disconnected, so that the control logic of the power-off mechanism 3 is simple.

[0071] On this basis, in order to enable the accommodating groove 411 to be set on the left side of the moving contact 55 and the right side of the rear part of the output contact 54, the middle part of the moving contact 55 is recessed corresponding to the accommodating groove 411; and because the moving contact 55 has been bent and has poor stability, a hook and an elastic limit member 56 are provided in the middle part of the moving contact 55, and the left end of the hook and the elastic limit member 56 are movably fastened and connected, so that the moving contact 55 can be pushed upward by the power-off mechanism 3 while preventing the moving contact 55 from moving downward excessively when it is reset under the action of the elastic member 57.

[0072] Furthermore, the top of the first arc-absorbing member 111 is set as a step structure, the step platform of the first arc-absorbing member 111 is located below the left end of the moving contact 55, and the step back plate of the first arc-absorbing member 111 is located on the rear side of the left end of the moving contact 55 and the rear side of the output contact 54.

[0073] In the present embodiment, in order to prevent the left end of the moving contact 55 from moving downward too much (such as the moving contact 55 moves downward under the action of the elastic member 57) when the left end of the moving contact 55 and the rear part of the output contact 54 are separated under the transmission of the power-off mechanism 3, resulting in the subsequent inability to reset, the top of the first arc-absorbing member 111 is set to a step structure, and the step platform of the first arc-absorbing member 111 is located below the left end of the moving contact 55 to limit the left end of the moving contact 55 from moving downward, and the step back plate of the first arc-absorbing member 111 is located on the rear side of the left end of the moving contact 55 and the rear side of the output contact 54, and is used for arc absorption on the rear side of the contact group 51.

[0074] Furthermore, the first arc-absorbing member 111 and the second arc-absorbing member 112 are both made of ceramic materials; the input contact 53, the output contact 54 and the moving contact 55 are all made of non-magnetic conductive materials.

[0075] In this embodiment, based on the excellent insulation and high temperature resistance of ceramic materials, the first arc-absorbing member 111 and the second arc-absorbing member 112 are both made of ceramic materials and are not easily damaged by electric arcs, thereby greatly extending their service life.

[0076] Because the input contact 53, the output contact 54 and the moving contact 55 are all covered by the magnetic field, in order to avoid being attracted by the magnetic field and causing malfunction, the input contact 53, the output contact 54 and the moving contact 55 are preferably made of non-magnetic conductive materials, such as copper, and alloys of copper and non-magnetic or weakly magnetic metals.

[0077] Furthermore, the power-off mechanism 3 includes a temperature-sensing package 31, a temperature-sensing capillary 32 and a pressure plate 33; the top surface of the temperature-sensing package 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting portion 22, the temperature-sensing capillary 32 is connected to the inside of the temperature-sensing package 31, the other end of the temperature-sensing capillary 32 extends out of the housing 1 and is arranged at the target temperature-sensing position of the device where the thermostat is installed, the rear end of the pressure plate 33 is fixedly connected to the inner shell top of the upper housing 13, the deformable bottom surface of the temperature-sensing package 31 is located above the middle top surface of the pressure plate 33, the front end of the pressure plate 33 bypasses the middle lower concave position of the moving contact 55, and presses upward against the bottom surface of the elastic member 57 corresponding to the right part of the moving contact 55;

[0078] When the temperature sensed by the temperature-sensing capillary tube 32 exceeds a preset temperature, the deformable bottom surface of the temperature-sensing package 31 pushes the pressure plate 33 to move downward.

[0079] In this embodiment, the action mechanism of the power-off mechanism 3 is as follows: when the temperature-sensing capillary 32 senses that the temperature of the target temperature-sensing part exceeds the preset temperature, the temperature-sensing medium in the temperature-sensing bag 31 expands, causing the deformable bottom surface of the temperature-sensing bag 31 to bulge downward, thereby pushing the pressure plate 33 to move downward, causing the front part of the pressure plate 33 to release the right part of the moving contact 55, and the right part of the moving contact 55 moves downward under the action of the elastic member 57, and then the left part of the moving contact 55 and the rear part of the output contact 54 are separated, and the power is cut off to achieve overheating protection.

[0080] Furthermore, the temperature threshold adjustment mechanism 2 also includes a fixed bracket 23; the top of the fixed bracket 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the upper shell 13, the top of the fixed bracket 23 is sleeved on the outside of the bottom of the preset temperature adjustment member 21, the bottom bracket of the fixed bracket 23 passes through the outside of the temperature sensing package 31, and is connected to the bottom of the lower shell 14, the bottom of the preset temperature adjustment member 21 is transmission-connected to the top of the adjustment part 22, and the bottom of the adjustment part 22 is transmission-connected to the top of the temperature sensing package 31;

[0081] When the preset temperature is adjusted to a higher value, the distance between the deformable bottom surface of the temperature-sensing package 31 and the middle top surface of the pressure plate 33 increases; when the preset temperature is adjusted to a lower value, the distance between the deformable bottom surface of the temperature-sensing package 31 and the middle top surface of the pressure plate 33 decreases.

[0082] In this embodiment, the fixed bracket 23 enables the preset temperature adjustment member 21, the adjustment part 22 and the temperature-sensing package 31 to be arranged above the pressure plate 33, so that under the transmission of the preset temperature adjustment member 21, the adjustment part 22 can drive the temperature-sensing package 31 to move up and down, and freely adjust the distance between the deformable bottom surface of the temperature-sensing package 31 and the middle top surface of the pressure plate 33, so as to achieve the preset temperature adjustment. Specifically, the lower part of the preset temperature adjustment member 21 is a threaded rod, the adjustment part 22 is provided with a threaded channel, and the top of the temperature-sensing package 31 is provided with a threaded interface. The threaded rod passes through the threaded channel and is connected to the threaded interface to achieve the function of adjusting the distance between the deformable bottom surface of the temperature-sensing package 31 and the middle top surface of the pressure plate 33.

[0083] It should be noted that a small distance between the deformable bottom surface of the temperature-sensing bag 31 and the middle top surface of the pressure plate 33 means that a relatively low temperature can cause the temperature-sensing bag 31 to expand slightly to achieve power off, while a large distance means that a relatively high temperature is required to cause the temperature-sensing bag 31 to expand to push the pressure plate 33 downward to achieve power off.
