[0030] The following is combined with Figure 1-Figure 5 This application is described in further detail.

[0031] The embodiment of the present application discloses a thermostat 100 .

[0032] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4According to the embodiment of the present application, the thermostat 100 includes: a shell 1, a control mechanism 2 and a controller. The shell 1 defines an installation space 11, a cold head 12 is arranged in the shell 1, and a receiving space 121 is defined at the top of the cold head 12. The cold head 12 defines an input channel 122, an output channel 123 and a discharge channel 124. A sample table 125 is arranged on the top wall of the cold head 12. A temperature detection element 126 and a heating element 127 are arranged in the sample table 125. The temperature detection element 126 is used to detect the temperature of the sample table 125. The parts are suitable for being placed on the sample table 125. Along the height direction of the thermostat 100, the top of the cold head 12 refers to the upper end of the cold head 12, the top wall of the cold head 12 refers to the upper end wall of the cold head 12, and the height direction of the thermostat 100 can refer to Figure 1 In the up and down direction, it should be noted that the accommodating space 121 is not connected to the sample stage 125.

[0033] In some specific embodiments, the temperature sensor silicon may be a diode sensor or the like, and the heating element 127 may be a heating wire or the like.

[0034] The control mechanism 2 is arranged in the accommodating space 121, and the control mechanism 2 includes a partition 21, a sealing member 22 and a driving member 23. The partition 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the accommodating space 121. The partition 21 divides the accommodating space 121 into a cooling space 128 and a conveying space 129. The cooling space 128 is located on the side of the partition 21 close to the sample stage 125, and the conveying space 129 is located on the side of the partition 21 away from the sample stage 125. That is to say, the cooling space 128 is located above the partition 21, and the conveying space 129 is located below the partition 21.

[0035] Furthermore, the input channel 122 and the output channel 123 are both connected to the conveying space 129, and the exhaust channel 124 is connected between the cooling space 128 and the output channel 123. The cooling medium flows into the conveying space 129 through the input channel 122, and flows out of the accommodating space 121 through the output channel 123 and the exhaust channel 124. Specifically, one end of the input channel 122 is connected to the conveying end of the cooling medium conveying device, and the other end of the input channel 122 is connected to the conveying space 129. One end of the output channel 123 is connected to the input end of the cooling medium conveying device, and the other end of the output channel 123 is connected to the conveying space 129. The cooling medium conveying device conveys the cooling medium to the conveying space 129 through the input channel 122, and the cooling medium in the conveying space 129 flows into the cooling medium conveying device through the output channel 123, and the cooling medium conveying device can refrigerate the cooling medium, thereby achieving the technical effect of recycling the cooling medium, thereby reducing the refrigeration cost of the thermostat 100.

[0036] Furthermore, one end of the discharge channel 124 is communicated with the cooling space 128 , and the other end of the discharge channel 124 is communicated with the output channel 123 . The cooling medium in the cooling space 128 flows into the cooling medium conveying device through the discharge channel 124 and the output channel 123 .

[0037] The partition 21 is provided with a connecting hole 211, which penetrates the partition 21 along the height direction of the thermostat 100, and the connecting hole 211 is connected to both the cooling space 128 and the conveying space 129. The blocking member 22 is movably arranged in the accommodating space 121 and is opposite to the connecting hole 211. Specifically, when the blocking member 22 is driven, the blocking member 22 moves along the height direction of the thermostat 100, and the blocking member 22 is suitable for blocking the connecting hole 211. The driving member 23 is connected to the blocking member 22 in a transmission manner, and the driving member 23 is used to drive the blocking member 22 to move closer to or away from the connecting hole 211. The controller is in communication connection with both the temperature detection member 126 and the driving member 23, and the controller is used to control the working state of the driving member 23 according to the detection signal of the temperature detection member 126, and control the heating member 127 to start or stop heating.

[0038] Specifically, the temperature detection component 126 detects the temperature of the sample stage 125. When the temperature of the sample stage 125 is higher than the preset temperature, the temperature detection component 126 generates a first detection signal. The controller controls the heating component 127 to stop working according to the first detection signal, and controls the driving component 23 to drive the blocking component 22 to move away from the partition 21. The connecting hole 211 is not blocked by the blocking component 22. The cooling medium in the conveying space 129 passes through the connecting hole 211 and enters into the cooling space 128. The cooling medium in the cooling space 128 cools the sample stage 125 to reduce the temperature of the sample stage 125.

[0039] When the temperature of the sample stage 125 is lower than the preset temperature, the temperature detection element 126 generates a second detection signal. The controller controls the heating element 127 to start working according to the second detection signal, and controls the driving element 23 to drive the sealing element 22 to move close to the partition 21. The sealing element 22 blocks the connecting hole 211, and the cooling medium in the conveying space 129 cannot enter the cooling space 128, thereby preventing the sample stage 125 from exchanging heat with the cooling medium, and reducing the heating power of the heating element 127 to heat the sample stage 125 to the preset temperature.

[0040] In some specific embodiments, the cooling medium may be helium, etc., and the cooling medium delivery device may be a compressor, etc. It should be noted that the thermostat 100 cools the sample stage 125 by switching between a compressed state and an expanded state using helium. When the helium is switched from the compressed state to the expanded state, the helium absorbs the heat of the sample stage 125 to reduce the temperature of the sample stage 125.

[0041] In some specific embodiments, the driving member 23 may be an electromagnet, and the blocking member 22 is provided with a magnetic driving portion opposite to the driving member 23 , and the driving member 23 drives the blocking member 22 to move by driving the magnetic driving portion.

[0042] Thus, when the temperature of the sample stage 125 is lower than the preset temperature, the controller controls the driving member 23 to drive the blocking member 22 to block the connecting hole 211 according to the detection signal of the temperature detection member 126, so that the cooling medium in the conveying space 129 cannot enter the cooling space 128, and the cooling medium cannot exchange heat with the sample stage 125. Compared with the prior art, the heating power of the heating member 127 can be reduced, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the thermostat 100.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, a first bracket 212 is provided on the end wall of the partition 21 close to the cooling space 128, and a second bracket 213 is provided on the end wall of the partition 21 away from the cooling space 128, that is, along the height direction of the thermostat 100, the first bracket 212 is located at the upper end wall of the partition 21, and the second bracket 213 is located at the lower end wall of the partition 21, the driving member 23 is provided on the first bracket 212, the blocking member 22 includes a first blocking portion 221 and a connecting portion 222, the first blocking portion 221 is connected and cooperated with the outer peripheral wall of the upper end of the connecting portion 222, the first blocking portion 221 is suitable for blocking the connecting hole 211, the lower end of the connecting portion 222 passes through the second bracket 213 and is slidably arranged on the second bracket 213, the first elastic member 223 can be elastically deformed and arranged between the first blocking portion 221 and the second bracket 213, and the first elastic member 223 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting portion 222, and the driving member 23 is transmission-connected with the connecting portion 222.

[0044] Specifically, when the driving member 23 drives the connecting part 222 to drive the first blocking part 221 to move away from the partition 21, the first blocking part 221 compresses the first elastic member 223. When the driving member 23 drives the connecting part 222 to drive the first blocking part 221 to move close to the partition 21, the first elastic member 223 assists in driving the first blocking part 221 to move close to the partition 21, and when the first blocking part 221 blocks the connecting hole 211, the first elastic member 223 applies a force toward the partition 21 to the first blocking part 221, so that the first blocking part 221 can fit tightly with the inner wall of the connecting hole 211, thereby improving the sealing effect between the first blocking part 221 and the connecting hole 211, avoiding the cooling medium from entering the cooling space 128 through the gap between the first blocking part 221 and the connecting hole 211 as much as possible, and avoiding heat exchange between the cooling medium and the sample stage 125 when the heating member 127 heats the sample stage 125. It should be noted that when the first blocking portion 221 blocks the communicating hole 211 , the first elastic member 223 is in a compressed state.

[0045] In some specific embodiments, the first elastic member 223 may be a spring or the like.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, the blocking member 22 may further include a second blocking portion 224, the connecting portion 222 is provided with a stop portion 225, the stop portion 225 is located on the side of the second bracket 213 away from the first bracket 212, the second blocking portion 224 is slidably sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the connecting portion 222, and the second blocking portion 224 is located on the side of the stop portion 225 away from the second bracket 213, that is, along the height direction of the thermostat 100, the stop portion 225 is located below the second bracket 213, the second blocking portion 224 is sleeved on the lower end of the connecting portion 222, and the second blocking portion 224 is located at the stop portion 225, the second blocking portion 224 is suitable for moving along the connecting portion 222 towards or away from the second bracket 213, and the end of the output channel 123 connected to the conveying space 129 is located at the lower end wall of the conveying space 129, the second elastic member 226 can be elastically deformed and arranged between the second blocking portion 224 and the stop portion 225, and the second elastic member 226 is sleeved on the outer side of the connecting portion 222, the second blocking portion 224 is suitable for being opposite to the output channel 123 and suitable for blocking the output channel 123, and the driving member 23 drives the connecting portion 222 to drive the second blocking portion 224 to move towards or away from the output channel 123.

[0047] Furthermore, when the first blocking portion 221 blocks the connecting hole 211, the second blocking portion 224 opens the output channel 123; when the first blocking portion 221 opens the connecting hole 211, the second blocking portion 224 blocks the output channel 123. Specifically, when the driving member 23 drives the connecting portion 222 to drive the first blocking portion 221 to move away from the partition 21, the driving member 23 drives the connecting portion 222 to drive the second blocking portion 224 to move closer to the output channel 123. The second blocking portion 224 abuts against the lower end wall of the conveying space 129 and blocks the output channel 123. All cooling medium in the conveying space 129 enters the cooling space 128 through the connecting hole 211, thereby increasing the speed at which the cooling medium cools the sample stage 125, increasing the cooling speed of the sample stage 125, and further improving the user experience of the thermostat 100.

[0048] Furthermore, when the driving member 23 drives the connecting part 222 to drive the second blocking part 224 to move close to the output channel 123, the connecting part 222 synchronously drives the second elastic member 226 to move close to the output channel 123. When the second blocking part 224 abuts against the lower end wall of the conveying space 129 and blocks the output channel 123, the second elastic member 226 is compressed, and the second elastic member 226 applies a force toward the output channel 123 to the second blocking part 224, so that the second blocking part 224 fits tightly against the lower end wall of the conveying space 129, thereby minimizing the cooling medium in the conveying space 129 from entering the output channel 123 through the gap between the second blocking part 224 and the lower end wall of the conveying space 129.

[0049] Moreover, when the driving member 23 drives the connecting part 222 to drive the first blocking part 221 to move closer to the partition 21, the driving member 23 drives the connecting part 222 to drive the second blocking part 224 to move away from the output channel 123, and the first blocking part 221 blocks the connecting hole 211, and all the cooling medium in the conveying space 129 flows out of the conveying space 129 through the output channel 123.

[0050] It should be noted that when the second blocking portion 224 does not block the output channel 123 , the second elastic member 226 is in a compressed state.

[0051] In some specific embodiments, the second elastic member 226 may be a spring or the like.

[0052] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments of the present application, a limiting portion 227 is provided on the end wall of the connecting portion 222 away from the second bracket 213, and the limiting portion 227 is located on the side of the second blocking portion 224 away from the second bracket 213. That is, along the height direction of the thermostat 100, the limiting portion 227 is provided on the lower end wall of the connecting portion 222, and the second blocking portion 224 is located between the stop portion 225 and the limiting portion 227. When the second blocking portion 224 blocks the output channel 123, the limiting portion 227 extends into the output channel 123.

[0053] In addition, the limiting portion 227 is suitable for limiting cooperation with the second blocking portion 224. Specifically, when the driving member 23 drives the second blocking portion 224 to move away from the output channel 123, the second elastic member 226 applies a force toward the output channel 123 to the second blocking portion 224, and the second blocking portion 224 and the limiting portion 227 are stopped and limitedly cooperated, thereby preventing the second blocking portion 224 from detaching from the connecting portion 222 and preventing the second blocking portion 224 from failing to block the output channel 123, thereby improving the working reliability of the thermostat 100.

[0054] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, the first bracket 212 is provided with a guide rod 2121, and the end wall of the sealing member 22 close to the cooling space 128 is provided with a guide hole 228, and the guide hole 228 is configured as a blind hole. Specifically, along the height direction of the thermostat 100, the guide hole 228 is located on the upper end wall of the connecting portion 222, and the guide hole 228 is opposite to the guide rod 2121, and the guide hole 228 is extended along the height direction of the thermostat 100, the guide rod 2121 extends into the guide hole 228, and the guide rod 2121 is guided and matched with the guide hole 228.

[0055] By means of the guiding cooperation between the guide rod 2121 and the guide hole 228, the connection part 222 can be prevented from deviating from the preset motion trajectory, the connection part 222 can be prevented from being unable to drive the first blocking part 221 to block the connecting hole 211, and the connection part 222 can be prevented from being unable to drive the second blocking part 224 to block the output channel 123, thereby further improving the working reliability of the thermostat 100.

[0056] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments of the present application, a one-way valve 1241 is provided in the discharge channel 124, and the cooling medium in the cooling space 128 flows into the output channel 123 through the one-way valve 1241, and the cooling medium in the output channel 123 cannot flow into the cooling space 128 through the one-way valve 1241, thereby preventing the cooling medium in the output channel 123 from flowing into the cooling space 128 and exchanging heat with the sample stage 125 when the heating element 127 heats the sample stage 125, thereby preventing the cooling medium from interfering with the heating element 127 in heating the sample stage 125, and thereby improving the working reliability of the thermostat 100.

[0057] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, the thermostat 100 may further include: an anti-radiation shield 3, which is arranged in the shell 1 and is sleeved on the outer side of the cold head 12. The anti-radiation shield 3 is used to prevent thermal radiation. Specifically, the external environment will transmit thermal radiation into the shell 1. When the preset temperature of the sample stage 125 is low, the thermal radiation transmitted from the external environment to the shell 1 will have a greater impact on the temperature of the sample stage 125. The anti-radiation shield 3 can prevent the thermal radiation transmitted from the external environment to the sample stage 125 as much as possible, thereby avoiding the sample stage 125 from being affected by the thermal radiation in the external environment as much as possible, thereby improving the temperature stability of the sample stage 125, and avoiding excessive temperature fluctuations of the sample stage 125 that lead to deviations in the experimental results of the parts.

[0058] In some specific embodiments, the preset temperature of the sample stage 125 may be -268.15°C.

[0059] Furthermore, the shell 1 can be provided with a vacuum hole, and the vacuum hole is connected to a vacuum pump, and the vacuum pump is used to suck the gas in the shell 1 to make the shell 1 in a vacuum state. The vacuum environment can reduce the propagation of heat radiation, thereby reducing the impact of environmental heat radiation on the sample stage 125, and further improving the temperature stability of the sample stage 125.

[0060] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the housing 1 is provided with a transmission portion 13, which is opposite to the sample stage 125, and light passes through the transmission portion 13 to illuminate the part. By providing the transmission portion 13 on the housing 1, when an optical experiment is required on the part, the tester aligns the optical testing device with the transmission portion 13, and the optical testing device emits light to the part, thereby achieving the technical effect of performing an optical experiment on the part and improving the user experience of the thermostat 100.

[0061] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5In some embodiments of the present application, the housing 1 includes a first shell 14, a second shell 15 and a support base 16. Along the height direction of the thermostat 100, the support base 16 is arranged at one end of the first shell 14, and the second shell 15 is arranged at the other end of the first shell 14, that is, the second shell 15 is located above the first shell 14, the support base 16 is located below the first shell 14, and the support base 16 is suitable for being installed on a mounting plane.

[0062] In some specific embodiments, the installation plane may be a workbench surface, but the present application is not limited thereto, and the installation plane may also be the ground, etc.

[0063] A quick release clamp 17 is arranged between the first shell 14 and the second shell 15 and between the first shell 14 and the support seat 16. The quick release clamp 17 is used to lock or unlock the first shell 14 and the second shell 15, and to lock or unlock the first shell 14 and the support seat 16. The first shell 14, the second shell 15 and the support seat 16 are sealed with each other.

[0064] When parts need to be replaced, the tester can quickly unlock the first shell 14 and the second shell 15 through the quick-release clamp 17, and then the tester removes the radiation protection screen 3 to replace the parts. After completing the replacement of the parts, the tester quickly locks the first shell 14 and the second shell 15 through the quick-release clamp 17. This arrangement can shorten the time for the tester to install and remove the first shell 14 and the second shell 15, thereby improving the testing efficiency of the parts and improving the user experience of the thermostat 100.

[0065] Furthermore, when the cold head 12 needs to be repaired, the maintenance personnel can quickly unlock the first shell 14 and the second shell 15, and quickly unlock the first shell 14 and the support seat 16 through the quick-release clamp 17, and then the maintenance personnel can remove the radiation protection screen 3, and the maintenance personnel can repair the cold head 12. After the maintenance of the cold head 12 is completed, the maintenance personnel quickly lock the first shell 14 and the second shell 15, and quickly lock the first shell 14 and the support seat 16 through the quick-release clamp 17. Such a setting can shorten the time for the maintenance personnel to install and remove the first shell 14 and the second shell 15 and the first shell 14 and the support seat 16, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of the maintenance personnel and improving the user experience of the thermostat 100.

[0066] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5In some embodiments of the present application, the quick-release clamp 17 includes a plurality of clamping members 171 and a plurality of hinged members 172, and the plurality of clamping members 171 and the plurality of hinged members 172 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the shell 1, and the plurality of clamping members 171 are arranged around the outer peripheral wall of the shell 1, and a hinged member 172 is pivotally connected between any two adjacent clamping members 171, and the clamping member 171 is suitable for clamping the edge of the top of the first shell 14 and the edge of the bottom of the second shell 15, as well as clamping the edge of the bottom of the first shell 14 and the edge of the top of the support seat 16, and along the length direction of the quick-release clamp 17, the fastener 173 passes through the clamping member 171 at the head and the clamping member 171 at the tail in sequence among the plurality of clamping members 171 to fixedly connect the corresponding two clamping members 171.

[0067] It should be noted that, among the plurality of clamping members 171 , no hinge member 172 is connected between the clamping member 171 at the front portion and the clamping member 171 at the rear portion.

[0068] Specifically, when the quick-release clamp 17 is not installed to the shell 1, the shape of the quick-release clamp 17 is constructed as a long strip. When the quick-release clamp 17 is installed between the first shell 14 and the second shell 15, multiple clamping parts are arranged between the outer peripheral wall of the upper end of the first shell 14 and the outer peripheral wall of the lower end of the second shell 15. Multiple clamping parts clamp the edge of the upper end of the first shell 14 and the edge of the lower end of the second shell 15, thereby achieving the technical effect of locking the first shell 14 and the second shell 15, and the clamping part 171 located at the head and the clamping part 171 located at the tail of the multiple clamping parts 171 are fixedly connected by the fastener 173, so as to achieve the technical effect of fixing the quick-release clamp 17 between the first shell 14 and the second shell 15, and prevent the multiple clamping parts from moving away from the first shell 14 and the second shell 15, so as to avoid the clamping parts from being unable to clamp the edge of the upper end of the first shell 14 and the edge of the lower end of the second shell 15.

[0069] When the quick-release clamp 17 is installed between the first shell 14 and the second shell 15, multiple clamping parts are arranged between the outer peripheral wall of the lower end of the first shell 14 and the outer peripheral wall of the upper end of the support seat 16, and multiple clamping parts clamp the edge of the lower end of the first shell 14 and the edge of the upper end of the support seat 16, thereby achieving the technical effect of locking the first shell 14 and the support seat 16.

[0070] Furthermore, by loosening the fastener 173 to unlock the corresponding two clamps 171, the quick-release clamp 17 can be removed from between the first shell 14 and the second shell 15 and between the first shell 14 and the support seat 16, thereby achieving the technical effect of unlocking the first shell 14 and the second shell 15 and unlocking the first shell 14 and the support seat 16.

[0071] In some specific embodiments, the fastener 173 may be a screw or a bolt.

[0072] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
