Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of temperature control devices, and in particular to a temperature control valve head. Background Art

[0002] The self-operated temperature control valve head is an energy-saving product that does not require external energy but relies on the temperature change of the controlled medium to automatically adjust. It integrates measurement, execution and control functions and is suitable for various heat exchange conditions with steam, hot water, hot oil and other media.

[0003] In the related technology, there is a temperature control valve head with publication number CN202946753U, which includes a knob, a thermistor, a spring, a support rod and a base, wherein the knob is threadedly connected to the base; the thermistor is arranged in the knob, supported by the support rod and the spring, and the bottom of the spring is a nut on the valve body; the support rod supports the valve core of the valve body; the up and down movement of the support rod drives the valve core to move to realize the flow control of the liquid in the valve body; the thermistor is a cylindrical body with a countersunk hole at the bottom.

[0004] Since the temperature control valve head usually needs to have good sealing performance to prevent medium leakage, in order to achieve this requirement, the fit between the knob and the valve body may need to be tighter, which may also lead to increased damping. The outer surface of the knob on the valve head is designed to be smooth to provide a smoother and smoother touch.

[0005] When the user adjusts the working state of the valve head by rotating the knob, although the outer surface of the knob is smooth, due to excessive damping, the user will feel greater resistance when turning the knob. The smooth surface may also cause relative sliding between the staff's palm and the outer surface of the knob, which increases the difficulty and inconvenience of operation. Long-term operation may cause hand fatigue of the user and even affect the accuracy and stability of the operation. There is room for improvement. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to provide a temperature control valve head to solve the problem in the above-mentioned related technology that the outer surface of the knob is smooth and the damping is too large when the knob is installed, which makes it difficult to rotate and adjust the knob.

[0007] The present application provides a temperature control valve head adopting the following technical solution:
