[0021] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Embodiment, the utility model provides a lock type thermostat, see Figure 1-Figure 4, including a shell 1 with an opening at one end, an insulating base 2, a bottom plate 3, a bimetallic strip 4, a first pin 5, a second pin 6 and a blocking block 9, the bottom plate is fixed on the insulating base and is provided with a static contact 7, the bimetallic strip is provided with a moving contact 8 cooperating with the static contact, the insulating base, the bottom plate and the bimetallic strip 4 are all located in the shell; one end of the first pin passes through the insulating base and is connected to the bottom plate, and one end of the second pin passes through the insulating base and is connected to the bimetallic strip. It should be noted that the connection between the second pin and the bimetallic strip here can be direct or indirect, and no specific limitation is made here; a barb 9-1 is provided on the blocking block, and a card hole 1-1 is provided near the opening of the shell, the barb is inserted into the card hole to fix the blocking block at the opening of the shell, so that the blocking block is against the insulating base, and the other end of the first pin and the other end of the second pin both extend out of the blocking block.

[0023] When assembling the above-mentioned lock-type thermostat, the integrated structure formed by the insulating base, the bottom plate and the bimetallic strip is inserted into the shell, and then the blocking block is inserted along the opening of the shell to support the insulating base and then the barb is inserted into the card hole. This structure does not require glue filling operation during assembly. During the assembly process, no harmful gases to the human body will be generated due to the volatilization of molten colloid, which will cause damage to the health of workers, and no colloid will penetrate into the shell to block or even interrupt the contact between the static contact and the moving contact.

[0024] In the above embodiment, the clamping hole can be replaced by a clamping slot. By using the clamping slot instead of the clamping hole, the sealing performance of the housing is better. However, during assembly, the worker needs to judge by feeling whether the barb is inserted into the clamping slot.

[0027] As an implementation mode, the blocking block and the insulating base are separately provided. During manufacturing, holes for the pins to pass through are provided on the blocking block so as to lead out the pins.

[0028] As an implementation mode, the second pin and the connecting piece may be integrally provided; and the first pin and the bottom plate may be integrally provided.
