Through the plug-in connection, the sensing element 2 can be quickly fixed on the extension seat 1, reducing the installation time. The rotating portion 2.2 of the sensing element 2 is also connected to the temperature control knob 6 by plugging. In this way, the connection between the temperature control knob 6 and the sensing element 2 is simple, clear, convenient and fast. The valve stem 4.1 extends along the extension direction and passes through the sensing element 2, the temperature control knob 6 and the stopper 3 in turn. Through this plug-in method, the valve stem 4.1 can be tightly connected with other components to form a reliable assembly structure. The wear-resistant mechanism 5 is inserted into the annular groove 4.1.1 of the valve stem 4.1 by plugging to limit the stopper 3 axially. This method simplifies the assembly process and ensures the stability of the connection between the stopper 3 and the valve stem 4.1. By means of plugging and limiting, the assembly structure makes the connection between the various components simpler and faster, which can improve the production and installation efficiency. Manufacturers can more conveniently carry out large-scale production and provide more efficient installation services.

In this way, the second plug-in parts 3.1 can be inserted into the second slots 2.1.1 to form a reliable connection. The connection method of the fixing part 2.1 and the stopper 3 ensures the stability and reliability of the assembly structure. The design of the slots and the plug-in parts makes assembly easier and reduces the risk of loosening and misalignment.
[0031] The specific plug-in structure of the rotating part 2.2 and the temperature adjustment knob 6 is as follows: a plurality of first slots 2.2.1 are provided on the outer wall of the rotating part 2.2, and an annular flange 6.1 is provided radially on the inner wall of the temperature adjustment knob 6. The annular flange 6.1 abuts against the end face of the rotating part 2.2, and a plurality of first plug-in parts 6.2 are formed by extending along the axial direction. In this way, the first plug-in part 6.2 can be inserted into the first slot 2.2.1 to realize the connection between the rotating part 2.2 and the temperature adjustment knob 6. The connection method between the rotating part 2.2 and the temperature adjustment knob 6 ensures the stability and reliability of the assembly structure. The design of the slot and the plug-in part makes assembly easier and reduces the risk of loosening and misalignment.
