[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below. Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0028] The utility model provides a thermostat assembly, comprising:

[0029] The thermostat seat has a chamber formed inside, and a side wall of the chamber is provided with a slot along the circumference;

[0030] The thermostat assembly is arranged in the chamber, and a block that cooperates with the slot is arranged on the outer periphery of the thermostat assembly. A spring is arranged between the bottom of the chamber and the thermostat assembly. The spring applies a force to the outside of the thermostat seat to the thermostat assembly, so that the block is engaged with the slot.

[0031] Specifically, the thermostat assembly includes a thermostat seat, a thermostat assembly and a spring. The spring and the thermostat assembly are installed in the thermostat seat in sequence, and the block of the thermostat assembly is allowed to enter the slot by squeezing the spring. Then, the thermostat assembly is rotated to engage the block and the slot. When the thermostat assembly is rotated into place, the spring is no longer squeezed. Supported by the thermostat seat, the spring applies an outward force to the thermostat assembly in the opposite direction, so that the block and the slot fit and squeeze each other, thereby preventing the two from rotating relative to each other and preventing the block from slipping out of the slot.

[0032] Optionally, the thermostat seat is L-shaped, with openings at both ends of the thermostat seat, the openings being connected to the chamber, and the thermostat assembly is arranged at one end and a corner of the thermostat seat.

[0033] Specifically, antifreeze flows in the thermostat seat, and the antifreeze passes through the chamber in the thermostat seat. When the thermostat assembly is connected to the engine and the temperature rises to the set temperature, the thermostat will change its own state, thereby changing the flow direction of the antifreeze, and further cooling the engine in a circulation process.

[0034] Optionally, a mounting seat is provided at a corner of the thermostat seat, and the mounting seat fits with the outer peripheral surface of the spring.

[0035] Optionally, a guide groove is provided at one end of the thermostat assembly facing the corner of the thermostat seat, and the spring cooperates with the guide groove.

[0036] Specifically, the spring is first installed in the thermostat seat, and the spring is installed in the position of the mounting seat. The outer periphery of the spring fits with the inner periphery of the mounting seat, thereby limiting the position of the spring and facilitating the subsequent installation of the thermostat assembly. The thermostat assembly and the spring are installed in a center, so that after the block and the slot are snapped into place, the spring can apply an axial force to the thermostat assembly to prevent the thermostat assembly from rotating. In addition, a guide groove is provided on the inner side of the thermostat assembly, and the guide groove also limits and fixes the spring. In this way, the guide groove is used in conjunction with the mounting seat, so that the elastic force of the spring can be transmitted to the thermostat assembly along the axial direction of the thermostat assembly to prevent the thermostat assembly from rotating after being snapped into place.

[0037] Optionally, a plurality of slots are circumferentially arranged on the inner wall of one end of the thermostat seat, and the engaging surfaces of the slots face the corners of the thermostat seat.

[0038] Specifically, a plurality of card slots are evenly arranged on the inner wall of the thermostat seat, so that a plurality of card blocks of the thermostat assembly are respectively engaged with the card slots, thereby decomposing the elastic force of the spring on the thermostat assembly to prevent the card blocks from damaging the card slots, thereby causing the thermostat assembly to detach from the thermostat.

[0039] Optionally, at least three clamping blocks are provided, an extension block is provided between the clamping block and the thermostat assembly, the extension block is provided at one end of the thermostat assembly at a corner facing the thermostat seat, and the clamping block is provided on one side of the extension block facing the periphery of the thermostat assembly.

[0040] Specifically, the clamping block is arranged at one end of the thermostat assembly at the corner facing the thermostat seat, and the clamping block is connected to the thermostat assembly through an extension block, and the clamping block protrudes from the outside of the extension block, so that when the spring applies elastic force to the thermostat assembly, the clamping block is clamped and fitted with the inner end face of the slot, and the end face of the thermostat assembly facing the clamping block is spaced a small distance from the outer end face of the slot, thereby ensuring that the displacement of the thermostat assembly in the axial direction will not be too large, and avoiding reserving too large an installation and operation space for the thermostat assembly in the thermostat seat.

[0041] Optionally, the card slot is provided with a notch facing the card block, the width of the notch is not less than the width of the card block, and the angle of the card slot along the circumferential direction is 20° to 30°.

[0042] Specifically, when the thermostat assembly squeezes the spring and causes the clamping block to enter the clamping slot, the clamping block and the clamping slot can be clamped together by simply rotating the thermostat assembly at a small angle, thereby improving the convenience of assembly.

[0043] Optionally, a groove is provided at the end of one end of the thermostat seat, a sealing ring is provided in the groove, and the sealing ring protrudes from the end surface of the thermostat seat.

[0044] Specifically, a sealing ring is arranged at the end of the thermostat seat, so that after the thermostat assembly is connected to the antifreeze liquid pipe, the sealing performance of the water pipe connection is improved.

[0045] The utility model also provides a car, comprising the above-mentioned thermostat assembly.
