DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the utility model but are not used to limit the scope of the utility model. Example
[0027] A temperature sensor installation structure, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the temperature sensor is installed on the fluid pipeline 100 through the installation structure 200. The fluid pipeline 100 has a fluid channel, and the purpose of the installed temperature sensor is to detect the temperature of the fluid in the fluid channel.
[0028] In this embodiment, the mounting structure 200 includes a body 21 mounted on the fluid pipeline 100 and an elastic fixing member 22. The body 21 is cylindrical and has a mounting channel 21a communicating with the fluid channel of the fluid pipeline 100. The body 21 is fixed to the outer surface of the fluid pipeline 100 by welding, screw fixing, etc. A small through hole is opened on the fluid pipeline 100, and the temperature sensor is installed in the mounting channel 21a. The front end extends into the fluid channel through the through hole to contact the fluid and detect the fluid temperature.
[0029] In this embodiment, the entire mounting structure 200 is mounted on the water outlet pipe of the gas water heater.
[0030] In a specific embodiment, two strip-shaped mounting slots 21 b are provided on the wall of the main body 21 . The two mounting slots 21 b are symmetrically arranged around the circumference of the cylindrical main body 21 , and the lengths of the two mounting slots 21 b are equal.
[0031] In a specific embodiment, the elastic fixing member 22 is as follows: Figure 4As shown, it includes a first fixed arm 22a, a second fixed arm 22b, and a connecting arm 22c connecting the first fixed arm 22a and the second fixed arm 22b. When an external force acts on the first fixed arm 22a and the second fixed arm 22b, the distance between the two can be reduced. The length of the mounting slot 21b is designed so that when the elastic fixing member 22 is inserted into the two mounting slots 21b, the first fixed arm 22a and the second fixed arm 22b are in a compressed state. In this way, the first fixed arm 22a and the second fixed arm 22b are compressed, and the two have a rebound force in opposite directions. With the help of this rebound force, it is ensured that the elastic fixing member 22 will not detach from the mounting slot 21b, thereby ensuring the stability of the temperature sensor installation.
[0032] In a specific embodiment, the free ends of the first fixing arm 22a and the second fixing arm 22b are provided with barbs 22d, which can further prevent the elastic fixing member 22 from being separated from the mounting slot 21b, thereby increasing the stability of the installation. The length of the first fixing arm 22a and the second fixing arm 22b is slightly greater than the maximum distance between the two mounting slots 21b, and the elastic fixing member 22 will not be separated from the mounting slot 21b from one end thereof.
[0033] In one embodiment, the temperature sensor is Figure 5 As shown, the whole is roughly cylindrical, including a functional part 31 at the front end, a widened part 32 located behind the functional part 31, and a tightening part 33 located behind the widened part 32. The diameter of the widened part 32 is larger than the diameter of the functional part 31 and also larger than the diameter of the tightening part 33. In the installed state, the lower part of the widened part 32 abuts against the outer surface of the fluid pipeline 100, and the elastic fixing part 22 abuts against the upper surface of the widened part 32, thereby limiting the up and down movement of the temperature sensor. The multi-stage design is adopted to facilitate the fixed installation of the installation part to be installed by the installation structure 200, simplifying the assembly process. The diameter of the widened part 32 is larger than the length of the two installation slots 21b.
[0034] In a specific embodiment, a sealing ring 400 is sleeved on the functional portion 31 of the component to be installed. In the installed state, the sealing ring is located between the functional portion 31 and the outer surface of the fluid pipeline 100 .
