Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thermostats, and particularly relates to a thermostat with a plug adapter. Background Art

[0002] A thermostat refers to a series of automatic control components that, according to the temperature change of the working environment, undergo physical deformation inside the switch, thereby generating certain special effects and causing on or off actions. It is also called a temperature control switch, a temperature protector, or a temperature controller. The temperature protector transmits the temperature to the temperature controller, and the temperature controller issues a switch command to control the operation of the device to achieve the ideal temperature and energy-saving effect.

[0003] For the control of gas-fired heating boilers, generally one or more thermostats are set. The thermostats are generally set in the living room or the bedroom for the convenience of controlling the boiler through the thermostats without having to go to the installation position of the boiler for setting. In the prior art, most thermostats need to be equipped with accessories such as power cords and plugs to connect to the power supply. Since the thermostats are placed randomly without a fixed place, such placement is likely to affect the aesthetics and safety. Generally, a household switch base is borrowed for fixation. However, some accessories such as power cords and plugs are likely to be lost when not in use, which will affect the normal use of the subsequent thermostat, or new power cords and plugs need to be reconfigured, increasing the use cost.

[0025] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that when an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be intermediate elements present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly" connected to another element, there are no intermediate elements.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , a thermostat with a plug adapter 20 according to a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. By configuring the plug adapter 20, the thermostat can be directly installed on a power strip or socket, making it safer and more aesthetically pleasing without the need to configure a household switch base for fixation. Specifically, the thermostat includes a thermostat body 10 and a plug adapter 20.

[0027] The thermostat body 10 is the control main body of the whole device. The thermostat body 10 includes a housing 11, a control panel 12 and a protective cover 13 mounted on the housing 11. The housing 11 is generally square-shaped, such as rectangular, square and other structures. A plurality of ventilation holes 110 are provided on opposite sides of the housing 11, and the ventilation holes 110 are evenly distributed. In one embodiment, the ventilation holes 110 are in the shape of long strip holes. In this embodiment, a plurality of mounting posts 111 are further provided on the housing 11, such as 4 mounting posts 111, and the mounting posts 111 are evenly distributed, such as near the four corners of the housing 11, to facilitate the installation of the plug adapter 20.

[0028] The control panel 12 is a touch screen. The control panel 12 is mounted on the front surface of the housing 11. After being powered on, the control panel 12 displays control buttons and display frames. The control buttons are used to set the content in the display frames, and the display frames are used to display some contents such as temperature, time, setting items, etc. When not powered on or not touched, the control panel 12 does not display content. The protective cover 13 is mounted on the back of the housing 11. The protective cover 13 is provided with a first wiring port 130 and a second wiring port 131. The first wiring port 130 and the second wiring port 131 cooperate to connect and / or fix the plug adapter 20 for connecting the power supply. In another embodiment, the protective cover 13 is further provided with a third wiring port 132 and a fourth wiring port 133. The third wiring port 132 and the fourth wiring port 133 cooperate to connect the power supply, so that the thermostat body 10 has multiple ways to connect the power supply. When the plug adapter 20 fails, there are multiple alternative solutions to improve the safety of the equipment.

[0029] The plug adapter 20 is used for connecting the thermostat body 10 and the power supply. The plug adapter 20 is generally square-shaped, such as rectangular, square and other structures. The plug adapter 20 has an inner cavity for accommodating the protective cover 13. In this embodiment, a wiring frame 21 and a plurality of support columns 22 are further provided in the plug adapter 20. A negative electrode insert 23, a positive electrode insert 24 and a ground wire insert 25 are mounted in the wiring frame 21. The negative electrode insert 23 has a first negative terminal and a second negative terminal. The first negative terminal penetrates through one side of the plug adapter 20, and the second negative terminal is used to insert into the first wiring port 130. Similarly, the positive electrode insert 24 has a first positive terminal and a second positive terminal. The first positive terminal penetrates through one side of the plug adapter 20, and the second positive terminal is used to insert into the second wiring port 131. One end of the ground wire insert 25 penetrates through one side of the plug adapter 20. One end of the ground wire insert 25 forms a three-prong structure with the first negative terminal and the first positive terminal on the outside of the plug adapter 20. The second negative terminal and the second positive terminal are respectively electrically connected to the positive and negative wiring positions of the control panel 12 of the thermostat body 10. Among them, the negative electrode insert 23, the positive electrode insert 24 and the ground wire insert 25 are all fixed to the wiring frame 21 by screws.

[0030] In some other embodiments, a first positioning hole, a second positioning hole, and a third positioning hole are further provided in the wiring frame 21. The first positioning hole is used for positioning and fixing the negative electrode insert piece 23, the second positioning hole is used for positioning and fixing the positive electrode insert piece 24, and the third positioning hole is used for positioning and fixing the ground wire insert piece 25. A plurality of anti-slip stripes 26 are further provided on opposite sides of the plug adapter 20, and the anti-slip stripes 26 are evenly distributed. The support columns 22 are evenly distributed, for example, distributed near the four corners of the plug adapter 20. The support columns 22 and the mounting columns 111 are correspondingly arranged, so that after the thermostat body 10 and the plug adapter 20 are closed, they are fixed by screws.

[0031] When installing the above thermostat, first install and fix the insert pieces on the plug adapter 20, then insert the insert pieces on the plug adapter 20 into the wiring ports on the thermostat body 10 correspondingly to further position and connect them, and finally fix them with screws after closing.

[0032] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of concise description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope recorded in this specification.

[0033] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
