[0021] The present utility model discloses a vehicle water tank temperature detection mechanism. The following combines with the preferred embodiment (Embodiment 1) and refers to the Figures 1 to 6 , to further describe the specific embodiments of the present utility model.

[0022] Refer to the Figures 1 to 6 ,Figures 1 to 5 The water tank temperature detection mechanism for vehicles is shown from different perspectives respectively. Figure 6 The structure of the indicator (with the cover plate hidden) is shown.

[0023] Embodiment 1.

[0024] Preferably, the water tank temperature detection mechanism for vehicles includes:

[0025] An indicator 100, the indicator 110 includes a rotating rod 110, a bottom plate 120 and a pointer 150. One end of the rotating rod 110 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 120. One end of the rotating rod 110 is internally connected to the pointer 150 and fixedly connected to the pointer 150. The bottom plate 120 is provided with an annular portion 130. The inner surface of the annular portion 130 has a plurality of indicating areas with different colors. When the rotating rod 110 drives the pointer 150 to rotate, and then the pointer 150 points to a certain indicating area, the state of the water temperature in the water tank can be characterized according to the color of the indicating area.

[0026] A probe 200, the probe 200 is provided with a main body section 210 and a shrinkage section 220 integrally formed with the main body section 210. The other end of the rotating rod 110 extends into the main body section 210 (until the bimetallic strip placed in the shrinkage section 220). The shrinkage section 220 and a part of the main body section 210 extend into the water tank for vehicles (not shown in the figure). The indicator 100 and a part of the main body section 210 are externally placed outside the water tank for vehicles, which is convenient for observation.

[0027] A fixator 300, the fixator 300 includes a clamp 310, and the clamp 310 is detachably connected to the main body section 210. The fixator 300 abuts against the outer surface of the water tank for vehicles, so that the water tank temperature detection mechanism is relatively fixed with the water tank for vehicles.

[0028] Among them, the indicator 100 further includes a rod sleeve 111. The rod sleeve 111 is sleeved on the rotating rod 110, fixedly connected to the bottom plate 120 and rotatably connected to the rotating rod 110. The rotating rod 110 is further limited by the rod sleeve 111. The rod sleeve 111 is equivalent to an extension of the bottom plate 120, further limiting the rotation of the rotating rod 110 relative to the bottom plate 120 and the rod sleeve 111.

[0029] Among them, the indicator 100 further includes a cover plate 140. The cover plate 140 is embedded in the annular portion 130 and detachably connected to the annular portion 130. When it is necessary to observe whether the water temperature in the water tank exceeds the limit, the cover plate 140 can be removed to directly observe the indicating area pointed by the pointer 150, and then it can be known whether the water temperature in the water tank exceeds the limit according to the color of the indicating area.

[0030] Among them, the inner surface of the annular part 130 has a first indication area 131, a second indication area 132, a third indication area 133, and a fourth indication area 134; the color of the first indication area 131 is preferably green, the color of the second indication area 132 is preferably yellow, the color of the third indication area 133 is preferably orange, and the color of the fourth indication area 134 is preferably red.

[0031] Among them, the pointer 150 is provided with a main body part 151 and an extension part 152 integrally formed with the main body part 151. One end of the rotating rod 110 is internally connected to the main body part 151, and one end of the rotating rod 110 is fixedly connected to the main body part 151.

[0032] Among them, the fixer 300 further includes an adjustment knob 320. The adjustment knob 320 is provided with an adjustment knob rod part 321, and the adjustment knob rod part 321 is connected to the clamp 310; so that the adjustment knob 320 can adjust the tightness of the clamp 310 relative to the rotating rod 110.

[0033] Among them, the cover plate 140 is made of a non-transparent material.

[0034] Embodiment 2.

[0035] The technical solution of Embodiment 2 is different from that of Embodiment 1 in that the cover plate 140 of Embodiment 2 is made of a transparent material; so that it is no longer necessary to remove the cover plate 140 to directly observe the state of the water temperature in the water tank indicated by the pointer 150.

[0036] It is worth mentioning that technical features such as the working principle of the bimetallic strip driving the rotation of the rotating rod involved in the patent application of the present utility model should be regarded as the prior art. The specific structures, working principles, and possible control methods and spatial arrangement methods of these technical features can be selected conventionally in the art, and should not be regarded as the inventive points of the patent of the present utility model. The patent of the present utility model will not be further specifically elaborated.

[0037] For those skilled in the art, it is still possible to modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
