[0002] Digital thermostats are widely applicable to the temperature control systems of air-conditioning terminal devices such as central air-conditioning fan coils and fresh air handling units. An air-conditioning thermostat consists of a liquid crystal display panel, a control box, an electric actuator, and a valve body. It adopts a large-screen liquid crystal display. Through the NTC temperature sensor inside the air-conditioning thermostat, the indoor temperature is detected. And it is compared with the temperature set by the user in real time, automatically adjusting the air volume and simultaneously adjusting the flow rate of cold and hot water to keep the indoor temperature constant for the purpose of energy conservation. Existing thermostats can also use signal transmission methods such as Wi-Fi, 5G signals, or Bluetooth for remote control to facilitate early temperature adjustment.

Specific embodiments

[0023] The following further describes the utility model in detail in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] In this embodiment, with reference to Figure 1 -Figure 3 , the intelligent thermostat implemented specifically includes a protective housing 1, a display module 2, and a main control circuit board 3. The display module 2 is arranged at one end of the protective housing 1. A network module is provided on the main control circuit board 3. A knob 4 is rotatably sleeved on the outer side of the protective housing 1. A rotary encoder 5 is provided on the main control circuit board 3. A transmission wheel 6 is provided on the rotary encoder 5 and passes through the protective housing 1 and contacts the inner wall of the knob 4.

[0025] In this embodiment, the transmission wheel 6 adopts a gear structure. The inner wall of the knob 4 is provided with a tooth portion for engaging and cooperating with the transmission wheel 6. When the knob 4 is rotated, the tooth portion on the inner wall of the knob 4 will synchronously drive the transmission wheel 6 to rotate, thereby changing the angular position of the rotary encoder 5, and thus realizing temperature control adjustment.

[0026] Furthermore, the transmission wheel 6 can also be made of rubber material. At that time, the transmission wheel 6 needs to be closely attached to the inner wall of the knob 4 to drive the rotation through the friction of the rubber.

[0027] The display module 2 includes a fixed base 201 and a touch screen display panel 202 installed on the fixed base 201. The fixed base 201 is fitted and installed at one end of the protective housing 1. The touch screen display panel 202 is used to display temperature or other data, and can also control the thermostat by touching the screen.

[0028] A battery 7 and a gyroscope module for electrically connecting with the main control circuit board 3 are arranged in the protective housing 1. When the thermostat is separated from the charging device, the battery 7 can be used to provide power support. The built-in gyroscope module can detect the tilt angle of the thermostat in real time and intelligently adjust the display interface to ensure that users can clearly see the temperature information at different angles.

[0029] Furthermore, a wireless charging coil 8 for electrically connecting with the main control circuit board 3 is arranged at one end of the protective housing. The wireless charging function provides a more convenient charging method for users. There is no need to find a power socket. Just place the thermostat on the charging board to charge.

[0030] In this embodiment, the thermostat realizes seamless connection with the smart home system through the network module (Wi-Fi). Users can remotely control the thermostat through a mobile phone APP or a voice assistant, etc., to achieve a more intelligent home life experience.

[0031] The protective housing 1 is composed of a main body 101 and a bottom cover 102. One side of the bottom cover 102 is connected with a fixing frame 9 through a first magnetic ring 11. An annular groove is arranged on one side of the fixing frame 9, and a wireless charging board 10 is arranged in the middle of the fixing frame 9. During use, the fixing frame 9 can be fixedly installed on an external wall surface or other frames through the annular groove and external screws. The bottom cover 102 is magnetically connected with the fixing frame 9 through the first magnetic ring 11, thereby realizing the fixed placement of the thermostat. Among them, the wireless charging board 10 will be aligned and cooperate with the wireless charging coil 8 to realize wireless charging.

[0032] Furthermore, a plurality of positioning protrusions 901 for fitting and cooperating with the bottom cover 102 are arranged in an annular array on the fixing frame 9. When the thermostat is installed on the fixing frame 9, the positioning protrusions 901 can prevent the protective housing 1 from rotating on the fixing frame 9, which is beneficial to improving the adjustment accuracy of the knob 4.

[0033] Furthermore, a second magnetic ring 12 is arranged around the outer edge of the fixing frame 9. During actual use, due to the arrangement of the first magnetic ring 11 and the second magnetic ring 12, users can easily install the thermostat on different external metal frames without other complex fixing methods, improving the use experience. The second magnetic ring 12 arranged around the outer edge of the fixing frame 9 is used to improve the stability of magnetic adsorption installation.

[0034] The present utility model realizes the control of temperature through the rotation operation of the knob 4, improving the intuitiveness and convenience of user operation. The control method of the knob 4 allows users to intuitively feel the adjustment range of the temperature, avoiding the possible accidental touch phenomenon of the push-button, thereby improving the accuracy of temperature control. Due to the intuitiveness of the knob 4 operation, users can set the required temperature more precisely, reduce unnecessary temperature fluctuations, and thus reduce energy consumption, achieving a more energy-saving effect.
