[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The utility model provides a thermostat with a protective function: comprising a thermostat body 1, a display screen 2 and a control button 3 are provided on the front of the thermostat body 1, two horizontal plates 4 are fixed on the front of the thermostat body 1, and a slider 5 is fixed on the side where the two horizontal plates 4 are close to each other;

[0029] In order to achieve the purpose of protecting the thermostat body 1, a protective structure 6 is provided on the front of the thermostat body 1. The protective structure 6 includes two mounting seats 601 fixedly connected to the front of the thermostat body 1, a first spring 602 is fixedly provided on the top inner wall of the mounting seat 601, and two limit blocks 603 are movably provided in the mounting seat 601. Rectangular grooves are provided on the inner walls on both sides of the mounting seat 601, and rectangular blocks are fixed on both sides of the limit block 603. The rectangular blocks and the rectangular grooves are movably connected. The same connecting plate 604 is fixed between the two limit blocks 603, the bottom of the first spring 602 is fixedly connected to the limit block 603, and the same protective cover 605 is fixed on the two groups of limit blocks 603. A plurality of mounting holes are opened on the front of the protective cover 605. There are three raised strips on the front, and the three raised strips are all in an arc shape. A sponge layer 606 is fixed on the back of the protective cover 605. The sponge layer 606 can fit with the display screen 2 during the movement of the protective cover 605 to wipe off the dust on its surface for the purpose of cleaning. There are slide grooves on both sides of the protective cover 605, and the slide grooves and the sliders 5 are movably connected. When operation is required, the protective cover 605 is pulled up to expose the control buttons 3 and the display screen 2. After the operation is completed, the force on the protective cover 605 is stopped. Under the thrust of the first spring 602, the protective cover 605 is restored to its position and re-covered on the surface of the thermostat. The setting of the protective cover 605 can protect the display screen 2 and the control buttons 3, and can reasonably prevent water stains from entering the device or the screen from being scratched by accidentally touching the buttons;

[0030] In order to achieve the purpose of buffering protection, a buffer structure 7 is fixedly provided on the front of the protective structure 6 through multiple mounting holes. The buffer structure 7 includes four telescopic rods 701 fixedly connected to the mounting holes. The output ends of the four telescopic rods 701 are fixedly provided with the same buffer plate 702. A second spring 703 is sleeved on the telescopic rod 701. The two ends of the second spring 703 are respectively fitted with the inner wall of the mounting hole and the back of the buffer plate 702. A buffer layer 704 is fixedly provided on the back of the buffer plate 702. The buffer layer 704 is made of latex and has a thickness of five millimeters. If squeezed by external force, the buffer plate 702 will squeeze multiple telescopic rods 701, the second spring 703 and the buffer layer 704. The coordinated use of the second spring 703, the telescopic rod 701 and the buffer layer 704 can achieve the purpose of buffering, which can remove part of the pressure applied by the outside world and reduce the probability of the protective cover 605 being squeezed, deformed or damaged.

[0031] Working principle: When the thermostat needs to be operated, press the surface of the multiple raised strips with your fingers and push upward to drive the protective cover 605. The protective cover 605 drives the two sets of limit blocks 603 to slide in the mounting seat 601 and squeeze the first spring 602. When the protective cover 605 moves upward, it drives the sponge layer 606. The sponge layer 606 fits with the display screen 2, which can wipe and clean the display screen 2 and remove the dust on the surface of the display screen 2. The slider 5 slides in the slide groove on one side of the protective cover 605 to improve the stability of the protective cover 605 when moving and prevent it from being loose, skewed, and causing jamming. When the display screen 2 and the control button 3 are fully exposed, the thermostat can be operated. After the adjustment is completed, stop applying force to the protective cover 605. Under the rebound force of the first spring 602, the protective cover 605 is restored to its position and re-covers the surface of the thermostat. The setting of the protective cover 605 can protect the display screen 2 and the control button 3, and can reasonably prevent water stains from entering the device or the screen from being scratched by accidentally touching the button. If squeezed by external force, the buffer plate 702 will squeeze the multiple telescopic rods 701, the second spring 703 and the buffer layer 704. The coordinated use of the second spring 703, the telescopic rod 701 and the buffer layer 704 can achieve the purpose of buffering, which can remove part of the pressure applied by the outside world and reduce the probability of the protective cover 605 being squeezed, deformed or damaged.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
