[0028] Example 1
[0029] Figure 1 It shows a three-dimensional structural diagram of the temperature control device installation structure in the first embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 2 The exploded schematic diagram of the temperature control device installation structure in the first embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , temperature control device installation structure, the temperature control device installation structure includes a connecting bracket 1 and a fastener 4. The connecting bracket 1 connects the temperature control device, and the connecting bracket 1 includes a connecting section 11, a first fixing section 12 and a second fixing section 14. The connecting section 11 is provided with a first fixing hole 111. The second fixing section 14 is provided with a second fixing hole 141. The fastener 4 is arranged on the connecting bracket 1, and the position of the connecting bracket 1 is fixed by the fastener 4. Among them, the second fixing section 14 is bent around the connecting section 11, and the fastener 4 passes through the first fixing hole 111 and the second fixing hole 141 at the same time to fix the bending angle of the second fixing section 14. The connecting section 11 and the second fixing section 14 clamp one temperature control device, and the first fixing section 12 engages another temperature control device. The connecting bracket 1 fixes two temperature control devices at the same time, and is fixed by only one fastener 4, and the connection process is simple. The connecting bracket 1 is fixed by connecting the fastener 4 through the first fixing hole 111, and no additional positioning is required, which further improves the installation efficiency of the temperature control device and thereby improves the production efficiency of the heater with the temperature control device.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 2The first fixing section 12 is provided with a first limiting groove 121, and barbs 122 are provided on the first fixing section 12 in the width direction of the first limiting groove 121. The barbs 122 are arranged in the same direction along the length direction of the first limiting groove 121. One temperature control device is a fuse 2, and the other temperature control device is a thermostat 3. The fuse 2 is clamped by the connecting section 11 and the second fixing section 14. A flange 31 is provided on the side of the thermostat 3, and a snap-fit hole 32 is provided on the flange 31. The first fixing section 12 is fixed in position by snapping the barbs 122 into the snap-fit hole 32. Compared with a screw connection, the snap-fit connection between the first fixing section 12 and the thermostat 3 can be quickly installed and disassembled without the use of tools, reducing production time and production costs. At the same time, the snap-fit connection does not require additional accessories such as nuts and washers, saving more space. The reduction in the number of parts also simplifies the installation steps, further improving the installation efficiency of the temperature control device.
[0031] Please refer to Figure 2 The first fixing section 12 and the second fixing section 14 are relatively arranged on both sides of the connecting section 11. The connecting bracket 1 is fixed to the installation position by the connecting section 11. The first fixing section 12 and the second fixing section 14 are arranged on both sides of the connecting section 11, which can balance the force on the connecting section 11 and make the force on the connecting bracket 1 more balanced.
[0032] Preferably, an elastic segment 13 is disposed between the connecting segment 11 and the first fixing segment 12, and is curved in an arc shape. This elastic segment 13 enhances the ability of the first fixing segment 12 to elastically deform around the connecting segment 11. This allows for greater assembly and dimensional tolerances when the first fixing segment 12 engages the temperature control device, lowering the dimensional accuracy requirements for the connecting bracket 1 and thus reducing the costs of part processing and inspection. This wider tolerance range during production also reduces complexity, shortens adjustments and corrections during assembly, and improves overall production efficiency.
[0033] More preferably, the connecting section 11 is bent to form a second limiting groove 112. After the second fixing section 14 is bent, the opening of the second limiting groove 112 faces the second fixing section 14. The temperature control device held between the connecting section 11 and the second fixing section 14 is placed in the second limiting groove 112, allowing for quick positioning of the temperature control device and improving the stability of the temperature control device held between the connecting section 11 and the second fixing section 14.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 2The fastener 4 includes a screw 42 and a nut 41. The screw 42 passes through the first fixing hole 111 and the second fixing hole 141. The nut 41 is provided on the screw 42. The nut 41 limits the position of the connecting bracket 1 on the screw 42 and the bending angle of the second fixing segment 14. By adjusting the position of the nut 41 on the screw 42, the fixing position of the connecting bracket 1 and the bending angle of the second fixing segment 14 around the connecting segment 11 can be adjusted, thereby conveniently and accurately adjusting the clamping force of the connecting segment 11 and the second fixing segment 14 on the temperature control device.
[0035] Preferably, a gasket 43 is provided between the connecting section 11 and the second fixing section 14. The gasket 43 limits the bending angle of the second fixing section 14 relative to the connecting section 11, thereby preventing the distance between the second fixing section 14 and the connecting section 11 from being too small, thereby preventing the second fixing section 14 and the connecting section 11 from exerting excessive clamping force on the temperature control device and damaging the temperature control device.
[0036] The specific workflow of this utility model is as follows:
[0037] When installing the fuse 2 and thermostat 3, first set the screw 42 on the mounting plane, place the thermostat 3 on the mounting plane, and then move the connecting bracket 1 onto the mounting plane. Now, insert the screw 42 through the first fixing hole 111. Adjust the position of the connecting bracket 1 and the thermostat 3 until the barb 122 engages the engagement hole 32. Then, place the fuse 2 in the second limiting groove 112 and press the second fixing section 14. At this point, the screw 42 simultaneously passes through the first fixing hole 111 and the second fixing hole 141. Screw the nut 41 onto the screw 42, allowing the nut 41 to squeeze the second fixing section 14 toward the first fixing section 12 until the second fixing section 14 and the connecting section 11 are close enough to clamp the fuse 2, completing the installation of the fuse 2 and thermostat 3.
[0038] Example 2
[0039] Figure 3 FIG1 shows a schematic diagram of the vertical cross-section structure of the heater in the main viewing direction in the second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 and Figure 3 Based on the first embodiment, the second embodiment discloses a heater comprising a container 5, a heating element 6, a temperature control device, and a temperature control device mounting structure. The heating element 6 contacts the container 5, and the temperature control device is secured to the container 5 via the temperature control device mounting structure. The temperature control device can be secured to the surface of the container 5 using only a screw 42 and a nut 41 via the temperature control mounting structure. This simplifies installation, improves temperature control device installation efficiency, and thereby improves the production efficiency of heaters equipped with temperature control devices.
[0040] Preferably, fastener 4 passes through first fixing hole 111 and second fixing hole 141 and is screwed into container 5. The cap of screw 42 is positioned on the inner surface of container 5, and nut 41 is positioned on screw 42 on the outer surface of container 5. When nut 41 is turned to adjust the angle between second fixing section 14 and connecting section 11, container 5 presses against connecting section 11, and nut 41 presses against second fixing section 14. Nut 41 and container 5 work together to limit the angle between second fixing section 14 and connecting section 11. After adjusting the position of connecting bracket 1 by turning nut 41, nut 41 also secures the position of screw 42 relative to container 5. Installation of the temperature control device on the heater is now complete.
