[0006] Furthermore, a limiting portion connected to the protrusion is formed on the inner surface of the box side wall and located on both sides of the protrusion.

[0007] Furthermore, a notch is provided on the main body of the box, one end of the notch in the length direction extends to the position of the box side wall, a first stop is formed by a protrusion at a position on the side edge of the notch on the main body of the box, and a second stop is formed by a protrusion at a position on the main body of the box between the notch and the box side wall.

[0008] Furthermore, a first snap portion is formed on the box body at a position on the side edge of the notch and between the first stopper and the second stopper, and a first folding portion is formed on the first snap portion at the end away from the box body.

[0009] Furthermore, a first reinforcing rib is formed between the first buckle portion and the box body.

[0010] Furthermore, a second reinforcing rib is formed between the second buckle portion and the cover side wall portion.

[0011] Furthermore, the second buckle parts include four in total, and their widths are different. The protrusions also include four in total, and their sizes are consistent with those of the second buckle parts.

[0012] Furthermore, the first tooth-shaped portion and the second tooth-shaped portion each include a plurality of stepped teeth, and the height of each stepped tooth is 0.3 m.

[0013] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) The teeth of the buckle of the utility model cooperate with each other instead of the surface contact cooperation of the existing structure, realizing stepless assembly;

[0015] (2) The utility model sets the second buckle portion to four sizes with different widths, which directly achieves foolproofing. When installed incorrectly, the temperature sensor cover will not be installed into the temperature sensor embedded box. Description of the drawings:

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] The utility model comprises a stepless temperature sensor mounting structure, comprising a temperature sensor embedded box 1 and a temperature sensor cover 2. The temperature sensor embedded box 1 comprises a box body 10 and a box sidewall 11 extending from the side edge of the box body 10. A plurality of spaced protrusions 12 are formed on the inner surface of the box sidewall 11, away from the end protrusion of the box body 10. The protrusions 12 are formed with first teeth 120. The inner surface of the box sidewall 11 and the positions on both sides of the protrusions 12 are formed with stoppers 110 connected to the protrusions 12.

[0024] The box body 10 has a notch 100 formed on it. One end of the notch 100 extends to the sidewall 11. A first stopper 101 is formed on the box body 10 at a side edge of the notch 100. A second stopper 102 is formed on the box body 10 between the notch 100 and the sidewall 11. A first latch 103 is formed on the box body 10 at a side edge of the notch 100 and between the first stopper 101 and the second stopper 102. A first reinforcing rib 104 is formed between the first latch 103 and the box body 10. A first folded portion 1030 is formed on the end of the first latch 103 away from the box body 10.

[0025] The temperature sensor cover 2 includes a main body 20 and a sidewall 21 extending from the side edge of the main body 20. A second latch 210 is formed on the sidewall 21, distal from the main body 20. A second reinforcing rib 211 is formed between the second latch 210 and the sidewall 21. The upper end of the second latch 210 is folded over to form a second folded portion 2100. This folded portion 2100 includes a second tooth 2101 that mates with the first tooth 120. There are four second latches 210, each of varying widths. There are also four protrusions 12, each sized to match the second latches 210. This arrangement ensures foolproof installation, preventing the temperature sensor cover 2 from being inserted into the embedded temperature sensor box 1 if incorrectly installed. Both the first tooth 120 and the second tooth 2101 include several stepped teeth, each 0.3 mm high.

[0026] When using the stepless temperature sensor mounting structure of the present invention, the temperature sensor clip is installed in the position surrounded by the first stopper 101 and the second stopper 102 of the temperature sensor embedded box 1 and locked by the first clip portion 103. Then, the temperature sensor cover 2 and the temperature sensor embedded box 1 are assembled together. The temperature sensor cover 2 and the temperature sensor embedded box 1 are mated through each step of the teeth, achieving stepless assembly, which can solve the problem of existing installation being too loose or too tight.

[0027] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
