Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of temperature control, and in particular to the technical field of temperature controllers. Background Technology

[0002] A snap-action thermostat is a bimetallic strip thermostat. To prevent excessively high ambient temperatures or dry burning, the snap-action thermostat must have the function of completely cutting off the power supply circuit after a temperature jump. Existing snap-action thermostats mainly include automatic reset thermostats that use an automatic reset bimetallic strip and manual reset thermostats that use a manual reset bimetallic strip. Manual reset thermostats are equipped with a reset button, which protrudes from the outside of the panel, making the panel uneven and the reset button easily damaged due to the protrusion. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art by proposing a hidden manual reset thermostat, which prevents the reset button from being exposed on the outside of the panel. The reset button is hidden, making the panel flatter and the reset more convenient.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a concealed manual reset thermostat, including a thermostat body, a reset button, a panel, and a reset hole. The thermostat body is a manual reset thermostat. A reset button is provided at the bottom of the thermostat body, with a portion of the reset button exposed outside the thermostat body. A panel is provided below the thermostat body, and a reset hole is provided on the panel, with the reset hole aligned with the portion of the reset button exposed outside the thermostat body.

[0005] Preferably, the thermostat body is equipped with a reset pin, and a reset hole allows the reset pin to pass through.

[0006] Preferably, the reset button consists of a main rod, a limiting plate, and a spring. A through hole is provided on the lower end face of the thermostat body, and the main rod passes vertically through the through hole. A limiting plate is fixed on the main rod and is located inside the thermostat body. A spring is sleeved on the outside of the main rod and is clamped between the limiting plate and the inner bottom wall of the thermostat body. The two ends of the spring are fixed to the limiting plate and the inner bottom wall of the thermostat body, respectively.

[0007] Preferably, a sizing cap is fitted onto the main rod body. The sizing cap is cross-shaped, with one part of the sizing cap located outside the thermostat body and the other part of the sizing cap extending into the thermostat body through a through hole. A spring surrounds the sizing cap.

[0008] Preferably, there is a gap of 0.5mm-2mm between the panel and the bottom of the reset button.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting the reset hole on the panel and using a reset pin, the reset button of the thermostat body can be hidden and can be easily reset, making the panel more concise, the reset button less prone to damage, and the phenomenon of accidentally pressing the reset button less likely to occur, making it safer to use.

[0010] The features and advantages of this utility model will be described in detail through embodiments and accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0011] Figure 1 This is the front view of the concealed manual reset thermostat of this utility model;

[0012] Figure 2 This is a top view of the enlarged cap of the concealed manual reset thermostat of this utility model.

[0013] In the diagram: 1-Thermostat body, 2-Reset button, 3-Panel, 10-Through hole, 20-Enlarging cap, 21-Main rod, 22-Limit plate, 23-Spring, 30-Reset hole. Detailed Implementation

[0014] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 This utility model discloses a concealed manual reset thermostat, comprising a thermostat body 1, a reset button 2, a panel 3, and a reset hole 30. The thermostat body 1 is a manual reset thermostat. A reset button 2 is provided at the bottom of the thermostat body 1, and a portion of the reset button 2 is exposed outside the thermostat body 1. A panel 3 is provided below the thermostat body 1, and a reset hole 30 is provided on the panel 3. The reset hole 30 is aligned with the portion of the reset button 2 exposed outside the thermostat body 1.

[0015] The thermostat body 1 is equipped with a reset pin, and the reset hole 30 allows the reset pin to pass through.

[0016] The reset button 2 consists of a main rod 21, a limiting plate 22, and a spring 23. A through hole 10 is provided on the lower end face of the thermostat body 1. The main rod 21 passes vertically through the through hole 10. The limiting plate 22 is fixed on the main rod 21 and is located inside the thermostat body 1. A spring 23 is sleeved on the outside of the main rod 21. The spring 23 is sandwiched between the limiting plate 22 and the inner bottom wall of the thermostat body 1. The two ends of the spring 23 are fixed to the limiting plate 22 and the inner bottom wall of the thermostat body 1, respectively.

[0017] An enlarging cap 20 is fitted onto the main rod 21. The enlarging cap 20 is cross-shaped. Part of the enlarging cap 20 is located outside the thermostat body 1, and the other part of the enlarging cap 20 extends into the thermostat body 1 through the through hole 10. The spring 23 surrounds the enlarging cap 20.

[0018] There is a gap of 0.5mm-2mm between the panel 3 and the bottom of the reset button 2.

[0019] The working process of this utility model:

[0020] In operation, when the thermostat needs to be reset, the reset pin is passed through the reset hole 30 and the reset button 2 is pressed to reset the thermostat. Since the reset button is hidden, the panel 3 is more concise, and the reset button 2 is not easily damaged. At the same time, the phenomenon of accidentally pressing the reset button 2 is less likely to occur, making it safer to use.

[0021] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any simple modifications to the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
