[0031] The technical solution of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the present invention discloses a wall-mounted thermostat with a temperature compensation resistor, used for temperature control of a heating device 9. It includes a thermostat body 1, a temperature compensation resistor 2, a mechanical switch 3, and a temperature switch 4. The temperature switch 4 includes a push rod 41, a moving contact 42, a stationary contact 43, and a temperature sensing element 10. When the contacts of the moving contact 42 and the stationary contact 43 are in contact, the heating circuit is activated. The two ends of the push rod 41 are connected to the temperature sensing element 10 and the moving contact 42, respectively. When the set temperature is reached, the temperature sensing element 10 jumps, causing the push rod 41 to push the moving contact 42 away from the stationary contact 43, thus disconnecting the heating circuit. The temperature compensation resistor 2 is electrically connected to the stationary contact 43 and is correspondingly positioned to provide temperature compensation for the temperature sensing element 10. The mechanical switch 3 is used to manually control the heating circuit to be activated or deactivated.
[0033] Currently, most wall-mounted thermostats on the market lack a temperature compensation resistor 2. They typically consist of a mechanical switch 3 and a temperature switch 4. When the circuit is open, the heating device 9 heats up. When the set temperature is reached, the temperature sensor 10 jumps, causing the push rod 41 to push the moving contact 42 away from the stationary contact 43, disconnecting the heating circuit and stopping the heating device 9. When the indoor temperature drops to a certain level, the temperature sensor 10 resets, causing the push rod 41 to pull the contacts of the moving contact 42 and the stationary contact 43 back into contact, reheating, and so on. However, this structure has the problem of low accuracy, and for long-distance temperature measurement, the time for temperature to be conducted to the temperature sensor 10 is long, resulting in a large error and further lower temperature control accuracy and unreliable temperature regulation.
[0034] To address this technical problem, this utility model makes further improvements based on existing technology, specifically, as follows: Figures 2 to 4 As shown, by adding a temperature compensation resistor 2, after the circuit is turned on (i.e., when the mechanical switch 3 and the temperature switch 4 are closed), the heating device 9 heats up, and at the same time, the temperature compensation resistor 2 also generates heat to compensate for the temperature of the sensing element 10. This shortens the time it takes for the ambient temperature to be conducted to the sensing element 10, and also provides some compensation for the transmission of ambient temperature over long distances, making the temperature measurement more accurate. This solves the problem that existing wall-mounted thermostats have low accuracy, and for long-distance temperature measurement, the time it takes for the temperature to be conducted to the sensing element 10 is long, resulting in large errors, which leads to lower temperature control accuracy and unreliable temperature regulation.
[0035] Preferably, the reset temperature difference of the temperature sensing element 10 is about 3°C. The heating device 9 can be set to raise the room temperature by up to 0.5°C. Under the effect of temperature compensation, the temperature sensing element 10 will rise by about 3°C and trip. When the room temperature drops by 0.5°C, the temperature sensing element 10 will drop by about 3°C and reset. Under the effect of temperature compensation resistor 2, the room temperature will be kept constant within 0.5°C.
[0036] Furthermore, the thermostat body 1 is fixedly hung on the wall by a fixing pin. The thermostat body 1 has a mounting hole 11 that cooperates with the fixing pin, and a limiting component corresponding to the fixing pin is provided in the mounting hole 11. The thermostat body 1 has a wire 6 for connecting the power supply component 8 and the heating device 9, and the wire 6 is protected by a protective component. In this way, the wall-mounted thermostat with temperature compensation resistor is fixed to the wall by the fixing pin and the mounting hole 11. Compared with the cumbersome fixing method of bolts and screw holes in the prior art, the installation and disassembly are more convenient and faster, saving labor, and subsequent maintenance is also more convenient.
[0037] In practical applications, during installation, the fixing pin is fixed to the wall, and then the wall-mounted thermostat with temperature compensation resistor is aligned with the fixing pin through the mounting hole 11 and pushed in to hang it, so that the wall-mounted thermostat with temperature compensation resistor is fixedly hung on the wall.
[0038] Furthermore, the inner wall of the mounting hole 11 is formed with a receiving groove 511. The limiting component includes a limiting block 51 and a spring 54. The spring 54 is located between the limiting block 51 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 511. The first end of the limiting block 51 is slidably connected to the receiving groove 511, and the second end of the limiting block 51 extends out of the receiving groove 511 and is correspondingly limited by the fixing pin. With this configuration, during assembly, the wall-mounted thermostat with temperature compensation resistor is pushed in through the mounting hole 11, aligned with the fixing pin. When pushed in, the fixing pin contacts the limiting block 51, and under the action of the pushing force, the fixing pin pushes the limiting block 51 to compress the spring 54, causing the limiting block 51 to retract relative to the receiving groove 511. When pushed in to a certain position, the wall-mounted thermostat with temperature compensation resistor is released. At this time, under the elastic force of the spring 54, the limiting block 51 is pushed to limit and lock the fixing pin, which can prevent loosening after long-term use.
[0039] Preferably, there are two mounting holes 11, and each mounting hole 11 is provided with two sets of limiting components, which makes the fixing effect more secure.
[0040] Furthermore, a guide rod 53 is fixed inside the receiving groove 511, and a guide groove 52 is provided on the limiting block 51, with the guide groove 52 slidably connected to the guide rod 53. With this arrangement, the limiting block 51 slides linearly under the combined action of the guide groove 52 and the guide rod 53, resulting in a more stable sliding effect.
[0041] Furthermore, the inner wall of the receiving groove 511 is provided with a slot 55, and the limiting block 51 is provided with a sliding groove 58. The sliding groove 58 is provided with an elastic cotton 57 and a locking block 56. The elastic cotton 57 is located between the locking block 56 and the inner wall of the sliding groove 58. The first end of the locking block 56 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 58, and the second end of the locking block 56 extends out of the sliding groove 58 and is locked in place with the slot 55. This configuration, through the cooperation of the locking block 56 and the slot 55, limits the positioning of the limiting block 51. On one hand, it prevents the limiting block 51 from dislodging from the receiving slot 511; on the other hand, it further enhances the locking effect of the fixing pin. Specifically, in the initial state, the locking block 56 and the slot 55 are engaged. When the mounting hole 11 is aligned with the fixing pin and pushed in, the fixing pin pushes the limiting block 51 to compress the spring 54. The movement of the limiting block 51 causes the locking block 56 to compress the elastic cotton 57, causing the locking block 56 to slide out of the slot 55. At this time, under the action of the elastic cotton 57, the locking block 56 abuts against the inner wall of the receiving slot 511, effectively providing a lateral limiting force to the limiting block 51, further enhancing the locking effect of the fixing pin. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, spring 54 provides a downward thrust to the limiting block 5, while elastic cotton 57 and locking block 56 provide a lateral thrust to the limiting block 51.
[0042] In practical applications, the outer wall of the locking block 56 is inclined, which makes it easy to slide out of the slot 55 under the action of force; elastic cotton 57 and locking block 56 are respectively provided on both sides of the limiting block 51. After the locking blocks 56 on both sides are dislodged from the slot 55, they abut against the inner walls of the two sides of the receiving groove 511, and the locking effect is more secure.
[0043] Furthermore, a slider 59 is fixed on the locking block 56, and a guide rod 510 is fixed inside the sliding groove 58. The slider 59 and the guide rod 510 are slidably connected. This arrangement allows the locking block 56 to slide linearly, resulting in a more stable sliding effect.
[0044] Furthermore, the protective assembly includes a mounting sleeve 71 and a mounting cover 73. The mounting sleeve 71 is fixed to the thermostat body 1, and the mounting cover 73 is detachably mounted on the mounting sleeve 71. The inner wall of the mounting sleeve 71 is provided with a protective cotton 72 corresponding to the wire 6, and the inner wall of the mounting cover 73 is provided with a protective cotton 74 corresponding to the wire 6. The mounting sleeve 71 is provided with a locking assembly corresponding to the mounting cover 73. This arrangement, through the cooperation of the mounting sleeve 71 and the mounting cover 73, protects the wire 6 and prevents damage to it.
[0045] Furthermore, a connecting block 78 is fixed on the inner wall of the mounting cover 73. The mounting cover 73 is provided with a connecting groove 77 corresponding to the connecting block 78. The connecting block 78 is provided with a locking groove 79. The mounting cover 73 is provided with a second receiving groove 723. The locking assembly includes a slide rod 710, a pull ring 713, a limiting ring 714, a second spring 719, and a sealing sleeve 720. The limiting ring 714 and the second spring 719 are located in the second receiving groove 723. The sealing sleeve 720 is fixed to the opening of the second receiving groove 723. The pull ring 713 is fixedly connected to the first end of the slide rod 710. The second end of the slide rod 710 passes through the sealing sleeve 720, the second spring 719, and the limiting ring 714 in sequence and extends out of the second receiving groove 723 to lock correspondingly with the locking groove 79. The two ends of the second spring 719 abut against the inner wall of the second receiving groove 723 and the limiting ring 714. The limiting ring 714 is fixedly connected to the slide rod 710. With this configuration, during assembly, pulling the pull ring 713 causes the slide rod 710 and the limiting ring 714 to compress the second spring 719, thus clearing the assembly space for the connecting block 78. When the connecting block 78 is assembled in the connecting groove 77, the pull ring 713 is released, and under the rebound force of the second spring 719, the limiting ring 714 and the slide rod 710 are pushed to move, causing the slide rod 710 to extend out of the receiving groove 723 and lock in place with the locking groove 79.
[0046] Furthermore, a second slider 716 is fixed on the limiting ring 714. The second slider 716 has a groove 717, and a ball bearing 718 is provided in the groove 717. The ball bearing 718 is in rolling connection with the inner wall of the receiving groove 723. This arrangement allows the limiting ring 714 to slide linearly, resulting in a more stable sliding effect.
[0047] Furthermore, the outer wall of the mounting cover 73 is provided with a handle 75, and the handle 75 is provided with an anti-slip pad 76. This design makes installation and removal convenient, and also makes subsequent maintenance easier.

Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of the present utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims. All of these forms are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
