Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. This utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0022] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a temperature controller that is easy to assemble, including a housing 2 installed on one side of a junction box and a temperature controller body 3. The outer side of the temperature controller body 3 has an integrally formed protrusion. The temperature controller body 3 is inserted into the housing 2. The top and bottom of the housing 2 are both integrally formed with clearance grooves 10. A retaining strip 11 is welded to the clearance groove 10. Multiple retaining slots are formed on one side of the retaining strip 11. A pressing plate 4 is welded to the top and bottom of the protrusion, and the pressing plate 4 is inserted into the clearance groove 10. A bent elastic plate 6 is welded to one side of the pressing plate 4. Multiple retaining teeth 5 are integrally formed on the top of the pressing plate 4, and the retaining teeth 5 engage with the retaining slots. Limiting components that abut the pressing plate 4 are provided at the top and bottom of the temperature controller body 3. Install the outer casing 2 onto the junction box, then remove the limiting component from blocking the pressure plate 4. At this point, the pressure plate 4 can be pressed to deform it. Simultaneously, the pressure plate 4 will compress the elastic plate 6 and deform it. Then, insert the temperature controller body 3 into the outer casing 2 and insert the pressure plate 4 into the clearance groove 10. After the temperature controller body 3 is in the appropriate position inside the outer casing 2, release the pressure plate 4. At this time, under the action of the elastic plate 6, the pressure plate 4 will return to its original position, so that the locking teeth 5 on the pressure plate 4 will engage with the locking groove on the locking strip 11. Thus, the temperature controller body 3 is installed inside the outer casing 2. It is not necessary to use screws to lock and fix the temperature controller, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the temperature controller.
[0023] In this invention, the limiting component includes a trapezoidal guide rail 17, which is bolted to the top and bottom of the temperature controller body 3, located below the press plate 4. A stop block 13 is welded to one side of the press plate 4. A support slider 15 is slidably connected to the outer side of the trapezoidal guide rail 17. The support slider 15 is located below the press plate 4 and supports the stop block 13. A lever 16 is welded to one side of the support slider 15 for pulling the support slider 15 along the trapezoidal guide rail 17. Protrusions are welded to the top and bottom of the temperature controller body 3, and a tension spring 14 is welded to one side of the protrusion. The tension spring 14 is fixed to the support slider 15 and pulled by the lever 16. The support slider 15 moves along the trapezoidal guide rail 17. The support slider 15 will stretch the tension spring 14 and cause the support slider 15 to be misaligned with the stop block 13, so that the support slider 15 no longer supports the stop block 13. At this time, the pressing plate 4 can be pressed. After the temperature controller body 3 is installed, the lever 16 is released. At this time, the support slider 15 will be pulled back to its original position under the force of the tension spring 14, so that the support slider 15 supports the stop block 13, and the pressing plate 4 cannot be pressed. This ensures that the locking teeth 5 and the locking groove on the locking strip 11 are stably engaged, thereby ensuring the stable installation of the temperature controller and improving the stability of the temperature controller installation.
[0024] In particular, positioning angle plates 12 are welded to the four corners of the outer side of the temperature controller body 3, and corner grooves 7 are provided at the four corners of the outer side of the outer shell 2. The positioning angle plates 12 are inserted into the corner grooves 7 to position and install the temperature controller body 3. When the temperature controller body 3 is inserted into the outer shell 2, the positioning angle plates 12 are inserted into the corner grooves 7, thereby positioning and installing the temperature controller body 3. At the same time, the positioning angle plates 12 can reinforce the outer side of the temperature controller body 3. One side of the outer shell 2 has an oval hole 8 and a mounting hole 9 for mounting the outer shell 2. Screws are passed through the outer shell. The oblong hole 8 and mounting hole 9 on the 2 allow the outer casing 2 to be installed on the wire box with screws. At the same time, the oblong hole 8 can change the fixing point of the outer casing 2, thus facilitating the fixing of the outer casing 2. A transparent cover 1 is sleeved on one end of the control part of the temperature controller body 3. The transparent cover 1 can protect the control part of the temperature controller body 3. Guide grooves are opened on the top and bottom of the temperature controller body 3. The elastic plate 6 is located in the guide groove. When the elastic plate 6 deforms, it moves along the guide groove. When the elastic plate 6 deforms, it moves in the guide groove, thus preventing the elastic plate 6 from shifting.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When needed, screws are passed through the oblong hole 8 and mounting hole 9 on the outer casing 2, and the outer casing 2 is installed on the wire box by screws. At the same time, the fixing point of the outer casing 2 can be changed under the action of the oblong hole 8, so as to facilitate the fixing of the outer casing 2. Then, the support slider 15 is moved along the trapezoidal guide rail 17 by the lever 16. The support slider 15 will stretch the tension spring 14 and cause the support slider 15 to be misaligned with the stop block 13, so that the support slider 15 no longer supports the stop block 13. At this time, the pressing plate 4 can be pressed to deform the pressing plate 4. At the same time, the pressing plate 4 will squeeze the elastic plate 6 to deform. Then, the temperature controller body 3 is inserted into the outer casing 2, and the pressing plate 4 is inserted into the relief groove 10. When the temperature controller body 3 is inserted into the relief groove 10, the temperature controller body 3 is inserted into the relief groove 10. After inserting the device into the appropriate position inside the outer casing 2, release the pressing plate 4. At this time, under the action of the elastic plate 6, the pressing plate 4 will return to its original position, so that the locking teeth 5 on the pressing plate 4 will engage with the slots on the locking strip 11, thereby installing the temperature controller body 3 inside the outer casing 2. There is no need to use screws to lock and fix the temperature controller, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the temperature controller. After the temperature controller body 3 is installed, release the lever 16. At this time, under the action of the tension spring 14, the support slider 15 will be pulled to reset, so that the support slider 15 supports the stop block 13, preventing the pressing plate 4 from being pressed. This ensures that the locking teeth 5 and the slots on the locking strip 11 are stably engaged, thereby stably installing the temperature controller and improving the stability of the temperature controller installation.
[0026] Finally, the following points should be noted: In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connection, or internal connection between two components, or direct connection.
