Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive engine technology, specifically to a high-efficiency and energy-saving automotive thermostat. Background Technology
[0002] Car engines generate a lot of heat during operation. If this heat is not dissipated in time, the engine will overheat, which will affect its normal operation or even cause damage. Therefore, the role of the cooling system is to effectively transfer the heat generated by the engine to the surrounding environment and keep the engine operating within a suitable temperature range.
[0003] The thermostat, also known as a throttle, is a key component in the cooling system that controls the coolant circulation path. It automatically adjusts the coolant flow path based on temperature changes to achieve precise engine temperature control. When the engine is cold-started, the coolant temperature is low, and the thermostat's main valve is closed. At this time, the coolant bypasses the radiator and instead circulates between the engine block water jacket and water pump via a bypass pipe, allowing the engine to warm up quickly. As the engine temperature rises, when the coolant temperature reaches the thermostat's initial opening temperature, the main valve opens, and some coolant begins to flow through the radiator for heat dissipation, forming a large circulation loop. This prevents the engine from overheating and keeps it operating at a suitable temperature.
[0004] In existing thermostats, the flow of coolant to each pipe is controlled by a separate valve, which leads to uneven distribution of coolant to the bypass pipe and radiator, reducing the effectiveness of the coolant and requiring a large amount of energy, resulting in high energy consumption.
[0005] Therefore, in response to the above problems, the applicant needs to design a high-efficiency and energy-saving automotive thermostat to solve the problem. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-efficiency and energy-saving automotive thermostat to solve the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency and energy-saving automotive thermostat, comprising a radiator for cooling the automotive engine coolant, wherein an outlet pipe and an inlet pipe are respectively provided at both ends of the radiator.
[0008] It also includes: a connecting pipe that is fixedly connected at both ends to the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe respectively, and the connecting pipe is used to transport coolant;
[0009] A control mechanism is installed between the inlet pipe and the connecting pipe, and the control mechanism is used to control the flow direction of the coolant. The control mechanism includes a control chamber, and a rotating roller is installed inside the control chamber. A first closing plate is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating roller, and the first closing plate is used to open or close the connecting pipe. The rotating roller is connected to a linkage roller located inside the control chamber through a linkage component. A second closing plate is installed at one end of the linkage roller, and the second closing plate is used to open or close the inlet pipe.
[0010] Furthermore, a servo motor is provided at the end of the rotating roller away from the first closing plate, and a base is fixedly provided on one side of the servo motor, and the base is fixedly connected to the control compartment.
[0011] Through the above structural design, the base facilitates the support of the servo motor, improving the stability of the servo motor. When in use, the servo motor can easily drive the rotating roller to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating roller can easily drive the first closed plate to rotate, thereby adjusting the flow rate of coolant in the connecting pipe.
[0012] Furthermore, the servo motor is equipped with a signal receiver, which is used to turn the servo motor on or off. The liquid inlet pipe is equipped with a temperature sensor, which is electrically connected to the signal receiver.
[0013] With the above structural design, during use, the temperature sensor receives the ambient temperature around the car engine, converts the temperature signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the signal receiver. After receiving the electrical signal, the signal receiver controls the servo motor to start.
[0014] Furthermore, a first bevel gear is fixedly mounted on the rotating roller, a second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear, and the second bevel gear is fixedly connected to the linkage roller to drive the linkage roller to rotate.
[0015] With the above structural design, during use, the rotation of the rotating roller will drive the first bevel gear to rotate, the rotation of the first bevel gear will drive the second bevel gear to rotate, and the rotation of the second bevel gear will drive the linkage roller to rotate, so that the rotating roller and the linkage roller rotate simultaneously, thereby synchronously adjusting the rotation angle of the first closed plate and the second closed plate, thus evenly distributing the proportion of coolant flowing to the bypass water pipe and radiator, reducing energy loss.
[0016] Furthermore, a first hollow shell is provided on the outer side of the rotating roller, and the first hollow shell is fixedly connected to the control chamber and the connecting pipe; a second hollow shell is provided on the outer side of the linkage roller, and the second hollow shell is fixedly connected to the control chamber and the liquid inlet pipe.
[0017] Through the above structural design, the first hollow shell and the second hollow shell are used to protect the rotating roller and the linkage roller, prevent interference from external debris, and ensure high safety.
[0018] Furthermore, a first connecting rod is fixedly provided on the first closing plate, and the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe; a second connecting rod is provided on the second closing plate, and the second connecting rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the liquid inlet pipe.
[0019] Through the above structural design, the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are used to facilitate the support of the first closing plate and the second closing plate, thereby improving the stability and smoothness of the first closing plate and the second closing plate when rotating.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: this high-efficiency and energy-saving automotive thermostat facilitates the synchronous adjustment of the coolant flow direction, thereby reducing energy loss and achieving high energy efficiency. The specific details are as follows:
[0021] When this high-efficiency and energy-saving automotive thermostat is in use, the temperature sensor receives the ambient temperature around the car engine and converts the temperature signal into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the signal receiver. Upon receiving the electrical signal, the signal receiver controls the servo motor to start. The servo motor then drives the rotating roller to rotate, which in turn drives the first closed plate to rotate. Simultaneously, the rotation of the rotating roller drives the first bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear to rotate. The rotation of the second bevel gear then drives the linkage roller to rotate, causing the rotating roller and the linkage roller to rotate simultaneously. This synchronously adjusts the rotation angle of the first and second closed plates, thereby evenly distributing the coolant flow to the bypass water pipe and radiator, reducing energy loss.

A base 28 is fixedly mounted on one side of the servo motor 27 and is fixedly connected to the control compartment 20. The base 28 facilitates the support of the servo motor 27 and improves its stability. When in use, the servo motor 27 starts to drive the rotating roller 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the first closing plate 24 to rotate, thereby regulating the flow rate of coolant in the connecting pipe 13. A signal receiver 29 is mounted on the servo motor 27 and is used to turn the servo motor 27 on or off. A temperature sensor 11 is mounted on the inlet pipe 10 and is electrically connected to the signal receiver 29.

A first hollow shell 21 is provided on the outer side of the rotating roller 23, and the first hollow shell 21 is fixedly connected to the control chamber 20 and the connecting pipe 13.
