Then, based on the displayed temperature, the temperature adjustment knob is manually rolled to adjust the output current, thereby adjusting the temperature of the electric blanket to meet the needs of different customers.

[0026] 3. This utility model uses the pressing of the squeeze key to compress the pressing spring, thereby driving the annular retaining ring to move. This causes the center of the annular retaining ring to approach the center of the annular groove. When they are at the same center, the annular retaining ring is concealed within the annular groove, allowing the potentiometer knob to be inserted into the rotating shaft. When pressing stops, the pressing spring drives the annular retaining ring to return to its original position, locking the annular retaining ring against the side wall of the potentiometer knob.

When needed, the slider is pressed, and the swing arm slides to the bottom of the irregular guide slot, and the card retracts into the slot, thus preventing accidental contact with the knob and making it safer to use.

[0028] 5. By pressing SB2, the ordinary relay K2 closes, and the power module works. When the microcontroller outputs a relay control signal, the indicator light illuminates, and the solid-state relay K1 closes. Releasing SB2 turns on the power. When the microcontroller detects a temperature exceeding 65°C, the solid-state relay K1 and the ordinary relay K2 open, thus achieving power-off and making it safer to use.
