DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar notations represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to be illustrative of the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the present application. In the description of the present application, it is to be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "upper surface" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are merely for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and therefore cannot be construed as indicating or implying that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the present application.

[0018] Referring to Figures 1-4 The present application provides an embodiment: a steam switch, comprising a base 1, a wiring terminal 2 mounted on the base 1 and a mounting cavity 6 for mounting a bimetallic strip; the wiring terminal 2 comprises a first pin 20 and a second pin 26; the first pin 20 is provided with a guide hole 23 and a movable contact 25 sliding in the guide hole 23, and the second pin 26 is further provided with a static contact 24; the movable contact 25 comprises a contact 27 and a guide rod 28 provided on the contact 27, and the guide rod 28 slides in the guide hole 23; the upper side of the guide hole 23 is further provided with a spring 22, and the spring 22 promotes the separation of the movable contact 25 and the static contact 24.

[0019] As described above, when one end of the movable rod promotes the contact of the movable contact 25 and the static contact 24 to complete the conduction of the circuit, when the movable rod and the movable contact 25 are separated, the spring 22 promotes the upward movement of the guide rod 28 to separate the movable contact 25 and the static contact 24 to complete the disconnection of the circuit, and in particular, the distance between the contact 27 and the spring 22 is far, the spring 22 is less affected by heat, and its elastic ability is not affected. Based on this, the device uses the spring 22 to promote the separation of the movable contact 25 and the static contact 24 to improve the sensitivity of the device when it is powered off.

[0020] Further, the side of the spring 22 away from the first pin is further provided with a snap ring 21, and the snap ring 21 is connected with the ring groove 29 provided on the guide rod 28 to limit the spring 22 between the opposite sides of the snap ring 21 and the first pin 20. Therefore, when the movable rod and the movable contact 25 are separated, the spring 22 can quickly promote the separation of the movable contact 25 and the static contact 24, ensuring the disconnection sensitivity of the device, and since the guide rod 28 passes through the guide hole 23 and then the spring 22 is sleeved outside the guide rod 28, and then the spring is limited between the opposite sides of the first pin and the snap ring by the snap ring, the installation and disassembly of the movable contact 25 are simple and convenient, and the assembly steps of the movable contact are simplified.

[0021] On the basis of the above scheme, since the two sides of the installation cavity 6 are also provided with the clamping groove 7 and the limiting groove 8, and the bimetallic strip is guided into the clamping groove 7 and the limiting groove 8 through the guide plate 5. Because of the setting of the guide plate 5, the bimetallic strip can be smoothly moved into the clamping groove 7 and the limiting groove 8 by the guide plate 5, and the rapid assembly of the bimetallic strip is realized.

[0022] Specifically, since the side of the guide plate 5 facing the bimetallic strip is also provided with the inclined surface 3 and the supporting surface 4, the bimetallic strip is attached to the inclined surface 3 when installed, and slides along the inclined surface 3 to the supporting surface 4, that is, the bimetallic strip can be smoothly installed in place, and the bimetallic strip can also be supported by the supporting surface 4.

[0023] Further, since the number of the guide plate 5 is two, and the two guide plates 5 are symmetrically arranged in the installation cavity 6, the bimetallic strip can be reliably supported while the two sides of the bimetallic strip are supported by the two guide plates 5 to avoid the phenomenon of deviation of the bimetallic strip during installation.

[0024] In addition, since the protruding part 9 is arranged between the two guide plates 5, when the end of the bimetallic strip away from the limiting groove 8 abuts against the protruding part 9, the stability of the bimetallic strip in the installation cavity 6 can be further ensured.

[0025] The embodiments of the utility model are described in detail in combination with the drawings, but the utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, replacements and modifications can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the utility model, and still fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
