Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of temperature regulation technology, and more specifically to a temperature regulation structure. Background Technology

[0002] Water heaters are currently common household appliances, categorized into electric water heaters, gas water heaters, heat pump water heaters, and solar water heaters. Electric water heaters are widely used due to their convenience. Most electric water heaters are equipped with thermostats to control the water temperature; mechanical models typically achieve constant temperature control by adjusting a knob that works in conjunction with the thermostat.

[0003] Currently, temperature control is achieved by rotating the thermostat shaft. Existing products use a knob to directly move the thermostat shaft to set the temperature. Because the knob is directly connected to the thermostat shaft, it is limited to placing the knob on top of the thermostat. This requirement for knob position is too strict and does not meet the requirements of the current diversification of electric water heaters and the flexibility of their internal structure design.

[0004] At the same time, because the linkage knob is tightly assembled, it is prone to jamming and sticking, making it impossible to rotate smoothly and flexibly, which affects the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a temperature regulation structure that enables smooth and flexible rotation of the linkage knob, thereby achieving flexible and effective temperature regulation and improving the user experience.

[0006] To address this, the present invention provides a temperature regulation structure, including a display screen with a circular projection. The back and front sides of the display screen are provided with corresponding first and second arc-shaped slide rails along their edges. A slidable linkage knob is provided within the first arc-shaped slide rail, and an adsorption knob that attracts the linkage knob is provided within the second arc-shaped slide rail. A temperature controller is also included; a control board is provided on the back of the display screen, and the temperature controller is mounted on the control board. The temperature controller includes a rotating shaft for adjusting the temperature. A connecting rod is also included; one end of the connecting rod is connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end is connected to the linkage knob.

[0007] Preferably, the projection of the linkage knob is rectangular, and the corners of the linkage knob are provided with a rounded corner structure.

[0008] Preferably, the back of the display screen is provided with a protruding arc-shaped slide rail along its edge, and the first arc-shaped slide rail is recessed in the arc-shaped slide rail, with the bottom surface of the first arc-shaped slide rail being higher than the back of the display screen.

[0009] Preferably, the second arc-shaped slide rail is recessed on the front of the display screen.

[0010] Preferably, the adsorption knob is slidably fitted within the second arc-shaped slide rail, and the adsorption knob protrudes from the front of the display screen.

[0011] Preferably, the projection of the thermostat is circular, and the thermostat has a clearance area inside, with one end of the connecting rod passing through the clearance area to connect with the rotating shaft.

[0012] Preferably, the opening of the clearance area is located at the edge of the thermostat, and the opening of the clearance area is arc-shaped with the corresponding central angle being the same as the central angle corresponding to the first arc-shaped slide rail.

[0013] Preferably, the front of the display screen has a temperature display area.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:

[0015] The temperature control structure in this embodiment is simple and easy to install and use. The linkage rotates by rotating the adsorption knob, thus adjusting the temperature and improving convenience and user experience. The adsorption knob rotates smoothly and flexibly without any jamming, ensuring smooth and flexible temperature control. The adsorption knob's attraction to the linkage knob allows the knob to drive the rotation of both the linkage knob and the linkage. The linkage knob, linkage, and thermostat can be housed on the back of the display screen, avoiding exposure. The adsorption knob is not directly connected to the thermostat's rotating shaft; the adsorption knob and thermostat are located on the front and back of the display screen, respectively, meeting the requirements of diverse water heater designs and flexible internal structures.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the temperature regulation structure of this embodiment includes a display screen 10, the projection of which is circular. The back and front sides of the display screen 10 are provided with corresponding first arc-shaped slide rails 21 and second arc-shaped slide rails 22 along their edges. A slidable linkage knob 31 is provided within the first arc-shaped slide rail 21, and an adsorption knob 32 that is attracted to the linkage knob 31 is provided within the second arc-shaped slide rail 22. A temperature controller 40 is also included. A control board 11 is provided on the back of the display screen 10, and the temperature controller 40 is mounted on the control board 11. The temperature controller 40 includes a rotating shaft 41 for adjusting the temperature and a connecting rod 50, one end of which is connected to the rotating shaft 41, and the other end of which is connected to the linkage knob 31.

[0026] The display screen 10 can be disc-shaped, and the projection of the display screen 10 is circular. The first arc-shaped slide rail 21 and the second arc-shaped slide rail 22 are both arc-shaped along the edge of the display screen 10, and the center of the circle corresponding to the first arc-shaped slide rail 21 and the second arc-shaped slide rail 22 coincides with the center of the circle of the display screen 10.

[0027] Specifically, the back of the display screen 10 has a protruding arc-shaped slide rail 23 along its edge. A first arc-shaped slide rail 21 is recessed within the arc-shaped slide rail 23, and the bottom surface of the first arc-shaped slide rail 21 is higher than the back of the display screen 10. A linkage knob 31 is slidably engaged with the bottom surface of the first arc-shaped slide rail 21. The linkage knob 31 protrudes from the back of the display screen 10, and there is a gap between the linkage knob 31 and the back of the display screen 10.

[0028] In this embodiment, since the thermostat 40 is mounted on the control board 11 of the display screen 10, there is a gap between the thermostat 40 and the back of the display screen 10. By designing the bottom surface of the first arc-shaped slide rail 21 to be higher than the back of the display screen 10, the linkage knob 31 and the bottom of the thermostat 40 can be basically located on the same plane, which makes it easier to set the linkage 50 horizontally, and thus enables the linkage 50 to rotate smoothly and flexibly.

[0029] The second arc-shaped slide rail 22 is recessed on the front of the display screen 10. In this embodiment, the center of the second arc-shaped slide rail 22 coincides with the center of the display screen 10. One arc-shaped edge of the second arc-shaped slide rail 22 is the outer edge of the display screen 10, that is, one arc-shaped edge of the second arc-shaped slide rail 22 is the opening edge of the second arc-shaped slide rail 22, which can facilitate the sliding of the adsorption knob 32 within the second arc-shaped slide rail 22.

[0030] The two ends of the second arc-shaped slide rail 22 are arc-shaped sides, with a corresponding central angle of 45°.

[0031] The adsorption knob 32 can slide within the second arc-shaped slide rail 22, and the adsorption knob 32 protrudes from the front of the display screen 10.

[0032] In this embodiment, the adsorption knob 32 can be disc-shaped. Half of the bottom surface of the adsorption knob 32 is in contact with the second arc-shaped slide rail 22 for sliding, while the other half of the bottom surface of the adsorption knob 32 is not in contact with the second arc-shaped slide rail 22. When the adsorption knob 32 slides to both ends of the second arc-shaped slide rail 22, the adsorption knob 32 can be adapted and matched to both ends of the second arc-shaped slide rail 22, so that the adsorption knob 32 can slide smoothly and flexibly within the second arc-shaped slide rail 22, avoiding jamming.

[0033] The adsorption knob 32 protrudes from the front of the display screen 10, making it easy for the user to hold and slide the adsorption knob 32, thereby facilitating temperature adjustment.

[0034] The thermostat 40 has a circular projection, and the rotating shaft 41 is rotatably mounted at the center of the thermostat 40. The rotatable mounting method is a common rotatable method in this technical field and is not specifically limited here.

[0035] Temperature can be adjusted by rotating the rotating shaft 41. The working principle is a mature existing technology and will not be specifically limited here.

[0036] The thermostat 40 has a clearance area 42, and one end of the connecting rod 50 passes through the clearance area 42 to connect with the rotating shaft 41.

[0037] The opening of the clearance area 42 is located at the edge of the thermostat 40. The opening of the clearance area 42 is arc-shaped, and the corresponding central angle is the same as the central angle of the first arc-shaped slide rail 21, or the central angle of the clearance area 42 is greater than the central angle of the first arc-shaped slide rail 21. This allows the connecting rod 50 to rotate smoothly and flexibly, thereby ensuring effective temperature regulation.

[0038] The front of the display screen 10 is provided with a temperature display area 12, which is used to display the adjusted temperature.

[0039] In this embodiment, the linkage knob 31 can be rectangular, and the corners of the linkage knob 31 are provided with a rounded corner structure, which can facilitate the smooth and flexible sliding of the linkage knob 31 within the first arc-shaped slide rail 21 and avoid jamming.

[0040] In this embodiment, the linkage knob 31 can be made of metal, such as iron; the adsorption knob 32 can be a magnet. The adsorption knob 32 and the linkage knob 31 are adsorbed together. By sliding the adsorption knob 31 along the second arc-shaped slide rail 22, the linkage knob 31 can be driven to slide along the first arc-shaped slide rail 21.

[0041] In other preferred embodiments, the linkage knob 31 and the adsorption knob 32 can also achieve mutual adsorption in other ways, without specific limitations.

[0042] The temperature regulation structure of this embodiment can be applied to water heaters, washing machines, induction cookers, etc., to achieve temperature regulation of water heaters, washing machines, and induction cookers.

[0043] like Figures 5-7 As shown, the temperature regulation structure of this embodiment is applied to a water heater as an example for explanation. The water heater includes a housing 60, and a recessed mounting groove 61 is provided inside the housing 60. The opening of the mounting groove 61 is located on the surface of the housing 60. The display screen 10 is installed in the opening of the mounting groove 61. The installation method is a common installation method in this technical field and is not specifically limited here. The control board 11, thermostat 40, connecting rod 50, and linkage knob 31 are all located in the mounting groove 61. The mounting groove 61 can protect the control board 11, thermostat 40, connecting rod 50, and linkage knob 31.

[0044] The temperature control structure of this embodiment is simple and easy to install and use. Rotation of the suction knob 32 drives the rotation of the connecting rod 50, thereby adjusting the temperature and improving convenience and user experience. The suction knob 32 rotates smoothly and flexibly without any jamming or sticking, ensuring smooth and flexible temperature control. The suction knob 32 attracts the linkage knob 31, causing the linkage knob 31 and the connecting rod 50 to rotate. The linkage knob 31, connecting rod 50, and temperature controller 40 can be mounted on the back of the display screen 10 to avoid exposure.

[0045] The adsorption knob 32 is not directly connected to the rotation shaft 41 of the thermostat 40. The adsorption knob 32 and the thermostat 40 are located on the front and back of the display screen 10, respectively, which can meet the requirements of the current diversification of water heaters and the flexible design of the internal structure of water heaters.

[0046] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
