[0027] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the device proposed by this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The advantages and features of this utility model will become clearer according to the following description. It should be noted that the accompanying drawings are in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, only used to conveniently and clearly assist in illustrating the purpose of the embodiments of this utility model. Please refer to the accompanying drawings to make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable. It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., depicted in the accompanying drawings are only used to complement the content disclosed in the specification, for those skilled in the art to understand and read, and are not intended to limit the implementation conditions of this utility model. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in the proportional relationships, or adjustments to the size, without affecting the effects and objectives that this utility model can produce, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this utility model.

[0029] First embodiment:

[0030] This embodiment discloses an air-cooling mechanism.

[0031] The air-cooling mechanism is used in the thermostat. For example, the thermostat is a formula maker. Those skilled in the art will understand that the technical solutions disclosed herein can also be applied to other types of kitchen appliances that require temperature control, such as baby food makers, steamers, and thermos flasks. Figure 1 This is an isometric view of the thermostat of this utility model. Figure 2 This is an isometric view of the thermostat of this utility model after the container has been removed. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the thermostat includes a base 1, a side wall 2 disposed on the base 1, and a container 3 removably mounted on the base 1. There is a gap between the container 3 and the side wall 2. The side wall 2 has a hollow structure, and an air outlet 21 is opened on the inner side of the side wall 2 facing the container 3.

[0032] Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of the thermostat of this utility model. Figure 3 As shown, preferably, the container 3 is cylindrical, and the inner side of the sidewall 2 is an arc surface concentric with the outer side of the container 3. There is an arc-shaped radial gap α between the outer side of the container 3 and the inner wall of the sidewall 2, with the radial gap α being 5–10 mm. If the arc-shaped gap is too small, the airflow will be too congested, resulting in air rebound and low cooling efficiency. If the arc-shaped gap is too large, it will affect the overall appearance of the product and cause the glass container to wobble, affecting the user experience.

[0033] The air-cooling mechanism includes an air guide 4, a housing 5, and a fan 6.

[0034] Figure 4 This is an isometric view of the air-cooling mechanism of this utility model. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the air guide 4 is a hollow frame fixed inside the side wall 2, with its second end covering the outside of the air outlet 21. The outer side has an air guide plate 41, the second end of which is tangent to the outer side of the container 3. For example, the air guide 4 includes two side plates 42, horizontally positioned at the upper and lower ends of the air guide plate 41, forming a hollow frame with the air guide plate 41. The inner side of the side plate 42 abuts against the inner side of the side wall 2 to cooperate with the air guide plate 41 in covering the air outlet 21. The second end of the side plate 42 is connected to the housing 5. Preferably, when viewed from above, the air guide plate 41 is curved. From the first end of the air guide plate 41, the distance between the air guide plate 41 and the axis of the container 3 gradually decreases, reducing the collision between the incoming air and the air guide plate, avoiding changes in air direction and airflow loss, and ensuring cooling efficiency.

[0035] The air outlet of the fan 6 is connected to the first end of the air guide 4.

[0036] Figure 5 This is a diagram showing the internal structure of the thermostat of this utility model. Figure 6 This is a partial exploded view of the thermostat of this utility model. Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the air-cooling mechanism further includes a housing 5, which is a hollow structure. It has a first opening 511 near the container 3, which connects to the interior of the side wall 2. The second end of the housing 5 has a second opening 53, which connects to the first end of the air guide 4. A fan 6 is disposed inside the housing 5. The inlet end of the fan 6 connects to the first opening 511, and the outlet end of the fan 6 passes through the second opening 53 and extends into the air guide 4.

[0037] For example, the housing 5 includes a first cover 51 and a second cover 52. A first opening 511 is formed inside the first cover 51, and the second cover 52 is screwed to the outside of the first cover 51. The first cover 51 and the second cover 52 form a hollow structure with a second opening 53 at one end. For example, the air guide 4 is integrally formed with the second cover 52. The installation and replacement of the fan 6 can be completed by simply disassembling the first cover 51, which is convenient to use and provides good strength for the air-cooling mechanism.

[0038] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, further, a connector 43 is provided at the lower end of the air guide 4, and the lower end of the connector 43 is connected to the screw at the top inside the base 1. For example, a stud 12 is provided at the top inside the base 1, and a sleeve 431 is provided at the lower end of the inner side of the connector 43. The sleeve 431 is fitted onto the outside of the stud 12, and the screw passes through the sleeve 431 and is threadedly connected to the stud 12. This not only provides a firm fixation but also ensures good positioning of the air guide 4, guaranteeing that it can fit tightly against the inner wall of the side wall 2, resulting in a reliable cooling effect.

[0039] In this embodiment, the fan 6 draws air into the air guide 4. Since the second end of the air guide plate 41 is tangent to the outside of the container 3, the airflow enters the air guide 4 and is guided by the air guide plate 41. It is then blown out from the air outlet 21 in a direction tangent to the outer surface of the container 3 and flows along the gap between the container 3 and the side wall 2, reducing the loss of airflow rebound and improving cooling efficiency.

[0040] Second embodiment:

[0041] This embodiment discloses a thermostat.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the thermostat includes a base 1, a side wall 2, a container 3, and a cooling mechanism. The side wall 2 is a hollow structure, mounted on the base 1, with an air outlet 21 on its inner side facing the container 3. The container 3 is removably mounted on the base 1, with a gap between its outer side and the inner side of the side wall 2. The cooling mechanism, as in the first embodiment, is located inside the side wall 2.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, the lower end of the base 1 is provided with an air inlet 11, the interior of the base 1 is connected to the interior of the side wall 2, the air inlet 11 is connected to the first opening 511, and the fan 6 can draw in external air through the air inlet 11.

[0044] In this embodiment, the air-cooling mechanism is detachably installed inside the side wall 2, making full use of the internal space of the side wall 2, and has a simple structure that is easy to install and disassemble.

[0045] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0046] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
