[0033] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0034] See Figures 1-3 This thermostat adopts a modular structure design. The outer shell 1 is embedded with a base 2. The upper end of the base 2 is equipped with a metal sheet 3 and a diaphragm 4. The four corners of the lower end are connected to the terminals 5 by snap-fit and are engaged with riveted springs 6. The push rod 7 links the diaphragm 4 and the springs 6 to realize the contact action control. The components are connected by snap-fit and layered installation to realize quick assembly and maintenance. The riveted design of the springs 6 and terminals 5 facilitates replacement and maintenance. The linkage structure of the push rod 7 and the diaphragm 4 ensures sensitive transmission of temperature changes and accurate on / off switching. The closed layout of the cover plate 8 and the base 2 effectively protects the internal components. The overall structure is compact, highly reliable and highly adaptable to the environment.
[0035] When the metal sheet 3 is heated, it jumps, causing the diaphragm 4 to flip. The diaphragm 4 then pushes the push rod 7 to move, disengaging the spring 6 from the terminal 5, thus disconnecting the switch. After cooling, the push rod 7 can be manually pressed to reset the thermostat switch.
[0036] See Figures 2-5The base 2 adopts an integrated functional structure design. Its inner cavity has a step 9 to support the edge of the diaphragm 4, ensuring uniform force and stable movement when the diaphragm deforms due to heat. The through hole in the middle provides a precise guide channel for the upper end of the push rod 7, avoiding offset friction and ensuring the sensitivity of the push rod's vertical movement. The symmetrically arranged slots 10 at both ends of the base 2 are tightly engaged with the tail end of the terminal 5, realizing quick positioning and electrical connection fixation of the terminal. Through the coordinated design of the step, through hole and slot, the accuracy of diaphragm deformation transmission is ensured, and the stability of terminal assembly is enhanced. The modular structure simplifies the production process, reduces component matching errors, and facilitates later maintenance or replacement of key components.
[0037] The base 2 has a recessed mounting groove at its bottom. The two ends of the cover plate 8 are precisely inserted into the mounting groove of the base 2 by molding mounting blocks 11, forming a closed and fixed structure. The snap-fit between the mounting blocks 11 and the base 2 can achieve quick positioning and stable installation of the cover plate 8 without additional fasteners, greatly simplifying the assembly process. The recessed mounting groove provides mechanical restraint on the lateral displacement of the cover plate 8, effectively preventing the risk of loosening caused by vibration or impact. The tight fit between the cover plate 8 and the base 2 ensures the sealing and protection of the internal components. At the same time, the detachable design facilitates non-destructive disassembly and assembly during maintenance, taking into account both structural reliability and maintenance convenience.
[0038] See Figures 6-8 This temperature controller adopts a dual-terminal 5 side-mounted design. One side terminal 5 is connected to the limiting hole of the spring 6 through the bottom limiting post 12, which precisely constrains the horizontal displacement of the spring 6. The upper end of the other side terminal 5 is fixed with a stationary contact 13. The corresponding side of the spring 6 forms an initial closed state with the stationary contact 13 through the moving contact 14. The hole shaft cooperation between the limiting post 12 and the spring 6 ensures the alignment accuracy of the moving contact 14 and the stationary contact 13, avoiding poor contact caused by movement deviation. The split contact design makes it easy to replace the contact individually after contact wear, reducing maintenance costs. The initial contact state of the stationary contact 13 and the moving contact 14 ensures the stability of circuit conduction, and the contact can quickly separate to respond to the temperature control signal when the spring 6 is deformed. The modular terminal group structure simplifies the assembly process and improves production efficiency and product consistency.
[0039] The push rod 7 has an outwardly protruding stop 15 in the middle. The upper surface of the spring 6 forms a contact fit with the lower edge of the stop 15 through the arc-shaped contact block 16. The convex design of the arc-shaped contact block 16 can adapt to the displacement trajectory of the push rod 7, ensuring that the pressure distribution is uniform when the stop 15 contacts the spring 6, reducing local wear. The limiting function of the stop 15 can accurately control the stroke range of the push rod 7, avoiding overshoot and plastic deformation of the spring 6. At the same time, the linear contact mode between the contact block 16 and the stop 15 improves the force transmission efficiency, enabling the spring 6 to respond quickly when the temperature control action is triggered, enhancing the sensitivity and consistency of the contact point disconnection. The overall structure is compact and reliable, and is suitable for high-frequency action scenarios.
[0040] An initial gap is reserved between the reed 6 and the cover plate 8 to form a non-contact buffer space, the gap allows the reed 6 to move in parallel in the temperature control action, avoids mechanical interference of the cover plate 8 to its displacement track, guarantees the action sensitivity and the stroke integrity; at the same time, the non-contact state of the reed 6 and the cover plate 8 can eliminate the friction loss, prolong the fatigue life of the reed 6; in addition, the gap provides a redundant tolerance space for the thermal expansion or vibration fluctuation of the reed 6, prevents stress concentration or abnormal contact of the contact due to material deformation, and improves the stability and reliability of the temperature controller under complex working conditions.
[0041] The temperature controller shell 1 is designed with an integral mounting plate extending outward on both sides, and the mounting plate is uniformly distributed with through holes as fixing interfaces, and the outwardly expanded mounting plate forms multi-point dispersed support through extension force arm, reduces the risk of local load concentration of the mounting surface, and avoids deformation of the shell 1 due to fastening pressure; the through hole is adapted to a standardized fastener, and is compatible with screws, rivets or buckles and various fixing modes.
