Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermostats, specifically a mini thermostat. Background Technology

[0002] Thermostatic valves are a typical application of flow control valves in the field of temperature control. Their basic principle is to control the outlet temperature of heat exchangers, air conditioning units, or other heat- or cold-using equipment by controlling the inlet flow rate of the primary heat or heat medium. When the load changes, the flow rate is adjusted by changing the valve opening to eliminate the effects of load fluctuations and restore the temperature to the set value.

[0003] The current temperature control valve is relatively large, and the spring added to the outside of the temperature sensing bulb does not directly contact the metal shell, resulting in insufficient temperature sensing speed, which needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a miniature thermostat to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, which has the advantages of being small in size and having rapid sensing capabilities.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a miniature thermostat, comprising a housing, wherein a first threaded plate is snapped onto the housing, and a second threaded plate is threaded onto the first threaded plate; a temperature sensing bulb is disposed inside the housing, and a threaded tube is disposed inside the temperature sensing bulb; a pressing rod is disposed inside the threaded tube; the lower end of the pressing rod is circular and has an inwardly recessed arc-shaped groove; the second threaded plate includes an annular plate in the middle, and a through groove is disposed at the bottom of the annular plate for the pressing rod to pass through and to fit with the lower end of the pressing rod.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating shell drives the first threaded plate to rotate. The first threaded plate and the second threaded plate are threadedly connected. During this process, the first threaded plate moves along its own axis, thereby driving the temperature sensing bulb to move. The movement of the temperature sensing bulb drives the threaded tube to move, thereby driving the pressing rod to move to the required position. The lower end of the pressing rod cooperates with the through groove to restrict the rotation of the pressing rod, so that the pressing rod can only move along its own length direction.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the upper side of the temperature sensing bag is provided with a feed hole penetrating the temperature sensing bag, and the temperature sensing bag is integrally connected with a feed channel located at the feed hole, and the feed channel is provided with a sealing ball for sealing.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the feed channel is designed to facilitate liquid filling, and the sealing ball provides a sealing function.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the pressing rod includes an upper rod and a lower rod that are interlocked with each other. The lower rod has a first receiving groove on the side facing the upper rod for accommodating the upper rod, and the upper rod has a second receiving groove on the side facing the lower rod. The lower rod is integrally connected to a limiting rod located in the second receiving groove, and the limiting rod is sleeved with an overpressure spring located in the second receiving groove.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the temperature is too high, the liquid inside the temperature sensing bulb will expand. The pressing rod itself has a certain deformation capability, which can buffer the space occupied by the expansion of the liquid. This process is that the upper rod moves in the direction of the lower rod, thereby compressing the overpressure spring and shortening the overall length of the pressing rod.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: the annular plate is circumferentially sleeved with a return spring located in the circumferential direction of the lower rod.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the return spring is designed to give the lower rod the ability to return to its original position.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the outer shell and the first threaded plate are connected by a clamping plate, one end of the clamping plate is integrally connected to an outwardly protruding convex plate, one end of the clamping plate is provided with a circular groove penetrating the clamping plate, and one end of the clamping plate is integrally connected to an identification plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the convex plate passes through the outer shell and is inserted into the first threaded plate. During this process, the convex plate is compressed and deflected inward, so that the outer shell and the first threaded plate are engaged by the clamping plate. The marking plate is on the outside of the outer shell and cannot be inserted into the outer shell, thus playing the role of marking.

[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model, the outer shell is provided with a plurality of marking blocks in the circumferential direction.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the identification block serves the purpose of identification.

[0017] As a further improvement of this utility model: the second threaded plate is provided with a circular hole that penetrates the first threaded plate.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the circular hole allows the second threaded plate to have room for deformation.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] The rotating outer shell drives the first threaded plate to rotate. The first threaded plate and the second threaded plate are threadedly connected. During this process, the first threaded plate moves along its own axis, which in turn drives the temperature sensing bulb to move. The movement of the temperature sensing bulb drives the threaded tube to move, which in turn drives the pressing rod to move to the required position. The lower end of the pressing rod cooperates with the through groove to restrict the rotation of the pressing rod, so that the pressing rod can only move along its own length.
