Adjust the fixing part 2 and the clamping part 3, then abut the inner wall of one side of the base 1 against the outer wall of one side of the temperature control equipment, and align the clamping part 3 with the end cap. Then adjust the fixing part 2 to make it fit the base 1 tightly against the temperature control equipment. Then adjust the clamping part 3 to move towards the end cap to resist the elastic force of the spring in the temperature control valve. When the end cap contacts the mounting hole on the temperature control equipment, rotate the end cap to install the end cap on the mounting cavity of the temperature control equipment, thereby completing the installation of the temperature control valve end cap. Finally, use an Allen wrench to insert into the opening on the end cap to firmly connect the temperature control valve to the temperature control equipment.

[0038] This utility model places the clamping component 3 and the fixing component 2 on the same side of the base 1. When installing the end cover of the temperature control valve, the fixing component 2 can securely connect the base 1 and the temperature control equipment. The movable clamping component 3 can offset the rebound force of the elastic component on the temperature control valve, thereby pressing the end cover onto the temperature control equipment. It has the advantages of simple structure and convenient operation, effectively reducing the difficulty of temperature control valve installation, shortening maintenance time, and effectively reducing losses caused by equipment downtime.

[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the base 1 includes a crossbar 102, a first upright 103 and a second upright 104. The first upright 103 is vertically arranged at one end of the crossbar 102, and the second upright 104 is vertically arranged at the other end of the crossbar 102.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the adjusting rod 105 and the second upright rod 104 are movably connected in the vertical direction, and the clamping member 3 is located above the fixing member 2.

[0044] This utility model movably connects the adjusting rod 105 to the second upright rod 104. By adjusting the adjusting rod 105 to different heights, temperature control valves at different heights can be installed.

[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second upright 104 has a through hole 106 along its length, and the adjusting rod 105 is movably installed in the through hole 106.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second upright 104 is provided with a through hole 106 that extends vertically, and the adjusting rod 105 is movably inserted into the through hole 106 from above the second upright 104. The outer wall size of the adjusting rod 105 matches the size of the through hole 106.

[0047] This utility model movably installs the adjusting rod 105 in the through hole 106, which facilitates the adjustment of the height of the adjusting rod 105. At the same time, the second upright rod 104 and the adjusting rod 105, which are nested together, have better stability.

[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the second upright 104 is provided with a first mounting hole 107, and the adjusting rod 105 is provided with a plurality of second mounting holes 108 along the length direction.

[0050] In this invention, the fixing member 2 is inserted into the first mounting hole 107 and the second mounting hole 108, which can ensure that the second upright 104 and the adjusting rod 105 are firmly connected, thereby ensuring that the adjusting member is aligned with the temperature control valve to be installed.

[0051] In one embodiment, the first mounting hole 107 and / or the second mounting hole 108 are provided with internal threads, and the outer wall of the fastener 2 is provided with external threads.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second mounting hole 108 is a threaded hole that matches the external thread on the fastener 2.

[0053] In this utility model, the fixing member 2 is threadedly connected to the first mounting hole 107 and / or the second mounting hole 108. By rotating the fixing member 2, the base 1 and the temperature control equipment can be firmly supported. It has the advantages of simple structure and convenient operation.

[0054] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the adjusting rod 105 is provided with a third mounting hole 109, the third mounting hole 109 is provided with an internal thread, and the outer wall of the clamping member 3 is provided with an external thread.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the third mounting hole 109 is a threaded hole that matches the external thread on the clamping member 3.

[0056] In this utility model, the adjusting component and the third mounting hole 109 are connected by threads. By rotating the adjusting clamping component 3, the clamping component 3 can be brought into contact with the end cover of the temperature control valve, thereby offsetting the rebound force of the elastic component on the other side of the temperature control valve, which makes it easier for the operator to install the end cover.

[0057] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the end of the clamping member 3 furthest from the temperature control valve is provided with a first knob 301.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clamping component 3 is not specifically limited. For example, in this embodiment, the clamping component 3 is a set screw, and the first knob 301 is the set screw head at the end of the set screw. The set screw head is hexagonal, which makes it easy for the operator to turn it with tools such as a wrench.

[0059] This utility model provides a first knob 301 on the clamping component 3 to facilitate the operator to rotate the clamping component 3.

[0060] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a second knob 201 is provided at the end of the fixing member 2 away from the temperature control device.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fixing member 2 is not specifically limited. For example, in this embodiment, the fixing member 2 is a bolt, and the second knob 201 is a hexagonal bolt head, which makes it easy for the operator to turn it with tools such as a wrench.

[0062] This utility model provides a second knob 201 on the fixing member 2 to facilitate the operator to rotate the fixing member 2.

[0063] In one embodiment, the base 1 has an anti-slip pad inside.

[0064] In this embodiment, the anti-slip mat is not specifically limited. For example, the anti-slip mat in this embodiment can be a rubber mat or the like.

[0065] The present invention provides an anti-slip pad on the inner wall of the base 1, which increases the friction between the base 1 and the temperature control device, ensuring that the temperature control valve replacement device is firmly connected to the temperature control device during use.

[0066] In this embodiment, the temperature control valve replacement device is used as follows:

[0067] When a temperature control valve needs to be installed, first install the base 1 on the temperature control device, so that the first upright 103 on the base 1 abuts against the side of the temperature control device away from the temperature control valve. Then move the adjusting rod 105 so that the third mounting hole 109 corresponds to the position of the temperature control valve to be installed. Then insert the fixing piece 2 into the first mounting hole 107 and the second mounting hole 108, and rotate the fixing piece 2 to make it abut tightly against the temperature control device. At this time, the base 1 and the temperature control device are firmly connected. Then insert the clamping piece 3 into the third mounting hole 109. Then put the end of the temperature control valve with the spring into the mounting cavity on the temperature control device, and abut the end cap against the temperature control valve. Rotate the clamping piece 3 so that the clamping piece 3 gradually abuts against the end cap and presses the end cap against the opening of the mounting cavity. At this time, the temperature control valve is installed. Rotate the clamping piece 3 and the fixing piece 2 in the opposite direction to remove the temperature control valve replacement device from the temperature control device.
