Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of constant temperature control technology, and in particular to a thermostat. Background Technology

[0002] As the performance of handheld devices such as smartphones and tablets continues to improve, their internal electronic components generate a significant amount of heat when running high-performance applications or fast charging. This heat generation not only affects device performance but can also lead to a decline in user experience and even adversely impact the long-term reliability of the device.

[0003] To address these issues, various heat sinks suitable for handheld devices have emerged on the market. These heat sinks are designed to reduce the surface temperature of handheld devices, preventing sustained high temperatures from affecting them. However, existing heat sinks primarily focus on heat dissipation, providing cooling only when the device temperature is too high. Their functionality is relatively limited and cannot meet other customer needs. For example, in low-temperature environments, handheld devices may experience reduced battery activity or sluggish screen response, affecting usability, a problem that heat sinks cannot solve.

[0008] A temperature detection component is used to detect the temperature of the handheld terminal and output a corresponding temperature detection signal.

[0009] The main control module is electrically connected to the temperature detection component, the heating component and the heat dissipation component respectively. The main control module is used to control the heat dissipation component to work when the temperature of the handheld terminal is detected to be greater than the upper limit temperature threshold according to the temperature detection signal, so as to make the temperature of the handheld terminal lower than the upper limit temperature threshold.

[0010] If the temperature of the handheld terminal is detected to be less than or equal to the lower temperature threshold based on the temperature detection signal, the heating component is controlled to operate so that the temperature of the handheld terminal is greater than the lower temperature threshold.

[0011] In one embodiment, the heating component is a graphene / PTC composite heating element.

[0012] In one embodiment, the heat dissipation assembly includes:

[0013] A vortex fan and a liquid metal heat sink, wherein the vortex fan is connected to the liquid metal heat sink.

[0014] In one embodiment, the thermostat further includes a wireless charging module, the input terminal of which is used to connect to an external power source, and the controlled terminal of which is electrically connected to the main control module.

[0015] The main control module is used to control the wireless charging module to wirelessly charge the handheld terminal when it receives a control command.

[0016] In one embodiment, the thermostat further includes:

[0017] The system includes an NFC module and a Bluetooth module, both of which are electrically connected to the main control module. The NFC module is used to output a detection signal to the main control module when a handheld terminal is detected, so that the main control module controls the Bluetooth module to establish a Bluetooth communication connection with the handheld terminal to receive status parameters sent by the handheld terminal.

[0018] The main control module is also used to control the wireless charging module to wirelessly charge the handheld terminal when the detection signal is received, and to control the temperature detection component to detect the temperature of the handheld terminal.

[0019] In one embodiment, the thermostat further includes:

[0020] A wireless communication module is electrically connected to the main control module; the wireless communication module is used to establish a wireless communication connection with an external terminal.

[0021] The main control module is used to send the status parameters of the handheld terminal to an external terminal via the wireless communication module.

[0022] In one embodiment, the thermostat has multiple signal transmission interfaces, which are electrically connected to the main control module. The main control module is used to access the controlled device via the signal transmission interfaces.

[0028] A voltage detection module is provided, wherein the detection terminal of the voltage detection module is connected to the power input terminal, and the output terminal of the voltage detection module is electrically connected to the main control module. The voltage detection module is used to detect the voltage at the power input terminal and output a corresponding voltage detection signal.

[0029] When the main control module detects that the voltage at the power input terminal is less than a preset voltage threshold based on the voltage detection signal, it controls the battery to discharge.

[0030] This utility model relates to a thermostat designed for close contact with a handheld terminal. The thermostat includes a heating component, a heat dissipation component, and a temperature detection component. The temperature detection component detects the temperature of the handheld terminal and outputs a corresponding temperature detection signal. A main control module is electrically connected to the temperature detection component, heating component, and heat dissipation component. The main control module controls the heat dissipation component to operate when the handheld terminal's temperature exceeds an upper temperature threshold, thus lowering the handheld terminal's temperature below the upper temperature threshold. Conversely, it controls the heating component to operate when the handheld terminal's temperature is less than or equal to a lower temperature threshold, thus raising the handheld terminal's temperature above the lower temperature threshold. With this design, in practical applications, this utility model's thermostat can not only dissipate heat to lower the handheld terminal's temperature when it is too high, but also add heat to raise the handheld terminal's temperature when it is too low, thereby ensuring the handheld terminal's performance stability and user comfort.

[0044] As the performance of handheld devices such as smartphones and tablets continues to improve, their internal electronic components generate a significant amount of heat when running high-performance applications or fast charging. This heat generation not only affects device performance but can also lead to a decline in user experience and even adversely impact the long-term reliability of the device.

[0045] To address these issues, various heat sinks suitable for handheld devices have emerged on the market. These heat sinks are designed to reduce the surface temperature of handheld devices, preventing sustained high temperatures from affecting them. However, existing heat sinks primarily focus on heat dissipation, providing cooling only when the device temperature is too high. Their functionality is relatively limited and cannot meet other customer needs. For example, in low-temperature environments, handheld devices may experience reduced battery activity or sluggish screen response, affecting usability, a problem that heat sinks cannot solve.

[0046] Therefore, this utility model proposes a thermostat to solve the technical problem of the relatively limited functionality of existing radiators. In one embodiment of this utility model, referring to... Figure 1 The thermostat includes:

[0047] Heating component 10;

[0048] Heat dissipation component 20;

[0049] Temperature detection component 30, which is used to detect the temperature of the handheld terminal and output a corresponding temperature detection signal;

[0050] The main control module 40 is electrically connected to the temperature detection component 30, the heating component 10 and the heat dissipation component 20 respectively. The main control module 40 is used to control the heat dissipation component 20 to work when the temperature of the handheld terminal is detected to be greater than the upper limit temperature threshold according to the temperature detection signal, so as to make the temperature of the handheld terminal lower than the upper limit temperature threshold.

[0051] If the temperature of the handheld terminal is detected to be less than or equal to the lower temperature threshold based on the temperature detection signal, the heating component 10 is controlled to operate so that the temperature of the handheld terminal is greater than the lower temperature threshold.

[0052] In this embodiment, the thermostat includes a housing with a placement slot for placing / fitting the handheld terminal. The temperature detection component 30, the heating component 10, and the heat dissipation component 20 are all fitted into the inner wall of the placement slot (the placement slot is located on the wall inside the housing), so that the temperature detection component 30, the heating component 10, and the heat dissipation component 20 can respectively provide better temperature measurement, heating, and heat dissipation effects for the handheld terminal.

[0053] In this embodiment, the heating component 10 can be implemented using a graphene / PTC composite heating element, or it can be implemented using a resistance heating element or a semiconductor heating element; no limitation is made here.

[0054] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation component 20 can be implemented using a vortex fan and a liquid metal heat sink. One side of the liquid metal heat sink is attached to the inner wall of the placement groove, and the vortex fan is installed on the other side of the liquid metal heat sink with its air outlet facing the surface of the heat sink, so that the airflow generated by the fan can directly act on the surface of the heat sink and carry away heat. The liquid metal heat sink has a high thermal conductivity, enabling it to quickly transfer heat from the handheld terminal to the surface of the heat sink, thereby reducing the temperature of the handheld terminal. The vortex fan generates a high-speed airflow through rotating blades, which blows directly onto the surface of the liquid metal heat sink. The airflow carries away the heat from the surface of the heat sink, significantly improving heat exchange efficiency and thus reducing the temperature of the heat sink, allowing it to continue absorbing heat from the handheld terminal.

[0055] In this embodiment, the temperature detection component 30 can be implemented using multiple thermistors. The multiple thermistors are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the placement slot to detect the temperature of various parts of the handheld terminal. The main control module 40 determines the temperature of the handheld terminal by detecting the voltage or resistance of the multiple thermistors. When the temperature of the handheld terminal is determined to be greater than the upper temperature threshold or less than the lower temperature threshold based on the voltage or resistance of one of the thermistors, the heat dissipation component 20 or the heating component 10 is controlled to work.

[0056] In addition, the temperature detection component 30 can also be implemented using a temperature sensor, such as a digital temperature sensor, an infrared temperature sensor, or a MEMS temperature sensor, without limitation.

[0057] In this embodiment, the main control module 40 can be implemented using MCU (Microcontroller Unit), DSP (Digital Signal Processor), FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), SOC (System On Chip), etc.

[0058] This utility model relates to a thermostat designed for close contact with a handheld terminal. The thermostat includes a heating component 10, a heat dissipation component 20, and a temperature detection component 30. The temperature detection component 30 detects the temperature of the handheld terminal and outputs a corresponding temperature detection signal. A main control module 40 is electrically connected to the temperature detection component 30, the heating component 10, and the heat dissipation component 20. The main control module 40 controls the heat dissipation component 20 to operate when the temperature of the handheld terminal is detected to be higher than the upper temperature threshold, thereby lowering the temperature of the handheld terminal below the upper temperature threshold. Conversely, it controls the heating component 10 to operate when the temperature of the handheld terminal is detected to be lower than or equal to the lower temperature threshold, thereby raising the temperature of the handheld terminal. With this design, in practical applications, this utility model thermostat can not only dissipate heat to lower the temperature of the handheld terminal when it is too high, but also heat the handheld terminal when it is too low, thereby ensuring the performance stability of the handheld terminal and the user's grip comfort.

[0059] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 2 The thermostat also includes a wireless charging module 50, the input terminal of which is used to connect to an external power source, and the controlled terminal of which is electrically connected to the main control module 40.

[0060] The main control module 40 is used to control the wireless charging module 50 to wirelessly charge the handheld terminal when it receives a control command.

[0061] In this embodiment, the wireless charging module 50 is located at the center of the inner wall of the placement slot so that the wireless charging module 50 can be better aligned with the receiving coil of the handheld terminal, thereby reducing energy loss during the energy transmission process and improving wireless charging efficiency.

[0062] It should be noted that when the wireless charging module 50 is located at the center of the inner wall of the placement slot, the heat dissipation component 20 and the heating component 10 can be attached to the non-wireless charging area of ​​the inner wall of the placement slot, such as being located on both sides of the wireless charging module 50, to avoid the range of the transmitting coil of the wireless charging module 50. Furthermore, heat insulation material can be added between the heating component 10 and the wireless charging module 50 to prevent the heat generated by the heating component 10 from affecting the wireless charging performance.

[0063] In this embodiment, the wireless charging module 50 can be implemented using a Qi 2.0 standard coil. The Qi 2.0 standard coil supports 15W wireless charging, which can meet the fast charging needs of most handheld terminals (such as smartphones and tablets). With this configuration, compared to existing heat sinks, the thermostat of this invention also supports charging the handheld terminal. The coordinated design of charging and temperature control ensures that the handheld terminal can charge quickly while maintaining a suitable operating temperature under high load.

[0064] In addition, the wireless charging module 50 has magnetic contacts for docking with the handheld terminal and for attracting the handheld terminal with the magnetic components of the handheld terminal through the built-in magnet, so as to fix the handheld terminal and prevent the handheld terminal from sliding or falling off the charging area of ​​the wireless charging module 50 due to external forces (such as vibration or movement).

[0065] To further facilitate the wireless charging module 50 in charging the handheld terminal, in one embodiment, referencing Figure 3 The thermostat also includes:

[0066] The NFC module 60 and the Bluetooth module 70 are both electrically connected to the main control module 40. The NFC module 60 is used to output a detection signal to the main control module 40 when a handheld terminal is detected, so that the main control module 40 controls the Bluetooth module 70 to establish a Bluetooth communication connection with the handheld terminal to receive status parameters sent by the handheld terminal.

[0067] The main control module 40 is also used to control the wireless charging module 50 to wirelessly charge the handheld terminal when the detection signal is received, and to control the temperature detection component 30 to detect the temperature of the handheld terminal.

[0068] With the above settings, the wireless charging module 50 can directly charge the handheld terminal when it is placed in the slot, without requiring manual triggering by the user, thus improving the convenience of operation. At this time, the main control module 40 can receive status parameters such as the remaining battery level sent by the mobile phone through the Bluetooth module 70, and can display the remaining battery level of the mobile phone through the display module or indicator light. This eliminates the need for users to frequently check the mobile phone screen, improving the user experience.

[0069] Furthermore, the temperature detection component 30 also detects the temperature of the handheld terminal when it is placed in the placement slot, eliminating the need to start detection directly when the thermostat of this invention is activated. This reduces the number of times the temperature detection component 30 is used and extends its service life.

[0070] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 4 The thermostat also includes:

[0071] The wireless communication module 80 is electrically connected to the main control module 40; the wireless communication module 80 is used to establish a wireless communication connection with an external terminal.

[0072] The main control module 40 is used to send the status parameters of the handheld terminal to an external terminal via the wireless communication module 80.

[0073] In this embodiment, the wireless communication module 80 can be implemented using 4G / 5G communication chips, WIFI communication chips, Bluetooth communication chips, local area network communication chips, etc.

[0074] With the above settings, the wireless communication module 80 can establish a wireless communication connection with the cloud platform, so that the thermostat can upload status parameters such as the temperature, battery level, and usage status of the handheld terminal to the cloud platform for storage and analysis. Users can view historical data through the cloud platform, such as the temperature change trend of the handheld terminal over the past week, to help determine whether the device has overheating or underheating problems, thereby better understanding the usage of the handheld terminal.

[0075] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 5 The thermostat has multiple signal transmission interfaces 90, which are electrically connected to the main control module 40. The main control module 40 is used to connect to the controlled device via the signal transmission interfaces 90.

[0076] The main control module 40 is used to control the controlled device to work according to control instructions when the detection signal is received.

[0077] In this embodiment, multiple signal transmission interfaces 90 include a Type-C interface, a magnetic interface, and GPIO pins. These interfaces 90 can be used to connect to external humidity regulators, air purifiers, and other controlled devices. The main control module 40 controls the humidity regulator or air purifier to operate upon receiving a control command. With this configuration, in practical applications, the thermostat can be placed on a user's desk or in their bedroom. When a user starts working or resting and places a mobile phone or tablet on the thermostat, the thermostat not only charges the handheld device but also controls the humidity regulator or air purifier to optimize the user's working or resting environment. For the user, simply placing the handheld device on the thermostat triggers a series of automated operations (such as charging, temperature control, and environmental optimization) without manual intervention, thus improving the overall user experience.

[0078] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 6 The thermostat also includes:

[0079] A power input terminal, which is used to connect to a power supply;

[0080] The power supply terminal is connected to the power input terminal;

[0081] Battery 110, which is electrically connected to the power supply terminal;

[0082] The heating component 10, the heat dissipation component 20, the temperature detection component 30, and the main control module 40 are all electrically connected to the power supply terminal.

[0083] A voltage detection module 100 is provided, wherein the detection end of the voltage detection module 100 is connected to the power input end, and the output end of the voltage detection module 100 is electrically connected to the main control module 40. The voltage detection module 100 is used to detect the voltage of the power input end and output a corresponding voltage detection signal.

[0084] When the main control module 40 detects that the voltage at the power input terminal is less than a preset voltage threshold based on the voltage detection signal, it controls the battery 110 to discharge.

[0085] With the above settings, when the external power supply is unstable (such as the voltage being lower than the preset threshold) or suddenly fails, the main control module 40 can switch to battery 110 power supply in a timely manner to ensure the thermostat continues to work normally. When the power input terminal restores normal power supply, the main control module 40 will automatically switch back to external power supply and stop battery 110 from discharging to avoid excessive power consumption of battery 110.

[0086] Furthermore, during outdoor activities, when there is no stable external power source, the thermostat can rely on the built-in battery 110 to provide temperature control services for the handheld terminal.

[0087] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
