Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermostat manufacturing and processing technology, specifically to the selection of multi-angle brackets for the shape of thermostat components. Background Technology
[0002] A snap-action thermostat is a temperature control device based on the principle of bimetallic strip deformation under heat. It achieves circuit switching through instantaneous mechanical action and is widely used in overheat protection and precise temperature control scenarios for household appliances and industrial equipment. When the temperature of the main component of the product increases or decreases, the heat generated is transferred to the bimetallic disc. When the set operating temperature is reached, the thermostat quickly activates, causing the contacts to open or close through the mechanism, thereby connecting or disconnecting the circuit and controlling the circuit. In the production process of thermostat components, after the assembly work is completed, the thermostats usually need to be sorted and inspected to control the pass rate and quality of the thermostat components.
[0003] The sorting of the aforementioned thermostats is mainly achieved through a visual positioning and robotic arm sorting system, combined with a multi-station testing platform to simultaneously complete appearance, size, and electrical inspections. Visual positioning requires the use of image recognition cameras to identify the assembled thermostat casings using image recognition technology to distinguish between qualified and unqualified products. However, when existing brackets are used to mount CCD cameras, the cameras need to transmit images from multiple angles for image recognition and detection. This requires multiple brackets to work together, resulting in a large number of devices in the space, which is very inconvenient for subsequent maintenance, adjustment, disassembly, and installation. Therefore, we propose using multi-angle brackets for thermostat component shape sorting. Utility Model Content
[0004] The summary section of this application is intended to provide a brief overview of the concepts, which will be described in detail in the detailed description section below. This summary section is not intended to identify key or essential features of the claimed technical solutions, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed technical solutions.
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-angle bracket for the shape of the thermostat assembly, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: The thermostat assembly is designed with a multi-angle bracket, including a main bracket. CCD connecting frames are distributed on both sides of the main bracket. The main bracket includes a main support rod. Slide grooves are formed on the outer walls of both sides of the main support rod. Adjustment screw holes are arranged inside the slide grooves. A base plate is fixed to the bottom end of the main support rod. Multiple sets of adjusting sleeves are fitted onto the top end of the main support rod, and a positioning bolt is inserted into one end of each adjusting sleeve. A ring groove rail is fixed around the bottom end of each adjusting sleeve. External toothed rings are fixed around the outer wall of the ring groove rail. An adjusting ring is fitted against the outer wall of the ring groove rail. Internal toothed rings are arranged around the inner wall of the adjusting ring. A connecting sleeve is fixed to one side of the outer wall of the adjusting ring, and a connecting rod is sleeved onto one end of the connecting sleeve.
[0007] Furthermore, multiple sets of adjusting sleeves are sleeved along the outer wall of the main support rod, and each set of adjusting sleeves forms a lifting and sliding structure with the main support rod through a sliding groove.
[0008] Furthermore, the adjusting sleeve is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw hole in the slide groove by a positioning bolt, and the adjusting screw hole is arranged at equal intervals along the middle of the slide groove.
[0009] Furthermore, the adjusting ring rotates and slides with the bottom end of the adjusting sleeve via the ring groove rail, and the inner wall of the adjusting ring rotates through the meshing of the inner toothed ring and the outer toothed ring of the outer wall of the ring groove rail, and the inner toothed ring and the outer toothed ring are made of plastic.
[0010] Furthermore, the connecting rod forms a rotating structure with the outer wall of the adjusting ring through the connecting sleeve, and both the connecting rod and the outer wall of the main support rod are provided with scale lines.
[0011] Furthermore, the CCD connector includes a mounting sleeve, a connecting rod is fitted on the inner wall of the mounting sleeve, a top bolt is connected to the top of the mounting sleeve, a shaft bracket is axially connected to the bottom of the mounting sleeve, a rotating seat is fixed to the bottom of the shaft bracket, and a mounting plate is fixed to the bottom surface of the rotating seat.
[0012] Furthermore, the mounting sleeve slides along the connecting rod, and the mounting plate is movably connected to the bottom end of the mounting sleeve via a rotating seat and a shaft bracket.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This bracket uses a multi-angle support. The adjustment ring can be connected to the ring groove rail, allowing the adjustment ring to slide along the outer wall of the adjustment sleeve for adjustment. During the adjustment process, the internal outer and inner toothed rings mesh with each other to maintain the limit after rapid adjustment, ensuring the stability of the connecting rod angle after adjustment. Through the combination and installation of multiple sets of adjustment sleeves and connecting rods in this bracket, not only can the CCD inspection camera mounted on each set of connecting rods be flexibly adjusted in inspection angle, but it can also achieve the purpose of mounting multiple sets of inspection equipment on a single main support rod, without the need for multiple sets of brackets, saving installation space, and facilitating the disassembly and installation process during maintenance and adjustment, providing convenience.
[0015] Furthermore, when the connecting rod of the multi-angle bracket is rotated and adjusted with the connecting sleeve, the connection between the connecting sleeve and the connecting rod also adopts the method of mutual meshing of the outer toothed ring and the inner toothed ring. Through this meshing positioning method, it can be adjusted and fixed at any time. Moreover, the scale lines set on the outer wall of the connecting rod and the main support rod can make it convenient for users to make corresponding adjustments according to the height and other positions of the temperature controller product line, which facilitates accurate position detection and adaptation.
[0016] In addition, the multi-angle bracket is selected for adjustment by sliding the mounting sleeve and connecting rod. With the threaded tightening of the top bolt, the top of the mounting sleeve can form a top pressure and press and fix it to the connecting rod, keeping the adjusted position stable. The mounting plate can be threaded and installed with the CCD camera, and with the shaft bracket and rotating seat, the horizontal and vertical rotation angles can be adjusted, which facilitates the camera to test the temperature controller product line at different angles.

[0026] This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0027] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4 The thermostat assembly shown is designed with a multi-angle bracket, including a main bracket 1. CCD connecting brackets 2 are distributed on both sides of the main bracket 1. The main bracket 1 includes a main support rod 101. Slide grooves 102 are opened on the outer walls of both sides of the main support rod 101. Adjustment screw holes 103 are arranged inside the slide grooves 102. A base plate 104 is fixed to the bottom end of the main support rod 101. Multiple sets of adjustment sleeves 105 are sleeved on the top end of the main support rod 101. A positioning bolt 106 is inserted into one end of the adjustment sleeve 105. A ring groove rail 107 is fixed around the bottom end of the adjustment sleeve 105. An external toothed ring 108 is fixed around the outer wall of the ring groove rail 107. An adjustment ring 109 is attached to the outer wall of the ring groove rail 107. An internal toothed ring 110 is arranged around the inner wall of the adjustment ring 109. A connecting sleeve 111 is fixed to one side of the outer wall of the adjustment ring 109. A connecting rod 112 is sleeved on one end of the connecting sleeve 111.
[0028] To ensure stable mounting and placement of this bracket when sorting temperature controllers, such as Figure 1-3As shown, the multi-angle bracket for sorting consists of a main support rod 101, multiple sets of adjusting sleeves 105 each mounted with connecting rods 112, and a CCD connecting frame 2. During use, it can be installed and fixed with the processing equipment in conjunction with the base plate 104 at the bottom of the main support rod 101. During the sorting and inspection process, the adjusting ring 109 can be connected to the ring groove rail 107, allowing the adjusting ring 109 to slide along the outer wall of the adjusting sleeve 105 for adjustment. During the adjustment process, the internal outer toothed ring 108 and inner toothed ring 110 mesh with each other to maintain the limit after rapid adjustment, ensuring that the angle of the connecting rod 112 is stable after adjustment. Through the combined installation of multiple sets of adjusting sleeves 105 and connecting rods 112 in this bracket, not only can the CCD inspection camera mounted on each set of connecting rods 112 flexibly adjust the inspection angle, but it can also achieve the purpose of mounting multiple sets of inspection equipment on a single main support rod 101, without the need for multiple sets of brackets, saving installation space, and facilitating the disassembly and installation process during maintenance and adjustment, thus providing convenience.
[0029] When the connecting rod 112 is rotated and adjusted with the connecting sleeve 111, the connection between the connecting sleeve 111 and the connecting rod 112 also adopts the method of mutual meshing of the outer toothed ring 108 and the inner toothed ring 110. Through this meshing positioning method, it can be adjusted and fixed at any time. In addition, the scale lines set on the outer wall of the connecting rod 112 and the main support rod 101 can facilitate users to make corresponding adjustments according to the height and other positions of the temperature controller product line, which facilitates accurate position detection and adaptation.
[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the CCD connector 2 includes a mounting sleeve 201, a connecting rod 112 is fitted on the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 201, a top bolt 202 is connected to the top of the mounting sleeve 201, a shaft bracket 203 is axially connected to the bottom of the mounting sleeve 201, a rotating seat 204 is fixed to the bottom of the shaft bracket 203, and a mounting plate 205 is fixed to the bottom surface of the rotating seat 204.
[0031] To facilitate the adjustment of local angles after mounting a CCD camera, such as Figure 4 As shown, the multi-angle bracket selected by the shape can be adjusted by sliding the mounting sleeve 201 and the connecting rod 112. With the thread of the top bolt 202 tightened, the top of the mounting sleeve 201 can form a top pressure and press and fix it with the connecting rod 112, keeping the adjusted position stable. The mounting plate 205 can be threaded and installed with the CCD camera, and with the shaft bracket 203 and the rotating seat 204, the horizontal and vertical rotation angles can be adjusted, so as to facilitate the camera to detect the temperature controller product line at different angles.
[0032] In summary, when using this multi-angle bracket, the user first secures it to the working environment via the base plate 104 at the bottom of the main support rod 101. Then, according to the number of monitoring cameras required for different angles of the temperature controller product line to be monitored, the corresponding number of adjustment sleeves 105 are mounted. The cameras are then threadedly connected to the mounting plate 205. During monitoring and adjustment, the angle of the connecting rod 112 is adjusted by rotating the adjustment ring 109. As the outer toothed ring 108 and the inner toothed ring 110 mesh, the self-locking limit is completed during the rotation process. After the angle of the connecting rod 112 is adjusted, the rotation seat 204 and the shaft bracket 203 are rotated according to the shooting angle of the camera for testing.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in the embodiments of this disclosure is not limited to the technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the above-described inventive concept.
