[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] The following is combined Figures 1-6 This invention describes the mounting bracket for a thermostat.

[0028] In one embodiment, a mounting bracket for a thermostat, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mounting bracket for the thermostat in this embodiment includes: a housing 100 and a cover 200 hinged to the housing 100;

[0029] The disassembly and assembly mechanism 300 includes a disassembly and assembly component 310 disposed inside the housing 100, and a trigger component 320 disposed on the surface of the housing cover 200.

[0030] In this device, mounting blocks are provided on both opposite sides of the outer casing 100. The surface of the mounting blocks is provided with mounting holes. The operator uses the mounting blocks and screws to fix the outer casing 100 to the wall. At the same time, multiple ventilation slots are opened on all four sides of the outer casing 100 to provide heat dissipation for the thermostat. Before installing the thermostat, the magnetic block 3111 that mates with the magnetic block 3111 inside the outer casing 100 needs to be installed in the corresponding position of the thermostat.

[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the assembly / disassembly component 310 includes multiple magnetic blocks 3111 disposed inside the housing 100. Multiple limiting grooves 311 are formed on the inner wall of the housing 100, and the magnetic blocks 3111 are embedded within the limiting grooves 311. Drive rods 312 are slidably connected to the inner walls of both sides of the housing 100. The cross-section of the drive rods 312 is "L"-shaped. One end of the drive rod 312 extends through the housing 100 and is fixedly connected to a drive block 3121, which is slidably connected to the surface of the housing 100. A positioning rod 313 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 100. One end of the positioning rod 313 is a ball, and a first spring 3131 is sleeved on the surface of the positioning rod 313. One end of the first spring 3131 is fixedly connected to the positioning rod 313, and the other end of the first spring 3131 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 100.

[0032] In this embodiment, one end of the drive rod 312 extends through the side of the outer casing 100 and connects to the drive block 3121. The drive block 3121 is slidably connected to a groove on the surface of the outer casing 100. The other end of the drive rod 312 extends into the outer casing 100 and is fixedly connected to a gasket. This gasket is also embedded in the inner wall of the outer casing 100. When installing the thermostat, it will be embedded in the surface of the outer casing 100 and will not obstruct the installation of the thermostat. When it is necessary to operate the positioning rod 313 to push the thermostat out, the operator can directly pull the drive block 3121 to move it outward from the outer casing 100. The drive block 3121 drives the drive rod 312 to move, and the drive rod 312 drives the gasket to push the thermostat out. One end of the positioning rod 313 is spherical, and a fixing ring is fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning rod 313. A spring 3131 is fixedly connected to a fixed ring, and the plug block 324 is composed of a fixed block and a plug ring. When the plug ring is inserted into the plug slot 323, the fixed block will fit against the surface of the outer shell 100. The surface of the plug ring will compress the ball part of the positioning rod 313, causing the positioning rod 313 to compress the spring and move laterally until the plug ring is fully inserted into the plug slot 323. Then, a part of the ball of the positioning rod 313 will be inserted into the plug ring. The diameter of the ball will not exceed the plug ring. Through the slight friction between the ball and the plug ring, the shell cover 200 can be kept closed without external force. When the shell cover 200 needs to be opened, the shell cover 200 is opened to the outside. At this time, the shell cover 200 will drive the plug block 324 to move outward, causing the limiting ring to disengage from the ball, thereby completing the opening of the shell cover 200.

[0033] It should be noted that the shape inside the outer casing 100 of this device corresponds to the shape of the thermostat. Since this device provides protection by setting physical isolation outside the thermostat and can drill holes on the back of the outer casing 100 to facilitate the wiring of the thermostat, this device will not change the structural composition of the thermostat, nor will it affect the normal function of the thermostat after installation. Therefore, this device will not have any impact on the normal use of the thermostat.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the trigger assembly 320 includes a viewing window 321 disposed on the surface of the housing 200, the viewing window 321 being made of tempered glass. Multiple mechanical buttons 322 corresponding to the thermostat buttons are embedded on the surface of the housing 200. Multiple limiting blocks 3223 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 200, and the mechanical buttons 322 are slidably connected to the limiting blocks 3223. Fixing rods 3221 are fixedly connected to both sides of each mechanical button 322, and the fixing rods 3221 are slidably connected to the limiting blocks 3223. A second spring 3222 is sleeved on the surface of the fixing rod 3221, one end of the second spring 3222 being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mechanical button 322 and the other end being fixedly connected to the limiting block 3223. A plug-in block 324 is fixedly connected to the surface of the housing 200, and a plug-in groove 323 that mates with the plug-in block 324 is formed on the surface of the housing 100.

[0035] In this embodiment, the viewing window 321 is larger than the screen portion of the thermostat. After the thermostat is installed, the function button and the mechanical button 322 of the thermostat coincide. A gasket is provided at the contact portion between the mechanical button 322 and the function button. When the mechanical button 322 is pressed, the function button is triggered through the gasket. When pressed, the mechanical button 322 will move towards the thermostat as a whole. At the same time, the limiting block 3223 will compress the second spring 3222. When the function button is triggered, the mechanical button 322 is released, and the mechanical button 322 will reset under the action of the spring.

[0036] Working principle: After fixing the device to the preset position on the wall by drilling holes, turn off the power, connect the cable to the thermostat, then open the cover 200 and install the thermostat inside the outer casing 100.

[0037] During installation, after placing the thermostat directly inside the housing 100, the multiple magnetic blocks 3111 on the lower surface of the thermostat will attract each other with the magnetic blocks 3111 on the inner wall of the housing 100 until the magnetic blocks 3111 on the lower surface of the thermostat are inserted into the limiting groove 311 and fit with the magnetic blocks 3111 inside the housing 100. Then, rotate the housing cover 200 so that the plug block 324 is inserted into the plug groove 323. When the ring of the plug block 324 is inserted into the plug groove 323, the housing cover 200 is limited by the ball of the positioning rod 313 cooperating with the ring. The installation of the thermostat is thus completed. After installation, the power can be turned on.

[0038] When it is necessary to remove the thermostat from the housing 100, first open the housing cover 200, and then push the drive rod 312 upward through the drive block 3121 to push the thermostat out.

[0039] It should be noted that the first spring 3131, the second spring 3222, and the magnetic block 3111 mentioned above are all devices with relatively mature existing technology. The specific models can be selected according to actual needs, and will not be elaborated here.

[0040] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
