Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart home equipment technology, and in particular to a thermostat for use in smart homes. Background Technology
[0002] Smart home, also known as smart residence, is a living environment in which a smart home system is installed on the residence as a platform. The process of implementing a smart home system is called smart home system integration. Nowadays, smart homes can control the indoor temperature, mostly using thermostats. A thermostat is a device that regulates temperature. The temperature is transmitted to the temperature controller through the temperature protector. The temperature controller issues a switch command to control the operation of the device to achieve the ideal temperature and energy-saving effect, so that the indoor temperature can be adjusted according to the user's needs.
[0003] Most existing thermostats are fixed directly to the wall with screws, making the thermostat completely exposed. This makes it easy for dust to accumulate on the surface of the thermostat, which is difficult to clean. In addition, screws need to be installed or removed during disassembly and assembly, which is inconvenient. An existing patent (publication number: CN219761627U) discloses a smart home thermostat that is easy to install. This utility model enables quick installation and removal of the thermostat, and at the same time protects the thermostat after installation, preventing dust from accumulating on the surface of the thermostat and making it difficult to clean.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, existing patents offer solutions. However, in practical use, most existing smart home thermostats are fixedly installed on the wall, leaving the touchscreen and casing exposed to the elements. This makes them prone to accumulating dust, fingerprints, and stains. This not only affects the aesthetics and user experience but also makes cleaning and maintenance difficult due to the fixed structure. For example, repeatedly wiping with a cloth is not only ineffective at cleaning the corners and crevices but may also scratch the screen. While some existing technologies employ an overall dust cover design, they suffer from inconvenience in operation and difficulty in observing real-time temperature control data. Although film-type solutions can protect the touchscreen, they cannot solve the problem of dust accumulation on other parts of the casing, and most soft films are insufficient to provide effective impact protection for the touchscreen.
[0005] Therefore, a thermostat for smart home use is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a thermostat for smart homes, which solves the problem that most existing smart home thermostats are fixedly installed on the wall, leaving the touch screen and housing exposed to the elements for extended periods. This makes them prone to accumulating dust, fingerprints, and stains, which not only affects the aesthetics and user experience but also makes cleaning and maintenance difficult due to the fixed structure. For example, repeatedly wiping with a cloth is not only ineffective in cleaning the corners and crevices but may also scratch the screen. While some existing technologies use an overall dust cover design, they suffer from inconvenience in operation and difficulty in observing real-time temperature control data. Although film-type solutions can protect the touch screen, they cannot solve the problem of dust accumulation on other parts of the housing, and most soft films are insufficient to provide effective impact protection for the touch screen.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a thermostat for smart homes, including a mounting socket, a thermostat body is provided on the front side of the mounting socket, a touch screen is embedded in the front side of the thermostat body, and a dustproof protection mechanism is provided on the outer side of the thermostat body. The dustproof protection mechanism includes a transparent touch-sensitive soft film covering the front of the touch screen, a dustproof cover wrapped around the outside of the thermostat body, an elastic wall-mounting cotton frame glued to the back of the outer side of the dustproof cover, a rectangular magnetic block glued to the front of the dustproof cover, and a protective structure provided on the front of the rectangular magnetic block. The protective structure is located on the front side of the transparent touch-sensitive soft film and the touch screen.
[0008] Preferably, the protective structure includes a protective outer shell disposed on the front side of the rectangular magnetic block, and the front side of the protective outer shell has a window.
[0009] Preferably, the protective shell has a slot on the rear side, and a tempered transparent protective film is engaged inside the slot. The inner side of the tempered transparent protective film is in contact with the front side of the transparent touch film.
[0010] Preferably, a rectangular magnet is adhered to the rear side of the protective shell, the front side of the rectangular magnet contacts the rear side of the tempered transparent protective film, and the rectangular magnet is magnetically connected to the rectangular magnetic block.
[0011] Preferably, the transparent touch film is made of PET or TPU material and has a thickness of 0.1-0.3mm.
[0012] Preferably, the thickness of the dust cover is 2-2.5mm, and the inner wall of the dust cover is coated with an antistatic coating.
[0013] Preferably, the tempered transparent protective film has a thickness of 0.3-0.5 mm and its surface is provided with an anti-fingerprint coating.
[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the dustproof cover is provided with a ventilation opening, and a dustproof net is provided inside the ventilation opening.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This application sets up a dustproof protection mechanism, using a transparent touch-sensitive soft film to cover the touch screen, and a dustproof cover wrapped around the outside of the thermostat body. This effectively blocks the adhesion of dust, fingerprints and stains, solving the problem of dust accumulation caused by long-term exposure of the equipment. At the same time, the elastic wall-mounting cotton frame on the back of the dustproof cover can fit tightly against the wall, reducing dust accumulation in gaps. It is also easy to disassemble, facilitating overall cleaning and maintenance, and avoiding the risk of scratching the touch screen with a rag. 2. This application features a protective structure that is linked with a rectangular magnetic block and installed in front of the touch screen. This structure allows for quick opening and closing via magnetic adsorption without affecting real-time temperature control data observation. It also provides physical protection against impacts to the touch screen, overcoming the shortcomings of traditional film-based protection. Furthermore, the protective structure, like the dust cover, can be independently disassembled, facilitating the cleaning of external dust and improving the durability and user experience of the device.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-4The present invention provides the following technical solution: A thermostat for smart home use includes a mounting socket 1, a thermostat body 2 on the front side of the mounting socket 1, a touch screen display 3 embedded in the front side of the thermostat body 2, and a dustproof protection mechanism 4 on the outside of the thermostat body 2. The dust protection mechanism 4 includes a transparent touch film 41 covering the front of the touch display screen 3, a dust cover 42 wrapped around the outside of the thermostat body 2, an elastic wall-mounting frame 43 glued to the rear side of the outer side of the dust cover 42, a rectangular magnetic block 44 glued to the front side of the dust cover 42, and a protective structure 45 provided on the front side of the rectangular magnetic block 44. The protective structure 45 is located on the front side of the transparent touch film 41 and the touch display screen 3.
[0020] In this embodiment: by setting up a mounting base 1, a thermostat body 2, a touch screen display 3, and a dustproof protection mechanism 4, the mounting base 1 is pre-fixed into the 86mm base shell reserved indoors. Then, the reserved cables, power lines, and network cables are connected to the mounting base 1. Subsequently, the thermostat body 2 is snapped onto the front side of the mounting base 1 to complete the electrical connection, realizing power access and signal transmission. In the dustproof protection mechanism 4, a transparent touch film 41 covers the touch screen display 3, and a dustproof sleeve 42 wraps around the outside of the thermostat body 2. The elastic wall-mounting frame 43 on the rear side fits tightly against the wall, reducing dust accumulation in the installation gaps and preventing dust. The rectangular magnetic block 44 on the front of the casing 42 is magnetically connected to the protective structure 45, allowing the protective structure 45 to open and close quickly. This not only blocks dust but also does not obstruct the view of the touch screen 3. When cleaning is required, the dust cover 42 and the protective structure 45 can be removed independently to avoid scratching the touch screen 3 by directly wiping it. At the same time, the wrapping design of the elastic wall-mounted cotton frame 43 and the dust cover 42 solves the problem of dust accumulation from the touch screen 3 to the outer shell of the thermostat body 2. The magnetic opening and closing and physical protection characteristics of the protective structure 45 take into account both ease of operation and anti-collision requirements, achieving efficient protection and convenient maintenance of the thermostat body 2.
[0021] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the protective structure 45 includes a protective shell 451 disposed on the front side of the rectangular magnetic block 44, and a window 452 is provided on the front side of the protective shell 451.
[0022] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a slot 453 is provided on the rear side of the protective shell 451. A tempered transparent protective film 454 is snapped into the inside of the slot 453. The inner side of the tempered transparent protective film 454 is in contact with the front side of the transparent touch film 41.
[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, a rectangular magnet 455 is attached to the rear side of the protective shell 451, the front side of the rectangular magnet 455 is in contact with the rear side of the tempered transparent protective film 454, and the rectangular magnet 455 is magnetically connected to the rectangular magnetic block 44.
[0024] In this embodiment: by setting a protective structure 45, a rectangular magnet 455 is magnetically connected to a rectangular magnetic block 44 on the front side of the dustproof shell 42, so that the protective shell 451 can be quickly disassembled and assembled. The tempered transparent protective film 454 is snapped into the slot 453 on the back side of the protective shell 451, and its inner side is attached to the transparent touch soft film 41. The tempered material provides impact protection for the touch screen 3 without affecting the touch operation of the touch screen 3. The opened window 452 does not obstruct the display of the touch screen 3. The magnetic connection design ensures that the protective structure 45 is easy to open and close, which is both dustproof and does not affect operation, solving the problems of insufficient anti-collision capability and inconvenient observation in traditional solutions.
[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the transparent touch film 41 is made of PET or TPU material and has a thickness of 0.1-0.3mm.
[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the thickness of the dust cover 42 is 2-2.5mm, and the inner wall of the dust cover 42 is coated with an antistatic coating.
[0027] In this embodiment: a transparent touch film 41 made of 0.1-0.3mm PET or TPU material is used to fit the touch display screen 3 in a thin and light way, ensuring touch sensitivity. The dustproof shell 42 is 2-2.5mm thick, and the anti-static coating on the inner wall can reduce dust adsorption. Its design of wrapping the thermostat body 2 provides all-round protection for the shell. After disassembly, it can be cleaned as a whole, avoiding damage to the equipment by wiping with a cloth. This solves the problems of difficult-to-clean dust accumulation and scratches on the touch display screen 3.
[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the tempered transparent protective film 454 has a thickness of 0.3-0.5mm and its surface is coated with an anti-fingerprint coating.
[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a vent 5 is provided at the bottom of the dust cover 42, and a dustproof net 6 is installed inside the vent 5.
[0030] In this embodiment: by using a tempered transparent protective film 454 with a thickness of 0.3-0.5mm and a fingerprint-resistant coating, the scratch resistance is enhanced and fingerprint residue is reduced. The dustproof mesh 6 inside the bottom ventilation port 5 of the dustproof cover 42 ensures heat dissipation at the heat dissipation port of the thermostat body 2 while blocking dust intrusion, preventing dust accumulation from entering the interior of the thermostat body 2 and affecting the operation of the components, thereby further improving the durability and reliability of the equipment.
[0031] Working Principle: In the use of the thermostat for smart homes, the mounting base 1 is first fixed inside the indoor 86 base shell, and the connection to the power supply line and network is completed through the cable. Then, the thermostat body 2 is snapped onto the front of the mounting base 1 to achieve electrical connection, thereby connecting the power supply and signal transmission. The transparent touch soft film 41 covers the touch display screen 3, ensuring touch sensitivity while providing initial protection. The dustproof sleeve 42 on the outside of the thermostat body 2 wraps around the thermostat body 2, and the elastic wall-mounting frame 43 on the back fits tightly to the wall to reduce dust accumulation in the installation gaps. The dustproof mesh 6 of the bottom ventilation vent 5 prevents dust from entering the interior while dissipating heat. The protective structure 45 is connected to the dustproof sleeve 4 by rectangular magnets 455. The rectangular magnetic block 44 on the front side is magnetically connected and can be opened and closed quickly. The tempered transparent protective film 454 is snapped into the slot 453 on the back of the protective shell 451. Its inner side is attached to the transparent touch soft film 41. It can resist impact by using the tempered material, and the screen display is not blocked by the front window 452. When cleaning is required, the dust cover 42 and the protective structure 45 can be removed independently to avoid scratching the touch screen 3 by wiping it directly. It can achieve all-round dust protection and convenient maintenance from the touch screen 3 to the shell of the thermostat body 2. At the same time, the magnetic connection design takes into account the convenience of operation and the need for anti-collision, and improves the durability of the equipment. It should be noted that the elastic wall cotton frame 43 is made of sponge or EVA material and has elastic deformation capability.
[0032] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
