[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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 This application will be described in further detail.
[0020] A dual-purpose thermostat includes a housing, a control board 13, and a touch screen 3. The control board 13 is disposed within the housing, which includes an upper shell 2 and a lower shell 1, with the upper shell 2 mounted on the lower shell 1. The touch screen 3 is mounted on the upper shell 2 and is connected to the control board 13.
[0021] A battery box 6 is fixedly installed in the lower shell 1. The battery box 6 is connected to the control board 13, and a battery body 5 is connected to the battery box 6. Through the battery body 5 and the battery box 6, power can be supplied to the control board 13, enabling the touch screen 3 to function normally. A terminal block 7 is detachably installed in the lower shell 1, located between the lower shell 1 and the control board 13, and connected to the control board 13. A wiring hole 8 is provided on the lower shell 1, located between the terminal block 7 and the battery box 6. The terminal block 7 can be used to connect the neutral wire and the live wire. An external power cord can enter the shell through the wiring hole 8 and connect to the terminal block 7, enabling the external power cord to supply power to the control board 13.
[0022] Therefore, the thermostat can be powered on the control board 13 through the battery box 6 and the battery, or it can be powered on the control board 13 by connecting the neutral wire and the live wire through the terminal 7. This allows the thermostat to select the appropriate power supply method according to the usage environment, making the thermostat more convenient to use.
[0023] A snap-fit rod 14 is fixedly connected to the side of the terminal 7 near the lower housing 1. The lower housing 1 has a mounting hole 11, to which a wedge block 10 is fixedly connected. The snap-fit rod 14 engages with the wedge block 10. The wedge-shaped surface of the snap-fit rod 14 allows it to easily engage with the wedge block 10. Through the snap-fit rod 14, wedge block 10, and mounting hole 11, the terminal 7 is detachably mounted on the lower housing 1, facilitating replacement when the terminal 7 is damaged.
[0024] A limiting rod 9, which is L-shaped, is fixedly connected to the terminal 7. A limiting hole 12 is provided on the lower shell 1, which is parallel to the mounting hole 11. A limiting plate is fixedly installed on the side of the limiting hole 12 away from the mounting hole 11. The limiting rod 9 is engaged with the limiting plate. The limiting rod 9 and the limiting plate further increase the connection stability between the terminal 7 and the lower shell 1. When installing the terminal 7, the limiting rod 9 is first inserted into the limiting hole 12, and the limiting rod 9 is engaged with the limiting plate. The engaging rod 14 is also engaged with the wedge block 10 under the action of the wedge surface and the wedge block 10. The terminal 7 is stably installed on the lower shell 1.
[0025] The upper shell 2 is fixedly provided with multiple positioning plates 16, and the control plate 13 is located between the multiple positioning plates 16. Each positioning plate 16 has an L-shaped groove 17, and the control plate 13 abuts against the L-shaped groove 17. The positioning plates 16 and the L-shaped groove 17 serve to limit the position of the control plate 13 installed in the upper shell 2. The upper shell 2 is also fixedly provided with multiple positioning blocks 15, which abut against the control plate 13. The control plate 13 is located between the positioning blocks 15 and the L-shaped groove 17. The positioning blocks 15 and the L-shaped groove 17 work together to stably install the control plate 13 in the upper shell 2.
[0026] The control board 13 has a limiting groove 18, which is fitted onto the positioning plate 16. The limiting groove 18 serves to limit the movement between the control board 13 and the upper shell 2. The lower shell 1 has two fixing holes 4. Through the fixing holes 4, the lower shell 1 can be mounted on the wall with screws, thus allowing the entire thermostat to be mounted on the wall.
[0027] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: During installation, the touch screen 3, control board 13, upper shell 2, terminal block 7, battery box 6, battery body 5, and lower shell 1 are installed sequentially. The battery body 5 is connected to the battery box 6, and the battery box 6 is connected to the control board 13. The battery body 5 can act as a power source to supply power to the control board 13, enabling the touch screen 3 to function normally. Since the lower shell 1 contains the terminal block 7, which is connected to the control board 13, the neutral and live wires of the external power supply can extend into the lower shell 1 through the wiring hole 8 and connect to the terminal block 7, thus enabling the external power supply to the control board 13. Therefore, the thermostat can power the control board 13 through the battery box 6 and battery body 5, or it can power the control board 13 by connecting the neutral and live wires through the terminal block 7. This allows the thermostat to select the appropriate power supply method according to the usage environment, making the thermostat more convenient to use.
