Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] As a core component for temperature control, thermostats are widely used in various scenarios such as home heating, central air conditioning, and industrial equipment. Their installation stability and usage safety directly affect the operating efficiency and service life of the temperature control system. However, the control panel of the thermostat is usually directly exposed. In public places with frequent personnel flow (such as office buildings and shopping malls) or in homes with children, accidental operation is very likely to occur. If the control panel is accidentally touched, the set temperature may deviate, resulting in energy waste or a decrease in indoor environmental comfort. Some thermostats with basic protection functions often have a simple flip-top design without a locking function, which still cannot fundamentally prevent unnecessary accidental operation. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model relates to an installation structure for a thermostat, which solves the problem that the thermostat control panel is easily accidentally touched in public places with frequent personnel flow or in families with children, resulting in deviation of the set temperature, energy waste or reduced comfort, because the thermostat control panel is directly exposed to the outside.

[0004] This utility model provides a thermostat mounting structure, specifically including: a thermostat, a rear mounting plate fitted to the rear end face of the thermostat, the outer contour dimensions of the rear mounting plate being consistent with the outer contour dimensions of the thermostat panel, a common socket opening between the front and rear faces of the rear mounting plate, and the wiring terminals of the thermostat being inserted into the socket opening; a receiving groove is provided on both the top and bottom faces of the rear mounting plate, and a threaded through hole communicating with the socket opening is provided at the axial center of each of the two receiving grooves; a locking bolt is inserted into each of the two receiving grooves, and the stud end of the locking bolt is threadedly connected to the threaded through hole; when the locking bolt is locked along the threaded through hole, the stud end of the locking bolt is tightly attached to the wiring terminals of the thermostat inserted into the socket opening; a countersunk through hole penetrating the rear face is provided on the front face of the rear mounting plate at four adjacent edge corners.

[0005] Furthermore, a front baffle is provided on the front side of the thermostat, and the outer contour structure dimensions of the front baffle are consistent with the outer contour structure dimensions of the thermostat panel; the left end face of the front baffle is rotatably connected to the left end face of the rear mounting plate by a left connecting plate; a right locking plate is rotatably installed on the right end face of the front baffle.

[0006] Furthermore, when the rear end face of the right locking plate is in contact with the right end face of the thermostat, the rear end face of the front baffle is in contact with the front end face of the thermostat, and at this time the front baffle completely covers the control panel area of ​​the thermostat; a transparent observation window is installed between the front end face and the rear end face of the front baffle.

[0007] Furthermore, a threaded locking blind hole is provided on the right end face of the rear mounting plate; a plug groove is provided on the right side of the front end face of the right locking plate, and a plug hole is provided at the center of the plug groove, penetrating the rear end face of the right locking plate; when the rear end face of the right locking plate is in contact with the right end face of the thermostat, the plug hole and the threaded locking blind hole are coaxial.

[0008] Furthermore, a plug-in post is inserted into the plug-in slot, and a locking stud is fixedly installed at the axial part of the rear end face of the plug-in post. The locking stud is inserted and engaged with the plug-in hole. When the rear end face of the right locking plate is in contact with the right end face of the thermostat, the locking stud passes through the plug-in hole and is connected to the threaded locking blind hole. A torsion groove with an elliptical groove structure is opened at the axial part of the front end face of the plug-in post. A torsion block matching its structural dimensions is inserted into the torsion groove. A hexagonal insertion opening is opened at the axial part of the torsion block.

[0009] This utility model provides a mounting structure for a thermostat, which has the following advantages: The wiring terminals of this thermostat can be aligned and inserted into the socket opening of the rear mounting plate. The contour limiting effect of the socket opening allows the thermostat and the rear mounting plate to be initially positioned. Since the outer contour dimensions of the two panels are consistent, the flatness of the overall structure after assembly is effectively guaranteed. Then, with the help of the locking bolt in the storage groove of the rear mounting plate, the thermostat is tightly fitted with the wiring terminals by rotation and pushing. The friction force is used to limit the installation of the two, eliminating the need for complex connecting parts and making the operation simple and convenient. At the same time, the squeezing effect of the locking bolt ensures the stability of the connection and prevents loosening after assembly. The countersunk through holes at the four corners of the rear mounting plate can be used with common fasteners such as screws, making it easy to fix the thermostat and mounting plate as a whole to various mounting bases such as walls.

[0010] In normal operation, the front shield completely covers the thermostat control panel area. Combined with the locking structure of the right-side locking plate, it effectively prevents damage to the thermostat from accidental contact or impact. The locking structure requires a matching twisting block and a hex wrench to unlock, and the protective lock cannot be released without special tools. This structural design eliminates unnecessary accidental touches, prevents the temperature from deviating from the set value, and ensures the stable operation of the temperature control system. The transparent observation window on the front shield allows users to directly observe the temperature value, operating status, and other key data of the thermostat panel without releasing the protective lock, eliminating the need to frequently unlock the protective structure. This maintains reliable protection while simplifying the daily data viewing process, achieving a balance between protection and convenience. Attached Figure Description

The terminals of the thermostat 1 are tightly attached; a countersunk through hole 206 is provided at the four corners of the front end of the rear mounting plate 2, penetrating its rear end; a front cover plate 201 is provided on the front side of the thermostat 1, and the outer contour structure of the front cover plate 201 is consistent with the outer contour structure of the panel of the thermostat 1; the left end face of the front cover plate 201 is rotatably connected to the left end face of the rear mounting plate 2 by a left connecting plate 205; a right locking plate 203 is rotatably installed on the right end face of the front cover plate 201; when the rear end face of the right locking plate 203 is in contact with the right end face of the thermostat 1, the rear end face of the front cover plate 201 is in contact with the front end face of the thermostat 1, and at this time the front cover plate 201 completely covers the control panel area of ​​the thermostat 1; a transparent observation window 202 is installed between the front end face and the rear end face of the front cover plate 201.

[0016] The rear mounting plate 2 has a threaded locking blind hole 207 on its right end face; the right locking plate 203 has a insertion groove 2012 on its right side front end face, and an insertion hole 2011 penetrating the rear end face of the right locking plate 203 is provided at the axial center of the insertion groove 2012; when the rear end face of the right locking plate 203 is in contact with the right end face of the thermostat 1, the insertion hole 2011 and the threaded locking blind hole 207 are coaxial; an insertion post 2013 is inserted into the insertion groove 2012, and a locking stud 2 is fixedly installed at the axial center of the rear end face of the insertion post 2013. 014, the locking stud 2014 is inserted into the insertion hole 2011; when the rear end face of the right locking plate 203 is in contact with the right end face of the thermostat 1, the locking stud 2014 passes through the insertion hole 2011 and is threadedly connected to the threaded locking blind hole 207; the front end face of the insertion post 2013 has a torsion groove 2015 with an elliptical groove structure at the axial part, and a torsion insert 2016 with matching structural dimensions is inserted into the torsion groove 2015. The axial part of the torsion insert 2016 has a hexagonal insertion opening 2017.

[0017] The working principle of this embodiment: Align the wiring terminals of the thermostat 1 with the socket opening 208 of the rear mounting plate 2 and insert them. Use the contour limiting effect of the socket opening 208 to initially position the thermostat 1 and the rear mounting plate 2. The outer contour dimensions of the two panels are consistent to ensure the overall flatness after assembly. Insert locking bolts 204 into the storage grooves 209 at the top and bottom of the rear mounting plate 2, rotate the locking bolts 204 to push them inward along the threaded through hole 2010 until the stud end of the locking bolts 204 is tightly fitted with the terminal of the thermostat 1 in the sleeve opening 208, thereby achieving the limited installation of the rear mounting plate 2 and the thermostat 1 through friction. Using the countersunk through holes 206 at the four corners of the rear mounting plate 2, screws and other fasteners are used to fix the thermostat 1 and the rear mounting plate 2 to the wall or other mounting base. In normal operation, the front cover plate 201 is flipped back to fit against the front end of the thermostat 1. At this time, the front cover plate 201 completely covers the control panel area of ​​the thermostat 1, which serves to prevent accidental contact and external impact. Then, the right locking plate 203 is rotated so that its rear end fits against the right end of the thermostat 1. At this time, the insertion hole 2011 on the right locking plate 203 is coaxially aligned with the threaded locking blind hole 207 on the rear mounting plate 2. The insertion post 2013 is inserted into the insertion slot 2012, and its rear locking stud 2014 passes through the insertion hole 2011 and is threadedly connected to the threaded locking blind hole 207 to lock and fix the front cover plate 201. The transparent observation window 202 installed on the front baffle 201 allows direct observation of the display data (such as temperature value, operating status, etc.) on the thermostat 1 panel without unlocking the protective lock, thus balancing protection and convenience. When it is necessary to unlock the protective lock, because the twisting groove 2015 at the front end of the plug 2013 has an elliptical structure, a matching twisting block 2016 must be inserted into the groove to drive the plug 2013 to rotate. Under normal conditions, the twisting block 2016 can be stored separately. When the user needs to operate the thermostat 1, the separately stored twisting block 2016 can be inserted into the twisting groove 2015. Because the insertion opening 2017 on the axis of the twisting block 2016 has a hexagonal structure, it is compatible with a standard hex wrench, so the twisting block can be rotated using a hex wrench. The movable plug 2016 drives the plug post 2013 and locking stud 2014 to rotate, thereby unlocking the device. The user can then rotate and unfold the right locking plate 203, the front cover plate 201 and the left connecting plate 205 to reveal the operation panel of the thermostat 1, allowing the user to set the temperature. Furthermore, the matching arrangement of the twist plug 2016 and the twist groove 2015 ensures that the protective lock cannot be released without the cooperation of the twist plug 2016, thus preventing the thermostat 1 from being accidentally activated and preventing the temperature from deviating from the set value.
