[0029] The following embodiments illustrate the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Modifications to the specific implementation of the present invention or equivalent substitutions for some technical features, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, should all be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, this embodiment provides an energy regulator, including a housing assembly 1, an adjustable temperature assembly 2, a rotating shaft 3, a rotating assembly 4, and a switching assembly 5. The housing assembly 1 consists of a middle cover 11 and an outer shell 12. A cavity 13 is provided inside the outer shell 12, and an outer shell base 121 is provided on the outer shell 12. The rotating assembly 4 and the adjustable temperature assembly 2 are located within the cavity 13. The rotating shaft 3 passes through the middle cover 11 and is connected to the outer shell base 121. The rotating assembly 4 is located on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 3 and connected to it. The switching assembly 5 and the adjustable temperature assembly 2 are respectively connected to the outside of the rotating assembly 4.

[0031] The energy regulator proposed in this utility model not only achieves the simultaneous use of two sets of independent temperature control structures, but also makes the circuit on / off time ratio more accurate, and greatly saves costs.

[0032] Specifically, the rotating assembly 4 includes a connecting post 41, a rotating baffle 42, a first rotating component 43, a temperature regulating wheel 44, and a second rotating component 45. The connecting post 41 passes through the rotating baffle 42, the first rotating component 43, the temperature regulating wheel 44, and the second rotating component 45 sequentially from top to bottom. The rotating baffle 42 has a baffle connecting hole 421 in the middle, and the connecting post 41 has a connecting post connecting hole 411 that matches the baffle connecting hole 421. A compression spring 46 is placed inside the connecting post connecting hole 411, and the upper side of the compression spring 46 is connected to the rotating shaft 3. This arrangement allows the connecting post 41 to connect the rotating baffle 42, the first rotating component 43, the temperature regulating wheel 44, and the second rotating component 45 together.

[0033] Furthermore, a heating element assembly 21 is provided on the side of the adjustable temperature component 2 away from the rotating component 4. An adjusting screw 7 is provided between the heating element assembly 21 and the side wall of the outer casing 12. An insulating push rod 71 is provided on the adjusting screw 7, and the insulating push rod 71 can make contact with the heating element assembly 21. When the insulating push rod 71 makes contact with the heating element assembly 21, the heating element assembly 21 cannot achieve heat transfer.

[0034] Furthermore, the upper end of the switch assembly 5 is located within the cavity 13, and the lower end passes through the bottom of the outer casing 12 to connect to external wiring. The switch assembly 5 includes a first connecting piece 51, a second connecting piece 52, a third connecting piece 53, and a fourth connecting piece 54. A spring 55 is provided between the second connecting piece 52 and the fourth connecting piece 54, and they are connected together through the spring 55. A connecting torsion spring 56 is provided on the same side of the first connecting piece 51 and the third connecting piece 53, and they are connected together through the connecting torsion spring 56. The arrangement of the spring 55 and the connecting torsion spring 56 controls the connection of the first connecting piece 51, the second connecting piece 52, the third connecting piece 53, and the fourth connecting piece 54, respectively, achieving a dual-circuit independent configuration.

[0035] Specifically, silver contacts 57 are provided on both sides of the fourth terminal block 54, one of which is fixed to the end of the spring 55 near the fourth terminal block 54. This contact 57 makes contact with or separates from the fourth terminal block 54 under the control of the spring 55.

[0036] Preferably, the temperature regulating wheel 44 is rotatably connected to the heating element assembly 21. The spring piece 55 has a protrusion 551 recessed in the direction of connection to the second rotating member 45 at its center. The second rotating member 45 has a recessed portion 451 adapted to the protrusion 551, and the second rotating member 45 is rotatably connected to the spring piece 55. By utilizing the protrusion 551 and the recessed portion 451, one circuit is controlled. When the user selects the low setting (OFF position), the contacts are completely disconnected, making the appliance safer to use. The other circuit is temperature-controlled. This makes the on / off time ratio of the circuit more accurate. This multi-row circuit design is suitable for use with parallel wiring for multiple temperature control knobs or switches in one appliance.

[0037] Furthermore, the housing assembly 1 also includes a mounting bracket 14, through which the rotating shaft 3 passes. The mounting bracket 14 is mounted on the middle cover 11 and connects the middle cover 11 and the outer shell 12 together via a snap-fit ​​structure 6. The housing assembly 1 provides a closed-off appearance for the thermostat, which is more conducive to express delivery and installation.

[0038] Furthermore, the heating element assembly 21 is made of PCT material. PCT material is resistant to high temperatures and chemical corrosion, and is easy to injection mold. The use of PCT material in the heating element assembly 21 makes the heating more stable and suitable for simultaneous use with different voltages.

[0039] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​structure 6 includes a snap-fit ​​portion 123 and a fastening portion 141. Guide grooves 122 are provided on both sides of the outer shell 12, and the snap-fit ​​portion 123 is located on the upper side of the guide grooves 122. The fastening portions 141 are bent downwards on both sides of the mounting bracket 14, and the snap-fit ​​portion 123 fastens into the fastening portion 141. The snap-fit ​​structure 6 ensures a stable connection between the outer shell 12, the mounting bracket 14, and the middle cover 11, thus facilitating express delivery and installation.

[0040] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
