Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermostat technology, and in particular to an improved thermostat housing that combines heat dissipation and protection functions. Background Technology

[0002] As a core device for temperature monitoring and control, the stability of the internal electronic components of a thermostat directly determines its temperature control accuracy and lifespan. Existing thermostat housings often only provide basic containment and protection, exhibiting several shortcomings in practical use: First, the housing and cover are often connected using traditional methods such as bolts, making installation and disassembly cumbersome and hindering later inspection and maintenance of internal components. Second, the heat dissipation structure is often simplistic, making it difficult to quickly dissipate the heat generated during operation; prolonged exposure to high temperatures can lead to performance degradation or even malfunction of electronic components. Third, dust protection is inadequate; external dust can easily enter the housing through the ventilation structure, adhering to the surface of electronic components and affecting heat dissipation and conductivity. Fourth, in environments with large temperature differences, condensation easily forms inside the housing; accumulated condensate can cause short circuits and damage to electronic components, severely impacting the thermostat's operational reliability. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address some of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an improved thermostat housing that combines heat dissipation and protection functions. This housing achieves multiple protection functions such as heat dissipation, dust prevention, and condensation prevention, while also having the advantage of easy disassembly and assembly, effectively improving the operational stability and maintenance convenience of the thermostat.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an improved thermostat housing that combines heat dissipation and protection functions. The housing includes a main body, which is a hollow cavity structure with one open end, forming an internal mounting cavity for accommodating the thermostat's electronic components. A detachable cover panel is provided at one open end of the main body, and a quick-release mounting structure is provided between the detachable cover panel and the main body. The quick-release mounting structure includes a protruding buckle, a slot, and a positioning guide block at the open end of the main body. The detachable cover panel is detachably connected to the main body through the cooperation of the protruding buckle, slot, and positioning guide block. A connection contact end for connecting to internal components of the thermostat is integrally formed at the other end of the main body. Several connection contact points are provided, each with a corresponding numerical label on its outer side. A heat dissipation and dustproof structure is embedded on the outer wall of the main body, and an anti-condensation structure is also provided inside the main body, achieving multiple protective functions of heat dissipation, dustproofing, and anti-condensation.

[0005] In operation, the electronic components of the thermostat are first installed into the mounting cavity inside the main body of the housing. Precise alignment between the connecting contact point and the internal components of the thermostat is achieved based on the numerical markings on the outer side of the connecting contact point. Then, the disassembly cover panel is closed towards the opening of the main body, allowing the hooks on the connecting blocks at the edge of the disassembly cover panel to engage with the slots in the main body. Simultaneously, the grooves on the disassembly cover panel align with the protruding buckles on the main body, and the guide grooves on the disassembly cover panel align with the positioning guide blocks on the main body, completing quick-release installation. During use, the mounting plate of the heat dissipation and dustproof structure is assembled to the outer wall of the main body via elastic buckles on its side. The micro-fan assembly inside generates airflow, which flows through the grid-like guide channels formed by the intersecting horizontal and vertical partitions inside the mounting plate. The convex arc-shaped dustproof net in the annular groove on the inner side of the mounting plate facing the ventilation louvers blocks external dust from entering. Simultaneously, the movable hinges on the ventilation louvers can be adjusted... The ventilation louvers control the airflow through connecting blades. They are detachably assembled via a positioning mounting block 38 on the bottom edge and a positioning mounting groove on the bottom edge of the mounting plate. When condensation occurs inside the main body, a U-shaped, inclined guide channel symmetrically positioned on the bottom edge of the inner side of the main body guides the condensate to a funnel-shaped collection tank connected to its end. The collection tank collects the condensate, and the condensate is periodically cleaned by unscrewing the drain plug connected to the threaded drain hole at the bottom of the collection tank. The waterproof layer coated on the inner sides of the guide channel and collection tank effectively prevents condensate penetration. For subsequent cleaning of the dust filter or maintenance of internal components, the ventilation louvers can be removed by separating the positioning mounting block from the mounting plate and removing the louvers; or the cover panel can be removed by separating the hook from the slot in the main body, the recess from the main body, and the guide groove from the main body, and removing the guide block from the main body, thus completing the maintenance operation.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The quick-release installation structure, through the cooperation of protruding buckles, slots, positioning guide blocks, connecting blocks, and hooks, allows for the disassembly and assembly of the cover panel and the main body of the outer shell without additional tools, simplifying operation and significantly improving maintenance efficiency; In the heat dissipation and dustproof structure, the micro fan assembly provides active heat dissipation power, the grid-like airflow channel formed by the horizontal and vertical partitions optimizes the airflow path and improves heat dissipation uniformity, the convex arc-shaped dustproof net effectively blocks dust from entering and adapts to the airflow channel to ensure ventilation effect, the connecting blades of the ventilation louvers can be rotated to adjust the opening angle, and the ventilation volume can be flexibly controlled according to the usage environment, and this is achieved through the cooperation of the positioning installation block and the positioning installation slot. The removable installation facilitates the cleaning and replacement of the dust filter. In the anti-condensation structure, the inclined U-shaped guide channel quickly directs condensate to the collection tank, while the funnel-shaped collection tank ensures concentrated condensate accumulation. The threaded drain plug allows for regular cleaning and drainage of condensate, preventing it from corroding internal electronic components. Furthermore, the waterproof layer on the inner side of the guide channel and collection tank further enhances the anti-condensation effect. Additionally, the digital markings on the outer side of the contact point facilitate precise alignment with the internal components of the thermostat. The integrated molding and rational assembly design of the main body and various structures ensure the structural strength and sealing performance of the casing. These multiple functions work together to significantly extend the thermostat's lifespan and reduce usage and maintenance costs.
