Specifically, the electrical device may be a water heater, a dishwasher, a water dispenser, an electric oven, an ice chest, a steam mop, or other electrical devices having a heating assembly 20 and a temperature controller 122, wherein the water heater includes an electric water heater, a gas water heater, and an air energy water heater.

Thermostat 122 may be a snap-action thermostat.

The fixing member 11 is a component fixed on the heating element 20, and the fixing member 11 may be welded on the heating element 20, detachably fastened on the heating element 20 by a fastener, such as a screw, a pin, or the like, and may be integrally formed with the heating element 20, that is, the fixing member 11 may be non-detachably connected or detachably connected with the heating element 20.

The pre-assembly member 12 may be pre-assembled as a single unit, that is, before the thermostat 122 is assembled to the heating module 20, all the components of the pre-assembly member 12, including the mounting member 121 and the thermostat 122, may be pre-assembled as a single unit, and then the pre-assembly member 12 is directly mounted to the fixing member 11 fixed to the heating module 20.

It should be noted that, for the electrical equipment in which the fixing member 11 and the heating element 20 are welded or detachably connected by a fastening member, the process of fixing the fixing member 11 to the heating element 20 and the process of integrally assembling the components in the pre-assembly member 12 are not sequential, and in order to improve the production efficiency, the two processes may be performed simultaneously, alternatively, the supplier of the thermostat mounting assembly 10 may pre-assemble the components of the pre-assembly 12 into a single unit prior to shipment, and in any case, before the assembly process of installing the thermostat 122 is started, the fixing member 11 and the heating element 20 may be fixedly connected, and the components of the pre-assembly member 12 may be pre-assembled into a whole, so that, after entering the assembling process, the operator only needs to attach the pre-assembly member 12 to the fixing member 11 fixed to the heat generating module 20.

In the related art, there is a temperature controller of an air energy water heater, which is supported by a liner of the air energy water heater, and when the temperature controller is installed, the temperature controller needs to be installed on the liner first, and then the temperature controller is clamped by other fixing components. Because the installation of temperature controller relies on the inner bag, so, this kind of mounting means can't be preassembled temperature controller and fixed subassembly in advance and become a whole, leads to the assembly process of temperature controller comparatively complicated from this, and assembly efficiency is lower relatively.

By adopting the temperature controller mounting assembly 10 of the embodiment of the present application, all the components including the mounting member 121 and the temperature controller 122 in the pre-installed component 12 can be pre-assembled into a whole, and then the pre-installed component 12 is mounted on the fixing member 11 fixed on the liner, so that the temperature controller 122 is simple and convenient in assembly mode, and relatively high in assembly efficiency.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 3, the temperature controllers 122 and the positioning holes 121a are all provided in a plurality, and the main body 1221 of each temperature controller 122 is respectively inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 121a, that is, a plurality of temperature controllers 122 may be adopted to monitor the heating element 20.

Specifically, the number of the positioning holes 121a may be equal to or greater than the number of the thermostats 122, for example, referring to fig. 4 and 5, two thermostats 122 are disposed in the pre-assembly member 12, correspondingly, two positioning holes 121a are disposed on the mounting member 121, and each positioning hole 121a is disposed with one thermostat 122, which is equivalent to the number of the positioning holes 121a may be equal to the number of the thermostats 122. In some embodiments, when only two temperature controllers 122 are disposed in the pre-assembly member 12, three or more positioning holes 121a may be disposed on the mounting member 121, the main bodies 1221 of two temperature controllers 122 may be respectively inserted into two of the positioning holes 121a, and the other positioning holes 121a are idle, which is equivalent to that the number of the positioning holes 121a may be greater than the number of the temperature controllers 122.

In some embodiments, when there is only one thermostat 122 in the pre-assembly member 12, the thermostat 122 can also be used with the mounting member 121 having two positioning holes 121a, i.e. the thermostat 122 can be inserted into one of the positioning holes 121a, and the other positioning hole 121a is idle, which means that the number of the positioning holes 121a can be greater than the number of the thermostats 122.

On the other hand, when the pre-assembly members 12 having different numbers of thermostats 122 are all the same type of mounting member 121 having a plurality of positioning holes 121a, the versatility of the mounting member 121 is improved.

Taking the thermostat 122 as a snap-action thermostat as an example, the temperature sensing end of the main body 1221 of the snap-action thermostat is generally provided with a bimetal temperature sensing piece, and when the temperature of the working environment of the snap-action thermostat rises to the operating temperature, the bimetal temperature sensing piece achieves the purpose of breaking the circuit by reverse snap-action. In the actual production process, according to the requirement, the snap-action thermostat with a relatively thin bimetal temperature sensing piece, a relatively thin connecting terminal 1222 and/or a relatively small overall volume of the main body 1221 can be selected, so as to reduce the installation space occupied by the snap-action thermostat on the heating element 20.

The thermostat 122' is a thermostat that is automatically turned off when the temperature of the operating environment rises to an operating temperature and is automatically reset when the temperature of the operating environment drops to a reset temperature after being turned off.

The manual thermostat 122 "is a thermostat that can be automatically turned off when the temperature of the operating environment rises to an operating temperature, and cannot be automatically reset after being turned off, but needs to be manually reset.

The plurality of thermostats 122 in the form of the combination of the thermostat 122 'and the manual thermostat 122 ″ can reduce the production cost of the electric appliance, compared to the electric appliance in which the thermostat 122' is entirely used.
