It is to be understood that the directional terms "inwardly" and "outwardly" as used herein are relative to the center of the temperature limiter 130, and "inwardly" may be understood as toward the center of the temperature limiter 130 and "outwardly" may be understood as away from the center of the temperature limiter 130.

The following describes a connection structure between the housing 131 of the temperature limiter 130 and the outer pot 110, taking the illustrated embodiment as an example.

As shown in fig. 2, the bottom wall 111 of the outer pot 110 may be provided with a lower mounting hole 112. The lower mounting hole 112 may be located at a middle portion of the outer pot bottom wall 111. The housing 131 of the temperature limiter 130 can be located within the lower mounting hole. The housing 131 of the temperature limiter 130 may protrude from the lower side of the outer pot 110. The height dimension of the housing 131 and the position of the lower mounting portion may be set as desired, without limitation.

The bottom wall 111 of the outer pot 110 may be provided with a catching groove 113. The catching groove 113 is provided at an edge of the lower mounting hole 112 and can communicate with the lower mounting hole 112.

The notch 114 of the card slot 113 faces the lower mounting hole 112, and the card slot 113 communicates with the lower mounting hole 112 via the notch 114. Specifically, the notch 114 of the card slot 113 can face downward toward the lower mounting hole 112 (fig. 2) and downward (fig. 4), and the card slot 113 can communicate with the lower mounting hole 112 via the slave notch 114. Further, the card slot 113 includes a side slot opening and a lower slot opening communicating with the side slot opening. The side notches face the lower mounting hole 112 and the lower notches face downward.

As shown in fig. 3, the housing 131 may be provided with elastic catches 132. The elastic catch 132 extends vertically and is disposed obliquely. Here, it should be noted that "inclined outward" means inclined in a direction away from the center of the temperature limiter 130.

In this embodiment, the housing 131 can be deformed by being pressed when being inserted into the upper mounting hole 121 from above the heat generating plate 120 and can be clamped into the clamping groove 113 under the action of elastic force. Specifically, when the housing 131 is inserted into the lower mounting hole 112 from above the outer pot 110, the elastic clamping leg 132 is deformed by being pressed by the hole wall of the lower mounting hole 112, and is clamped into the clamping groove 113 under the action of elastic force, so that the housing 131 of the temperature limiter 130 is clamped.

In this embodiment, the housing 131 of the temperature limiter 130 may be snapped into the outer pot 110 by means of the resilient force of the elastic snapping legs 132, so that the mounting of the housing 131 of the temperature limiter 130 may be achieved only by an operation of inserting the housing 131 of the temperature limiter 130 downward without using other auxiliary tools or auxiliary operations.

The card slots 113 may be spaced about the lower mounting aperture 112, for example, in an annular array. The elastic catches 132 may be arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the housing 131. Resilient catches 132 are provided at various locations on the housing 131. The elastic clamping legs 132 can correspond to the positions of the clamping grooves 113. Therefore, different positions of the shell 131 can be connected with the outer pot 110, so that the shell 131 is stably kept in the lower mounting hole 112 and is not easy to be separated from the outer pot 110 or shake relative to the outer pot 110.

The elastic clamping legs 132 may be spaced at least two. For example, the elastic catch 132 may be provided with at least one pair. The pairs of resilient catches 132 may be oppositely disposed and each inclined outwardly. For example, the pairs of resilient catches 132 may be symmetrically arranged. In the illustrated embodiment, a pair of resilient catches 132 are shown symmetrically arranged. The external card slots 113 may be provided at intervals of at least two. For example, the card slot 113 may be provided with at least one pair. The pairs of card slots 113 may be oppositely disposed such that their slots 114 are opposed. In this embodiment, the card slots 113 may correspond to the elastic card pins 132 one to one.

By means of the pair of elastic clamping legs 132, the housing 131 of the temperature limiter 130 can be kept stable and not askew during the assembly process, and after the assembly process, the housing 131 of the temperature limiter 130 can be stably fixed on the outer pot 110. Of course, the number of the elastic clamping legs 132 is not limited, and may be a pair of even numbers or an odd number.

The housing 131 includes a housing bottom wall 133 and a housing side wall 134. The housing side wall 134 extends upward from the outer periphery of the housing bottom wall 133. The resilient catch 132 is disposed on the housing side wall 134 and extends obliquely upward from the housing side wall 134. The lower end of the elastic clamping pin 132 is connected with the side wall 134 of the shell, and the upper end of the elastic clamping pin 132 is a free end and can be clamped in the clamping groove 113. In the illustrated embodiment, the housing sidewall 134 may define an opening 135. The elastic latch 132 is located at the opening 135, and the elastic latch 132 is connected to and extends obliquely upward from a lower mouth wall of the opening 135. In this embodiment, the elastic latch 132 may be formed by outwardly inclining a portion of the housing sidewall 134, and further, the inclined elastic latch 132 may be formed by outwardly stamping the housing sidewall 134, so that the mounting structure of the housing 131 of the temperature limiter 130 is simple, and the manufacturing of the temperature limiter 130 is facilitated.

As shown in fig. 4, the bottom wall 111 of the outer pot 110 may be provided with a protrusion 117 protruding upward. The protrusion 117 can be recessed upward from the lower surface of the bottom wall 111 to form the card slot 113. The bottom wall 111 of the outer pot 110 is generally thin, and the convex part 117 is arranged, so that the clamping groove 113 can be conveniently formed in the outer pot 110, the structure of the outer pot 110 is simple, the production and the manufacture are convenient, and the structural strength of the bottom wall 111 of the outer pot at the clamping groove 113 can be improved. The bosses 117 can be spaced around the lower mounting aperture 112. Thus, each protrusion 117 may form one card slot 113, and the structural strength can be improved at a position of the outer pot 110 corresponding to each card slot 113.

The card slot 113 may include two card slot sidewalls 115 extending in a vertical direction. Two card slot side walls 115 are circumferentially spaced apart. The resilient clip 132 can be captured between the two card slot side walls 115. Thereby, it is possible to restrict circumferential movement of the housing 131 of the temperature limiter 130 with respect to the outer pot 110 in the circumferential direction, thereby stably mounting the housing 131 of the temperature limiter 130 to the outer pot 110.

Further, the card slot 113 may also include a horizontally extending card slot top wall 116. The pocket side walls 115 can extend downwardly from the pocket top wall 116 and connect with the outer pot bottom wall 111. The resilient latch 132 is capable of abutting against a surface of the latch top wall 116.

The upper mounting portion is configured as a flange 136 that extends outwardly from the top of the housing 131. For example a ring of annular flanges 136. The flange 136 can be overlapped to the upper surface of the heat generating plate 120.
