Abstract

A thermostat module, applied in an airflow device, includes a main body and at least one energy storage component, and the main body has a containing space and a first air vent and a second air vent communicated with the containing space, and the airflow device is configured corresponding to the first air vent. The energy storage component includes a fixing element and at least one energy storage element, and the fixing element is detachably coupled to a frame, so that the energy storage component is accommodated in the containing space. The quantity of energy storage components can be increased or decreased by assembling, so that the thermostat module has the effect of adjusting the quantity of energy storage elements conveniently.

Claims

1. A thermostat module, applied in an airflow device, comprising:

a main body, having a containing space, a first air vent and a second air vent, both of the first air vent and the second air vent being communicated with the containing space, and the airflow device being configured corresponding to the first air vent; and

at least one energy storage component, accommodated in the containing space, and the energy storage component comprising;

a fixing element; and

at least one energy storage element, detachably coupled to the fixing element, and the fixing element being detachably coupled to the frame.

2. The thermostat module of claim 1, wherein the fixing element is a hanging element, and an end of the hanging element has a hook portion, and the hanging element is hung onto the main body through the hook portion.

3. The thermostat module of claim 2, wherein there are a plurality of energy storage elements, and the energy storage elements are coupled sequentially in series with one another and stacked onto the hanging element.

4. The thermostat module of claim 2, wherein the hanging element is a hanging rod, and the energy storage element has a penetrating hole, and the energy storage element is sheathed on the hanging rod through the penetrating hole.

5. The thermostat module of claim 2, wherein the hanging element is a lanyard, and the energy storage element has a penetrating hole, and the energy storage element is sheathed on the lanyard through the penetrating hole.

6. The thermostat module of claim 2, wherein the hanging element is a U-shaped lanyard, and a circular slot is formed at the external periphery of the energy storage element, and the U-shaped lanyard is embedded into the circular slot, so that the energy storage element is positioned onto the U-shaped lanyard.

7. The thermostat module of claim 2, wherein the hanging element is a mesh bag, and the energy storage element is accommodated in the mesh bag.

8. The thermostat module of claim 1, wherein the energy storage element is a spherical block, a circular block, a cylindrical block, a rectangular block, a triangular block, a ring block, a rectangular ring block or a triangular ring block.

9. The thermostat module of claim 2, wherein the main body is a frame, and the frame has at least one hanging portion, and the hanging element is detachably hung onto the hanging portion through the hook portion.
