THERMISTOR FIXING STRUCTURE, THERMISTOR REMOVING METHOD, AND AIR-CONDITIONING APPARATUS

摘要

Provided is a thermistor fixing structure capable of facilitating insertion of a thermistor into a temperature sensitive cylinder, and preventing the thermistor from easily dropping off the temperature sensitive cylinder. In a thermistor fixing structure (4000), a fixture (400) for pressing a thermistor (80) against an inner surface of a temperature sensitive cylinder (90) includes an inner bending section (20) formed at one end portion (12) of a longitudinal section (10) so as to function as a stopper for the thermistor (80) inserted into the temperature sensitive cylinder (90) from a cylinder insertion end (95), an outer bending section (50) formed at the one end portion (12) of the longitudinal section (10) so as to be opposed to a cylinder stop end (94), and an inner folding section (30) and an outer folding section (60) formed at another end portion (13) of the longitudinal section (10) so as to sandwich a cylinder top surface of the temperature sensitive cylinder (90). A side surface of the thermistor (80) is pressed at two points corresponding to an apex of a projecting portion (32) formed on the inner folding section (30) and a distal end (41) of a pressing section (40) formed continuously with the inner folding section (30), and a contact angle (α) formed between the pressing section (40) and the side surface of the thermistor (80) on the cylinder insertion end (95) side is an acute angle.

主权项

1. A thermistor fixing structure, comprising:
a temperature sensitive cylinder having openings at both ends thereof; a thermistor inserted into the temperature sensitive cylinder; and a fixture comprising a pressing section for pressing the thermistor against an inner surface of the temperature sensitive cylinder, a distal end of the pressing section being brought into abutment against a side surface of the thermistor inserted into the temperature sensitive cylinder, an angle formed between the pressing section and the side surface of the thermistor on a cylinder insertion end side of the temperature sensitive cylinder being an acute angle.
