Mounting structure for temperature switch

摘要

A structure for mounting a temperature switch on a compressor of a vehicle air-conditioner is disclosed. The switch has a cylindrical metal container and a thermally responsive element disposed on a container bottom. The structure includes a housing recess for housing the switch, a fixing cover including an upper cover and one or plural band-shaped legs downwardly extending from a peripheral edge of the cover and housed in the recess with the switch, and one or plural claws formed on the fixing cover legs. When the switch is housed in the recess, the claws are engaged with an inner surface of the recess to be locked. An adhesive is interposed between the switch and the recess when the switch is housed in the recess. The legs are constructed so that parts of the legs are buried in the adhesive when the switch is housed in the recess.
