TEMPERATURE REGULATOR Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: temperature control equipment. SUBSTANCE: temperature has thermal sensitive element 2 manufactured in the form of spring from material with thermomechanical shape memory located in body 1. One end of element is connected to one of poles 36 of power supply source and is hinged to immobile support and the other end is hinged via stabilizer to mobile spring-loaded contact 16 snugly touching immobile contact 23 of actuator. Actuator is connected to other pole 25 of power supply source. Mobile contact 16 is mounted for resting against spring-loaded release. Travel limiter 31 of adjustable unit for setting of operation temperature is placed opposite to release. Stabilizer is fabricated in the form of bar 5 with brackets 6 and 7 on ends mounted for movement along guides 10 and 11 fixed immobile on stationary supports 20. Cocking springs 8 and 9 are anchored on each of guides between one of stationary supports and bracket. EFFECT: provision for control over temperature within preassigned mode of operation, enhanced accuracy of switching on and off of martensite drive within limits of interval of martensite transitions by increased travel of thermosensitive element. 4 cl, 1 dwg
