DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0044] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0045] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connection", "fixation", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0046] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the utility model, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the meaning of "and / or" appearing in the full text includes three parallel schemes. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes scheme A, or scheme B, or a scheme that satisfies both A and B. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the utility model.

[0047] like Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, the utility model provides a heat pump outer cover structure, including a first side cover 100, a second side cover 200 and a telescopic member, wherein the second side cover 200 is used to dock with the first side cover 100 to form a cylindrical outer cover. The telescopic member is arranged between the ends of the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 docked, one end of the telescopic member is connected to the first side cover 100, and one end of the telescopic member is connected to the second side cover 200. Through the telescopic member, the first side cover 100 or the second side cover 200 can actively adjust the distance with the second side cover 200 or the first side cover 100 under the action of external force, so that the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 can switch between docking and separation.

[0048] It should be noted that when the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 are connected, the end of the first side cover 100 is tightly fitted with the end of the second side cover 200; when the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 are separated, the end of the first side cover 100 and the end of the second side cover 200 maintain a certain distance.

[0049] It can be understood that by providing a telescopic member between the ends of the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 where they are connected, the first side cover 100 or the second side cover 200 can actively adjust the distance from the other side cover under the action of external force, so that the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 can be switched between the connected and separated states, that is, the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 can be separated by increasing the distance between the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200, which is equivalent to increasing the diameter or width of the cylindrical outer cover, so that the cylindrical outer cover can be easier to remove from the lower box body 20 of the water heater, thereby improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the heat pump outer cover structure and the water heater.

[0050] In some embodiments, the cylindrical outer cover formed by the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 being butted together is cylindrical, and the distance between the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 is positively correlated with the diameter of the cylindrical outer cover. When the distance between the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 is 0, the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 are butted together, and then the cylindrical outer cover is sleeved on the lower box 20 of the water heater. Since the cylindrical outer cover needs to be stably sleeved on the lower box 20 of the water heater, the diameter of the cylindrical outer cover when the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 are in the butted state is the same as the diameter of the lower box 20 of the water heater, and it is difficult to remove the cylindrical outer cover directly from the lower box 20 of the water heater. Therefore, the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 can be separated by increasing the distance between them, which is equivalent to increasing the diameter of the cylindrical outer cover, thereby making it easier to remove the heat pump outer cover structure and improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the heat pump outer cover structure and the water heater.

[0051] In some embodiments, the cylindrical outer cover formed by the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and the distance between the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 is positively correlated with the width of the cylindrical outer cover.

[0052] In some embodiments, the telescopic member is generally disposed on the inner side of the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 so that the ends of the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 can be closely butted.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 generally have an axisymmetric structure, that is, the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 have the same shape and size.

[0054] In some embodiments, the heat pump outer cover structure has two telescopic parts, which are a first telescopic part 300 and a second telescopic part 400; one end of the first telescopic part 300 is a fixed end, which is fixedly connected to the first side cover 100, and the other end of the first telescopic part 300 is a sliding end, which is slidably connected to the second side cover 200, and the first telescopic part 300 and the second side cover 200 are slidably connected along the height direction of the cylindrical outer cover; one end of the second telescopic part 400 is a fixed end, which is slidably connected to the first side cover 100, and the other end of the second telescopic part 400 is a sliding end, which is fixedly connected to the second side cover 200, and the second telescopic part 400 and the first side cover 100 are slidably connected along the height direction of the cylindrical outer cover.

[0055] It should be noted that when the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 are docked, the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 are simultaneously connected to the lower box body 20 of the water heater, and at this time, the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 cannot slide along the height direction of the cylindrical outer cover. When the first side cover 100 or the second side cover 200 actively adjusts a certain distance with the other side cover, that is, the first side cover 100 or the second side cover 200 actively separates from the other side cover, at this time, the side cover that is actively separated from the other side cover can slide relative to the other side cover. That is, the purpose of separating the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 is to separate the side cover from the lower box body 20 by actively adjusting the distance between the first side cover 100 or the second side cover 200 and the other side cover, so that the side cover can be opened under the action of external force.

[0056] It can be understood that one end of the first side cover 100 is fixedly connected to the first telescopic member 300, the other end of the first side cover 100 is slidably connected to the second telescopic member 400, and the other end of the first telescopic member 300 is slidably connected to the second side cover 200, that is, under the action of external force, the first side cover 100 and the first telescopic member 300 can be driven to slide relative to the second side cover 200 in the height direction of the cylindrical outer cover, further opening part of the heat pump outer cover structure, so as to facilitate the repair and maintenance of the water heater.

[0057] One end of the second side cover 200 is fixedly connected to the second telescopic member 400, and the other end of the second side cover 200 is slidably connected to the first telescopic member 300, and the other end of the second telescopic member 400 is slidably connected to the first side cover 100. That is, under the drive of external force, the second side cover 200 and the second telescopic member 400 can be driven to slide relative to the first side cover 100 in the height direction of the cylindrical outer cover, further opening part of the heat pump outer cover structure, which is convenient for repairing and maintaining the water heater.

[0058] That is, through the arrangement of the above embodiment, when the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 are separated, the first side cover 100 or the second side cover 200 can be opened separately to repair and maintain the water heater.

[0059] Furthermore, the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 are provided with pins at one end close to the lower box body 20, and the lower box body 20 is provided with slots that cooperate with the pins. The first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 are connected to the lower box body 20 through the cooperation of the pins and the slots.

[0060] Further, in some embodiments, the heat pump housing structure further includes a first drive assembly 500 and a second drive group 600. After the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 are adjusted to a first preset spacing, the first drive assembly 500 is connected to the fixed end of the first telescopic member 300 to drive the first side cover 100 and the first telescopic member 300 to reciprocate along the height direction of the cylindrical housing. After the second side cover 200 and the first side cover 100 are adjusted to a second preset spacing, the second drive group 600 is connected to the fixed end of the second telescopic member 400 to drive the second side cover 200 and the second telescopic member 400 to reciprocate along the height direction of the cylindrical housing.

[0061] It should be noted that the first side cover 100 actively adjusts the first preset distance with the second side cover 200, and uses external force to pull the first side cover 100 in a direction away from the second side cover 200, so that the first side cover 100 moves the first preset distance in a direction away from the second side cover 200, that is, the first side cover 100 moves to the first position away from the second side cover 200. At this time, the fixed end of the first telescopic member 300 is connected to the first drive assembly 500, and the first drive assembly 500 can drive the first side cover 100 and the first telescopic member 300 to reciprocate along the height direction of the cylindrical outer cover to open and close the cylindrical outer cover.

[0062] Generally, the first drive assembly 500 is also arranged inside the cylindrical outer cover, and can be arranged on the end of the lower box body 20 of the water heater, and maintains a first preset distance with the fixed end of the first telescopic member 300 in the direction away from the first side cover 100, so that after the first side cover 100 moves the first preset distance in the direction away from the second side cover 200, the sliding end of the first telescopic member 300 is just connected to the first drive assembly 500.

[0063] The second side cover 200 and the second drive group 600 can be set with reference to the first drive assembly 500 and the first side cover 100 in the above embodiment. That is, the second drive group 600 is set inside the cylindrical outer cover and on the end of the lower tank 20 of the water heater, and maintains a second preset distance with the fixed end of the second telescopic member 400 in the direction away from the first side cover 100, so that after the second side cover 200 moves in the direction away from the first side cover 100 by the second preset distance, the fixed end of the second telescopic member 400 is just connected with the second drive group 600.

[0064] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the end of the first telescopic member 300 connected to the first side cover 100 is provided with a first rack portion 301, and the first rack portion 301 is arranged along the height direction of the cylindrical outer cover. The first drive assembly 500 includes a first drive motor 501 and a first gear 502 connected to the first drive motor 501. When the first telescopic member 300 is connected to the first drive assembly 500, the first gear 502 is meshed with the first rack portion 301. The end of the second telescopic member 400 connected to the second side cover 200 is provided with a second rack portion, and the second rack portion is arranged along the height direction of the cylindrical outer cover. The second drive group 600 includes a second drive motor and a second gear connected to the second drive motor. When the second telescopic member 400 is connected to the second drive group 600, the second gear is meshed with the second rack portion.

[0065] It can be understood that by driving the gear to move in the height direction of the cylindrical outer cover, the first side cover 100 and the first telescopic member 300 are driven to reciprocate in the height direction of the cylindrical outer cover by the driving motor, or the second side cover 200 and the second telescopic member 400 are driven to reciprocate in the height direction of the cylindrical outer cover by the driving motor; thereby realizing the automatic opening of the first side cover 100 or the second side cover 200.

[0066] Furthermore, in some embodiments, a first slide groove is provided on the second side cover 200, the first slide groove is provided along the height direction of the cylindrical outer cover, and the sliding end of the first telescopic member 300 is slidably connected to the first slide groove; a second slide groove is provided on the first side cover 100, the second slide groove is provided along the height direction of the cylindrical outer cover, and the sliding end of the second telescopic member 400 is slidably connected to the second slide groove.

[0067] It can be understood that the first slide groove is used to define the reciprocating direction of the first telescopic member 300 and the first side cover 100, and the second slide groove is used to define the reciprocating direction of the second telescopic member 400 and the stacked side cover.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first telescopic member 300 and the second telescopic member 400 are both telescopic connecting rod mechanisms.

[0069] In some embodiments, a rack portion is provided at one end of the telescopic link mechanism to mesh with the first gear 502 or the second gear, and the other end of the telescopic link is connected to the second slide groove or the first slide groove.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first telescopic member 300 and the second telescopic member 400 are a telescopic arc plate assembly, wherein the telescopic arc plate assembly includes a first arc plate and a second arc plate, one end of the first arc plate is slidably connected to the second arc plate, the first arc plate is connected to the first side cover 100 or the second side cover 200 as one end of the telescopic member, and the second arc plate is connected to the first side cover 100 or the second side cover 200 as the other end of the telescopic member.

[0071] When the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 are butted together to form a cylindrical outer cover, the first arc plate, the second arc plate, the first side cover 100 and the second side cover 200 are cocentric.

[0072] In some embodiments, one end of the first telescopic member 300 is slidably connected to the first side cover 100 along the height direction of the cylindrical outer cover, and the other end of the first telescopic member 300 is fixedly connected to the second side cover 200; one end of the second telescopic member 400 is slidably connected to the first side cover 100 along the height direction of the cylindrical outer cover, and the other end of the second telescopic member 400 is fixedly connected to the second side cover 200. That is, the second side cover 200 can be driven by an external force to drive the second side cover 200, the first telescopic member 300 and the second telescopic member 400 to slide relative to the first side cover 100; or the first side cover 100 can be driven by an external force to slide relative to the second side cover 200.

[0073] That is, in this embodiment, the first telescopic member 300 and the second telescopic member 400 can only move together with the second side cover 200 .

[0074] In some embodiments, one end of the telescopic member is fixedly connected to the first side cover 100, and the other end of the telescopic member is slidably connected to the second side cover 200; the heat pump outer cover structure also includes a third drive component, which is arranged near the end of the telescopic member connected to the first side cover 100, and the third drive component is used to drive the telescopic member and the first side cover 100 to reciprocate along the height direction of the cylindrical outer cover.

[0075] It should be noted that in this example, there are two telescopic members, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the first side cover 100 and are respectively connected to the second side cover 200. In this embodiment, there are also two third driving assemblies, which are respectively used to drive the two telescopic members and the first side cover 100 to reciprocate along the height direction of the cylindrical outer cover relative to the second side cover 200, thereby realizing the automatic opening of the first side cover 100. That is, since the telescopic member is fixedly connected to the first side cover 100, while driving the telescopic member to reciprocate along the height direction of the cylindrical outer cover, the first side cover 100 and the telescopic member can be driven to move together.

[0076] The setting positions of the third driving assembly and the telescopic member can be set with reference to the positional relationship between the first driving assembly 500 and the first telescopic member 300 in the above embodiment, so that after the first side cover 100 actively adjusts the distance, the first telescopic member 300 is just connected to the third driving assembly.

[0077] The structure of the third drive component can be set with reference to the structure of the first drive component 500. For example, a rack portion is provided at one end of the telescopic component close to the third drive component. The third drive component includes a third drive motor and a third gear. The third gear is used to engage with the rack portion to drive the telescopic component to reciprocate.

[0078] The third driving assembly can also be an electric telescopic rod, and a first connection structure is provided at one end of the telescopic member close to the electric telescopic rod, and a second connection structure is provided on the electric telescopic rod. When the first side cover 100 or the second side cover 200 actively adjusts the preset spacing, the first connection structure is engaged with the second connection structure, and the electric telescopic rod drives the telescopic member to reciprocate. The first driving assembly 500 and the second driving assembly 600 can also adopt the technical solution of the electric telescopic rod in this embodiment.

[0079] In some embodiments, one end of the telescopic member is fixedly connected to the first side cover 100, and the other end of the telescopic member is slidably connected to the second side cover 200; the heat pump outer cover structure also includes a fourth drive assembly, which is arranged near the end of the telescopic member connected to the second side cover 200, and the fourth drive assembly is used to drive the telescopic member and the second side cover 200 to reciprocate along the height direction of the cylindrical outer cover.

[0080] That is, the fourth driving assembly is arranged at one end of the telescopic member slidably connected to the second side cover 200 to drive the telescopic member to move along the height direction of the cylindrical outer cover, thereby driving the second side cover to move along with the first telescopic member 300.

[0081] It is understandable that the positional relationship and structure of the fourth drive assembly and the telescopic member in this embodiment can refer to the positional relationship and structure of the third drive assembly and the telescopic member in the above embodiment. That is, the fourth drive assembly is used to drive the first side cover 100 to open automatically.

[0082] In some embodiments, the first side cover 100 includes a first side cover 100 body and a first air inlet grille 110 .
