Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of outdoor gas water heaters, in particular to an outdoor water heater with a quick-detachable suspension structure. Background Art

[0002] Household gas water heaters are primarily wall-mounted, and their piping is designed for vertical installation. This allows for smooth water flow through the heating element, achieving optimal heating. Therefore, if the water heater is installed horizontally, water flow will be blocked, impacting heating effectiveness. Furthermore, horizontal installation may cause the heating element to overheat, shortening the water heater's lifespan.

[0003] The internal piping design of outdoor gas water heaters is almost the same as that of ordinary household gas water heaters. The biggest difference is that since there is often a lack of wall-mounted conditions outdoors, the bottom of the outdoor gas water heater is generally designed with feet, changing from a wall-mounted type to a desktop type. When in use, the user needs to find a flat surface outdoors to place the outdoor gas water heater so that the water heater body remains vertical. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN201875897U discloses an outdoor gas water heater with a bottom windproof device, which is a typical desktop gas water heater. However, desktop gas water heaters are very easy to tip over in actual use, affecting the heating effect of the water heater. The reason is that the water outlet pipe of the water heater is directly connected to the water outlet end of the water heater body, but there is no condition to fix the water outlet pipe outdoors. Users often pull the water outlet pipe excessively when using water, causing the water heater to be pulled over together. Therefore, the risk of desktop gas water heaters tipping over is extremely high.

[0004] In light of this, manufacturers of outdoor gas water heaters are increasingly focusing on hanging water heaters. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN205807799U discloses a portable, multi-purpose gas water heater whose U-shaped member can be used as a handle for portable transport and, for temporary outdoor use, can be hung from a hook at a specific location. However, this U-shaped member can only be hung from open protrusions and cannot be installed on absolutely closed structures such as annular pipes or relatively closed structures such as tree forks. Furthermore, hanging from open protrusions still poses a risk of being pulled down. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention proposes an outdoor water heater with a quick-detachable hanging structure, which mainly solves the problem that existing hanging water heaters cannot be hung on closed structures such as ring pipes or tree forks.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solutions of the present utility model are as follows:

[0007] An outdoor water heater with a quick-release hanging structure includes a water heater body and a hanging member installed on the water heater body, wherein the hanging member includes a first handle and a second handle separated from the middle, wherein the relative proximal ends of the first handle and the second handle are connected by a quick-release structure, and the relative distal ends of the first handle and / or the second handle are hinged to the water heater body by a hinge.

[0008] In some embodiments, the first handle is formed by bending a concentric tube of different diameters, and the second handle is formed by bending a tube of the same diameter, and the thin tube portion of the first handle is inserted into the second handle in a transitional manner.

[0009] In some embodiments, the rotation axis of the hinge is parallel to the portion where the first handle and the second handle are connected.

[0010] In some embodiments, it also includes a fixing part fixed on the back side of the water heater body, and the relative distal ends of the first handle and / or the second handle are flattened to form a connecting part, and the connecting part is hinged to the corresponding fixing part through the hinge. When the first handle and the second handle are buckled together, there is a gap between the connecting part and the fixing part, and the gap is greater than or equal to the length of the thin tube diameter portion.

[0011] In some embodiments, the quick-release structure is a V-shaped snap buckle.

[0012] In some embodiments, a first fixing hole is provided on the surface of the thin tube diameter portion, and a second fixing hole is provided on the surface of the second handle that matches the position of the first fixing hole. The spring piece portion of the V-shaped spring buckle is fixedly installed inside the thin tube diameter portion, and the ball portion of the V-shaped spring buckle passes through the first fixing hole and the second fixing hole in sequence and protrudes outside the second handle.

[0013] In some embodiments, a hanging lug is further provided on the back of the water heater body.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by arranging a first handle and a second handle that can be freely separated and fixed on the water heater body, when in use, the first handle and the second handle are quickly separated by using a quick-release structure, and then one of the handles is selected to rotate along the axis of the hinge to expand the bifurcation distance between the two handles so that objects such as an annular tube or a tree branch can enter the space between the two handles, and finally the first handle and the second handle are locked again by the quick-release structure. The utility model can be applied to absolutely closed structures such as annular tubes, or relatively closed structures such as tree forks, and there is no risk of the water heater tipping over.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, the drawings only illustrate portions relevant to the present invention, not all of it.

[0022] This embodiment proposes an outdoor water heater with a quick-release suspension structure. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a water heater body 100 and a hanging member installed on the water heater body 100, the hanging member includes a first handle 1 and a second handle 2 separated from the middle, wherein the relative proximal ends of the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 are connected by a quick-release structure, and the relative distal ends of the first handle 1 and / or the second handle 2 are hinged to the water heater body 100 through a hinge 3.

[0023] In this embodiment, a first handle 1 and a second handle 2 that can be freely separated and fixed are provided on the water heater body 100. Before hanging, the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 are quickly separated using a quick-release structure, and then one of the handles is selected to rotate along the axis of the hinge 3 to expand the bifurcation distance between the two handles so that objects such as an annular tube or a tree branch can enter the space between the two handles. Finally, the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 are locked again using the quick-release structure, and the water heater body 100 is hung on the annular tube or the tree branch under the action of its own gravity.

[0024] In one example, if Figure 1 As shown, the first handle 1 is formed by bending a concentric reducer, and the second handle 2 is formed by bending a concentric reducer. The thin tube portion 11 of the first handle 1 is inserted into the second handle 2 with a transitional fit. The thin tube portion 11 refers to the smaller diameter section of the concentric reducer. Correspondingly, the larger diameter section can be considered the thicker tube portion. This thicker tube portion serves as the shoulder of the thin tube portion 11. When the thin tube portion 11 is inserted into the second handle 2 with a transitional fit, the end of the second handle 2 abuts against the shoulder, serving as a stopper for the connection between the first and second handles 1 and 2.

[0025] In the above examples, the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 belong to a tubular nested connection limit structure. Therefore, in the task of separating the first handle 1 and the second handle 2, they must move in opposite directions. The rotation axis of the hinge 3 is parallel to the portion where the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 are connected. In one example, assuming that the relative distal ends of the two handles are hinged to the water heater body 100 with a single degree of freedom, the user can use the elastic deformation of the two handles to forcibly separate them in opposite directions. To facilitate user operation, a labor-saving hinge structure is provided in another example to add a degree of freedom of translation. Specifically, Figure 2 and 3 As shown, it also includes a fixing part 101 fixed on the back of the water heater body 100, and the relative distal ends of the first handle 1 and / or the second handle 2 are flattened to form a connecting part 12, and the connecting part 12 is hinged to the corresponding fixing part 101 through the hinge 3. When the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 are buckled together, there is a gap between the connecting part 12 and the fixing part 101, and the gap is greater than or equal to the length of the thin tube diameter part 11. Obviously, in this solution, when the user separates the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 in reverse, the connecting part 12 will gradually approach the fixing part 101 along the axial direction of the hinge 3 until the thin tube diameter part 11 is completely separated from the second handle 2.

[0026] The quick release structure can be any mechanical quick release device, such as an external clamp quick release clamp. Figure 4As shown, the quick-release structure is a V-shaped snap buckle 4, which is installed inside the thin tube portion 11. On this basis, a specific installation structure of the V-shaped snap buckle 4 is further provided. The surface of the thin tube portion 11 is provided with a first fixing hole 13, and the surface of the second handle 2 is provided with a second fixing hole 21 that matches the position of the first fixing hole 13. The spring portion 41 of the V-shaped snap buckle 4 is fixedly installed inside the thin tube portion 11, and the ball portion 42 of the V-shaped snap buckle 4 passes through the first fixing hole 13 and the second fixing hole 21 in sequence and protrudes outside the second handle 2. In the above structure, the main body of the V-shaped snap buckle 4 is hidden inside the thin tube portion 11, saving installation space. During use, when the thin tube portion 11 is inserted into the second handle 2 with a transition fit, the end of the second handle 2 rests on the shaft shoulder, and the ball portion 42 of the V-shaped snap buckle 4 just passes through the first fixing hole 13 and the second fixing hole 21 until it is exposed outside the second handle 2, completing the locking of the two handles.

[0027] In an optional solution, a hanging ear 5 is further provided on the back of the water heater body 100. The hanging ear 5 is adapted to the perforated multi-function board and only needs to be aligned with the hole on the perforated hanging board and then lowered.

[0028] The above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the technical concepts and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them accordingly. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications based on the essence of the present invention are intended to be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
