Gas stove and heating and ventilation equipment

Abstract

The embodiment of the application discloses a gas stove and a heating and ventilation equipment, the gas stove comprises a shell, the shell comprises a main shell and an air outlet plate, the main shell is formed with an inner cavity, the air outlet plate is connected with the main shell and forms an air outlet communicated with the inner cavity, the air outlet plate has a bending line, and a through hole is arranged at the bending line. The application sets the through hole at the bending line of the air outlet of the gas stove, which is helpful to reduce the bending difficulty of the air outlet plate at the bending line. The bending difficulty of the air outlet plate is reduced, which is helpful to bend manually or with the help of simple tools. In this way, the air outlet plate can not be bent when the gas stove is shipped, and it can be bent outward or inward according to specific needs when it is installed and used. Compared with the related art in which the bending direction of the air outlet plate is fixed when it is shipped, more use requirements can be met. Since the bending of the air outlet plate forms a bent edge mainly to facilitate the installation of devices connected to the air outlet, the stress is small, and the structural strength requirement is not high, therefore, the setting of the through hole at the bending line almost does not affect the use performance of the air outlet plate.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment technology, and more particularly to a gas furnace and HVAC equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In North America, gas-fired products are widely used for winter heating in homes, especially gas boilers. However, gas boilers can only provide heating and cannot provide cooling, thus failing to meet the cooling needs in summer. To meet summer cooling requirements, gas boilers are often installed and used in conjunction with refrigeration products.

[0003] When a gas stove is used in conjunction with a refrigeration product, the air outlet of the gas stove needs to be connected to the air outlet of the refrigeration product. However, the air outlet of the gas stove has an outward folded edge, and the air outlet of the refrigeration product also has an outward folded edge. As a result, when the air outlets of the two are connected, the folded edges at the air outlets will interfere with each other. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a gas furnace and HVAC equipment to improve the problem in related technologies where the folded edges at the air vents of the gas furnace and refrigeration products interfere with each other when the gas furnace and refrigeration products are used together.

[0005] Typically, the gas stove's air outlet edge is cut off with a cutting machine before the gas stove and refrigeration products are installed to accommodate the installation, which greatly increases the difficulty of installation.

[0006] This application provides a gas stove, including: The outer casing, including the main casing and the air outlet panel, The main shell has an inner cavity, the air outlet plate is connected to the main shell and forms an air outlet communicating with the inner cavity, the air outlet plate has a bending line and a through hole is provided at the bending line.

[0007] In some embodiments, the through hole includes: First through hole; and, The second through hole communicates with the first through hole, and the first through hole and the second through hole are distributed on opposite sides of the bending line.

[0008] In some embodiments, the air outlet plate includes: Multiple air outlet panels are arranged to form the air outlet, and each air outlet panel has the bending line.

[0009] In some embodiments, each of the air outlet partitions is provided with a plurality of through holes at the bend line, and the plurality of through holes are spaced apart along the direction of the bend line.

[0010] In some embodiments, the main shell includes: The first side shell is located on the same side of the main shell as the air outlet plate. The first side shell includes multiple side shells, and the multiple side shells are connected to the multiple air outlet plates in a one-to-one correspondence and are an integral structure. The bending line is formed between the air outlet plates and the corresponding side shells.

[0011] In some embodiments, the main shell includes: The second side shell is located on the adjacent side of the main shell, and the plurality of side shells include the first side shell. The plurality of air outlet partitions include the first air outlet partition. The second side shell, the first side shell, and the first air outlet partition are an integral structure.

[0012] In some embodiments, the main shell includes a plurality of second side shells located on different sides of the main shell. The plurality of side shells include a plurality of first side shells, and the plurality of air outlet partitions include a plurality of first air outlet partitions. Multiple second side shells correspond one-to-one with multiple first side shells and multiple first air outlet plates to form an integrated structure.

[0013] In some embodiments, the main shell has side openings located on adjacent sides of the main shell, and the side openings are located on different sides of the main shell, along with a plurality of second side shells. The plurality of side shells include a second side shell, which is disposed adjacent to the side opening. The plurality of air outlet partitions include a second air outlet partition, and the second side shell and the second air outlet partition are an integral structure.

[0014] In some embodiments, the air outlet plate is folded outward at the bend line to form an outer folded edge located outside the main housing.

[0015] In some embodiments, the air outlet plate is folded inward at the bend line to form an inner folded edge located in the inner cavity.

[0016] This application provides a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) device, including the gas furnace described above.

[0017] In some embodiments, an air vent is included, wherein the air outlet plate is folded outward at the bending line to form an outer folded edge located outside the main housing, the air vent sleeve covers the outer folded edge and the air vent covers the through hole, and the air vent is connected to the air outlet.

[0018] In some embodiments, a cooling element is included, the air outlet plate is folded inward at the bending line to form an inner folded edge located in the inner cavity, the cooling element is partially inserted into the inner folded edge and the cooling element blocks the through hole, and the cooling element is in communication with the air outlet.

[0019] The gas furnace and HVAC equipment of this application embodiment have through holes provided at the bending line of the gas furnace's air outlet, which helps reduce the difficulty of bending the air outlet plate at the bending line. The reduced bending difficulty of the air outlet plate makes it easier to bend manually or with simple tools. Thus, the air outlet plate can be shipped unbent, and then bent outwards or inwards during installation and use according to specific needs. Compared to related technologies where the bending direction of the air outlet plate is fixed at the factory, this can adapt to more usage requirements. For example, when the gas furnace is paired with a refrigeration unit, the air outlet plate can be folded inwards to avoid interference between the folded edges of the gas furnace and the refrigeration unit's air outlets.

[0020] Since the bend in the air outlet plate is mainly to facilitate the installation of components connected to the air outlet, the stress is relatively small and the structural strength requirement is not high. Therefore, setting through holes at the bend line will hardly affect the performance of the air outlet plate. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] In the following description, when referring to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a heating and ventilation device 2, which includes a gas furnace 1. The gas furnace 1 includes a shell 10, which forms an inner cavity 101 and an air outlet 102 communicating with the inner cavity 101. Airflow can be output at the air outlet 102.

[0027] In some embodiments, the HVAC equipment 2 includes an air vent component that is connected to an air outlet 102. Thus, when heating is required in indoor areas, the gas furnace 1 can be controlled to burn gas and its fan can be started, causing the air outlet 102 to output hot airflow, which can be transmitted towards the room through the air vent component.

[0028] In other embodiments, the HVAC equipment 2 includes a refrigeration component 4, which is connected to the air outlet 102. Thus, when cooling is required in indoor areas, the gas furnace 1 can be controlled to operate without burning gas, with only the fan starting and the refrigeration component 4 activating. This allows the airflow from the air outlet 102 to pass through the refrigeration component 4, resulting in cold air that can be directed towards the interior. The refrigeration component 4 can be an evaporator, and this is not limited to that.

[0029] It should be noted that, due to the orientation limitation of the water tray inside the refrigeration unit 4, the air outlet orientation of the refrigeration unit 4 includes air outlet facing upward and air outlet facing right. Thus, when the gas furnace 1 is paired with the refrigeration unit 4, the gas furnace 1 is installed with its air outlet facing downward so as to connect with the refrigeration unit 4 with its air outlet facing upward, or the gas furnace 1 is installed with its air outlet facing left so as to connect with the refrigeration unit 4 with its air outlet facing right.

[0030] Based on the above description, the devices connected to the air outlet 102 of the gas furnace 1 are different under different heating and cooling needs. For example, when heating, the air outlet 102 is connected to an air outlet component, while when cooling, the air outlet 102 is connected to a cooling component 4.

[0031] Next, see Figures 1 to 11 A detailed description of gas furnace 1 is provided.

[0032] See Figures 1 to 7 The outer shell 10 of the gas furnace 1 includes a main shell 11 and an air outlet plate 12. The main shell 11 forms an inner cavity 101, and the air outlet plate 12 is connected to the main shell 11 and forms an air outlet 102 communicating with the inner cavity 101. The air outlet plate 12 has a bending line 103, and a through hole 104 is provided at the bending line 103.

[0033] In this embodiment, a through hole 104 is provided at the bending line 103, which helps to reduce the bending difficulty of the air outlet plate 12 at the bending line 103. The reduced bending difficulty of the air outlet plate 12 makes it easier to bend manually or with simple tools. Thus, the air outlet plate 12 of the gas furnace 1 can be manufactured as follows: Figures 4 to 7 The image shown is unbent, but during installation and use, it should be adjusted according to specific needs, such as... Figure 8 and Figure 9 The outward bend shown or as Figure 10 and Figure 11 The inward bend shown, compared to the fixed bending direction of the air outlet plate in related technologies, can adapt to more usage requirements. For example, when used with the refrigeration component 4, the air outlet plate 12 can be folded inward to avoid interference between the folded edges of the gas furnace 1 and the refrigeration component 4.

[0034] Since the bend in the air outlet plate 12 is mainly to facilitate the installation of devices connected to the air outlet 102, the stress it is subjected to is small and the structural strength requirement is not high. Therefore, the through hole 104 at the bend line 103 will hardly affect the performance of the air outlet plate 12.

[0035] It should be noted that the bending line 103 mentioned above only exists after the air outlet plate 12 is bent. When bending the air outlet plate 12, the bending can be performed at the through hole 104 so that the bending line 103 at the bending position is interrupted by the through hole 104, making the bending easier.

[0036] In some embodiments, the air outlet plate 12 is folded outward at the bending line 103 to form an outer folded edge 1211 located outside the main housing 11. Thus, when the air outlet component is connected at the air outlet 102, the air outlet component can be fitted with the outer folded edge 1211, which facilitates the installation of the air outlet component.

[0037] When the air vent fitting is fitted with an outer folded edge 1211, the air vent fitting will also block the through hole 104 to prevent air leakage at the through hole 104.

[0038] Furthermore, the air vent and the air outlet plate 12 are also sealed together to ensure the airtightness of the connection between the air vent and the air outlet plate 12.

[0039] In other embodiments, the air outlet plate 12 is folded inward at the bending line 103 to form an inner folded edge 1212 located in the inner cavity 101. Thus, when the cooling component 4 is connected at the air outlet 102, the cooling component 4 can be partially inserted into the inner folded edge 1212, which facilitates the installation of the cooling component 4.

[0040] When the inner folded edge 1212 is inserted into the cooling component 4, the cooling component 4 will also block the through hole 104 to prevent air leakage at the through hole 104. For example, Figure 3 In the middle, the air outlet of the cooling component 4 has an end plate 401 and a folded edge 402. The end plate 401 is roughly attached to the main shell 11, and the folded edge 402 is inserted into the inner folded edge 1212 and is roughly attached to the inner folded edge 1212.

[0041] It should be noted that the air outlet where the cooling component 4 connects to the air outlet 102 may not have a folded edge. In this case, the air outlet plate 12 can be bent to form an inner folded edge 1211 or an outer folded edge 1211. When the cooling component 4 is connected to the air outlet 102, it will block the through hole 104 on the air outlet plate 12.

[0042] Furthermore, the cooling component 4 and the air outlet plate 12 are also sealed together to ensure the airtightness of the connection between the cooling component 4 and the air outlet plate 12.

[0043] The through hole 104 includes a first through hole 1041 and a second through hole 1042 that are connected to each other. The first through hole 1041 and the second through hole 1042 are distributed on opposite sides of the bending line 103. It can be understood that the larger the size of the through hole 104, the less likely the bent edge will be interfered with by the inner wall of the through hole 104 when bending at the through hole 104, and the easier the bending operation. Designing the first through hole 1041 and the second through hole 1042 to be distributed on opposite sides of the bending line 103 can ensure that the size of the through hole 104 is large enough, while also providing better structural strength of the bent edge, which is beneficial for the installation of the device.

[0044] The specific dimensions of the through hole 104 can be designed according to actual needs, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0045] The air outlet panel 12 includes multiple air outlet partitions 121, which together form an air outlet 102. Each air outlet partition 121 has a bending line 103. Thus, when bending the air outlet panel 12, each air outlet partition 121 can be bent separately at its bending line 103. Since each air outlet partition 121 has a through hole 104 at its bending line 103, the bending operation is easier. In some embodiments, the air outlet panel 12 includes four air outlet partitions 12, which together form a quadrilateral air outlet 102. Each of the four air outlet partitions 12 has a bending line 103.

[0046] Viewed along the axial direction of the air outlet 102, two adjacent air outlet partitions 121 are disconnected. Thus, when each air outlet partition 121 is bent along its bending line 103, it will not be interfered with by other air outlet partitions 121.

[0047] The bending lines 103 of multiple air outlet partitions 121 are connected in a loop so that the folds formed by bending multiple air outlet partitions 121 can be roughly connected in a loop without misalignment, ensuring that each fold can fit with the access device at the air outlet 102.

[0048] Each air outlet partition 121 has multiple through holes 104 at the bending line 103, and the through holes 104 are spaced apart along the direction of the bending line 103. The more through holes 104 there are, the easier it is to bend the air outlet partition 121 at the bending line 103. By designing multiple through holes 104 spaced apart along the direction of the bending line 103, the structural strength of each part of the folded edge formed after the air outlet partition 121 is roughly balanced, while ensuring that the air outlet partition 121 is easy to bend.

[0049] The main housing 11 includes a first side housing 111. The air outlet plate 12 and the first side housing 111 are located on the same side of the main housing 11, and a bending line 103 is formed between the air outlet plate 12 and the first side housing 111. Thus, the aforementioned air outlet plate 12 is bent relative to the first side housing 111.

[0050] In one embodiment, the first side shell 111 is a single plate.

[0051] In another embodiment, the first side shell 111 includes multiple side sub-shells 1111, which are connected one-to-one with multiple air outlet partitions 121 and are integral structures. A bending line 103 is formed between the air outlet partition 121 and the corresponding side sub-shell 1111. Designing the side sub-shell 1111 and the corresponding air outlet partition 121 as an integral structure can save the connection steps between the side sub-shell 1111 and the corresponding air outlet partition 121, which helps to improve assembly efficiency.

[0052] The main shell 11 includes a second side shell 112, which is located on the adjacent side of the main shell 11. Multiple side shells 1111 include a first side shell 1111a, and multiple air outlet partitions 121 include a first air outlet partition 121a. The second side shell 112, the first side shell 1111a, and the first air outlet partition 121a are integrally formed. This eliminates the need for connection steps between the second side shell 112, the first side shell 1111a, and the first air outlet partition 121a, thus improving assembly efficiency.

[0053] The main shell 11 includes multiple second side shells 112, with different second side shells 112 located on different sides of the main shell 11. The multiple side shells 1111 include multiple first side shells 1111a, and the multiple air outlet partitions 121 include multiple first air outlet partitions 121a. The multiple second side shells 112, the multiple first side shells 1111a, and the multiple first air outlet partitions 121a correspond one-to-one to form an integral structure.

[0054] The main shell 11 has a side opening 113. The side opening 113 and the first side shell 111 are located on the adjacent side of the main shell 11. The side opening 113 and a plurality of second side shells 112 are located on different sides of the main shell 11. The plurality of side shells 1111 include a second side shell 1111b. The second side shell 1111b is disposed adjacent to the side opening 113. The plurality of air outlet partitions 121 include a second air outlet partition 121b. The second side shell 1111b and the second air outlet partition 121b are an integral structure.

[0055] In some embodiments, the gas furnace 1 is generally rectangular in shape, and the main shell 11 includes a first side shell 111, three second side shells 112 and a third side shell. The first side shell 111 and the third side shell are opposite to each other and spaced apart. The three second side shells 112 are located between the first side shell 111 and the third side shell and connect the first side shell 111 and the third side shell. The side opening 113 of the main shell 11 is located between the first side shell 111 and the third side shell. The three second side shells 112 and the side opening 113 are located on different sides of the main shell 11.
