[0033] A gas water heater uses gas as its main energy source and transfers the high-temperature heat generated by gas combustion to cold water flowing through a heat exchanger to prepare hot water.
[0034] A gas water heater generally comprises a shell, and components such as a burner, a heat exchanger, a fan and a fan cover arranged in the shell.
[0035] The gas is transported to the burner and ignited by an ignition device, so that the burner burns the transported gas to generate heat.
[0036] A heat exchange tube is provided in the heat exchanger, one end of the heat exchange tube is connected to the water supply pipeline, and the other end of the heat exchange tube is connected to a shower or a faucet.
[0037] The heat generated by the burner burning gas is used to heat the heat exchange tubes, so that the water temperature in the heat exchange tubes is increased to form hot water.
[0038] When the gas water heater is working, cold water provided by the water supply pipe flows into the heat exchange tube, and is then heated into hot water by the heat source generated by the burner, and then flows out from the shower or faucet through the hot water valve for user use.
[0039] At the same time, when the gas water heater is working, the fan is powered on and runs at the same time. Under the action of the fan, the smoke generated by the burner is discharged to the outside.
[0040] In the first aspect, combined Figures 1 to 9 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a combustion chamber assembly, which includes a combustion chamber frame 1, a heat insulation member 2, and a burner frame 3.

[0042] The heat insulating member 2 is arranged in the accommodating cavity and is located above the combustion chamber frame 1. The heat insulating member 2 has a heat-insulating effect and can reduce the loss of heat generated by the combustion of gas.
[0043] The heat insulating member 2 is made of heat-insulating material. For example, the heat insulating member 2 is made of aluminum silicate heat insulating wool board.
[0044] A bent portion 13 is formed on the side of the enclosure 11 facing the accommodating cavity. The bent portion 13 is configured to fix the thermal insulation component 2 on the inner wall surface of the accommodating cavity.
[0045] Specifically, the combustion chamber assembly includes a combustion chamber frame 1 and a heat insulating member 2. The combustion chamber frame 1 includes a surrounding plate 11 and a front cover plate 12. The surrounding plate 11 and the front cover plate 12 enclose a receiving cavity. The heat insulating member 2 is arranged in the receiving cavity to reduce the heat generated by the combustion of the gas from being lost to the outside. The surrounding plate 11 is formed with a bent portion 13 facing the receiving cavity side. The heat insulating member 2 is fixed to the surrounding plate 11 through the bent portion 13, which reduces the amount of screws used and does not require an additional bracket to install the heat insulating member 2, which is beneficial to improving assembly efficiency.
[0046] Exemplarily, the enclosure 11 is U-shaped. The enclosure 11 can be an integrated structure or a split structure.
[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 The bent portion 13 is a flange formed by punching a hole on the enclosure 11 .
[0048] Specifically, the bent portion 13 and the enclosure 11 are integrated, which can reduce waste and secondary processing, and is conducive to cost saving.
[0049] In other embodiments, the bent portion 13 bends toward the heat insulating member 2 , so that the bent portion 13 can prevent the corresponding heat insulating member 2 from moving in a direction away from the combustion chamber frame 1 in the horizontal direction, which is beneficial to improving assembly efficiency.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the enclosure 11 includes a left side plate 112 , a rear side plate 113 and a right side plate 114 connected in sequence, and the bending portion 13 includes a first bending portion 131 and a second bending portion 132 .

[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, the end of the first bending portion 131 is bent downward to form a first folding piece 1311, and / or the end of the second bending portion 132 is bent upward to form a second folding piece 1321. The first folding piece 1311 and the second folding piece 1321 are both configured to prevent the thermal insulation component 2 from moving toward the direction away from the inner wall surface of the accommodating cavity.
[0057] Specifically, by forming a first folding piece 1311 at the end of the first bending portion 131 and a second folding piece 1321 at the end of the second bending portion 132, the first folding piece 1311 and the second folding piece 1321 are used to prevent the thermal insulation component 2 from moving away from the inner wall surface of the accommodating cavity, thereby improving the installation stability of the thermal insulation component 2.

[0060] The third bending portion 133 is provided on the rear side plate 113 at a position corresponding to the bottom end of the heat insulating member 2 , and is configured to limit the downward movement of the heat insulating member 2 .
[0061] Specifically, by providing the third bending portion 133 on the rear side plate 113 , the third bending portion 133 can provide better support for the thermal insulation member 2 , thereby improving the stability of the installation of the thermal insulation member 2 .
[0062] At the same time, the third bent portion 133 can cooperate with the first bent portion 131 and the second bent portion 132 to support the thermal insulation component 2 as a whole, thereby sharing part of the weight of the thermal insulation component 2.
[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, a third folding piece 1331 is formed upward at the end of the third bent portion 133 , and the third folding piece 1331 is configured to prevent the thermal insulation component 2 from moving toward the accommodating cavity.
[0064] Specifically, by forming a third folded piece 1331 at the end of the third bent portion 133 , the third folded piece 1331 can prevent the thermal insulation component 2 from moving toward the accommodating cavity, which is beneficial to improving the installation stability of the thermal insulation component 2 .

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, the thermal insulation member 2 includes a front thermal insulation plate 21, a rear thermal insulation plate 22, a left thermal insulation plate 23 and a right thermal insulation plate 24. The front thermal insulation plate 21, the rear thermal insulation plate 22, the left thermal insulation plate 23 and the right thermal insulation plate 24 correspond to the front cover plate 12, the rear side plate 113, the left side plate 112 and the right side plate 114 respectively. The front thermal insulation plate 21, the rear thermal insulation plate 22, the left thermal insulation plate 23 and the right thermal insulation plate 24 are detachably connected.
[0067] Specifically, by detachably connecting the front heat insulation board 21 , the rear heat insulation board 22 , the left heat insulation board 23 and the right heat insulation board 24 , modular installation of the heat insulation component 2 is facilitated.
[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 7 One of the front heat insulation board 21 and the left heat insulation board 23, the front heat insulation board 21 and the right heat insulation board 24, the rear heat insulation board 22 and the left heat insulation board 23, and the rear heat insulation board 22 and the right heat insulation board 24 is formed with a slot portion 25, and the other is formed with a plug-in portion 26.

[0107] In order to improve the close fit between the connecting plate 3122 and the right support plate 1113, the right support plate 1113 has an upwardly convex arc structure along the width direction. In this way, after the connecting plate 3122 and the right support plate 1113 are installed together, the arc structure undergoes elastic deformation, so that the first folded portion 111 is tightly fitted with the burner front frame 31, thereby improving the sealing effect.
[0108] In some embodiments of the present application, the middle plate 322 is formed with a second ear plate at the end facing the rear side plate 113, and the second ear plate extends in a direction away from the second side plate 313.
