[0015] In order to deepen the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings. The embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention.
[0016] See attached Figure 1-3 The present application provides a rear shell plate of a gas water heater, wherein an air inlet grille 2 is provided on the back of the rear shell plate 1, and the air inlet grille is used to input fresh air from the outside. A cover body 3 is provided on the back of the rear shell plate 1 to cover the air inlet grille, and the cover body 3 and the back of the rear shell plate 1 form an air inlet duct 4, and the bottom of the cover body 3 is an open structure and forms an air inlet of the air inlet duct 4. An air guide plate 5 and an air induction plate 6 are provided on the inner side of the cover body 3 on the path of the air inlet duct, and the air guide plate 5 and the air induction plate 6 are arranged at intervals in front and behind, and the air guide plate 5 is inclined and has an air outlet 51 at its bottom. The air outlet corresponds to the bottom of the air induction plate, and an arc-shaped air induction surface 61 is provided between the bottom and the top of the air induction plate 6. An air gap 7 is provided between the top of the air induction plate 6 and the back of the rear shell plate 1. The outside air enters the air inlet duct 4 from the air inlet, and first passes through the air outlet 51 at the bottom of the air guide plate 5, and then passes through the air gap guided by the air induction plate, and finally enters the interior of the rear shell plate from the air inlet grille. The air guide plate and the air induction plate can guide the air to enter, and at the same time can block and weaken the noise propagation from the air inlet grille, thereby achieving the noise reduction effect.
[0017] The wind guide plate 5 and the air induction plate 6 are arranged near the air inlet. The wind guide plate 5 is inclined from the inside to the outside, and the inclination angle is 30 degrees to 45 degrees, preferably 35 degrees and 45 degrees. At this inclination angle, it can well block and reduce sound propagation, and can also play a better wind guiding role.
[0018] The bottom of the air guide plate 5 and the bottom of the air induction plate 6 are both fixed to the inner side of the cover body 3 by welding. The welded air guide plate and air induction plate have a stable structure and are not easy to loosen.
[0019] The air inlet grille is composed of a plurality of ventilation holes 8, and an air guide eave 9 is provided along the upper edge to the lower edge of the ventilation hole 8. The air guide eave is a downward opening structure, which can guide the air entering the rear shell plate and at the same time block the internal noise from being transmitted outward, thereby further reducing the noise.
[0020] The left and right sides and the top side of the cover body 3 are provided with installation flat edges 31 that fit with the rear shell plate 1. The back of the rear shell plate 1 is provided with installation slots 10 for the installation flat edges on the left and right sides of the cover body to be plugged in. The bottom of the installation slots 10 is a closed structure. The cover body is installed by plugging, which has the advantages of easy installation and disassembly. At the same time, the user can pull out the cover body upward without disassembling the gas water heater to clean the dust inside the cover body, and it is convenient for the early installation of the cover body and the later maintenance and replacement of the cover body. The installation flat edge 31 is formed by bending the outer edge of the cover body 3, specifically by punching and forming it in one piece by a punching machine, or by bending and forming it by a bending machine in the later stage.
[0021] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. Any equivalent modifications or changes made by ordinary technicians in this field based on the contents disclosed in the present invention should be included in the protection scope recorded in the claims.
