[0058] The present invention will be described more clearly and completely below by way of embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the following embodiments.

[0059] Please combine Figures 2 to 6For understanding, an embodiment of the utility model provides an air collecting hood, which includes a shell 1, an air inlet 11 is provided on the shell 1, and a rectifier plate 2 and an adjustment plate 3 are arranged in a superimposed manner at the air inlet 11, and the orthographic projection of the adjustment plate 3 on the rectifier plate 2 is located on the inner side of the rectifier plate 2, a first through hole 21 is provided on the rectifier plate 2, and a second through hole 31 is provided on the adjustment plate 3, and the overlapping part of the first through hole 21 and the second through hole 31 forms a first air inlet channel 4, wherein the first through hole 21 and the adjustment plate 3 are configured to be movable relative to the rectifier plate 2 to adjust the opening of the first air inlet channel 4. The combustion area is arranged opposite to the air inlet 11. The adjustment plate 3 is moved to the area where the flow through the air inlet 11 is too high according to the load demand. The overlapping part between the first through hole 21 and the second through hole 31 is adjusted through the relative movement between the adjustment plate 3 and the rectifier plate 2, and the opening of the first air inlet channel 4 is reduced to reduce the flow through the area where the flow is too high, thereby improving the uniformity of the flow through the air inlet 11, thereby improving the stability of the combustion of the gas water heater and making the gas water heater burn more fully.

[0060] In addition, the first through hole 21 provided in the portion of the rectifying plate 2 that does not overlap with the regulating plate 3 serves as the second air inlet channel 5 (see Figure 3 ).

[0061] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the air collecting hood includes a driving assembly 6, which includes a lead screw 61 and a driving member 62. The lead screw 61 extends along a first direction, and a sliding portion 33 threadedly matched with the lead screw 61 is provided on the adjustment plate 3. The driving member 62 is used to drive the lead screw 61 to rotate so as to drive the sliding portion 33 to move along the first direction. Figure 2 It is understood that the length direction of the housing 1 is set to the first direction. The driving member 62 drives the lead screw 61 to rotate, driving the sliding portion 33 threadedly connected to the lead screw 61 to move along the first direction, so as to realize the movement of the adjustment plate 3 along the first direction. The lead screw 61 is driven to rotate by the driving member 62 to realize the movement of the adjustment plate 3 relative to the rectifier plate 2 along the first direction. The structure is simple and the rationality of the spatial layout is improved; and the driving by the driving member 62 can reduce manpower and facilitate operation. Among them, the driving member 62 is preferably a stepping motor. Of course, in other examples, as an alternative means, the driving member 62 can output the movement along the first direction through other linear motion mechanisms, such as linear motion mechanisms based on cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, electric cylinders or cam mechanisms.

[0062] In other embodiments, the driving assembly 6 includes a telescopic mechanism, and the sliding portion 33 is driven to move along the first direction through the telescopic movement of the telescopic mechanism.

[0063] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 , 4As shown in FIG. 6 , the adjustment plate 3 includes an adjustment plate body 32 and a sliding portion 33, and the sliding portion 33 is connected to the side of the adjustment plate body 32. The sliding portion 33 is located at the side of the adjustment plate body 32, does not occupy the upper and lower space of the adjustment plate body 32, and is conducive to improving space rationality.

[0064] In this embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, along the first direction, the sliding part 33 is located in the middle of the adjusting plate body 32. When the lead screw 61 drives the sliding part 33 to move, since the sliding part 33 is located in the middle of the adjusting plate body 32, the adjusting plate 3 is evenly stressed, which facilitates the lead screw 61 to pull the adjusting plate 3 to move.

[0065] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the inner peripheral wall of the sliding part 33 is provided with a thread matching with the lead screw 61, and the sliding part 33 is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the lead screw 61. The lead screw 61 is installed on the inner peripheral side of the sliding part 33 to prevent the lead screw 61 from being separated from the sliding part 33 during the process of the driving member 62 driving the lead screw 61 to rotate relative to the sliding part 33, and the reliability is high.

[0066] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the housing 1 is provided with extension plates 12 at both ends along the first direction, and the two ends of the lead screw 61 are respectively arranged through the extension plates 12. The two ends of the lead screw 61 are respectively placed on the extension plates 12, which greatly improves the stability of the lead screw 61 during the rotation process. Specifically, through holes are opened on the two extension plates 12, the first end of the lead screw 61 passes through one of the through holes, and the other end of the lead screw 61 passes through the other through hole to install the driving member 62.

[0067] In this embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, two opposite sides of the housing 1 are provided with slots 13 extending in a first direction, and two ends of the adjustment plate 3 extend out of the slots 13 respectively. The adjustment plate 3 is placed in the slots 13 to prevent the adjustment plate 3 from being separated from the housing 1 during the movement. In addition, by providing the slots 13, a guide is provided for the movement of the adjustment plate 3. Specifically, the sliding portion 33 of the adjustment plate 3 extends out of the slots 13 to be threadedly connected with the lead screw 61.

[0068] Specifically, the outer peripheral side of the rectifying plate 2 is connected to the inner peripheral side of the air inlet 11. The slot 13 is located on the side wall of the housing 1 below the rectifying plate 2, and the regulating plate 3 is overlapped and arranged below the rectifying plate 2.

[0069] In this embodiment, there are two drive assemblies 6, and the two drive assemblies 6 are respectively located on both sides of the adjustment plate 3. The two drive assemblies 6 jointly drive the adjustment plate 3 to move, thereby reducing the possibility of blockage of the adjustment plate 3 during the movement process, and also avoiding the situation where one set of drive assemblies 6 cannot drive the adjustment plate 3 to move due to a malfunction.

[0070] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the shell 1 includes a first side surface 14 and a second side surface 15, the plane where the first side surface 14 is located is perpendicular to the plane where the second side surface 15 is located, and the plane where the first side surface 14 is located is located in the middle of the second side surface 15; an air inlet 11 is opened on the first side surface 14, and an air outlet 151 connected to the air inlet 11 is opened on the second side surface 15, and the axial direction of the air outlet 151 is parallel to the first direction.

[0071] Specifically, the cross section of the housing 1 is "L"-shaped, and includes an "L"-shaped main body 16 and a cover body 17. The cover body 17 covers the main body 16. The cover body 17 includes a first connecting plate 172 and a second connecting plate 173 connected to each other. The first connecting plate 172 and the second connecting plate 173 are arranged at a 90-degree angle. The lower end surface of the main body 16 is set as the first side surface 14. Along the first direction, the plane where the second side surface 15 is located is located in the middle of the first side surface 14. A third through hole 161 is opened on a surface of the main body 16 that is perpendicular to the first side surface 14, and a fourth through hole 171 is opened on the second connecting plate 173 and is arranged opposite to the third through hole 161. The overlapping part of the third through hole 161 and the fourth through hole 171 serves as the air outlet 151. The rectifier plate 2 is mounted on the lower end surface of the main body 16 . Slots 13 are formed on both sides of the main body 16 below the rectifier plate 2 . Both ends of the adjustment plate 3 extend out of the slots 13 to be mounted on the main body 16 .

[0072] When implementing it, please combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is understood that since the gas passing through the left half of the air inlet 11 of the air hood can flow directly to the third through hole 161 above, and the gas passing through the right half of the air inlet 11 of the air hood is blocked by the first connecting plate 172 during the upward flow, the airflow needs to turn left to flow to the third through hole 161, so that the gas is easily accumulated in the right half of the air inlet 11, so that the flow through the left half of the air inlet 11 is relatively large, and therefore, the left half of the air inlet 11 is used as an area with excessive flow. The driving member 62 drives the lead screw 61 to rotate, so that the adjustment plate 3 moves along the first direction, so that the adjustment plate 3 moves to the area with excessive flow, and adjusts the overlapped part between the first through hole 21 and the second through hole 31 to reduce the opening of the first air inlet channel 4, thereby reducing the flow through the area with excessive flow, so that the flow through the entire air inlet 11 becomes uniform.

[0073] The embodiment of the utility model further provides a gas water heater, which includes the gas collecting hood as described in the above embodiment.

[0074] Although the specific implementations of the utility model are described above, those skilled in the art should understand that this is only an example, and the protection scope of the utility model is defined by the attached claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these implementations without departing from the principle and essence of the utility model, but these changes and modifications fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
