Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular relates to a coil and display component avoidance structure and a gas water heater. Background Art

[0002] A gas water heater, also known as a gas water boiler, is a gas appliance that uses gas as fuel and transfers heat to cold water flowing through a heat exchanger through combustion heating to achieve the purpose of preparing hot water.

[0003] After sufficient market research, it was found that the effect of large-screen display meets the user characteristics of e-commerce consumers. Therefore, a display control screen on the face shell has become the mainstream configuration of gas water heaters. However, the display control screen is usually installed on the mounting hole of the face shell, and part of it is located inside the face shell of the gas water heater, which can easily cause interference with the components inside the gas water heater, especially relatively fragile components such as coils, which can easily collide with the display control screen and cause deformation or damage. If the interference is more prominent, the gas water heater will fail to pass the drop test, making the product substandard and hindering the smooth flow of this type of gas water heater to the market. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application further improves the internal connection structure with the display control screen, so as to avoid the interference between the display control screen and the relatively fragile internal parts of the gas water heater as much as possible, so that the gas water heater can pass the drop test. One of the purposes of the utility model is to provide a coil and display component avoidance structure, and the second purpose is to provide a corresponding gas water heater.

[0005] The specific technical solutions are described below:

[0006] The avoidance structure of the coil and the display assembly is arranged in the gas water heater, and includes:

[0007] A display assembly connected to the face shell, wherein the display assembly includes a keypad mounted on one side of the keypad back panel;

[0008] The functional components in the gas water heater are arranged on the other side of the back plate of the keypad, and the functional components include a coil;

[0009] At least part of the tube body of the coil is located opposite to the outer edge area of ​​the keypad back plate, and a coil avoidance portion is provided on the keypad back plate opposite to at least part of the tube body, and a coil avoidance gap is formed between the coil avoidance portion and the coil, and the minimum width of the coil avoidance gap is greater than 5 mm.

[0010] The above technical solution prevents rigid contact with the coil by changing the structure of the back panel of the keypad to form a coil avoidance gap, thereby avoiding deformation and damage of the coil during transportation (shaking) and falling environments, and enables the gas water heater with a display control screen to pass the drop test and flow smoothly to the market.

[0011] The back plate of the keypad is elastically connected to the keypad through a plurality of limit posts and elastic members sleeved on the limit posts; the coil avoidance portion, in addition to being able to avoid the coil, also needs to avoid interfering with the connection structure of the back plate of the keypad itself. Therefore, preferably, the coil avoidance portion is provided with a limit post avoidance slope, the limit post avoidance slope is located on the side where the back plate of the keypad is connected to the keypad, and the limit post avoidance slope avoids the nearest limit post by tilting. Further preferably, the limit post avoidance slope is inclined toward the bottom direction of the limit post to form a space to prevent the coil avoidance portion from interfering with the limit post and the elastic member, thereby preventing interference from affecting the operation of the keypad.

[0012] Preferably, a coil avoidance slope is provided on the other side opposite to the limit column avoidance slope, and the coil avoidance slope is inclined in the direction toward the outer edge of the back plate of the keypad, and the inclined direction is away from the coil, so as to form a space that meets the coil avoidance clearance requirement. Further preferably, the limit column avoidance slope and the coil avoidance slope have the same inclination direction. With such an arrangement, the limit column avoidance slope and the coil avoidance slope can exist as two sides of a plate. This structure is easy to form, only one plate is required, no additional processing is required, and it is the most compact and space-saving structure that can avoid the limit column and the coil at the same time.

[0013] Preferably, at least part of the tube body is located opposite to the upper edge area of ​​the keypad back panel, and correspondingly, the coil avoidance portion is opened in the upper edge area of ​​the keypad back panel. For the convenience of operation and beautiful appearance, the control display screen is usually located in the lower middle part or lower area of ​​the face shell, while the position of the coil does not need to be so low. Therefore, the upper edge area of ​​the keypad back panel is opposite to the corresponding position of the coil, which can meet the requirement of the control display screen being in a lower position, while the position of the coil does not need to be so low.

[0014] Preferably, the keypad back panel is directly and snugly connected to the face shell to save space as much as possible.

[0015] Preferably, the coil is a copper pipe. As a common material for coils, copper pipes are relatively soft and thus more easily deformed and damaged. In particular, a coil avoidance portion needs to be provided to form a coil avoidance gap to protect it.

[0016] Preferably, a component avoidance gap is provided between the keypad back plate and the functional component, and the minimum width of the component avoidance gap is greater than 5 mm, so as to protect the functional component from being damaged during transportation or falling.

[0017] A gas water heater is provided with the avoidance structure described in any of the above technical solutions inside.

[0018] In summary, the technical solution described in the utility model has the following main beneficial effects:

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the utility model can prevent the coil from being deformed and damaged during transportation and falling environments, and enables the gas water heater with a display control screen to pass the drop test and flow smoothly to the market.

[0020] At the same time, interference with the connection structure of the keypad back panel itself is avoided, so that the operation of the keypad is not affected.

[0021] Further or more detailed beneficial effects will be described in detail in conjunction with specific examples in the specific implementation manner. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] The present invention is further explained with reference to the following embodiments:

[0033] The core technical problem faced by the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application comes from the inventor's accurate understanding of the prior art. Therefore, how to avoid deformation and damage of the internal components of the gas water heater during transportation and falling environments, making it difficult for the gas water heater with a display control screen to pass the drop test, is a technical problem that the inventor urgently needs to solve.

[0034] At the same time, how to avoid the interference between the avoidance structure and the connection structure of the keypad back panel itself, which would affect the control of the keypad, is also a technical problem that the inventors are trying to solve simultaneously.

[0035] It should be noted that the embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the claims of the utility model. According to the technical concepts provided / proven by the embodiments, all technical solutions that can be reasonably anticipated by technical personnel in the relevant technical field should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the utility model.

[0036] The embodiments are described in detail as follows:

[0037] Example:

[0038] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 5 The avoidance structure of the coil and the display assembly is arranged in the gas water heater to prevent the display assembly from interfering with the internal parts of the gas water heater, especially the coil.

[0039] The avoidance structure includes a display component and a functional component g in the gas water heater, wherein:

[0040] The display component is connected to the face shell d, and the display component is connected to the key board c through one side of the key board back plate b, and the other side of the key board back plate b faces the above-mentioned functional component g;

[0041] The functional component g includes a coil g-1. In this embodiment, the coil g-1 is a copper tube. Part of the tube body of the coil g-1 is located opposite to the outer edge area of ​​the key board back plate b. In this embodiment, part of the tube body is opposite to the upper edge area of ​​the key board back plate b. The key board back plate b is provided with a coil avoidance portion b-1 in the upper edge area. The coil avoidance portion b-1 is a concave platform that is concave in the protruding direction of the coil g-1. A coil avoidance gap h is formed between the concave platform and the above-mentioned part of the tube body of the coil g-1. See the attached Figure 1 , the minimum width N of the coil avoidance gap h is greater than 5mm.

[0042] The technical solution corresponding to the present embodiment prevents rigid contact with the coil g-1 by changing the structure of the keypad back panel b to form a coil avoidance gap h, thereby avoiding the vibration of the coil g-1 during transportation, as well as deformation and damage caused by the impact of falling, and enables the gas water heater with a display control screen to pass the drop test and flow smoothly to the market.

[0043] In this embodiment, as a common material of the coil g-1, the copper tube is relatively soft and thus more easily deformed and damaged. In particular, it is necessary to provide the coil avoidance portion b-1 to form the coil avoidance gap h to protect it;

[0044] For the convenience of operation and aesthetic appearance, the display component is usually located in the lower middle part or lower area of ​​the surface shell d, while the position of the coil g-1 does not need to be so low. Therefore, in this embodiment, the upper edge area of ​​the keypad back panel b is opposite to the corresponding position of the coil g-1, which can satisfy the requirement that the display component is in a relatively low position, while making the position of the coil g-1 not so low.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, refer to the attached Figure 3-4 The keypad back plate b is elastically connected to the keypad c through three limiting columns b-2 and an elastic member sleeved on the limiting columns b-2. The elastic member is specifically a spring. In addition to the elastic connection, the present embodiment also limits the keypad c to be connected to the keypad back plate b by a snap connection assembly, and the spring cooperates with the limiting columns b-2 to provide a buffering effect and a degree of freedom of movement when the keypad c is subjected to an external control force. When the keypad c compresses the spring to move and then moves back under the rebound effect of the spring, the snap connection assembly limits the return position of the keypad c to the initial installation position, so as to avoid rigid contact between the external control force and the keypad c, and between the keypad c and the keypad back plate b, thereby preventing damage to the control interface of the keypad c, and enhancing the stability of the connection structure between the keypad c and the keypad back plate b.

[0046] It can be seen that in addition to being able to avoid the coil g-1, the coil avoidance portion b-1 also needs to avoid interfering with the above-mentioned limit column b-2. Therefore, the coil avoidance portion b-1 in this embodiment is provided with a limit column avoidance slope b-1.1. The limit column avoidance slope b-1.1 is located on the side where the key panel back panel b is connected to the key panel c. The limit column avoidance slope b-1.1 avoids the nearest limit column b-2 by tilting. The limit column b-2 is the topmost limit column b-2 in this embodiment. At the same time, the limit column avoidance slope b-1.1 is tilted toward the bottom direction of the limit column b-2 to form a space to prevent the coil avoidance portion b-1 from interfering with the limit column b-2 and the spring, thereby preventing interference from affecting the control of the key panel c.

[0047] In a further preferred embodiment, a coil avoidance slope b-1.2 is provided on the other side of the limit column avoidance slope b-1.1, and the coil avoidance slope b-1.2 is inclined in a direction toward the outer edge of the keypad back plate b, and the inclined direction is away from the above-mentioned coil g-1 part tube body, so as to form a space that meets the coil avoidance gap h requirement;

[0048] Further preferably, the inclination directions of the limit column avoidance slope b-1.1 and the coil avoidance slope b-1.2 are consistent, so that the limit column avoidance slope b-1.1 and the coil avoidance slope b-1.2 can exist as two sides of a plate. The purpose of such a setting is that only one plate is needed to form these two avoidance slopes. This structure is easy to form without the need for additional processing, and is the most compact and space-saving structure that can avoid the limit column b-2 and the coil g-1 at the same time.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, refer to the attached Figures 1-2 The keypad back panel b is directly and closely connected to the cover d to save space as much as possible. In this embodiment, a component avoidance gap i is also provided between the keypad back panel b and the functional components. Figure 1 The minimum width M of the component avoidance gap i is greater than 5mm and less than 10mm to protect the functional component g from being damaged during transportation or falling.

[0050] The embodiment further provides a gas water heater, wherein the gas water heater is internally provided with the avoidance structure mentioned in any of the above technical embodiments.
