[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0034] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to realize the different structures of the embodiments of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the embodiments of the present application, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the embodiments of the present application. In addition, the embodiments of the present application can repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.
[0035] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used herein to describe the relative positional relationship or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the figure, such as "inside", "outside", "inner side", "outer side", "below", "below", "above", "above", "front", "back", etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a position flip or a posture change or a motion state change, then these directional indications also change accordingly, for example: an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented as "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features". Therefore, the example term "below..." may include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions) and the spatial relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.
[0036] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present application provides a water tank device and a water heater, which can effectively prevent the tank body from being deformed due to shear force, thereby ensuring the service life of the water heater.
[0037] like Figure 1-10 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a water tank device, including: a tank body 1; a support assembly 2, fixedly arranged on the wall a, the support assembly 2 is used to support the bottom of the tank body 1; and a limit assembly 3, fixedly arranged on the wall a, the limit assembly 3 is connected to one side of the tank body 1, and is used to limit the tank body 1 in a direction perpendicular to the wall a.
[0038] In the present application, the bottom of the box body 1 is supported by the support assembly 2. The support assembly 2 serves as the main load-bearing component and supports the box body 1 from the bottom, which can effectively prevent the side walls of the box body 1 from being deformed by force and ensure the service life of the water heater. The limiting assembly 3 limits the side walls of the box body 1 to prevent the box body 1 from tipping over in a direction away from the wall a, thereby further ensuring the fixing effect of the box body 1.
[0039] In the related art, the existing water heater box 1 is generally fixed on the wall a by hanging. The interior of the box 1 is filled with water and has a large mass, which causes the side wall of the box 1 to bear a large shear force, which can easily cause the side wall of the box 1 to deform, causing the box 1 to break or even fall, affecting the service life of the water heater and posing certain safety hazards.
[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the box body 1 is lifted from the bottom of the box body 1 by the support component 2, so that the side walls of the box body 1 are not affected by the shear force, thereby making the side walls of the box body 1 less likely to deform, and then the box body 1 is limited in a direction perpendicular to the box body 1 by the limit component 3, thereby preventing the box body 1 from tipping away from the wall a, further ensuring the fixing effect of the box body 1, increasing the service life of the water heater, and improving the safety of the water heater.
[0041] In some embodiments, the limiting assembly 3 includes: a first bracket 31 for fixing on the wall a; and a second bracket 32 disposed on the side wall of the box body 1 , and the second bracket 32 is clamped with the first bracket 31 .
[0042] In the present application, the first bracket 31 and the second bracket 32 are connected by a snap-fit method, which facilitates the connection of the first bracket 31 and the second bracket 32. Specifically, the first bracket 31 is connected to the wall a by expansion bolts, and the second bracket 32 and the box body 1 can be fixed by welding or other methods.
[0043] Specifically, the second bracket 32 is disposed at the top position of the side of the box body 1 , which not only frees up enough space for the first bracket 31 and the second bracket 32 to be connected, but also improves the anti-dumping effect of the box body 1 .
[0044] Embodiment 1:
[0045] like Figure 6-7 As shown, in one embodiment, a first anti-retraction hook 311 parallel to the surface of the wall a is provided on the first bracket 31, and a first card slot 321 is provided on the second bracket 32. The first anti-retraction hook 311 can be inserted into the first card slot 321 by moving along the surface of the wall a.
[0046] In the present application, the box 1 first supports the assembly 2 for fixing, and the first anti-retraction hook 311 on the first bracket 31 is moved along the surface of the wall a, so that the first anti-retraction hook 311 can be inserted into the first slot 321 of the second bracket 32, which is easy to operate. After the first bracket 31 and the second bracket 32 are connected, the first bracket 31 is fixed to the wall a by expansion bolts, which can prevent the first anti-retraction hook 311 from being separated from the first slot 321, thereby ensuring the connection effect between the first bracket 31 and the second bracket 32.
[0047] Furthermore, a first limiting block 312 is provided on the first bracket 31 , and a first limiting portion 322 is provided on the second bracket 32 . The first limiting block 312 can cooperate with the first limiting portion 322 to keep the first anti-retraction hook 311 and the first slot 321 engaged.
[0048] In the present application, by cooperating with the first limiting block 312 on the first limiting portion 322 , the first bracket 31 can be limited after the first anti-retraction hook 311 of the first bracket 31 is inserted into the first slot 321 , thereby further ensuring the clamping effect between the first bracket 31 and the second bracket 32 .
[0049] Specifically, the first card slot 321 is arranged on the horizontal plane of the second bracket 32, and the first bracket 31 is also provided with an avoidance portion 316, which avoids the first limiting portion 322 of the second bracket 32, thereby reducing the thickness of the limiting component 3 in the direction perpendicular to the wall a as much as possible, so that the box body 1 can fit the wall a as much as possible and reduce the occupied space.
[0050] Embodiment 2:
[0051] like Figure 8 As shown, in another embodiment, a second anti-retraction hook 313 perpendicular to the surface of the wall a is provided on the first bracket 31, and a second card slot 323 is provided on the second bracket 32. The second anti-retraction hook 313 can be inserted into the second card slot 323 by moving in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the box body 1.
[0052] In the present application, the box 1 is first fixed on the supporting assembly 2, and the second bracket 32 is fixed together with the box 1. The first bracket 31 is moved vertically close to the wall a, and the second anti-retraction hook 313 is inserted into the second slot 323, thereby completing the clamping connection between the first bracket 31 and the second bracket 32, which is convenient for operation. After the second anti-retraction hook 313 is inserted into the second slot 323, the first bracket 31 is fixed to the wall a by expansion bolts, and the second anti-retraction hook 313 is inserted into the second slot 323, so that the first bracket 31 can press the second bracket 32 against the wall a, thereby preventing the first bracket 31 from detaching from the second bracket 32, ensuring the limiting effect on the box 1, and preventing the box 1 from tipping over in the direction away from the wall a.
[0053] Furthermore, a second limiting block 314 is provided on the side of the first bracket 31 facing the wall a, and a second limiting portion 324 is provided on the second bracket 32 . The second limiting portion 324 is located between the two second limiting blocks 314 .
[0054] Specifically, two second limit blocks 314 are arranged opposite to each other. When the second anti-retraction hook 313 is inserted into the second slot 323, the second limit portion 324 is located between the two second limit blocks 314, which can further limit the box body 1 to prevent the box body 1 from tilting left or right.
[0055] Embodiment 3:
[0056] like Figure 9-10 As shown, in another embodiment, a third locking slot 315 is provided on the first bracket 31 , and a third anti-retraction hook 325 for locking into the third locking slot 315 is provided on the second bracket 32 .
[0057] In the present application, the box body 1 is first fixed by the support assembly 2, and the second bracket 32 on the box body 1 is fixed together. The first bracket 31 is moved so that the third anti-retraction hook 325 of the second bracket 32 is inserted into the third slot 315 of the first bracket 31, completing the clamping of the first bracket 31 and the second bracket 32. Then, the first bracket 31 is fixed to the wall a by expansion bolts, completing the anti-dumping design of the box body 1.
[0058] Furthermore, the third clamping slot 315 is disposed on the horizontal plane of the first bracket 31 , and the third anti-retraction hook 325 is clamped into the third clamping slot 315 from above the third clamping slot 315 .
[0059] In the present application, the first bracket 31 is L-shaped. The vertical surface of the first bracket 31 is fitted with the wall a and fixed to the wall a through expansion bolts. The third card slot 315 is set on the horizontal surface of the first bracket 31. The second bracket 32 is an inverted U-shaped structure. The third anti-retraction hook 325 of the second bracket 32 can be inserted into the third card slot 315 from above the horizontal surface of the first bracket 31 to complete the connection between the third anti-retraction hook 325 and the third card slot 315, thereby limiting the box body 1 to prevent the box body 1 from tipping over, and it can also play a double insurance role. When an unexpected situation occurs in the support assembly 2, the second bracket 32 and the box body 1 can also be hung through the first bracket 31.
[0060] Specifically, the first bracket 31 and the second bracket 32 in the present application bear the vertical force of the box body 1 at ordinary times, and only rely on the support assembly 2 to support the box body 1. The first bracket 31 and the second bracket 32 cooperate to limit the box body 1 to prevent the box body 1 from tipping over when it is subjected to external force. However, when some unexpected situations occur, the box body 1 is subjected to a large external force, such as the support assembly 2 is damaged, there are heavy objects on the box body 1, or the box body 1 is pressed down with force, the limit assembly 3 can also play the role of temporarily hanging the box body 1 to ensure that the box body 1 does not fall.
[0061] In some embodiments, the support assembly 2 includes: a third bracket 21 for fixing on the wall a; and a fourth bracket 22 disposed at the bottom of the box 1 , and the fourth bracket 22 is connected to the third bracket 21 via a fastener 23 .
[0062] In the present application, by configuring the support assembly 2 into a separate third bracket 21 and a fourth bracket 22, the third bracket 21 is fixed to the wall a by expansion bolts, the fourth bracket 22 is welded to the box body 1, and the fourth bracket 22 and the third bracket 21 are connected and fixed by fasteners 23, so that the support assembly 2 not only supports the box body 1, but also fixes the box body 1 in a horizontal plane, further ensuring the fixing effect of the box body 1.
[0063] Specifically, the fastener 23 can be a fastening bolt, and the third bracket 21 adopts an L-shaped structure, including a vertical part 211 connected to the wall a and a horizontal part 212 connected to the vertical part 211. The horizontal part 212 is used to connect the fourth bracket 22. A reinforcing rib plate 213 is also arranged between the vertical part 211 and the horizontal part 212 to ensure the strength of the third bracket 21.
[0064] The third bracket 21 and the fourth bracket 22 are arranged in pairs, and the number of the third bracket 21 and the fourth bracket 22 can be selected according to the size of the box 1. In the present application, two third brackets 21 and four brackets 22 are respectively arranged to ensure the stability of the support of the box 1.
[0065] like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a water heater, including the aforementioned water tank device.
[0066] In the present application, the water heater also includes a heater, a heat exchange tube, a thermometer, etc. arranged in the box.
