Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular relates to an installation structure of a control panel component 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] In order to facilitate operation and meet the user's personalized needs for the control panel, the existing gas water heater will add a control component to the shell assembly, and the control component and the shell assembly are connected by screw locking. The screw locking method will cause the locking part of the panel to be subjected to a tensile force, and the tensile force will cause the corresponding area of ​​the panel to be depressed, causing the control panel assembly to be deformed after being locked with the shell assembly, affecting the customer's user experience, and the screw locking connection method will occupy more internal space of the control component, which is not conducive to further expansion of the display area. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application further improves the installation structure of the existing control panel assembly, in order to overcome the defect that the control panel is prone to deformation and further free up space inside the control panel assembly.

[0008] The control panel and the key back plate are clamped to each other to form the control assembly, and the control assembly is clamped to the housing assembly.

[0009] In the above technical solution, the control assembly is formed by a snap-fit ​​connection, and the control assembly is connected to the shell assembly of the water heater by a snap-fit ​​connection, which can prevent the screw locking from forming tension, thereby avoiding deformation of the control panel. At the same time, the snap-fit ​​structure often occupies a smaller space, which can free up space inside the control assembly. Moreover, the snap-fit ​​structure is more convenient to operate than screw locking.

[0010] Preferably, the shell assembly is provided with a card hole, and the control assembly is carded into the card hole. In actual operation, it is usually necessary to provide a structure for installing the control assembly on the shell assembly. For the card-connecting connection method, the structure is usually a card hole.

[0012] Further preferably, the first clamping part is composed of three groups of first clamping structures, which are arranged at intervals and evenly at the connection between the control panel and the key back plate, and each group of the first clamping structures is composed of a first buckle and a first bayonet. The first buckle is arranged at the periphery of the key back plate, and correspondingly, the first bayonet is arranged at the periphery of the control panel. During the installation operation, the first buckle can be clamped to the corresponding first bayonet by operating the key back plate.

[0013] Preferably, the control assembly and the clamping hole are clamped to each other via a second clamping portion, and the second clamping portion includes at least two groups of second clamping structures, and the at least two groups of second clamping structures are spaced apart and arranged at the connection between the control assembly and the clamping hole.

[0014] Further preferably, the second clamping portion is composed of three groups of second clamping structures, which are arranged at intervals and evenly at the connection between the control component and the clamping hole, and each group of the second clamping structures is composed of a second buckle and a second bayonet. The second buckle is arranged at the periphery of the key back plate, and correspondingly, the second bayonet is arranged on the inner wall of the clamping hole. During the installation operation, the second buckle can be clamped to the corresponding second bayonet by operating the key back plate.

[0015] Further preferably, the first buckle and the second buckle are both arranged at the outer periphery of the key back plate, so that during installation, the snap connection can be achieved by only operating the key back plate.

[0016] Preferably, the key panel is fixedly connected to the key back panel, and during installation, the keys of the fixed key panel are correspondingly installed on the control panel.

[0017] A gas water heater comprises a shell component and a control component, wherein the mounting structure of the control component as described in any of the above technical solutions is mounted on the shell component.

[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 avoid deformation of the control panel and release space inside the control component.

[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 overcome the defect that the control panel is prone to deformation is a technical problem that the inventor urgently needs to solve.

[0034] At the same time, freeing up space inside the control component and making installation operations more convenient are also technical problems 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] A gas water heater has a shell component 1 on which a control component 2 is installed to display parameter information and perform corresponding operations. In the prior art, the control component 2 and the shell component 1 are connected by screw locking, which will cause depressions in the corresponding area of ​​the panel, resulting in deformation and affecting the customer's experience. In addition, the screw locking connection will occupy more internal space of the control component, which is not conducive to further expansion of the display area.

[0039] In order to solve the above technical problems, the inventor designed a mounting structure of a control panel assembly.

[0040] Specifically, the control component 2 includes a control panel 2-1, a key back panel 2-2, and a key panel 2-3 arranged therebetween. The control panel 2-1 and the key back panel 2-2 are snap-connected to each other, and the key panel 2-3 is accommodated therein to form the control component 2. Then, the control component 2 is snap-connected to the snap hole 1-1 of the shell component 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, the control panel 2-1 and the case back plate 2-2 are mutually clamped by the first clamping part a, and the first clamping part a is composed of three groups of first clamping structures, and the three groups of first clamping structures are spaced and evenly arranged at the connection between the control panel 2-1 and the key back plate 2-2, and each group of first clamping structures is composed of a first buckle a-1 and a first bayonet a-2 that match each other, and the first buckle a-1 is arranged at the outer peripheral edge of the key back plate 2-2, and correspondingly, the first bayonet a-2 is arranged at the outer peripheral edge of the control panel 2-1;

[0042] The control component 2 and the card hole 1-1 are mutually clamped via the second clamping portion b, and the second clamping portion b is also composed of three groups of second clamping structures. The three groups of second clamping structures are spaced and evenly arranged at the connection between the control component 2 and the card hole 1-1, and each group of second clamping structures is composed of a second buckle b-1 and a second bayonet b-2 that match each other. The second buckle b-1 is arranged at the outer peripheral edge of the key back panel 2-2, and correspondingly, the second bayonet b-2 is opened on the inner wall of the card hole 1-1.

[0043] The technical solution described in this embodiment forms the control component 2 by snap-fitting, and connects the control component 2 to the shell component 1 of the water heater by snap-fitting, thereby avoiding the tension formed by the screw locking, and further avoiding the deformation of the control panel 2-1. At the same time, the snap-fitting structure is arranged at the periphery, which occupies a small space and can release the space inside the control component 2 without interfering with the display area. Moreover, the snap-fitting structure is more convenient to operate than the screw locking structure.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first clip a-1 and the second clip b-1 are both arranged at the outer edge of the key back plate 2-2. The first clip a-1 is arranged in the direction of the control panel 2-1, and the second clip b-1 is arranged in the direction of the key back plate 2-2. The first clip a-1 and the second clip b-1 are arranged at the outer edge of the key back plate 2-2 in an interlaced manner. When installing the control component 2, it is only necessary to operate the key back plate 2-2 to achieve the snap connection, and the speed of operation is further improved.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the key plate 2 - 3 is firstly fixed to the key back plate 2 - 2 by screws.

[0046] When installing the control assembly 2 of the gas water heater, firstly fix the key board 2-3 to the key back board 2-2 by screws, then operate the first buckle a-1 on the key back board 2-2 to snap into the first snap hole a-2 on the control panel 2-1, and snap the control panel 2-1 and the key back board 2-2 to form the control assembly 2;

[0047] Then, the second buckle b-1 on the operation button back panel 2-2 is snapped onto the second snap-in b-2 on the inner wall of the snap-in hole 1-1, and the control component 2 and the snap-in hole 1-1 are snapped into place, thereby installing the control component 2 on the housing component 1 of the gas water heater.
