[0044] The technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0045] Referring to Fig. 1 to Fig. 4, the utility model provides a gas water heater, which includes a smoke exhaust connection pipe 200, a shell 100 and a sealing ring 300. The smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 is used to discharge the smoke in the shell 100 out of the gas water heater. The sealing ring 300 is used to seal the connection between the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 and the shell 100 to prevent the water droplets condensed on the outer wall of the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 from flowing back into the shell 100 and damaging the parts in the shell 100. In addition, the sealing of the connection between the shell 100 and the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 by the sealing ring 300 also has the function of noise reduction. The shell 100 has the function of connecting and supporting other parts of the gas water heater, and the shell 100 is a shell-type structure to define the outer contour of the gas water heater. The specific shape of the shell 100 is roughly square, and in other embodiments it can also be cylindrical.

[0046] As shown in Figures 3 to 6, in this embodiment, a convex ring 210 is provided on the circumferential surface of the smoke exhaust connecting pipe 200; the outer shell 100 is provided with a mounting hole for the smoke exhaust connecting pipe 200 to pass through and extend out; the sealing ring 300 is sleeved and fixed on the convex ring 210; the convex ring 210 and the sealing ring 300 are both located on the inner side of the outer shell 100, and the sealing ring 300 is sealed and fitted with the end surface of the convex ring 210 facing the outer shell 100 and the inner wall of the outer shell 100.

[0047] The above-mentioned gas water heater is provided with a mounting hole on the housing 100 so as to allow the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 to pass through, and part of the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 extends to the outside of the housing 100 so as to discharge the smoke out of the housing 100 through the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200. By providing a convex ring 210 on the circumferential surface of the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200, it is convenient to sleeve and fix the sealing ring 300 on the convex ring 210. The gas water heater provided by the present application is sleeved and fixed by the sealing ring 300 and the convex ring 210, so that when the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 is installed on the housing 100, the sealing ring 300 is not easy to bend and detach, thereby avoiding the undesirable phenomenon of the sealing ring 300 being loose; and the sealing ring 300 is sealed and fitted with the end face of the convex ring 210 and the inner wall of the housing 100, while ensuring the sealing effect between the sealing ring 300 and the housing 100, the assembly difficulty and precision requirements of the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 and the sealing ring 300 can be reduced. In addition, the convex ring 210 and the sealing ring 300 are both arranged on the inner side of the housing 100. The sealing ring 300 is hidden inside the housing 100, thereby improving the overall appearance of the whole device.

[0048] Specifically, the mounting hole is provided at the upper end of the housing 100, and the mounting hole can be integrally formed on the housing 100 by stamping. In this embodiment, the side surface corresponding to the periphery of the mounting hole on the housing 100 is a plane, so that after the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 is installed in the mounting hole, the end surface of the sealing ring 300 can fit with the periphery corresponding to the mounting hole on the housing 100, thereby ensuring the sealing performance.

[0049] As shown in Figures 3, 4 and Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 9 , in one embodiment, the sealing ring 300 includes a main body 310 and a peripheral side portion 320 connected to each other. The main body 310 is fixedly connected to the end surface of the convex ring 210 facing the housing 100, and the main body 310 is pressed between the convex ring 210 and the inner wall of the housing 100; the peripheral side portion 320 is sleeved and fixed on the outer peripheral surface of the convex ring 210. In this way, by fixing the main body to the end surface of the convex ring 210 and sleeve-fixing the peripheral side portion 320 of the sealing ring 300 on the outer peripheral surface of the convex ring 210, the contact area between the sealing ring 300 and the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 can be increased to improve the reliability of the fixed connection between the sealing ring 300 and the convex ring 210. The main body 310 is pressed between the convex ring 210 and the inner wall of the housing 100 to ensure the sealing effect.

[0050] In this embodiment, the main body 310 is a flat annular shape, the peripheral side portion 320 is a cylindrical structure, and the peripheral side portion 320 is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the main body 310. Of course, the main body 310 and the peripheral side portion 320 are an integrally formed rubber part. The inner side surface of the peripheral side portion 320 fits the outer peripheral surface of the convex ring 210. In order to improve the reliability of the connection between the peripheral side portion 320 and the outer peripheral surface of the convex ring 210, the peripheral side portion 320 can be tightly matched with the outer peripheral surface of the convex ring 210.

[0051] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, Figure 8 As shown in FIG9 , specifically, a plurality of positioning posts 311 are provided on the side of the main body 310 facing the convex ring 210, and a plurality of positioning holes 211 corresponding to the positioning posts 311 are provided on the convex ring 210, and the positioning posts 311 are embedded in the positioning holes 211. In this way, the positioning posts 311 are embedded in the positioning holes 211, so that the positioning posts 311 are limited by the hole wall of the positioning holes 211, thereby realizing a fixed connection between the main body 310 and the convex ring 210, thereby ensuring that after the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 is installed on the housing 100, the sealing ring 300 will not fall off or loosen.

[0052] The positioning post 311 can be set as a cylindrical structure or a prismatic structure. For example, the cross section of the positioning post 311 can be square, triangular, elliptical, etc. Preferably, the positioning post 311 adopts a cylindrical structure, which has a simple structure, is easy to process, and is easy to install.

[0053] like Figure 8 As shown in FIG9 , in one embodiment, a main body 310 is provided with an avoidance hole 312 for the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 to pass through, and a plurality of positioning posts 311 are arranged around the periphery of the avoidance hole 312. In this way, the avoidance hole 312 is used to avoid the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 when the sealing ring 300 and the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 are installed, so that the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 can pass through; and the positioning posts 311 are arranged around the periphery of the avoidance hole 312 to facilitate the molding of the sealing ring 300. In addition, it is conducive to evenly arranging the positioning posts 311 on the main body 310, thereby ensuring the balance of force on the main body 310, and thus preventing the sealing ring 300 from deflecting.

[0054] In this embodiment, a plurality of positioning posts 311 are arranged around the avoidance hole 312, and the connecting line of the plurality of positioning posts 311 is a concentric circle with the avoidance hole 312. There is no limitation on the number of positioning posts 311, and it can be three, four, etc. In this embodiment, four positioning posts 311 are arranged on the main body 310, and the four positioning posts 311 are evenly arranged on the main body 310.

[0055] As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 , in one embodiment, the convex ring 210 and the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 are an integral structure. Such a configuration is conducive to simplifying the structure. Specifically, the convex ring 210 is an expansion joint. Such a configuration is conducive to processing. By forming the convex ring 210 on the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 by an integral molding method, there is an advantage of reducing the difficulty of the process. Specifically, the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 is expanded and then pierced to form an expansion joint.

[0056] Furthermore, the positioning hole 211 penetrates the side wall of the expansion joint close to the main body 310. Such a configuration is conducive to the formation of the positioning hole 211 and facilitates the embedding of the positioning column 311 on the side wall of the expansion joint, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the sealing ring 300 and the expansion joint.

[0057] Specifically, the expansion joint may be punched to form a positioning hole 211 on the side wall of the expansion joint facing the housing 100. The specific shape of the positioning hole 211 matches the positioning column 311, and the size of the positioning hole 211 should be slightly smaller than the size of the positioning column 311, so that when installing, the positioning column 311 can be inserted into the positioning hole 211 by slightly applying force to the main body 310 of the sealing ring 300, so as to achieve mutual limitation between the positioning column 311 and the positioning hole 211.

[0058] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, in one embodiment, the gas water heater also includes a fan assembly 400, which is disposed in the outer shell 100. The fan assembly 400 includes a fan housing 410, and the fan housing 410 is configured with a smoke collecting pipe 420 that is connected to the inner cavity of the fan housing 410. One end of the smoke exhaust connecting pipe 200 is sleeved on the smoke collecting pipe 420 and fixed to the smoke collecting pipe 420.

[0059] The fan assembly 400 is used to provide the water heater with oxygen required for combustion and exhaust smoke after combustion. The smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 is connected to the smoke collecting pipe 420 on the fan housing 410, so that the smoke accelerated by the fan can be discharged outside the housing 100 through the smoke collecting pipe 420 and the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200. Specifically, the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 is sleeved on the smoke collecting pipe 420 and fixed to the smoke collecting pipe 420 to improve the reliability of the connection between the smoke collecting pipe 420 and the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200.

[0060] The fan assembly 400 includes a fan wheel and a fan housing 410. The fan wheel is driven to rotate by a motor, so that under the joint action of the fan wheel and the fan housing 410, negative pressure is formed at the air inlet to inhale air, thereby providing the required oxygen for the water heater. At the same time, under the rotation of the fan wheel, the smoke after combustion is discharged from the smoke collecting pipe 420. In this embodiment, the diameter of the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 is larger than the outer diameter of the smoke collecting pipe 420, so that the smoke exhaust pipe can just be sleeved on the smoke collecting pipe 420.

[0061] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 , in one embodiment, a positioning platform 430 is constructed at a position corresponding to the smoke collecting pipe 420 on the fan housing 410; the end surface of the positioning platform 430 is set as a plane, and the end of the smoke exhaust connecting pipe 200 is connected to the end surface of the positioning platform 430. In this way, the end of the smoke exhaust connecting pipe 200 can be limited by the positioning platform 430 on the fan housing 410, thereby improving the consistency of the installation of the smoke exhaust connecting pipe 200 and the fan housing 410, and it is also beneficial to ensure the sealing performance of the sealing ring 300 on the housing 100 when the smoke exhaust connecting pipe 200 is connected to the fan housing 410 and then installed with the housing 100.

[0062] Specifically, the periphery of the position on the fan housing 410 that is connected to the smoke collecting pipe 420 is set as a plane. After the smoke exhaust connecting pipe 200 is put on the smoke collecting pipe 420, the smoke exhaust connecting pipe 200 is pushed until the end face of the smoke exhaust connecting pipe 200 is connected to the plane of the positioning platform 430, indicating that the smoke exhaust connecting pipe 200 is installed in place.

[0063] In one embodiment, the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 is fixed to the fan housing 410 by welding. In this way, the process is simple, the reliability is high, and the airtightness after connection can be guaranteed.

[0064] The gas water heater provided in this embodiment first sleeves the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 onto the smoke collecting pipe 420 of the fan assembly 400, and then pushes the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 until the end face of the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 is in contact with the positioning platform 430 on the fan housing 410, and the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 cannot continue to approach the fan assembly 400. Then the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 and the fan housing 410 are fixedly connected by welding. Next, the sealing ring 300 is sleeved onto the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200, and the positioning column 311 on the sealing ring 300 is inserted into the positioning hole 211 on the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200. At this time, the side surface of the main body 310 fits with the end face of the convex ring 210, and the inner circumference of the peripheral side portion 320 fits with the outer circumference of the convex ring 210, so that the assembly of the sealing ring 300 and the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 is completed. Then the fan assembly 400 with the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 is installed in the housing 100. After installation, the main body 310 of the sealing ring 300 is pressed between the housing and the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200. In this way, it can be ensured that the sealing ring 300 is completely inside the housing, and when there is a deviation between the smoke exhaust connection pipe 200 and the installation hole of the housing, the assembly quality of the sealing ring 300 and the overall appearance of the whole machine can also be guaranteed.

[0065] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0066] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
