Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to an electrical component and a water heater. Background Art

[0002] The water heater is usually equipped with an indicator light to indicate the working status of the water heater, such as to indicate to the user that the water heater is working or heating. The indicator light is usually installed inside the water heater, and a light-transmitting hole is usually reserved on the shell of the water heater. The indicator light emitted by the indicator light can pass through the light-transmitting hole to indicate to the user.

[0003] When the existing water heater is in use, water vapor easily penetrates into the water heater through the gap between the indicator light and the light-transmitting hole. Therefore, the existing water heater is usually provided with a panel sticker, which can cover the light-transmitting hole to achieve the purpose of light transmission and sealing and moisture-proofing. However, when the water heater is in use, the environment is very humid, and the panel sticker is easy to debond and warp, so that water vapor still easily penetrates into the water heater through the gap between the indicator light and the light-transmitting hole, causing damage to the electrical components inside the water heater. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to at least partially solve the problems existing in the prior art, according to one aspect of the utility model, an electrical component is provided. The electrical component includes a panel, a mounting plate and an electrical component. The panel has a light-transmitting hole; the mounting plate has a light-transmitting portion, the light-transmitting portion protrudes from the front of the mounting plate, at least a part of the light-transmitting portion extends into the light-transmitting hole and the light-transmitting portion forms a seal with the edge of the light-transmitting hole, the back of the mounting plate has a first mounting portion, the first mounting portion is used to install an indicator light, and the indicator light is aligned with the light-transmitting portion; the electrical component is fixed to the panel, and the mounting plate is clamped between the electrical component and the panel.

[0005] The electric component provided by the utility model has at least a part of the light-transmitting part extending into the light-transmitting hole, and the light-transmitting part and the edge of the light-transmitting hole can form a seal, which can prevent the penetration of water vapor from the outside of the panel. When the electric device is connected to the panel and the mounting plate is clamped between the electric device and the panel, the influence of external water vapor on the electric device can be avoided, so that the whole component can be more stable and safer when used. Such an electric component does not need to be provided with a panel sticker, so the cost is lower, and the problem of debonding and warping of the panel sticker will not occur, and the service life is longer.

[0006] Exemplarily, the light-transmitting portion and the light-transmitting hole are in interference fit. The light-transmitting portion and the edge of the light-transmitting hole are sealed in the form of interference fit, and the overall structure is simpler, easy to implement, and has a good sealing effect. Moreover, when the electrical device is connected to the panel and the mounting plate is clamped between the electrical device and the panel, the mounting plate is equivalent to being connected to the panel through the interference fit between the light-transmitting portion and the light-transmitting hole, and the overall structure is more stable.

[0007] For example, the outer circumference of the light-transmitting portion is inclined relative to the central axis of the light-transmitting hole, and the inclination direction is toward the outside of the panel and gradually approaches the central axis of the light-transmitting hole. Such an outer circumference of the light-transmitting portion is equivalent to being provided with a draft angle, so that it is easy to produce and process, and it is also easier to implement. Moreover, such an outer circumference of the light-transmitting portion is easier to form an interference fit with the light-transmitting hole, and the installation process of the overall assembly is more labor-saving and convenient.

[0008] For example, at the edge of the light-transmitting hole, the front surface of the mounting plate is attached to the panel to form a seal. The mounting plate can be directly attached to the panel to form a seal, so that the structure of the overall assembly is simple and easy to implement. When the mounting plate is attached to the panel to form a seal, the light-transmitting portion can still be interference-fitted with the light-transmitting hole to achieve a seal, and such an electrical assembly has a better sealing effect.

[0009] For example, the front of the mounting plate is provided with a boss protruding outward, the light-transmitting portion is provided in the central area of ​​the boss, and the edge area of ​​the boss is fitted with the panel to form a seal. It is simpler to form a seal by fitting the edge area of ​​the boss with the panel, the machining accuracy requirements for the mounting plate as a whole are lower, and the production and machining of the overall assembly are more convenient.

[0010] Exemplarily, the first mounting portion includes at least two clamping arms, each clamping arm is provided with an arc-shaped notch, different parts of the indicator light are respectively clamped into the arc-shaped notches of the at least two clamping arms, and the at least two clamping arms are arranged at intervals along a direction parallel to the axis of the indicator light. The at least two clamping arms can form a stable limit fixation for the indicator light in a direction parallel to the axis of the indicator light, and each clamping arm can form a stable limit fixation for the indicator light in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the indicator light, thereby, the indicator light is more stably installed on such a first mounting portion, the indicator light is not easy to fall off, and the structure of the overall assembly is more stable.

[0011] Exemplarily, the back of the mounting plate further has a second mounting portion, and the electrical device is mounted to the second mounting portion. The second mounting portion can facilitate the installation and fixation of the electrical device, so that the overall structure of the electrical assembly is more stable and the use of the electrical device can be more convenient.

[0012] Exemplarily, the second mounting portion includes a plurality of elastic buckles, and the plurality of elastic buckles clamp the electrical device. The provision of the elastic buckles makes the electrical device more stable when mounted on the second mounting portion, and the electrical device is fixed in a limited position by the elastic buckles, which makes the installation of the electrical device more convenient and simple, and the overall structure is also simpler and easier to implement.

[0013] Exemplarily, the second mounting portion includes a plurality of first convex edges and a plurality of second convex edges, the first convex edges extend along a first direction, the second convex edges extend along a second direction different from the first direction, and the plurality of first convex edges and the plurality of second convex edges respectively limit different sides of the electrical device. The plurality of first convex edges all extend along the first direction, so that the plurality of first convex edges can limit the movement of the electrical device in the second direction; the plurality of second convex edges all extend along the second direction, so that the plurality of second convex edges can limit the movement of the electrical device in the first direction, thereby, the plurality of first convex edges cooperate with the plurality of second convex edges, and can further limit and fix the electrical device. Moreover, the plurality of first convex edges and the plurality of second convex edges do not have a separate clamping connection to the electrical device, so it can be simpler to install the electrical device on such a second mounting portion, and the electrical device can be limited by only placing the electrical device in the limiting area surrounded by the plurality of first convex edges and the plurality of second convex edges, and the installation of the overall assembly is also more convenient.

[0014] Exemplarily, the side of the electrical component has a protruding neutral wire connector and a live wire connector, wherein at least one first flange and / or at least one second flange is arranged between the neutral wire connector and the live wire connector. At least one first flange and / or at least one second flange is arranged between the neutral wire connector and the live wire connector, which can avoid a short circuit caused by contact between the neutral wire connector and the live wire connector, and such an electrical component is safer and more stable when used.

[0015] For example, the side of the electrical component has a protruding neutral wire connector and a live wire connector, the mounting plate has a flange protruding from the side of the electrical component, the mounting plate is insulated, and the flange separates the neutral wire connector and the live wire connector from the panel. The flange separates the neutral wire connector and the live wire connector from the panel, which can prevent voltage from being present on the panel and prevent short circuits from occurring, making such electrical components safer and more stable when used.

[0016] According to another aspect of the utility model, a water heater is provided. The water heater comprises a housing and any one of the electrical components described above, the panel of the electrical component is formed on the housing, and the electrical device comprises a thermostat. The water heater comprises any one of the electrical components described above, so the water heater can achieve the corresponding beneficial effects of any one of the electrical components described above, which will not be described in detail here.

[0030] In the following description, a large number of details are provided so that the present invention can be thoroughly understood. However, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the following description only illustrates preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the present invention can be implemented without one or more of such details. In addition, in order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features known in the art are not described in detail.

[0031] According to one aspect of the present invention, an electrical component is provided. The electrical component can be applied to any suitable device, including but not limited to a water heater. Therefore, according to another aspect of the present invention, a water heater is provided. The water heater may include a housing and any electrical component to be described below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The shell 11 of the water heater can be in any suitable form. The electrical assembly can include a panel 100, a mounting plate 200 and an electrical device 400. The panel 100 of the electrical assembly can be formed on the shell 11. The panel 100 can be separately processed from the shell 11 and fixedly connected together by snap-fitting, welding or any other form, or can be formed in an integrated manner. For example, the panel 100 can be a part of the shell 11.

[0032] See also Figure 3 , the panel 100 may have a light-transmitting hole 110. The light-transmitting hole 110 may be designed to any size as needed. The mounting plate 200 may have a light-transmitting portion 210, and the light-transmitting portion 210 may have an outer peripheral surface 211. The light-transmitting portion 210 may protrude from the front of the mounting plate 200, at least a portion of the light-transmitting portion 210 may extend into the light-transmitting hole 110, and the light-transmitting portion 210 and the edge of the light-transmitting hole 110 may form a seal. The front of the mounting plate 200 refers to the side of the mounting plate 200 facing the panel 100, and correspondingly, the back of the mounting plate 200 refers to the side of the mounting plate 200 away from the panel 100. The light-transmitting portion 210 may be in any form that is compatible with the light-transmitting hole 110, so that at least a portion of the light-transmitting portion 210 may extend into the light-transmitting hole 110. The light-transmitting portion 210 and the edge of the light-transmitting hole 110 may be sealed in various forms, such as Figure 3As shown, the light-transmitting portion 210 may be an interference fit with the light-transmitting hole 110, in which case the outer peripheral surface 211 of the light-transmitting portion 210 and the edge of the light-transmitting hole 110 are tightly fitted to achieve sealing; or the area on the mounting plate 200 where the light-transmitting portion 210 is arranged is tightly fitted to the edge of the light-transmitting hole 110 to achieve sealing, which will be described in detail below. The panel 100 may have an inner side and an outer side, the inner side may refer to the side of the panel 100 facing the mounting plate 200, and the outer side may refer to the side of the panel 100 away from the mounting plate 200. After the light-transmitting portion 210 forms a seal with the edge of the light-transmitting hole 110, it can prevent the water vapor on the outside of the panel 100 from penetrating into the light-transmitting hole 110 and affecting the structure on the inside of the panel 100. The back of the mounting plate 200 may have a first mounting portion 220, and the first mounting portion 220 may be used to install the indicator light 300, and the indicator light 300 may be aligned with the light-transmitting portion 210. The first mounting portion 220 may be in any form that is easy to mount the indicator light 300. For example, the first mounting portion 220 may include an indicator light mounting seat that matches the indicator light 300. For example, the mounting plate 200 may be made of a light-transmitting material. The indicator light emitted by the indicator light 300 may sequentially pass through the mounting plate 200, the light-transmitting portion 210, and the light-transmitting hole 110 to prompt the user.

[0033] The electrical assembly may include an electrical device 400, and the electrical device 400 may include a thermostat. The electrical device 400 may be fixed to the panel 100. In one embodiment of the utility model, an adjusting knob 12 may be installed on the panel 100. The adjusting knob 12 may be connected to the panel 100 by passing the panel 100 through a fastener, and the fastener passes through the panel 100 and is connected to the electrical device 400, so that the electrical device 400 may also be connected to the panel 100. The electrical device 400 may be controlled by the adjusting knob 12. For example, an adjusting rod may be provided on the electrical device 400, and the adjusting rod may be connected to the adjusting knob 12. When the electrical device 400 is a thermostat, the adjusting knob 12 may be rotated to control the thermostat, thereby adjusting the temperature. The mounting plate 200 may be clamped between the electrical device 400 and the panel 100. When the electrical device 400 and the panel 100 are connected by fasteners, the mounting plate 200 is clamped between the electrical device 400 and the panel 100, and the electrical device 400, the mounting plate 200 and the panel 100 are actually connected together.

[0034] In the electrical assembly provided by the utility model, at least a part of the light-transmitting portion 210 extends into the light-transmitting hole 110, and the light-transmitting portion 210 and the edge of the light-transmitting hole 110 can form a seal, which can prevent the penetration of water vapor from the outside of the panel 100. When the electrical device 400 is connected to the panel 100 and the mounting plate 200 is clamped between the electrical device 400 and the panel 100, the external water vapor can be prevented from affecting the electrical device 400, so that the overall assembly can be more stable and safer when in use. Such an electrical assembly does not need to be provided with a panel sticker, so the cost is lower, and the problem of the panel sticker debonding and warping will not occur, and the service life is longer.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 3 , the light-transmitting portion 210 can be interference-fitted with the light-transmitting hole 110. The portion of the light-transmitting portion 210 that extends into the light-transmitting hole 110 is interference-fitted with the light-transmitting hole 110, and sealing between the light-transmitting portion 210 and the edge of the light-transmitting hole 110 can be achieved. The sealing between the light-transmitting portion 210 and the edge of the light-transmitting hole 110 is achieved in the form of interference fit, and the overall structure is simpler, easy to achieve, and the sealing effect is good. Moreover, when the electrical device 400 is connected to the panel 100 and the mounting plate 200 is clamped between the electrical device 400 and the panel 100, the mounting plate 200 is equivalent to being connected to the panel 100 through the interference fit between the light-transmitting portion 210 and the light-transmitting hole 110, and the overall structure is more stable.

[0036] Exemplarily, the outer peripheral surface 211 of the light-transmitting portion 210 can be tilted relative to the central axis of the light-transmitting hole 110 (the CC axis shown in the figure), and the tilting direction can be toward the outside of the panel 100 and gradually approach the central axis of the light-transmitting hole 110. The size of the light-transmitting portion 210 on the plane perpendicular to the central axis CC of the light-transmitting hole 100 can be gradually reduced from the inside to the outside of the panel 100. Such an outer peripheral surface 211 of the light-transmitting portion 210 is equivalent to being provided with a draft angle, so that it is easy to produce and process, and it is also easier to implement. Moreover, the outer peripheral surface 211 of the light-transmitting portion 210 is easier to form an interference fit with the light-transmitting hole 110, and the installation process of the overall assembly is more labor-saving and convenient.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 4 At the edge of the light-transmitting hole 110, the front side of the mounting plate 200 can be attached to the panel 100 to form a seal. The mounting plate 200 can be directly attached to the panel 100 to form a seal, so that the structure of the overall assembly is simple and easy to implement. When the mounting plate 200 is attached to the panel 100 to form a seal, the light-transmitting portion 210 can still be interference-fitted with the light-transmitting hole 110 to achieve a seal, and such an electrical assembly has a better sealing effect.

[0038] When the mounting plate 200 is directly attached to the panel 100 to form a seal, the machining accuracy of the mounting plate 200 is required to be high. Figure 5 , the front of the mounting plate 200 may be provided with a boss 230 protruding outward, the light-transmitting portion 210 may be provided in the central area of ​​the boss 230, and the edge area of ​​the boss 230 may be fitted with the panel 100 to form a seal. The central area of ​​the boss 230 may correspond to the projection of the light-transmitting hole 110 on the boss 230. The edge area of ​​the boss 230 may be the portion of the boss 230 excluding the central area, and the edge area of ​​the boss 230 may be in direct contact with the inner side of the panel 100. It is simpler to fit the edge area of ​​the boss 230 with the panel 100 to form a seal, the overall machining accuracy requirement for the mounting plate 200 is lower, and the production and machining of the overall assembly are more convenient.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first mounting portion 220 may include at least two clamping arms 221. The clamping arms 221 may have a certain elasticity. Each clamping arm 221 may include two parts, wherein each part surrounds a part of the indicator light 300 along opposite circumferential directions on the indicator light 300. Each clamping arm 221 may be provided with an arc-shaped notch. Different parts of the indicator light 300 may be respectively inserted into the arc-shaped notches of at least two clamping arms 221. The arc-shaped notch may be an opening of any form adapted to the shape of the indicator light 300. The indicator light 300 is installed from the arc-shaped notch, so that the clamping arm 221 may limit and fix the indicator light 300. At least two clamping arms 221 may be spaced apart in a direction parallel to the axis of the indicator light 300 (DD axis in the figure). At least two clamping arms 221 can form a stable limiting fixation for the indicator light 300 in a direction parallel to the axis DD of the indicator light 300, and each clamping arm 221 can form a stable limiting fixation for the indicator light 300 in a direction perpendicular to the axis DD of the indicator light 300. Therefore, the indicator light 300 installed on such a first mounting part 220 is more stably, the indicator light 300 is not easy to fall off, and the structure of the overall assembly is more stable.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The back of the mounting plate 200 may also have a second mounting portion 240, and the electrical device 400 may be mounted to the second mounting portion 240. The second mounting portion 240 may be in any form that is easy to mount the electrical device 400. Depending on the different electrical devices 400 to be mounted, the second mounting portion 240 may be adapted thereto. For example, the second mounting portion 240 may include a mounting seat that matches the electrical device 400. The provision of the second mounting portion 240 may facilitate the installation and fixation of the electrical device 400. The overall structure of such an electrical assembly is more stable, and the use of the electrical device 400 may also be more convenient.

[0041] Exemplarily, the second mounting portion 240 may include a plurality of elastic buckles 241, and the plurality of elastic buckles 241 may hold the electrical device 400. Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the illustrated embodiment, the second mounting portion 240 includes two elastic buckles 241. Obviously, in other embodiments not shown, the number of elastic buckles 241 can be arbitrary. The elastic buckle 241 can have a form adapted to the appearance of the electrical device 400. A plurality of elastic buckles 241 can clamp the electrical device 400 to limit and fix the electrical device 400. The provision of the elastic buckle 241 makes it more stable to install the electrical device 400 on the second mounting portion 240. Moreover, the electrical device 400 is limited and fixed in position by the elastic buckle 241, which makes it more convenient and simple to install the electrical device 400. The overall structure is also simpler and easy to implement.

[0042] For example, see Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The second mounting portion 240 may include a plurality of first flanges 242 and a plurality of second flanges 243. The first flanges 242 may extend along a first direction (the XX direction in the figure), and the second flanges 243 may extend along a second direction (the YY direction in the figure) different from the first direction. Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8In the illustrated embodiment, the first direction XX is perpendicular to the second direction YY. In other embodiments not shown, the angle between the first direction and the second direction may be arbitrary. The plurality of first convex edges 242 and the plurality of second convex edges 243 may respectively limit different sides of the electrical device 400. The plurality of first convex edges 242 all extend along the first direction XX, so that the plurality of first convex edges 242 may limit the movement of the electrical device 400 in the second direction YY; the plurality of second convex edges 243 all extend along the second direction YY, so that the plurality of second convex edges 243 may limit the movement of the electrical device 400 in the first direction XX. Thus, the plurality of first convex edges 242 cooperate with the plurality of second convex edges 243 to further limit and fix the electrical device 400. Moreover, the multiple first flanges 242 and the multiple second flanges 243 do not have separate clamping for the electrical component 400. Therefore, it is much simpler to install the electrical component 400 on such a second mounting portion 240. The electrical component 400 can be limited by simply placing the electrical component 400 into the limiting area surrounded by the multiple first flanges 242 and the multiple second flanges 243, and the installation of the overall assembly is also more convenient.

[0043] For example, see Figure 6 The side of the electrical device 400 may have a protruding neutral wire connector 410 and a live wire connector 420. At least one first flange 242 and / or at least one second flange 243 may be arranged between the neutral wire connector 410 and the live wire connector 420. The neutral wire connector 410 and the live wire connector 420 may generally be made of metal, and at least one first flange 242 and / or at least one second flange 243 may be arranged between the neutral wire connector 410 and the live wire connector 420, so as to avoid a short circuit caused by contact between the neutral wire connector 410 and the live wire connector 420, and such an electrical component is safer and more stable when in use.

[0044] For example, see Figure 6 The side of the electrical device 400 may have a protruding neutral connector 410 and a live connector 420, the mounting plate 200 may have a flange 250 protruding from the side of the electrical device 400, the mounting plate 200 may be insulated, and the flange 250 may separate the neutral connector 410 and the live connector 420 from the panel 100. The flange 250 may be a portion between the projection of the electrical device 400 on the mounting plate 200 and the edge of the mounting plate 200. The panel 100 may generally be made of metal, and the neutral connector 410 and the live connector 420 may generally be made of metal. The flange 250 separates the neutral connector 410 and the live connector 420 from the panel 100, which can prevent voltage from being present on the panel 100 and prevent short circuits from occurring, and such electrical components are safer and more stable when in use.
