Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical components and equipment, specifically to a container leakage protection grounding device. Background Technology

[0002] Household appliances such as water heaters and smart toilets are water- and electrical devices, making their safety a major concern. Due to humid environments and prolonged operation, electrical leakage may occur inside the devices, with the risk of leakage being even greater at the water inlet and outlet, posing a safety hazard to users.

[0003] Traditionally, a grounding wire is used to connect the entire device to protect users from electric shock. However, this method has the problem that the grounding wire cannot reliably contact water, and there is still a risk of contact between the human body and the water. Another grounding method is to use a tube or probe inserted into the container through the container wall. This grounding is reliable, but it reduces the container's airtightness, which may lead to water leakage, and it also reduces the aesthetic appearance of the device.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a reliable and aesthetically pleasing grounding device to prevent leakage current for the aforementioned equipment that is wet or energized. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, it further includes: a conductive first connecting plate, which is integrally formed with the first plug-in portion and the second plug-in portion; and a first grounding point, which is disposed on the first connecting plate and is used for electrical connection with the ground wire.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the container body is provided with a first hole and a second hole, and the first insertion part and the second insertion part are respectively inserted into the first hole and the second hole from top to bottom.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the container body is provided with a third hole, and the first connecting plate is installed in the third hole by a plug-in fastener.

[0013] Preferably, it includes: a conductive second connecting plate, which is integrally formed with the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe; and a second grounding point, which is disposed on the second connecting plate and is used for electrical connection with the ground wire.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0025] In Example 1, as Figure 1 As shown, a container leakage protection grounding device includes: a container body 1, having an inlet pipe 2 and an outlet pipe 3; a first grounding part, disposed near the inlet pipe 2 and in contact with the water flowing into the inlet pipe 2; and a second grounding part, disposed near the outlet pipe 3 and in contact with the water flowing into the outlet pipe 3; both the first grounding part and the second grounding part are electrically connected to a ground wire. The first grounding part and the second grounding part are in the form of a first plug-in part 4 and a second plug-in part 5, which are plugged into the container body 1 and in contact with the water; the first plug-in part 4 is located on the water outlet side of the inlet pipe 2, forming the first grounding part; the second plug-in part 5 is located on the water inlet side of the inlet pipe 2, forming the second grounding part. In this embodiment, the water flowing into the container body 1 from the inlet pipe 2 is grounded, and the water flowing out of the container body 1 from the outlet pipe 3 is also grounded, thereby guiding any possible leakage current within the container body 1 to the ground wire, effectively protecting the electrical safety of the equipment and greatly enhancing its safety.

[0026] In Example 1, as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes: a conductive first connecting plate 6, which is integrally formed with the first plug-in part 4 and the second plug-in part 5; and a first grounding point 7, which is disposed on the first connecting plate 6 for electrical connection with the ground wire. The first plug-in part 4, the second plug-in part 5, the first connecting plate 6 and the first grounding point 7 constitute a complete grounding element, that is, the water inlet and outlet structure can be completed through a single grounding element, which has the advantages of simple structure and convenient installation and wiring.

[0027] In Example 1, as Figure 1 As shown, the top of the container body 1 is provided with a first hole 8 and a second hole 9, and the first insertion part 4 and the second insertion part 5 are respectively inserted into the first hole 8 and the second hole 9 from top to bottom. Compared with the traditional insertion tube or probe, this structure does not damage the sealing of the side wall of the container body 1, avoids the addition of new water leakage points, and effectively maintains the integrity and functionality of the container body 1.

[0028] In Example 1, as Figure 1 As shown, the top of the container body 1 is provided with a third hole 10, and the first connecting plate 6 is installed in the third hole 10 by means of a plug-in fastener 11. The plug-in fastener 11 can be assembled with the third hole 10 by means of bolts. The installation of the grounding element is realized through a simple structure, which is convenient to operate and facilitates later maintenance.

[0029] In Example 1, as Figure 1 As shown, a first sealing element 12 is provided between the first insertion part 4 and the first hole 8, and between the second insertion part 5 and the second hole 9. The first sealing element 12 further improves the sealing performance of the container body 1 and avoids leakage due to the grounding element.

[0030] In Example 2, as Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a conductive first connecting pipe 13 and a second connecting pipe 14. One end of the first connecting pipe 13 is connected to an external water inlet, and the other end is connected to an inlet pipe 2, forming a first grounding part. One end of the second connecting pipe 14 is connected to an outlet pipe 3, and the other end is connected to an external water outlet, forming a second grounding part. In the structure of Embodiment Two, the water flow that is about to enter the container body 1 through the inlet pipe 2 is grounded, and at the same time, the water flow that has just exited the container body 1 through the outlet pipe 3 is grounded, thereby guiding the possible leakage current in the container body 1 to the ground wire, effectively protecting the electrical safety of the equipment and greatly enhancing the safety of the equipment.

[0031] In Example 2, as Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a conductive second connecting plate 15, which is integrally formed with the first connecting pipe 13 and the second connecting pipe 14; and a second grounding point 16, which is disposed on the second connecting plate 15 for electrical connection with the ground wire. Similar to the structure of Embodiment 1, the first connecting pipe 13, the second connecting pipe 14, the second connecting plate 15, and the second grounding point 16 of Embodiment 2 constitute a complete grounding element, that is, the structure of water inlet and outlet can be completed through a single grounding element, which has the advantages of simple structure and convenient installation and wiring.

[0032] In Example 2, as Figure 2 As shown, the container body 1 includes an inlet pipe 2 and an outlet pipe 3 vertically arranged on the top of the container body 1. A first connecting pipe 13 and a second connecting pipe 14 are connected to the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3 from top to bottom, respectively. Specifically, a second connecting plate 15 has a fourth hole 17 and a fifth hole 18 on the side facing the container body 1. The fourth hole 17 and the fifth hole 18 are concentrically arranged with the first connecting pipe 13 and the second connecting pipe 14, respectively. The inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3 are respectively inserted into the fourth hole 17 and the fifth hole 18. A second sealing element 19 is provided between the inlet pipe 2 and the fourth hole 17, and between the outlet pipe 3 and the fifth hole 18. This structure assembles the entire grounding element as an additional cover plate for the container body 1, making the overall appearance of the product aesthetically pleasing while ensuring good grounding and sealing performance.

Other obvious variations or modifications derived from the essential spirit of the present utility model still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
