[0029] As shown in the figure: burner shell-1, accommodating cavity-1.1, smoke exhaust pipe installation hole-1.2, positioning part-1.3, smoke exhaust pipe-2, blocking sleeve-3, insertion hole-3.1, docking part-3.2, docking part-3.3, plug-in part-3.4. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] The present invention is specifically described below with reference to the following embodiments:
[0031] Example:
[0032] Gas water heater, such as Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , the burner housing 1 mainly comprises a burner housing 1 formed of a plate member, and an accommodating cavity 1.1 is formed inside the burner housing 1 for accommodating and installing components such as a burner, a heat exchanger and a smoke exhaust hood.
[0033] At the same time, a smoke exhaust pipe mounting hole 1.2 is provided on the burner housing 1, which is a through hole arranged on the burner housing 1, one end of the through hole extends to the outer surface of the burner housing 1 and is connected to the external space of the burner housing 1; the other end extends to the side wall of the accommodating chamber 1.1 and is connected to the accommodating chamber 1.1.
[0034] Moreover, the smoke exhaust pipe installation hole 1.2 is inserted with: a smoke exhaust pipe 2 for exhausting the smoke in the accommodating chamber 1.1 to the outside. Specifically, when the gas water heater is working, the burner in the accommodating chamber 1.1 works to generate high-temperature smoke, and the high-temperature smoke flows to the smoke exhaust hood that receives the smoke generated by the burner; one end of the smoke exhaust pipe 2 is connected to the smoke exhaust hood to receive the high-temperature smoke flowing into the smoke exhaust hood, and the other end extends from the smoke exhaust pipe installation hole 1.2 to the outside of the burner housing 1; so that the smoke in the smoke exhaust hood can be discharged to the outside.
[0035] Considering the overall precision requirements, production costs and production and assembly efficiency, the aperture size of the exhaust pipe installation hole 1.2 is generally slightly larger than the outer diameter size of the exhaust pipe 2, so that the exhaust pipe 2 can be smoothly inserted into the exhaust pipe installation hole 1.2 during installation; at this time, there is an installation gap between the inner wall of the exhaust pipe installation hole 1.2 and the exhaust pipe 2. This installation gap is produced based on normal installation requirements, and when the exhaust pipe 2 is actually inserted into the exhaust pipe installation hole 1.2, the installation gap left is not very large.
[0036] However, due to objective requirements such as production and assembly, there is an installation gap, which causes noise to be transmitted from the accommodating chamber 1.1 to the outside through the installation gap when the burner and other components in the accommodating chamber 1.1 are working, resulting in a poor user experience.
[0037] Based on this, in this embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 2As shown in the figure, a blocking sleeve 3 can be mounted on the outer periphery of the smoke exhaust pipe 2, that is, the blocking sleeve 3 has an insertion hole 3.1, and the aperture size of the insertion hole 3.1 is adapted to the outer diameter size setting of the smoke exhaust pipe 2; so that after the blocking sleeve 3 is mounted on the outer periphery of the smoke exhaust pipe 2, it can cover the installation gap to block the noise in the accommodating cavity 1.1, and then reduce the noise transmitted from the burner housing 1 to the outside, thereby optimizing the user experience of the gas water heater.
[0038] The blocking sleeve 3 can be placed in the accommodating cavity 1.1. At this time, the blocking sleeve 3 is placed in the burner housing 1 and covers the installation gap from the inside of the burner housing 1.
[0039] Or, as attached Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the blocking sleeve 3 is preferably placed outside the burner housing 1, and covers the installation gap from the outside of the burner housing 1. While covering the installation gap to block the noise from being transmitted, it can better prevent external dust and other impurities from entering the accommodating cavity 1.1 through the installation gap.
[0040] Further, in order to prevent dust and other impurities from accumulating on the outer surface of the blocking sleeve 3, the Figures 2 to 3 As shown in FIG, the outer surface of the blocking sleeve 3 may have a guide surface 3.2, and the guide surface 3.2 is arranged to be inclined so as to guide the materials falling on the blocking sleeve 3 to fall downward.
[0041] As attached Figure 2 As shown in , the burner housing 1 may also have a positioning portion 1.3, and the blocking sleeve 3 is provided with a docking portion 3.3, and in the insertion direction of the smoke exhaust pipe 2 (i.e., the direction in which the smoke exhaust pipe 2 is inserted into the smoke exhaust pipe installation hole 1.2), the docking portion 3.3 is plugged into the positioning portion 1.3. This can improve the installation stability of the blocking sleeve 3, so that the blocking sleeve 3 can stably cover the installation gap, thereby stably blocking the noise from being transmitted.
[0042] As attached Figure 2 As shown in , in this embodiment, the positioning portion 1.3 is preferably: a protrusion arranged on the outer surface of the burner housing 1. Matchingly, the docking portion 3.3 is: a groove arranged on the blocking sleeve 3 and adapted for the positioning portion 1.3 to be inserted.
[0043] At this time, if the attached Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the side of the blocking sleeve 3 facing the burner housing 1 includes a plane, and the positioning portion 1.3 has a portion that fits with the plane, increasing the contact area between the blocking sleeve 3 and the positioning portion 1.3; so as to further improve the positioning and supporting stability of the blocking sleeve 3 by the positioning portion 1.3.
[0044] On the basis of the above, as attached Figure 4As shown in the figure, the blocking sleeve 3 can also be provided with a plug-in portion 3.4, which is a protruding structure arranged on a side surface facing the burner housing 1, and its size is adapted to the installation gap between the inner wall of the smoke exhaust pipe mounting hole 1.2 and the smoke exhaust pipe 2, so that the blocking sleeve 3 can be mounted on the smoke exhaust pipe 2, and when the installation gap is covered, the plug-in portion 3.4 can be adapted to be inserted into the installation gap between the inner wall of the smoke exhaust pipe mounting hole 1.2 and the smoke exhaust pipe 2, so as to have a better noise blocking effect.
[0045] Furthermore, the plug-in portion 3.4 is preferably an annular structure sleeved on the outer circumference of the smoke exhaust pipe 2, so as to fill the installation gap between the inner wall of the smoke exhaust pipe installation hole 1.2 and the smoke exhaust pipe 2 with the maximum area, thereby further improving the noise blocking effect.
[0046] In this embodiment, the plug part 3.4 has one end inserted into the installation gap, which is chamfered to form an inclined surface to guide the plug part 3.4 into the installation gap, so that the plug part 3.4 can be inserted into the installation gap between the inner wall of the exhaust pipe installation hole 1.2 and the exhaust pipe 2 more smoothly.
[0047] According to actual needs, the blocking sleeve 3 can be made of a variety of materials, such as plastic or metal.
[0048] In this embodiment, the blocking sleeve 3 is preferably made of an elastic material such as rubber or silicone to have elasticity; in this way, the aperture size of the insertion hole 3.1 can be slightly smaller than the outer diameter size of the smoke exhaust pipe 2, so that the blocking sleeve 3 can be more tightly mounted on the outside of the smoke exhaust pipe 2, so as to better cover the installation gap between the inner wall of the smoke exhaust pipe mounting hole 1.2 and the smoke exhaust pipe 2, and thus better block the noise in the accommodating chamber 1.1 from being transmitted outward.
[0049] On the basis of the above, a sound absorbing member may be provided on the side surface of the blocking sleeve 3 facing the installation gap, and the sound absorbing member is preferably sound absorbing cotton, so as to further improve the noise blocking effect.
