Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of gas water heaters, and in particular relates to a window structure of a gas water heater. Background Art

[0002] Gas water heaters are one of the indispensable household products in our current life. They use gas as energy and heat through combustion. The heat of gas combustion is transferred to the cold water flowing through the heat exchanger through the heat exchanger to achieve the purpose of preparing hot water. With the continuous progress of society and the continuous improvement of people's lives, consumers' requirements for the appearance of gas water heaters are also increasing. Gas water heaters with large-screen displays are deeply loved by consumers because of their unique and novel appearance.

[0003] See also Figure 1 The gas water heater shown in the figure includes a face shell (A), and a window panel (B) installed on the front of the face shell (A) by adhesive (C). A regular and rectangular display operation opening (A1) is provided on the face shell (A). The window panel (B) is usually made of PVC material or acrylic material. The display operation panel is installed on the back of the face shell (A). The display operation panel includes a display screen and operation buttons, both of which pass through the face shell (A) through the display operation opening (A1). The position of the window panel (B) corresponding to the display screen is set to be transparent, and the position corresponding to the operation button is provided with an operation function prompt, so that consumers can observe the display screen and touch the operation button through the window panel (B); the problem is that the gas water heater with the above structure Since the size of the display operation opening (A1) is much larger than the outer edge size of the display operation panel, when the display operation panel is installed on the face shell (A), the display operation opening (A1) is located outside the display screen and / or the operation button, and a large hollow space is still left. In addition, the window panel (B) is easily deformed after being subjected to force due to its material characteristics. When consumers operate the operation buttons of the display operation panel through the window panel (B), they are likely to mistakenly press the hollow space of the display control opening and cause the window panel (B) to deform. After a certain period of use, the window panel (B) bends due to deformation and falls off the face shell (A), which seriously affects the service life of the window panel (B), increases the use cost of the gas water heater, and poors the use experience of consumers.
