[0041] In related technologies, some gas water heating devices are usually provided with a fan and a water pump. However, the fan and the water pump are usually independently arranged and need to be respectively configured with a set of driving devices, resulting in a relatively high cost of the gas water heating device; and the fan and the water pump are separately arranged, and the overall structure is not compact enough, which will occupy a relatively large installation space, resulting in a relatively large volume of the gas water heating device; in addition, the fan and the water pump need to be installed step by step on the main body of the gas water heating device, resulting in a relatively low assembly efficiency of the gas water heating device.

[0042] The present utility model provides a gas water heating device 100. By integrating the fan and the water pump into one and sharing a set of driving device 21, the cost of the gas water heating device 100 can be reduced, the volume of the whole machine can be reduced, and the assembly efficiency of the whole machine can be improved at the same time.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , in some embodiments of the present utility model, the gas water heating device 100 includes a main body 10 and a fan-water pump assembly 20. The main body 10 has a gas path system and a water path system; the fan-water pump assembly 20 is installed on the main body 10. The fan-water pump assembly 20 includes a driving device 21 and a fan assembly 22 and a water pump assembly 23 that are respectively drivingly connected to the driving device 21. The fan assembly 22 communicates with the gas path system, the water pump assembly 23 communicates with the water path system, and the driving device 21 is used to control the operation of the fan assembly 22 and the water pump assembly 23, so that the fan assembly 22 drives the air flow to flow along the gas path system and the water pump assembly 23 drives the water flow to flow along the water path system.

[0044] The gas water heating device 100 includes, but is not limited to, gas water heaters, gas wall-mounted boilers, etc. Among them, the main body 10 constitutes the main structure of the gas water heating device 100. The main body 10 has an air path system for transporting gaseous fluids (such as gas and flue gas), and a water path system for transporting liquid fluids (such as water flow). The fan and water pump assembly 20 is installed on the main body 10. The fan and water pump assembly 20 integrates the fan assembly 22 and the water pump assembly 23 into one body, and the fan assembly 22 and the water pump assembly 23 share a set of driving devices 21 for driving control, so that the fan function and the water pump function can be integrated into one body. Among them, the fan assembly 22 is connected to the air path system. By controlling the operation of the fan assembly 22 through the driving device 21, the air flow can be driven to flow along the air path system through the fan assembly 22. It should be noted that the gas water heating device 100 can be a forced-draft type gas water heating device 100 or a forced-exhaust type gas water heating device 100. For example, in the forced-draft type gas water heating device 100, the air outlet 2212 of the fan assembly 22 can be connected to the inlet end of the air path system. In this way, when the fan assembly 22 operates, external air can be blown into the air path system and the air flow can be driven to flow from the inlet end to the outlet end of the air path system. Another example is that in the forced-exhaust type gas water heating device 100, the air inlet 2211 of the fan assembly 22 can be connected to the outlet end of the air path system. In this way, when the fan assembly 22 operates, the air flow in the air path system can be drawn into the fan assembly 22 and discharged from the air outlet 2212 of the fan assembly 22. The water pump assembly 23 can be connected to the inlet pipeline 15 or the outlet pipeline 16 of the water path system. The fan assembly 22 and the water pump assembly 23 share a set of driving devices 21. Among them, the driving device 21 can be configured to control the fan assembly 22 and the water pump assembly 23 to operate simultaneously, or the driving device 21 can also be configured to control the fan assembly 22 and the water pump assembly 23 to operate independently of each other, which is not specifically limited here.

[0045] The technical solution of the present utility model is that a fan and water pump assembly 20 is installed on the main body 10 of the gas water heating device 100. The fan assembly 22 of the fan and water pump assembly 20 is communicated with the gas path system of the main body 10, and the water pump assembly 23 of the fan and water pump assembly 20 is communicated with the water path system of the main body 10. Moreover, the fan assembly 22 and the water pump assembly 23 share a set of driving devices 21 for driving control. When the gas water heating device 100 works, the driving device 21 is used to control the operation of the fan assembly 22, and then the fan assembly 22 can drive the air flow to flow along the gas path system to realize the fan function; the driving device 21 is used to control the operation of the water pump assembly 23, and then the water pump function can be realized. In this way, only one set of driving devices 21 needs to be configured to realize the two functions of the fan and the water pump, which can reduce the cost of the gas water heating device 100; moreover, the integration degree of the fan and water pump assembly 20 is higher, the number of driving devices 21 is reduced, the internal installation space of the gas water heating device 100 can be saved, which is beneficial to reducing the volume of the gas water heating device 100 and making more installation space available inside the gas water heating device 100 for installing other expansion function modules. And when assembling the gas water heating device 100, only the fan and water pump assembly 20 needs to be installed on the main body 10 at one time, which can simplify the installation steps and thus improve the assembly efficiency of the gas water heating device 100.

[0046] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, in an embodiment, the main body 10 includes a burner 11, a combustion chamber box 12 and a heat exchanger 13 arranged in sequence. A combustion chamber is formed inside the combustion chamber box 12. The gas passage of the burner 11, the combustion chamber and the flue gas passage of the heat exchanger 13 are communicated in sequence to form the gas path system. The air outlet 2212 of the fan assembly 22 is communicated with the burner 11 for blowing air into the burner 11 and driving the air flow to flow along the gas path system.

[0047] In this embodiment, the gas water heating device 100 specifically relates to a forced-draft gas water heating device 100, such as a forced-draft gas water heater. The gas water heating device 100 includes a burner 11, a combustion chamber box 12, and a heat exchanger 13 arranged in sequence. For example, the burner 11, the combustion chamber box 12, and the heat exchanger 13 may be arranged in sequence from bottom to top along the height direction of the main body 10. Alternatively, the burner 11, the combustion chamber box 12, and the heat exchanger 13 may also be arranged in sequence from top to bottom along the height direction of the main body 10 to form a gas water heating device 100 with an inverted combustion system. The burner 11 has a gas passage for conveying combustion gas (including gas and air). The combustion chamber box 12 is internally constructed with a combustion chamber that penetrates up and down. The heat exchanger 13 may include two end plates arranged oppositely, and a heat exchange main body arranged between the two end plates. The heat exchange main body may include heat exchange tubes and a fin group sleeved outside the heat exchange tubes. A flue gas passage for the flue gas to pass through is formed between the two end plates, and a water flow passage for the water flow to pass through is formed inside the heat exchange tubes. The gas passage of the burner 11, the combustion chamber of the combustion chamber box 12, and the flue gas passage of the heat exchanger 13 are sequentially connected to form a gas path system. When the gas water heating device 100 operates, gas and air can be conveyed by the gas passage to the burner 11, and after being ignited and burned by the burner 11, high-temperature flue gas is generated. The high-temperature flue gas flows towards the heat exchanger 13 along the combustion chamber, and the flue gas passes through the flue gas passage of the heat exchanger 13 to heat the water flow in the heat exchanger 13. Among them, the fan assembly 22 has an air inlet 2211 and an air outlet 2212. The air outlet 2212 of the fan assembly 22 is connected to the burner 11. When the fan assembly 22 operates, the outside air can enter the fan assembly 22 through the air inlet 2211, and then be blown into the burner 11 through the air outlet 2212 to provide sufficient air for gas combustion; and when the fan assembly 22 operates, it can generate a negative pressure at the air inlet 2211, thereby driving the air flow to flow along the gas path system, so that the high-temperature flue gas in the gas path system can quickly flow to the heat exchanger 13 for heat exchange, improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0048] As Figure 6 shown, in one embodiment, the burner 11, the combustion chamber box 12, and the heat exchanger 13 are arranged in sequence from bottom to top. The main body 10 further includes a smoke collecting hood 14 covering the top of the heat exchanger 13. The gas path system further includes a smoke collecting chamber formed in the smoke collecting hood 14. The smoke collecting hood 14 is provided with a smoke exhaust port communicating with the smoke collecting chamber. The fan and water pump assembly 20 is arranged at the bottom of the burner 11.

[0049] In this embodiment, the fan-pump assembly 20, the combustion chamber housing 12, the heat exchanger 13, and the smoke collecting hood 14 are arranged in sequence from bottom to top. The fan assembly 22 of the fan-pump assembly 20 can function as a strong blower to achieve the air blowing function. When the gas water heater 100 operates, the driving device 21 of the fan-pump assembly 20 drives the fan assembly 22 to operate, so as to blow air into the burner 11 to provide sufficient air for gas combustion, and drives the high-temperature flue gas generated by the combustion of the burner 11 to flow along the combustion chamber housing 12 towards the heat exchanger 13 for heat exchange with the heat exchanger 13. The flue gas after heat exchange is collected by the smoke collecting chamber of the smoke collecting hood 14 and discharged through the smoke outlet.

[0050] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 shown, in some embodiments, the main body 10 further includes a water inlet pipe 15 and a water outlet pipe 16. The water inlet pipe 15 is connected to the water inlet port of the heat exchanger 13, the water outlet pipe 16 is connected to the water outlet port of the heat exchanger 13, and the water inlet pipe 15, the heat exchanger 13, and the water outlet pipe 16 are connected in sequence to form the water system. The water pump assembly 23 is provided in the water inlet pipe 15 or the water outlet pipe 16.

[0051] In this embodiment, the heat exchanger 13 has a water inlet port for inputting cold water and a water outlet port for outputting hot water. Among them, the water inlet port and the water outlet port can be respectively provided on opposite sides of the heat exchanger 13, or the water inlet port and the water outlet port can also be provided on the same side of the heat exchanger 13. The water inlet pipe 15, the heat exchanger 13, and the water outlet pipe 16 are connected in sequence to form a water system. When the gas water heater 100 operates, the driving device 21 of the fan-pump assembly 20 drives the water pump assembly 23 to operate, so that the external cold water can be transported to the heat exchanger 13 through the water inlet pipe 15 for heating, and the heated hot water can be output through the water outlet pipe 16 to provide hot water for users. Among them, the water pump assembly 23 can be connected in series on the water inlet pipe 15, or can also be connected in series on the water outlet pipe 16 to play a role in pressurizing the water system. When the water pump assembly 23 is provided on the water inlet pipe 15, the cold water passing through the water pump assembly 23 can also cool the heat-generating components (such as motors, circuit boards, etc.) of the driving device 21 of the fan-pump assembly 20, thereby extending the service life of the fan-pump assembly 20.

[0052] The following gives examples of several installation scenarios of the fan-pump assembly 20.

[0053] As Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, the water inlet pipeline 15 includes a water inlet joint 151 and a water inlet pipe 152. The water pump assembly 23 is connected in series between the water inlet joint 151 and the water inlet pipe 152. The water inlet joint 151, the water pump assembly 23, the water inlet pipe 152, and the water inlet port of the heat exchanger 13 are connected in sequence.

[0054] In this embodiment, the water outlet end of the water inlet joint 151 is connected to the water inlet 2311 of the water pump assembly 23. The water outlet 2312 of the water pump assembly 23 is connected to the water inlet port of the heat exchanger 13 via the water inlet pipe 152, so that the water pump assembly 23 is connected in series on the water inlet pipeline 15. Exemplarily, the water inlet pipeline 15 and the water outlet pipeline 16 are disposed on opposite sides of the main body 10 along the width direction of the main body 10. For example, the water inlet pipeline 15 is located on the right side of the main body 10, and the water outlet pipeline 16 is located on the left side of the main body 10. The water inlet pipe 152 and the water outlet pipe 162 extend downward from both sides of the heat exchanger 13 respectively. The water inlet joint 151 is disposed at the bottom end of the water inlet pipe 152, and the water outlet joint 161 is disposed at the bottom end of the water outlet pipe 162. The fan and water pump assembly 20 is installed on one side of the bottom of the main body 10 close to the water inlet pipeline 15. The water inlet joint 151 is disposed close to the fan and water pump assembly 20, which can shorten the pipeline length between the water pump assembly 23 and the water inlet joint 151. The air outlet 2212 of the fan assembly 22 of the fan and water pump assembly 20 is connected to the burner 11. When the fan and water pump assembly 20 operates, the fan assembly 22 and the water pump assembly 23 are driven to operate simultaneously by the driving device 21, so that while the fan assembly 22 provides air for the combustion of the gas in the burner 11, the water pump assembly 23 can increase the pressure of the water flow in the water system. The cold water can also cool down the heat-generating components (such as motors, circuit boards, etc.) of the driving device 21 after passing through the water pump assembly 23, thereby extending the service life of the fan and water pump assembly 20. And, in some embodiments, when the water inlet pipeline 15 and the water outlet pipeline 16 of the gas water heater 100 are connected to form a zero-cold water circulation loop, the cold water remaining in the water outlet pipeline 16 can also be driven by the water pump assembly 23 to circulate along the zero-cold water circulation loop for preheating to achieve the zero-cold water function.

[0055] As Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the water outlet pipeline 16 includes a water outlet joint 161 and a water outlet pipe 162. The water pump assembly 23 is connected in series between the water outlet joint 161 and the water outlet pipe 162. The water outlet port of the heat exchanger 13, the water outlet pipe 162, the water pump assembly 23, and the water outlet joint 161 are connected in sequence.

[0056] In this embodiment, the water outlet port of the heat exchanger 13 is connected to the water inlet 2311 of the water pump assembly 23 via the water outlet pipe 162, and the water outlet 2312 of the water pump assembly 23 is connected to the water inlet end of the water outlet joint 161, so that the water pump assembly 23 is connected in series on the water outlet pipe 16. The hot water in the heat exchanger 13 can be transported to the water pump assembly 23 via the water outlet pipe 162 and then to the water outlet joint 161 by the water pump assembly 23. Exemplarily, the water inlet port and the water outlet port of the heat exchanger 13 are on the same side, the water inlet pipe 152 and the water outlet pipe 162 extend downward from the same side of the heat exchanger 13, the water inlet joint 151 is provided at the bottom end of the water inlet pipe 152, and the water outlet joint 161 is provided at the bottom end of the water outlet pipe 162. Optionally, in order to facilitate the connection of external pipelines, the water inlet joint 151 and the water outlet joint 161 are located on opposite sides in the width direction of the main body 10. The fan and water pump assembly 20 is installed on one side of the bottom of the main body 10 close to the water outlet joint 161, which can shorten the pipeline length between the water pump assembly 23 and the water outlet joint 161. When the fan and water pump assembly 20 is working, the fan assembly 22 and the water pump assembly 23 are simultaneously driven by the driving device 21 to operate, so that while the fan assembly 22 provides air for the combustion of the gas in the burner 11, the water flow rate of the water circuit system can be pressurized by the water pump assembly 23. When the water inlet pipe 15 and the water outlet pipe 16 of the gas water heater 100 are connected to form a zero cold water circulation loop, the cold water remaining in the water outlet pipe 16 can also be driven by the water pump assembly 23 to circulate along the zero cold water circulation loop for preheating to achieve the zero cold water function.

[0057] As Figures 3 to 5 shown, in some embodiments, the gas water heater 100 further includes a second water pump 30 provided in the water inlet pipe 15, and the second water pump 30 is configured to selectively operate together with the water pump assembly 23 to pressurize the water circuit system.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the water pump assembly 23 of the fan and water pump assembly 20 is in an operating state, the second water pump 30 can be selectively turned on or off under the control of the control system according to user needs. For example, when a stronger pressurization effect is required during the user's water use process, the water pump assembly 23 of the fan and water pump assembly 20 and the second water pump 30 operate simultaneously, and under their combined action, a stronger pressurization effect can be achieved on the water circuit system. In addition, when the water inlet pipe 15 and the water outlet pipe 16 of the gas water heater 100 are connected to form a zero cold water circulation loop, the cold water remaining in the water outlet pipe 16 can also be driven to circulate along the zero cold water circulation loop for preheating under the combined action of the water pump assembly 23 of the fan and water pump assembly 20 and the second water pump 30, increasing the circulation flow rate and reducing the user's waiting time.

[0059] Among them, the water pump assembly 23 and the second water pump 30 can be arranged in series or in parallel in the water circuit system.

[0060] As Figure 3 shown, in one embodiment, the second water pump 30 and the water pump assembly 23 are arranged in series in the inlet pipe 15. For example, the inlet pipe 15 includes an inlet joint 151 and an inlet pipe 152. The water pump assembly 23 is connected in series between the inlet joint 151 and the inlet pipe 152, and the second water pump 30 is connected in series on the inlet pipe 152 and is located downstream of the water outlet 2312 of the water pump assembly 23. In this way, by connecting a second water pump 30 in series at the rear end of the fan water pump assembly 20, the water flow can be pressurized twice to provide more water flow options; the connected second water pump 30 can be turned on and off according to user needs, providing a stronger pressurization effect during the user's water use, and can also act together with the fan water pump assembly 20 during zero cold water circulation to increase the circulation flow and reduce the user's waiting time.

[0061] As Figure 4 shown, in another embodiment, the inlet pipe 15 includes a first inlet pipe 1521 and a second inlet pipe 1522 that are respectively communicated with the water inlet end of the water heater. The water pump assembly 23 is arranged in the first inlet pipe 1521, and the second water pump 30 is arranged in the second inlet pipe 1522. The water pump assembly 23 and the second water pump 30 are arranged in parallel. In this way, the water pump assembly 23 and the second water pump 30 can be arranged in parallel on the inlet pipe 15 to pressurize the water flow twice and provide more water flow options. The connected second water pump 30 can be turned on and off according to user needs, providing a stronger pressurization effect during the user's water use, and can also act together with the fan water pump assembly 20 during zero cold water circulation to increase the circulation flow and reduce the user's waiting time. In addition, the connected second water pump 30 and the fan water pump assembly 20 are not on the same pipeline. When the connected second water pump 30 is not started, the water flow will not pass through the pipeline where the connected second water pump 30 is located. Compared with series connection, the pipeline resistance can be reduced.

[0062] As Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the water inlet pipeline 15 includes a first water inlet pipe 1521 and a second water inlet pipe 1522. The water pump assembly 23 is provided on the first water inlet pipe 1521. Both ends of the second water inlet pipe 1522 are respectively communicated with the first water inlet pipe 1521. The water inlet end of the second water inlet pipe 1522 is located upstream of the water inlet end of the water pump assembly 23, and the water outlet end of the second water inlet pipe 1522 is located downstream of the water outlet end of the water pump assembly 23. The second water pump 30 is provided on the second water inlet pipe 1522 and is arranged in parallel with the water pump assembly 23. A one-way valve 40 is provided at the water inlet end of the second water inlet pipe 1522, and the one-way valve 40 is used to unidirectionally conduct the first water inlet pipe 1521 towards the water inlet end of the second water inlet pipe 1522.

[0063] In this embodiment, the water pump assembly 23 and the second water pump 30 are respectively connected in series to the first water inlet pipe 1521 and the second water inlet pipe 1522, so that the water pump assembly 23 and the second water pump 30 are arranged in parallel. Moreover, a one-way valve 40 is provided at the water inlet end of the second water inlet pipe 1522, and the one-way valve 40 is used to unidirectionally conduct the first water inlet pipe 1521 towards the water inlet end of the second water inlet pipe 1522. That is, through the one-way valve 40, the cold water that enters the first water inlet pipe 1521 from the water inlet joint 151 can flow into the second water inlet pipe 1522 through the one-way valve 40, while preventing the water in the second water inlet pipe 1522 from flowing back into the first water inlet pipe 1521 through the one-way valve 40. In this way, when the second water pump 30 is not working and only the fan water pump assembly 20 is operating, it can prevent the water flow pressurized by the fan water pump assembly 20 from flowing back into the first water inlet pipe 1521 from the water inlet end of the second water inlet pipe 1522.

[0064] In addition, as Figure 5 shown, in one embodiment, the water pump assembly 23 of the fan water pump assembly 20 is connected in series to the water outlet pipeline 16, and the second water pump 30 is connected in series to the water inlet pipeline 15. At this time, the water pump assembly 23 and the second water pump 30 are connected in series to the water circuit system, which can perform secondary pressurization on the water flow and provide more water flow options. The second water pump 30 can be turned on and off according to user needs, which can play a stronger pressurization effect during the user's water use process. It can also act together with the fan water pump assembly 20 during zero cold water circulation to increase the circulation flow rate and reduce the user's waiting time.

[0065] In one embodiment, the water outlet end of the water outlet pipeline 16 is communicated with the water inlet pipeline 15, so that the water inlet pipeline 15, the heat exchanger 13, and the water outlet pipeline 16 are connected end to end to form a zero cold water circulation loop. The second water pump 30 and the water pump assembly 23 are also used to drive the water flow to circulate along the zero cold water circulation loop.

[0066] In this embodiment, the gas water heating device 100 further has a zero cold water function. After the zero cold water function is activated, the second water pump 30 and the fan water pump assembly 20 can be controlled to operate simultaneously to drive the cold water remaining in the water outlet pipe 16 to circulate along the zero cold water circulation loop. The cold water remaining in the water outlet pipe 16 can flow back to the water inlet pipe 15 and then be transported by the water inlet pipe 15 to the heat exchanger 13 for heating. In this way, hot water can be output when the user turns on the water-using device, realizing the zero cold water function. Moreover, through the combined action of the water pump assembly 23 of the fan water pump assembly 20 and the second water pump 30, the circulating flow rate can be increased, reducing the waiting time of the user.

[0067] Based on the above embodiment, the driving device 21 can be configured to control the fan assembly 22 and the water pump assembly 23 to operate simultaneously, or the driving device 21 can also be configured to control the fan assembly 22 and the water pump assembly 23 to operate independently of each other. The following gives examples of the specific embodiments of the driving device 21.

[0068] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, in one embodiment, the fan assembly 22 includes a volute 221 and an impeller 222 disposed in the volute 221. The volute 221 has an air inlet 2211 and an air outlet 2212. The water pump assembly 23 includes a pump housing 231 and a pump impeller 232 disposed in the pump housing 231. The pump housing 231 has a water inlet 2311 and a water outlet 2312. The volute 221 and the pump housing 231 are respectively disposed on both sides of the driving device 21. The driving device 21 has a first output end 21a and a second output end 21b for torque output. The first output end 21a is drivingly connected to the impeller 222, and the second output end 21b is drivingly connected to the pump impeller 232.

[0069] In this embodiment, the volute 221 constructs a blower chamber for accommodating the blower wheel 222. The volute 221 has an air inlet 2211 and an air outlet 2212 that communicate with the blower chamber. Among them, the air inlet 2211 of the volute 221 is also the air inlet 2211 of the blower assembly 22, and the air outlet 2212 of the volute 221 is also the air outlet 2212 of the blower assembly 22. The pump casing 231 constructs a pump chamber for accommodating the pump impeller 232. The pump casing 231 has a water inlet 2311 and a water outlet 2312 that communicate with the pump chamber. Among them, the water inlet 2311 of the pump casing 231 is also the water inlet 2311 of the water pump assembly 23, and the water outlet 2312 of the pump casing 231 is also the water outlet 2312 of the water pump assembly 23. The driving device 21 has a first output end 21a and a second output end 21b capable of torque output. Among them, the first output end 21a and the second output end 21b can be configured to output torque synchronously, or can also be configured to output torque independently of each other. The first output end 21a and the blower wheel 222 can be directly driven and connected, or the first output end 21a and the blower wheel 222 are indirectly driven and connected through a transmission structure; the second output end 21b and the pump impeller 232 can be directly driven and connected, or the second output end 21b and the pump impeller 232 are indirectly driven and connected through a transmission structure. Contact power transmission or non-contact power transmission can be adopted between the first output end 21a and the blower wheel 222. Contact power transmission or non-contact power transmission can be adopted between the second output end 21b and the pump impeller 232.

[0070] When the driving device 21 operates, it generates power and outputs torque through the first output end 21a to transmit the power to the wind wheel 222, thereby driving the wind wheel 222 to rotate at a certain speed. When the wind wheel 222 rotates, it can do work on the gas-phase fluid in the fan cavity to drive the gas-phase fluid to flow from the air inlet 2211 to the air outlet 2212 at a preset flow rate, thus realizing the fan function; it outputs torque through the second output end 21b to transmit the power to the pump impeller 232, thereby driving the pump impeller 232 to rotate at a certain speed. When the pump impeller 232 rotates, it can do work on the liquid-phase fluid in the pump cavity to drive the liquid-phase fluid to flow from the liquid inlet to the liquid outlet at a preset flow rate, thus realizing the water pump function. Optionally, the fan cavity is jointly enclosed by the volute 221 and the driving device 21, that is, the volute 221 has an opening facing the driving device 21. When the volute 221 and the driving device 21 are assembled in place, one side end face of the driving device 21 can act as a volute cover to cover the opening of the volute 221, so that the volute cover can be omitted, which is beneficial to saving materials, reducing costs, and reducing the volume of the fan and water pump assembly 20. Optionally, the pump cavity is jointly enclosed by the pump housing 231 and the driving device 21, that is, the pump housing 231 has an opening facing the driving device 21. When the pump housing 231 and the driving device 21 are assembled in place, the other side end face of the driving device 21 can act as a pump housing cover to cover the opening of the pump housing 231, so that the pump housing cover can be omitted, which is beneficial to saving materials, reducing costs, and reducing the volume of the fan and water pump assembly 20. Optionally, a sealing structure is provided at the connection part between the pump housing 231 and the driving device 21 to ensure the sealing performance of the pump cavity. Among them, the driving device 21 includes but is not limited to a single-shaft double-head motor, a double-rotor single-stator motor, a double-rotor double-stator motor, etc.

[0071] As Figure 1 and Figure 8 shown, in an embodiment, the volute 221 and the pump housing 231 are axially disposed on opposite sides of the driving device 21 along the axis of the wind wheel 222, the air inlet 2211 is provided on the side of the volute 221 away from the driving device 21, and the axis of the wind wheel 222 is consistent with the width direction or the thickness direction of the main body 10.

[0072] In this embodiment, the volute 221 and the pump housing 231 are axially disposed on opposite sides of the driving device 21 along the axis of the wind wheel 222, making the overall structure arrangement more regular and compact. An air inlet 2211 is provided on the side of the volute 221 away from the driving device 21, and an air outlet 2212 may be provided on the circumferential side of the volute 221. The wind wheel 222 may be a centrifugal wind wheel disposed in the volute 221. In this way, axial air intake and circumferential air outlet can be achieved. Optionally, the wind wheel 222 includes at least two layers of impellers arranged axially. The use of at least two layers of impellers for the wind wheel 222 is beneficial to improving the aerodynamic performance, reducing noise, and increasing the work efficiency. In addition, in practical applications, the width direction of the main body 10 is generally the left-right direction, and the thickness direction of the main body 10 is generally the front-back direction. In the related art, the axis of the wind wheel of the fan of some gas water heaters is consistent with the thickness direction of the main body 10, and the air inlet of the fan faces the front side of the main body 10, and the front side of the main body 10 is generally the side facing the user. In this way, the user will feel a relatively large fan noise. Optionally, the axis of the wind wheel 222 is arranged to be consistent with the width direction of the main body 10, that is, the axis of the wind wheel 222 is along the left-right direction. The fan assembly 22 and the water pump assembly 23 are disposed on the left and right sides of the driving device 21 respectively, and the air inlet 2211 is provided on the side of the fan assembly 22 away from the driving device 21, so that the air inlet 2211 of the fan assembly 22 can face the left or right side of the main body 10, and the air inlet 2211 of the fan assembly 22 is prevented from facing the front side of the main body 10, which is beneficial to reducing the fan noise felt by the user and improving the user experience. Of course, in some embodiments, the axis of the wind wheel 222 may also be arranged to be consistent with the thickness direction of the main body 10.

[0073] In one embodiment, the first output end 21a and the second output end 21b are configured to output torque synchronously, so that the wind wheel 222 and the pump wheel 232 rotate synchronously. In this way, when the fan and water pump assembly 20 operates, the driving device 21 can drive the wind wheel 222 and the pump wheel 232 to rotate at the same speed simultaneously, so as to realize the functions of the fan and the water pump at the same time.

[0074] In another embodiment, the first output end 21a and the second output end 21b are configured to output torque independently of each other, so that the wind wheel 222 and the pump wheel 232 rotate independently of each other. That is, the torques output by the first output end 21a and the second output end 21b are independent of each other and not interfered with. For example, the first output end 21a and the second output end 21b can output torques of the same magnitude or different magnitudes; for another example, the first output end 21a and the second output end 21b can output torques simultaneously, or one of them can output torque while the other does not work. It can be understood that the torques output by the first output end 21a and the second output end 21b are independent of each other, so that the wind wheel 222 and the pump wheel 232 can operate independently of each other. For example, the wind wheel 222 and the pump wheel 232 can rotate synchronously or asynchronously, and for another example, the rotational speeds of the wind wheel 222 and the pump wheel 232 can be the same or different; thus, it can better adapt to different working conditions.

[0075] As Figure 9 shown, in one embodiment, the drive device 21 includes a rotor 211, a stator 213, and an output shaft 212. The rotor 211 is sleeved around the output shaft 212 and can drive the output shaft 212 to rotate together. Both ends of the output shaft 212 respectively form the first output end 21a and the second output end 21b. The wind wheel 222 and the pump wheel 232 are respectively connected to both ends of the output shaft 212. The stator 213 is sleeved around the rotor 211 and forms a magnetic circuit with the rotor 211 to drive the rotor 211 to rotate.

[0076] In this embodiment, the driving device 21 can adopt a single-axis dual-head motor. The driving device 21 includes a rotor 211, a stator 213, and an output shaft 212. The stator 213 is fixed within the housing 214 of the driving device 21. For example, the stator 213 can be assembled within the cavity of the housing 214, or the stator 213 can be integrally overmolded within the wall of the housing 214. The stator 213 may include a stator 213 iron core and a winding coil provided on the stator 213 iron core. The winding coil is energized to drive the rotor 211 to rotate. Optionally, the stator 213 further includes an insulation system coated on the surface of the stator 213 iron core. Through the insulation system, the winding coil can be separated from the stator 213 iron core to avoid scratching the winding coil or the risk of short circuit. Among them, the insulation system can be realized by spraying an insulating layer on the surface of the stator 213 iron core, or by assembling an insulating skeleton outside the stator 213 iron core. The rotor 211 is accommodated within the inner cavity of the stator 213. The output shaft 212 is inserted through the central position of the rotor 211. Both ends of the output shaft 212 extend out of both sides of the housing 214. One end of the output shaft 212 close to the volute 221 forms a first output end 21a to connect to the wind wheel 222, and one end of the output shaft 212 close to the pump housing 231 forms a second output end 21b to connect to the pump impeller 232. When the coil winding of the stator 213 is energized, it can drive the rotor 211 to rotate. The rotation of the rotor 211 can drive the output shaft 212 to rotate together, so as to drive the wind wheel 222 and the pump impeller 232 to rotate synchronously through the output shaft 212. At this time, the wind wheel 222 and the pump impeller 232 can rotate simultaneously, in the same direction, and at the same speed.

[0077] As Figure 10 shown, in one embodiment, the driving device 21 includes a stator 213, a first rotor 211A, and a second rotor 211B. The first rotor 211A is used as the first output end 21a to drive and connect to the wind wheel 222. The second rotor 211B is used as the second output end 21b to drive and connect to the pump impeller 232. The stator 213 respectively constructs a magnetic circuit with the first rotor 211A and the second rotor 211B to respectively drive the first rotor 211A and the second rotor 211B to rotate.

[0078] In this embodiment, the driving device 21 can adopt a dual-rotor motor. The two rotors 211 of the dual-rotor motor are respectively drivingly connected to the wind wheel 222 and the pump wheel 232. In this way, only one set of electronic control system is needed to control the operation of the dual-rotor motor, and the wind wheel 222 and the pump wheel 232 can be driven to rotate by the dual-rotor motor. The driving device 21 includes a stator 213, a first rotor 211A and a second rotor 211B. Among them, the first rotor 211A and the second rotor 211B can be arranged radially along the stator 213, or the first rotor 211A and the second rotor 211B are arranged axially along the stator 213. The stator 213 and the first rotor 211A form a first magnetic circuit through an air gap. After the coil winding of the stator 213 is energized, the first rotor 211A can be driven to rotate by the magnetic field of the first magnetic circuit, and then the wind wheel 222 is driven to rotate by the first rotor 211A. The stator 213 and the second rotor 211B form a second magnetic circuit through an air gap. After the coil winding of the stator 213 is energized, the second rotor 211B can be driven to rotate by the magnetic field of the second magnetic circuit, and then the pump wheel 232 is driven to rotate by the second rotor 211B. The first rotor 211A and the second rotor 211B share a stator 213, and the overall structure is simpler, the cost is lower, and the volume is smaller.

[0079] As Figure 10 shown, in one embodiment, the stator 213 is arranged in a ring shape, the first rotor 211A surrounds the periphery of the stator 213, and the second rotor 211B is arranged in the inner cavity of the stator 213. In this embodiment, the first rotor 211A is an outer rotor rotatably sleeved on the periphery of the stator 213, and the second rotor 211B is an inner rotor rotatably arranged in the inner cavity of the stator 213. In this way, the first rotor 211A and the second rotor 211B are arranged radially along the stator 213, and the overall arrangement structure is simple, which is beneficial to reducing the axial dimension of the driving device 21, and further reducing the volume of the fan and water pump assembly 20.

[0080] As Figure 10 shown, in one embodiment, the driving device further includes a shielding cover 215. The stator 213 is sleeved on the periphery of the shielding cover 215, the first rotor 211A is sleeved on the periphery of the stator 213 and is rotatably connected to the shielding cover 215, and the second rotor 211B is rotatably installed in the shielding cover 215. In this embodiment, the shielding cover 215 can be used as an installation carrier for the stator 213, the first rotor 211A and the second rotor 211B, so as to facilitate the installation of the three. Moreover, by providing the shielding cover 215, the second rotor 211B can be separated from the stator 213 to play a role of dry-wet isolation, so as to prevent the water in the pump cavity from entering the stator 213 and ensure the safety of the driving device 21. The stator 213 and the shielding cover 215 can be fixed by potting (such as potting epoxy resin material) or BMC injection molding.

[0081] AsFigure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the shielding cover 215 is provided with a bearing 217. The first rotor 211A includes a rotor housing, a first magnetic ring, and a first rotating shaft. The rotor housing is sleeved on the periphery of the stator 213. The first magnetic ring is fixedly arranged on the inner peripheral surface of the rotor housing and is disposed opposite to the stator 213. One end of the first rotating shaft is connected to the bearing 217, and the other end is connected to the rotor housing. The wind wheel 222 is connected to the rotor housing. In this embodiment, the first magnetic ring can be fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the rotor housing by means of gluing or connecting with fasteners. One end of the first rotating shaft is connected to the bearing 217 inside the shielding cover 215, and the other end of the first rotating shaft can be connected and fixed to the rotor housing by means of connecting with fasteners or interference fit. The bearing 217 can play a role in stably supporting the first rotor 211A to ensure the stability of the rotation of the first rotor 211A. The wind wheel 222 and the rotor housing can be integrally formed, or they can be a split structure and then assembled and fixed. For example, the wind wheel 222 and the rotor housing can be sleeved and interference-fitted by stamping.

[0082] As Figure 10 shown, in one embodiment, the driving device 21 further includes a fixed shaft 216. One end of the fixed shaft 216 is connected to the pump housing 231, and the other end is connected to the shielding cover 215. The second rotor 211B includes a sleeve, a second rotating shaft, and a second magnetic ring that are sequentially sleeved on the periphery of the fixed shaft 216 from the inside to the outside. The second rotating shaft is connected to the pump impeller 232. In this embodiment, the fixed shaft 216 remains fixed relative to the shielding cover 215 and the pump housing 231. The sleeve is rotatably sleeved on the periphery of the fixed shaft 216. The second rotating shaft is fixed on the periphery of the sleeve. The second magnetic ring is fixed on the periphery of the second rotating shaft. A second magnetic circuit is formed between the second magnetic ring and the stator 213 through an air gap. The magnetic field in the second magnetic circuit drives the second magnetic ring to rotate, and then drives the second rotating shaft to rotate through the second magnetic ring, and drives the pump impeller 232 to rotate through the second rotating shaft, thereby realizing the water pump function.
