Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of water heater devices, and specifically relates to a new type of hidden cover for a water heater. Background Art

[0002] When installing a water heater, after the inlet and outlet water pipes are connected to the angle valve on the wall, in order to cover the exposed pipelines and pipeline joints, a shielding cover is installed at the position of the inlet and outlet water pipes to achieve an aesthetic effect. The shielding cover of the existing water heater is defaulted to be non-detachable after installation, so the connection structure of the existing shielding cover design makes the disassembly relatively complex. However, with the change of development needs, a filter bottle is added at the inlet water pipe position of the water heater. The function of the filter bottle is to filter impurities in the water. The filter bottle needs to be frequently disassembled and cleaned during normal use. Therefore, the installation method of the shielding cover is different from before, and a structure that is convenient for disassembly and installation is also required. At the same time, while the hidden cover can cover larger-volume components and cause itself to become larger, the problem of convenient placement in the packaging box also needs to be considered.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. 202322303060.8 discloses an electric water heater, which solves the problem of convenient installation and disassembly to a certain extent, but it cannot solve the problem of covering large-volume exposed components and being convenient for packaging and transportation at the same time.

[0004] In view of this, the present utility model is specifically proposed. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a new type of hidden cover for a water heater, which can effectively cover larger-volume exposed pipelines and other components of the water heater, and is convenient for disassembly, installation, packaging and transportation.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present utility model is:

[0007] The new type of hidden cover for a water heater includes two parts, a front cover and a rear cover, and the front cover and the rear cover are detachably connected; the front cover and the rear cover are detachably installed on the water heater shell.

[0008] Since the present utility model aims to solve the problems of hiding the newly added filter bottle on the water inlet pipeline of the water heater and facilitating the disassembly of the hiding cover, and at the same time, due to the addition of the filter bottle, the volume of the water heater components that need to be covered by the hiding cover increases, so the hiding cover also needs to be enlarged. Therefore, it is also necessary to consider the problem of convenient placement of the hiding cover when it is installed in the packing box. On the premise of solving these problems simultaneously, the novel hiding cover of the water heater of the present utility model adopts a detachable connection of two parts, namely a front cover and a rear cover. At the same time, the front cover and the rear cover are detachably installed on the water heater housing to solve this problem. By designing a larger hiding cover to be split into two parts, namely a front cover and a rear cover, it can meet the requirement of stacking and reducing the volume for convenient placement and transportation in the packing box. Through the detachable connection design of the front cover and the rear cover, it can meet the requirement of connecting the front cover and the rear cover as a larger whole to cover the large-volume components of the water heater. Through the detachable connection design of the front cover and the rear cover and the design of detachably installing the front cover and the rear cover on the water heater housing, it meets the requirement of facilitating the disassembly of the hiding cover to disassemble and clean the filter bottle.

[0009] Further, the front cover and the rear cover are connected by a plug-in method.

[0010] In order to conveniently combine the front cover and the rear cover into a whole hiding cover, the novel hiding cover of the water heater of the present utility model connects the front cover and the rear cover by a plug-in method. Since the hiding cover itself does not bear other weights but only its own weight, the plug-in method can meet the connection needs and can quickly and conveniently form a whole and be disassembled.

[0011] Further, the length after the front cover and the rear cover are plugged in is greater than the horizontal length between the inlet and outlet water pipes and the angle valve outside the water heater housing.

[0012] The novel hiding cover of the water heater of the present utility model is used to cover the exposed components such as the inlet and outlet water pipes outside the water heater. Therefore, the length of the hiding cover formed after the front cover and the rear cover are plugged in is greater than the horizontal length between the inlet and outlet water pipes and the angle valve outside the water heater housing, so as to include all the exposed inlet and outlet water pipes and the angle valve and hide them.

[0013] Further, a first connecting device is provided on the upper part of the front cover of the novel hiding cover of the water heater. The front cover is detachably installed on the water heater housing through the first connecting device; the first connecting device is integrally provided with the front cover or connected together after being formed separately.

[0014] A second connecting device is provided on the upper part of the rear cover of the novel hiding cover of the water heater. The rear cover is detachably installed on the water heater housing through the second connecting device, and the second connecting device is integrally provided with the rear cover or connected together after being formed separately.

[0015] When in use, the new hidden cover of the utility model water heater needs to be installed on the outer shell of the water heater. The new hidden cover of the water heater is divided into a front cover and a rear cover. Therefore, connecting devices need to be provided on both the front cover and the rear cover of the new hidden cover of the water heater to connect with the outer shell of the water heater, so as to install the whole new hidden cover of the water heater on the outer shell of the water heater.

[0016] In the utility model, a first connecting device is provided at the upper part of the front cover. The front cover is detachably installed on the outer shell of the water heater through the first connecting device. A second connecting device is provided at the upper part of the rear cover. The rear cover is detachably installed on the outer shell of the water heater through the second connecting device. For stable connection, the first connecting device is provided at the upper part of the end of the front cover far from the rear cover, and the second connecting device is provided at the upper part of the end of the rear cover far from the front cover.

[0017] Furthermore, the first connecting device at the upper part of the front cover is a hook. The second connecting device at the upper part of the rear cover is an elastic clamping device.

[0018] Since the new hidden cover of the water heater needs to be disassembled to facilitate the cleaning of the filter bottle, in order to make the new hidden cover of the water heater convenient to disassemble and install, the first connecting device at the upper part of the front cover is a hook, and the second connecting device at the upper part of the rear cover is an elastic clamping device. Due to the setting of the elastic clamping device, the elastic force can be overcome directly by manual plugging and unplugging to achieve plugging and disassembly, meeting the convenience of installation and disassembly of the new hidden cover of the water heater.

[0019] Furthermore, the elastic clamping device includes an elastic buckle and an insert that cooperate with each other. One of the elastic buckle and the insert is fixed on the rear cover, and the other is fixed on the outer shell of the water heater.

[0020] In the specific setting, the elastic clamping device includes an elastic buckle and an insert that cooperate with each other. One of the elastic buckle and the insert is fixed on the rear cover, and the other is fixed on the outer shell of the water heater. The insert is embedded into the elastic buckle to realize the combination of the elastic buckle and the insert, thereby connecting the rear cover to the outer shell of the water heater. The insert is disengaged from the elastic buckle to realize the separation of the elastic buckle and the insert, thereby removing the rear cover from the outer shell of the water heater.

[0021] Furthermore, the elastic buckle includes two arms that are oppositely arranged and can elastically change the relative distance. The two arms gradually approach each other from the end to form a flared opening, then inward is an arc section with opposite centers, and then inward is a straight arm or an arc section arm, but the distance between the two arms here is less than the maximum distance between the two arms of the arc section with opposite centers mentioned above.

[0022] In order to prevent the insert from being automatically removed when embedded in the elastic buckle, the elastic buckle includes two arms that are arranged oppositely and can change the relative distance elastically. The two arms gradually approach each other from the end to form a bell mouth. The setting of the neck makes the elastic buckle form a certain resistance to the insert, preventing the insert from automatically removing from the elastic buckle. The structural setting of the elastic buckle adopts an arc segment with opposite centers further inward. By using these two arc segments with opposite centers, the two arms of the elastic buckle can hold the insert. And the structural setting of the elastic buckle adopts a straight arm or an arc segment arm further inward. By setting the straight arm or the arc segment arm further inward, an elastic redundancy is provided, so that after the insert is embedded in the two arc segments with opposite centers of the elastic buckle, when the diameter of the insert is greater than the maximum spacing between the two arc segments with opposite centers of the insert, the two arc segments with opposite centers of the insert will not be broken when they are stretched open by the insert. However, the distance between the two arms of the straight arm or the arc segment arm further inward is less than the maximum spacing between the two arms of the aforementioned arc segment with opposite centers of the insert, in order to prevent the insert from being separated from the two arc segments with opposite centers of the insert and further embedded.

[0023] Furthermore, the insert is a cylinder with an extension rod, the extension rod extends radially from the cylinder, and the cylinder of the insert cooperates with the arc segment opposite to the center of the elastic buckle when embedded in the elastic buckle.

[0024] In order to make the insert better fit into and out of the elastic buckle, the insert includes a cylinder. Since the end of the elastic buckle includes a bell-shaped necking section, in order to meet the installation and matching of the necking section, the insert also includes an extension rod, which extends radially from the cylinder. The free end of the extension rod is connected to the water heater housing or the rear cover according to the installation requirements. When the cylinder of the insert is embedded in the elastic buckle, it matches with the arc section opposite to the center of the elastic buckle. The existence of the extension rod can provide space for the necking section of the elastic buckle when the elastic buckle and the insert are matched, so as to prevent the necking section of the elastic buckle from touching other components, resulting in the cylinder in the insert being unable to be embedded in the two arc sections opposite to the center of the elastic buckle.

[0025] Furthermore, the elastic buckle and the extension rod of the insert are adaptively arranged obliquely, and the angle range with the vertical direction is 5°-30°.

[0026] During installation, the front and rear covers of the new type of hidden cover of the water heater are connected to the water heater shell after being plugged in to form a whole, and since a hook is used to connect the front cover to the water heater shell, it is necessary to first hang the hook on the opening on the water heater shell, and then connect the rear cover to the water heater shell. At this time, since the front cover is connected to the water heater shell and the front and rear covers form a whole, the rear cover needs to be rotated upward with the front cover hook as the rotating axis during installation. Therefore, in order to make the connection between the rear cover and the water heater shell smoother and safer, the elastic buckles and the extension rods of the inserts are adaptively set obliquely, and the angle range with the vertical direction is 5°-30°.

[0027] After adopting the above technical solution, the utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0028] The novel hidden cover of the water heater of the utility model comprises two parts, a front cover and a rear cover, and the front cover and the rear cover are detachably connected; the front cover and the rear cover are detachably installed on the outer shell of the water heater. By designing a larger hidden cover to be split into two parts, namely the front cover and the rear cover, it can meet the requirement of stacking and reducing the volume for convenient placement and transportation in the packing box. Through the design of detachable connection between the front cover and the rear cover, it can meet the requirement of connecting the front cover and the rear cover as a larger whole to shield the large-volume components of the water heater. Through the design of detachable connection between the front cover and the rear cover and the design of detachably installing the front cover and the rear cover on the outer shell of the water heater, it meets the requirements of facilitating the removal of the hidden cover to remove and clean the filter bottle and facilitating the installation of the hidden cover after removal.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0037] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installed", "connected", and "coupled" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0038] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, the novel hidden cover of the water heater of the present utility model includes two parts, a front cover 2 and a rear cover 3. The front cover 2 and the rear cover 3 are detachably connected; the front cover 2 and the rear cover 3 are detachably installed on the water heater housing 1.

[0039] The front cover 2 includes a front wall, left and right side walls, and a bottom wall; the rear cover 3 includes left and right side walls and a bottom wall. The front cover 2 is in the front and the rear cover 3 is in the rear. The front cover 2 and the rear cover 3 are connected and installed below the water heater housing 1 to form an integral chamber with a through front wall, left and right walls, a bottom wall, and the water heater housing 1 as the top wall and the wall as the rear wall, covering and hiding the exposed components such as the water inlet and outlet pipelines 6 and pipeline connectors of the water heater.

[0040] Since the present utility model is to solve the problems of hiding the newly added filter bottle on the inlet and outlet water pipes of the water heater and the convenient disassembly of the hidden cover, and at the same time, due to the addition of the filter bottle, the volume of the water heater components that need to be covered by the hidden cover increases, so the hidden cover also needs to be enlarged. Therefore, it is also necessary to consider the problem of convenient placement of the hidden cover when it is installed in the packing box. On the premise of solving these problems at the same time, the novel hidden cover of the water heater of the present utility model adopts a detachable connection of two parts, namely the front cover 2 and the rear cover 3. At the same time, the front cover 2 and the rear cover 3 are detachably installed on the water heater shell 1 to solve this problem. By designing a larger hidden cover to be split into two parts, the front cover 2 and the rear cover 3, it can meet the requirement of stacking and reducing the volume for convenient placement and transportation in the packing box. Through the detachable connection design of the front cover 2 and the rear cover 3, it can meet the requirement of connecting the front cover 2 and the rear cover 3 as a larger whole to cover the large-volume components of the water heater. Through the detachable connection design of the front cover 2 and the rear cover 3 and the design that the front cover 2 and the rear cover 3 are detachably installed on the water heater shell 1, it meets the requirement of facilitating the disassembly of the hidden cover to disassemble and clean the filter bottle.

[0041] In this embodiment, the front cover 2 and the rear cover 3 are connected by a plug-in method.

[0042] In order to conveniently combine the front cover 2 and the rear cover 3 into a whole hidden cover, the novel hidden cover of the water heater of the present utility model connects the front cover 2 and the rear cover 3 by a plug-in method. Since the hidden cover itself does not bear other weights, only its own weight, the plug-in method can meet the connection needs and can quickly and conveniently form a whole and be disassembled.

[0043] The novel hidden cover of the water heater of the present utility model is to cover the exposed components such as the inlet and outlet water pipes outside the water heater. Therefore, the length of the hidden cover formed after the front cover 2 and the latter are plugged in is greater than the horizontal length between the inlet and outlet water pipes outside the water heater shell 1 and the angle valve, so as to include all the exposed inlet and outlet water pipes, filter bottles and angle valves and hide them.

[0044] The upper part of the front cover 2 of the novel hidden cover of the water heater is provided with a first connecting device 4, and the front cover 2 is detachably installed on the water heater shell 1 through the first connecting device 4; the first connecting device 4 is integrally provided with the front cover 2 or connected together after being formed separately.

[0045] The upper part of the rear cover 3 of the novel hidden cover of the water heater is provided with a second connecting device 5, and the rear cover 3 is detachably installed on the water heater shell 1 through the second connecting device 5. The second connecting device 5 is integrally provided with the rear cover 3 or connected together after being formed separately.

[0046] When in use, the new hidden cover of the utility model water heater needs to be installed on the outer shell 1 of the water heater. The new hidden cover of the water heater is divided into two parts, a front cover 2 and a rear cover 3. Therefore, connecting devices need to be provided on both the front cover 2 and the rear cover 3 of the new hidden cover of the water heater to connect with the outer shell 1 of the water heater, so as to install the new hidden cover of the water heater as a whole on the outer shell 1 of the water heater.

[0047] In the utility model, a first connecting device 4 is provided on the upper part of the front cover 2. The front cover 2 can be detachably installed on the outer shell 1 of the water heater through the first connecting device 4. A second connecting device 5 is provided on the upper part of the rear cover 3. The rear cover 3 can be detachably installed on the outer shell 1 of the water heater through the second connecting device 5. For stable connection, the first connecting device 4 is provided on the upper part of the end of the front cover 2 away from the rear cover 3, and the second connecting device 5 is provided on the upper part of the end of the rear cover 3 away from the front cover 2.

[0048] The first connecting device 4 on the upper part of the front cover 2 is a hook. The second connecting device 5 on the upper part of the rear cover 3 is an elastic clamping device. One first connecting device 4 is provided at each of the left and right ends of the upper part of the front cover 2, or a plurality of first connecting devices 4 are arranged at intervals from left to right on the upper part of the front cover 2. One second connecting device 5 is provided at each of the left and right ends of the upper part of the rear cover 3.

[0049] Since the new hidden cover of the water heater needs to be disassembled to facilitate cleaning the filter bottle, in order to make the new hidden cover of the water heater convenient to disassemble and install, the first connecting device 4 on the upper part of the front cover 2 is a hook, and the second connecting device 5 on the upper part of the rear cover 3 is an elastic clamping device. Due to the setting of the elastic clamping device, the insertion and disassembly can be achieved by directly overcoming the elastic force through manual plugging and unplugging, meeting the convenience of installation and disassembly of the new hidden cover of the water heater.

[0050] The elastic clamping device includes an elastic buckle 52 and an insert 51 that cooperate with each other. One of the elastic buckle 52 and the insert 51 is fixed on the rear cover 3, and the other is fixed on the outer shell 1 of the water heater.

[0051] In a specific setting, the elastic clamping device includes an elastic buckle 52 and an insert 51 that cooperate with each other. One of the elastic buckle 52 and the insert 51 is fixed on the rear cover 3, and the other is fixed on the outer shell 1 of the water heater. In this embodiment, the elastic buckle 52 is installed on the rear cover 3, and the insert 51 is installed on the outer shell 1 of the water heater.

[0052] The combination of the elastic buckle 52 and the insert 51 is realized by inserting the insert 51 into the elastic buckle 52, so as to connect the rear cover 3 to the outer shell 1 of the water heater. The separation of the elastic buckle 52 and the insert 51 is realized by the insert 51 being disengaged from the elastic buckle 52, so as to remove the rear cover 3 from the outer shell 1 of the water heater.

[0053] The elastic buckle 52 includes two arms that are arranged opposite to each other and can change the relative distance elastically. The two arms gradually approach each other from the end to form a bell mouth, and then the two arms are inwardly formed into an arc segment with the center of the circle opposite to each other, and then the two arms are inwardly formed into a straight arm or an arc segment arm, but the distance between the two arms here is less than the maximum distance between the two arms of the arc segment with the center of the circle opposite to each other, and the straight arm or arc segment arm inwardly formed is connected to the rear cover. In this embodiment, a straight arm is used inwardly formed, and the ends of the two straight arms away from the arc segment with the center of the circle opposite to each other are connected to form a U-shaped arm, and the U-shaped bottom of the U-shaped arm and the part of the straight arm close to the U-shaped bottom are fixed to the rear cover.

[0054] In order to prevent the insert 51 from being automatically removed from the elastic buckle 52 after being inserted into it, the elastic buckle 52 includes two arms that are arranged oppositely and can change their relative distances elastically. The two arms gradually approach each other from the end to form a bell mouth. The necking arrangement enables the elastic buckle 52 to form a certain resistance to the insert 51, preventing the insert 51 from automatically removing from the elastic buckle 52. The structural arrangement of the elastic buckle 52 adopts an arc segment with opposite centers further inwards. By using these two arc segments with opposite centers, the two arms of the elastic buckle 52 can hold the insert 51. In addition, the structural arrangement of the elastic buckle 52 adopts a straight arm or an arc segment arm further inwards. The arrangement of the straight arm or the arc segment arm further inwards provides an elastic redundancy, so that after the insert 51 is inserted into the two arc segments with opposite centers of the elastic buckle 52, when the diameter of the insert 51 is greater than the maximum distance between the two arc segments with opposite centers of the circle, the two arc segments with opposite centers of the circle are stretched open by the insert 51. However, further inwards, there are straight arms or arc-segment arms, and the distance between the two arms is smaller than the maximum distance between the two arms of the arc segments with opposite centers, in order to prevent the insert 51 from escaping from the two arc segments with opposite centers and being further embedded.

[0055] The insert 51 is a cylinder with an extension rod, which extends radially from the cylinder. When the cylinder of the insert 51 is embedded in the elastic buckle 52, it cooperates with the arc segment opposite to the center of the elastic buckle 52.

[0056] In order to make the insert 51 fit in and out of the elastic buckle 52, the insert 51 includes a cylinder. Since the end of the elastic buckle 52 includes a bell-mouthed necking section, in order to meet the installation and matching of the necking section, the insert 51 also includes an extension rod, which extends radially from the cylinder, and the free end of the extension rod is connected to the water heater housing 1 or the rear cover 3 according to the installation requirements. When the cylinder of the insert 51 is embedded in the elastic buckle 52, it matches with the arc section opposite to the center of the elastic buckle 52. The existence of the extension rod can provide space for the necking section of the elastic buckle 52 when the elastic buckle 52 and the insert 51 are matched, so as to prevent the necking section of the elastic buckle 52 from touching other components, so that the cylinder in the insert 51 cannot be embedded in the two arc sections opposite to the center of the elastic buckle 52.

[0057] Since the front cover 2 and the rear cover 3 of the new hidden cover of the water heater are inserted and formed into an integral body during installation and then installed on the water heater shell 1, and since the upper part of the front cover 2 is connected to the water heater shell 1 by a hook, it is necessary to first hang this hook on the opening of the water heater shell 1 and then connect the rear cover 3 to the water heater shell 1. At this time, since the front cover 2 is already connected to the water heater shell 1 and the front cover 2 and the rear cover 3 form an integral body, the rear cover 3 needs to rotate upward with the hook of the front cover 2 as the rotation axis during installation. Therefore, in order to make the connection between the rear cover 3 and the water heater shell 1 smoother and safer, the elastic buckle 52 and the extension rod of the insert 51 are adaptively inclined, and the included angle between them and the vertical direction ranges from 5° to 30°. In this embodiment, the included angle between the elastic buckle 52, the extension rod of the insert 51 and the vertical direction is 15°.

[0058] The new hidden cover of the water heater of the present utility model includes two parts, a front cover and a rear cover, and the front cover and the rear cover are detachably connected; the front cover and the rear cover are detachably installed on the water heater shell. By designing a larger hidden cover to be split into a front cover and a rear cover, it can meet the requirement of stacking and reducing the volume for convenient placement and transportation in the packaging box. Through the design of the detachable connection between the front cover and the rear cover, the overall hidden cover is larger, increasing the area that can block exposed components such as water pipes in the front and rear directions, and can meet the requirement of using the connection between the front cover and the rear cover as a larger whole to block large-volume components of the water heater. Through the design of the detachable connection between the front cover and the rear cover and the design of the detachable installation of the front cover and the rear cover on the water heater shell, it meets the requirements of facilitating the disassembly of the hidden cover to disassemble and clean the filter bottle and facilitating the installation of the hidden cover after disassembly.
