[0039] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides an atmosphere lamp installation structure for an electric water heater, which includes a base plate 1, a lampshade 2 and a lamp 3, wherein the base plate 1 is provided with a mounting groove 11, the mounting groove 11 has an opening, the opening passes through the bottom wall of the base plate 1, the lamp 3 is installed in the lampshade 2, and the inner groove wall of the mounting groove 11 and the lampshade 2 are provided with a snap-fitting groove 111, and the other is provided with an external snap-fitting buckle 221. When the lampshade 2 is inserted into the mounting groove 11 through the opening, the external snap-fitting buckle 221 is snap-fitted with the snap-fitting groove 111.

[0040] The atmosphere lamp mounting structure of the electric water heater is configured by providing a snap-fitting groove 111 in the inner groove wall of the mounting groove 11 and the lampshade 2, and an external snap-fitting groove 221 in the other, so that when the lampshade 2 is inserted into the mounting groove 11, the external snap-fitting groove 111 and the external snap-fitting groove 221 can be snap-fitted with each other, that is, when the lampshade 2 and the base plate 1 are installed, it is only necessary to insert the lampshade 2 into the mounting groove 11 to achieve the snap-fitting of the external snap-fitting groove 111 and realize the fixed installation of the lampshade 2; and when the lamp 3 needs to be replaced, it is only necessary to disengage the external snap-fitting groove 111 to achieve the removal of the lampshade 2, without removing the base plate 1, so that the lamp 3 can be quickly replaced; in addition, the atmosphere lamp mounting structure of the electric water heater avoids the use of screws between the lampshade 2 and the base plate 1, making disassembly and assembly more convenient.

[0041] like Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the lampshade 2 is provided with a receiving groove 21 for mounting on the lamp 3 , and the lamp 3 is mounted in the receiving groove 21 , so that the mounting structure of the lamp 3 and the lampshade 2 is simple and the lamp 3 is easy to mount.

[0042] Furthermore, an outer buckle 221 is provided on the outer side of the groove wall of the accommodating groove 21 , and a clamping groove 111 is provided on the inner groove wall of the installation groove 11 , which makes processing convenient and the manufacturing cost low.

[0043] In some other embodiments, the groove wall of the installation groove 11 may be provided with an external snap 221, and the lampshade 2 is provided with a snap-in groove 111. The external snap 221 itself has elastic deformation capability. When the lampshade 2 is inserted into the installation groove 11, the external snap 221 itself deforms, so that the lampshade 2 can be inserted into the installation groove 11, and the external snap 221 is snap-in to the snap-in groove 111.

[0044] Optionally, the groove wall of the accommodating groove 21 is provided with an elastic plate 22, that is, the elastic plate 22 is separated from the groove wall of the accommodating groove 21 on both sides along the length direction of the accommodating groove 21, so that the elastic plate 22 has a rebound ability, and the external clip 221 is provided on the outside of the elastic plate 22. When the lampshade 2 is inserted into the installation groove 11, the external clip 221 first abuts against the inner groove wall of the installation groove 11, and the elastic plate 22 elastically deforms inward under the above-mentioned force. When the external clip 221 enters the snap-fitting groove 111, the elastic plate 22 recovers, so that the external clip 221 is snap-fitted with the snap-fitting groove 111.

[0045] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the lamp 3 is T-shaped, which includes a lamp board 31 and a lamp body 32 vertically arranged on the lamp board 31; an inner clip 222 is provided on the inner side of the groove wall of the accommodating groove 21, and the lamp board 31 and the lamp body 32 are both arranged in the accommodating groove 21, and the light board 31 is clamped to the inner clip 222, so that the lamp 3 is installed in the accommodating groove 21 without falling out.

[0046] Furthermore, the inner clip 222 is arranged on the inner side of the elastic plate 22. By arranging the inner clip 222 on the inner side of the elastic plate 22, when the lamp 3 is installed in the accommodating groove 21, the lamp board 31 presses against the inner clip 222. The elastic plate 22 will produce elastic deformation outward under the pressure of the lamp board 31, so that the lamp board 31 can be smoothly clipped into the inner clip 222.

[0047] It should be noted that when installing the ambient light mounting structure of the electric water heater, first, the lamp 3 is installed in the receiving groove 21, and then the lampshade 2 is inserted into the mounting groove 11. In the ambient light mounting structure of the electric water heater, a gap is provided between the end surface of the lamp plate 31 of the lamp 3 along the width direction of the receiving groove 21 and the elastic plate 22, so that when the lampshade 2 is inserted into the mounting groove 11, the elastic plate 22 can elastically deform inward under the pressure of the outer clip 221. By providing both the outer clip 221 and the inner clip 222 on the elastic plate 22, the elastic plate 22 can drive the outer clip 221 and the inner clip 222 to move in position when elastically deformed, making installation more convenient.

[0048] Of course, in the case where the elastic plate 22 is not provided, the outer buckle 221 and the inner buckle 222 can be configured to have elastic deformation capabilities themselves.

[0049] Optionally, in order to increase the installation stability of the lamp 3 and the stability of the lampshade 2 when inserted into the installation groove 11, the accommodating groove 21 is provided with a plurality of elastic plates 22 on the two corresponding groove walls along its width direction, and each elastic plate 22 is provided with an outer snap 221 on the outer side, and an inner snap 222 on the inner side of each elastic plate 22. The multiple elastic plates 22 on one groove wall correspond one to one with the multiple elastic plates 22 on the other groove wall and are symmetrically arranged.

[0050] In some embodiments, in order to protect the lamp body 32, as shown in FIG. Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, a first limiting structure is provided at the bottom of the receiving groove 21. When the lamp 3 is installed in the receiving groove 21, the lamp body 32 is located between the lamp board 31 and the bottom of the receiving groove 21. The lamp board 31 is limited between the inner buckle 222 and the first limiting structure to limit the lamp 3. The lamp body 32 does not contact the bottom of the receiving groove 21, thereby improving the aesthetics and preventing the lamp body 32 from being damaged by collision.

[0051] Specifically, the first limiting structure includes a support column 23 arranged at the bottom of the accommodating groove 21, and the support column 23 abuts against the end surface of the lamp board 31 facing the bottom of the accommodating groove 21 to enable the support column 23 and the inner buckle 222 to limit the lamp board 31.

[0052] Furthermore, in order to improve the abutting stability of the support column 23 , a plurality of support columns 23 may be provided at the bottom of the accommodating groove 21 to abut against the lamp board 31 together.

[0053] In this embodiment, multiple support columns 23 and at least two groups of elastic plates 22 on the two groove walls of the accommodating groove 21 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, that is, each elastic plate 22 corresponds to one support column 23. By arranging the support column 23 close to the elastic plate 22, the internal buckles 222 on each support column 23 and the corresponding elastic plate 22 limit the two end faces of the lamp board 31, and the positioning of the lamp board 31 is more stable.

[0054] Optionally, a second limiting structure is also provided at the bottom of the accommodating groove 21, and the second limiting structure is used to limit the displacement of the lamp 3 along the length direction of the accommodating groove 21. By setting the second limiting structure to limit the lamp 3 along the length direction of the accommodating groove 21, the lamp 3 can be effectively prevented from moving along the length direction of the accommodating groove 21.

[0055] Specifically, the second limiting structure includes two limiting plates 24, which are respectively arranged at the two ends of the accommodating groove 21 along the length direction of the accommodating groove 21. When the lamp 3 is installed in the accommodating groove 21, the two limiting plates 24 can respectively abut against the two ends of the lamp board 31 along the length direction of the accommodating groove 21 to prevent the lamp 3 from moving.

[0056] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in order to facilitate the connection between the lamp 3 and the wires of the electric control board, a wiring terminal 311 is provided at one end of the lamp board 31 of the lamp 3 along the length direction of the accommodating groove 21. The wiring terminal 311 is connected to the wires, and a notch is provided at the end of the accommodating groove 21 corresponding to the wiring terminal 311. The notch can expose the wiring terminal 311 outside the accommodating groove 21, making it more convenient to connect the wires to the wiring terminal 311.

[0057] When the lamp 3 fails and needs to be replaced or maintained, the lampshade 2 needs to be removed from the mounting groove 11. In order to facilitate the removal of the lampshade 2, the inner groove wall of the mounting groove 11 is recessed with a process groove 112 corresponding to the snap-fit groove 111. The process groove 112 passes through the bottom wall of the base plate 1 along the depth direction of the mounting groove 11. The process groove 112 is connected to the snap-fit groove 111. Maintenance personnel can use tools such as a flat-blade screwdriver to insert the process groove 112 and extend it into the snap-fit groove 111 to abut against the external snap 221, so that the external snap 221 drives the elastic plate 22 to deform inward, so that the external snap 221 can be disengaged from the snap-fit groove 111, making it easy to disassemble the lampshade 2 and improving the efficiency of replacement and maintenance.

[0058] The present utility model also provides an electric water heater. Figure 1 It includes an electric water heater body 4 and the above-mentioned electric water heater atmosphere light mounting structure, and the base plate 1 is installed on the electric water heater body 4 to realize the installation connection between the electric water heater atmosphere light mounting structure and the electric water heater body 4.

[0059] The electric water heater is provided with the above-mentioned atmosphere lamp installation structure of the electric water heater, so that the lamp 3 is more convenient to replace or maintain when it needs to be replaced, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0060] In the specific contents of the above-mentioned specific implementation methods, the various technical features can be combined in any non-contradictory manner. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the above-mentioned technical features are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
