[0031] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an electric water heater, comprising a heater assembly 1 capable of blowing warm air. The electric water heater also includes a housing assembly 2 and a hanger 3. The housing assembly 2 includes a housing 21 and two mounting bases 22 disposed on either side of the housing 21. The housing 21 has an inner cavity 211 for accommodating an inner container, and the heater assembly 1 is disposed at the bottom of the housing 21. The mounting base 22 has a snap-fit structure. Hanging rods 31 at both ends of the hanger 3 are removably connected to the mounting base 22 via the snap-fit structure. The frame 32 of the hanger 3 is located below the heater assembly 1, allowing items on the frame 32 to be quickly dried. The snap-fit structure facilitates assembly and disassembly. When the hanger 3 is not in use, it can be removed by releasing the snap-fit structure from the mounting base 22, eliminating the need for additional space. When the hanger 3 is needed again, it can be reattached to the mounting base 22 using the snap-fit structure. This makes it convenient and quick to use, enhancing the user experience.

[0032] In this embodiment, the hanger 3 has a frame body 32 and hanging rods 31 connected to both ends of the frame body 32 to form a U-shaped structure, which is relatively stable; the frame body 32 and the hanging rod 31 are both flat rod-shaped structures, which have the advantage of being lightweight.

[0033] The warm air assembly 1 is installed at the bottom of the housing assembly 2 through the base 215. The specific structure and warm air blowing function of the warm air assembly 1 can be set with reference to the existing technology, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0034] The mounting base 22 includes a base body 221 and an end cap 222 disposed on the housing 21. The base body 221 and the end cap 222 are detachably connected by a snap-fit structure, and one end of the hanging rod 31 is clamped between the base body 221 and the end cap 222. By removing the snap-fit structure between the base body 221 and the end cap 222, the hanger 3 can be removed or installed.

[0035] Specifically, the snap-fit structure includes a first snap-fit component 2221 and a first slot 2211. One of the base body 221 and the end cover 222 is provided with a first snap-fit component 2221, and the other is provided with a first slot 2211. The first snap-fit component 2221 is snapped into the first slot 2211 and an accommodating space for accommodating the hanging rod 31 is formed between the base body 221 and the end cover 222.

[0036] For example, in one embodiment, the base 221 is provided with a first slot 2211 , and the end cover 222 has a first latch 2221 . When the first latch 2221 is engaged in the first slot 2211 , the hanger 3 is installed between the base 221 and the end cover 222 .

[0037] To ensure reliable installation of the hanger 3, one of the base 221 and the end cap 222 is provided with a mounting post 2222, and the other has a socket 2212. Both hanger rods 31 have connecting holes 311. Both hanger rods 31 are elastic, and the mounting post 2222 is sequentially inserted into the connecting holes 311 and the socket 2212. Through the connection between the connecting holes 311 and the mounting post 2222, the hanger 3 transfers its own weight and bearing capacity to the housing assembly 2, ensuring reliable installation.

[0038] In order to further improve the load-bearing capacity of the hanger 3, a plurality of plug-in columns 2222 are provided, a plurality of sockets 2212 are opened, and the plurality of plug-in columns 2222 and the plurality of sockets 2212 correspond one to one, and a plurality of connecting holes 311 are correspondingly provided, and the plurality of plug-in columns 2222 are respectively inserted into the corresponding sockets 2212 and connecting holes 311.

[0039] For example, Figure 2 As shown in FIG, the base 221 defines two insertion holes 2212. An end cap 222 is positioned outside the housing 21. Two insertion posts 2222 are positioned on the side of the end cap 222 facing the base 221. The two insertion posts 2222 are arranged vertically, corresponding one-to-one with the two insertion holes 2212. When the end cap 222 is positioned outside the housing 21, the insertion posts 2222 face inward and do not protrude from the housing assembly 2, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the base 221 has sidewalls 2213 surrounding the accommodating space. The end cap 222 abuts the end surface of the sidewalls 2213 to seal the accommodating space. A notch 22131 is defined at the bottom of the sidewalls 2213, connecting the accommodating space. The hanging rod 31 is clamped upward within the accommodating space through the notch 22131. The enclosed arrangement of the sidewalls 2213 provides a relatively sealed accommodating space, reducing the ingress of impurities such as smoke and dust, keeping the hanging rod 31 clean, and enhancing the aesthetics of the mounting base 22.

[0041] In one embodiment, the snap-fit structure includes a plurality of first snap-fit members 2221 and a plurality of corresponding first snap-fit slots 2211. The plurality of first snap-fit members 2221 are spaced apart on the inner side of the end cap 222, and the plurality of first snap-fit slots 2211 are spaced apart in the base 221. To ensure that the first snap-fit members 2221 and the corresponding first snap-fit slots 2211 are aligned for quick connection, one of the base 221 and the end cap 222 is provided with a positioning protrusion 2223, and the other has a positioning slot. The positioning protrusion 2223 can be inserted into the positioning slot, thereby ensuring the relative position accuracy between the base 221 and the end cap 222.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to simplify the structure, the notch 22131 can be used as a positioning groove. Accordingly, the end cover 222 has a protruding positioning protrusion 2223, and the positioning protrusion 2223 is embedded in the notch 22131 to achieve positioning constraints between the base body 221 and the end cover 222. Moreover, the positioning protrusion 2223 will not completely close the notch 22131, ensuring that the hanging rod 31 can pass through the notch 22131 and be arranged in the accommodating space.

[0043] The housing 21 includes a main housing 213 and two cover plates 214. The mounting base 22 is provided on the cover plates 214. The two cover plates 214 are respectively connected to both sides of the main housing 213. One of the main housing 213 and the cover plates 214 is provided with a second latch 2141, and the other is provided with a second latch groove 2131. The second latch 2141 is engaged with the second latch groove 2131, so that the cover plates 214 and the main housing 213 can be quickly disassembled. For example, Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the second latching member 2141 is disposed on the cover plate 214 , and the second latching slot 2131 is disposed on the main housing 213 .

[0044] To facilitate installation and maintenance of the liner, a liner mounting hole 2132 is formed through at least one side of the main housing 213. The cover plate 214 is connected to the main housing 213 to block the liner mounting hole 2132. A plurality of second fasteners 2141 are provided, spaced apart along the circumference of the liner mounting hole 2132. The plurality of second fasteners 2141 engage with each other in a one-to-one correspondence, thereby ensuring that the cover plate 214 achieves a good seal along the entire circumference of the liner mounting hole 2132.

[0045] The shape and number of the second locking members 2141 are for illustration only and are not limited to the drawings of this embodiment.

[0046] 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.

[0047] The specific contents of the above-mentioned specific embodiments only express several embodiments of the present invention. Although the description is relatively specific and detailed, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
