It is a type of water heater commonly used in people's lives.

[0003] The electric water heater panel is typically installed on the front of the heater and controls its operation. Because the panel contains wiring, some of which connects to the heater's internal components, waterproofing is crucial. Currently, the waterproofing of electric water heater panels typically consists of a single gasket, secured to the heater's housing with screws. This single gasket alone doesn't guarantee adequate waterproofing, nor does it facilitate easy assembly and disassembly of the panel, making subsequent panel repairs difficult. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] See also Figures 1-4 The utility model discloses a panel waterproof structure of an electric water heater, including a sealing mechanism 10. The front end of the sealing mechanism 10 is fitted with an electric water heater panel shell 80. The bottom end of the electric water heater panel shell 80 is fixedly connected to a hanging mechanism 20. The back of the electric water heater panel shell 80 is clamped with a sealing cover plate 30. The back of the sealing cover plate 30 is integrally connected with a pair of outer cylinders 40 tilted upward. The outer cylinders 40 extend into the interior of the electric water heater panel shell 80. A plurality of connecting mechanisms 70 are hung on the hanging mechanism 20.

[0023] Specifically, the interior of the electric water heater panel housing 80 is provided with a first sealing frame 50 fixedly connected to its inner wall, and the front of the sealing cover plate 30 is integrally connected to the second sealing frame 60. The back of the first sealing frame 50 contains a plurality of tooth grooves, and the front of the second sealing frame 60 contains a plurality of tooth blocks, which are tightly clamped on the tooth grooves. The interior of the first sealing frame 50 is made of magnet material, and the exterior of the first sealing frame 50 is made of magnetic rubber strip material. The interior of the second sealing frame 60 is made of metal iron material, and the exterior of the second sealing frame 60 is made of magnetic rubber strip material.

[0024] In this embodiment, the sealing performance between the sealing cover plate 30 and the electric water heater panel housing 80 can be improved, and the sealing cover plate 30 can be withdrawn, which facilitates subsequent maintenance of the interior of the electric water heater panel housing 80.

[0025] Specifically, the sealing mechanism 10 includes a sealing plate 11, the front of the sealing plate 11 is integrally connected to two inner cylinders 12 tilted upward, the inner cylinder 12 is inserted into the outer cylinder 40, the bottom end of the sealing plate 11 is fixedly connected to a pair of fixing parts 13, and the front of the sealing plate 11 is fixedly connected to a sealing pad 14 with glue.

[0026] In this embodiment, the sealing plate 11 is first spot-welded and fixedly connected to the outer shell of the electric water heater, and then glue is used to perform a waterproof seal. The connection is firm and the waterproof effect is good. The inner cylinder 12 can be inserted into the outer cylinder 40. The circuit is located in the inner cylinder 12, and because it is tilted upward, the circuit is not easily in contact with water, and the waterproof effect is good. At the same time, the sliding card connection of the electric water heater panel outer shell 80 can be realized, which is convenient for subsequent disassembly and assembly.

[0027] Specifically, the hanging mechanism 20 includes a long rod 21, both ends of the long rod 21 are fixedly connected to a fixing seat 22, the top of the fixing seat 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the electric water heater panel housing 80, the long rod 21 is provided with a plurality of equally distributed retaining rings 23, the retaining rings 23 are fixedly connected to the long rod 21, and the connecting mechanism 70 includes a pull rope 71, the upper and lower ends of the pull rope 71 are fixedly connected to hooks 72, wherein the upper hook 72 is suspended on the long rod 21, and the lower hook 72 is suspended on the fixing member 13.

[0028] In this embodiment, the force for pulling the electric water heater panel housing 80 downward can be increased, so that the electric water heater panel housing 80 can be tightly fitted with the sealing plate 11, thereby having good sealing performance. At the same time, after the connecting mechanism 70 is damaged, it is also convenient to replace it. Multiple connecting mechanisms 70 can be set, and some daily necessities or clothes can be hung on those not connected to the fixing part 13, which can increase the pressure that the electric water heater panel housing 80 can withstand and further improve the sealing performance.

[0029] The working principle and usage process of the present invention are as follows: when the electric water heater panel needs to be repaired, first remove the hook 72 from the fixing part 13, then support the electric water heater panel housing 80 to tilt it upward, separate the inner cylinder 12 from the outer cylinder 40, remove the sealing cover plate 30 that is clamped on the electric water heater panel housing 80, and after the repair is completed, re-clamp the sealing cover plate 30. At this time, the first sealing frame 50 and the second sealing frame 60 are magnetically attached and tightly clamped, support the electric water heater panel housing 80, so that the inner cylinder 12 is inserted into the outer cylinder 40, and slowly put it in at an angle, and finally hang the hook 72 on the fixing part 13.
