Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular relates to a horizontal kitchen appliance. Background Art
[0002] Water heaters are a common household appliance in people's daily lives. They come in various types, including electric, gas, heat pump, and solar. Electric water heaters are widely used due to their ease of use. They can be categorized by heating power as storage-type and instant-type. Storage-type water heaters, equipped with a water tank, offer high water flow and stable water temperature, making them more popular with households.
[0003] Conventional storage-type electric water heaters (commonly known as kitchen water heaters) are suitable for installation inside cabinets due to their relatively small water tanks. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 218455286 U describes a small horizontal kitchen water heater, which includes an outer shell, an inner tank, and an electric heating element. The inner tank is equipped with water inlet and outlet pipes, which are located at the top of the tank. However, in actual installation and use, since these small horizontal kitchen water heaters are installed inside a cabinet, the cabinet's height limits limit the connection requirements for the inlet and outlet pipes, resulting in a smaller inner tank height. This, in turn, results in a smaller electric water heater volume, impacting the user experience.
[0004] In view of this, how to design a technology to increase the volume of the kitchen treasure to improve the user experience is the technical problem to be solved by this application. Summary of the Invention

[0057] An electric water heater uses electricity as its main energy source. The high-temperature heat generated when powered on directly heats the water stored in the electric water heater to prepare hot water.
[0058] An electric water heater usually consists of a water tank, an electric heating component, and an electric control board. A water storage cavity is formed in the water tank to store the water to be heated. The electric heating component is inserted into the water storage cavity formed by the water tank. The electric control board is used to control the on and off operation of the electric heating component so that the water in the water tank is heated to the set temperature.
[0059] The water tank of an electric water heater generally consists of an outer shell and an inner tank, with an insulation layer between the outer shell and the inner tank. The outer shell is usually made of plastic to meet the requirements of aesthetic and diverse design. The inner tank can be made of metal or plastic depending on the needs.
[0060] In addition, the insulation layer formed between the outer shell and the inner liner is made of commonly used insulation materials such as asbestos, sponge, foam plastic, polyurethane foam, etc. In conventional technology, in order to obtain a good insulation effect, the insulation layer is usually formed by foaming.
[0061] Among them, for the inner tank with a metal body, the interior of the inner tank is prone to corrosion due to the influence of water quality. For this reason, a magnesium rod is also configured on the water tank, and the magnesium rod is inserted into the water storage cavity inside the water tank.
[0062] Because magnesium has the lowest potential in the electrochemical series and is physiologically non-toxic, it is ideal for use as a magnesium rod to protect the inner liner. The size of the magnesium rod directly affects the duration and effectiveness of the protective effect. The larger the magnesium rod, the better the protection and the longer the protection lasts.
[0063] The water tank is also provided with a water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe. The water inlet pipe is used to deliver cold water to the water storage cavity formed in the water tank, while the hot water in the water storage cavity is output from the water outlet pipe.
[0064] As for the electric control board, it is used to receive detection signals sent by relevant sensors (such as water temperature sensor, flow sensor), and at the same time, control the power on and off operation of the electric heating component.
[0065] When the electric water heater is working, the electric control board controls the electric heating component to be powered on for heating. When the water temperature in the water tank reaches the set value, the electric control board controls the electric heating component to be powered off.
[0066] Example 1, as Figures 1-14 As shown, this embodiment provides a horizontal kitchen appliance, comprising:
[0067] A housing 1, wherein the bottom of the housing 1 forms a mounting support surface 19;
[0068] An inner liner 2, the inner liner 2 being arranged in the outer shell 1;
[0069] An electric heating tube 3, which is arranged in the inner tank 2;
[0070] The inlet and outlet pipe group 4 includes a water inlet pipe 41 and a water outlet pipe 42 . The water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet pipe 42 are sealed and pass through the inner tank 2 .
[0071] Specifically, the horizontal kitchen treasure provided in one embodiment of the present application has a mounting support surface 19 formed on the bottom of its shell 1. When installed in the user's home, it is placed in a cabinet through the mounting support surface 19 to complete the installation without the need for hanging installation.
[0072] In order to reduce the overall height of the horizontal kitchen appliance and increase the volume of the inner pot 2 , the installation method of the inner pot 2 and the inlet and outlet pipe group 4 can also be improved as follows.
[0073] The inner pot 2 is laterally arranged in the outer shell 1; the electric heating tube 3 extends laterally and is arranged in the inner pot 2; the water outlet end of the water inlet pipe 41 is located in the inner pot 2 and is arranged in the lower area of the inner pot 2, and the water inlet end of the water outlet pipe 42 is located in the inner pot 2 and is arranged in the upper area of the inner pot 2; wherein, the water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 42 respectively extend to the outside of the outer shell 1 and extend laterally.
[0074] Specifically, the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet pipe 42 extend laterally from the outer shell 1 to the outside of the outer shell 1. The water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 41 is in a laterally extended state to facilitate connection with the water pipe in the cabinet without occupying height space. The water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 42 is also in a laterally extended state to facilitate connection with the water pipe in the cabinet without occupying height space.
[0075] In this way, on the one hand, for the horizontal kitchen water heater, during installation, as long as the top height of the shell 1 meets the installation requirements, the horizontal kitchen water heater can be installed in the cabinet without being restricted by the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet pipe 42 connecting pipe 45, so as to facilitate installation and have greater versatility; on the other hand, since the overall height of the shell 1 is not restricted by the height position of the water inlet and outlet pipes 42, the diameter of the inner pot 2 in the shell 1 can be further increased, and the volume of the inner pot 2 can be effectively increased while the length of the shell 1 remains unchanged.
[0076] Since the horizontal kitchen water heater is installed in a cabinet in a user's home, the height of the housing 1 is 200 mm to 500 mm to distinguish it from conventional wall-mounted electric water heaters.
[0077] By arranging the inner tank 2 horizontally, and extending the water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 42 horizontally to the outside of the outer shell 1, in this way, during the process of connecting with the external pipeline, the height space in the cabinet can be saved, thereby effectively increasing the diameter of the inner tank 2. Under normal circumstances, the height space in the cabinet is limited but has sufficient depth to meet the installation requirements of the horizontal kitchen water heater, so that the inner tank 2 of the horizontal kitchen water heater has sufficient length. When the length of the inner tank 2 remains the same, the increase in the diameter of the inner tank 2 can effectively increase the volume of the kitchen water heater to improve the user experience.
[0078] In one embodiment, since the water outlet pipe 42 and the water inlet pipe 41 are arranged horizontally as a whole, in order to improve the hot water output rate of the horizontal kitchen water heater, the water inlet end of the water outlet pipe 42 is bent upward to form a first elbow, and the opening of the first elbow is close to the top wall of the inner pot 2.
[0079] Specifically, the water inlet end of the water outlet pipe 42 in the inner tank 2 forms a first elbow, and the opening of the first elbow is located at the top of the inner tank 2. In this way, during the process of outputting hot water, hot water can be output from the top of the inner tank 2 to improve the hot water output rate.
[0080] At the same time, since the outlet pipe 42 is formed with a first elbow, the water inlet position of the outlet pipe 42 can be arranged as close to the top area of the inner liner 2 as possible. In this way, the outlet pipe 42 does not need to be as close to the upper wall of the inner liner 2 as possible, thereby solving the technical problem of poor welding quality caused by the increase of burrs due to the larger intersection line between the outlet pipe 42 and the inner liner 2.
[0081] Similarly, the requirement of increasing the hot water output rate can also be met by installing an outer lining tube 43 outside the water outlet pipe 42. Specifically, the outer lining tube 43 is located in the inner pot 2, and the free end of the outer lining tube 43 bends upward to form a second elbow 431. The opening of the second elbow 431 is close to the top wall of the inner pot 2.
[0082] Specifically, an outer lining tube 43 is sheathed on the outside of the water outlet pipe 42. The outer lining tube 43 extends into the free end of the inner container 2 to form a second elbow 431. The opening of the second elbow 431 is close to the top wall of the inner container 2. In this way, when hot water is output to the outside through the water outlet pipe 42, the hot water at the top of the inner container 2 flows into the outer lining tube 43 through the second elbow 431, flows into the water outlet pipe 42 through the water inlet end, and is transported to the outside of the housing 1.
[0083] At the same time, since the outer liner 43 is formed with a second elbow 431, the water inlet position of the second elbow 431 can be arranged as close to the top area of the inner liner 2 as possible. In this way, the water outlet pipe 42 does not need to be as close to the upper wall of the inner liner 2 as possible, thereby solving the technical problem of poor welding quality caused by the increase of burrs due to the larger intersection line between the water outlet pipe 42 and the inner liner 2.
[0084] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the installation of the outer liner 43 , an outer end portion of the outer liner 43 is provided with an outer flange structure 432 , and the outer flange structure 432 is overlapped on the outer side of the inner liner 2 .
[0085] Specifically, during the assembly process, the outer lining tube 43 is first inserted into the inner liner 2. After the outer lining tube 43 is inserted into place, it is positioned against the outer surface of the inner liner 2 through the outer flange structure 432 to meet the requirements of precise installation of the outer lining tube 43.
[0086] In one embodiment of the present application, a flange 21 is provided at one end of the inner container 2, and a mounting seat 33 is provided at the mounting end of the electric heating tube 3, and the mounting seat 33 is provided on the flange 21;
[0087] The other end of the inner tank 2 is provided with a first mounting tube 22 and a second mounting tube 23, and the first mounting tube 22 is arranged above the second mounting tube 23. The first mounting tube 22 and the second mounting tube 23 are respectively welded to the inner tank 2 and are respectively connected to the inner tank 2; the water outlet pipe 42 is sealed and inserted in the first mounting tube 22, and the water inlet pipe 41 is sealed and inserted in the second mounting tube 23.
[0088] Specifically, to facilitate installation of the inlet and outlet pipe group 4 and the electric heating pipe 3, a flange 21 is provided at one end of the inner container 2. The flange 21 satisfies the installation requirements of the electric heating pipe 3. A first mounting tube 22 and a second mounting tube 23 are provided at the other end of the inner container 2. The first mounting tube 22 and the second mounting tube 23 are welded to the inner container 2. In this way, the installation requirements of the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet pipe 42 can be met.
[0089] In another embodiment of the present application, two foam support members are further provided in the shell 1. The two foam support members are arranged opposite to each other and vertically arranged in the shell 1. The side walls of the foam support members form a concave surface, and the concave surface matches the end profile of the inner liner 2.
[0090] The inner liner 2 is sandwiched between the two foam support members. A foam layer is provided between the outer shell 1 and the inner liner 2 , and the foam layer is arranged between the two foam support members.
[0091] Specifically, because the horizontal kitchen appliance's inner container 2 is arranged horizontally, foam support members are installed at each end of the container 2 to provide good support and insulation. The recessed surfaces formed by the foam support members mate with the corresponding end surfaces of the container 2, allowing the ends of the container 2 to rest snugly against the recessed surfaces of the foam support members, improving assembly reliability. Furthermore, the foam support members also provide insulation at the ends of the container 2.
[0092] After the ends of the inner liner 2 are supported and insulated by foam support members, in order to improve the overall thermal insulation performance of the inner liner 2, a foaming material is filled between the two foam support members. The foaming material forms a foaming layer between the inner liner 2 and the outer shell 1 to improve the thermal insulation performance of the inner liner 2.
[0093] Furthermore, since the structures of the two ends of the inner container 2 are different, in order to facilitate the distinguishing assembly, the two foam support members are divided into a first foam member 13 and a second foam member 14;
[0094] The first foaming member 13 is provided with a first mounting opening 131 , and the flange 21 provided on the inner container 2 passes through the first mounting opening 131 ;
[0095] The second foaming member 14 is provided with a second mounting opening 141 and a third mounting opening 142 . The second mounting opening 141 is arranged above the third mounting opening 142 . The water outlet pipe 42 passes through the second mounting opening 141 , and the water inlet pipe 41 passes through the third mounting opening 142 .
[0096] Specifically, the inner tank 2 is provided with an end portion of a flange 21 assembled on the first foam part 13. The flange 21 is used to install the electric heating tube 3. In order to meet the power supply requirements of the electric heating tube 3, a first mounting port 131 is provided on the first foam part 13. The flange 21 passes through the first mounting port 131 to facilitate circuit wiring.
[0097] A water inlet pipe 41 and a water outlet pipe 42 need to be installed at the other end of the inner tank 2. To this end, a second installation port 141 and a third installation port 142 are provided on the second foam part 14. The first installation pipe 22 will pass through the second installation port 141, and the second installation pipe 23 will pass through the third installation port 142.
[0098] Furthermore, in order to improve the installation accuracy of the foam support and reduce the overflow and leakage of the foam material, the bottom of the housing 1 is provided with a first retaining rib 111 and a second retaining rib 112;
[0099] The first foaming member 13 is arranged on the rear side of the first retaining rib 111 , and the second foaming member 14 is arranged on the rear side of the second retaining rib.
[0100] Specifically, the first barrier rib 111 and the second barrier rib 112 can limit the positions of the first foam part 13 and the second foam part 14 to ensure that the first foam part 13 and the second foam part 14 are installed in place, and during the foaming process, the first barrier rib 111 and the bottom of the first foam part 13 form an overlapping area. Similarly, the second barrier rib 112 and the bottom of the second foam part 14 form an overlapping area, and the overlapping area is used to prevent overflow of the foaming material.
[0101] Furthermore, in order to improve the installation reliability of the inner liner 2 and ensure that the position of the inner liner 2 remains stable during the foaming process, a mounting base is also provided at the bottom of the inner liner 2, and the mounting base is fixedly connected to the outer shell 1.
[0102] Specifically, during assembly, the two ends of the inner liner 2 are supported by the first foam member 13 and the second foam member 14. Furthermore, the mounting bracket disposed at the bottom of the inner liner 2 is directly fixed to the bottom plate 11 of the outer shell 1 using screws or other means, thereby ensuring that the position between the inner liner 2 and the bottom plate 11 of the outer shell 1 is stable and immovable. This ensures that the force generated by the foaming material between the inner liner 2 and the outer shell 1 during the foaming process does not affect the position of the inner liner 2, thereby improving product quality.
[0103] The mounting base can be fixedly connected to the inner liner 2 by welding.
[0104] Furthermore, in order to improve assembly accuracy and assembly convenience, a positioning groove 113 is further provided at the bottom of the housing 1 , and the mounting base is also located in the positioning groove 113 .
[0105] Specifically, a mounting groove is also provided on the bottom plate 11 of the outer shell 1. When the inner liner 2 is assembled on the bottom plate 11 of the outer shell 1, the mounting groove on the bottom plate 11 can accommodate the mounting fixing seat at the bottom of the inner liner 2, so that pre-assembly can be achieved through the cooperation of the mounting fixing seat and the mounting groove, thereby improving the assembly accuracy and convenience.
[0106] In some embodiments of the present application, the water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 42 extend from the housing 1 in various positions, for example:
[0107] The water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 42 are arranged at the rear end of the housing 1. Alternatively, the water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 42 are arranged at the side of the housing 1.
[0108] Specifically, the water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 42 are arranged at the rear end of the housing 1 for description.
[0109] The water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 42 are both arranged at the rear end of the shell 1. When connecting the water pipes, the water pipes in the user's home are connected at the rear of the shell 1. After connection, the pipes are arranged at the rear of the shell 1 without occupying the space at the top of the shell 1.
[0110] In another embodiment, in order to facilitate the user to operate the horizontal kitchen water heater to adjust the temperature and to facilitate the subsequent operator to repair the electrical components, the front end of the shell 1 is provided with an electrical room, and the electrical control panel 15 is provided in the electrical room.
[0111] Specifically, the front end of the housing 1 is provided with an electrical room to install the electrical control board 15 , and a corresponding thermostat connected to the electrical control board 15 is also provided in the electrical room, and a knob 151 for adjusting the thermostat is provided outside the front end of the housing 1 .
[0112] Like this, after the user opens the cabinet, just can adjust the heating temperature through the knob 151 at the front of shell 1. Simultaneously, when needing to repair, the operator can also open the cabinet and carry out repair at the front of shell 1.
[0113] In the second embodiment, since the inner tank 2 is arranged horizontally in the outer shell 1, and the inlet and outlet water pipes 42 need to extend horizontally to the outside of the outer shell 1 and meet the requirements of horizontal pipe connection, the following structural improvements are made to the outer shell 1.
[0114] like Figure 3-Figure 8 As shown, the housing 1 includes a bottom plate 11 and an upper cover 12. The upper cover 12 is arranged on the bottom plate 11 from top to bottom. A mounting cavity is formed between the upper cover 12 and the bottom plate 11. The bottom surface of the bottom plate 11 forms a mounting support surface 19. The mounting support surface 19 is configured to place the horizontal kitchen treasure on the bottom surface of the cabinet inside the cabinet.
[0115] The inner container 2 is located in the installation cavity and is arranged on the bottom plate 11. The upper cover 12 covers the upper part of the inner container 2. A foaming space is formed between the upper cover 12, the bottom plate 11 and the inner container 2. A foaming layer is formed in the foaming space.
[0116] The water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 42 respectively extend to the outside of the upper cover body 12 and extend laterally.
[0117] Specifically, the shell 1 adopts a split structural design, which includes a base plate 11 and an upper cover 12. The base plate 11 is used to pre-assemble the inner liner 2, the first foam part 13 and the second foam part 14. Then, the upper cover 12 is assembled from the top to the bottom plate 11 to cover the inner liner 2, the first foam part 13 and the second foam part 14 pre-assembled on the base plate 11.
[0118] After the upper cover 12 is installed on the bottom plate 11, a foaming space is formed between the upper cover 12, the bottom plate 11, the inner liner 2, the first foaming member 13 and the second foaming member 14, and then the foaming material is filled into the foaming space to form a foaming layer.
[0119] The outer shell 1 is formed by cooperating with the upper cover 12 and the bottom plate 11 to install the inner liner 2 and other components. During the assembly process, the inner liner 2 and other components are first installed and fixed on the bottom plate 11, and then the upper cover is installed on the bottom plate 11 from above to cover the inner liner 2. The outer shell 1 adopts an upper and lower split design. During assembly, the upper cover 12 is assembled from the top to the bottom, which reduces the assembly difficulty and improves the assembly efficiency.
[0120] In one embodiment, in order to improve the connection reliability between the upper cover 12 and the bottom plate 11 , an upper flange structure 114 is provided on the edge of the bottom plate 11 , and the lower edge of the upper cover 12 is wrapped around the outer side of the upper flange structure 114 .
[0121] Specifically, when the upper cover body 12 is assembled with the base plate 11, the upper flange structure 114 formed on the edge of the base plate 11 is inserted into the inner edge of the upper cover body 12 so that the upper flange is against the inner wall of the upper cover body 12, so that the base plate 11 and the upper cover body 12 can be pre-assembled together.
[0122] Among them, a protruding connecting portion is also provided on the inner wall of the upper cover body 12, and a threaded hole is formed on the connecting portion. The screw passes through the mounting hole on the base plate 11 and is threadedly connected in the threaded hole, so that the base plate 11 and the upper cover body 12 are fixedly connected together.
[0123] In another embodiment, a mounting notch 121 is provided on the upper cover 12 , and the mounting notch 121 extends to the lower edge of the upper cover 12 ;
[0124] The water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 42 are located in the installation notch 121;
[0125] The housing 1 also includes a decorative plate 16, which is provided with two installation openings 161. The decorative plate 16 is arranged on the upper cover 12, and the decorative plate 16 covers the installation notch 121. The water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 42 respectively pass through the corresponding installation openings 161.
[0126] Specifically, in order to effectively reduce the difficulty of assembly, the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet pipe 42 connected to the inner liner 2 need to extend to the outside of the upper cover 12, and a mounting notch 121 is provided on the upper cover 12. During the process of assembling the upper cover 12 to the base plate 11, the mounting notch 121 provided on the upper cover 12 will avoid the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet pipe 42 extending from the inner liner 2. As a result, during the assembly process, the operator does not need to adjust the posture of the upper cover 12. The operator only needs to place the upper cover 12 vertically on the base plate 11 to complete the assembly of the upper cover 12. After the upper cover 12 is assembled to the base plate 11, the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet pipe 42 will be located in the mounting notch 121. Then, the decorative panel 16 is installed on the upper cover 12 to cover the mounting notch 121, and the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet pipe 42 will be inserted into the corresponding mounting openings 161.
[0127] The design of the mounting notch 121 not only satisfies the horizontal installation requirements of the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet pipe 42, but also effectively reduces the difficulty of assembly and improves assembly efficiency. The decorative panel 16 is installed on the upper housing 12 in a substantially vertical arrangement. The mounting openings 161 on the decorative panel 16 meet the installation requirements of the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet pipe 42. During assembly, after adjusting the position of the decorative panel 16, the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet pipe 42 are inserted into the corresponding mounting openings 161, and assembly is complete.
[0128] Furthermore, the decorative plate 16 is provided with a claw, and the upper cover 12 is provided with a clamping hole, and the clamping hole is arranged at the installation notch 121;
[0129] The clamping claw is clamped in the clamping hole.
[0130] Specifically, for the decorative panel 16 , in order to improve assembly efficiency and achieve screw-free fixation, a clamping claw can be provided on the decorative panel 16 , and the decorative panel 16 is clamped into the clamping hole through the clamping claw to achieve the clamping of the decorative panel 16 onto the upper cover 12 .
[0131] In another embodiment, the upper cover 12 is further provided with an inspection port;
[0132] The housing 1 further includes a front panel 17 and a mounting liner 18 , wherein the mounting liner 18 is disposed between the upper cover 12 and the bottom plate 11 , and the mounting liner 18 divides the mounting cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity;
[0133] The inspection port is connected to the first cavity, the inner container 2 is located in the second cavity, and the front panel 17 is detachably arranged on the upper cover 12 and covers the inspection port;
[0134] The horizontal kitchen heater further includes an electric control board 15 , which is electrically connected to the electric heating tube 3 . The electric control board 15 is located in the first cavity; the first cavity forms an electrical appliance room.
[0135] Specifically, to facilitate the formation of an electrical compartment for mounting electrical components such as the electrical control board 15, the housing 1 further includes a front panel 17 and a mounting liner 18. The mounting liner 18 partitions the mounting cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity, thereby enabling independent mounting of the liner 2 and the electrical control board 15. Furthermore, the front panel 17 is detachably mounted on the upper housing 12, making it easier for maintenance personnel to open the front panel 17 and expose the electrical control board 15 and other electrical components within the electrical compartment during subsequent inspections.
[0136] Furthermore, a first retaining rib 111 is provided on the bottom plate 11 , and a clamping groove 181 is provided at the lower portion of the mounting liner 18 , and the first retaining rib 111 is clamped in the clamping groove 181 .
[0137] Specifically, in order to facilitate the installation and positioning of the mounting liner 18, a card slot 181 is also provided at the lower part of the mounting liner 18. The mounting liner 18 is mounted on the first retaining rib 111 provided on the base plate 11 through the card slot 181 to realize the pre-assembly of the mounting liner 18 on the base plate 11.
[0138] Correspondingly, the first foam member 13 will be correspondingly abutted against the mounting liner 18 , and the mounting liner 18 will further be used to position and install the first foam member 13 .
[0139] Furthermore, in order to position the top of the mounting liner 18 , a positioning rib 122 is provided on the top wall of the upper cover 12 , and the top of the mounting liner 18 is overlapped on the positioning rib 122 .
[0140] Specifically, after the upper cover 12 is assembled on the base plate 11, the top of the mounting liner 18 will overlap the positioning rib 122, and after the first foam part 13, the second foam part 14 and the inner liner 2 are assembled on the base plate 11, the first foam part 13 will be tightly attached to the mounting liner 18, so that the top of the mounting liner 18 is tightly attached to the positioning rib 122.
[0141] Furthermore, an auxiliary opening 182 is provided on the mounting liner 18; a first foam part 13 and a second foam part 14 are also provided in the outer shell 1; a first mounting port 131 is provided on the first foam part 13, and a second mounting port 141 and a third mounting port 142 are provided on the second foam part 14, and the second mounting port 141 is arranged above the third mounting port 142; the flange 21 on the inner tank 2 passes through the first mounting port 131 and the auxiliary opening 182 in sequence, the first foam part 13 is clamped between the mounting liner 18 and the inner tank 2, the water outlet pipe 42 passes through the second mounting port 141, and the water inlet pipe 41 passes through the third mounting port 142.
[0142] Specifically, the flange 21 on the inner tank 2 passes through the first mounting opening 131 on the first foam part 13 and is located in the electrical room via the auxiliary opening 182, so that the electric heating tube 3 on the flange 21 is connected to the electric control board 15 in the electrical room through a cable.
[0143] In the third embodiment, in order to improve the safety and reliability of use, the electrical room is arranged at the front end of the housing 1 , while the water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 42 are arranged at the rear end of the housing 1 .
[0144] like Figure 1-Figure 7 、 Figure 14 As shown, by separating the electrical room and the inlet and outlet water pipes 42 from each other, the electrical room is arranged at the front end of the shell 1 to facilitate user operation, and the inlet and outlet water pipes 42 are completely isolated from the electrical room, which can avoid water leakage at the end connection position of the inlet and outlet water pipes 42 and cause damage to electrical components in the electrical room, thereby improving the reliability of the kitchen treasure.
[0145] Since the electrical room is arranged at the front end of the housing 1, the power supply cable needs to be connected to the electrical control board 15 in the electrical room. In order to achieve hidden wiring, the lower surface of the bottom plate 11 is provided with a wiring groove 115, which extends from the front to the back to the rear side of the housing 1;
[0146] The bottom plate 11 is further provided with a wire outlet hole 116 , which is connected to the wiring groove 115 ; the power supply cable connected to the electric control board 15 passes through the wire outlet hole 116 and extends out of the rear side of the housing 1 through the wiring groove 115 .
[0147] Specifically, an electrical room is formed at the front end of the housing 1 to install the electrical control board 15. The power supply cable connected to the electrical control board 15 is arranged in the wiring groove 115 through the outlet hole 116 from the electrical room, and finally passes through the wiring groove 115 to the rear end of the housing 1.
[0148] In this way, after the horizontal kitchen treasure is installed in the cabinet of the user's home, the power supply cable will be arranged at the back of the shell 1. In this way, there is no cable leading out from the front end of the shell 1, which is more conducive to optimizing the appearance.
[0149] Furthermore, a wiring tube 117 is provided on the base plate 11 . The wiring tube 117 is arranged vertically and communicates with the wire outlet hole 116 . The power supply cable passes through the wiring tube 117 .
[0150] Specifically, since the horizontal kitchen appliance is placed in a cabinet, if the basin above the cabinet overflows and causes water to accumulate at the bottom of the cabinet where the housing 1 is located, the accumulated water will flow through the wiring groove 115 into the wire outlet hole 116. However, since the upper surface of the bottom plate 11 is also provided with a vertically arranged wiring tube 117, the height of the wiring tube 117 is higher than the upper surface of the bottom plate 11. This way, even if water accumulates in the cabinet, the water level will not be higher than the top of the wiring tube 117, thus preventing the accumulated water from entering the appliance compartment through the wire outlet hole 116, further improving operational reliability.
[0151] In another embodiment, a wire blocking portion 118 is further provided on the bottom plate 11 . The wire blocking portion 118 extends perpendicularly to the length direction of the wiring groove 115 , and a gap is formed between the free end of the wire blocking portion 118 and the groove wall of the wiring groove 115 .
[0152] Specifically, the wire blocking portion 118 is arranged at one edge of the wiring groove 115 and extends toward the other edge of the wiring groove 115. A gap is formed between the free end of the wire blocking portion 118 and the other edge of the wiring groove 115. The distance of the gap will be smaller than the diameter of the power supply cable and ensure that the power supply cable can enter the wiring groove 115 through the gap after being extruded and deformed.
[0153] In one embodiment, a transport and lifting portion 119 is further provided on both sides of the bottom plate 11 . The transport and lifting portion 119 is an upward concave structure formed on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 11 .
[0154] Specifically, to facilitate the operator in carrying the horizontal kitchen appliance, a carrying and lifting portion 119 may be provided on the bottom plate 11. The carrying and lifting portion 119 is formed on the bottom plate 11 and is concave upward. During the carrying process, the user inserts his hand into the carrying and lifting portion 119 to lift and move the horizontal kitchen appliance.
[0155] In the fourth embodiment, for a horizontal kitchen appliance, in order to reduce the overall height while also ensuring efficient heating of the electric heating tube 3 in the inner pot 2, the following structural and installation position improvements were made to the electric heating tube 3 to ensure that the water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet pipe 42 are arranged horizontally in the inner pot 2 and that the electric heating tube 3 does not interfere with the water inlet pipe 41.
[0156] like Figure 10-13 As shown, the electric heating tube 3 includes a straight support section 31 and a curved heating section 32, and the curved heating section 32 is connected to the straight support section 31;
[0157] The straight support end is fixedly mounted on the flange 21 on the inner liner 2 , the curved heating section 32 is offset toward the side wall of the inner liner 2 and arranged on one side of the water inlet pipe 41 , and the curved heating section 32 is located at the bottom of the inner liner 2 .
[0158] Specifically, the end of the linear support section 31 is fixed to a mounting base 33, which secures it to the flange 21 of the inner liner 2. The linear support section 31 supports the curved heating section 32. The curved heating section 32, by virtue of its curved, extended structure, is positioned below the inner liner 2. This curved heating section 32 heats the water from the bottom of the inner liner 2, improving the heating efficiency of the water in the inner liner 2.
[0159] The curved heating section 32 is arranged close to the bottom area of the inner container 2 .
[0160] In addition, to avoid interference with the water inlet pipe 41 at the bottom, the curved heating section 32 is offset from one side of the inner pot 2. In this way, although the electric heating pipe 3 and the water inlet pipe 41 are both arranged horizontally in the inner pot 2, the offset installation of the electric heating pipe 3 can avoid installation interference and ensure heating efficiency.
[0161] Furthermore, in order to improve the hot water output rate and realize instant water supply, the electric heating tube 3 also includes an extended heating section (not shown), which extends to the top of the inner tank 2 and is arranged close to the water outlet pipe 42.
[0162] Specifically, the electric heating tube 3 may also be provided with an extended heating section extending upward and arranged around the water outlet pipe 42. The extended heating section can heat the water entering the water outlet pipe 42 and the water around the water outlet pipe 42, thereby realizing instant water supply.
[0163] The extended heating section can be connected to the curved heating section 32 and extend upward from the curved heating section 32 to the water outlet pipe 42. Alternatively, the extended heating section can be independent of the curved heating section 32 and can be a separate heating pipe body, with the end of the extended heating section fixedly mounted on the mounting base 33.
[0164] In addition, the extended heating section is also wrapped around the periphery of the water outlet pipe 42 .
[0165] Specifically, the extended heating section can be wrapped around the periphery of the water outlet pipe 42 to increase the overall length of the extended heating section, thereby improving the heating efficiency and heating speed.
[0166] In some embodiments of the present application, a heat insulating pad 24 is further provided between the inner liner 2 and the foam support member.
[0167] Specifically, because the liner 2 is arranged horizontally and has a relatively small overall height, the foam support member provided at the end of the liner 2 is in close contact with the liner 2. During the dry-burn test, the temperature at the top of the liner 2 rises rapidly, reaching 200°C within a short period of time. However, the foam support member is typically made of foam and is easily affected by high temperatures and melts.
[0168] To this end, a heat insulating pad 24 is provided at at least one end portion of the inner container 2 to protect the foam support.
[0169] Normally, the electric heating tube 3 distributed at the flange 21 of the inner tank 2 is a straight support section 31, and its heat generation is smaller than that of the curved heating section 32. Since the curved heating section 32 is close to the position where the fixed water inlet pipe 41 and the water outlet pipe 42 are installed on the inner tank 2, the heat generation of the curved heating section 32 is larger. Therefore, an insulation pad 24 is provided at least between the inner tank 2 and the second foam part 14.
[0170] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the installation and positioning of the thermal insulation pad 24, the thermal insulation pad 24 can be bonded to the outer surface of the inner liner 2.
[0171] Alternatively, the thermal insulation pad 24 is provided with a positioning portion 241 , and correspondingly, the second foaming member 14 is provided with a positioning matching portion 143 .
[0172] Specifically, during the actual assembly process, the thermal insulation pad 24 will be attached to the end of the inner liner 2 provided with the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe, and the inner liner 2 will be clamped between the first foam part 13 and the second foam part 14. When the inner liner 2 is assembled between the first foam part 13 and the second foam part 14, the positioning portion 241 of the thermal insulation pad 24 cooperates with the positioning matching portion 143 on the second foam part 14 to position the thermal insulation pad 24, so as to ensure that the thermal insulation pad 24 can be accurately positioned, thereby playing a good thermal insulation role at the position where the inner liner 2 needs to be insulated, and playing a role of thermal insulation protection for the second foam part 14.
[0173] The positioning portion 241 may be a positioning protrusion, and correspondingly, the positioning matching portion 143 is a positioning groove formed on the second foam part 14 . When the positioning protrusion is inserted into the positioning groove, the thermal insulation pad 24 can be positioned and installed.
[0174] Preferably, the thermal insulation pad 24 covers the concave surface of the second foaming member 14 , thereby completely isolating the second foaming member 14 from the inner liner 2 .
[0175] In another embodiment of the present application, the horizontal kitchen appliance further includes a temperature sensing component, which includes a temperature measuring tube 26 and a temperature sensor. The temperature measuring tube is arranged at the end of the inner pot 2.
[0176] Specifically, the temperature sensing component extends into the inner tank 2 through the temperature measuring tube, so as to measure the temperature of the water in the inner tank 2 through the temperature sensor.
[0177] The temperature measuring tube can be fixed on the mounting base 33 so as to be supported and installed by the mounting base 33 .
[0178] Alternatively, the temperature measuring tube is directly fixed on the inner container 2 and offset obliquely above the flange 21. In this way, during the dry-burning test, since the temperature measuring tube is closer to the top of the inner container 2, the temperature sensor can detect the temperature of the top of the inner container 2 more timely and effectively.
[0179] In another embodiment of the present application, a thermostatic valve 44 may be provided to achieve constant temperature water discharge. Specifically, the outlet end of the water outlet pipe 42 is provided with a thermostatic valve 44, and the inlet end of the water inlet pipe 41 is provided with a tee. A connecting pipe 45 is provided between the thermostatic valve 44 and the tee.
[0180] Specifically, the thermostatic valve 44 connected to the water outlet pipe 42 is also connected to the tee pipe of the water inlet pipe 41 through the connecting pipe 45. In actual use, when the outlet water temperature of the water outlet pipe 42 is higher than the set temperature of the thermostatic valve 44, part of the cold water flowing into the tee pipe enters the thermostatic valve 44 for automatic adjustment of the water temperature.
