[0035] By arranging the side plate structure 100 in the water heater shell, the first half hole 141 of the side plate in the side plate structure 100 is matched with the second half hole 142 of the valve plate 130 to form the supporting hole 140, and the pipeline 410 of the pipeline assembly 400 is supported in the supporting hole 140, so that the pipeline 410 is convenient to assemble and disassemble, reliable support of the pipeline 410 is realized, and the difficulty of assembly and disassembly is greatly reduced.

[0036] The structure of the water heater shell will be described below.

[0037] Figure 3 The structure of the water heater shell provided in the embodiment is shown in the figure. Figure 4 The structure of the water heater shell provided in the embodiment is shown in the figure. Please continue to refer to Figure 2 , and combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the embodiment, the water heater shell includes a side plate structure 100, specifically, the side plate structure 100 includes a plurality of side plates arranged in sequence, and a valve plate 130 is arranged between any two adjacent side plates, wherein the side plate is provided with at least one first half hole 141 at the edge adjacent to the valve plate 130, the valve plate 130 is provided with a second half hole 142 at the edge adjacent to the side plate, the number and position of the second half hole 142 correspond to the number and position of the first half hole 141, and the second half hole 142 is matched with the first half hole 141 to form a supporting hole 140 for supporting the pipeline 410; the side plate and the valve plate 130 are detachably connected.

[0038] By arranging the side plate structure 100 mainly composed of a plurality of side plates arranged in sequence and a valve plate 130 arranged between adjacent two side plates, when the pipeline 410 needs to be installed in the side plate structure 100, the side plate can be fixed first, the pipeline 410 is put into the first half hole 141 of the side plate, and then the valve plate 130 is installed on the side plate, and the second half hole 142 of the valve plate 130 is matched with the above-mentioned first half hole 141 to form the supporting hole 140 for supporting the pipeline 410.

Moreover, the pipeline support ring 200 can be used to fill the gap between the pipeline 410 and the plate body, thereby reducing impurities from entering the inside of the water heater shell.

[0049] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the embodiment, the outer circumferential surface of the pipeline support ring 200 is provided with an annular clamping groove 210, and the first side plate 110, the second side plate 120 and the valve plate 130 are clamped in the annular clamping groove 210.

[0050] The first side plate 110, the second side plate 120 and the valve plate 130 are clamped in the annular clamping groove 210 on the outer circumferential surface of the pipeline support ring 200, so that after the pipeline support ring 200 is assembled, the annular clamping groove 210 can be used for axial limiting to prevent the pipeline support ring 200 from falling out of the support hole 140.

[0052] The tapered section 230 is arranged to guide the installation of the tapered section 230 in the axial direction when the tapered section 230 is installed in the support hole 140.

[0053] Please continue to refer to Figure 6 In the embodiment, the pipeline support ring 200 is provided with an opening slot 240, wherein the opening slot 240 penetrates the two end surfaces of the pipeline support ring 200 in the axial direction.

[0055] In the embodiment, the material of the pipeline support ring 200 is rubber.

[0056] By setting the material of the pipeline support ring 200 as rubber, on the one hand, the wear between the pipeline 410 and the pipeline support ring 200 can be reduced, thereby protecting the pipeline 410, and on the other hand, it is also beneficial for the pipeline support ring 200 to deform in the installation process to enable the pipeline support ring 200 to be smoothly installed into the support hole 140, and to restore to its form when not under stress after installation to enable the pipeline support ring 200 to fit the support hole 140.

[0057] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 In the embodiment, the valve plate 130 is clamped and fixed with the second side plate 120.

[0058] The above connection form of the valve plate 130 and the second side plate 120, on the one hand, is beneficial for quick assembly and disassembly of the valve plate 130 and the second side plate 120, thereby improving the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the water heater shell, and on the other hand, can also play a positioning role for the valve plate 130 during installation.

Please continue to refer to Figure 4 and in combination with Figure 7 In the embodiment, the second side plate 120 is provided with a plurality of clamping holes 121, and the second edge 132 is provided with a plurality of clamping tongues 133, wherein the number and position of the clamping tongues 133 correspond to the number and position of the clamping holes 121, and the plurality of clamping tongues 133 are respectively and one-to-one correspondingly clamped in the plurality of clamping holes 121.

[0060] This form of connecting the valve plate 130 and the second side plate 120 by using the mutual cooperation of the plurality of clamping tongues 133 and the plurality of clamping holes 121 increases the number of clamping points between the valve plate 130 and the second side plate 120, on the one hand, ensures the connection reliability of the valve plate 130 and the second side plate 120, and on the other hand, also can play a structural restriction for the valve plate 130 at the connection between the valve plate 130 and the second side plate 120 to reduce the deformation of the valve plate 130.

[0061] In the embodiment, the first side plate 110 and the valve plate 130 are fixed by a threaded connection assembly (not shown in the figure).

[0065] Specifically, the threaded connecting assembly can include a connecting bolt and a fastening nut, wherein the connecting bolt is locked by the fastening nut after passing through the first connecting hole 1341 and the second connecting hole 1111, thereby achieving detachable fixed connection of the valve plate 130 and the first side plate 110.

[0066] Please continue to refer to Figure 7 In the embodiment, the water heater shell can further include a back plate 300, and specifically, the second side plate 120 and the back plate 300 are integrally formed.

[0067] By integrally forming the second side plate 120 and the back plate 300, on the one hand, the number of components of the water heater shell can be reduced to improve assembly efficiency, and on the other hand, the connection reliability of the back plate 300 and the side plate structure 100 can be improved, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the water heater shell.
