[0039] In related technologies, to solve the noise leakage from the rear air inlet of the gas water heater in the existing solution, a back cover is installed on the rear air inlet of the gas water heater. An air intake space is formed between the back cover and the back of the gas water heater. Sound-absorbing cotton is placed in the air intake space. The back cover surrounds the noise transmitted from the back of the gas water heater and the noise leaking from the air inlet. The sound-absorbing cotton then absorbs the noise, thereby reducing the noise transmitted from the periphery of the gas water heater. However, the existing back cover is fixed to the back of the gas water heater with screws. Since a large number of screws are required, each screw needs to be tightened one by one with a locking tool, resulting in low assembly efficiency of the back cover.
[0040] To solve the above technical problems, the following will be combined with... Figures 3 to 10 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.
[0041] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a gas-fired water heater is provided, including a housing 301 and a back cover 4.
[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, an air inlet 3011 is provided on the back of the housing 301. The back of the housing 301 is provided with a first magnetic attraction element.
[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the back cover 4 is provided with an external air inlet structure 402. The back cover 4 is covered on the back of the housing 301, and an air inlet space 5 is formed between the back cover 4 and the back of the housing 301. The air inlet 3011 is connected to the external air inlet structure 402 through the air inlet space 5.
[0044] It is understandable that the external air inlet structure 402 can be a complete air inlet opened on the back shell itself, and the air inlet of the back shell is connected to the air inlet 3011 of the shell 301 through the air inlet space 5. Alternatively, the external air inlet structure 402 and the back of the shell 301 can enclose each other to form an air inlet, and the air inlet formed by the external air inlet structure 402 and the back of the shell 301 can be connected to the air inlet 3011 of the shell 301 through the air inlet space 5.
[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the back shell 4 is provided with a second magnetic member 6. The first magnetic member and the second magnetic member 6 are connected by magnetic attraction so that the back shell 4 is attracted and fixed to the back of the shell 301.
[0046] This gas-fired water heater has a first magnetic suction component on the housing 301 and a second magnetic suction component 6 on the back cover 4 corresponding to the first magnetic suction component. When installing the back cover 4 on the back of the housing 301, simply bring the back cover 4 close to the back of the housing 301, and the back cover 4 will be magnetically attached to the back of the housing 301 by the first magnetic suction component and the second magnetic suction component 6. This allows the back cover 4 to be installed on the housing 301 of the gas-fired water heater, which facilitates the installation and removal of the back cover 4, reduces the number of screws used, simplifies the assembly process of the back cover 4, improves the assembly efficiency of the back cover 4, and also facilitates later maintenance and replacement.
[0047] Specifically, the first magnetic attractor and the second magnetic attractor 6 can both be magnets, or the first magnetic attractor is a ferromagnetic metal part on the back of the housing 301 or the back of the housing 301 is provided with a ferromagnetic metal part, then the second magnetic attractor 6 is a magnet; or the first magnetic attractor is a magnet, then the second magnetic attractor 6 is a ferromagnetic metal part on the back shell 4 or the back shell 4 is provided with a ferromagnetic metal part.
[0048] For example, the first magnetic component is a ferromagnetic metal part on the back of the housing 301, and the second magnetic component 6 is a magnet. When the back cover 4 is installed, the magnet on the back cover 4 can be attracted to the metal part on the back of the housing 301, ensuring that the back cover 4 is fixed on the housing 301.
[0049] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the back cover 4 includes a back plate 404, a side wall 405, and a flange 406. The side wall 405 is arranged around the outer periphery of the back plate 404, and the flange 406 is disposed on the outer periphery of the side wall 405. The flange 406 is provided with a mounting groove 4062, and each mounting groove 4062 is provided with a second magnetic member 6. A mounting groove 401 is formed between the back plate 404 and the side wall 405.
[0050] A sidewall 405 is provided on the outer periphery of the back plate 404, forming an installation groove 401 between the sidewall 405 and the back plate 404 to facilitate the manufacturing of the back cover 4. An assembly groove 4062 is provided on the flange 406, and the second magnetic member 6 is installed in the assembly groove 4062 to ensure that the second magnetic member 6 is firmly fixed to the back cover 4. This ensures a secure and reliable connection between the back cover 4 and the gas water heater, preventing shaking or loosening even during operation.
[0051] Specifically, the cross-section of the assembly groove 4062 can be elongated, circular, spherical, etc. In this embodiment, the type of the assembly groove 4062 is not specifically limited.
[0052] Specifically, the back panel 404, side wall 405, and flange 406 can be integrally injection molded.
[0053] Specifically, the flange 406 fits snugly against the back of the gas water heater 3, and a sealing strip can be provided between the flange 406 and the back of the gas water heater 3 to ensure the sealing of the connection between the back cover 4 and the back of the gas water heater 3.
[0054] In one embodiment, such as Figures 7 to 9 As shown, each assembly slot 4062 has an exhaust hole 4063 on its inner wall, and the assembly slot 4062 is connected to the outside through the exhaust hole 4063.
[0055] When the second magnetic component 6 is inserted into the assembly slot 4062, the air in the assembly slot 4062 is compressed. Since each assembly slot 4062 has an exhaust hole 4063 on its inner wall, the air in the assembly slot 4062 can be discharged through the exhaust hole 4063, ensuring that the second magnetic component 6 can be smoothly installed into the assembly slot 4062.
[0056] Specifically, an exhaust hole 4063 is provided on the inner wall of the assembly groove 4062 to facilitate the smooth insertion of the second magnetic component 6 into the assembly groove 4062. To ensure that the second magnetic component 6 is firmly fixed in the assembly groove 4062, an interference fit can be used. The interference fit utilizes the slight dimensional difference between the assembly groove 4062 and the second magnetic component 6 to ensure that the second magnetic component 6 fits tightly against the inner wall of the assembly groove 4062 after insertion, forming sufficient friction to resist vibrations, displacements, and other situations that may occur during the operation of the gas water heater, ensuring that the second magnetic component 6 is firmly fixed in the assembly groove 4062 and providing a reliable guarantee for the stable operation of the gas water heater.
[0057] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the magnetic end face of the second magnetic component 6 is on the same horizontal plane as the opening of the assembly groove 4062.
[0058] When the magnetic end face of the second magnetic member 6 is at the same level as the plane where the opening of the mounting groove 4062 is located, when the back shell 4 with the second magnetic member 6 is installed onto the housing 301 of the gas water heater, the second magnetic member 6 can fully contact the first magnetic member on the back of the housing 301 and be firmly attached to the housing 301. At the same time, it ensures that the flange 406 fits snugly against the surface of the housing 301, preventing gaps between the flange 406 and the surface of the housing 301 that could cause noise to leak from the gaps.
[0059] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the flange 406 is provided with a mounting hole 4061 for connecting with the housing 301.
[0060] When the back cover 4 is installed on the housing 301, the back cover 4 can be fixed on the housing 301 by the attraction between the second magnetic member 6 and the first magnetic member. In addition, the back cover 4 can be further secured to the back of the housing 301 by fasteners through the mounting hole 4061, ensuring the stability of the entire structure and preventing shaking or loosening even when the equipment is running.
[0061] Specifically, the back cover 4 can be provided with one or more mounting holes 4061. When the back cover 4 is installed on the housing 301, since the back cover 4 can be fixed to the housing 301 by the attraction between the second magnetic member 6 and the first magnetic member, fasteners can be inserted into the mounting holes 4061 to further fix the back cover 4, or fasteners can be used to fix the back cover 4 without using fasteners.
[0062] Specifically, the mounting hole 4061 can be a through hole, a threaded hole, a snap-fit hole, etc. In this embodiment, the type of mounting hole 4061 is not specifically limited.
[0063] In one embodiment, such as Figures 4-6 As shown, it also includes a sound-absorbing component 2, with the front of the sound-absorbing component 2 facing away from the inner bottom surface of the mounting groove 401, and an air intake space 5 is left between the front of the sound-absorbing component 2 and the back of the housing 301.
[0064] The sound-absorbing component 2 is installed on the back of the housing 301 through the back shell 4, leaving a gap between the sound-absorbing component 2 and the back of the housing 301. This gap forms an air intake space 5. Since the air intake space 5 is connected to the air inlet 3011 of the gas water heater 3, when the gas water heater 3 is running, outside air enters into the air intake space 5 from the outside air inlet structure 402 and enters the air inlet 3011 of the gas water heater 3 along the air intake space 5. This not only removes some of the heat from the back of the gas water heater 3 for appropriate cooling, but also, since the sound-absorbing component 2 is set in the air intake space 5, the noise generated when outside air flows in the air intake space 5 can be absorbed by the sound-absorbing component 2, thereby reducing the noise caused by outside air entering the air intake space 5.
[0065] In addition, some of the noise generated by the fan and water pump in the gas water heater 3 is diffracted out through the air inlet 3011 of the gas water heater 3. Since the air inlet 3011 is connected to the air intake space 5 and the air intake space 5 is equipped with a sound-absorbing component 2, the diffracted noise directly enters the sound-absorbing component 2 and is absorbed by the sound-absorbing component 2 after multiple refractions, thereby reducing the noise leakage from the air inlet 3011.
[0066] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, it also includes a mesh plate 1, and the back shell 4 is an injection molded part and is integrally injection molded with the mesh plate 1. The mesh plate 1 has honeycomb holes arranged in an array. The sound-absorbing part 2 is sandwiched between the mesh plate 1 and the bottom surface of the mounting groove 401.
[0067] The back shell 4 is made of injection molded material. The back shell 4 and the mesh plate 1 are integrally injection molded. Compared with the traditional manufacturing process, it can achieve high-precision and large-scale production, reduce production costs, and improve production efficiency and product consistency.
[0068] Specifically, the back shell 4 and the mesh plate 1 are integrally injection molded, which can be done by single injection molding or two-time injection molding. In this embodiment, the specific injection molding method of the back shell 4 and the mesh plate 1 is not limited.
[0069] Meanwhile, when the sound-absorbing component 2 uses sound-absorbing cotton, the clamping structure formed by the mesh plate 1 and the back shell 4 can apply a certain pressure to both sides of the sound-absorbing cotton to ensure that the distance between the side of the sound-absorbing cotton and the back of the gas water heater 3 is constant, ensuring that the sound-absorbing cotton will not deform during long-term use, and thus will not compress or block the air intake space 5, ensuring the air intake effect and noise reduction effect of the air intake space 5.
[0070] It should be noted that the distance between the mesh plate 1 and the back shell 4 can be designed to be less than the thickness of the sound-absorbing component 2, so as to ensure that the sound-absorbing component 2 is clamped and fixed between the mesh plate 1 and the back shell 4.
[0071] Specifically, the mesh plate 1 and the back shell 4 can be arranged in parallel or at an angle. In this embodiment, the positional relationship between the mesh plate 1 and the back shell 4 is not specifically limited.
[0072] Specifically, the thickness and density of the sound-absorbing component 2 can be adjusted according to the desired sound absorption effect. Similarly, the sound-absorbing component 2 can be designed as a flat plate, a wave shape, or other specific shapes. The size of the sound-absorbing component 2 can be adapted to the back surface area of the housing 301 to ensure the sound absorption and noise reduction effect of the sound-absorbing component 2. In this embodiment, the thickness and shape of the sound-absorbing component 2 are not specifically limited.
[0073] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the coverage area of the back shell 4 is adapted to the back surface area of the housing 301, and the coverage area of the sound-absorbing component 2 is adapted to the back surface area of the housing 301.
[0074] The coverage area of the sound-absorbing component 2 is set to match the back dimensions of the housing 301, ensuring that the entire back area of the housing 301 is covered by the sound-absorbing component 2. This more effectively absorbs noise within the air intake space 5, improves sound absorption efficiency, reduces noise transmission, and enhances the overall noise reduction effect. Simultaneously, selecting a sound-absorbing component 2 of the appropriate size makes it easier to install and fix, reducing the complexity of the installation process.
[0075] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the back of the housing 301 is rectangular. The sound-absorbing component 2 can be shaped into a rectangle similar in size to the back of the housing 301 to ensure the sound absorption effect of the sound-absorbing component 2 and facilitate its installation. Therefore, the overall shape and coverage area of the sound-absorbing component 2 can be adaptively adjusted according to the shape of the back of the housing 301. In this embodiment, no specific limitations are imposed on the shape and size of the sound-absorbing component 2.
[0076] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the back shell 4 also includes multiple support ribs 403, which are integrally injection molded with the side wall 405. The multiple support ribs 403 are arranged in a crisscross pattern to form a grid structure, and the mesh plate 1 is integrally injection molded with the grid structure.
[0077] The support rib 403 is integrally formed with the side wall 405, and the mesh plate 1 is injection molded in the mesh structure, which simplifies the installation process of the mesh plate 1. No additional fasteners such as screws or clips are required, which improves assembly efficiency and reduces production costs. At the same time, it ensures that the mesh plate 1 is firmly fixed on the back shell 4, reducing loosening or deformation caused by long-term use or temperature changes, and enhancing the stability of the overall structure.
[0078] The crisscrossing support ribs 403, forming a grid structure, significantly enhance the structural strength of the back shell 4, preventing deformation under load or prolonged use, and ensuring the stability and durability of the connection between the back shell 4 and the mesh plate 1. Simultaneously, the support ribs help to evenly distribute the weight and pressure of the mesh plate 1, preventing localized stress concentration, reducing the potential risk of breakage of the mesh plate 1, and extending the service life of the component.
[0079] In one embodiment, combined Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the air inlet 3011 is located on the upper side of the back of the housing 301, and the external air inlet structure 402 is located on the lower side of the back shell 4, so that the distance between the air inlet 3011 and the external air inlet structure 402 is long enough to ensure a sufficiently long air intake space 5.
[0080] The air inlet 3011 is positioned on the upper side near the air intake space 5, while the outer air inlet structure 402 is positioned on the lower side near the air intake space 5. The distance between the air inlet 3011 and the outer air inlet structure 402 is maximized. This ensures that noise entering the air intake space 5 from the air inlet 3011 must travel a longer path before reaching the outer air inlet structure 402. Because the noise waves travel a longer distance from the air inlet 3011 to the outer air inlet structure 402 within the air intake space 5, the number of reflections by the sound-absorbing component 2 is increased, thereby improving the noise absorption effect of the sound-absorbing component 2 and effectively reducing the noise generated by the gas water heater 3 during operation, minimizing the impact on users. Furthermore, outside air enters the gas water heater 3 through the air inlet 3011 at the top of the casing 301, and then the airflow flows downwards from the top of the gas water heater 3. During this airflow, effective heat dissipation is achieved for the electrical components inside the gas water heater 3.
[0081] Specifically, the external air inlet structure 402 can be configured in any existing shape, such as rectangular, circular, elongated, or grille. In this embodiment, the shape of the external air inlet structure 402 is not specifically limited.
[0082] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the area of the mesh plate 1 is matched with the area of the back plate 404.
[0083] The area of the mesh panel 1 is set to match the area of the back panel 404 so that the mesh panel 1 and the back panel 404 can be aligned, facilitating the integral injection molding of the mesh panel 1 and the back panel 4. At the same time, it ensures that the sound-absorbing component 2 is firmly clamped between the mesh panel 1 and the back panel 404.
[0084] In one embodiment, the back cover 4 is made of one of polypropylene (PP) injection molding, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) injection molding, or polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) injection molding.
[0085] The back cover 4 is made of polypropylene (PP) injection molded parts, which has the advantages of low density, light weight, relatively low cost, easy processing and molding, and good heat resistance, making it suitable for high temperature environments.
[0086] Back cover 4 is made of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) injection molding, which has the advantages of chemical resistance and easy processing, and is suitable for back cover 4 that requires good appearance, high impact strength and dimensional stability.
[0087] The back cover 4 is made of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) injection molded parts, which has the advantages of extremely high heat resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, flame retardancy and mechanical strength.
[0088] Specifically, the material of the back cover 4 can be customized according to the specific application environment of the gas water heater 3 to achieve optimal durability. In this embodiment, no specific limitations are imposed on the material of the back cover 4.
[0089] The working principle of the gas-fired water heater 3 in this embodiment is described as follows:
[0090] First, install the sound-absorbing component 2 in the mounting groove 401 between the back shell 4 and the mesh plate 1. Align the back shell 4 and the mounting hole 4061 on the housing 301. The back shell 4 is attracted to the first magnetic component on the back of the housing 301 by the second magnetic component 6. Then, fix the back shell 4 to the back of the housing 301 by fasteners inserted into the mounting hole 4061.
[0091] In the specific implementation of the above embodiments, the technical features can be combined in any non-contradictory way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the above technical features are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features is not contradictory, it should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
