Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fan technology, and in particular to a plastic-sealed fan and a gas-fired hot water equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The driver of a plastic sealant blower is responsible for connecting to an external power source, receiving and feeding back control signals, and adjusting the blower speed according to a specific program.

[0003] Existing encapsulated blower drivers are typically electrically connected to the blower windings via wires. After the wires are soldered to the winding leads, they are connected to the driver through pre-drilled outlet holes in the blower housing. Due to the flexibility and deformability of the wires, a large gap exists between the wires and the outlet holes, allowing moisture to easily enter the blower and cause it to become damp, leading to malfunctions and low reliability. If glue is used to seal the gap between the wires and the outlet holes, it makes subsequent circuit board inspection inconvenient, thus indicating room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] One of the problems to be solved by this utility model is to provide a plastic sealing blower that can solve the problem of plastic sealing blowers being easily affected by moisture in the prior art, reduce the failure rate of plastic sealing blowers, and improve reliability.

[0010] The driver is provided with a plug that is inserted into the socket.

[0011] The plastic sealing blower described in this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0012] This encapsulated blower uses an adapter plate placed inside a housing cavity, which is then sealed with a cover plate. The socket and the cover plate's clearance opening are inserted and tightly fitted. Compared to the winding connected to the driver via wires, this method effectively restricts moisture from entering the housing cavity without the need for adhesive injection, thus improving the blower's sealing performance. Furthermore, the circuit board is connected to the driver's plug via the socket, allowing for easy unplugging and maintenance of the circuit board.

[0013] In one embodiment, a sealing ring is further included, which is fitted onto the socket and sandwiched between the cover plate and the circuit board.

[0014] In one embodiment, the end face of the cover plate facing the receiving cavity has a first annular boss, the first annular boss is arranged around the clearance opening, and the sealing ring is sandwiched between the first annular boss and the circuit board.

[0015] In one embodiment, a stepped column is provided at the bottom of the receiving cavity;

[0016] The circuit board has a first through hole, the stepped post passes through the first through hole, and the circuit board is supported on the stepped surface of the stepped post.

[0017] In one embodiment, the end face of the stepped column facing away from the bottom of the receiving cavity is provided with a threaded hole, the cover plate is provided with a second through hole, and the fastening screw passes through the second through hole and is screwed into the threaded hole.

[0018] In one embodiment, the end face of the cover plate facing the receiving cavity is provided with a second annular boss, the second annular boss is arranged around the second through hole, and the second annular boss abuts against the circuit board.

[0019] In one embodiment, the end face of the cover plate facing the receiving cavity is provided with a third annular boss, the third annular boss is embedded in the receiving cavity, and the outer peripheral surface of the third annular boss is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the receiving cavity.

[0020] In one embodiment, the socket includes pins and a connecting plate, the pins being electrically connected to corresponding wiring ports of the circuit board, the connecting plate being integrally formed with the substrate of the circuit board, and the connecting plate being inserted into and tightly fitted with the clearance port.

[0021] In one embodiment, the circuit board is provided with a socket, and the pin passes through the socket and is soldered to the circuit board.

[0022] The aforementioned second technical problem is solved by the following technical solution:

[0023] A gas-fired water heater includes a housing and a plastic-sealed fan as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the plastic-sealed fan is disposed inside the housing, and the driver is disposed outside the fan housing and connected to the housing.

[0024] The gas-fired water heater provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0037] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar parts or parts having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0038] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or a detachable connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

[0039] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0040] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0041] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a plastic-sealed fan, which includes a fan housing 1, an adapter plate 2, a cover plate 3, and a driver. The fan housing 1 has a receiving cavity 11; the adapter plate 2 includes a circuit board 21, a socket 22, and a pin 23. The circuit board 21 is disposed within the receiving cavity 11, and the socket 22 and pin 23 are both disposed on and electrically connected to the circuit board 21. The pin 23 penetrates the bottom of the receiving cavity 11 and is electrically connected to the winding 12 of the fan housing 1; the cover plate 3 has a clearance opening 31, which covers the receiving cavity 11. The socket 22 passes through the clearance opening 31, and the socket 22 and the clearance opening 31 are configured for a tight fit, specifically an interference fit or a transition fit; the driver is disposed outside the fan housing 1 and has a plug 4 that can be plugged into the socket 22 to achieve electrical connection between the driver and the winding 12 of the fan housing 1.

[0042] The encapsulated blower uses an adapter plate 2, which is placed inside the receiving cavity 11 and then sealed by a cover plate 3. Because the socket 22 and the clearance opening 31 of the cover plate 3 are designed for a tight fit, compared to the method of connecting the winding to the driver via wires, moisture can be effectively restricted from entering the receiving cavity 11 without the need for adhesive injection. This prevents the adapter plate 2 from becoming damp and affecting its service life, thus improving the sealing performance of the encapsulated blower. Furthermore, the circuit board 21 is connected to the driver's plug 4 via the socket 22, and the plug 4 can be disconnected at any time for easy maintenance of the circuit board 21. Additionally, the adapter plate 2, serving only as an electrical connector, features a simple structure, small size, and low heat generation. The driver can be connected to the socket 22 via the plug 4, allowing the driver to be installed outside the blower housing 1, resulting in high heat dissipation efficiency.

[0043] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the plastic sealant also includes a sealing ring 24. The sealing ring 24 is installed on the socket 22. When the cover plate 3 covers the receiving cavity 11, the sealing ring 24 is sandwiched between the cover plate 3 and the circuit board 21. By setting the sealing ring 24 on the outside of the socket 22, the sealing performance between the socket 22 and the clearance opening 31 can be improved.

[0044] To further improve the sealing performance of the sealing ring 24, a first annular protrusion 32 is provided on the end face of the cover plate 3 facing the receiving cavity 11 around the relief opening 31. When the cover plate 3 covers the receiving cavity 11, the first annular protrusion 32 can press against the sealing ring 24 to ensure that the sealing ring 24 can be effectively squeezed and the sealing performance is guaranteed.

[0045] Optionally, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, a stepped post 13 is provided at the bottom of the cavity 11; the circuit board 21 is provided with a first through hole 211. When the circuit board 21 is placed in the cavity 11, the stepped post 13 passes through the first through hole 211, and the circuit board 21 is supported on the stepped surface of the stepped post 13. After the cover plate 3 covers the cavity 11, it can prevent the circuit board 21 from falling out of the stepped post 13. This structure realizes the limited installation of the circuit board 21. The structure is simple and easy to install.

[0046] In order to connect the cover plate 3 and the fan housing 1, the end face of the stepped column 13 facing away from the bottom of the cavity 11 is provided with a threaded hole, and the cover plate 3 is provided with a second through hole 33. The fastening screw 5 passes through the second through hole 33 and is screwed into the threaded hole. This structure makes the installation of the cover plate 3 more convenient.

[0047] Optionally, the end face of the cover plate 3 facing the receiving cavity 11 is provided with a second annular boss 34 on the periphery of the second through hole 33. When the cover plate 3 covers the receiving cavity 11, the stepped post 13 passes through the first through hole 211 and the second annular boss 34 at the same time. The second annular boss 34 presses against the circuit board 21 so that the cover plate 3 is firmly installed and the circuit board 21 is prevented from shaking.

[0048] Optionally, the end face of the cover plate 3 facing the receiving cavity 11 is provided with a third annular boss 35. When the cover plate 3 covers the receiving cavity 11, the third annular boss 35 can be embedded in the receiving cavity 11, that is, the outer peripheral surface of the third annular boss 35 and the inner peripheral surface of the receiving cavity 11 are tightly fitted to further improve the sealing performance of the cover plate 3.

[0049] In this embodiment, the receiving cavity 11 is annular; the circuit board 21 is configured as a fan-shaped ring that matches the annular ring. By configuring the circuit board 21 as a fan-shaped ring, when the circuit board 21 is installed in the receiving cavity 11, it can be limited by a single stepped post 13, which is convenient for installation and has a simple processing technology.

[0050] Optionally, the socket 22 includes pins 221 and a connecting plate 222 surrounding the pins 221. The pins 221 are electrically connected to the corresponding wiring ports of the circuit board 21. The connecting plate 222 is integrally formed with the substrate of the circuit board 21, and the connecting plate 222 is inserted into and tightly fitted with the clearance opening 31. In this structure, the connecting plate 222 protects the pins 221, and the plug 4 can be confined within the connecting plate 222 to ensure the reliability of the insertion.

[0051] Optionally, the circuit board 21 is provided with a socket, and the pin 23 passes through the socket and is soldered to the circuit board 21 so that the pin 23 is firmly connected to the circuit board 21.

[0052] In this embodiment, there are three sockets, and each socket is fitted with a pin 23. The three pins 23 enable the plastic sealer to be electrically connected to a three-phase power supply.

[0053] This utility model also provides a gas-fired water heater, which includes a housing, a burner and the aforementioned sealing fan. The sealing fan and the burner are disposed inside the housing. The sealing fan is used to deliver air to the burner to achieve combustion of gas. The driver is disposed outside the fan housing 1 and connected to the housing.

[0054] By placing the driver outside the fan housing 1 of the sealed blower, the heat dissipation efficiency of the driver can be improved. Compared with the structure in which the driver is placed inside the fan housing 1, the temperature inside the fan housing 1 is not too high, thus improving reliability.

[0055] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
