[0045] Refer toFigures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a shell structure, which includes a bottom shell 100 and a noise reduction component.

[0046] Specifically, the bottom shell 100 is provided with ventilation holes 111; the sound-absorbing component is located outside the bottom shell 100. The sound-absorbing component includes a back plate 200, a bracket 300, and sound-absorbing cotton 400 sandwiched between the back plate 200 and the bracket 300. A ventilation channel 201 is formed between the back plate 200 and the bottom shell 100. The ventilation channel 201 is connected to the ventilation holes 111. The bracket 300 and the sound-absorbing cotton 400 are both located inside the ventilation channel 201. A limiting part 310 is provided on the side of the bracket 300 facing the bottom shell 100. The limiting part 310 abuts against the bottom shell 100.

[0047] In this embodiment, the bracket 300 abuts against the bottom shell 100 via the limiting part 310 to prevent the bracket 300 and the sound-absorbing cotton 400 from arching towards the bottom shell 100, thereby ensuring that the ventilation duct 201 always has a good ventilation effect, and the ventilation duct 201 with a good ventilation effect has a low noise level. In addition, the bracket 300 abutting against the bottom shell 100 via the limiting part 310 can stably clamp the sound-absorbing cotton 400 between the back plate 200 and the bracket 300, so that the sound-absorbing cotton 400 and the back plate 200 fit tightly together, which has a good noise reduction and silencing effect.

[0048] For example, the bottom shell 100 includes a bottom plate 110, ventilation holes 111 are provided on the bottom plate 110, and a ventilation channel 201 is formed between the back plate 200 and the bottom plate 110. In this embodiment, the limiting part 310 abuts against the bottom plate 110.

[0049] For example, the base plate 110 may be provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 111, which may be arranged in a matrix to ensure that the gas water heater with shell structure has sufficient oxygen supply during operation.

[0050] In one feasible implementation, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the bracket 300 is provided with a positioning flange 330, and the positioning flange 330 and the sound-absorbing cotton 400 form a limiting fit along the length direction of the bracket 300 to realize the positioning assembly of the sound-absorbing cotton 400.

[0051] For example, the length direction of the bracket 300 is set to the vertical direction, and the lower edge of the bracket 300 is provided with a positioning flange 330.

[0052] In one feasible implementation, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the upper edge of the bracket 300 and both sides along the width direction of the bracket 300 are provided with reinforcing flanges 340 that bend towards the bottom shell 100 to enhance the structural strength of the bracket 300. The reinforcing flanges 340 can be connected as a single unit.

[0053] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the support 300 is provided with a plurality of limiting portions 310 on one side of the support 300 facing the bottom shell 100, which can prevent the support 300 and the sound-absorbing cotton 400 from being arched towards the bottom shell 100.

[0054] Specifically, the support 300 is provided with a plurality of noise reduction holes 323, and the edges of at least part of the noise reduction holes 323 are provided with the limiting portions 310. In the embodiment, the noise can act on the sound-absorbing cotton 400 through the noise reduction holes 323, so as to achieve a good noise reduction effect.

[0055] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the support 300 comprises a rectangular frame 320, a plurality of vertical strip plates 321 and a plurality of horizontal strip plates 322 are arranged in a horizontal and vertical staggered manner in the rectangular frame 320, and a plurality of noise reduction holes 323 are formed between the rectangular frame 320, the vertical strip plates 321 and the horizontal strip plates 322, and the limiting portions 310 are arranged on the vertical strip plates 321 and / or the horizontal strip plates 322. In the embodiment, the horizontal and vertical staggered arrangement of the plurality of vertical strip plates 321 and the plurality of horizontal strip plates 322 can make the support 300 have good structural strength, so as to stably clamp the sound-absorbing cotton 400 between the back plate 200 and the support 300. In addition, the horizontal and vertical staggered arrangement of the plurality of vertical strip plates 321 and the plurality of horizontal strip plates 322 facilitates the arrangement of the limiting portions 310, so as to prevent the support 300 and the sound-absorbing cotton 400 from being arched towards the bottom shell 100.

[0056] Of course, the plurality of vertical strip plates 321 and the plurality of horizontal strip plates 322 can also be replaced by strip plates staggered in other directions, which are not limited in the embodiment.

[0057] In some embodiments, the limiting portions 310 are arranged as flanges, and at least one of the two long sides of the vertical strip plates 321 is provided with the limiting portions 310. Wherein, the length direction of the support 300, i.e. the length direction of the vertical strip plates 321 is the same as the direction of the air vent 202 of the ventilation channel 201. In the embodiment, the limiting portions 310 can be formed by extending and bending the long sides of the vertical strip plates 321, which facilitates the forming and manufacturing of the support 300, and the limiting portions 310 will not block the gas flow in the ventilation channel 201, so that the ventilation channel 201 has a good ventilation effect.

[0058] Of course, the limiting portions 310 can also be in the form of columns or blocks, which are not limited in the embodiment.

[0059] For example, the limiting portions 310 are arranged on at least part of the vertical strip plates 321.

[0060] In one feasible implementation, at least a portion of the noise reduction hole 323 is provided with a diagonal plate 350 to further enhance the structural strength of the bracket 300.

[0061] For example, the noise reduction holes 323 between the two horizontal strips 322 closest to the upper edge of the bracket 300 are provided with diagonal plates 350, and the two adjacent diagonal plates 350 are V-shaped.

[0062] In this embodiment, the vertical strip 321 includes two first vertical strips 3211 and at least one second vertical strip 3212 disposed between the two first vertical strips 3211.

[0063] For example, the vertical strip 321 includes a second vertical strip 3212, that is, the bracket 300 includes three vertical strips 321. While ensuring that the bracket 300 has good structural strength, the weight of the bracket 300 can be reduced, and the molding and manufacturing of the bracket 300 can be facilitated.

[0064] In some embodiments, a limiting portion 310 is provided on the side of the two first vertical strips 3211 that is far apart from each other, that is, the limiting portion 310 includes, for example, Figure 5 The first flange 311 shown effectively prevents the bracket 300 and the sound-absorbing cotton 400 from arching towards the bottom shell 100.

[0065] For example, the lengths of the first flanges 311 may be equal or unequal, and this embodiment does not limit them.

[0066] For example, the first vertical strip 3211 may be provided with a plurality of first flanges 311 at intervals along its length.

[0067] In some embodiments, the second vertical strip 3212 is provided with a plurality of pairs of limiting portions 310 spaced apart along its length, that is, the limiting portions 310 include, for example, Figure 5 The second flange 312 shown effectively prevents the bracket 300 and the sound-absorbing cotton 400 from arching towards the bottom shell 100. It is understood that each pair of limiting parts 310 includes two limiting parts 310 disposed opposite each other on both sides of the width direction of the second vertical strip 3212.

[0068] For example, the lengths of the second flanges 312 may be equal or unequal, and this embodiment does not limit them.

[0069] In one feasible implementation, the limiting part 310 includes both a first flange 311 and a second flange 312, which better prevents the bracket 300 and the sound-absorbing cotton 400 from arching towards the bottom shell 100. The lengths of the first flange 311 and the second flange 312 may be equal or unequal, and this embodiment does not impose any limitation.

[0070] In an embodiment, the two first vertical plates 3211 can be provided with a limiting part 310 on the side close to each other, i.e. the limiting part 310 comprises a third flange 313 as shown in Figure 5 which can prevent the bracket 300 and the sound-absorbing cotton 400 from being arched towards the bottom shell 100, and the effect is better.

[0071] In some embodiments, the third flange 313 is provided with one and is arranged opposite to the first flange 311 closest to the positioning flange 330 along the width direction of the first vertical plate 3211. In this embodiment, the distance L1 between the third flange 313 and the positioning flange 330 is smaller than the distance L2 between the second flange 312 closest to the positioning flange 330 and the positioning flange 330, so that the limiting part 310 can provide good support to the bracket 300, effectively reduce the deformation amount of the bracket 300 caused by clamping the sound-absorbing cotton 400, and make the ventilation channel 201 have a good ventilation effect.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first vertical plate 3211 can be provided with a plurality of third flanges 313 along the length direction thereof, so as to further reduce the deformation amount of the first vertical plate 3211 caused by clamping the sound-absorbing cotton 400. The third flange 313 can be arranged one by one corresponding to the first flange 311.

[0073] For example, the length of the third flange 313 can be equal to or different from that of the corresponding first flange 311, which is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0074] In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 7 , the back plate 200 is provided with a first supporting protrusion 210, the first supporting protrusion 210 abuts against the sound-absorbing cotton 400, so that the sound-absorbing cotton 400 is stably clamped between the back plate 200 and the bracket 300, and the back plate 200 can be prevented from being deformed. The first supporting protrusion 210 has an outer concave and inner convex structure, which facilitates the molding and manufacturing of the back plate 200.

[0075] For example, the first supporting protrusion 210 comprises a plurality of first protrusions 211 arranged along the length direction of the back plate 200 and a plurality of second protrusions 212 intersecting with the first protrusions 211, the first protrusions 211 extend along the width direction of the back plate 200, and the second protrusions 212 extend along the length direction of the back plate 200, so that the sound-absorbing cotton 400 is stably clamped between the back plate 200 and the bracket 300.

[0076] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6As shown, the support frame 300 is provided with second support protrusions 360, which abut against the sound-absorbing cotton 400 to stably hold the sound-absorbing cotton 400 between the back plate 200 and the support frame 300, and prevent the support frame 300 from deforming. The second support protrusions 360 are concave on the outside and convex on the inside towards the air duct 201, facilitating the molding and manufacturing of the support frame 300.

[0077] Exemplarily, the second support protrusions 360 are in the shape of a cross, facilitating the molding and manufacturing of the support frame 300. In some embodiments, the second support protrusions 360 are arranged at the intersections of the horizontal strip plates 322 and the vertical strip plates 321 except for the horizontal strip plate 322 closest to the positioning flange 330, to stably hold the sound-absorbing cotton 400 between the back plate 200 and the support frame 300. Of course, the second support protrusions 360 can also be arranged at the intersections of the horizontal strip plate 322 closest to the positioning flange 330 and the vertical strip plates 321, which is not limited in the present embodiment.

The support feet 370 can provide a clamping force for the sound-absorbing cotton 400 to stably hold the sound-absorbing cotton 400 between the back plate 200 and the support frame 300.

[0079] Specifically, the support feet 370 are clamped between the bottom plate 110 and the back plate 200.
