[0002] Currently, gas water heaters, as a crucial device for household hot water supply, face a series of challenges in terms of flue gas emissions. A significant technical difficulty lies in the abrupt change in area between the exhaust pipe and the combustion chamber of the burner. This structural abrupt change causes significant resistance to the exhaust gas, affecting its smooth discharge. To address this resistance issue, existing gas water heaters typically increase the fan speed to enhance flue gas exhaust capacity. While this method ensures smooth exhaust to some extent, the resulting problems cannot be ignored. Increasing fan speed not only significantly increases energy consumption, leading to higher electricity bills, but also increases noise, impacting the user experience. More importantly, prolonged high-speed operation accelerates fan wear, shortening its lifespan and increasing maintenance costs and replacement frequency. Utility Model Content

[0041] The embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this application, but should not be used to limit the scope of this application.

[0042] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0043] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections or detachable connections, wherein a fixed connection can include an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0044] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.

Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0046] Currently, in the design of gas water heater exhaust hoods, the diameter of the exhaust port is usually consistent, requiring the exhaust gas to suddenly turn 90 degrees upon exiting. This design causes a sharp change in the direction of gas flow, increasing local resistance and thus affecting exhaust efficiency. The sudden change in fluid flow direction at the 90-degree turn generates significant local resistance. Due to this increased resistance, the fan needs to operate at a higher speed to overcome it and expel the exhaust gas smoothly. This not only increases the fan's energy consumption but may also shorten its lifespan. Furthermore, the increased fan speed also leads to increased operating noise, affecting the user experience. In addition, high resistance can cause poor exhaust and even the risk of backflow, impacting the safety and performance of the water heater.

[0047] To address the issue of high exhaust resistance in gas water heaters, this application proposes a novel exhaust hood and gas water heater. This design optimizes the flue gas flow path by incorporating a primary flow guide structure 210 and a secondary flow guide structure 220 on the exhaust hood 10. This ensures that the exhaust gas is no longer abruptly turned 90°, but rather discharged in a smoother and more efficient manner, significantly reducing exhaust resistance. This allows the fan to achieve the same exhaust volume at a lower speed, thereby achieving energy savings, extending equipment lifespan, reducing noise, and improving safety.

[0048] The following is combined Figures 1 to 5This application describes the exhaust hood and the gas water heater.

[0049] According to the first aspect of this application, a gas water heater exhaust hood 10 is provided. Please refer to... Figure 1 The system includes: a smoke exhaust component 100 and a smoke collection component 200. The smoke exhaust component 100 is provided with a smoke exhaust channel 101 and a smoke exhaust port 102, and the smoke exhaust channel 101 is connected to the smoke exhaust port 102. The smoke collection component 200 is connected to the smoke exhaust component 100. The smoke collection component 200 is provided with a smoke collection chamber 201 inside. The smoke collection chamber 201 is provided with a primary flow guiding structure 210 on the side near the smoke exhaust port 102. The opening area of ​​the primary flow guiding structure 210 gradually decreases along the direction towards the smoke exhaust port. The primary flow guiding structure 210 is used to guide the flow of smoke. The smoke exhaust channel 101 is connected to the smoke collection chamber 201. The opening area of ​​the smoke collection chamber 201 is larger than the opening area of ​​the smoke exhaust channel 101. A secondary flow guiding structure 220 is provided at the connection between the smoke collection chamber 201 and the smoke exhaust channel 101. The opening area of ​​the secondary flow guiding structure 220 gradually decreases along the direction towards the smoke exhaust port. The secondary flow guiding structure 220 is used to reduce the resistance to the flow of smoke.

[0050] According to the embodiments of this application, the exhaust hood 10 of the gas water heater effectively reduces the resistance of flue gas during the exhaust process and improves the exhaust efficiency through the optimized design of the primary flow guiding structure 210 and the secondary flow guiding structure 220. Due to the reduction of the exhaust resistance, the fan can smoothly exhaust the flue gas without increasing its speed, thereby reducing energy consumption and noise.

[0051] Understandably, the smoke collection component 200 has a smoke collection chamber 201 inside, which is used to collect the flue gas generated from the burner 20. The smoke collection chamber 201 has a primary flow guiding structure 210 on the side near the exhaust port 102, which effectively guides the flow direction of the flue gas in the smoke collection chamber 201, reduces eddies and turbulence, and thus improves the smoothness of the flue gas flow.

[0052] The exhaust component 100 is provided with an exhaust channel 101 and an exhaust port 102. The exhaust channel 101 is connected to the exhaust port 102 and is used to exhaust flue gas from inside the water heater to the external environment. A secondary flow guiding structure 220 is provided at the connection between the smoke collection chamber 201 and the exhaust channel 101. The secondary flow guiding structure 220 is used to further guide the flow of flue gas and reduce the resistance and turbulence generated by the flue gas at the bend.

[0053] The primary flow guide structure 210 and the secondary flow guide structure 220 ensure that the flue gas can smoothly transition when it leaves the smoke collection component 200 and the smoke exhaust component 100 to the outside, thus minimizing the resistance of the smoke exhaust path.

[0054] In one embodiment, the flue gas flow does not involve any 90-degree right-angle turns.

[0055] According to one embodiment of this application, the primary flow guiding structure 210 is one of a chamfered structure and a rounded corner structure, used to guide the flue gas from the smoke collection chamber 201 to the smoke exhaust channel 101 smoothly.

[0056] It is understandable that the primary flow guiding structure 210 is either a chamfered structure or a rounded corner structure. Both of these structures can effectively guide the flue gas to smoothly transition from the smoke collection chamber 201 to the smoke exhaust channel 101, reducing eddies and turbulence.

[0057] By setting a chamfered structure on the side of the smoke collection chamber 201 near the smoke outlet 102, the smoke can gradually change direction during the flow process, avoiding the resistance caused by sudden turns.

[0058] By setting a rounded corner structure on the side of the smoke collection chamber 201 near the smoke exhaust port 102, the rounded corner mechanism further reduces the resistance of the flue gas during the flow process and improves the smoke exhaust efficiency through a smoother curve transition.

[0059] According to one embodiment of this application, the secondary flow guiding structure 220 is one of a chamfered structure and a rounded corner structure, used to reduce the flow resistance of flue gas at the connection between the smoke collection chamber 201 and the smoke exhaust channel 101.

[0060] It is understandable that the secondary flow guiding structure 220 is either a chamfered structure or a rounded corner structure. Both of these structures can effectively reduce the flow resistance of flue gas at the connection between the smoke collection chamber 201 and the smoke exhaust channel 101.

[0061] By setting a chamfered structure at the connection between the smoke collection chamber 201 and the smoke exhaust channel 101, the flue gas can transition more smoothly when turning, reducing the eddies and resistance caused by right-angle turns.

[0062] By setting a rounded corner structure on the side of the smoke collection chamber 201 near the smoke exhaust port 102, the rounded corner mechanism further reduces the resistance of the flue gas during the flow process and improves the smoke exhaust efficiency through a smoother curve transition.

[0063] According to one embodiment of this application, when the primary flow guiding structure 210 is a chamfered structure, the inclination angle of the chamfered structure relative to the horizontal plane is 30°-60°. It should be noted that the inclination angle of the chamfered structure of the primary flow guiding structure 210 can be 30°, 40°, 45°, 50°, or 60°.

[0064] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The chamfered structure of the primary flow guide structure 210 has an inclination angle of 30°.

[0065] According to one embodiment of this application, when the secondary flow guiding structure 220 is a chamfered structure, the inclination angle of the chamfered structure relative to the horizontal plane is 45°-75°. It should be noted that the inclination angle of the chamfered structure of the secondary flow guiding structure 220 can be 45°, 50°, 60°, 65°, 70°, or 75°.

[0066] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The chamfered structure of the secondary flow guide structure 220 has an inclination angle of 45°.

[0067] According to one embodiment of this application, when the primary flow guide structure is a rounded corner structure, the radius of curvature of the rounded corner structure is 5mm-15mm.

[0068] According to one embodiment of this application, when the secondary flow guide structure 220 is a rounded corner structure, the radius of curvature of the rounded corner structure is 5mm-15mm.

[0069] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The radius of curvature of the rounded corner structure of the secondary flow guide structure 220 is 5mm.

[0070] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The radius of curvature of the rounded corner structure of the secondary flow guide structure 220 is 15mm.

[0071] According to one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 3 The smoke exhaust component 100 includes a first smoke exhaust section 110 and a second smoke exhaust section 120. The first smoke exhaust section 110 is connected to the smoke collection component 200, and the second smoke exhaust section 120 is connected to the first smoke exhaust section 110. A smoke exhaust port 102 is provided in the second smoke exhaust section 120. The first smoke exhaust section 110 and the second smoke exhaust section 120 form a smoke exhaust channel 101. The opening area of ​​the first smoke exhaust section 110 is larger than the opening area of ​​the second smoke exhaust section 120.

[0072] Understandably, the smoke exhaust component 100 consists of a first smoke exhaust section 110 and a second smoke exhaust section 120, which together form the smoke exhaust channel 101. The first smoke exhaust section 110 is directly connected to the smoke collection component 200, serving as a transition and buffer. Its opening area is designed to be larger than that of the second smoke exhaust section 120. This design helps to slow down the velocity change of the smoke as it enters the smoke exhaust channel 101 from the smoke collection chamber 201, reducing flow resistance.

[0073] The smoke exhaust component 100, with its hierarchical design, optimizes the smoke flow path, reduces flow resistance, and improves exhaust efficiency. Simultaneously, this design enhances the structural stability of the smoke exhaust hood 10, making it more stable and reliable when subjected to smoke impact and vibration.

[0074] It should be noted that the secondary flow guiding structure 220 is located at the connection between the first smoke exhaust section 110 and the smoke collection component 200.

[0075] According to one embodiment of this application, a three-stage flow guiding structure 130 is provided at the connection between the first smoke exhaust section 110 and the second smoke exhaust section 120. The opening area of ​​the three-stage flow guiding structure 130 gradually decreases along the direction toward the smoke exhaust port. The three-stage flow guiding structure 130 is used to reduce the resistance to the flow of flue gas.

[0076] When flue gas flows from the first exhaust section 110 with a larger opening area into the second exhaust section 120 with a smaller opening area, the three-stage flow guiding structure 130 can effectively guide the flue gas to make a smooth turn and accelerate, avoiding eddies and turbulence caused by area changes, thereby significantly reducing flow resistance.

[0077] According to one embodiment of this application, the three-stage flow guiding structure 130 is one of a chamfered structure and a rounded corner structure.

[0078] It is understandable that the three-stage flow guiding structure 130 is either a chamfered structure or a rounded corner structure. Both of these structures can effectively guide the flue gas to smoothly transition from the first exhaust section 110 to the second exhaust section 120, reducing eddies and turbulence.

[0079] By setting a chamfered structure at the connection between the first smoke exhaust section 110 and the second smoke exhaust section 120, the flue gas can gradually change direction during its flow, avoiding resistance caused by sudden turns.

[0080] By setting a rounded corner structure on the side of the smoke collection chamber 201 near the smoke exhaust port 102, the rounded corner mechanism further reduces the resistance of the flue gas during the flow process and improves the smoke exhaust efficiency through a smoother curve transition.

[0081] According to one embodiment of this application, when the three-stage flow guiding structure 130 is a chamfered structure, the inclination angle of the chamfered structure relative to the horizontal plane is 30°-60°. It should be noted that the inclination angle of the chamfered structure of the three-stage flow guiding structure 130 can be 30°, 40°, 45°, 50°, or 60°.

[0082] According to one embodiment of this application, when the three-stage flow guide structure 130 is a rounded corner structure, the radius of curvature of the rounded corner structure is 2mm-10mm.

[0083] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The radius of curvature of the three-stage flow guide structure with 130 rounded corners is 3mm.

[0084] According to one embodiment of this application, the opening area of ​​the first smoke exhaust section 110 is 20%-50% larger than the opening area of ​​the second smoke exhaust section 120.

[0085] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The opening diameter of the first smoke exhaust section 110 is 80mm, and the opening diameter of the second smoke exhaust section 120 is 60mm.

[0086] According to one embodiment of this application, the smoke exhaust component 100 includes a first smoke exhaust section 110 and a second smoke exhaust section 120. The first smoke exhaust section 110 is connected to the smoke collection component 200, and the second smoke exhaust section 120 is connected to the first smoke exhaust section 110. A smoke exhaust port 102 is provided in the second smoke exhaust section 120. The first smoke exhaust section 110 and the second smoke exhaust section 120 form a smoke exhaust channel 101. The opening area of ​​the first smoke exhaust section 110 gradually decreases in the direction towards the smoke exhaust port 102, or the opening area of ​​the second smoke exhaust section 120 gradually decreases in the direction towards the smoke exhaust port 102.

[0087] According to one embodiment of this application, the first exhaust section 110 is either trumpet-shaped or cylindrical.

[0088] According to one embodiment of this application, the second exhaust section 120 is either trumpet-shaped or cylindrical.

[0089] According to one embodiment of this application, the smoke collecting component 200 and the smoke exhaust component 100 are integrally formed. It is understood that the integral forming of the smoke collecting component 200 and the smoke exhaust component 100 reduces the connection points and gaps between components, thereby reducing the risk of smoke leakage and enhancing the product's sealing and safety. At the same time, the integral forming design also reduces assembly steps, simplifies the manufacturing process, and improves production efficiency.

[0094] The cold water inlet pipe 40 is connected to the inlet of the heat exchanger 30;

[0095] Hot water outlet pipe 50 is connected to the outlet of heat exchanger 30.

[0096] Understandably, the burner 20 has a combustion chamber inside, serving as the primary site for fuel combustion. The design of the burner 20 ensures complete fuel combustion, thereby improving thermal energy conversion efficiency. The smoke collection chamber 201 of the exhaust hood 10 is connected to the combustion chamber, effectively collecting the flue gas generated during combustion. The heat exchanger 30 is located inside the combustion chamber, fully utilizing the heat energy generated by combustion to heat the cold water flowing through it. The cold water inlet pipe 40 is connected to the inlet of the heat exchanger 30, introducing the cold water to be heated into the heat exchanger 30; while the hot water outlet pipe 50 is connected to the outlet of the heat exchanger 30, delivering the heated hot water to the user end.
