DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model, and obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-3The utility model provides an embodiment: a kind of open installation water heater pipeline protection shell, including preset shell 1, preset shell 1 right end slidingly connected with pipeline protection shell body 2, preset shell 1 inside right end front and rear sides are all fixedly connected with slide 13, preset groove 12 is set in the bottom end of the front and rear sides of pipeline protection shell body 2, the outer wall of slide 13 is slidably connected in the inner wall of preset groove 12, preset shell 1 top side is rotatably connected with adjusting knob 4, preset shell 1 inside is provided with adjusting valve 10, adjusting knob 4 is connected with adjusting valve 10 by fixed connecting column 14, pipeline protection shell body 2 inside is slidably connected with pipeline clamp 7.The outer wall of adjusting ball valve 17 is rotatably connected in the inner wall of adjusting valve 10, adjusting ball valve 17 inside is provided with drain hole.Preset shell 1 inside bottom end is slidably connected with preset mounting plate 8, preset mounting plate 8 front and rear sides are all fixedly connected with two preset positioning pin 9, preset shell 1 front and rear sides bottom end are all provided with reserved mounting hole 11.Preset positioning pin 9 top end is slidably connected in the inner wall of reserved mounting hole 11.The bottom side of adjusting valve 10 is fixedly connected in the top side of preset mounting plate 8.Drain hole diameter size is equal with the inner diameter size of adjusting valve 10.Adjusting knob 4 front side is provided with indicating arrow 5, preset shell 1 front side bottom end is provided with prompt label 6, preset shell 1 front side top end is provided with liquid crystal display 3.

[0026] Specifically, when installing a kind of open installation water heater pipeline protection shell, the operator first wants to firmly fix preset shell 1 as a whole on wall, simultaneously connects good water heater pipeline with adjusting valve 10 in the inside of preset shell 1 up and down, guarantees that water flow can smoothly pass through adjusting valve 10.Preset shell 1 top end is provided with pipeline protection shell body 2, and the pipeline clamp 7 in its inside can slide.The operator changes its position in the pipeline protection shell body 2 by sliding pipeline clamp 7, to thereby sectional type fixed hot water pipeline, so that pipeline protection shell body 2 can effectively protect hot water pipeline.When detecting maintenance is carried out to the inside of preset shell 1, operation is also very simple.Preset positioning pin 9 on preset mounting plate 8 of preset shell 1 rear side is engaged with the reserved mounting hole 11 of the both sides of preset shell 1.The operator only needs to squeeze out the top end of preset positioning pin 9 from the inside of reserved mounting hole 11, to complete the disassembly work of preset shell 1.

[0027] Refer to Figure 4 Adjusting knob 4 bottom side is fixedly connected with fixed connecting column 14, fixed connecting column 14 bottom end is fixedly connected with limit adjusting ring 15, limit adjusting ring 15 bottom side is fixedly connected with ball valve connecting plate 16, ball valve connecting plate 16 bottom side is fixedly connected with adjusting ball valve 17.

[0028] Specifically, the preset housing 1 front side set of indication arrow 5 and prompt label 6, can help users easily switch adjustment. The front side of the top of the liquid crystal display 3 is convenient for users to view the real-time hot water temperature. When the user wants to use or close the hot water, turn the adjustment knob 4. The adjustment knob 4 rear end connected to the regulating ball valve 17 will rotate in the regulating valve 10, when the water flow channel inside the regulating ball valve 17 and the inside of the regulating valve 10 is communicated, hot water will be discharged; otherwise, it is closed. Moreover, the limiting adjustment ring 15 installed on the outer wall of the fixed connection column 14 cooperates with the regulating valve 10, which can limit the rotation range of the regulating ball valve 17, prevent the regulating ball valve 17 from rotating continuously in the regulating valve 10, and avoid affecting the user experience.
