Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to a heating element installation structure for an electric water heater. [Background Technology]

[0002] An electric water heater, also called a water boiler or simply a "water boiler," is a device designed to meet the diverse drinking water needs of different groups of people. It uses electricity to convert into heat energy to boil water. Compared to traditional coal-fired or gas-fired boilers, it offers advantages such as safety, low noise, and no pollution, and provides hot water at any time.

[0003] The inner tank of electric water heaters is typically made of stainless steel or other metal materials. These materials offer advantages such as strong corrosion resistance (especially suitable for areas with good water quality), high temperature stability, hygiene (does not release harmful substances), and high rigidity, making them resistant to deformation. The connection between the heating element and the metal inner tank is crucial; a poor connection can easily lead to leaks.

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of connecting and installing the heating element and the inner liner. [Summary of the Invention]
