AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The circuit board structure of existing water heaters requires the removal of the protective cover during wiring operations, which increases the dynamic gap, lengthens the water vapor penetration path, and affects waterproof performance and reliability.

Method used

The protective buckle design has been eliminated, and a multi-level waterproof structure has been adopted, including a water-guiding structure and a handle. The water-guiding structure directs water to the outside of the opening, and the handle blocks rainwater. Combined with flanges and seals, the waterproof performance is improved.

Benefits of technology

Without affecting the wiring operation of the circuit board, the waterproof performance and reliability of the water heater are significantly improved, and the maintenance rate is reduced.

Abstract

This utility model discloses a water heater, relating to the technical field of water heaters. The water heater includes a casing, a water guiding structure, and a handle. One side panel of the casing is a first side panel, and a circuit board is disposed inside the casing, opposite to the first side panel. The first side panel has an opening to expose a portion of the circuit board. The water guiding structure is disposed outside the first side panel and around the opening, guiding water flowing from the outside of the first side panel to the periphery of the opening. The handle is disposed outside the first side panel and covers the opening, with at least a portion of the handle corresponding to the circuit board. Operators can perform wiring operations on the circuit board through the opening. The handle provides primary waterproofing by covering the outside of the opening to block rainwater, while the water guiding structure provides secondary waterproofing. This multi-level waterproofing ensures the waterproof performance of the circuit board even when the opening is permanently open.
