[0027] like Figure 1-4As shown, an embodiment of the present invention includes a faceplate comprising a connecting body 1 and a glass panel 2 adhered to the front end of the connecting body 1. The connecting body 1 includes a first frame 11 and a second frame 12. The shape of the first frame 11 is the same as that of the second frame 12, so that the same mold or the same equipment can be used to manufacture the first frame 11 and the second frame 12, without the need for additional manufacturing equipment, thereby reducing manufacturing steps and production costs. The two ends of the first frame 11 are respectively connected to the two ends of the second frame 12 and together form a ring, making the connecting body 1 a hollow structure, thereby reducing manufacturing materials and production costs.

[0028] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first frame 11 includes a first side plate 111 and a top plate 112, the first side plate 111 and the top plate 112 are integrally bent and formed to form an L shape together, and the second frame 12 includes a second side plate 121 and a bottom plate 122, the second side plate 121 and the bottom plate 122 are integrally bent and formed to form an L shape together.

[0029] The upper end of the second side plate 121 is welded to the right end of the top plate 112, and the left end of the bottom plate 122 is welded to the lower end of the first side plate 111.

[0030] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the first side plate 111 is the left side plate, and the second side plate 121 is the right side plate. Of course, the first side plate 111 can also be the right side plate, in which case the second side plate 121 is the corresponding left side plate. Those skilled in the art can choose the positions of the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 121 according to actual needs.

[0031] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the front end of the first side plate 111 is provided with a first inner flange 1111, and the first inner flange 1111 and the first side plate 111 together form an L-shape to improve the structural strength of the first side plate 111.

[0032] The top plate 112 has a second inner flange 1121 at its front end. The second inner flange 1121 and the top plate 112 together form an L-shape to improve the structural strength of the top plate 112.

[0033] The front end of the second side plate 121 is provided with a third inner flange 1211. The third inner flange 1211 and the second side plate 121 are L-shaped together to improve the structural strength of the second side plate 121.

[0034] The front end of the base plate 122 is provided with a fourth inner flange 1221, which together with the base plate 122 forms an L-shape to improve the structural strength of the base plate 122.

[0035] The back of the glass panel 2 is bonded to the first inner flange 1111, the second inner flange 1121, the third inner flange 1211 and the fourth inner flange 1221 respectively, so as to improve the bonding surface of the glass panel 2 and thereby improve the connection strength between the glass panel 2 and the connecting body 1.

[0036] Of course, the back of the glass panel 2 can also be detachably connected to the first inner flange 1111, the second inner flange 1121, the third inner flange 1211 and the fourth inner flange 1221 respectively. Those skilled in the art can choose the connection method between the glass panel 2 and the connecting body 1 according to actual needs.

[0037] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first inner flange 1111, the second inner flange 1121, the third inner flange 1211 and the fourth inner flange 1221 are each provided with at least one sol-gel groove 1112 to accommodate a certain amount of adhesive, so that when the connecting body 1 and the glass panel 2 are bonded, the adhesive force is not insufficient due to insufficient adhesive, which would cause the glass panel 2 to fall off, thereby further improving the connection strength between the glass panel 2 and the connecting body 1.

[0038] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both ends of the first inner flange 1111, the second inner flange 1121, the third inner flange 1211, and the fourth inner flange 1221 all have 45-degree bevels, so that the two ends of the first inner flange 1111, the second inner flange 1121, the third inner flange 1211, and the fourth inner flange 1221 avoid each other and are flush.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the rear ends of the first side plate 111, the top plate 112, the second side plate 121, and the bottom plate 122 are all provided with fifth flanges 1114. In this way, the horizontal cross-section of the first side plate 111, the vertical cross-section of the top plate 112, the horizontal cross-section of the second side plate 121, and the vertical cross-section of the bottom plate 122 are all U-shaped, thereby further improving the overall structural strength of the connecting body 1.

[0040] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the upper inclined edge of the first inner flange 1111 abuts or is welded to the left inclined edge of the second inner flange 1121, the lower inclined edge of the first inner flange 1111 abuts or is welded to the left inclined edge of the fourth inner flange 1221, the upper inclined edge of the third inner flange 1211 abuts or is welded to the right inclined edge of the second inner flange 1121, and the lower inclined edge of the third inner flange 1211 abuts or is welded to the right inclined edge of the fourth inner flange 1221, thereby realizing that the inclined edges of two adjacent flanges abut or are welded, thereby further improving the structural strength of the connecting body 1.

[0041] like Figure 2-4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both ends of the first frame 11 and both ends of the second frame 12 are stepped, and the two ends of the first frame 11 are respectively engaged and spliced ​​with the two ends of the second frame 12, thereby improving the connection strength between the first frame 11 and the second frame 12. This avoids problems such as material rebound and warping when the frame is bent, which leads to large gaps at the joints and makes it impossible to use advanced welding processes such as laser welding.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, taking the interlocking splicing of the horizontal transverse part (top plate 112 and second inner flange 1121) of the first frame 11 and the vertical part (second side plate 121 and third inner flange 1211) of the second frame 12 as an example, the right end of the second inner flange 1121 is provided with a clearance notch 1122, and the upper end of the third inner flange 1211 extends with a protrusion 1212 that matches the clearance notch 1122. When the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 are in place, the protrusion 1212 is located at the clearance notch 1122, and one side edge of the protrusion 1212 abuts or is welded to one side edge of the clearance notch 1122. The upper end of the protrusion 1212 abuts or is welded to the top plate 112.

[0043] The interlocking and splicing structure of the vertical part of the first frame 11 and the horizontal part of the second frame 12 is the same as the interlocking structure described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0044] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a connecting lug 1113 is provided on the inner side of the fourth inner flange 1221 and / or the inner side of the second inner flange 1121 for mounting the control panel 3.

[0045] For example, it also includes a connecting plate 4, the upper end of which is bonded to the back of the glass panel 2. The upper and lower ends of the control panel 3 are provided with connecting parts. The lower connecting part of the control panel 3 is connected to the connecting lug 1113 on the fourth inner flange 1221 by screws. The upper connecting part of the control panel 3 is connected to the lower end of the connecting plate 4 by screws.

[0046] This utility model also provides a gas water heater, including a housing and the aforementioned outer shell. The outer shell is detachably connected to the housing via a connecting body 1 for mounting on the housing or for opening and closing the housing. Because this utility model uses the aforementioned outer shell, it reduces manufacturing processes, reduces materials used, and lowers production costs.
