Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of gas water heaters or wall-hung boilers, and in particular to a foldable decorative panel for gas water heaters or wall-hung boilers. Background Technology

[0002] Decorative panels are an important component in the production, transportation, and use of gas water heaters and wall-hung boilers. Their main function is to conceal the water pipes below and the flue pipes above after installation, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the gas water heater or wall-hung boiler. Currently, most decorative panels used in gas water heaters and wall-hung boilers on the market are of an integral structure.

[0003] Because the dimensions of the integrated decorative panel structure are fixed, the panels cannot be reduced in size during the packaging and transportation of gas water heaters or wall-hung boilers. This results in a larger overall packaging size for the gas water heaters or wall-hung boilers. This not only increases the amount of packaging materials used and raises packaging costs, but more importantly, the larger overall size reduces the loading capacity of the transport vehicle. For example, in a transport truck of the same volume, the number of gas water heaters or wall-hung boilers with integrated decorative panels is far less than the number of those with resizing capabilities, thus significantly increasing transportation costs and hindering cost control and market competitiveness for enterprises.

[0024] Example 1 like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model discloses a foldable decorative panel for gas water heaters or wall-hung boilers, which is applied to gas water heaters or wall-hung boilers. It includes: a housing 1, which has a pipe side 11; a decorative panel assembly 2, which is disposed on the pipe side 11; the decorative panel assembly 2 has a folded state and an unfolded state; when the decorative panel assembly 2 is in the folded state, the decorative panel assembly 2 is folded and stored on the pipe side 11; when the decorative panel assembly 2 is in the unfolded state, there is a storage area between the decorative panel assembly 2 and the pipe side 11.

[0025] Specifically, the decorative panel assembly 2 of this application has a folded state and an unfolded state. During the packaging and transportation of the gas water heater or wall-hung boiler, the decorative panel assembly 2 is in the folded state. This embodiment takes the decorative panel assembly 2 including the front panel 21 and the side panel 22 as an example for illustration. The front panel 21 is rotatably connected to the housing 1. The front panel 21 is also rotatably connected to the side panel 22. When the decorative panel assembly 2 is in the folded state, the front panel 21 and the side panel 22 are folded and stored on the pipe side 11 by rotation. After folding and storing the front panel 21 and the side panel 22, the gas water heater or wall-hung boiler as a whole achieves a state of reduced volume, reducing the packaging space occupied and transportation costs. During the installation and use of a gas water heater or wall-mounted boiler, the decorative panel assembly 2 is in an unfolded state, with both the front panel 21 and the side panel 22 unfolded. The front panel 21 and the side panel 22 form a storage area with the pipe side 11. When the front panel 21 and the side panel 22 are folded and stored, they fall into the storage area to store the pipes on the pipe side, thereby concealing the originally exposed pipes and improving the overall aesthetics of the gas water heater or wall-mounted boiler.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the decorative panel assembly 2 includes a front panel 21 and a side panel 22. The front panel 21 is rotatably connected to the housing 1; the front panel 21 is also rotatably connected to the side panel 22. When the decorative panel assembly 2 is in a folded state, the side panel 22 is folded and stored on the front panel 21, and the front panel 21 is folded and stored on the pipe side 11. Specifically, the front panel 21 can be rotatably connected to the housing 1 via a hinge structure such as a pin or hinge, and the side panel 22 is also rotatably connected to the front panel 21 via a hinge structure such as a pin or hinge. When folding and storing the decorative panel assembly 2, the side panel 22 is first folded and stored on the front panel 21, and then the front panel 21 is folded and stored on the pipe side 11. When the decorative panel assembly 2 needs to be unfolded, the front panel 21 is unfolded first, and then the side panel 22 is unfolded. Meanwhile, to ensure overall aesthetics, hinges and other hinged structures are preferably installed inside the storage area to avoid exposure.

[0027] Furthermore, the pipe side 11 is detachably connected to the side plate 22 via a quick-release structure 3. When the decorative panel assembly 2 is in the unfolded state, the quick-release structure 3 can secure the side plate 22 to the pipe side 11, improving the overall structural stability. When the decorative panel assembly 2 needs to be folded for storage, the quick-release structure 3 can be disassembled to remove the side plate from the pipe side. Preferably, in this embodiment, the quick-release structure 3 is installed within the storage area to avoid exposure.

[0028] Preferably, the quick-release structure 3 includes a magnet 31, which is disposed on the side plate 22 or the pipe side 11. When the magnet 31 is disposed on the side plate 22, the pipe side 11 is wholly or partially made of a metal material that can be attracted by the magnet 31, and the side plate 22 is connected to the pipe side 11 by the magnetic attraction of the magnet 31; when the magnet 31 is disposed on the pipe side 11, the side plate 22 is wholly or partially made of a metal material that can be attracted by the magnet 31, and the side plate 22 is connected to the pipe side 11 by the magnetic attraction of the magnet 31.

[0029] In this embodiment, the pipe side 11 is provided with a recessed area 12, and the recessed area 12 is provided with a pipe structure 4, which includes a flue and a water pipe. To allow the decorative panel assembly 2 to be folded and stored in a state that best fits the pipe side 11, the depth of the recessed area 12 is greater than or equal to the protrusion height of the pipe structure 4, minimizing the protrusion height of the pipe structure 4. A fixing connector of the same depth is provided below the front panel 21 in the recessed area 12, and the front panel 21 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 through the fixing connector.

[0030] In this embodiment, the pipe side 11 is disposed on the upper and / or lower side of the housing 1. In existing pipe layouts, the flue pipe is usually arranged above the gas water heater or wall-mounted boiler, and the water pipe is arranged below the gas water heater or wall-mounted boiler. Therefore, the pipe side 11 is disposed on the upper and / or lower side of the housing 1.

[0031] Example 2 like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment is basically the same as embodiment 1, except that the quick-release structure 3 is different from that in embodiment 1. In this embodiment, the quick-release structure 3 is snap-fitted to the side plate 22. When the decorative panel assembly 2 is in the unfolded state, the side plate 22 is secured to the pipe side 11 by means of snap-fit ​​connection.

[0032] Furthermore, the quick-release structure 3 includes a rotating component 32 and a slot 33. The rotating component 32 has a rotating end 321 and a free end 322. The rotating end 321 is rotatably connected to the side plate 22. The slot 33 is disposed on the pipe side 11. When the decorative panel assembly 2 is in the unfolded state, the free end 322 is engaged in the slot 33. When the decorative panel assembly 2 is in the folded state, the free end 322 is separated from the slot 33.

[0033] Specifically, when the decorative panel assembly 2 needs to be unfolded and fixed to the pipe side 11, the operator only needs to rotate the rotating component 32 to accurately engage the free end 322 into the slot 33, thus quickly connecting the side panel 22 to the pipe side 11. The entire operation is simple and convenient, requiring no additional tools and greatly improving installation efficiency. Moreover, this locking method provides a relatively stable connection, ensuring that the decorative panel assembly 2 will not easily shake or shift in the unfolded state, enhancing the stability and reliability of the structure.

[0034] When the decorative panel assembly 2 needs to be folded and stored, simply rotate the rotating component 32 in the opposite direction to separate the free end 322 from the slot 33, thus easily separating the side panel 22 from the pipe side 11. This quick-disassembly function facilitates the storage and transportation of the decorative panel assembly 2 and reduces the space it occupies.

[0035] Example 3 like Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment is basically the same as embodiment 1, except that the connection method between the front panel 21, the side panel 22 and the pipe side 11 of the decorative panel assembly 2 is changed. In this embodiment, the decorative panel assembly 2 includes a front panel 21 and a side panel 22, wherein the front panel 21 is rotatably connected to the housing 1; the side panel 22 is rotatably connected to the housing 1; when the decorative panel assembly 2 is in a folded state, the side panel 22 is folded and stored on the pipe side 11, and the front panel 21 is folded and stored on the pipe side 11. Specifically, the front panel 21 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 via a hinge structure such as a pin or hinge, and the side panel 22 is also rotatably connected to the housing 1 via a hinge structure such as a pin or hinge. When folding and storing the decorative panel assembly 2, the side panel 22 is folded and stored on the pipe side 11 first, and then the front panel 21 is folded and stored on the pipe side 11. When unfolding the decorative panel assembly 2, the front panel 21 is unfolded first, and then the side panel 22 is unfolded. Furthermore, to ensure overall aesthetics, it is preferable to install the hinge structure within the storage area to avoid exposure.

[0036] Furthermore, the front panel 21 is detachably connected to the side panel 22 via a quick-release structure 3. When the decorative panel assembly 2 is in the unfolded state, the quick-release structure 3 can secure the side panel 22 to the front panel 21, improving the overall structural stability. When the decorative panel assembly 2 needs to be folded for storage, the quick-release structure 3 can be disassembled to separate the side panel from the front panel. Preferably, the quick-release structure 3 is installed within the storage area to avoid exposure.

[0037] The quick-release structure 3 includes a magnet 31, which is disposed on the front plate 21 or the side plate 22. The side plate 22 is connected to the front plate 21 by the magnetic attraction of the magnet 31.

[0038] Example 4 This embodiment is basically the same as embodiment 3, except that the quick-release structure 3 is snap-fitted to the side panel 22. When the decorative panel assembly 2 is in the unfolded state, the side panel 22 is secured to the front panel 21 by snap-fitting. The quick-release structure 3 includes a rotating component 32 and a slot 33. The rotating component 32 has a rotating end 321 and a free end 322. The rotating end 321 is rotatably connected to the side panel 22. The slot 33 is disposed on the front panel 21. When the decorative panel assembly 2 is in the unfolded state, the free end 322 is engaged in the slot 33. When the decorative panel assembly 2 is in the folded state, the free end 322 is separated from the slot 33.

[0039] This utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. If any modifications or variations to this utility model do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model, and if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims and equivalent technologies of this utility model, then this utility model also intends to include such modifications and variations.
