AI Technical Summary
【0008】 本開示によれば、加熱手段のメンテナンスを行う際には、配管接続部をそのままにした状態で上パネルのみを着脱すれば足りる。よって、筐体を、加熱手段を収容する上側筐体とタンクを収容する下側筐体とに分割してユニット化して、筐体の側面に配管接続部を設けたものであっても、当該側面側からのメンテナンスを容易に行うことができる。 本開示の別の態様によれば、上記効果に加えて、下パネル及び上パネルは、支柱の第1板部に取り付けられて、上パネルには、配管接続部を除いて下パネルの上端部と前後の端部とに左右外側から重なる重合部が形成されているので、パネルを下パネルと上パネルとに分割しても両パネル間から筐体の内部に埃や水が侵入することを効果的に防止できる。また、第1板部が露出しないので美観を損なうこともない。 本開示の別の態様によれば、上記効果に加えて、下パネルは、第1板部に左右内側から取り付けられ、上パネルは、第1板部に左右外側から取り付けられているので、パネルを下パネルと上パネルとに分割しても両パネルに段差を設ける必要がなくなり、製造工程及びコストを抑えることができる。また、段差により美観を損なうこともなくなる。

Abstract
Claims
1. A tank for storing hot water, A water supply pipe that supplies water to the aforementioned tank, A heating means for heating the hot water in the tank, A hot water outlet pipe for discharging the hot water in the tank that has been heated by the aforementioned heating means, The tank and the heating means are housed in a housing, The housing is divided into an upper housing that houses the heating means and a lower housing that houses the tank. A hot water supply device is provided in which a panel is provided on the side of the housing to close the side, and a pipe connection part for connecting the water supply pipe and the hot water outlet pipe to the outside is provided at the lower part of the panel, The hot water supply device is divided into a lower panel on which the pipe connection portion is located and an upper panel on which the pipe connection portion is not located.
2. The housing has a frame structure that is rectangular or square in plan view, with support columns at the four corners, and the front and rear support columns on the side are L-shaped in plan view, including a first plate portion parallel to the side and a second plate portion that is bent from the first plate portion in the left-right direction and parallel to the front and rear surfaces of the housing. The hot water supply device according to claim 1, wherein the lower panel and the upper panel are attached to the first plate portion, and the upper panel has overlapping portions formed on the left and right outer sides of the upper end and front and rear ends of the lower panel and the front and rear first plate portions, excluding the pipe connection portion.
3. The hot water supply device according to claim 2, wherein the lower panel is attached to the first plate portion from the left and right inner sides, and the upper panel is attached to the first plate portion from the left and right outer sides.
