Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a wall-mounted water heater.

Conventionally, this type of water heater has been attached to a case surrounding a tank with a wall mount, and hung on the wall by the wall mount.

Therefore, the case itself had to be strong enough to be hung on a wall.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a case that can be hung on a wall without increasing the strength of the case.
A locking hole is formed in the front side of the hanging frame 2 hung on the wall 1 by a locking piece 4 having a bent part provided at the rear end of the support plate 10 with the tank 3 attached to the bottom thereof. 2b, and the rear part of the connecting member 5, which is connected to the connecting part 13 of the water supply pipe 8 protruding from the upper part of the tank 3, is branched and attached to the hanging frame 2.
A cover plate 6 that is engaged with a pair of left and right hanging holes 2d on the upper surface and that surrounds the tank 3 is tied to the outer periphery of the hanging frame 2 at its rear end peripheral edge, and is further attached to the front plate 6b of the cover plate 6. The back surface of the cover plate 6 is fixedly supported by the front end of the support base 10, and the cover plate 6 is extended and protruded downward by the support base 10.

In the illustrated embodiment, the hanging frame 2 is made of a plate-like body, and has a horizontally long hanging hole 2a and a locking hole 2b at the upper center and lower part, and is hung by hooks 7 provided on the wall 1 in the hanging hole 2a. I let it go down.

The upper end of the hanging frame 2 is bent forward, and a pair of hanging holes 2d, 2d are provided in the folding line 2c.

The cover plate 6 consists of a body part 6a that covers the top and bottom and both ends of the tank 3, and a front plate 6d that covers the front opening of the body part 6a.
The side frames 2e, 2e protrude from both sides of the tank 3.
The body portion 6a surrounding the body portion 6a was fastened at its rear end with bolts, and the front plate 6b was fastened to its front end opening with bolts.

However, the cover plate 6 may have a front plate 6b and a body portion 6a formed into one body.

The support base plate 10 is a leg piece 3a that protrudes from the bottom of the tank 3.
The engagement piece 4 is made to protrude from the rear end of the pointing plate 10, and both sides and the front end are folded up and down, and the sides of the body part 6a are attached to the folded parts 10a and lea on both sides. Connected with bolts and bent at the front end 10b
An insertion hole 10c for the operation knob 12a of the valve 12 provided in the gas pipe 9 is provided in the gas pipe 9, and the front plate 6b is received in the middle thereof.

In this way, the hanging frame 2 is hung on the hook 7 provided on the wall 1 through the hanging hole 2a, and the tank 3 and the cover plate 6 are attached thereto, or the hanging frame 2 with the tank 3 and the cover plate 6 attached is hooked. 7 to complete its support.

After that, the installation of the water heater is completed by connecting the water supply pipe 8 leading out from the neck of the tank 3 and the gas pipe 9 leading out from the lower part.

In this way, according to the present invention, the tank 3 is inserted into the locking hole 2b formed in the hanging frame 2 by the locking piece 4 having a bent portion provided at the rear end of the support base plate 10 attached to the bottom of the tank 3. The connecting member 5 which is locked and tied to the connecting part 13 of the water supply pipe 8 protruding from the upper part of the tank 3 is branched to the rear part of the connecting member 5 to form the hanging frame 2.
Since the tank 3 and the hanging frame 2 are locked in the pair of left and right hanging holes 2d on the upper surface, the tank 3 can be easily connected to the hanging frame 2, and the tank 3 can be moved by locking the locking piece 4 and the connecting member can be easily connected. 5 prevents the tank from tilting forward and is immovably fixed to the hanging frame 2.
Since the cover plate 6 is extended and protruded downward from the support base plate 10, the upper tank can be reliably supported by the support base plate 10. It is possible to form a sufficient space to accommodate the valve 12 etc. separated from the third side, and furthermore, the cover plate 6 surrounding the tank 3 is tied to the hanging frame 2 at the rear end periphery and the cover is Board 6
By fixing and supporting the front end of the support base plate 10 on the back surface of the front plate 6b, the load of the tank 3 is not applied to the cover plate 6, and the cover plate 6 is attached not only to the peripheral edge of the rear end but also to the front end. Since the cover plate 6 is also supported on the sides, there is an effect that the cover plate 6 can be reliably supported without tilting forward.
