Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a solar water heater having a heat collecting section and a hot water storage tank section.

A conventional solar water heater was constructed as shown in FIG. That is, 11 is a water heater unit having a heat collecting section 12 and a hot water storage tank section 13. Two water heater units 11 are provided, and these are integrally connected by a coupling fitting 14. Reference numeral 15 denotes a handle fixed on the central axis line A of each water heater unit 11, and reference numeral 16 denotes an installation fitting fixed to the corner portion of the two water heater units 11 that are integrally connected. This is to hold the end of the wire 17 when two water heater units 11 are installed.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, since the handle 15 is fixed on the central axis A of the water heater unit 11, for example, when two water heater units 11 are separated, one water heater unit 1
When carrying 1, hold the handle 15 with one hand.
If you pick up the water heater unit 11 by holding it, let it float to a certain extent, and then place your other hand on the bottom of the water heater unit 11, the side where the other hand is not placed relative to the center axis A of the water heater unit 11 Since the water heater unit 11 is heavy, it becomes very unstable to hold the water heater unit 11, and as a result, there is a great danger that the water heater unit 11 will be knocked over if it loses its balance. Furthermore, even when the two water heater units 11 are integrally connected and installed on a roof or the like, separate installation fittings 16 must be installed at the corners of the two water heater units 11. This had the disadvantage of increasing costs accordingly.

In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional technology, the present invention is designed to improve the position of the handle so that it can be carried in a stable manner during transportation, and the handle can also serve as a mounting tool during installation. be.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the drawings showing one embodiment thereof. In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 has a heat collecting section 2 and a hot water storage tank section 3, and the heat collecting section 2 and hot water storage tank section 3 are arranged in a bottom case 4 as shown in FIG. Two water heater units 1 are provided, and these are integrally connected by a coupling fitting 5. In addition, the two water heater units 1
, the upper side of the bottom case 4 on the hot water tank section 3 side,
A handle 6 is provided on each of the lower sides of the heat collecting section 2 side, and the handle 6 is fixed eccentrically outward from the longitudinal central axis A of each of the two water heater units 1. .

With the above-described configuration, when two water heater units 1 integrally connected by the coupling fittings 5 are installed on a roof or the like, it is easy to install the two water heater units 1 by hanging the wire 7 on the handle 6. Can be installed and fixed. Also, when carrying one water heater unit 1 with the two water heater units 1 separated, lift the water heater unit 1 by holding the handle 6 with one hand, let it float to some extent, and then lift the water heater unit 1. By placing the other hand on the bottom of the water heater unit 1, the water heater unit 1 can be carried stably with both hands.

As described above, according to the present invention, handles are provided on the upper side of the hot water storage tank side and the lower side of the heat collecting part of the bottom case that constitute two water heater units integrally connected by a coupling fitting. , since this handle is fixed eccentrically outward from the longitudinal center axis of each of the two water heater units,
For example, when carrying one water heater unit with the two water heater units separated, lift the water heater unit by the handle with one hand, let it float to some extent, and then place the other one on the bottom of the water heater unit. By holding your hands together, you can carry the water heater unit in a stable state with both hands, and as a result, you can safely transport it without losing your balance and having to change it. . In addition, the handles are fixed close to the corners of the two water heater units, so if you install the two water heater units on a roof, etc., use the handles to hang the wires. This eliminates the need to provide a separate installation fitting as in the conventional case, and as a result, it can be provided at a low cost.
