Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a heating appliance structure, and, more specifically, particularly relates to a thermal insulation space that effectively obstructs heat transfer, wherein the thermal insulation space is used to block the dissipation of heat energy to a water storage area, and at the same time blocks the transmission of the low temperature of cold water in the water storage area to a heating area, thereby preventing the loss of heat energy stored in the heating area, and thus achieving a heating appliance structure with the function that provides a reliable thermal insulated heating area and a water storage area, and does away with the method of only using a metal plate to serve as a thermal insulation structure of the prior art.
