The utility model relates to the technical field of
solar water heaters, and discloses a
solar water heater with an overheating protection function, which comprises a support, the top end face of the support is fixedly connected with a heat preservation
barrel, the heat preservation
barrel is fixedly connected with a heat collection
pipe, and the side wall of the heat preservation
barrel is provided with a protection
assembly. According to the
solar water heater with the overheating protection function, the shading cloth is pulled to reduce or completely shade the heat collecting
pipe and reduce or stop heating of water,
water vapor enters the water tank through the air inlet
pipe, so that the pressure in the water tank is increased, the water in the water tank is pressed into the heat preservation barrel through the third water inlet pipe, boiling of the water in the heat preservation barrel is stopped, and the water in the heat preservation barrel is heated. The
water heater is protected and prevented from being damaged, hot steam exchanges heat with water in the water tank through the heating pipeline, the temperature of the water in the water tank is increased, the situation that the
water temperature in the heat preservation barrel is excessively reduced due to the fact that the
water temperature is too low is avoided, and the water using experience of a user is improved.
