[0035] When operating a bulk transport vessel carrying hazardous liquid chemicals, in order to stably provide hot water at an appropriate temperature to meet the normal needs of the crew, such as Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, the present invention provides a shower eyewash system with hot and cold water supply. The shower eyewash system with hot and cold water supply includes a water pipe 1, a shower eyewash device 2, a cold water supply component 4, a hot water supply component 5 and a temperature control component 6.

[0036] The first end of the water pipe 1 passes through the bulkhead 100 and is located on the deck. An electric heating assembly 3 is installed on the outside of the water pipe 1. A shower and eyewash device 2 is fixedly installed on the deck and is connected to the first end of the water pipe 1. A cold water supply assembly 4 is connected to the second end of the water pipe 1. A hot water supply assembly 5 is connected to the ship's hot water tank and the second end of the water pipe 1. A temperature control assembly 6 is electrically connected to the electric heating assembly 3 and can control the electric heating assembly 3 to adjust the water temperature of the shower and eyewash device 2.

[0037] With this setup, the hot water supply assembly 5 can be used to mix hot water from the hot water tank with cold water from the cold water supply assembly 4, and then supply it to the shower eyewash 2 via the water pipe 1 as needed. During this process, the temperature control assembly 6 can also be used to control the operation of the electric heating assembly 3 to ensure that the water temperature in the shower eyewash 2 meets the required level. Even if the electric heating assembly 3 fails, the hot water supply assembly 5 can still provide a stable supply of hot water. This ensures that hot water of the appropriate temperature is consistently provided, regardless of the ambient temperature or the electric heating assembly 3, meeting the crew's normal needs.

[0038] In some embodiments, two groups of shower eyewash devices 2 are provided, and the two groups of shower eyewash devices 2 are spaced apart and arranged on the left and right sides of the fuel station area in the middle of the deck. The shower eyewash devices 2 are arranged on both sides of the middle to facilitate the crew to quickly reach and use them.

[0039] In some embodiments, the electric heating assembly 3 includes a heat pipe 31 and an electric heating belt 32. The heat pipe 31 is arranged along the extension direction of the water pipe 1, and the heat pipe 31 is in contact with the outer circumference of the water pipe 1. The electric heating belt 32 is arranged in the heat pipe 31, and the electric heating belt 32 is electrically connected to the temperature control assembly 6. Through the above arrangement, the heat pipe 31 can be used to protect the electric heating belt 32. The heat generated by the electric heating belt 32 during operation can be smoothly transferred to the water pipe 1 through the heat pipe 31, thereby heating the water pipe 1. In this embodiment, the heat pipe 31 is a copper tube, which has a certain structural strength while ensuring thermal conductivity and can effectively protect the electric heating belt 32. In other embodiments, the electric heating belt 32 can also be directly wrapped around the water pipe 1, and then a protective tube can be placed on the water pipe 1.

[0040] In some embodiments, the electric heating belt 32 is arranged on the side where the heat pipe 31 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the water pipe 1. Through the above arrangement, the heat conduction path can be shortened, thereby ensuring that the heat generated by the electric heating belt 32 can be fully utilized.

[0041] In some embodiments, the water pipe 1 and the electric heating assembly 3 are covered with a watertight insulating member 7. Specifically, the material of the watertight insulating member 7 is polyurethane. The provision of the watertight insulating member 7 protects the heat pipe 31 and the water pipe 1, preventing seawater from corroding them. Furthermore, the watertight insulating member 7 provides insulation, effectively preventing heat loss from the water in the water pipe 1.

[0042] In some embodiments, the cold water supply assembly 4 includes a cold water pipe 41, which is connected to the second end of the water supply pipe 1. A first shut-off valve 42 is provided on the cold water pipe 41. The flow of cold water can be controlled by switching the first shut-off valve 42 on and off, and by controlling the opening degree of the first shut-off valve 42. The crew can adjust the water temperature and flow rate by controlling the first shut-off valve 42 as needed.

[0043] In some embodiments, a cold water pump is provided on the cold water pipe 41 and is electrically connected to the temperature control assembly 6. By providing the cold water pump, the water flow rate of the cold water pump can be controlled as needed, thereby adjusting the water temperature and flow rate in the water pipe 1. The cold water pump is electrically connected to the temperature control assembly 6, facilitating automated control.

[0044] In some embodiments, the hot water supply assembly 5 includes a hot water pipe 51, which is connected to the hot water tank and the water pipe 1, respectively. The hot water pipe 51 is provided with a second shutoff valve 52 and a hot water pump, which is electrically connected to the temperature control assembly 6. By controlling the on / off state of the second shutoff valve 52, the hot water pipe 51 can be controlled to supply hot water to the water pipe 1. By adjusting the flow rate of the hot water pump, the flow rate of hot water entering the water pipe 1 can be controlled.

[0045] In some embodiments, the temperature control assembly 6 includes a first temperature sensor 61, a thermostat 62, and a junction box 63. The first temperature sensor 61 is used to detect the ambient temperature. The first temperature sensor 61 is electrically connected to the thermostat 62, which is electrically connected to the junction box 63. The junction box 63 is electrically connected to the hot water supply assembly 5 and the electric heating assembly 3. The first temperature sensor 61 collects the ambient temperature and transmits the signal to the thermostat 62. The thermostat 62 adjusts the amount of hot water and cold water entering the water pipe 1 according to the ambient temperature, thereby ensuring that the hot water temperature supplied by the water pipe 1 meets the usage requirements. By providing the junction box 63, the junction box 63 plays a role similar to a relay, enabling the thermostat 62 to control the hot water pump and the cold water pump with weak current, facilitating wiring while ensuring electrical safety. The thermostat 62 can be a PLC or a single-chip microcomputer, and there are no excessive restrictions here.

[0046] In some embodiments, the shower eyewash system with hot and cold water supply further includes a second temperature sensor, which is disposed on the shower eyewash device 2 and is used to detect the temperature of the hot water supplied by the shower eyewash device 2. The second temperature sensor is electrically connected to the thermostat 62. By providing the second temperature sensor, the water temperature in the water pipe 1 can be collected in real time, and thus effectively fed back to the thermostat 62, facilitating the thermostat 62 to adjust the supply of cold and hot water as needed.

[0047] The present application also provides a ship, which includes a hull and a shower and eyewash system with hot and cold water supply as described above. The shower and eyewash system with hot and cold water supply is arranged on the hull and can stably provide hot water of appropriate temperature to meet the normal use needs of the crew.

[0048] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here.
