Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of gas water heaters, specifically, it relates to a gas water heater that leaks or shuts off water. Background Technology

[0002] Water heater leaks causing flooding are a frequent occurrence in homes, resulting in significant losses for users. The main causes of water heater leaks are: in areas with poor water quality, prolonged use can lead to corrosion and perforation of the water tank; in winter, insufficient drainage can cause freezing and cracking; and with long-term use, the rubber seals at the water pipe connections may age. If users fail to detect these leaks in time, flooding is highly likely.

[0003] Water heater leaks can be caused by a variety of factors, but current technology mainly uses leak detection boxes to detect leaks. However, it's difficult to pinpoint which pipe is leaking, requiring a piecemeal inspection, which reduces repair efficiency. Furthermore, when a perforation occurs in the tank, water will flow directly out of the gas water heater. Even with the inlet valve closed, water will continue to flow until the tank is completely empty. Stopping the flow is difficult and disruptive during repairs, and the large volume of water lost makes cleaning up time-consuming.

[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, this utility model provides a gas water heater that leaks and shuts off water. Utility Model Content

[0011] Furthermore, a set of fasteners is installed at the top of the interior of the sealed box, and the fasteners and the connectors are threaded together. A set of second sealing gaskets is installed inside the fasteners.

[0012] Furthermore, a set of burners is installed inside the gas water heater body, and the burners are installed below the water tank.

[0013] Furthermore, a smoke collection system is installed at the top of the water tank, and an exhaust pipe is installed at the output end of the smoke collection system.

[0014] Furthermore, the buzzing alarm, the indicator light, the first level gauge, the solenoid main valve, and the second level gauge are electrically connected to the controller.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, the three sets of sealing boxes can seal the connection of the corresponding pipes respectively. Then, when the first level gauge at the corresponding position detects a water signal, the indicator light at the corresponding position will light up. This solves the technical problem of low maintenance efficiency caused by the need to check each pipe connection individually in the prior art.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, the water tank is set inside a U-shaped box, so when a leak occurs in the water tank, the water inside the tank will not overflow. Therefore, it will not interfere with maintenance personnel during maintenance. This solves the technical problem in the prior art that after a water tank leaks, the water inside the tank will continue to overflow before it is sealed, affecting the operation of maintenance personnel, and the large amount of water that flows out is difficult to clean. Therefore, it is more convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The utility model will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4According to an embodiment of the present invention, a gas water heater that leaks and shuts off water includes a gas water heater body 1. A controller 2 and a buzzer alarm 3 are installed on one side of the gas water heater body 1. Three sets of sealed boxes 4 are installed at the bottom of the gas water heater body 1. Each set of sealed boxes 4 has a sealed box door 401 hinged to one side. A set of sealed boxes 4 is installed at the connection points of the inlet pipe 5, cold water outlet pipe 6, and hot water outlet pipe 7 with the gas water heater body 1. When a leak occurs at one of the pipe connections, water can accumulate inside the sealed box 4, where a corresponding first level gauge 40... 4 sends a signal to controller 2, which then controls the corresponding indicator light 402 to illuminate. Simultaneously, controller 2 also controls the solenoid main valve 501 and the burner 10 to close, thus cutting off the water supply. Based on the indicator light 402, the user can accurately determine the location of the leak, eliminating the need for individual inspections and improving maintenance efficiency. Because it automatically shuts off the water supply after a leak, when inspecting the three sets of pipes separately, water needs to be continuously supplied. During this process, water will continuously drip, allowing for accurate identification of which pipe is leaking. Water is collected in corresponding sealed boxes 4 to prevent dripping and maintain a clean environment. Each set of sealed box doors 401 has an indicator light 402 installed on one side. A first level gauge 404 is fixedly installed inside one side of each sealed box 4. The three sets of sealed boxes 4 are respectively equipped with an inlet pipe 5, a cold water outlet pipe 6, and a hot water outlet pipe 7. An electromagnetic main valve 501 is installed on the inlet pipe 5. A U-shaped box 9 is installed inside the gas water heater body 1. A second level gauge 901 is installed on one side of the inside of the U-shaped box 9. A water tank 902 is installed inside the U-shaped box 9 to collect water. Tank 902 is installed inside U-shaped box 9. Therefore, when there is a leak in tank 902, the second level gauge 901 will detect it and send a signal to controller 2. Controller 2 will then control the solenoid main valve 501 and the burner 10 to close, and can also control the buzzer alarm 3 to sound to remind the user that there is a leak in tank 902. Since tank 902 is inside U-shaped box 9, the water inside tank 902 will not flow out. Therefore, there is no need to worry about all the water in tank 902 flowing out and making it difficult to clean. At the same time, there will be no water flowing out during maintenance, which would affect the operation of the staff.

[0027] According to the above-described scheme of this utility model, a first drain pipe 403 is installed at the bottom of each set of sealed boxes 4. A first valve is installed on the first drain pipe 403, which can drain the water accumulated inside the sealed box 4. A first sealing gasket 405 is installed at the bottom inside the sealed box 4. The first sealing gasket 405 is sleeved on the outside of the water inlet pipe 5, the cold water outlet pipe 6, and the hot water outlet pipe 7. The first sealing gasket 405 can seal the sealed box 4 to prevent water from overflowing. A set of connectors 601 is installed on the water inlet pipe 5, the cold water outlet pipe 6, and the hot water outlet pipe 7. A set of connectors 601 is installed at the top inside the sealed box 4. The fixing component 8 and the connecting component 601 are threaded together. A set of second sealing gaskets 801 are installed inside the fixing component 8. The second sealing gaskets 801 can seal the connection between the pipe and the fixing component 8 to prevent water leakage. A set of burners 10 is installed inside the gas water heater body 1. The burners 10 are installed below the water tank 902. A set of smoke collection system 11 is installed at the top of the water tank 902. A set of exhaust pipes 12 is installed at the output end of the smoke collection system 11. The buzzing alarm 3, the indicator light 402, the first liquid level gauge 404, the solenoid main valve 501 and the second liquid level gauge 901 are electrically connected to the controller 2.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model patent for a leaking gas water heater is as follows: the buzzing alarm 3, the indicator light 402, the solenoid main valve 501, the burner 10, and the smoke collection system 11 are all mature technologies well-known to those skilled in the art, and their specific structures and working principles will not be described in detail here. During use, when a leak occurs at the pipe connection, the corresponding first level gauge 404 detects the water signal and sends a signal to the controller 2. The controller 2 then controls the corresponding indicator light 402 to illuminate, and simultaneously controls the solenoid main valve 501. 01 and the fire vent 10 are closed to cut off the water supply. According to the indicator light 402, the user can accurately determine the location of the leak. When the water tank 902 leaks, the leaked water will be collected inside the U-shaped box 9, thus preventing it from overflowing. At the same time, after the second level gauge 901 detects the water signal, it will send a signal to the controller 2. The controller 2 will control the solenoid main valve 501 and the fire vent 10 to close, and can also control the buzzing alarm 3 to sound to remind the user that the water tank 902 is leaking.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
