[0030] Example

[0031] This embodiment provides a wall-mounted boiler, including: a burner, such as Figure 1 As shown, a first heating unit 1 and a second heating unit 2 are independently provided thereon. The first heating unit 1 is provided with a first water inlet 101 and a first water outlet 102, and the second heating unit 2 is provided with a second water inlet 201 and a second water outlet 202. Specifically, in this embodiment, the water in the first heating unit 1 and the second heating unit 2 is heated by gas, which flows into the burner through the gas inlet 19.

[0032] The heating unit is provided with a heating water return port 3 and a heating water outlet 4. A heating pipeline is connected between the heating water return port and the heating water outlet to heat the room.

[0033] In this embodiment, the burner adopts a burner commonly used in the prior art, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the gas enters the combustion chamber through the gas inlet 19. An ignition needle and a fire detection needle are provided inside the combustion chamber. In this embodiment, the combustion chamber is not excessively limited.

[0034] The heating return water inlet 3 is connected to the first heating unit 1, and the heating water outlet 4 is connected to the second heating unit 2; the heat exchanger 5 is connected to the domestic hot water inlet 501 and the domestic hot water outlet 502. Tap water enters the heat exchanger 5 through the domestic hot water inlet 501, flows out through the domestic hot water outlet 502 after being heated, and then enters the kitchen, bathroom and other places where hot water is needed. In this embodiment, the hot water flowing out of the first heating unit 1 enters the heat exchanger 5, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, after the heat exchange in the heat exchanger 5 is completed, it flows back to the second heating unit 2 through the fifth pipe 12.

[0035] In this embodiment, since the burner includes the first heating unit 1 and the second heating unit 2, heating water and domestic hot water can be prepared simultaneously by using one set of burners.

[0036] In this embodiment, a first pipe 6 is provided at the first water outlet 102 of the first heating unit 1, and a first three-way valve 7 is provided on the first pipe 6. The hot water flowing out through the first pipe 6 can flow into the heat exchanger 5 or into the second water inlet 201 through the first three-way valve 7.

[0037] In this embodiment, a second pipe 8 is connected between the second water outlet 202 and the heating water outlet 4. A second three-way valve 9 is provided on the second pipe 8. A third pipe 10 is provided between the second three-way valve 9 and the heat exchanger 5. The third pipe 10 is connected to the first three-way valve 7. By providing the second three-way valve 9, the hot water flowing out of the second pipe 8 can flow into the heating water outlet 4 or directly into the third pipe 10, and then into the interior of the heat exchanger 5.

[0038] In this embodiment, Figure 2-4 As shown in any one of the figures, a fifth pipe 12 is provided between the heat exchanger 5 and the second water inlet 201. Hot water entering the heat exchanger 5 flows into the fifth pipe 12 after heat exchange. A third three-way valve 13 is provided on the fifth pipe 12. A sixth pipe 14 is connected between the heating return water port 3 and the third three-way valve 13. A fourth pipe 11 is provided between the first water inlet 101 and the heating return water port 3. One end of the sixth pipe 14 is connected to the fourth pipe 11.

[0039] A temperature limiter 15 is also installed on the second pipe 8. This prevents the hot water heated by the second heating unit from overheating. A water pump 16 is also installed on the fourth pipe 11, positioned at the rear end of the connection between the fourth pipe 11 and the sixth pipe 14, along the flow direction of the water. This ensures that water flowing in through the heating return port can flow steadily into the first heating unit.

[0040] In this embodiment, a domestic hot water outlet pipe 17 is provided on the domestic hot water outlet 502, and a temperature sensing package 18 is provided on the domestic hot water outlet pipe 17. By providing the domestic hot water outlet pipe 17, the hot water flowing out of the heat exchanger 5 is discharged to the outside.

[0041] The wall-mounted boiler provided in this embodiment can achieve three heating modes:

[0042] The first one is the single heating mode: Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The arrows in the middle give the direction of water flow:

[0043] In the separate heating mode, only the heating equipment such as floor heating is heated. First, the burner is controlled to start and the first heating unit and the second heating unit are heated. The low-temperature water in the heating equipment first enters the fourth pipe through the heating return port. The fourth pipe 11 is connected to the first water inlet 101 of the first heating unit, and the water is first heated inside the first heating unit. After the initial heating is completed, the water flows out through the first water outlet 102 and enters the first three-way valve 7, and then flows into the second water inlet 201 of the second heating unit 2 for secondary heating. After the secondary heating is completed, the water flows out through the second water outlet 202 and enters the second pipe 8. At this time, the second three-way valve 9 is controlled to be directly connected to the heating outlet 4, so that the water heated twice flows into the heating equipment.

[0044] The second type is the separate domestic hot water mode: Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The arrows in the middle give the direction of water flow:

[0045] In the separate domestic hot water mode, water does not enter the heating equipment. The water pump 16 is started, and the circulating water flows out of the heat exchanger 5 and into the third three-way valve 13, and then enters the fourth pipe 11 in the direction indicated by the arrow in the figure. The water in the fourth pipe 11 first flows into the first heating unit for preliminary heating, and then flows out of the first water outlet 102 and enters the first three-way valve 7. The water flowing out of the first three-way valve 7 flows again into the second water inlet 201 of the second heating unit 2, and is heated again inside the second heating unit 2. After being heated again, the water flows out through the second water outlet 202 and enters the second pipe 8. The water flows into the second three-way valve 9, and then flows into the third pipe 10 under the diversion of the second three-way valve 9, and flows back to the inside of the heat exchanger 5 through the third pipe 10.

[0046] The heat exchanger 5 is connected to a domestic hot water inlet 501 and a domestic hot water outlet 502. The water heated by the first heating unit and the second heating unit exchanges heat with the domestic hot water inside the heat exchanger 5, thereby ensuring the water temperature of the domestic hot water.

[0047] The third mode is heating and domestic hot water mode. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 4 The arrows in the middle give the direction of water flow:

[0048] When water pump 16 is started, the heating water inside the heating equipment flows through the heating return port 3 into the fourth pipe 11, then enters the first heating unit through the first water inlet 101 for heating. The water heated by the first heating unit 1 flows through the first water outlet 102 and then into the first three-way valve 7. By controlling the first three-way valve 7, the water flowing out of the first three-way valve 7 flows into the third pipe 10, and then into the heat exchanger 5 for heat exchange. The heat exchanger 5 is connected to a domestic hot water inlet 501 and a domestic hot water outlet 502. The hot water flowing out of the first heating unit heats the water flowing into the heat exchanger 5 through the domestic hot water inlet 501, thereby producing domestic hot water.

[0049] At the same time, the water flowing out of the heat exchanger 5 flows into the third three-way valve 13, and then flows into the second heating unit 2 through the second water inlet 201 for reheating. The reheated water flows out through the second water outlet 202 and flows into the second pipe 8. After the water flows to the second three-way valve 9, the third three-way valve 13 is controlled so that the water flows directly to the heating water outlet, thereby realizing the preparation of heating water.

[0050] In this embodiment, domestic hot water and heating water can be prepared simultaneously by controlling the first three-way valve, the second three-way valve, the third three-way valve, the first heating unit and the second heating unit.

[0051] Specifically, the first three-way valve, the second three-way valve and the third three-way valve are all solenoid valves, and the control of different flow directions of the three-way valves can be achieved through simple control logic. In this embodiment, too many restrictions are placed on the three-way valves.

[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
