Description

Technical field:

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of heat pump water heater structures, and in particular to a pipeline cleaning liquid injection device for a heat pump water heater. Background technology:

[0002] Heat pump water heaters are also called air energy water heaters. They absorb low-temperature heat from the air, gasify it through fluorine medium, compress it through a compressor, increase the pressure and temperature, and then convert it into water heating through a heat exchanger. The compressed high-temperature heat energy is used to heat the water. The heat pump in a heat pump water heater is an efficient energy-saving device that makes full use of low-grade thermal energy. Heat can be transferred spontaneously from a high-temperature object to a low-temperature object, but it cannot be transferred spontaneously in the opposite direction. The working principle of the heat pump is a mechanical device that forces heat to flow from a low-temperature object to a high-temperature object in a reverse cycle. It consumes only a small amount of reverse cycle net work to obtain a large amount of heat supply, and can effectively utilize the difficult-to-use low-grade thermal energy to achieve energy saving.

[0003] The existing air source heat pump water heater has a small water flow cross-sectional area. The scaling of the water heater pipes in the system can easily cause pipe blockage. The pipes are densely packed, and pipe blockage has a greater impact on the system. At the same time, the scaling of the pipes is difficult to clean. Summary of the invention:

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the technical problem that the existing heat pump water heater pipeline is difficult to clean after scaling, and to provide a pipeline cleaning liquid injection device for a heat pump water heater. Through the cleaning liquid injection device, a descaling agent-type cleaning liquid is regularly injected into the hot water pipeline of the water heater, thereby descaling the dense pipeline.

[0007] Furthermore, the first one-way valve and the second one-way valve each include a valve body, a valve cavity penetrating the valve body is provided inside the valve body, a movable valve core ball is provided in the valve cavity, a first water inlet hole is provided in the valve cavity near the end where the internal water flows in, the valve core ball abuts against the end of the first water inlet hole and forms a sealing fit, a limit plate is threadedly connected to the middle of the valve cavity, a second compression spring is provided between the limit plate and the valve core ball, and a through hole is opened on the limit plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the limit plate is provided with a step column protruding toward the side of the valve core ball, and the second compression spring is sleeved on the outer side of the step column.

[0009] Furthermore, a movable in-tube ball is provided in the vertical tube, a second water inlet hole is provided at one end of the vertical tube close to the sealing ball, the in-tube ball abuts against the second water inlet hole, a positioning plate is threadedly connected to the middle part of the vertical tube, a third compression spring is provided between the positioning plate and the in-tube ball, and a through hole is opened on the positioning plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a sealing plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the guide cylinder, and a ventilation hole is provided in the middle of the sealing plate.

When the pipeline needs to be cleaned, the water source at the water inlet end of the first one-way valve is closed, the drive motor is powered on, and the output shaft of the drive motor rotates to drive the rotating rod to rotate, thereby driving the spiral blade to rotate. The rotating spiral blades squeeze the liquid in the injection pipe toward the injection hole, so that the cleaning fluid is injected into the liquid adding cylinder. The spiral blades continue to rotate, so that the liquid pressure in the liquid adding cylinder continues to be above. When the pressure increases to a certain level, the pressure in the liquid presses on the lower end surface of the guide column and causes the guide column to move upward, thereby driving the sealing ball to separate from the upper end of the vertical pipe. The cleaning liquid in the liquid adding cylinder then flows into the connecting pipe and flows into the water pipe from the second one-way valve end, thereby cleaning the scale in the water pipe. The above scheme can efficiently clean the water pipe in the heat pump water heater, and can automatically add cleaning liquid to the pipeline by turning on the drive motor, which can facilitate the cleaning operation.
