[0040] The auxiliary heating device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a heating body 1, a heating rod 2, a heating wire 3, and a fixing ear 4. The heating body 1 includes a hollow main body portion 110 and a hollow heating rib 111 provided on one side of the main body portion 110, and the main body portion 110 and the heating rib 111 communicate with each other. The heating rod 2 is disposed within the heating rib 111. The heating wire 3 is disposed within the main body portion 110, wherein the heating wire 3 and the heating rod 2 are used to heat the fluid flowing through the heating body 1. The fixing ear 4 is fixedly connected to the heating rib 111 and is used to fix the auxiliary heating device. The main body portion 110 has a cuboid structure, and the heating ribs 111 are multiple and symmetrically disposed on one side of the main body portion 110.
[0041] Among them, the heating body 1 is a ceramic heater. The main body portion 110 has a plate-like structure in the shape of a cuboid, and the heating rib 111 also has a cuboid structure. The number of the heating ribs 111 can be one, two or more. However, the number thereof is less than that of the water box flow channel module 511. The main shape and size of the reinforcing rib 111 are determined by two adjacent water box flow channel modules 511, and the reinforcing rib 111 is embedded between the two water box flow channel modules 511 to achieve the function of enhancing heat conduction. Preferably, the number of the heating ribs 111 is 3. The fixing ear 4 can be disposed on one heating rib 111 or on all the heating ribs 111. When the number of the heating ribs 111 is 3, preferably the fixing ear 4 can be disposed on the middle heating rib 111. Through holes can be opened on the fixing ear 4 to be connected to the water box flow channel device 51 by bolts. The heating body 1, that is, the heating rib 111 and the main body portion 110, has a cavity.
[0042] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the heating wire 3 is arranged in a zigzag shape within the main body portion 110 to increase the heat exchange area. The filling material 14 is filled in the space between the heating wires 3 and is used for heat preservation.
[0043] As Figure 2As shown, the heating wire 3 is zigzag bent and arranged in the main body part 110, which can effectively increase the heat exchange area. The filling material 14 can not only play a heat preservation role but also support the heating wire 3.
[0044] The coil-less heat exchange device of the embodiment of the present invention includes a stainless steel heat exchange main body 5 and the auxiliary heating device as described above. Water box flow channel devices 51 are arranged on both sides of the stainless steel heat exchange main body 5. Among them, the water box flow channel device 51 includes a plurality of water box flow channel modules 511 arranged in parallel. There are 2 auxiliary heating devices, and the 2 auxiliary heating devices are respectively installed on the water box flow channel module 51 through fixing ears 4, so that each heating rib 111 is inserted between two adjacent water box flow channel modules 511 for heating the liquid flowing through the stainless steel heat exchange main body 5.
[0045] As Figure 3 shown, since the stainless steel heat exchange main body 5 is not easy to bend, the water box flow channel devices 4 are arranged on its left and right sides. At the same time, the auxiliary heating device is needed. One auxiliary heating device is fixed on the left and one on the right. At the same time, the heating rib 111 is inserted between two adjacent water box flow channel modules 511.
[0046] The gas water heater of the embodiment of the present invention includes a burner system 6, an exhaust system 7, the aforementioned coil-less heat exchange device, an outlet water temperature sensor 8, an inlet water temperature sensor 9, a flow sensor 10, an operation panel 11, a temperature sensing probe 12, and a controller 13. The burner system 6 is used for burning gas. The exhaust system 7 is communicated with the burner system 6. The coil-less heat exchange device is communicated with the burner system 6 and is used for heating the fluid flowing through it by the heat generated by the combustion of the burner system 6. The outlet water temperature sensor 8 is used for detecting the temperature of the fluid flowing out of the gas water heater. The inlet water temperature sensor 9 is used for detecting the temperature of the fluid flowing into the gas water heater. The flow sensor 10 is used for detecting the flow rate of the fluid flowing into the gas water heater. An auxiliary heating mode button is arranged on the operation panel 11 for manually activating the auxiliary heating mode. The temperature sensing probe 12 is used for sensing the temperature of the fluid in the gas water heater. The controller 13 is connected to the outlet water temperature sensor 8, the inlet water temperature sensor 9, and the flow sensor 10 and is used for selecting to turn on or off the auxiliary heating mode or the gas operation mode; the controller 13 is connected to the temperature sensing probe 12 and is used for turning on or off the anti-freezing heating mode; the controller 13 is connected to and controls the burner system 6, the coil-less heat exchange device, and the operation panel 11.
[0047] As Figure 4As shown, when the controller 13 determines that it is necessary to enter the gas operation mode, the burner system 6 is activated and air is provided to the burner system 6 from the exhaust system 7 at the same time so that the gas in the burner system 6 burns, and the generated heat is input into the coil-less heat exchange device to exchange heat with the fluid flowing through it. The outlet water temperature sensor 8 is installed at the outlet pipe of the gas water heater. The inlet water temperature sensor 9 is installed at the inlet pipe of the gas water heater. The flow sensor 10 is also installed at the inlet pipe of the gas water heater. The outlet water temperature sensor 8, the inlet water temperature sensor 9 and the flow sensor 10 can perform real-time detection and calculate the real-time temperature difference between the inlet and outlet water and the inlet water flow. The controller 13 can calculate the real-time demand load based on the data fed back. The temperature sensing probe 12 is used to detect the temperature of the fluid existing in the gas water heater in real time. The controller 13 determines whether to enter the anti-freezing heating mode based on the data fed back by the temperature sensing probe 12. The temperature sensing probe is a mechanical control switch and can be automatically disconnected or closed under the set temperature condition.
[0048] Figure 5 The flowchart of an auxiliary heating control method provided by the present invention is shown.
[0049] The auxiliary heating control method for the aforementioned gas water heater according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:
[0050] S1: Activate the auxiliary heating mode;
[0051] S2: Measure the inlet water temperature, the outlet water temperature, and the inlet water flow in real time and calculate the real-time demand load Q according to the formula Q = CMΔt 实 ;
[0052] S3: If 0 < Q 实 <= Q 预设1 , then start one of the auxiliary heating devices;
[0053] S4: If Q 预设1 < Q 实 <= Q 预设2 , then start two auxiliary heating devices simultaneously, where Q 预设2 > Q 预设1 ;
[0054] S5: If Q 实 > Q 预设2 , then exit the auxiliary heating mode and start the gas operation mode.
[0055] Such as Figure 5As shown, when the auxiliary heating mode is enabled, the system calculates the required load Q according to the formula: Q = CMΔt. As a further explanation of the above solution, Q represents the energy magnitude with the unit of joule (J). C represents the specific heat. M represents the mass of the fluid, and the calculation method is well-known and can be calculated through the flow rate of the fluid and the cross-sectional area of the pipeline, etc. ΔT represents the temperature rise of the fluid, and the calculation method is also well-known and can be calculated through the inlet water temperature sensor 9 and the outlet water temperature sensor 8. Q 预设1 and Q 预设2 The values of can be calculated. They are calculated according to the magnitude intervals of the inlet water flow rate and the temperature rise, and this value will ultimately also correspond to the power of the auxiliary heating device.
[0056] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the gas water heater is in the standby condition, the temperature sensor 12 measures the temperature t of the fluid in the gas water heater in real time 1 ; when t 1 < 5°C, the anti-freezing heating mode is started, and a fluid in the gas water heater is heated by an auxiliary heating device; when t 1 ≥ 5°C and remains for more than 5 minutes, the anti-freezing heating mode is exited.
[0057] Among them, when the gas water heater is in the standby state, it is easy to burst due to the freezing of the water in the water pipe in an environment below zero. However, the gas water heater itself requires a reaction time, so the lower limit of the water temperature in the water pipe is set to 5°C. The temperature sensor 12 measures this temperature t 1 . The controller determines whether to enter the anti-freezing heating mode according to the relationship between t 1 and 5°C. According to the characteristics of the gas water heater and a large number of experiments, it is obtained that the anti-freezing heating mode can be exited when the temperature is higher than 5°C for 5 minutes continuously.
[0058] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary heating mode is applied to an environment with a small flow rate and a low temperature rise. Among them, the inlet water flow rate is greater than 2.5 L and less than 5 L, the temperature rise is less than 7°C, and the power of each auxiliary heating device is 600 w, Q 预设1 = 600 w, Q 预设2 = 1200 w.
[0059] Among them, the auxiliary heating is generally applicable to the user's usage environment with small water flow and low temperature rise requirements. Preferably, the conditions for the need of auxiliary heating generally have an inlet water flow of less than 5L. Combining with the start-up flow rate of the water heater of 2.5L, so it should be a usage environment of 2.5 - 5L. The usage environment with the need of auxiliary heating has an inlet water temperature of 28 - 32 degrees in summer. Combining with the lowest set temperature of the water heater of 35 degrees, so the required temperature is 3 - 7°C. According to the formula: Q = CM△t, it is more appropriate that the power of the auxiliary heating device is approximately in the range of 600W - 1200W. Therefore, the power of a single auxiliary heating device is taken as 600W. Different powers can also be selected according to the situation.
[0060] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, activating the auxiliary heating mode includes: turning on the auxiliary heating mode through the controller 13 or manually controlling the operation panel 11; after turning on the auxiliary heating mode, the gas water heater first enters the auxiliary heating mode to heat the internal fluid, but when the inlet water flow exceeds 5L or the temperature rise is greater than 7°C, it directly enters the gas operation mode.
[0061] Among them, in order to improve the user experience, the user can turn on the auxiliary heating mode through the manually controlled operation panel 11. At the same time, if the user forgets to turn it on, it can also be automatically turned on when the controller 13 detects suitable conditions. The gas water heater preferably first enters the auxiliary heating mode to heat the fluid with small flow and low temperature rise. When the inlet water flow exceeds 5L or the temperature rise exceeds 7°C, the auxiliary heating mode is skipped and the gas operation mode is entered.
[0062] The auxiliary heating control method of the present invention is applicable to the application environment with small flow and low temperature rise. The inlet water flow is generally between 2.5L and 5L, and the temperature rise is generally within 7°C. The water temperature in the gas water heater is detected in real time through the temperature sensor probe 12, so as to turn on the anti-freezing heating mode when the water temperature is lower than 5°C, ensuring that the water pipe of the gas water heater will not be frozen. The heating ribs 111 of the auxiliary heating device are arranged crosswise with the box flow channel module 511, and are also fixed to the water box flow channel device 51 through the fixing ears 4. Thus, an auxiliary heating device is added in the case of using the stainless steel heat exchange main body 5 without a coil heat exchange device. The auxiliary heating device is provided with a heating wire 3 and a heating rod 2. The heating wire 3 adopts a zigzag layout, increasing the heat exchange area. The filling material 14 between the heating wires 3 can play a good heat preservation effect and can also support the heating wire 3.
