[0040] The present application will be further described in the following by way of embodiments, but the present application is not limited in the scope of the embodiments.

[0041] Embodiment 1

[0042] The cleaning method of the gas water heater provided in the present embodiment comprises the following steps. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the gas water heater comprises a heat exchanger 1, and an oscillator 2 is arranged outside the heat exchanger 1, as shown in the figure. Figure 2 The cleaning method comprises the following steps.

[0043] Step 101: judging whether the accumulated combustion time of the gas water heater is greater than a preset combustion time, if yes, executing step 102; if no, ending.

[0044] In the present embodiment, the preset combustion time is set according to actual conditions, for example, the preset combustion time can be set as 50 hours, or other values, which are not limited here.

[0045] Step 102: judging whether the gas water heater is in a non-use state, if yes, executing step 103; if no, executing step 104.

[0046] Step 103: controlling the oscillator to be turned on to shake off the impurities inside the heat exchanger through the oscillator.

[0047] In the present embodiment, after the oscillator is controlled to be turned on, the oscillator will drive the whole heat exchanger to vibrate violently, similar to shaking off the impurities on hands, to shake off the impurities inside the heat exchanger.

[0048] Specifically, the structure of the oscillator is shown in the figure. Figure 3 The working principle of the oscillator is as follows: when the oscillator is turned on, Figure 3 the circuit in the figure is powered (i.e. the switch K1 is closed, and the circuit is powered through the power supply VCC), at this time, the relay 221 generates magnetic force to attract the magnet 222 (i.e. the B point is attracted), and the C point knocks the metal disc 223. At the same time, the A point is disconnected; when the circuit is disconnected (i.e. the switch K1 is opened), the relay 221 does not generate magnetic force, the B point is disconnected and reset, and thus the C point continuously knocks the metal disc 223 to complete high-speed vibration.

[0049] In this embodiment, the impurities include, but are not limited to, scale, carbon deposition, etc.

[0050] It should be noted that the metal disc 223 in the vibrator is tightly attached to the outer wall of the heat exchanger.

[0051] Step 104, control the vibrator, the first water valve, the second water valve, and the water pump to be closed.

[0052] In this embodiment, if it is judged that the gas water heater is in use, the vibrator, the first water valve, the second water valve, and the water pump are controlled to be closed, so as to preferentially ensure that the user can normally use the gas water heater.

[0053] As an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The gas water heater further includes a first water valve 3, a water pump 4, a second water valve 5, a fan 6, a combustion chamber 7, and a proportional valve 8, as shown in Figure 4 The cleaning method further includes:

[0054] Step 105, control the water pump to be forward rotated and reverse rotated, the first water valve to be opened, and / or the fan to be opened;

[0055] In this embodiment, the fan is controlled to be opened, so as to discharge the carbon deposition outside the cavity of the combustion chamber of the gas water heater; the first water valve is controlled to be opened, so as to make the water in the pipeline of the gas water heater to be circulated and operated, thereby repeatedly flushing the scale falling from the inside of the heat exchanger to the pipeline of the gas water heater; and the water pump is controlled to be forward rotated and reverse rotated, so as to sufficiently remove the scale inside the heat exchanger.

[0056] Step 106, judge whether the running time of the vibrator, the running time of the first water valve, the forward running time of the water pump, the reverse running time of the water pump, and / or the running time of the fan reaches a first preset running time, if yes, execute step 107; if no, execute step 109;

[0057] In this embodiment, the first preset running time is set according to actual conditions, for example, the first preset running time can be set to 10 minutes, or can be set to other numerical values, which are not limited here.

[0058] Step 107, control the vibrator, the first water valve, the water pump, and / or the fan to be closed;

[0059] Step 108, control the second water valve to be opened, so as to discharge the impurities;

[0060] Step 109, continue to control the vibrator, the first water valve, the water pump, and / or the fan to be opened, until the running time of the vibrator, the running time of the first water valve, the forward running time of the water pump, the reverse running time of the water pump, and / or the running time of the fan reaches the first preset running time.

[0061] In the embodiment, after the vibrator, the first water valve, the water pump and / or the fan are controlled to operate for the first preset operation time, the vibrator, the first water valve, the water pump and / or the fan are closed, and the second water valve is opened, so that the waste water containing scale and other impurities in the gas water heater pipeline is discharged through the second water valve, thereby keeping the gas water heater pipeline clean.

[0062] In the specific implementation process, the vibrator drives the whole heat exchanger to vibrate violently, which is similar to shaking water on hands, so as to shake off the accumulated carbon and scale and other attachments in the heat exchanger due to the heat exchange of combustion flue gas. Meanwhile, the high-speed water flow in the circulating water pipeline repeatedly flushes the pipeline of the gas water heater, and finally the second water valve is opened to discharge the water containing mixed impurities. In addition, the fan is started to drive the accumulated carbon and dust to be discharged from the whole combustion chamber of the gas water heater.

[0063] It should be noted that the fan is usually started at the maximum power, so that the fan starts at a high wind speed to better drive the accumulated carbon and dust to be discharged from the combustion chamber of the gas water heater.

[0064] As an optional implementation manner, as shown in Figure 5 After step 108, the cleaning method further includes:

[0065] In step 110, it is judged whether the operation time of the second water valve reaches a second preset operation time. If yes, step 111 is executed; if no, the process is ended.

[0066] In step 111, the second water valve is controlled to be closed.

[0067] In the embodiment, the second preset operation time is set according to actual conditions. The second preset operation time can be the same as the first preset operation time, or can be different from the first preset operation time, which is not limited here.

[0068] It should be noted that the first water valve and the second water valve are usually normally closed valves.

[0069] In the specific implementation process, when the impurities only include scale, only the vibrator, the first water valve, the water pump and the second water valve need to be opened. Specifically, the vibrator, the first water valve and the water pump are first controlled to be opened, so that the whole heat exchanger is vibrated violently by the vibrator to shake off the scale in the heat exchanger. Then, the water in the gas water heater pipeline is circulated by the first water valve and the water pump, so as to repeatedly flush the scale falling from the heat exchanger into the gas water heater pipeline. When the vibrator, the first water valve and the water pump operate for the first preset operation time, the vibrator, the first water valve and the water pump are closed, and the second water valve is opened, so that the waste water containing scale and other impurities in the gas water heater pipeline is discharged through the second water valve.

[0070] In the case that the impurities only include carbon deposition, only the vibrator and the fan need to be turned on, and the first water valve, the water pump and the second water valve do not need to be turned on. After the carbon deposition inside the heat exchanger is shaken off by the vibrator, the carbon deposition is discharged outside the cavity of the combustion chamber of the gas water heater by the fan.

[0071] In the case that the impurities include scale and carbon deposition, the vibrator, the first water valve, the water pump, the second water valve and the fan are turned on. Specifically, the fan, the vibrator, the first water valve and the water pump are first controlled to be turned on. The heat exchanger is violently vibrated by the vibrator to shake off the carbon deposition generated inside the heat exchanger due to the heat exchange of combustion flue gas, and the scale and other attachments inside the heat exchanger. At the same time, the pipeline of the gas water heater is repeatedly flushed by the high-speed water flow of the circulating water path, and then the second water valve is opened to discharge the waste water containing scale and other impurities. The fan is started to drive the carbon deposition and dust to be discharged from the combustion chamber of the entire gas water heater.

[0072] In the case that the impurities only include carbon deposition, only the vibrator and the fan need to be turned on, and the first water valve, the water pump and the second water valve do not need to be turned on. After the carbon deposition inside the heat exchanger is shaken off by the vibrator, the carbon deposition is discharged outside the cavity of the combustion chamber of the gas water heater by the fan.

[0073] Embodiment 2

As shown in Figure 6 The cleaning system includes a first judgment module 21, a second judgment module 22 and a first control module 23.

[0075] The first judgment module 21 is configured to judge whether the cumulative combustion time of the gas water heater is greater than a preset combustion time. If yes, the second judgment module 22 is called. If no, the process is ended.

[0076] In the embodiment, the preset combustion time is set according to the actual situation. For example, the preset combustion time can be set to 50 hours, or other values, which are not limited here.

[0077] The second judgment module 22 is configured to judge whether the gas water heater is in a non-use state. If yes, the first control module 23 is called.

[0078] The first control module 23 is configured to control the vibrator to be turned on to shake off the impurities inside the heat exchanger.

[0079] In the embodiment, after the vibrator is controlled to be turned on, the vibrator will drive the whole heat exchanger to vibrate violently, and the impurities inside the heat exchanger will be shaken off like the impurities shaken off by a person.

[0080] Specifically, the structure of the vibrator is as shown in Figure 3 The working principle of the vibrator is as follows: when the vibrator is turned on, Figure 3 the circuit in the vibrator is powered on (i.e., the switch K1 is closed, and the circuit is powered on through the power supply VCC), at this time, the relay 221 generates a magnetic force to attract the magnet 222 (i.e., the B point is attracted), and the C point knocks the metal disc 223. At the same time, the A point is disconnected; when the circuit is disconnected (i.e., the switch K1 is opened), the relay 221 does not generate a magnetic force, the B point is disconnected and reset, and thus the C point continuously knocks the metal disc 223 to complete high-speed vibration.

[0081] In the embodiment, the impurities include, but are not limited to, scale, carbon deposition and the like.

[0082] It should be noted that the metal disc 223 in the vibrator is tightly attached to the outer wall of the heat exchanger.

[0083] As an optional implementation, as shown in Figure 1 the gas water heater further comprises a first water valve 3, a water pump 4, a second water valve 5, a fan 6, a combustion chamber 7 and a proportional valve 8, as shown in Figure 6 the cleaning system further comprises a second control module 24, a third judgment module 25, a third control module 26 and a fourth control module 27;

[0084] The second control module 24 is used to control the water pump to rotate forward and reverse, the first water valve to be opened and / or the fan to be turned on;

[0085] In the embodiment, the fan is controlled to be turned on to discharge the carbon deposition outside the cavity of the combustion chamber of the gas water heater, the first water valve is controlled to be opened to make the water in the pipeline of the gas water heater to circulate and run, so as to repeatedly flush the scale falling from the inside of the heat exchanger to the pipeline of the gas water heater, and the water pump is controlled to rotate forward and reverse to sufficiently remove the scale inside the heat exchanger.

[0086] The third judgment module 25 is used to judge whether the running time of the vibrator, the running time of the first water valve, the forward running time of the water pump, the reverse running time of the water pump and / or the running time of the fan reaches a first preset running time, if yes, the third control module 26 is called, and if no, the second control module 24 is called;

[0087] In the embodiment, the first preset running time is set according to actual conditions, for example, the first preset running time can be set to 10 minutes, or other values, which are not limited here.

[0088] The third control module 26 is configured to control the vibrator, the first water valve, the water pump and / or the fan to be closed.

[0089] The fourth control module 27 is configured to control the second water valve to be opened to discharge the impurities.

[0090] The second control module 24 is configured to continue to control the vibrator, the first water valve, the water pump and / or the fan to be opened until the running time of the vibrator, the running time of the first water valve, the forward rotation running time of the water pump, the reverse rotation running time of the water pump and / or the running time of the fan reaches the first preset running time.

[0091] In the embodiment, after the vibrator, the first water valve, the water pump and / or the fan are controlled to run for the first preset running time, the vibrator, the first water valve, the water pump and / or the fan are closed, and the second water valve is opened to discharge the waste water with the impurities such as the scale in the pipeline of the gas water heater, so as to keep the pipeline of the gas water heater clean.

[0092] In the specific implementation process, the vibrator drives the whole heat exchanger to vibrate violently, which is similar to shaking the water on the hand, and shakes off the carbon deposition and the scale deposition in the heat exchanger due to the heat exchange of the combustion flue gas. At the same time, the high-speed water flow in the circulating water pipeline repeatedly flushes the pipeline of the gas water heater, and finally the second water valve is opened to discharge the water mixed with the impurities. In addition, the fan is started to drive the carbon deposition and dust to be discharged from the whole combustion chamber of the gas water heater.

[0093] It should be noted that the fan is usually started at the maximum power, so that the fan starts at a high wind speed to better drive the carbon deposition and dust to be discharged from the combustion chamber of the gas water heater.

[0094] As an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 6 the cleaning system further comprises a fourth judgment module 28 and a fifth control module 29;

[0095] The fourth judgment module 28 is configured to judge whether the running time of the second water valve reaches a second preset running time. If yes, the fifth control module 29 is called; if no, the process is ended.

[0096] The fifth control module 29 is configured to control the second water valve to be closed.

[0097] In the embodiment, the second preset running time is set according to the actual situation. The second preset running time can be the same as the first preset running time, or can be different from the first preset running time, which is not limited here.

[0098] It should be noted that the first water valve and the second water valve are usually normally closed valves.

[0099] As an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 6As shown, the cleaning system further comprises a sixth control module 291.

[0100] The sixth control module 291 is configured to control the vibrator, the first water valve, the second water valve and the water pump to be closed if it is determined that the gas water heater is not in the non-use state.

[0101] In this embodiment, if it is determined that the gas water heater is in the use state, the vibrator, the first water valve, the second water valve and the water pump are controlled to be closed to ensure that the user can normally use the gas water heater.

[0102] In the specific implementation process, in the case where the impurities only include scale, only the vibrator, the first water valve, the water pump and the second water valve need to be turned on. Specifically, the vibrator, the first water valve and the water pump are first controlled to be turned on, so that the entire heat exchanger is vibrated violently by the vibrator to shake off the scale inside the heat exchanger. Then, the water in the pipeline of the gas water heater is circulated by the first water valve and the water pump, so as to repeatedly flush the scale falling from the inside of the heat exchanger to the pipeline of the gas water heater. When the vibrator, the first water valve and the water pump have all run for a first preset running time, the vibrator, the first water valve and the water pump are closed, and the second water valve is turned on to discharge the waste water containing the scale and other impurities in the pipeline of the gas water heater.

[0103] In the case where the impurities only include carbon deposition, only the vibrator and the fan need to be turned on, and the first water valve, the water pump and the second water valve do not need to be turned on. After the carbon deposition inside the heat exchanger is shaken off by the vibrator, the carbon deposition is discharged outside the cavity of the combustion chamber of the gas water heater by the fan.

[0104] In the case where the impurities include scale and carbon deposition, the vibrator, the first water valve, the water pump, the second water valve and the fan are turned on. Specifically, the fan, the vibrator, the first water valve and the water pump are first controlled to be turned on, so that the entire heat exchanger is vibrated violently by the vibrator to shake off the carbon deposition generated by the heat exchange of the combustion flue gas inside the heat exchanger, as well as the scale and other attachments inside the heat exchanger. At the same time, the pipeline of the gas water heater is repeatedly flushed by the circulating water circuit using high-speed water flow, and then the waste water containing the scale and other impurities is discharged by turning on the second water valve. The fan is started to drive the carbon deposition and other dust to be discharged out of the combustion chamber of the entire gas water heater.

[0105] In this embodiment, the vibrator is arranged outside the heat exchanger in the gas water heater. When it is determined that the cumulative combustion time of the gas water heater is greater than a preset combustion time and the gas water heater is in the non-use state, the vibrator is controlled to be turned on to shake off the impurities inside the heat exchanger by the vibrator. The gas water heater can be cleaned by using a mechanical and physical method, which avoids the risk of corrosion of the pipeline of the gas water heater caused by using chemical reagents and other cleaning agents, and improves the user experience.
