Detailed Implementation

[0054] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0055] The flowchart shown in the attached diagram is for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily include all content and operations / steps, nor does it necessarily have to be performed in the order described. For example, some operations / steps can be broken down, combined, or partially merged, so the actual execution order may change depending on the actual situation.

[0056] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0057] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an ozone microbubble water heater provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0058] like Figure 1As shown, the ozone microbubble water heater 1000 includes an inlet pipe 1010, an outlet pipe 1020, an aeration pipe 1030, a control system (not shown), a water flow sensor 1040, a first switch control valve 1050, a second switch control valve 1060, an ozone generator 1070, a first water pump 1080, and a container 1090. The outlet pipe 1020 includes a main outlet pipe 1021 (including 1021a and 1021b), a first outlet branch pipe 1022, and a second outlet branch pipe 1023.

[0059] The water outlet pipe 1020 connects the water inlet pipe 1010 and the air filling pipe 1030. The water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 1020 is located at the main water outlet pipe 1021b. The water outlet end is equipped with a water point, such as a faucet or shower head. Users can obtain bathing water provided by the ozone microbubble water heater 1000 by turning on the water point.

[0060] The air filling pipe 1030 is connected to the first water outlet branch pipe 1022, which transports the ozone gas generated by the ozone generator 1070 to the water outlet pipe 1020.

[0061] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the inflation conduit 1030 includes a first gas conduit 1031 and / or a second gas conduit 1032 for supplying ozone gas and / or a mixture of gases to the water outlet conduit 1020.

[0062] For example, in Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this process, an ozone generator is installed in the first gas pipeline 1031, through which ozone gas generated by the ozone generator 1070 is supplied to the water outlet pipeline 1020. A second gas pipeline 1032 is connected to the outside environment, through which air is supplied to the water outlet pipeline 1020 to regulate the concentration of ozone gas input into the water outlet pipeline 1020 from the first gas pipeline 1031.

[0063] For example, the ozone generator 1070 can be installed in the second gas pipeline 1032 connected to the outside, and the mixture of air and ozone gas can be directly transported through the second gas pipeline 1032. For example, the mixture of gas with a preset ozone concentration can be input into the water outlet pipeline 1020 through the second gas pipeline 1032 according to the user's needs.

[0064] Please see Figures 3 to 7In some embodiments, a flow control valve 1110 is provided on the inflation pipe 1030 to control the flow direction of gas in the inflation pipe 1030. Understandably, the flow control valve 1110 is a one-way valve, which can prevent gas backflow in the inflation pipe 1030, thereby improving inflation efficiency.

[0065] A water flow sensor 1040 is installed in the water inlet pipe 1010 and is used to send a water flow signal to the control system when water flow is detected, so that the control system can control the first switch control valve 1050 to open / close, the second switch control valve 1060 to open / close, the ozone generator 1070 to open / close, and the first water pump 1080 to open / close according to the water flow signal.

[0066] The first switch control valve 1050 is installed in the first outlet branch pipe 1022, and the second switch control valve 1060 is installed in the second outlet branch pipe 1023. The first switch control valve 1050 is used to control the flow and interruption of water in the first outlet branch pipe 1022, and the second switch control valve 1060 is used to control the flow and interruption of water in the second outlet branch pipe 1023.

[0067] An ozone generator 1070 is installed in an aeration pipe 1030 to generate ozone gas. The aeration pipe 1030 transports the ozone gas generated by the ozone generator 1070 to the water outlet pipe 1020. In other embodiments, the specific location of the ozone generator 1070 has been described above and will not be repeated here.

[0068] The first water pump 1080 is installed in the outlet pipe 1020.

[0069] It should be noted that before the user opens the water outlet, there is already a certain amount of water in the container 1090. Therefore, when the user opens the water outlet, water will flow out from the water outlet on the water outlet branch pipe 1022b. There may also be a certain amount of water in the first water outlet branch pipe 1022. The water in the first water outlet branch pipe 1022 will prevent the ozone gas and / or mixed gas input from the air filling pipe 1030 from entering the container 1090. Therefore, the first water outlet branch pipe 1022 needs to be made waterless as soon as possible so that the ozone gas and / or mixed gas can be quickly filled into the container 1090.

[0070] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6In some embodiments, the first water pump 1080 is positioned below the receiving device 1090. In this case, during the inflation process, the first water pump 1080 is used to extract water from the receiving device 1090. Understandably, if there is water in the first outlet branch pipe 1022, the first water pump 1080 can also extract water from the first outlet branch pipe 1022 while extracting water from the receiving device 1090, so that the water in the first outlet branch pipe 1022 can flow into the receiving device 1090 as quickly as possible, thereby quickly removing obstacles when the ozone gas and / or mixed gas input from the inflation pipe 1030 is injected into the receiving device 1090.

[0071] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the first water pump 1080 is positioned above the receiving device 1090. During inflation, the first water pump 1080 pumps water from the first outlet branch pipe 1022 into the receiving device 1090, quickly removing obstacles to the ozone gas and / or mixed gas input from the inflation pipe 1030 as it enters the receiving device 1090. Simultaneously, it pressurizes the water within the receiving device 1090, causing it to flow out of the receiving device 1090.

[0072] Please see Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments, the first water pump 1080 is installed in the first outlet branch pipe 1022.

[0073] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the first water pump 1080 is installed on the main outlet pipe 1021.

[0074] The containing device 1090 is provided in the water outlet pipe 1020 to contain the gas input from the air inlet pipe 1030 and the water input from the water inlet pipe 1010, so that the ozone gas generated by the ozone generator 1070 and the water flowing into the containing device 1090 through the first water outlet branch pipe 1022 and / or the second water outlet branch pipe 1023 form bath water containing ozone microbubbles.

[0075] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the containing device 1090 is located in the first outlet branch pipe 1022. In this case, the first switch control valve 1050 needs to be opened and the second switch control valve 1060 needs to be closed so that the water input from the inlet pipe 1010 flows through the first outlet branch pipe 1022 and enters the containing device 1090 containing ozone gas. Only then can the user obtain ozone microbubble bath water at the outlet point, thus achieving the purpose of cleaning the water input from the inlet pipe 1010.

[0076] Please see Figures 5 to 7In some embodiments, the containing device 1090 is disposed on the main water outlet pipe 1021. At this time, opening at least one of the first switch control valve 1050 and the second switch control valve 1060 allows the water input from the inlet pipe 1010 to flow through the main water outlet pipe 1021 and enter the containing device 1090 containing ozone gas. The user can then obtain ozone microbubble bath water at the outlet point, achieving the purpose of cleaning the water input from the inlet pipe 1010.

[0077] The control system is connected to the first switch control valve 1050, the second switch control valve 1060, the ozone generator 1070, and the first water pump 1080. After acquiring the water flow signal sent by the water flow sensor 1040, it starts the first water pump 1080 and the ozone generator 1070, and closes the first switch control valve 1050 and the second switch control valve 1060 to fill the container 1090 with ozone; and when the ozone filling meets the first preset condition, it closes the first water pump 1080 and the ozone generator 1070; and controls the first switch control valve 1050 and the second switch control valve 1060 to open / close according to the position of the container 1090 in the outlet pipe 1020.

[0078] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The ozone microbubble water heater 1000 also includes a heating device 1100. Specifically, the inlet end of the heating device 1100 is connected to the outlet end of the inlet pipe 1010, and the outlet end of the heating device 1100 is connected to the inlet end of the outlet pipe 1020. The heating device 1100 is used to heat the water input into the inlet pipe 1010.

[0079] In some embodiments, the heating device 1100 is installed on the main water outlet pipe 1021. At this time, by opening at least one of the first switch control valve 1050 or the second switch control valve 1060, the user can obtain bathing water with a constant temperature at the water outlet.

[0080] In some embodiments, the heating device 1100 is installed in the first water outlet branch pipe 1022 or the second water outlet branch pipe 1023. In this case, the water temperature can be adjusted by simultaneously opening the first switch control valve 1050 and the second switch control valve 1060, and the user can obtain bathing water at a suitable temperature at the water point according to their needs.

[0081] For example, the heating device 1100 is installed in the first water outlet branch pipe 1022. At this time, according to the user's needs, the first switch control valve 1050 and the second switch control valve 1060 are simultaneously opened to adjust the water temperature, allowing the user to obtain bathing water at a suitable temperature at the point of use. Understandably, if water heating is not required at this time, the second switch control valve 1060 is opened and the first switch control valve 1050 is closed; or if temperature adjustment of the heated water is not required, the first switch control valve 1050 is opened and the second switch control valve 1060 is closed.

[0082] Understandably, the control system also needs to be connected to the heating device 1100.

[0083] Please see Figure 7 In some embodiments, the ozone microbubble water heater 1000 also includes a second water pump 1120, which is disposed in the water inlet pipe 1010 to pressurize the water input to the ozone microbubble water heater 1000 in order to ensure a stable water flow rate, thereby improving the user's bathing experience.

[0084] Understandably, in embodiments with a second water pump 1120, the control system must also be connected to the second water pump 1120.

[0085] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating the steps of a control method for an ozone microbubble water heater provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0086] like Figure 8 As shown, the control method of the ozone microbubble water heater includes steps S100 to S300.

[0087] Step S100: Acquire the first water flow signal sent by the water flow sensor 1040.

[0088] For example, when a user turns on the water outlet, water enters the ozone microbubble water heater 1000 through the water inlet pipe 1010. The water flow sensor 1040 detects the water flow in the water inlet pipe 1010 and sends a first water flow signal to the control system.

[0089] Step S200: Based on the first water flow signal, start the first water pump 1080 and ozone generator 1070, and close the first switch control valve 1050 and the second switch control valve 1060 to inflate the container 1090.

[0090] For example, the control system is connected to the first switch control valve 1050, the second switch control valve 1060, the ozone generator 1070, the first water pump 1080, and the water flow sensor 1040. When the control system receives the first water flow signal sent by the water flow sensor 1040, it will start the first water pump 1080 and the ozone generator 1070 based on the first water flow signal, close the first switch control valve 1050 and the second switch control valve 1060, cut off the input water in the outlet pipe 1020, and start the first water pump 1080 and the ozone generator 1070 to generate ozone gas. The ozone generator 1070 will also generate ozone gas and increase the pressure in the first outlet branch pipe 1022 and the receiving device 1090 through the first water pump 1080, so that a large amount of ozone gas will enter the first outlet branch pipe 1022 and the receiving device 1090 on the outlet pipe 1020 to inflate the receiving device 1090.

[0091] It should be noted that before the user turns on the water point (shower head or faucet), there is already a certain amount of water in the container 1090. During the inflation process, the first water pump 1080 will pump the water out of the container 1090, so that it flows out from the water point (shower head or faucet) on the main water outlet pipe 1021.

[0092] Step S300: When the containment device 1090 is inflated to meet the first preset condition, the first water pump 1080 and the ozone generator 1070 are turned off, and the first switch control valve 1050 and / or the second switch control valve 1060 are controlled to open / close according to the position of the containment device 1090 in the water outlet pipe 1020.

[0093] In some embodiments, the containing device 1090 is located in the first water outlet branch pipe 1022. At this time, when the containing device 1090 is inflated to meet the first preset condition, the inflation of the containing device 1090 is stopped, the control system controls the first water pump 1080 and the ozone generator 1070 to shut down, and controls the first switch control valve 1050 to open and the second switch control valve 1060 to close, so that the water in the main water outlet pipe 1021a can enter the first water outlet branch pipe 1022 and the containing device 1090, and mix with ozone gas in the containing device 1090 to form bath water containing ozone microbubbles.

[0094] In some embodiments, the containing device 1090 is located in the main water outlet branch pipe 1021b. When the aeration of the containing device 1090 meets the first preset condition, the aeration of the containing device 1090 is stopped. The control system controls the first water pump 1080 and the ozone generator 1070 to shut down, and opens at least one of the first switch control valve 1050 and the second switch control valve 1060, so that the water in the main water outlet pipe 1021a can enter the main water outlet pipe 1021b and the containing device 1090, and mix with ozone gas in the containing device 1090 to form bath water containing ozone microbubbles.

[0095] In some implementations, the first preset condition is that the receiving device 1090 is inflated for an inflation time of a first preset duration.

[0096] For example, the first preset duration is set to 5 seconds. After the container 1090 is inflated for 5 seconds, the control system shuts off the first water pump 1080 and the ozone generator 1070, and opens the first switch control valve 1050 and / or the second switch control valve 1060 according to the position of the container 1090 in the water outlet pipe 1020, so as to output ozone microbubble water through the main water outlet pipe 1022b.

[0097] In some embodiments, the first preset condition is that the liquid level sensor in the containing device 1090 detects that the current liquid level is within a preset range.

[0098] For example, the preset range of liquid level is 2cm≤h≤5cm. Before inflation, the liquid level in the container 1090 is h=8cm. Since the liquid level in the container 1090 will drop during inflation, when the liquid level sensor in the container 1090 detects that the current liquid level in the container 1090 is 3cm, the control system will shut down the first water pump 1080 and the ozone generator 1070, and control the first switch control valve 1050 and / or the second switch control valve 1060 to open / close according to the position of the container 1090 in the water outlet pipe 1020.

[0099] It should be noted that the implementation method of the control system controlling the opening / closing of the first switch control valve 1050 and / or the second switch control valve 1060 according to the position of the receiving device 1090 in the water outlet pipe 1020 has been described in detail above, and will not be repeated here.

[0100] In some embodiments, the control method for the ozone microbubble water heater further includes: when water is discharged through the outlet pipe 1020 and the second preset condition is met, restarting the first water pump 1080 and the ozone generator 1070, and closing the first switch control valve 1050 and the second switch control valve 1060 to charge the containing device 1090 with gas.

[0101] For example, during the water output process of the ozone microbubble water heater 1000, the ozone gas injected into the container 1090 in step S200 will form microbubbles with the water in the container 1090 and be discharged from the ozone microbubble water heater 1000 along with the bath water. After a period of water output, the ozone gas in the container 1090 decreases, and the container 1090 needs to be refilled. Specifically, when the water output through the outlet pipe 1020 meets the second preset condition, the first switch control valve 1050 and the second switch control valve 1060 are closed, and the first water pump 1080 and the ozone generator 1070 are restarted to refill the container 1090.

[0102] In some implementations, the second preset condition is that water is discharged through the water outlet pipe 1020 for a duration that meets the second preset time requirement.

[0103] For example, the second preset duration is 15 seconds. After the user turns on the water point (faucet or shower) for 15 seconds, the control system closes the first switch control valve 1050 and the second switch control valve 1060, and restarts the first water pump 1080 and the ozone generator 1070 to refill the containing device 1090.

[0104] In some implementations, the second preset condition is that the water output through the water outlet pipe 1020 reaches a preset water output.

[0105] For example, the preset water output is 2L. When the user turns on the water point (faucet or shower), and the water output reaches 2L, the control system closes the first switch control valve 1050 and the second switch control valve 1060, and restarts the first water pump 1080 and the ozone generator 1070 to refill the container 1090 with gas.

[0106] In some embodiments, starting the first water pump 1080 includes: sending a speed command to the first water pump 1080 to control the speed of the first water pump 1080, and adjusting the speed of the first water pump 1080.

[0107] In some embodiments, the control method for the ozone microbubble water heater, after shutting off the first water pump 1080 and the ozone generator 1070, and opening the first switch control valve 1050 and / or the second switch control valve 1060 according to the position of the receiving device 1090 in the outlet pipe 1020, further includes: acquiring a second water flow signal sent by the water flow sensor 1040, and starting the heating device 1100 to heat the water input into the inlet pipe 1010.

[0108] For example, when a user needs hot water, the ozone microbubble water heater 1000 can heat the water input into the inlet pipe 1010 through the heating device 1100. Specifically, after the receiving device 1090 is inflated and the first switch control valve 1050 and / or the second switch control valve 1060 are opened according to the position of the receiving device 1090 in the outlet pipe 1020, the water in the outlet pipe 1020 flows towards the point of use, and at the same time, water flows into the inlet pipe 1010. The water flow sensor 1040 will detect the water flow signal appearing in the inlet pipe 1040 again. At this time, the water flow sensor 1040 sends a second water flow signal to the control system. Based on the second water flow signal, the control system starts the heating device 1100 to heat the water.

[0109] In some embodiments, the control method for the ozone microbubble water heater further includes: when the containment device 1090 is aerated to the first preset condition, starting the second water pump 1120 to pressurize the water input into the inlet pipe 1010.

[0110] For example, when the containing device 1090 is inflated to the first preset condition, and the control system controls the ozone microbubble water heater 1000 to stop inflating, the second water pump 1120 installed in the water inlet pipe 1010 is started. The second water pump 1120 pressurizes the water entering the ozone microbubble water heater 1000 to enhance the bathing pressure when using water, so as to ensure a stable water flow speed and thus improve the user experience.
