Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electric water heaters, and in particular to an electric water heater. Background Art
[0002] In the design of traditional electric water heaters, the water tank is generally placed in the top area of the water heater, and the electrical components are placed at the bottom of the water heater. The faucet connection point of the traditional electric water heater is usually located at the bottom of the water tank. This design makes the sealing structure of the faucet connection point prone to failure under the influence of water pressure and temperature changes for a long time.
[0003] Once the sealing structure fails, the water in the water tank will leak out from the leaking point. When the water tank leaks, since the water nozzle connection point is at the bottom, the leaked water will directly soak the electrical components at the bottom of the electric water heater. This soaking can easily cause a short circuit in the electrical components, which may lead to serious safety accidents such as electric shock, posing a threat to the user's personal safety.

[0057] An electric water heater provided in an embodiment of the present application also includes: a water outlet 7 and a water inlet 8; wherein, the water outlet 7 and the water inlet 8 are arranged at the top of the shell 1, which is different from the traditional electric water heater in that the water outlet 7 and the water inlet 8 of the water tank 2 are arranged at the bottom of the water tank, which can reduce the risk of water leakage.
[0058] Specifically, the water outlet 7 and the water inlet 8 are used to connect the first space with the outside.
[0059] In one embodiment, the electrical device 3 includes a main control system 31 , a second heater 32 and a thermostatic valve 33 .
[0060] Specifically, the thermostatic valve 33 includes a control end, a first water inlet pipe 5 end, a first water outlet pipe 4 end, a water inlet end and a heating end.
[0061] Specifically, the main control system 31 is connected to the control end of the thermostatic valve 33 .

[0063] Specifically, based on the connection relationship between the water inlet 8 , the thermostatic valve 33 and the first water inlet pipe 5 , the external water flow is made to flow from the water inlet 8 into the thermostatic valve 33 , and then into the first water inlet pipe 5 based on the thermostatic valve 33 .

[0065] Specifically, based on the connection relationship between the water outlet 7, the thermostatic valve 33, the second heater 32 and the first water outlet pipe 4, the internal water flow is made to flow from the first water outlet pipe 4 into the thermostatic valve 33, and is secondary heated when flowing into the second heater 32 based on the thermostatic valve 33, and the heated internal water flow flows to the water outlet 7.
[0066] In one embodiment, the water inlet end of the first water inlet pipe 5 is connected to the electrical device 3 in the first space, and the water outlet end of the first water inlet pipe 5 extends from the first space into the water tank 2 and is connected to the water inlet end of the heat exchange component 6 .

[0069] Specifically, based on the connection relationship between the first water inlet pipe 5 and the heat exchange component 6, the external water flow is made to flow into the heat exchange component 6 through the first water inlet pipe 5 for heating treatment.
[0070] In one embodiment, the water inlet end of the first water outlet pipe 4 is connected to the water outlet end of the heat exchange component 6 , and the water outlet end of the first water outlet pipe 4 extends from the water tank 2 to the first space and is connected to the electrical device 3 .
[0071] Specifically, when the water outlet end of the first water outlet pipe 4 extends from the water tank 2 into the first space and is connected to the electrical component 3 , the electrical component 3 is a thermostatic valve 33 .
[0072] Specifically, based on the connection relationship between the first water outlet pipe 4 and the heat exchange component 6 , the water heated in the heat exchange component 6 flows into the thermostatic valve 33 through the first water outlet pipe 4 .
[0073] In this embodiment, by installing the electrical device 3 in the first space, only the water inlet 8 and the water outlet 7 are left connected to the outside, so as to realize an integrated design. Compared with the traditional electric water heater, there is no external thermostatic valve 33, control box and other components, and the appearance is high.
[0074] In one embodiment, the water tank 2 includes a water tank side wall 21, a water tank upper cover 22 and a water tank lower cover 23; Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of a water tank structure provided by this application.
[0075] Specifically, the water tank 2 is an open water tank 2.
[0076] In one embodiment, the water tank side wall 21 is connected based on a weld at a first side wall surface of the water tank 2 .
[0077] In one embodiment, the water tank upper cover 22 is located above the water tank side wall 21, and the water tank upper cover 22 and the water tank side wall 21 are connected by welding.
[0078] In one embodiment, the water tank lower cover 23 is located below the water tank side wall 21 , and the water tank lower cover 23 is connected to the water tank side wall 21 by welding.
[0079] In one embodiment, since the water tank side wall 21, the water tank upper cover 22 and the water tank lower cover 23 are welded to form the water tank 2, there is a first weld 24 between the water tank upper cover 22 and the water tank side wall 21, there is a second weld 25 at the first side wall surface of the water tank 2, and there is a third weld 26 between the water tank lower cover 23 and the water tank side wall 21. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the position of a water tank weld provided in this application.
[0080] An electric water heater provided in an embodiment of the present application further includes: a liquid level sensor 10 and a first heater 11 .
[0081] In one embodiment, the liquid level sensor 10 is mounted on the housing 1 corresponding to the second side wall surface of the water tank 2, and the first heater 11 is mounted on the second side wall surface of the water tank 2;
[0082] In one embodiment, the second side wall surface is a vertical surface facing the first side wall.
[0083] In this embodiment, based on the fact that the weld is a part of the water tank 2 that is relatively prone to rust and corrosion, the electrical component 3 is located in the first space on the outer top of the water tank 2, the liquid level sensor 10 and the first heater 11 are located on the side of the water tank 2, and the installation position avoids the weld on the water tank 2, that is, the main controller, the second heater 32, and the thermostatic valve 33 are located on the outer top of the water tank 2; the liquid level sensor 10 and the first heater 11 are located on the right side of the water tank 2; the advantage of such a design is that when the weld on the water tank 2 corrodes and causes the water tank 2 to leak, the leaked water will not splash onto the electrical component 3, and there is no risk of electric shock caused by a short circuit of the electrical component 3.
[0084] In one embodiment, in addition to water, the water tank 2 can also be loaded with other liquids with a certain specific heat capacity, or phase change materials, etc., which can be selected based on user needs.
[0085] In one embodiment, the first heater 11 is used to heat the water in the water tank 2 .
[0086] The working principle of the electric water heater in this embodiment is as follows: the water inside the water tank is heated to a certain temperature by the first heater 11 and then kept warm. When the user needs to take hot water, cold water enters from the water inlet 8 and flows into the heat exchange component 6 through the thermostatic valve 33 and the first water inlet pipe 5. During the flow in the heat exchange component 6, it absorbs the heat of the water in the water tank 2 and then heats up. After leaving the heat exchange component 6, it enters the thermostatic valve 33 through the first water outlet pipe 4. After being mixed with a certain proportion of cold water at the thermostatic valve 33, it becomes hot water at a certain temperature. Then it reaches the second heater 32 for secondary heating to become hot water of the temperature set by the user, and then flows out from the water outlet 7.
[0087] Since the water in the water tank is stagnant water, the user uses fresh water flowing through the heat exchange assembly 6. Therefore, the mineral content of the water in the water tank is certain, and compared with the traditional storage type electric water heater, the scaling speed will be greatly reduced, and the risk of water tank corrosion and water leakage caused by scaling will also be greatly reduced accordingly.
[0088] In one embodiment, the liquid level sensor 10 is used to detect the water level of the water tank 2 .
[0089] Specifically, a high position of the liquid level sensor 10 and a low position of the liquid level sensor 10 are set; when the water level in the water tank is lower than the low position of the liquid level sensor 10, the water tank 2 is replenished with water until it is detected that the water level in the water tank reaches the high position of the liquid level sensor 10, and then the replenishment of water to the water tank 2 is stopped.
[0090] A water heater provided in an embodiment of the present application further includes: a second water inlet pipe 9.
[0091] In one embodiment, the thermostatic valve 33 also includes a second water inlet pipe 9 end; the second water inlet pipe 9 end is connected to the water inlet end of the second water inlet pipe 9, and the water outlet end of the second water inlet pipe 9 extends from the first space into the water tank 2.
[0092] In one embodiment, when the water level of the water tank is lower than the low position of the liquid level sensor 10, when the water tank 2 is replenished with water, the second water inlet pipe 9 end is opened by controlling the thermostatic valve 33 so that the external water flow that flows into the thermostatic valve 33 through the water inlet 8 flows into the water tank 2 based on the second water inlet pipe 9, so as to replenish the water tank 2.
[0093] In one embodiment, when it is detected that the water level of the water tank reaches the high position of the liquid level sensor 10, based on the thermostatic valve 33, the end of the second water inlet pipe 9 is controlled to be closed to stop replenishing water to the water tank 2.
[0094] Because the liquid level sensor 10, when it fails, may not be able to accurately detect the water level height of the water tank 2, resulting in the water tank being filled with water, causing water 2 to be pressurized, which may easily cause the water tank to leak; based on this, a water heater provided in an embodiment of the present application also includes: a duckbill valve 12 and a second water outlet pipe 13.
[0095] In one embodiment, the duckbill valve 12 is arranged below the outer shell 1 , the water inlet end of the second water outlet pipe 13 is arranged in the water tank 2 , and the water outlet end of the second water outlet pipe 13 passes through the water tank 2 and the outer shell 1 to be connected with the duckbill valve 12 .
[0096] In one embodiment, the water inlet end of the second water outlet pipe 13 is disposed at a height not less than a high position of the liquid level sensor 10 .
[0097] In one embodiment, the internal water loaded in the water tank 2 does not fill the entire water tank 2, and a second space is formed between the top of the internal water and the top of the water tank 2 based on air.
[0098] Specifically, the water inlet end of the second water outlet pipe 13 is located in the second space.
[0099] In one embodiment, when the water level of the water tank is higher than the set height, the water tank 2 is drained based on the duckbill valve 12 and the second water outlet pipe 13 .
[0100] Specifically, when the liquid level sensor 10 fails, the water level in the water tank 2 rises to a certain level and then flows out of the water tank 2 through the second water pipe and the duckbill valve 12, thereby reducing the risk of pressure buildup and water leakage in the water tank 2.
