Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a vertical water heater and a preparation method thereof, and in particular to a novel vertical water heater for separating hot and cold water and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, electric water heaters are still the mainstream form of household water heaters, especially storage water heaters, which have a market share of 60%. Storage water heaters are divided into single-tank and double-tank types. In addition to the different material usage, their performance is also quite different. Since cold water will enter the single-tank water heater at the same time when hot water is output, the mixing of cold and hot water will reduce the storage temperature, resulting in a gradual decrease in the outlet water temperature, which will lead to insufficient hot water supply when multiple people use it continuously. The double-tank water heater is provided with two upper and lower water storage tanks connected by a conduit. The upper and lower water tanks are heated at the same time, the upper water tank outputs hot water, and the lower water tank inputs cold water. After the upper water tank outputs hot water, it is supplemented by the rising hot water in the lower water tank. The double-tank water heater can continuously output hot water for a relatively long time, but the material usage is large and the cost is high. To this end, the present invention proposes a design and preparation method for a single-tank water storage water heater with a hollow buoyancy baffle for cold and hot water to avoid direct mixing of cold and hot water and improve the output efficiency of hot water. Summary of the invention

[0005] The guide riser is a hollow structure made of a thin-walled rectangular stainless steel tube, wherein the top of the guide riser is fixed to the bottom of the top cover of the single-cavity inner tank, the bottom of the guide riser is a closed structure, a first water inlet and a second water inlet are symmetrically provided on the side wall of the upper part of the guide riser, a water outlet is provided on the side wall on one side of the lower part of the guide riser, a first valve is installed in the first water inlet, and a second valve is installed in the water outlet, the first valve and the second valve are respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of a lever inserted in the inner cavity of the guide riser, and the baffle can touch the first valve and the second valve respectively to open and close alternately during the up and down movement of the guide riser.

[0006] The baffle is a hollow floating structure made of a sealed hollow aluminum alloy sheet. The baffle can float up and down on the guide riser as the water level in the inner cavity of the single-cavity liner changes.

[0007] The lever inserted in the inner cavity of the guide standpipe is made of a stainless steel plate, the middle of the lever is pivotally connected to the inner wall of the guide standpipe through a pin shaft, and the lever can rotate around the pin shaft.

[0008] The first valve is composed of a first connecting rod, a first vertical plate and a first valve core, wherein the first valve core is assembled on a side of the first vertical plate corresponding to the first water inlet, the first valve core is a semicircular steel sheet, the size of the first valve core corresponds to the size of the first water inlet, the first connecting rod is vertically connected to the first vertical plate and the first valve core, and the first valve is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lever in the inner cavity of the guide vertical pipe through the first connecting rod.

[0009] The second valve is composed of a second connecting rod, a second vertical plate, a second valve core and a rubber gasket, wherein the second valve core is assembled on one side of the rubber gasket corresponding to the water outlet, the second vertical plate is assembled on the other side of the rubber gasket, the size of the second valve core corresponds to the size of the water outlet, the second valve core is a semicircular steel sheet, the second vertical plate is a circular steel sheet, the second connecting rod is vertically connected to the second vertical plate, the second valve core and the rubber gasket, and the second valve is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lever in the inner cavity of the guide vertical pipe through the second connecting rod.

[0010] The working principle of the novel vertical water heater with hot and cold water separation provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0011] When the single-cavity liner is full of water and no water is drained, the hollow buoyancy baffle is located at the top of the single-cavity liner, and the outlet at the lower end of the guide riser is closed by the second valve. When the hot water outlet at the bottom of the single-cavity liner discharges hot water and the cold water inlet at the top of the single-cavity liner injects cold water, the hollow buoyancy baffle moves downward due to the pressure of the cold water. At this time, the baffle separates the hot and cold water in the inner cavity of the single-cavity liner. The upper part of the inner cavity of the single-cavity liner is cold water, and the lower part of the inner cavity of the single-cavity liner is hot water. When the hollow buoyancy baffle reaches the outlet position at the lower end of the guide riser, the baffle touches the second valve to open the outlet at the lower end of the guide riser, and cold water is injected from the inner cavity of the guide riser into the lower part of the inner cavity of the single-cavity liner. The baffle begins to float slowly due to the balance of upper and lower pressures. When the hollow buoyancy baffle floats to the position of the first water inlet and the second water inlet on the upper part of the guide riser, the first valve on the same side as the lower water outlet of the guide riser drives the second valve to close the lower water outlet of the guide riser through the lever in the inner cavity of the guide riser under the touch of the baffle. At this time, the baffle separates the upper and lower water bodies in the inner cavity of the single-cavity liner and returns to the initial state.

[0012] The guide riser is made of a thin-walled rectangular stainless steel tube. The upper end of the guide riser is fixed to the top of the inner cavity of the single-cavity liner, and the lower end of the guide riser is sealed. The first water inlet and the second water inlet are symmetrically opened on the side wall of the upper part of the guide riser, wherein the second water inlet is always in an open state, and a semicircular first valve is installed in the first water inlet. The lower part of the guide riser is provided with a water outlet on the side where the first water inlet is opened, and a semicircular second valve is installed in the water outlet. The first valve and the second valve are respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the lever in the inner cavity of the guide riser. The water baffle can touch the first valve and the second valve to control the first valve and the second valve to open and close alternately under the action of the lever during the up and down movement of the guide riser. The lower end of the guide riser is equipped with a limit plate to prevent the water baffle from falling off the guide riser.

[0013] The invention provides a method for preparing a novel vertical water heater with cold and hot water separation, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0014] Step 1: First, make a curved stainless steel lever with a rectangular cross-section size of 2×4 mm. The length of the curved stainless steel lever is adapted to the height of the rectangular guide riser in the single-cavity inner tank. The upper and lower ends of the curved stainless steel lever are respectively connected to the first valve and the second valve;

[0015] Step 2: Make a stainless steel guide riser with a side length of 2-3cm and a thickness of 1mm. The first water inlet and the second water inlet are symmetrically provided on the upper side wall of the guide riser, and the water outlet is provided at the lower part of the guide riser. The middle part of the arc-shaped stainless steel lever is fixed to the middle part of the guide riser through a pin shaft, so that the first valve at the upper end of the stainless steel lever corresponds to the first water inlet, and the second valve at the lower end of the stainless steel lever corresponds to the water outlet. Under the action of the stainless steel lever, the first valve and the second valve are alternately opened and closed;

[0016] The third step is to fix the guide riser with the installed arc-shaped stainless steel lever on the top of the single-cavity inner liner, install the aluminum alloy hollow buoyancy baffle on the guide riser, set a limit plate at the lower part of the guide riser at the lower water outlet to prevent the baffle from falling off the guide riser, open a cold water inlet hole at the top of the single-cavity inner liner, open a hot water outlet hole at the bottom of the single-cavity inner liner, and set a heater between the bottom of the guide riser and the bottom of the single-cavity inner liner.

[0017] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0018] The novel vertical water heater with cold and hot water separation provided by the present invention and the preparation method thereof are characterized in that a stainless steel guide riser and an aluminum alloy water-isolating hollow buoyancy plate device are arranged inside the single-tank electric water heater. The hollow buoyancy plate repeatedly descends and rises under the action of water inlet pressure and buoyancy, opens and closes the water inlet switch at the lower part of the guide riser, controls the mixing node of cold and hot water, separates the cold and hot water before the hot water is drained, fully utilizes hot water resources, reduces electricity consumption, enables the single-tank water heater to continuously supply hot water, and minimizes the material usage of the water heater.

[0019] The technical solution provided by the present invention only uses one inner tank and one heater, which saves material consumption, has low cost, simple process and reliable performance.
