[0046] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0047] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the following part will further describe the embodiments of the present application in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0048] With economic development and the improvement of living standards, consumers are paying more and more attention to healthy water use and drinking water, and their requirements for water use are getting higher and higher. As a water treatment device that can deeply filter, purify and heat water according to water use requirements, the purifier and heat machine is recognized and favored by more and more consumers.
[0049] The working principle of the integrated water purifier and heat machine is that the water source first enters the filtration system in the integrated water purifier and is initially filtered through the primary filtration of the filtration system (such as the filter screen) to remove larger impurities. The water is further filtered through the secondary filtration (such as activated carbon and semi-permeable membrane) to remove impurities and odors to ensure the purity of the water. After that, the purified water is heated to the temperature set by the user through rapid heating technology. This heating process can be differentiated according to different heating methods, mainly instant heating, heat storage (including hot tank heating and heat-collecting bacteria isolation heating.
[0050] In the related art, a hot tank assembly is provided in the heat and air purifier for heating water. During the heating process, the heat of the hot tank assembly will be radiated in the heat and air purifier, which may easily cause the electronic control components inside the heat and air purifier to overheat and cause damage. The heat radiation from the hot tank assembly will also cause a temperature rise effect on the normal temperature water in the filtration system, reducing the user experience.
[0051] To solve the above problems, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The present application proposes a heat and air purifier 1. In an embodiment of the present application, the heat and air purifier 1 includes a shell assembly 10, a hot tank assembly 20, a filtering system 50 and an electronic control assembly.
[0052] In order to ensure the structural strength and to better carry the various components therein, the shell assembly 10 can be made of materials such as ceramics and stainless steel. The shell assembly 10 includes an outer shell and a middle shell 11 arranged in the outer shell. The middle shell 11 is connected to the outer shell. The outer shell and the middle shell 11 can be detachably connected, and of course can also be an integrated structure, and the connection method includes but is not limited to screw connection, clamping or welding, etc. The filtration system 50, the hot tank assembly 20 and the waterway plate 60 are all arranged on the middle shell 11 for easy installation and layout. The filter system 50 is connected to the hot tank assembly 20 by water, and both the filter system 50 and the hot tank assembly 20 are arranged in the shell assembly 10. A hot tank cavity 102 is arranged in the shell assembly 10, and the hot tank assembly 20 is arranged in the hot tank cavity 102. The filter system 50 and the electronic control assembly are both located outside the hot tank cavity 102. The hot tank assembly 20 is electrically connected to the electronic control assembly. The electronic control assembly includes a controller 80, a display panel 81 and an adapter 82. The electronic control assembly can be connected to the shell assembly 10 to utilize the shell assembly 10 to protect the electronic control assembly and ensure safety.
[0053] Specifically, the shell includes a panel 12 and a back plate 13 arranged oppositely in the front-to-back direction, a top plate 14 and a bottom plate 15 arranged oppositely in the up-down direction, and two side plates 16 arranged oppositely on the left and right sides. The panel 12, the back plate 13, the top plate 14, the bottom plate 15 and the two side plates 16 are enclosed together, and the length of the shell in the front-to-back direction and the up-down direction is greater than the length in the left and right directions, so that the external shape of the heat-cleaning machine 1 is formed into a relatively narrow rectangular parallelepiped structure. This arrangement makes it convenient to embed the heat-cleaning machine 1 in a narrow installation space, improve the installation flexibility and adaptability of the heat-cleaning machine 1, and the rectangular parallelepiped structure of the heat-cleaning machine 1 helps to maximize the use efficiency of the internal space, providing sufficient space for the various electrical components and pipeline components therein, while keeping the external dimensions compact. Of course, the shape of the shell can also be a cube or other irregular structural forms, and this application does not limit this.
[0054] It should be noted that when describing the specific orientation of the heat and air conditioning machine 1, in the actual installation process, the side of the heat and air conditioning machine 1 facing the user is the front side, and the side opposite thereto is the rear side, which is the front and rear direction of the heat and air conditioning machine 1; the left and right direction can be understood as the direction of the left and right sides of the user when the user faces the front side of the heat and air conditioning machine 1, and the up and down direction is the height direction of the heat and air conditioning machine 1.
[0055] The heat and water purifier 1 usually adopts a pure physical filtration method, that is, the heat and water purifier 1 is provided with a filtration system 50, which does not contain any chemical filtration components such as scale inhibitors, and achieves deep purification through multiple filtration technologies. The filtration accuracy is high, and it can effectively intercept harmful microorganisms such as coliform bacteria, ensure the safety of drinking water, and enhance the user experience. The filtration system 50 can be provided with a filter element to achieve single-stage filtration, or it can include multiple filter elements arranged in series to achieve multi-stage filtration. In an embodiment in which the filtration system 50 uses a two-stage filter element for filtration, the filtration system 50 is provided with a filter element assembly, and the filter element assembly includes a primary filter element 52 and a secondary filter element 53. The primary filter element 52 can perform preliminary filtration on the water to remove large particles of impurities in the water, such as mud, rust, etc., and the secondary filter element 53 further performs deep filtration to remove bacteria, heavy metal particles, etc. in the water.
[0056] Specifically, the filtration system 50 may include an inlet valve 51, a primary filter element 52, a secondary filter element 53, a booster pump 55, a one-way valve 56, and a pure water outlet pipe connected to the outlet of the filter element assembly, the water inlet end of the inlet valve 51 is connected to the raw water inlet, the water outlet end of the inlet valve 51 is connected to the water inlet end of the primary filter element 52, the water outlet end of the secondary filter element 53 is connected to the water inlet end of the booster pump 55, the water outlet end of the booster pump 55 is connected to the water inlet end of the secondary filter element 53, the water outlet end of the secondary filter element 53 is connected to the water inlet end of the one-way valve 56, and the water outlet end of the one-way valve 56 is connected to the water outlet end of the filtration system 50.
[0057] In this embodiment, the PAC filter element is used as the primary filter element 52 as an example. The PAC filter element mainly uses powdered activated carbon as the filter medium. The activated carbon has an extremely high specific surface area and can effectively absorb organic matter, chlorine, odor, pigments and other impurities in water. It can also remove impurities that may damage the secondary filter element 53 in advance, protect the second filter element, and extend its service life. In addition, the primary filter element 52 can also be a PP cotton filter element (polypropylene melt-blown filter element), a carbon rod filter element, a composite filter element, etc.
[0058] The secondary filter element 53 is a RO (Reverse Osmosis) filter element, which utilizes a RO reverse osmosis membrane, based on the natural osmosis phenomenon of liquid passing through a semipermeable membrane under high pressure drive, and only allows small molecules dissolved in water to pass through the semipermeable membrane, so as to separate solutes from a high concentration solution, thereby achieving water separation and purification. The RO reverse osmosis membrane is composed of a relatively slender membrane thin layer and a thin layer support material. Water and chemicals in the water can pass through the semipermeable membrane by applying operating pressure on the water inlet side to overcome the natural osmotic pressure, so as to separate water and other impurities between the semipermeable membrane and the semipermeable membrane. This process can remove ions, microorganisms, macromolecular compounds and other suspended solids in the water, ensure clean water quality, and improve the user experience. A wastewater pipe 531 is also connected to the secondary filter element 53, and a wastewater valve 532 is provided on the wastewater pipe 531 to control the discharge of wastewater.
[0059] Furthermore, a pipeline machine is also arranged between the pure water valve and the one-way valve 56. The pure water treated by the filtration system 50 partially flows into the pipeline machine to replenish water for the pipeline machine. The pipeline machine is mainly responsible for heating and cooling. The water is hot immediately after it comes out, and the temperature can be adjusted in multiple gears. The pipeline machine has high heating efficiency, can heat up in 3 seconds, has fast water output, and can accurately control the temperature; but its water storage capacity is limited, and the single hot water supply is limited. Therefore, the present application is provided with a hot tank assembly 20, and a water pressure switch is also arranged on the flow path of the filtered pure water flowing into the pipeline machine. The main function of the water pressure switch is to monitor the water pressure in the pipeline. When the water pressure changes, the film or bellows in the water pressure switch will deform accordingly, pushing the micro switch to close or disconnect the circuit, thereby controlling the operation of the water pump or other related equipment. The water pressure switch has functions such as overpressure protection and underpressure protection, which can ensure the stable operation of the heat and water purification machine 1 and avoid damage to the system due to abnormal water pressure.
[0060] In some embodiments, the heat and water purification machine 1 further includes a faucet 2, which is connected to the housing assembly 10 and communicated with the hot tank assembly 20 and the filter system 50. When the faucet 2 is turned on, the hot water in the hot tank assembly 20 or the normal temperature water in the filter system 50 can flow out through the faucet 2 to provide hot water or normal temperature water to the user. A pure water valve is provided downstream of the flow path of the faucet 2 connected to the filter system 50. The pure water valve is used to control the flow of purified water after filtration, and can open or close the water flow, thereby controlling the supply of normal temperature water. It can be understood that the heat and water purification machine 1 can have two faucets 2, one faucet 2 is communicated with the hot tank assembly 20, and the other faucet 2 is communicated with the filter system 50, so that hot water and normal temperature water can be provided to the user separately.
[0061] In other embodiments, the faucet 2 can also be connected to the hot tank assembly 20 and the filter system 50 respectively, and the switch controls the hot water or normal temperature water to flow out of the faucet 2. It can be understood that the faucet 2 can also be a smart faucet 2. When the controller 80 detects a normal temperature water taking signal at the smart faucet 2 or a water replenishment signal from the hot tank assembly 20, the controller 80 can control the filter system 50 to start water production to ensure that the user can get normal temperature water and hot water from the smart faucet 2 in time, reduce the user's waiting time, and improve the user's experience.
[0062] In other embodiments, the filter element assembly of the filter system 50 may further include a three-stage filter element, the water inlet end of the three-stage filter element is connected to the water outlet end of the two-stage filter element, and the water outlet end of the three-stage filter element is connected to the water outlet end of the filter system 50. The three-stage filter element is used to absorb odor and residual chlorine, and can be used to improve the taste of normal temperature water. The three-stage filter element may be an activated carbon filter element.
[0063] In one structural form, a filter chamber 101 separated from the hot tank chamber 102 is further provided in the shell assembly 10, and the filter system 50 and the electronic control assembly are both arranged in the filter chamber 101. The filter system 50 and the electronic control assembly are jointly arranged in the filter chamber 101, that is, the filter system 50 and the hot tank assembly 20 are both located on the same side of the hot tank assembly 20, so that the filter system 50 and the electronic control assembly are centrally arranged, which can optimize space utilization, make the structural design of the air purifier and heat all-in-one machine 1 more compact, and save installation space. It is also possible to prevent air convection between the filter chamber 101 and the hot tank chamber 102, and at the same time isolate the installation space of the filter system 50 and the electronic control assembly from the installation space of the hot tank assembly 20, thereby reducing structural redundancy and achieving a reasonable layout.
[0064] Furthermore, the filter system 50 and the electronic control component are installed together in the filter cavity 101. The filter system 50 and the electronic control component can be located in the same cavity in the filter cavity 101. Of course, the filter cavity 101 can also include a first sub-cavity and a second sub-cavity, and a mounting bracket is provided on the middle shell 11, and the mounting bracket has a first sub-cavity. The inner wall of the middle shell 11 and the outer wall of the mounting bracket are enclosed to form a second sub-cavity, so that the first sub-cavity and the second sub-cavity are separated from each other. The electronic control component can be installed on the mounting bracket and located in the first sub-cavity, and the filter system 50 is installed on the middle shell 11 and located in the second sub-cavity. The electronic control component is further sealed and installed to ensure safety during operation.
[0065] In some embodiments, the hot tank assembly 20 includes a tank body 21 and a heating element 22. The tank body 21 has a heating chamber 210, which is connected to the faucet 2. The heating element 22 is used to heat the water in the heating chamber 210. The hot tank assembly 20 heats the normal temperature water after being filtered by the filtration system 50, and provides hot water to the user after the faucet 2 is turned on. The tank body 21 has a water inlet and a water outlet 212a respectively connected to the heating chamber 210. The water outlet 212a is located at the bottom of the tank body 21, so that water enters the heating chamber 210 from the bottom of the tank body 21. The high and low temperature water stratification phenomenon is used for heat storage, that is, water with different temperatures has different densities. The high temperature water with lower density inside the tank body 21 is in the upper layer of the tank body 21 due to buoyancy, and the low temperature water with higher density is in the lower layer of the tank body 21, forming a temperature transition zone between the two. This design can reduce the mixing of cold and hot water and improve heating efficiency.
[0066] In addition, the tank body 21 also includes a water replenishment port and a water extraction port, both of which are connected to the heating chamber 210, and the water replenishment port is connected to the water replenishment pipe 25. The water replenishment port is connected to the water replenishment pipe 25, so that when the water replenishment valve 251 is opened, the normal temperature water at the water outlet end of the filtration system 50 can enter the heating chamber 210 through the water replenishment pipe 25 and the water replenishment port.
[0067] In some embodiments, the heating element 22 of the hot tank assembly 20 is connected to a terminal, and the terminal is used to electrically connect to the electric control assembly. In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal is exposed to the tank body 21 and is located above the tank body 21. During the actual installation and maintenance process, maintenance personnel can open the top plate 14 to perform maintenance operations, which is more convenient for wiring and maintenance work, especially in a space-constrained environment, and can improve work efficiency. Since the high-voltage terminal generates heat when current passes through, arranging the terminal above the tank body 21 helps to dissipate heat and prevent heat from accumulating at the bottom of the tank body 21, affecting the performance and life of the equipment.
[0068] The shell assembly 10 is also provided with an air inlet 105 and a heat dissipation port 104 both of which are connected to the hot tank cavity 102. The external air enters the hot tank cavity 102 through the air inlet 105, and after exchanging heat with the hot air flow in the hot tank cavity 102, it flows out from the heat dissipation port 104. The technical solution of the present application adopts the exhaust form of natural convection and uses external air to assist in heat dissipation. It can effectively dissipate the heat in the hot tank cavity 102 to maintain the stability of each internal electrical component and extend the service life, effectively avoid the safety hazard caused by excessive heat accumulation in the hot tank cavity 102, and avoid the heat radiation of the hot tank assembly 20 when working. The influence of the filter system 50 and the electronic control components in the heat and air purification integrated machine 1; at the same time, by providing the air inlet 105 and the heat dissipation port 104, the pressure inside and outside the hot tank cavity 102 can be balanced to prevent safety problems caused by pressure changes.
[0069] The air inlet 105 is located at the bottom of the shell assembly 10, and the heat dissipation port 104 is located at the top of the shell assembly 10, and the heat dissipation port 104 is set higher than the hot tank assembly 20. When the terminal of the hot tank assembly 20 is located above the tank body 21, more heat will be gathered above the tank body 21 during operation. Due to the different density caused by the temperature difference inside the airflow, buoyancy is formed, and the hot air will float up. In this way, through natural convection, the hot air can be efficiently discharged from the heat dissipation port 104, reducing the accumulation of heat inside the hot tank cavity 102, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency and avoiding the influence of heat radiation on other electrical components in the heat and air purifier 1 when the hot tank assembly 20 is working.
[0070] The heat dissipation port 104 can be arranged on the side plate 16, the top plate 14 or the back plate 13, and the air inlet 105 can also be arranged on the side plate 16, the top plate 14 or the back plate 13. Specifically, the heat dissipation port 104 and the air inlet 105 can be arranged on one of the side plate 16, the top plate 14 or the back plate 13, or can be arranged on two of them respectively, as long as the air inlet 105 is located at the bottom of the shell assembly 10 and the heat dissipation port 104 is located at the top of the shell assembly 10. In this way, flexibility can be guaranteed in the actual application process to adapt to different installation environments. In addition, the shapes of the heat dissipation port 104 and the air inlet 105 can be circular, rectangular or other irregular shapes. The number of the heat dissipation port 104 and the air inlet 105 can be one respectively, and of course it can also be 2, 3 or 4, etc. This application does not limit the shape, opening size and number of the heat dissipation port 104 and the air inlet 105.
[0071] In another embodiment, a fan may also be provided in the heat and air purification machine 1, which is arranged in the shell assembly 10 and is arranged near the heat dissipation port 104. In this way, the air in the hot tank cavity 102 that is affected by the heat radiation of the hot tank assembly 20 and causes the temperature to rise can be forced to be discharged from the heat dissipation port 104, thereby increasing the exhaust efficiency, thereby further reducing the impact of heat radiation from the hot tank assembly 20 on other electrical components in the heat and air purification machine 1 when the hot tank assembly 20 is working. It can be understood that when the temperature in the heat and air purification machine 1 reaches a reasonable range, a fan may not be provided for forced exhaust, and the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0072] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 The air purifier and heat all-in-one machine 1 also includes a waterproof baffle 112, which is connected to the inner wall of the hot tank cavity 102 and cooperates with the inner wall of the hot tank cavity 102 to form a waterproof groove 112a, the waterproof groove 112a connects the heat dissipation port 104 and the hot tank cavity 102, and the heat dissipation port 104 is set higher than the lowest point of the groove bottom wall 112b of the waterproof groove 112a to avoid interference between the groove wall of the waterproof groove 112a and the opening periphery of the heat dissipation port 104, thereby ensuring the exhaust area of the heat dissipation port 104 and thus ensuring the exhaust efficiency.
[0073] The waterproof baffle 112 is provided with an air vent which is connected to the hot tank cavity 102. The air vent is specifically formed by the upper surface of the waterproof baffle 112, the side plate 16 and the inner wall surface of the top plate 14, so that the air vent is located above the hot tank assembly 20, and the air vent is arranged higher than the heat dissipation port 104, to ensure that the hot air flow in the hot tank cavity 102 can be discharged from the air vent to the heat dissipation port 104 after rising, and finally discharged from the heat dissipation port 104 to the outside. In addition, since the terminals of the hot tank assembly 20 are exposed to the tank body 21 and are located above the tank body 21, there is a risk of short circuit and fire after being immersed in water. Therefore, the provision of the waterproof baffle 112 helps to ensure that during operation, external water vapor or liquid will not enter the hot tank cavity 102 through the heat dissipation port 104, thereby preventing external water vapor from adversely affecting the normal operation of the hot tank assembly 20 in the hot tank cavity 102, thereby keeping the equipment dry and clean, and improving the safety and reliability of the equipment.
[0074] In the structural form in which the heat dissipation port 104 and the air inlet 105 are both arranged on the back plate 13, the extension length of the waterproof baffle 112 in the height direction and the left and right side directions is greater than the diameter of the heat dissipation port 104, so that the projection of the opening of the heat dissipation port 104 can fall on the side surface of the waterproof baffle 112 facing the back plate 13, which can ensure. Specifically, the waterproof baffle 112 includes a first waterproof section 1121 and a second waterproof section 1122 connected to each other. One end of the first waterproof section 1121 is connected to the back plate 13 and is located below the heat dissipation port 104 to form a groove bottom wall 112b of the waterproof groove 112a. The other end of the first waterproof section 1121 is connected to the second waterproof section 1122, and the end of the second waterproof section 1122 away from the first waterproof section 1121 is connected to the middle shell 11. There is a gap between the side surface of the first waterproof section 1121 and the second waterproof section 1122 facing the back plate 13 and the inner wall surface of the back plate 13, and they are jointly enclosed to form the waterproof groove 112a. Water entering the waterproof groove 112a from the heat dissipation port 104 can be blocked by the second waterproof section 1122 and accumulated on the first waterproof section 1121 due to gravity factors, that is, accumulated at the bottom of the waterproof groove 112a, thereby preventing external water vapor from entering the heat and air purifier 1. The waterproof baffle 112 can be made of the same material as the middle shell 11 and can be an integrated structure with the middle shell 11. Of course, it can also be connected to the middle shell 11 by screw connection, clamping connection, etc., which is not limited in the present application.
[0075] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the air conditioner and heat integrated machine 1 also includes a baffle 19, an opening is provided on the shell assembly 10, and the heat dissipation port 104 and the air inlet 105 are both provided on the back plate 13. The opening is provided on the back plate 13, and the baffle 19 is located in the opening. The baffle 19 and the back plate 13 can be an integrated structure, or they can be fixedly connected by welding or the like to ensure the structural strength. Of course, they can also be detachably connected by means of snap-on connection, threaded connection, etc., to facilitate cleaning and maintenance. The baffle 19 includes a connecting rib 191 and a barrier portion 192. One end of the connecting rib 191 is connected to the periphery of the opening, and the other end is connected to the barrier portion 192. The outer edge of the barrier portion 192, the connecting rib 191 and the peripheral wall of the opening define an air inlet 105 or a heat dissipation port 104, so that the air inlet 105 or the heat dissipation port 104 is formed into a plurality of annular and narrow air ports. This arrangement can reduce the possibility of external water or other impurities entering the interior of the air purifier and heat integrated machine 1 from the air inlet 105 or the heat dissipation port 104, and can also increase the wind resistance at the air inlet 105 or the heat dissipation port 104, prevent air flow, and improve the safety and availability of the air purifier and heat integrated machine 1.
[0076] In some embodiments, the integrated heat and air purifier 1 also includes a water circuit plate 60 and an insulation structure 17 disposed in the shell assembly 10. The insulation structure 17 is connected to the water circuit plate 60. The water circuit plate 60 connects the filtration system 50 and the hot tank assembly 20 by water circuit. Since the water circuit plate 60 integrates multiple water circuit interfaces, the length of the water circuit and the number of interfaces are reduced, which helps to improve the stability of the entire water circuit system and optimize the spatial layout, making the integrated heat and air purifier 1 more compact and saving installation space.
[0077] The waterway plate 60 is located between the filter system 50 and the hot tank assembly 20, and the heat insulation structure 17 and the waterway plate 60 together separate the housing assembly 10 into a filter chamber 101 and a hot tank chamber 102. Specifically, the waterway plate 60 includes a first waterway plate 61 and a second waterway plate 62 that are connected. The first waterway plate 61 is located between the filter system 50 and the hot tank assembly 20, and the second waterway plate 62 is located between the lower surface of the hot tank assembly 20 and the inner wall of the bottom of the middle shell 11. The heat insulation structure 17 includes a first heat insulation member 171 and a second heat insulation member 172. The first heat insulation member 171 and the second heat insulation member 172 are both connected to the middle shell 11. The first heat insulation member 171 is located between the filter system 50 and the hot tank assembly 20, and the second heat insulation member 172 is located above the filter system 50. The top of the middle shell 11, the inner wall surfaces of the two side plates 16, the panel 12 and the bottom plate 15, together with the surface of the first waterway plate 61 and the first thermal insulation member 171 facing away from the hot tank assembly 20, form a filter cavity 101; the inner wall surfaces of the two side plates 16, the top plate 14 and the back plate 13, together with the surface of the first waterway plate 61 and the first thermal insulation member 171 facing away from the hot tank assembly 20, form a hot tank cavity 102.
[0078] In addition, by setting a water channel interface on the back plate 13, the water heated by the hot tank assembly 20 can flow to the outside through the water channel interface set on the rear side for user use. The filter chamber 101 and the hot tank chamber 102 are relatively spaced apart in the front and rear directions of the heat and water purifier 1, so that the hot tank assembly 20 is set closer to the rear side, which is more convenient for pipeline arrangement and reasonable space planning, making the layout more compact and beautiful.
[0079] It is understandable that the water circuit design inside the integrated heat and water purifier 1 in the embodiment of the present application may not be applicable to the water circuit board 60, but may be integrated with multiple water circuit interfaces and control components (such as inlet water valve, waste water valve, flow meter, one-way valve 56 and high-pressure switch) to reduce the use of water pipes and connectors, simplify the water circuit system, reduce the risk of water leakage, and improve production efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Alternatively, it is also possible to use modular splicing water circuits, which include multiple independent water circuit board 60 modules, each module is equipped with water circuit pipes. This design can be combined and installed as needed, providing flexibility and easy maintenance. This application does not limit this.
[0080] Since the terminals are exposed to the tank body 21 and are located above the tank body 21, in order to facilitate wiring layout, a passage 103 is provided between the water circuit plate 60 and the shell assembly 10 for the wires between the heating tank assembly 20 and the electronic control assembly to pass through. Specifically, the passage 103 is defined between the upper wall surface at the top of the first water circuit plate 61 and the lower wall surface at the top of the middle shell 11, so that the wires between the hot tank assembly 20 and the electronic control assembly can be routed from above the water circuit plate 60, and the terminals of the hot tank assembly 20 are also located above the tank body 21, which can facilitate wiring layout. The heat insulation structure 17 is arranged at the passage 103 to prevent air convection between the filter cavity 101 and the hot tank cavity 102, and to avoid heat convection between the filter cavity 101 and the hot tank cavity 102 through the passage 103, thereby effectively preventing heat transfer between the two spaces, and avoiding the temperature rise effect of heat radiation on the filter system 50 and the electronic control assembly arranged in the filter cavity 101 when the hot tank assembly 20 is working.
[0081] Please refer to Figures 4 to 7In the structural form in which the thermal insulation structure 17 includes a first thermal insulation member 171 and a second thermal insulation member 172 , the first thermal insulation member 171 is arranged at the passage 103 and is located between the middle shell 11 and the waterway plate 60 . Specifically, a side surface of the first thermal insulation member 171 facing the hot tank assembly 20 is in contact with a side surface of the first waterway plate 61 facing away from the hot tank assembly 20, and a side surface of the first thermal insulation member 171 facing away from the hot tank assembly 20 is in contact with a side surface of the middle shell 11 facing the hot tank assembly 20 in the front-to-back direction, so as to block the passage 103 between the middle shell 11 and the waterway plate 60; the second thermal insulation member 172 is located above the filter system 50, and a side surface of the second thermal insulation member 172 is in contact with a side surface of the middle shell 11 facing away from the filter system 50 in the up and down directions, and the other side surface of the second thermal insulation member 172 is arranged opposite to the inner wall surface of the top plate 14, and there is also a gap between the upper part of the first thermal insulation member 171 and the inner wall surface of the top plate 14, so that the hot air flow in the hot tank cavity 102 flows into the upper part of the filter cavity 101 through the gap, and is dissipated by the second thermal insulation member 172, thereby further increasing the heat dissipation area and improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0082] In order to ensure that the wires between the hot tank assembly 20 and the electronic control assembly can be electrically connected through the port 103, a wire hole is provided on the first thermal insulation member 171 for the wires to pass through. The wire hole can be opened in the middle of the first thermal insulation member 171 or at the periphery of the first thermal insulation member 171, and the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0083] By providing the first thermal insulation member 171 and the second thermal insulation member 172, air convection between the filter chamber 101 and the hot tank chamber 102 can be prevented, and heat convection between the filter chamber 101 and the hot tank chamber 102 through the port 103 can be avoided, thereby preventing heat radiation from affecting the filter system 50 and the electronic control components arranged in the filter chamber 101 when the hot tank assembly 20 is working, preventing the filter system 50 and the electronic control components from heating up, ensuring that the water temperature in the filter system 50 will not overheat, and improving the service life and safety of the filter system 50 and the electronic control components.
[0084] Of course, the heat insulation structure 17 can also be completely blocked between the top of the waterway plate 60 and the inner wall of the top plate 14 to seal and isolate the filter chamber 101 from the hot tank chamber 102 in the up and down directions. The shape of the heat insulation structure 17 can be a rectangular block structure, which facilitates the close fit between the outer edge of the heat insulation structure 17 and the outer wall of the shell assembly 10 and the waterway plate 60, and further prevents the convection of hot air to prevent the filter system 50 and the electric control component from heating and rising. The shape of the heat insulation structure 17 can also be square or other irregular structural shapes, etc. The specific shape of the heat insulation structure 17 can also be adaptively changed according to the specific installation environment. The setting of the heat insulation structure 17 can also enhance the stability of the overall structure, especially in equipment involving high and low temperature areas, the heat insulation structure 17 can reduce the expansion and contraction of materials caused by temperature differences, thereby improving the durability and reliability of the equipment. In the embodiment of the present application, the thermal insulation structure 17 is arranged in the shell assembly 10, and needs to have good high temperature resistance, heat insulation, fire resistance, strong chemical stability and other properties. The thermal insulation structure 17 can be glass fiber insulation wool, glass insulation wool or other materials, etc. The present application does not limit the material of the thermal insulation structure 17.
[0085] In some embodiments, a heat insulation board is further provided on the side of the waterway plate 60 facing the hot tank assembly 20. The heat insulation board can effectively isolate the heat generated by the hot tank assembly 20, and prevent the internal water channel from heating up due to the waterway plate 60 being easily heated due to being set close to the hot tank assembly 20. The material of the heat insulation board needs to have good heat insulation performance and high temperature resistance. Therefore, the material of the heat insulation board includes but is not limited to metal alloys (such as stainless steel), special plastics, ceramic fibers, etc., so that the heat insulation board can withstand high temperatures and is not easy to burn, ensuring safe use.
[0086] It is understandable that the present application may also not be provided with a heat insulation plate. By making the shell material of the waterway plate 60 of a material with good heat insulation performance, the waterway plate 60 itself has a high heat insulation performance, or a heat insulation coating is coated on the side of the waterway plate 60 facing the hot tank assembly 20, so that the waterway plate 60 has high resistance to gas erosion, high temperature resistance and other properties, and can also prevent the normal temperature water in the waterway plate 60 from being affected by the thermal radiation of the hot tank assembly 20 and causing temperature rise, thereby ensuring the user experience. The present application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0087] In some embodiments, the heat insulation structure 17 is disposed on the middle shell 11, and the connection between the heat insulation structure 17 and the middle shell 11 can be a detachable connection, such as a snap connection, a threaded connection, etc., or a fixed connection, such as an adhesive connection, etc. Specifically, Figure 7As shown, a limiting groove 111 is provided on the middle shell 11, and a plurality of limiting ribs are provided on the middle shell 11. The plurality of limiting ribs enclose the limiting groove 111, and the thermal insulation structure 17 is fixed in the limiting groove 111, so that the thermal insulation structure 17 can be installed on the middle shell 11 more stably. The thermal insulation structure 17 and the middle shell 11 use a detachable limiting installation method, and can be fixed by adhesion without using adhesive, which ensures the stability of the structure, is more environmentally friendly, and has high fire resistance and installation efficiency. The thermal insulation structure 17 and the middle shell 11 can also be connected by providing a clamp on the middle shell 11, and the thermal insulation structure 17 is fixedly installed on the middle shell 11 by the clamp, and the present application does not limit this.
[0088] In some embodiments, the heat and air purifier 1 further includes a heat shield 18, which is located in the hot tank cavity 102 and covers the outside of the hot tank assembly 20 to prevent the heat radiation of the hot tank assembly 20 from affecting other electrical components in the heat and air purifier 1 when the hot tank assembly 20 is working. It can also reduce the heat dissipated by the hot tank assembly 20 to the surrounding environment, improve thermal efficiency, and reduce energy waste. The heat shield 18 covers the outside of the hot tank assembly 20, and can also reduce the noise of the hot tank assembly 20 during operation, thereby improving the user experience. The specific material of the heat shield 18 can be polyetheretherketone, polyetheretherketone or graphitized ceramic, etc., which has high heat resistance and chemical stability, and can work for a long time in a high temperature and corrosive environment without deformation, aging or damage.
[0089] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The tank body 21 includes a tank body 211, a tank top cover 212 and a tank bottom cover 213. The tank body 211 is connected to the tank top cover 212 and the tank bottom cover 213 respectively to enclose a heating chamber 210. The tank body 211, the tank top cover 212 and the tank bottom cover 213 can be processed into an integrated structure by thermal deformation or the like, and can also be connected by welding or other connection methods to improve the structural strength and the airtightness of the tank body 21 to prevent leakage.
[0090] The integrated heat and water purification machine 1 also includes a water pump 30 and a water outlet pipe 27. Both the pure water outlet pipe and the water outlet pipe 27 are connected to the faucet 2. The water filtered by the secondary filter element 53 obtained by the user of the present application through the faucet 2 may be pure water, that is, a pure water outlet pipe is connected between the secondary filter element 53 and the faucet 2. One end of the pure water outlet pipe is connected to the secondary filter element 53, and the other end has two branches. One branch transports the pure water to the heating chamber 210, and the other branch directly transports the pure water to the faucet 2 and intersects with the water outlet pipe 27 at the faucet 2.
[0091] The outlet of the water pump 30 is connected to the water outlet 212a, and the water outlet pipe 27 is connected to the water outlet 212a. In this embodiment, the water pump 30 can be directly connected to the tank body 211 through screws and sealing rings, without the need to set up a water pipe connection, which can eliminate the risk of bubbles blocking the water pipe, effectively prevent air blockage, and have a more compact structure. The outlet of the water pump 30 is connected to the water outlet 212a, and the water outlet pipe 27 is connected to the water outlet 212a. The water pump 30 is used to pump the liquid in the heating chamber 210 to the water outlet pipe 27. Compared with natural flow, the provision of the water pump 30 can provide a more stable and rapid water flow, improve the efficiency of hot water output, and prevent hot water from flowing back to the heating chamber 210. The water outlet pipe 27 can be connected to the faucet 2 to transport the hot water pumped by the water pump 30 to the faucet 2 for use by users.
[0092] The heating element 22 can be installed on the outer wall surface of the tank body 21 or arranged near the outer wall of the tank body 21 to transfer heat to the liquid in the heating chamber 210 by heat conduction, so that the liquid in the heating chamber 210 can be heated; or, the heating element 22 is installed in the heating chamber 210 and connected to the tank body 21, so that the heating element 22 can directly heat the liquid in the heating chamber 210, and the heating element 22 can be in the form of an electric heating wire, etc., which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0093] In the structural form in which the heating element 22 is located in the heating chamber 210 and close to the side of the tank bottom cover 213, due to the heating effect of the heating element 22, the water in the tank body 21 is prone to stratification, and the cold water at the bottom is not heated enough, that is, the water temperature at the bottom is low, while the water temperature at the top is high. When the water pump 30 is connected to the tank body 211, the water inlet is set at the tank bottom cover 213, and the water outlet 212a is set at the tank top cover 212. Since the water close to the bottom is directly extracted, this will cause the temperature of the first cup of water to be lower than expected, affecting the consistency of the water outlet temperature. In some embodiments, along the height direction of the tank body 21, the water outlet pipe 27 is penetrated in the tank body 21, and at least partially overlaps with the heating element 22 in the height direction, that is, one end of the water outlet pipe 27 is connected to the outlet of the water pump 30, and the other end extends from the tank bottom cover 213 into the heating chamber 210 and passes through the tank top cover 212, so that the insufficiently heated water has the opportunity to exchange heat with the hot water in the heating chamber 210 in the water outlet pipe 27, thereby increasing the water temperature. The heat in the heating chamber 210 can be used more effectively, energy waste can be reduced, and energy efficiency can be improved. The heat loss of hot water during transportation can also be reduced, the water temperature can be maintained, and the problem of low temperature of the first cup of water can be alleviated.
[0094] It should be noted that since there will be residual water in the water outlet pipe 27, the residual water in the water outlet pipe 27 passing through the heating chamber 210 can be heated again during the next heating. Therefore, when the user takes water at a long interval or takes water for the first time, the residual cold water will not be directly discharged but heated to improve the consistency of the water temperature.
[0095] In one configuration, the tank top cover 212 is also provided with an exhaust port 241, and the water outlet pipe 27 passes through the exhaust port 241, and there is a gap between the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 27 and the wall of the exhaust port 241. Specifically, the heat and clean machine 1 also includes an exhaust pipe 24, which is connected to the heating chamber 210 through the exhaust port 241, and the exhaust pipe 24 is sleeved on the water outlet pipe 27, and there is a gap between the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 24 and the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 27, so that the water vapor or other gas generated by the liquid in the heating chamber 210 during the heating process can be effectively discharged from the gap between the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 24 and the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 27 to prevent the pressure in the tank from being too high, and ensure the safe operation of the equipment. And the structure of the tank top cover 212 can be simplified, the number of components can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. In addition, after the water vapor in the heating chamber 210 is discharged from the exhaust pipe 24, the air content in the heating chamber 210 can be reduced, so that the heat acts more concentratedly on the water molecules, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the tank body 21.
[0096] In the structural form in which the water outlet pipe 27 passes through the exhaust port 241, the heat and air purifier 1 further includes a three-way pipe 26, which has an exhaust cavity and a first interface 261, a second interface 262 and a third interface 263 connected to the exhaust cavity. The water outlet pipe 27 passes through the first interface 261 and partially extends into the second interface 262. The outer wall of the water outlet pipe 27 extending into the second interface 262 is sealedly connected to the inner wall of the second interface 262 to connect the water outlet pipe 27 and the second interface 262 and block the first interface 261 and the second interface 262. The outer wall of the exhaust pipe 24 is sealedly connected to the inner wall of the first interface 261, so that the gap between the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 24 and the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 27 is connected to the third interface 263, and the gas in the heater can be discharged through the exhaust port 241, the exhaust cavity and the third interface 263 in sequence. Specifically, the three-way pipe 26 is a three-way elastic tube, which can be fastened to one end of the water outlet pipe 27 and one end of the exhaust pipe 24 at the same time, avoiding welding when the water outlet pipe 27 is passed through the tank top cover 212, making maintenance and replacement easier without complicated welding operations, reducing the difficulty and cost of maintenance.
[0097] In another structural form, the exhaust port 241 is connected to the faucet 2, that is, when the user needs to take hot water, the user opens the water outlet 212a, and the water vapor will be discharged first or the water vapor will be discharged together with the hot water. At this time, since the temperature of the water vapor is too high, the user may be scalded when the water vapor is sprayed out from the water outlet 212a; at the same time, when the user does not use the heat and water purifier 1 and a large amount of water vapor is generated in the heating chamber 210, a large amount of water vapor will flow from the exhaust pipe 24 to the water outlet 212a, and the temperature at the water outlet 212a is lower than the temperature in the heating chamber 210, so that a large amount of water vapor will become water droplets and be discharged from the water outlet 212a, resulting in a waste of water resources and causing the heat and water purifier 1 to drip frequently.
[0098] Therefore, please refer to Figures 8 to 14 The air conditioner and heat machine 1 also includes an exhaust pipe 24, a condensing pipe 28 and a water supply pipe 25. The exhaust pipe 24 is connected to the heating chamber 210 through an exhaust port 241. The exhaust pipe 24 is arranged in the condensing pipe 28. The condensing pipe 28 has a condensing chamber 281 that can carry cooling water, and the condensing pipe 28 has a condensing inlet 282 and a condensing outlet 283. The condensing inlet 282 and the condensing outlet 283 are both connected to the condensing chamber 281. The condensing inlet 282 is used to connect cooling water. One end of the water supply pipe 25 is connected to the tank body 21 and is connected to the heating chamber 210. The other end of the water supply pipe 25 is connected to the condensing pipe 28 and is connected to the condensing chamber 281, so that the cooling water in the condensing chamber 281 flows into the heating chamber 210 through the condensing outlet 283 and the water supply pipe 25. In this way, when the tank body 21 needs to be replenished with water, the cooling water enters the condensation chamber 281 from the condensation inlet 282, and then flows into the heating chamber 210 from the condensation outlet 283 and through the water inlet pipe 25, so as to replenish the heating chamber 210 with water.
[0099] After the heating element 22 heats the cooling water in the heating chamber 210 for a period of time, water vapor is generated in the heating chamber 210, and the water vapor is discharged from the exhaust pipe 24. Since part of the exhaust pipe 24 is located in the condensation chamber 281 at this time, and the condensation chamber 281 carries cooling water at this time, the cooling water can condense the water vapor flowing through the condensation chamber 281 and in the exhaust pipe 24, so as to greatly reduce the amount of water vapor ejected from the faucet 2.
[0100] It should be noted that the cooling water remaining in the condensation chamber 281 last time will flow into the heating chamber 210 through the condensation outlet 283 and the water replenishment pipe 25 when the heating chamber 210 is replenished with water next time. In this way, the cooling water in the condensation chamber 281 is replaced to ensure the durability of the condensation effect of the condensation chamber 281. By setting the exhaust pipe 24 to penetrate the condensation chamber 281 of the condensation pipe 28, in this way, when the water vapor of the exhaust pipe 24 flows through the condensation chamber 281, the water vapor will be cooled by the cooling water in the condensation chamber 281 and condensed into water droplets. In this way, the water droplets will flow back into the heating chamber 210 due to the effect of gravity to prevent the faucet 2 from dripping, and at the same time, it can prevent the water vapor from flowing out of the faucet 2 to avoid the high-temperature water vapor from scalding the user, thus improving the safety of the heat and air purifier 1.
[0101] Furthermore, in the height direction of the hot tank assembly 20 , the height of the water supply pipe 25 is lower than the height of the exhaust pipe 24 . Here, the height direction of the hot tank assembly 20 can be understood as the height direction of the condenser pipe 28 . It can be understood that since part of the exhaust pipe 24 is arranged in the condensation chamber 281, and one end of the water supply pipe 25 is connected to the tank body 21 to communicate with the heating chamber 210, and the other end of the water supply pipe 25 is communicated with the condensation outlet 283 of the condensation pipe 28, the height of the water supply pipe 25 is set to be lower than the height of the exhaust pipe 24 so that the water supply pipe 25 is closer to the tank body 21. In this way, on the one hand, the water supply efficiency of the heating chamber 210 can be improved. On the other hand, at the end away from the tank body 21, since the height of the water supply pipe 25 is lower than the height of the exhaust pipe 24, when the condensation chamber 281 is filled with cooling water, the cooling water in the condensation chamber 281 will only flow into the water inlet pipe 25 from the water outlet 283, and will not flow into the exhaust pipe 24 from the end away from the tank body 21, so as to avoid the cooling water in the condensation chamber 281 from flowing from the exhaust pipe 24 into the heating chamber 210.
[0102] The condenser 28 includes a condenser section 284, and the condenser section 284 has a first condenser opening 2841 and a second condenser opening 2842. It is understood that a condenser chamber 281 may be formed inside the condenser section 284, and the condenser chamber 281 is in communication with both the first condenser opening 2841 and the second condenser opening 2842, so that the exhaust pipe 24 passes through the condenser chamber 281 from the first condenser opening 2841 and then passes through the second condenser opening 2842, so that part of the exhaust pipe 24 is located in the condenser chamber 281, so that the cooling water in the condenser chamber 281 is convenient for condensing the water vapor in the exhaust pipe 24 flowing through the condenser chamber 281.
[0103] Furthermore, after the condensation section 284 is partially penetrated through the exhaust pipe 24, the exhaust pipe 24 and the first condensation opening 2841 and the second condensation opening 2842 need to be sealed. On the one hand, water vapor separation can be achieved, and on the other hand, the cooling water in the condensation chamber 281 is prevented from flowing out of the condensation pipe 28 from the first condensation opening 2841 or the second condensation opening 2842.
[0104] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the condenser 28 also includes a supporting pipe section 285, one end of which is connected to one end of the condenser section 284 close to the tank body 21, and the supporting pipe section 285 is connected to the first condensation opening 2841, so that the exhaust pipe 24 passes through the supporting pipe section 285 and extends into the condensation chamber 281; and one end of the supporting pipe section 285 abuts against the tank body 21 to facilitate the support of the condenser section 284.
[0105] During the operation of the water pump 30, bubbles are easily formed in the water due to the local pressure dropping below the vapor pressure of the liquid. These bubbles collapse rapidly when they reach the high-pressure area as the flow proceeds, generating shock waves and causing air blockage. The long-term effect may cause damage to the water pump 30 and other effects.
[0106] In one embodiment of the present application, the water outlet pipe 27 includes a water outlet section 271 and a water inlet section 272 which are connected to each other. The water inlet section 272 is connected to the outlet of the water pump 30 and the water inlet. The water outlet section 271 extends from the tank bottom cover 213 into the heating chamber 210 and passes through the tank top cover 212. At least the portion of the water inlet section 272 close to the water outlet 212a extends toward the water outlet 212a, and the inner diameter of the water inlet section 272 is reduced in the direction away from the water outlet section 271. It should be noted that the inner diameter of the water inlet section 272 is reduced, which can be continuous, that is, the inner wall of the water inlet end 272 is gradually reduced in the direction away from the water outlet section 271, or it can be in a stepped form. Of course, it can also be a combination of the above two methods, for example, under the condition of maintaining the overall reduction trend in the direction away from the water outlet section 271, one section is continuously gradually reduced, and the other two adjacent sections are extended in a stepped manner. The present application does not limit this. By designing the inner diameter of the water inlet section 272 of the water outlet pipe 27 to be reduced, it helps to reduce the flow rate of water in the water inlet section 272, and facilitates the air bubbles to float up to the hot tank cavity 102 through the reduced inner walls of the water inlet section 272, thereby reducing the sharp drop in local pressure and reducing the possibility of air blockage.
[0107] In addition, the integrated air conditioner and heat machine 1 of the present application can also enable the user to obtain the set water temperature, that is, the user can also obtain warm water with a temperature between normal temperature water and the hot water discharged from the hot tank assembly 20 from the faucet 2.
[0108] To this end, the air purifier and heat integrated machine 1 of the present application may further include a controller 80, a first temperature sensor and a second temperature sensor. The first temperature sensor can be installed on the tank body 21, and the first temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature in the heating chamber 210, and feed the data back to the controller 80; the second temperature sensor is installed on the pure water outlet pipe, and the second temperature sensor is used to detect the pure water temperature in the pure water outlet pipe, and feed the data back to the controller 80; the controller 80 can receive the detection values of the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor, and based on these temperature detection data, control the operating power of the water pump 30 and the booster pump 55 to form warm water with a set temperature value at the faucet 2, thereby realizing the allocation of hot water and pure water flow, and finally forming water with a user-set temperature value at the faucet 2.
[0109] Specifically, the booster pump 55 is connected to the pure water outlet pipe, and the booster pump 55 can be frequency-controlled, or a non-frequency-controlled pump can be used to control the operating power by adjusting its own duty cycle, thereby outputting different pure water flow rates, and the duty cycle can be determined by the warm water gear selected by the user. The faucet 2 is used as a water terminal, which is used to receive pure water from the pure water outlet pipe and hot water in the water outlet pipe 27, and mix the two to form warm water of a set temperature.
[0110] In this embodiment, the controller 80 controls the operating power of the water pump 30 and the booster pump 55 by controlling their duty cycles. For example, the user selects a specific warm water level, such as 45°C or 55°C, on the operation interface of the air conditioner 1 according to the water temperature requirement.
[0111] When the user selects the warm water gear, the controller 80 will control the duty cycle of the booster pump 55 according to the preset corresponding relationship. For example, when the user selects the 45°C warm water gear, the duty cycle of the booster pump 55 is set to 85%; if the 55°C warm water gear is selected, the duty cycle of the booster pump 55 is set to 75%. Through the adjustment of this duty cycle, the booster pump 55 can deliver pure water to the faucet 2 at a corresponding pure water flow rate. The adjustment of the duty cycle is actually to control the working time ratio of the booster pump 55, and then control the flow rate of pure water, to ensure that an appropriate amount of low-temperature pure water is involved in the mixing process.
[0112] When the booster pump 55 starts to deliver pure water, the first temperature sensor continuously monitors the temperature of the hot water in the heating chamber 210, and the second temperature sensor synchronously detects the temperature of the pure water in the pure water outlet pipe. The two temperature sensors obtain temperature data in real time and transmit it to the controller 80 to provide temperature data for the subsequent calculation and control of the duty cycle of the water pump 30.
[0113] After receiving the detection values of the pure water temperature and the hot water temperature, the controller 80 calculates the duty cycle required by the water pump 30 according to the internal preset control algorithm. According to the calculated duty cycle of the water pump 30, the controller 80 controls the water pump 30 so that the water pump 30 delivers hot water to the faucet 2 at the corresponding hot water flow rate. In this way, the flow rate of hot water can match the determined pure water flow rate, so that the two can reach the user-set temperature after mixing at the faucet 2.
[0114] The pure water delivered from the pure water outlet pipe and the hot water delivered from the water outlet pipe 27 meet at the faucet and are fully mixed. Since in the previous steps, the flow rates of pure water and hot water are adjusted by controlling the duty cycle of the booster pump 55 and the water pump 30, the two can form warm water of the set temperature according to the heat transfer and mixing principle when mixed. For example, at the 45°C warm water gear, after the pure water of the appropriate flow rate is mixed with the hot water of the corresponding flow rate, warm water with a temperature of 45°C is finally stably output at the faucet 2, thereby meeting the needs of users.
[0115] In some embodiments, the air conditioner and heat all-in-one machine 1 further includes a detection component 23, which includes at least one of a water level detection element 232, a water quality detection element, and a temperature control element 237. The water level detection element 232, the water quality detection element, and the temperature control element 237 are all connected to the tank body 21 and communicated with the heating chamber 210. The water level detection element 232 is used to detect the water level in the heating chamber 210, the water quality detection element is used to detect the quality of the water in the heating chamber 210, and the temperature control element 237 is used to detect the temperature of the water in the heating chamber 210.
[0116] Specifically, the water level detection element 232 is connected to the tank body 21, and the water level detection element 232 is connected to the heating chamber 210, so that the water level detection element 232 can detect the water level in the heating chamber 210. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the type of the water level detection element 232. Exemplarily, the water level detection element 232 can be one of a float type water level sensor, an electrode type water level sensor, and a capacitive water level sensor, wherein the float type water level sensor detects the change of the water level by floating up and down the float. When the water level rises, the float also rises; when the water level drops, the float drops, and the floating of the float triggers the switch inside the float type water level sensor, thereby outputting a corresponding electrical signal to the controller 80, so as to detect the water level in the heating chamber 210. The electrode type water level sensor detects the water level by setting an electrode in the heating chamber 210 and using the conductivity of water. When the water level rises and contacts the electrode, the circuit will be turned on, thereby outputting an electrical signal to the controller 80, so as to detect the water level in the heating chamber 210. The capacitive water level sensor detects the water level by measuring the capacitance value formed between the capacitive water level sensor and the water level. When the water level rises, the capacitance value changes, thereby outputting a corresponding electrical signal to the controller 80, so as to detect the water level in the heating chamber 210.
[0117] Further, in some embodiments, the water level detection element 232 includes a high water level probe 233 and a low water level probe 234, which are arranged at intervals on the tank top cover 212 and extend into the heating chamber 210 toward the tank bottom cover 213. It can be understood that the high water level probe 233 is used to detect the position of the highest water level in the heating chamber 210, and the low water level probe 234 is used to detect the position of the lowest water level in the heating chamber 210; that is, when the liquid in the heating chamber 210 rises to the highest water level, the water supply pipe 25 stops supplying water to the heating chamber 210 to prevent the liquid in the heating chamber 210 from overflowing; when the liquid in the heating chamber 210 drops to the lowest water level, the water supply pipe 25 supplies water to the heating chamber 210 to prevent the heating chamber 210 from drying out. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the position of the high water level probe 233 and the low water level probe 234 on the tank body 21.
[0118] In another embodiment, the water level detection element 232 may include two high water level probes 233 and one low water level probe 234, wherein the two high water level probes 233 may be arranged on the tank top cover 212, and the positions of the high water levels detected by the two high water level probes 233 are inconsistent; that is, the heating chamber 210 has a first high water level position and a second high water level position, and in the height direction of the tank body 21, the position of the first high water level is higher than the position of the second high water level. At this time, one high water level probe 233 is used to detect the position of the first high water level, and the other high water level probe 233 is used to detect the position of the second high water level. When the other high water level probe 233 fails, it can still be detected by one high water level probe 233 to improve the accuracy of the detection of the high water level probe 233. Furthermore, the low water level probe 234 may be arranged on the tank top cover 212 or on the tank bottom cover 213 to detect the position of the lowest water level in the heating chamber 210.
[0119] The water quality detection element is connected to the tank body 21 and communicated with the heating chamber 210; that is, the water quality detection element is used to detect the quality of the liquid in the heating chamber 210 to ensure that safe and hygienic liquid is provided to the user. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the type of the water quality detection element. For example, the water quality detection element can be an electrochemical sensor, a biosensor, etc.
[0120] The temperature control element 237 is connected to the tank body 21 and communicates with the heating chamber 210; that is, part of the temperature control element 237 extends into the heating chamber 210, so that the temperature control element 237 can detect the temperature of the liquid in the heating chamber 210. The temperature control element 237 can be set on the tank top cover 212 or on the tank body 211, and this embodiment of the application does not specifically limit this.
[0121] Further, in some embodiments, the temperature control element 237 includes a temperature control fixing plate and a temperature sensor. Specifically, the temperature control fixing plate is connected to the tank body 21; that is, when the temperature control element 237 is installed on the tank body 211, the temperature control fixing plate can be fixed on the tank body 211 by welding, screwing, clamping, bonding, etc. A second through hole connected to the heating chamber 210 is provided on the temperature control fixing plate. In this way, it is convenient for the temperature sensor to extend into the heating chamber 210 through the second through hole, so that the temperature sensor detects the temperature of the liquid in the heating chamber 210. When the temperature of the liquid is too high, the controller 80 can control the heating element 22 to stop heating to protect the tank body 21.
[0122] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
