[0053] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for realizing different structures of the utility model.

In addition, the utility model provides various specific examples of processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art may be aware of the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0054] This embodiment discloses an electric water heater, referring to Figure 1 or Figure 2 The liquid level sensor 200 includes an inner tank 150, a flange 130, a water inlet pipe 110, a water outlet pipe 120, a heating pipe 140, a liquid level sensor 200 and the like.

[0055] The inner tank 150 has a water chamber 151 formed therein, and a flange 130 is disposed on one end of the inner tank 150 in the horizontal length direction. The water inlet pipe 110 is used to supply water to the water chamber 151, and the water outlet pipe 120 is used to allow the water in the water chamber 151 to flow out. The heating pipe 140 is connected to the flange 130, and the heating pipe 140 is located in the water chamber 151 and is used to heat the water in the water chamber 151.

[0056] Tap water flows into the water chamber 151 through the water inlet pipe 110, and the heating pipe 140 heats the water in the water chamber 151. The heated hot water flows out from the water outlet pipe 120 to provide water of the required temperature to the user.

[0057] During the heating process of the electric water heater 100, it is necessary to ensure that the liquid level in the water storage chamber 151 is higher than the heating tube 140, otherwise dry burning will occur, and in severe cases, the inner tank 150 will burn.

[0058] The electric water heater in this embodiment detects the liquid level in the water storage chamber 151 through the liquid level sensor 200, so as to prevent the electric water heater from drying out and improve the safety of the electric water heater.

[0059] Specifically, the liquid level sensor 200 includes a magnetic ring 210 and a magnetic sensing device 220. Figure 3 The magnetic ring 210 is sleeved on the water outlet pipe 120. The magnetic ring 210 moves up and down along the water outlet pipe 120 under the action of water buoyancy. The upper limit of the movement of the magnetic ring 210 is higher than the upper limit of the height of the heating tube 140. The magnetic sensing device 220 is arranged on the outer wall of the inner tank 150, just above the magnetic ring 210.

[0060] Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the magnetic ring 210 when it is in the low position is shown. Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram showing the magnetic ring 210 floating to a high position under the action of water buoyancy.

[0061] When the liquid level in the inner tank 150 is higher than the low position of the magnetic ring 210, the magnetic ring 210 floats up under the action of water buoyancy, and the distance between the magnetic ring 210 and the top magnetic sensing device 220 gradually decreases until the magnetic sensing device 220 senses the magnetic ring, indicating that there is sufficient water in the inner tank 150. At this time, the liquid level is higher than the upper limit position 141 of the heating tube, and dry burning will definitely not occur.

[0062] When the liquid level in the inner pot 150 is low, lower than the magnetic ring 210, the magnetic ring 210 cannot float up. At this time, the distance between the magnetic ring 210 and the magnetic sensing device 220 exceeds the sensing range of the magnetic sensing device 220. The magnetic sensing device 220 cannot sense, indicating that the inner pot 150 is short of water. At this time, there is a risk of dry burning.

[0063] The magnetic ring 210 is sleeved on the water outlet pipe 120, and the magnetic sensing device 220 is fixed to the outer wall of the inner tank 150 by gluing. The installation of the magnetic ring 210 and the magnetic sensing device 220 does not require drilling holes in the inner tank or the flange as in the prior art, nor does it require corresponding water sealing treatment, which facilitates production and processing and improves production efficiency.

[0064] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 An upper limit portion 121 and a lower limit portion 122 are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the water outlet pipe 120 at intervals along its height direction, and the magnetic ring 210 moves up and down between the upper limit portion 121 and the lower limit portion 122 .

[0065] The upper limit portion 121 is used to limit the upward movement position of the magnetic ring 210, and the lower limit portion 122 is used to limit the downward movement position of the magnetic ring 210. The upper limit portion 121 and the lower limit portion 122 play a role in limiting the movement of the magnetic ring 210.

[0066] Furthermore, the upper limit portion 121 is close to the top water outlet position of the water outlet pipe 120, so that the floating high position of the magnetic ring 210 is close to the top of the water outlet pipe 120, thereby improving the accuracy of liquid level detection to prevent the inner tank 150 from drying out.

[0067] Furthermore, the distance between the upper limit portion 121 and the lower limit portion 122 is less than 10 cm, which further improves the accuracy of liquid level detection.

[0068] In some embodiments, the magnetic sensing device 220 is adhered to the outer wall of the inner liner 150 for easy installation. There is no need to drill holes in the inner liner 150 or the flange 130 to install the sensor, which facilitates production and processing.

[0069] exist Figure 1In the electric water heater shown, the water inlet pipe 110 and the water outlet pipe 120 extend upward from the bottom of the inner tank 150 into the water storage chamber 151. The heating pipe 140 bends downward and extends from the flange 130 to the inner side of the water storage chamber 151. The installation position of the heating pipe 140 on the flange 130 is the upper limit position 510 of the height of the heating pipe 140. The water inlet pipe 110 and the water outlet pipe 120 are both straight pipe structures, and the magnetic ring 210 is arranged near the top of the water outlet pipe 120.

[0070] exist Figure 2 In the electric water heater shown in FIG. Figure 1 The difference between the electric water heater shown is that the water inlet pipe 110 and the water outlet pipe 120 extend from the flange 130 into the water storage chamber 151. The heating pipe 140 bends downward and extends from the flange 130 to the inner side of the water storage chamber 151, and the installation position of the heating pipe 140 on the flange 130 is the upper limit position 510 of the height of the heating pipe 140. The water inlet pipe 110 is a straight pipe structure, and the water outlet pipe 120 is a curved pipe structure. The top of the water outlet pipe 120 has a straight pipe section, and the magnetic ring 210 is arranged on the straight pipe section.

[0071] In some embodiments, reference Fig.10 The electric water heater further includes a filter 300 , which is disposed on the water inlet pipe 110 . The filter 300 is used to filter impurities in the water. The water filtered by the filter 300 flows into the electric water heater 100 .

[0072] The filter 300 includes a housing 310 and a filter element 320, and the filter element 320 is disposed in the inner cavity of the housing 310. In this specific embodiment, the filter 300 is an ultra-micro filter, and the filter element 320 is an ultra-micro filtration membrane.

[0073] The filtration accuracy of the ultra-microfiltration membrane is between 0.01-10um, which can intercept and remove suspended matter, colloids, particles, bacteria, viruses and other macromolecular substances in the water. The ultra-microfiltration membrane can remove most pollutants in tap water except ions, so the water filtered by the ultra-microfiltration membrane is suitable for domestic use.

[0074] However, after long-term use, a large amount of pollutants are easily attached to the surface of the ultra-microfiltration membrane, causing a decrease in flow rate and affecting the user experience. Therefore, the filter needs to be cleaned regularly.

[0075] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7The shell 310 is provided with a water inlet 311, a clean water outlet 312, and a sewage outlet 313. The clean water outlet 312 and the sewage outlet 313 are arranged opposite to each other along the length direction of the shell 310. The water inlet 311 is arranged on the circumferential side wall of the shell 310 and is close to the clean water outlet 312. The clean water outlet 312 is connected to the water inlet of the electric heater through a connecting pipe. A first solenoid valve 410 is arranged on the sewage pipeline connected to the sewage outlet 313 to control the on-off of the sewage pipeline. A second solenoid valve 420 is arranged on the water inlet pipeline connected to the water inlet 311 to control the on-off of the water inlet pipeline.

[0076] The housing 310 includes a first housing 314 and a second housing 315. The first housing 314 and the second housing 315 are connected to form an inner cavity for installing the filter element 320. Figure 7 For example, the water inlet 311 is provided on the circumferential side wall of the first housing 314, the sewage outlet 313 is provided at the end of the first housing 314, and the clean water outlet 312 is provided at the end of the second housing 315. One end of the filter element 320 is at a certain distance from the end where the sewage outlet 313 is located, and the other end of the filter element 320 is at a certain distance from the end where the clean water outlet 312 is located. One end of the filter element 320 close to the clean water outlet 312 is sealed against the inner circumferential wall of the first housing 314, and there is a gap between the filter element 320 and the inner circumferential wall of the first housing 314.

[0077] A protrusion structure (not shown) is disposed on the inner peripheral wall of the first shell 314 , and the protrusion structure is used to disturb the water flow into the gap.

[0078] When the electric water heater is in normal use, the filter 300 device executes the filtering mode, the sewage outlet 313 is closed, and water flows into the inner cavity of the shell 310 through the water inlet 311, flows out from the clean water outlet 312 after being filtered by the filter element 320, and flows into the electric water heater 100 for heating to provide users with water of the required temperature.

[0079] When the filter 300 filters tap water, the protruding structure disturbs the water flow in the inner cavity of the filter 300, which helps to reduce the adhesion of pollutants on the surface of the membrane filaments of the ultra-microfiltration membrane and delay the contamination of the membrane filaments.

[0080] When the filter 300 needs to be cleaned, the filter 300 device performs a forward flushing mode, water enters the inner cavity of the housing 310, flushes the filter element 320, and then is discharged from the sewage outlet 313. After the water enters the inner cavity of the housing 310, the convex structure can increase the disturbance of the water flow, which helps the pollutants to leave the surface of the filter element 320, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the filter element 320.

[0081] In some embodiments, the inner cavity of the housing 310 is provided with an internal component 330, referring to Figures 7 to 9A water flow gap 334 is formed between the built-in component 330 and the inner peripheral wall of the housing 310 (specifically the first housing 314 ), the filter element 320 is disposed in the inner cavity of the built-in component 330 , and a plurality of through holes 331 arranged at intervals are disposed on the peripheral wall of the built-in component 330 .

[0082] When the electric water heater is in normal use, tap water flows from the water inlet 311 into the water flow gap 334 between the built-in component 330 and the first shell 314. The multiple through holes 331 on the built-in component 330 play a role in flow equalization. The tap water flows into the space where the filter element 320 is located through the through holes 331. At this time, the through holes 331 help to increase the turbulence effect, which can reduce the adhesion of pollutants on the membrane fibers of the ultrafiltration membrane and delay the contamination of the membrane fibers.

[0083] When the filter element 320 inside the filter 300 is forwardly flushed, tap water flows from the water inlet 311 into the water flow gap 334 between the built-in component 330 and the first shell 314. The multiple through holes 331 on the built-in component 330 play a role in flow equalization. The tap water flows into the space where the filter element 320 is located through the through holes 331. At this time, the flushing water flow impacts and shakes the membrane fibers from all directions, which helps the pollutants to fall off the filter element 320 and improves the flushing effect of the filter element 320.

[0084] In some embodiments, protrusions 332 are respectively provided on the outer peripheral walls of the opposite ends of the built-in component 330, and the protrusions 332 are sealed against the inner peripheral wall of the housing 310 (specifically, the first housing 314). The first end of the built-in component 330 is against the inner end wall of the first end of the housing 310, and the end wall of the first end of the housing 310 is provided with a sewage outlet 313. There is a distance between the second end of the built-in component 330 and the inner end wall of the second end of the housing 310, and the end wall of the second end of the housing 310 is provided with a clean water outlet 312.

[0085] One end of the filter element 320 is connected to the second end of the built-in component 330, and the water inlet 311 is provided on the peripheral wall of the housing 310 and communicates with the gap 334 between the built-in component 330 and the housing 310. Tap water or gas flows into the gap 334 between the built-in component 330 and the first housing 314, and flows into the interior of the built-in component 330 through the through hole 331 on the built-in component 330.

[0086] In some embodiments, a through opening 333 is provided on the inner component 330 , and the through opening 333 is arranged near the first end of the inner component 330 . Dirt in the gap 334 enters the inner cavity of the inner component 330 through the through opening 333 and is then discharged from the sewage outlet 313 .

[0087] If there are larger-sized particulate pollutants in the tap water flowing into the water inlet pipe of the filter 300 through the water inlet 311, these pollutants will accumulate in the gap 334 between the built-in component 330 and the shell 310, which will affect the water flow over time. Due to the setting of the through port 333, during positive flushing, the pollutants in the gap 334 can flow into the inner cavity of the built-in component 330 from the through port 333. Since the through port 333 is set close to the sewage outlet 313, these pollutants are directly discharged from the sewage outlet 313 under the action of the water flow.

[0088] In the description of the above embodiments, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0089] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by technicians familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
