[0036] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The utility model discloses a water heater, which includes a frame 100, a heating device 200 and a heat preservation tank body 300.

[0038] Among them, the frame 100 has a first installation position 120 and a second installation position 130 arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, the heating device 200 is arranged at the first installation position 120, and the insulation tank body 300 is arranged at the second installation position 130. The insulation tank body 300 has a direct drinking water insulation chamber 310 and a tap water insulation chamber 320 that are isolated from each other. The insulation tank body 300 is provided with a first water inlet 311, a second water inlet 321, a first water outlet 312 and a second water outlet 322. The first water inlet 311 and the first water outlet 312 are both connected to the direct drinking water insulation chamber 310, and the second water inlet 321 and the second water outlet 322 are both connected to the tap water insulation chamber 320. The heating device 200 can heat the water in the direct drinking water insulation chamber 310 and / or the tap water insulation chamber 320.

[0039] It is understandable that the direct drinking water purified by the purification device can enter the direct drinking water insulation chamber 310 of the insulation tank body 300 through the first water inlet 311, and the tap water can enter the tap water insulation chamber 320 of the insulation tank body 300 through the second water inlet 321. The direct drinking water in the direct drinking water insulation chamber 310 can flow out through the first water outlet 312, and accordingly, the tap water in the tap water insulation chamber 320 can flow out through the second water outlet 322. The outflowing tap water and direct drinking water can be heated by the heating device 200, and the heated tap water or direct drinking water can be used by the user through the water pipe. Therefore, by heating the tap water and direct drinking water separately by the heating device 200, compared with the heater in the prior art that can only heat one of the direct drinking water or tap water, the utility model can simultaneously meet the user's heating needs for direct drinking water and tap water, which can save water costs and improve the user's drinking water safety. Moreover, the direct drinking water insulation chamber 310 and the tap water insulation chamber 320 are integrated into one insulation tank body 300, which can reduce the volume of the water storage container, facilitate a more reasonable layout of the pipeline structure, and help to achieve miniaturization of the equipment.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the rack 100 is also provided with a third mounting position 140, and the first mounting position 120, the second mounting position 130 and the third mounting position 140 are arranged in sequence in the horizontal direction, and the rack 100 is also provided with a refrigeration device 150 at the third mounting position 140. Direct drinking water that needs to be heated can flow into the direct drinking water insulation chamber 310 through the direct drinking water inlet pipeline, and direct drinking water that does not need to be heated can flow directly into the refrigeration device 150 through the direct drinking water inlet pipeline. After passing through the refrigeration device 150, the direct drinking water can reduce the temperature and finally flow into the user's direct drinking water water pipeline 700 for user use. Of course, in the case where direct drinking water does not need to be heated or refrigerated, direct drinking water can flow directly into the direct drinking water water pipeline 700 through the direct drinking water inlet pipeline. It should be noted that the direct drinking water water pipeline can be divided into a hot water port and a cold water port, the hot water port is used to flow out the heated direct drinking water, and the cold water port can be used to flow out the refrigerated direct drinking water or normal temperature direct drinking water.

[0041] In addition, it should be noted that the first mounting position 120, the second mounting position 130 and the third mounting position 140 arranged side by side can make the space arrangement inside the rack 100 more compact, which is conducive to the arrangement of various pipelines and can save space.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present utility model, refer to Figures 1 to 3 , further comprising a first control valve 160 disposed on the frame 100, the water inlet of the first control valve 160 being communicated with the first water outlet 312 and the second water outlet 322 respectively, and the water outlet of the first control valve 160 being connected in series with the heating device 200 to form a first heating pipeline 500. The direct drinking water and tap water flowing out of the first water outlet 312 and the second water outlet 322 can selectively flow into the heating device 200 through the first heating pipeline 500 for heating, and the direct drinking water or tap water after heating rises in temperature and can flow into the user's direct drinking water water pipeline 700 or tap water water pipeline 800 for use by the user. In this embodiment, a heating device 200 is provided to meet the heating requirements of direct drinking water and tap water, which can save equipment space.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the embodiment of the utility model also includes a second control valve 170 and a third control valve 180 arranged on the frame 100, and a third water inlet 313 and a fourth water inlet 323 are opened on the insulation tank body 300, the third water inlet 313 is connected to the direct drinking water insulation chamber 310, and the fourth water inlet 323 is connected to the tap water insulation chamber 320, the water inlet of the second control valve 170 and the water inlet of the third control valve 180 are both connected to the water outlet end of the first heating pipeline 500, the water outlet of the second control valve 170 is respectively connected to the third water inlet 313 and the direct drinking water water pipeline 700, and the water outlet of the third control valve 180 is respectively connected to the fourth water inlet 323 and the tap water water pipeline 800. When the user does not use the heated drinking water or tap water, the hot drinking water or tap water can flow back into the corresponding drinking water insulation chamber 310 or tap water insulation chamber 320 through the respective third water inlet 313 and fourth water inlet 323 .

[0044] In another embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figures 4 to 6 , further comprising a first control valve 160 and a heating element 400 disposed on the frame 100, the water inlet of the first control valve 160 being communicated with the first water outlet 312 and the water outlet of the first control valve 160 being connected in series with the heating device 200 to form a first heating pipeline 500, the heating element 400 being disposed in the tap water heat preservation chamber 320, and the second water outlet 322 being communicated with the tap water water pipe 800 to form a second heating pipe 600. The tap water can be directly heated by the heating element 400 located in the tap water heat preservation chamber 320, and the heated tap water can flow into the user's tap water pipe 800 through the second heating pipe 600 for use by the user. The direct drinking water can flow out from the first water outlet 312 and enter the heating device 200 through the first control valve 160 for heating. The heated direct drinking water can flow into the user's direct drinking water pipe 700 through the first heating pipeline 500. The first control valve 160 here can prevent the water from flowing back. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the heating device 200 can be an instant heating body, including but not limited to thick film, quartz tube and other heating bodies, and the heating element 400 located in the tap water insulation chamber 320 can use a water heater in the form of a U-shaped or spiral heating tube.

[0045] In another embodiment of the utility model, based on the previous embodiment, the placement position of the heating element 400 can also be adjusted: the water inlet of the first control valve 160 is connected to the second water outlet 322 and the water outlet of the first control valve 160 is connected in series with the heating device 200 to form a first heating pipeline 500, the first heating pipeline 500 is connected to the tap water pipeline 800, the heating element 400 is arranged in the direct drinking water insulation chamber 310, and the first water outlet 312 is connected to the direct drinking water pipeline 700 to form a second heating pipeline 600.

[0046] Each control valve 160 mentioned in the above embodiments of the present invention can be a two-position three-way solenoid valve.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a mounting bracket 110 may be provided in the rack 100 of the present invention, and the heating device 200, the heat preservation tank body 300 and the refrigeration device 150 are all mounted on the mounting bracket 110. The mounting bracket 110 can provide reliable positioning for the heating device 200, the heat preservation tank body 300 and the refrigeration device 150 to prevent movement during transportation and use.

[0048] Correspondingly, the mounting bracket 110 can be set to have a first position, a second position, and a third position, which respectively correspond to the first mounting position 120, the second mounting position 130, and the third mounting position 140 on the rack 100. The heating device 200, the insulation tank body 300, and the refrigeration device 150 are respectively located at the first position, the second position, and the third position of the mounting bracket 110.

[0049] In the embodiment of the utility model, it can be understood that the heating device 200 includes a heating pipe and a shell arranged outside the heating pipe.

[0050] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the volume of the tap water insulation chamber 320 can be designed to be larger than the volume of the direct drinking water insulation chamber 310. In practical applications, the amount of tap water used is large, so the volume of the tap water insulation box can be designed to be larger.

[0051] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, a heat preservation layer 330 is arranged on the outer side of the heat preservation tank body 300. The heat preservation layer 330 can help maintain the temperature of the water in the heat preservation tank body 300.

[0052] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a water level detection device 340 may be provided in the heat preservation tank 300 to monitor the water level in the direct drinking water heat preservation chamber 310 and the tap water heat preservation chamber 320 in real time, and control the on and off of each control valve through the control system.

[0053] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0054] Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and technicians familiar with the field may make equivalent modifications or substitutions without violating the spirit of the present invention.
