In addition, those skilled in the art may combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of the different embodiments or examples, without contradiction.

[0043] In one embodiment of the utility model, a heater and a water dispenser are provided. The heater is provided with a heating tube and a jet assembly. The jet assembly can guide the fluid to flow toward the heating tube, which can enhance the heat exchange effect between the fluid and the heating wall surface, so that the fluid can obtain more heat during the flow process, thereby improving the heat exchange effect. Figures 1 to 7 The heater and water dispenser in this embodiment are further described in the figure.

[0044] Specifically, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the heater in this embodiment includes: a heating tube 10 and a jet component 20.

[0045] The heating tube 10 has a liquid inlet port and a liquid outlet port.

[0046] Exemplarily, the heating tube 10 can be constructed as a hollow cylindrical structure, with openings provided at both ends of the heating tube 10, respectively, and the openings at the two ends are a liquid inlet port and a liquid outlet port, respectively. External fluids such as drinking water can enter the tube cavity of the heating tube 10 through the liquid inlet port. After the heating tube 10 heats the fluid, the heated fluid can leave the tube cavity of the heating tube 10 through the liquid outlet port to be supplied to the outside.

[0047] The heating tube 10 is a functional element capable of heating the fluid. It can heat the fluid by electric heating methods such as thick film heating, quartz tube heating, nanofilm heating, cast aluminum heating, stainless steel wire winding heating, etc., or it can also heat the fluid by heat exchange methods such as steam heating and combustion heating.

[0048] In this embodiment, the heating tube 10 includes: a heating tube body and a heating element, wherein the heating element is disposed on the heating tube body and configured to heat the heating tube body.

[0049] In one embodiment, when electric heating is adopted, the heating tube 10 can be made of metal materials, such as stainless steel, cast aluminum, etc., and the heating element can be a thick film resistor heater, a nano-electronic film heater or a stainless steel heater, etc., and the heating element is fitted on the outside of the heating tube 10. When it is necessary to heat the fluid in the heating tube 10, these heaters can be powered on, and then these heaters can generate high temperature and heat up the heating tube 10. When the fluid flows in the heating tube 10, the fluid can be heated.

[0050] In one embodiment, when heat exchange heating is adopted, the heating tube 10 can be made of metal material, such as stainless steel, and the heating element can be a gas heating device, which is arranged outside the heating tube 10. When it is necessary to heat the fluid in the heating tube 10, gas can be supplied to the gas heating device, and the gas heating device can ignite the gas after obtaining the gas to make it burn, thereby heating the heating tube to increase its temperature. When the fluid flows in the heating tube 10, the fluid can also be heated.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, the jet component 20 is arranged in the heating tube 10 and forms a water gap between the jet component 20 and the heating tube 10. The jet component 20 has a jet cavity and a water inlet and a plurality of jet holes 21 connected to the jet cavity. The water inlet faces the liquid inlet port, and the jet direction of the jet hole 21 faces the inner wall of the heating tube 10. A water retaining wing 25 is protruded from the outer side of the cavity wall of the jet cavity, and the height L of the water retaining wing 25 protruding from the outer side of the cavity wall of the jet cavity is 0.2 to 0.9 mm.

[0052] In practice, when the fluid flows from the liquid inlet port to the liquid outlet port in the heating tube 10, part of the fluid will enter the inner side of the jet tube 24 and then be sprayed onto the inner wall surface of the heating tube 10 through the jet hole 21, and part of the fluid will directly enter between the jet tube 24 and the heating tube 10.

[0053] At this time, the flow direction of the fluid directly entering the water gap is parallel to the axial direction M of the heating tube 10. During the heating process, on the one hand, this part of the fluid is not directly sprayed onto the inner wall surface of the heating tube 10, resulting in a poor heating effect. On the other hand, after entering the water gap, this part of the fluid will affect the heat exchange effect of the fluid sprayed toward the inner wall surface of the heating tube 10 through the jet hole 21, which will also result in a poor heating effect. Moreover, if the flow rate of the fluid in the water gap is too fast, the fluid will not be able to fully contact the inner wall surface of the heating tube, and effective heating cannot be achieved.

[0054] Based on this, in this embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there is a water retaining wing 25 on the outer side of the cavity wall of the jet cavity, and the water retaining wing 25 protrudes from the outer wall surface of the jet tube 24, and the height L of the water retaining wing 25 protruding from the outer side of the cavity wall of the jet cavity is 0.2 to 0.9 mm. It can be understood that the height L can be 0.2 mm, 0.9 mm, or any value between 0.2 and 0.9 mm.

[0055] By setting the water retaining wing 25, the fluid in the heating tube 10 can be prevented from directly entering the water gap, allowing more fluid to enter the jet cavity and then contact the inner wall surface of the heating tube 10 after changing the flow direction. Alternatively, the flow rate of the fluid in the heating tube 10 in the water gap can be slowed down to allow the fluid to fully absorb heat.

[0056] In actual application scenarios, when it is necessary to heat drinking water or other fluids in a water dispenser with the help of the heater in this embodiment, the fluid to be heated can enter the heating tube 10 through the liquid inlet port, and the heating tube 10 can heat the fluid in the heating tube 10. When the fluid flows toward the liquid outlet port in the heating tube 10, part of the fluid will enter the jet cavity. Under the pressure of the fluid, the fluid in the jet cavity flows outward along the radial direction of the heating tube 10 and enters the water gap through the jet hole 21. In addition, due to the jet A water retaining wing 25 is arranged on the outer side of the cavity wall of the flow cavity, and the height L of the water retaining wing 25 is 0.2 to 0.9 mm. The water retaining wing 25 has a certain height, and the water retaining wing 25 can prevent the fluid in the heating tube 10 from directly entering the water gap, so that more fluid can enter the jet cavity to ensure that more fluid can be sprayed to the inner wall surface of the heating tube 10 through the jet hole 21, or the flow rate of the fluid in the water gap can be slowed down so that the fluid can fully absorb heat. Finally, these fluids flow out through the liquid outlet port.

[0057] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the utility model, by arranging the jet assembly 20 in the heater, the fluid in the heating tube 10 can be guided to flow toward the inner wall of the heating tube 10, so that the fluid can fully exchange heat with the heating tube 10, and by arranging the water retaining wing 25, and setting the height L of the water retaining wing 25 to 0.2 to 0.9 mm, the fluid can be prevented from directly entering the water gap, so that more fluid can be sprayed onto the inner wall surface of the heating tube 10 to fully receive the heat from the heating tube 10, or the flow speed of the fluid in the water gap can be slowed down, so that the fluid can contact the inner wall surface of the heating tube 10 for a longer time, thereby improving the heat exchange effect, and finally improving the heat exchange effect.

[0058] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the jet assembly 20 includes: a central column 22, a water baffle 23 and a jet tube 24, the water baffle 23 is fixedly sleeved on the central column 22, one end of the jet tube 24 faces the liquid inlet port to form a water inlet, the other end of the jet tube 24 is connected to the water baffle 23, the jet hole 21 is located on the wall of the jet tube 24, a jet cavity is formed between the inner wall of the jet tube 24 and the outer wall of the central column 22, and the water baffle 25 is protruding from the outer wall of the jet tube 24.

[0059] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the central column 22 has a certain length and can be made of metal material, such as stainless steel. The central column 22 is coaxially arranged in the heating tube 10, and the axis of the central column 22 is substantially parallel to the axis of the heating tube 10. Optionally, the central column 22 is coaxially arranged at the axis center position of the heating tube 10.

[0060] Moreover, the central column 22 can be either a hollow tubular structure or a solid columnar structure. In the present embodiment, in order to reduce the overall weight of the heater, the central column 22 is a hollow tubular structure.

[0061] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, a heating chamber 11 is formed between the outer wall of the central column 22 and the inner wall of the heating tube 10, and fluids such as drinking water can flow in the heating chamber 11. For example, the fluid entering the heating chamber 11 through the liquid inlet port can flow from one end of the heating tube 10 to the other end in the heating chamber 11 and leave the heating chamber 11 through the liquid outlet port.

[0062] The central column 22 is mainly used to support the water baffle 23, and the central column 22 can be fixedly arranged in the heating tube 10. In this embodiment, the central column 22 is detachably arranged in the heating tube 10, and both ends of the central column 22 can be fixed by means of a connecting structure. Alternatively, the central column 22 can also be directly fixedly arranged inside the heating tube 10 by means of other structural members.

[0063] The water baffle 23 is roughly constructed as a circular plate structure with a certain thickness. The water baffle 23 is sleeved onto the outer wall of the center column 22 and extends outward in the radial direction of the center column 22. One end of the jet tube 24 is connected to the water baffle 23, and the other end extends toward the liquid inlet port of the heating tube. The jet tube 24 is provided with a jet hole 21.

[0064] The jet tube 24 can force the fluid to flow outward toward the inner wall of the heating tube 10 in the radial direction of the center column 22 during the process of the fluid flowing from one end of the heating tube 10 to the other end, so that the fluid can contact the inner wall of the heating tube 10 and the fluid can obtain heat from the heating tube 10, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0065] In this embodiment, in order to allow more fluid to flow outward in the radial direction of the central column 22 toward the inner wall of the heating tube 10, the jet tube 24 is roughly constructed as a hollow cylindrical structure. The jet tube 24 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the central column 22, and one end of the jet tube 24 is connected to the water baffle 23, and the other end extends toward the liquid inlet port.

[0066] In other embodiments, a plurality of jet tubes 24 may also be disposed around the outer circumference of the central column 22 .

[0067] The jet hole 21 is arranged on the jet tube 24 . The jet hole 21 may be a circular hole. The jet hole 21 enables the jet cavity and the water gap to communicate with each other.

[0068] In actual use, in the process of the fluid in the heating chamber 11 flowing from one end to the other end of the heating tube 10, part of the fluid can directly enter the water gap, and the rest of the fluid enters the jet chamber through the water inlet. The water baffle 23 can block these fluids, so that only the jet hole 21 in the radial direction of the center column 22 enters the water gap. The fluid in the water gap can fully obtain the heat of the heating tube 10 to achieve heating.

[0069] Moreover, a sealed connection can be achieved between the water baffle 23 and the center column 22, so that all the fluid in the jet cavity can flow outward in the radial direction of the center column 22 toward the inner wall of the heating tube 10 and enter the water gap.

[0070] In one embodiment, the center column 22, the water baffle 23 and the jet tube 24 are an integrated structure. For example, the center column 22, the water baffle 23 and the jet tube 24 can all be made of metal materials, such as stainless steel. The water baffle 23 can be fixedly connected to the center column 22 by welding or the like, and the jet tube 24 can be integrally formed with the water baffle 23.

[0071] In yet another embodiment, the center column 22, the water baffle plate 23 and the jet tube 24 may be directly fixedly connected by means of bolts or other structures.

[0072] In one embodiment, in order to ensure that the fluid in the heating chamber 11 can enter the jet chamber as much as possible, or to allow the fluid in the water gap to contact the inner wall surface of the heating tube 10 for as long as possible, the water retaining wing 25 surrounds the outer side of the cavity wall of the jet chamber. Exemplarily, the water retaining wing 25 can be constructed as an annular flange structure protruding from the outer wall surface of the jet tube 24 and extending along the circumferential direction of the jet tube 24. Moreover, the water retaining wing 25 can be integrally formed with the jet tube 24.

[0073] In one embodiment, a groove is provided at the outer edge of the water retaining wing 25. Exemplarily, the water retaining wing 25 can be constructed as a plurality of protruding structures protruding from the outer wall surface of the jet tube 24 and spaced along the circumferential direction of the jet tube 24, and grooves are formed between these protruding structures, and, in order to meet different needs, the heights of these protruding structures protruding from the outer wall surface of the jet tube 24 can be different.

[0074] Furthermore, there are multiple jet cavities, and at least some of the jet cavities are provided with water retaining wings 25 .

[0075] In this embodiment, the heating tube 10 is a tubular structure with a certain length. In order to ensure that the fluid in each part of the heating tube 10 in the axial direction M can contact the inner wall of the heating tube 10 under the guidance of the jet assembly 20 to improve the heat exchange effect, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple jet assemblies 20, and the multiple jet assemblies 20 are sequentially spaced along the axial direction of the central column 22. It can be understood that the axial direction of the central column 22 is parallel to the axial direction M of the heating tube 10.

[0076] For example, Figure 6 As shown, multiple jet assemblies 20 can share the same central column 22, that is, in the axial direction of the central column 22, the structure formed by the water baffle 23 and the jet tube 24 can be arranged in sequence along the axial direction M of the heating tube 10, and there is a certain gap between adjacent jet tubes 24.

[0077] In practice, Figure 3 As shown, when the fluid in the heating chamber 11 flows from one end to the other end of the heating tube 10, the fluid will enter the jet chamber of the first jet tube 24, and then flow toward the heating tube 10 through the jet hole 21 of the first jet tube 24 to achieve initial heating. After that, the fluid will enter the jet chamber of the second jet tube 24, and then flow toward the heating tube 10 through the jet hole 21 of the second jet tube 24 to achieve reheating. This reciprocating cycle will eventually achieve overall heating of the fluid in the heating chamber 11.

[0078] Furthermore, in order to prevent the fluid from directly entering the water gap or to allow the fluid in the water gap to stay as long as possible, some of the jet tubes 24 may be provided with water retaining wings 25 , or all of the jet tubes 24 may be provided with water retaining wings 25 .

[0079] Preferably, in this embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, all jet chambers are provided with water retaining wings 25. That is, all jet tubes 24 are provided with water retaining wings 25.

[0080] In this embodiment, all the water retaining wings 25 are arranged at the front end of the jet tube 24 .

[0081] In other embodiments, the installation positions of the water retaining wings 25 provided on at least part of the jet chambers are different. It can be understood that there are multiple jet tubes 24, and the positions of the water retaining wings 25 provided on different jet tubes 24 can be different. For example, the water retaining wings 25 on some jet tubes 24 can be located at the front end of the jet tube 24, the water retaining wings 25 on some jet tubes 24 can be located at the rear end of the jet tube 24, only one water retaining wing 25 can be provided on some jet tubes 24, and multiple water retaining wings 25 can be provided on some jet tubes 24.

[0082] In one embodiment, the protruding heights of the water retaining wings 25 on different jet chambers are different. It is understandable that the protruding heights of the water retaining wings 25 on different jet tubes 24 are different according to the requirements of different heating stages.

[0083] In one embodiment, in the direction from the liquid inlet port toward the liquid outlet port, the protruding heights of the water retaining wings 25 on different jet cavities gradually increase.

[0084] It can be understood that in order to allow the fluid to be better heated during the heating process and ensure that the fluid in the water gap can contact the inner wall surface of the heating tube 10 for a longer time, multiple jet tubes 24 are provided with water retaining wings 25. In the direction from the liquid inlet port to the liquid outlet port, the height of the water retaining wings 25 protruding from the outer wall surface of the jet tube 24 gradually increases.

[0085] In one embodiment, a water retaining wing 25 is provided at least at one end of the jet cavity.

[0086] Exemplarily, one end of the jet tube 23 close to the liquid inlet port and away from the water baffle 24 is the front end, and one end of the jet tube 23 close to the liquid outlet port and close to the water baffle 24 is the rear end.

[0087] For example, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the water retaining wing 25 can be arranged at the front end of the jet tube 23.

[0088] In this embodiment, the water retaining wing 25 is arranged on one side of the jet tube 24 close to the liquid inlet port of the heating tube 10, and the jet hole 21 is located downstream of the water retaining wing 25. At this time, the water retaining wing 25 can directly block the fluid in the heating tube 10 from entering the gap between the jet tube and the heating tube, so as to allow more fluid to enter the inner side of the jet tube 10, thereby ensuring that more fluid can be sprayed onto the inner wall surface of the heating tube 10 through the jet hole 21.

[0089] Optionally, the gap between the water retaining wing 25 and the inner wall surface of the heating tube 10 may be less than or equal to 1 mm.

[0090] Optionally, the water retaining wing 25 may directly abut against the inner wall surface of the heating tube 10 , which can completely prevent the fluid from directly entering the gap between the water retaining wing 25 and the heating tube 10 , so as to achieve a better blocking effect on the fluid.

[0091] Exemplarily, the water retaining wing 25 may be disposed at the rear end of the jet tube 23 .

[0092] In this embodiment, the water retaining wing 25 is arranged on one side of the jet tube 24 close to the liquid outlet port of the heating tube 10, and the jet hole 21 is located upstream of the water retaining wing 25. At this time, the water retaining wing 25 can slow down the flow speed of the fluid between the jet tube 24 and the heating tube 10, so that the fluid can fully absorb the heat of the heating tube 10. Afterwards, the fluid continues to flow through the gap between the water retaining wing 25 and the heating tube 10.

[0093] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the water retaining wings 25 can also be set at the front and rear ends of the jet tube 23 at the same time. In this case, the two water retaining wings 25 can prevent the fluid in the heating chamber 11 from directly entering the water gap, and can also allow the fluid to stay in the water gap for a longer time.

[0094] In one embodiment, the water retaining wing 25 is spaced apart from both the front end and the rear end of the jet cavity.

[0095] In this embodiment, the water retaining wing 25 is located in the middle of the jet tube 24, and the jet tube 24 is provided with jet holes 21 on opposite sides of the water retaining wing 25. At this time, the water retaining wing 25 can, on the one hand, slow down the flow speed of the upstream fluid between the jet tube and the heating tube, allowing the fluid to contact the inner wall surface of the heating tube 10 for a longer time, and on the other hand, it can prevent the upstream fluid from directly entering the downstream of the water retaining wing 25, so that all the fluid can be sprayed onto the inner wall surface of the heating tube 10 to fully receive the heat from the heating tube 10, or it can improve the heat exchange effect, thereby ultimately improving the heat exchange effect.

[0096] Preferably, in this embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in order to prevent the fluid in the heating chamber 11 from directly entering the water gap, the distance between the water retaining wing 25 and the front end of the jet chamber is smaller than the distance between the rear end of the jet chamber.

[0097] That is to say, the water retaining wing 25 is arranged at the front end of the jet tube 23. At this time, the upstream of the water retaining wing 25 may be provided with a jet hole 21, or may not be provided with the jet hole 21.

[0098] Optionally, the water retaining wing 25 disposed at the front end of the jet tube 23 may directly abut against the inner wall surface of the heating tube 10 to completely prevent the fluid from directly entering the gap between the water retaining wing 25 and the heating tube 10, thereby achieving a better blocking effect on the fluid.

[0099] In other embodiments, the installation positions of the water retaining wings 25 provided on at least part of the jet chambers are different. It can be understood that there are multiple jet tubes 24, and the positions of the water retaining wings 25 provided on different jet tubes 24 can be different. For example, the water retaining wings 25 on some jet tubes 24 can be located at the front end of the jet tube 24, the water retaining wings 25 on some jet tubes 24 can be located at the rear end of the jet tube 24, only one water retaining wing 25 can be provided on some jet tubes 24, and multiple water retaining wings 25 can be provided on some jet tubes 24.

[0100] In one embodiment, in the direction from the liquid inlet port toward the liquid outlet port, the distance between the water retaining wings 25 on different jet cavities and the front end of the jet cavity gradually increases.

[0101] Exemplarily, multiple jet tubes 24 are provided with water retaining wings 25. In the direction from the liquid inlet port toward the liquid outlet port, the water retaining wings 25 on the jet tube 24 close to the liquid inlet port can be close to the front end of the jet tube 24, the water retaining wings 25 on the jet tube 24 located in the middle section of the heating tube 10 can be located in the middle of the jet tube 24, and the water retaining wings 25 on the jet tube 24 close to the liquid outlet port can be close to the rear end of the jet tube 24.

[0102] At this time, after the fluid enters the heating chamber 11, in the early stage, the fluid cannot directly enter the water gap, and the fluid needs to enter the jet chamber as much as possible. In the middle stage, part of the fluid can directly enter the water gap, and another part of the fluid enters the jet chamber. In the later stage, the fluid can directly enter the water gap, and the fluid is heated in stages.

[0103] In one embodiment, in order to ensure that the fluid in the jet cavity can effectively flow toward the inner wall of the heating tube 10 , the hole axis of the jet hole 21 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the heating tube 10 .

[0104] In one embodiment, in order to allow the fluid in the jet cavity to effectively flow to the heating tube 10, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, there are multiple jet holes 21 , wherein the multiple jet holes 21 are sequentially spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the jet tube 24 ; and / or the multiple jet holes 21 are sequentially spaced apart along the axial direction of the jet tube 24 .

[0105] Exemplarily, when a plurality of jet holes 21 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the jet tube 24, for example, 12 to 22 jet holes 21 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the jet tube 24, the fluid in the jet chamber can flow from the circumferential side of the jet tube 24 to the heating chamber 11 via the plurality of jet holes 21, so that the fluid can contact the inner wall of the heating tube 10 in the circumferential direction of the jet tube 24 to obtain more heat. When a plurality of jet holes 21 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the jet tube 24, for example, 2 to 4 jet holes 21 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the jet tube 24, the fluid in the jet chamber can flow to the heating chamber 11 in the axial direction of the jet tube 24 via the plurality of jet holes 21, avoiding excessive accumulation of the fluid inside the jet tube 24, which can improve the flow efficiency of the fluid, and also allow the fluid inside the jet tube 24 to contact the inner wall of the heating tube 10 in advance, which can improve the heat exchange efficiency of the fluid. It can be understood that the axial direction of the jet tube 24 is parallel to the axial direction M of the heating tube 10 .

[0106] In one embodiment, in order to allow the fluid in the heating chamber 11 to fully contact the inner wall of the heating tube 10 and allow the fluid to obtain more heat, Figure 3 As shown, the gap distance between the jet tube 24 and the central column 22 is greater than the gap distance between the jet tube 24 and the heating tube 10 .

[0107] Exemplarily, the axial lines of the center column 22, the jet tube 24 and the heating tube 10 are roughly colinear with each other, and in the radial direction of the center column 22, the distance between the outer wall of the center column 22 and the inner wall of the jet tube 24 is greater than the distance between the outer wall of the jet tube 24 and the inner wall of the heating tube 10.

[0108] Therefore, in practice, when the fluid in the heating chamber 11 flows from one end to the other end of the heating tube 10, more fluid can enter the jet chamber, and these fluids then enter the water gap through the jet holes 21, thereby ensuring that more fluid can flow toward the inner wall of the heating tube 10, achieving more heat exchange, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0109] In one embodiment, the heater further includes a water inlet assembly 40 and a water outlet assembly 50 , wherein the water inlet assembly 40 is connected to the liquid inlet port of the heating tube 10 , and the water outlet assembly 50 is connected to the liquid outlet port of the heating tube 10 .

[0110] That is to say, external fluids such as drinking water can enter the heating tube 10 through the water inlet assembly 40 and then leave the heating tube 10 through the water outlet assembly 50 .

[0111] In one embodiment, the water inlet assembly 40 can guide external fluid into the heating chamber 11, such as Figure 3 As shown, the water inlet assembly 40 may include: a water inlet body 41 , in which a water inlet 42 and a water inlet cavity 43 are provided, and the water inlet 42 is connected to the heating cavity 11 via the water inlet cavity.

[0112] Exemplarily, the water inlet body 41 can be made of a metal material, such as stainless steel, and a water inlet 42 is provided at the first end of the water inlet body 41, which is connected to the water inlet chamber 43. The second end of the water inlet body 41 can be connected to the heating tube 10, and the water inlet chamber 43 is connected to the heating chamber 11.

[0113] As an implementation method, the water inlet body 41 can be fixedly connected to the end of the heating pipe 10 by means of a flange structure.

[0114] In actual use, the first end of the water inlet body 41 can be connected to a water inlet pipe, and fluid such as drinking water supplied in the water inlet pipe can enter the water inlet cavity 43 through the water inlet 42 and then enter the heating cavity 11.

[0115] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the water inlet assembly 40 includes: a water inlet sealing ring 44, which is sleeved on the end of the water inlet body 41 facing the heating tube 10, and the water inlet sealing ring 44 can form a seal between the water inlet body 41 and the heating tube 10.

[0116] Exemplarily, the water inlet sealing ring 44 can be made of a high-temperature resistant rubber material, the second end of the water inlet body 41 can be partially inserted into the heating tube 10, the water inlet sealing ring 44 is sleeved on the second end of the water inlet body 41, and the water inlet sealing ring 44 is provided with a radially outward extending annular abutment flange on one side close to the water inlet 42.

[0117] During installation, the water inlet sealing ring 44 can be partially inserted into the heating tube 10 following the second end of the water inlet body 41. The water inlet sealing ring 44 can simultaneously abut against the second end of the water inlet body 41 and the inner wall of the heating tube 10. At the same time, the annular abutting flange of the water inlet sealing ring 44 can also simultaneously abut against the ends of the water inlet body 41 and the heating tube 10. Afterwards, after the water inlet body 41 is fixed to the end of the heating tube 10, the water inlet sealing ring 44 can be used to achieve sealing between the water inlet body 41 and the heating tube 10.

[0118] Moreover, in order to improve the sealing effect, a plurality of annular sealing flanges can be further provided on the outer periphery of the water inlet sealing ring 44 . The plurality of annular sealing flanges are arranged at intervals along the axial direction M of the heating tube 10 , and the plurality of annular sealing flanges can all abut against the inner wall of the heating tube 10 .

[0119] Therefore, by providing a plurality of annular sealing flanges on the outer periphery of the water inlet sealing ring 44 , the sealing effect between the heating tube 10 and the water inlet sealing ring 44 can be further improved.

[0120] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the water inlet assembly 40 includes: a first positioning plate 45, one side of the first positioning plate 45 is connected to the end of the water inlet body 41 facing the heating tube 10, and the other side of the first positioning plate 45 is connected to the end of the center column 22 facing the water inlet assembly 40.

[0121] It can be understood that, as previously described, the center column 22 in this embodiment is detachably arranged inside the heating tube 10. After the center column 22 is placed inside the heating tube 10, the end of the center column 22 can be fixed and positioned with the help of the first positioning plate 45.

[0122] As an implementation manner, a first positioning hole is provided at the end of the center column 22 facing the water inlet assembly 40 , and the first positioning sheet 45 has a first positioning protrusion, which is adapted to be inserted in the first positioning hole.

[0123] During installation, the first positioning protrusion on the first positioning piece 45 can be inserted into the first positioning hole of the center column 22. Afterwards, the first positioning piece 45 can be fixed by utilizing the fixed connection between the water inlet body 41 and the heating tube 10, so that one end of the center column 22 can be positioned and fixed.

[0124] In a specific embodiment, the first positioning plate 45 may also include a plurality of first extension plates, which are arranged in sequence along the circumference of the first positioning protrusion, one end of the plurality of first extension plates is connected to the first positioning protrusion, and the other end extends outward along the radial direction of the first positioning protrusion.

[0125] A radially inwardly extending abutment ring is provided on the side of the water inlet sealing ring 44 away from the water inlet port 42. After the water inlet sealing ring 44 is sleeved onto the second end of the water inlet body 41, the abutment ring on the water inlet sealing ring 44 can abut against the end of the second end in the axial direction of the water inlet body 41. It can be understood that the axial direction of the water inlet body 41 is parallel to the axial direction M of the heating tube 10.

[0126] During actual installation, after the center column 22 is placed in the heating tube 10, the first positioning protrusion on the first positioning sheet 45 can be inserted into the first positioning hole of the center column 22, and then the water inlet sealing ring 44 can be abutted against the multiple first extension plates of the first positioning sheet 45, so as to fix the first positioning sheet 45. Moreover, after the fluid enters the water inlet cavity 43 of the water inlet body 41, the fluid can enter the heating cavity 11 through the gaps between the multiple first extension plates.

[0127] Optionally, the first positioning piece 45 and the water inlet sealing ring 44 can be positioned with the help of a slot structure. For example, a slot is provided on the side of the water inlet sealing ring 44 facing the first positioning piece 45, and the first positioning piece 45 can be adapted to be snapped into the slot.

[0128] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the water inlet component 40 includes: a water inlet temperature sensor 46 , which is inserted into the water inlet cavity 43 and is used to sense the temperature in the water inlet cavity 43 .

[0129] For example, a mounting hole connected to the water inlet cavity 43 is provided on the side of the water inlet body 41, and the water inlet temperature sensor 46 can be inserted into the water inlet cavity 43 through the mounting hole. Therefore, by providing the water inlet temperature sensor 46 in the water inlet cavity 43, the temperature in the water inlet cavity 43 can be accurately obtained, so as to effectively control the heating temperature.

[0130] In one embodiment, the water outlet assembly 50 can guide the fluid in the heating chamber 11 to be supplied to the outside, such as Figure 3 As shown, the water outlet assembly 50 may include: a water outlet body 51 , in which a water outlet 52 and a water outlet cavity 53 are provided, and the water outlet 52 is connected to the heating cavity 11 via the water outlet cavity 53 .

[0131] Similarly, the water outlet body 51 can be made of a metal material, such as stainless steel. A water outlet 52 is provided at the first end of the water outlet body 51, and the water outlet 52 is connected to the water outlet chamber 53. The second end of the water outlet body 51 can be connected to the heating pipe 10, and the water outlet chamber 53 is connected to the heating chamber 11.

[0132] As an implementation method, the water outlet body 51 can be fixedly connected to the end of the heating pipe 10 by means of a flange structure.

[0133] In actual use, the first end of the water outlet body 51 can be connected to the water outlet pipe, and the fluid heated in the heating chamber 11 can enter the water outlet chamber 53 and then enter the water outlet pipe through the water outlet 52 to be supplied to the outside.

[0134] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the water outlet assembly 50 includes: a water outlet sealing ring 54, which is sleeved on the end of the water outlet body 51 facing the heating pipe 10, and the water outlet sealing ring 54 can form a seal between the water outlet body 51 and the heating pipe 10.

[0135] Similarly, the water outlet sealing ring 54 can be made of a high-temperature resistant rubber material, and the second end of the water outlet body 51 can be partially inserted into the heating pipe 10. The water outlet sealing ring 54 is sleeved on the second end of the water outlet body 51, and a radially outwardly extending annular abutment flange is provided on one side of the water outlet sealing ring 54 close to the water outlet 52.

[0136] During installation, the water outlet sealing ring 54 can be partially inserted into the heating tube 10 along with the second end of the water outlet body 51. The water outlet sealing ring 54 can simultaneously abut against the second end of the water outlet body 51 and the inner wall of the heating tube 10. At the same time, the annular abutting flange of the water outlet sealing ring 54 can also simultaneously abut against the ends of the water outlet body 51 and the heating tube 10. Afterwards, after the water outlet body 51 is fixed to the end of the heating tube 10, the water outlet sealing ring 54 can be used to achieve sealing between the water outlet body 51 and the heating tube 10.

[0137] Moreover, in order to improve the sealing effect, a plurality of annular sealing flanges can be further provided on the outer periphery of the water outlet sealing ring 54 . The plurality of annular sealing flanges are arranged at intervals along the axial direction M of the heating tube 10 , and the plurality of annular sealing flanges can all abut against the inner wall of the heating tube 10 .

[0138] Therefore, by providing a plurality of annular sealing flanges on the outer periphery of the water outlet sealing ring 54 , the sealing effect between the heating tube 10 and the water outlet sealing ring 54 can be further improved.

[0139] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the water outlet assembly 50 includes: a second positioning plate 55, one side of the second positioning plate 55 is connected to the end of the water outlet body 51 facing the heating tube 10, and the other side of the second positioning plate 55 is connected to the end of the center column 22 facing the water outlet assembly 50.

[0140] It can be understood that, as previously described, the center column 22 in this embodiment is detachably arranged inside the heating tube 10. After the center column 22 is placed inside the heating tube 10, the other end of the center column 22 can be fixed and positioned with the help of the second positioning plate 55.

[0141] As an implementation manner, a second positioning hole is provided at the end of the center column 22 facing the water outlet assembly 50 , and the second positioning piece 55 has a second positioning protrusion, which is adapted to be inserted in the second positioning hole.

[0142] During installation, the second positioning protrusion on the second positioning piece 55 can be inserted into the second positioning hole of the center column 22. Afterwards, the second positioning piece 55 can be fixed by utilizing the fixed connection between the water outlet body 51 and the heating tube 10, thereby positioning and fixing one end of the center column 22.

[0143] Therefore, with the help of the water inlet assembly 40 and the water outlet assembly 50, the center column 22 can be positioned and fixed from both ends of the center column 22, so that the center column 22 can be stably installed inside the heating tube 10.

[0144] In a specific embodiment, the second positioning plate 55 may also include a plurality of second extension plates, which are arranged in sequence along the circumference of the second positioning protrusion, one end of the plurality of second extension plates is connected to the second positioning protrusion, and the other end extends outward along the radial direction of the second positioning protrusion.

[0145] A radially inwardly extending abutment ring is provided on the side of the water outlet sealing ring 54 away from the water outlet 52. After the water outlet sealing ring 54 is sleeved onto the second end of the water outlet body 51, the abutment ring on the water outlet sealing ring 54 can abut against the end of the second end in the axial direction of the water outlet body 51. It can be understood that the axial direction of the water outlet body 51 is parallel to the axial direction M of the heating pipe 10.

[0146] During actual installation, after the center column 22 is placed in the heating tube 10, the first positioning protrusion on the second positioning sheet 55 can be inserted into the second positioning hole of the center column 22, and then the water outlet sealing ring 54 can be abutted against the multiple second extension plates of the second positioning sheet 55, so as to fix the second positioning sheet 55. Moreover, when the fluid in the heating chamber 11 needs to flow out, the fluid can enter the water outlet chamber 53 of the water outlet body 51 through the gaps between the multiple second extension plates and then flow out.

[0147] Optionally, the second positioning piece 55 and the water outlet sealing ring 54 can be positioned with the help of a slot structure. For example, a slot is provided on the side of the water outlet sealing ring 54 facing the second positioning piece 55, and the second positioning piece 55 can be adapted to be snapped into the slot.

[0148] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the water outlet assembly 50 includes: a water outlet temperature sensor 56 , which is inserted into the water outlet cavity 53 and is used to sense the temperature in the water outlet cavity 53 .

[0149] For example, a mounting hole connected to the water outlet cavity 53 is provided on the side of the water outlet body 51, and the water outlet temperature sensor 56 can be inserted into the water outlet cavity 53 through the mounting hole. Therefore, by providing the water outlet temperature sensor 56 in the water outlet cavity 53, the temperature in the water outlet cavity 53 can be accurately obtained, so as to effectively control the heating temperature.

[0150] In this embodiment, a water dispenser is also provided. Figure 7 As shown, the water dispenser includes: a water dispenser body and a heater in this embodiment.

[0151] In one embodiment, the water dispenser further comprises a heat storage device, the liquid inlet port of the heat storage device is used to communicate with the water supply system; the liquid inlet port of the heater is communicated with the liquid outlet port of the heat storage device, and the liquid outlet port of the heater can be selectively communicated with the heat storage device and the water outlet;

[0152] When the liquid outlet port of the heater is connected to the heat storage device, the heat storage device uses the hot water output by the heater to store heat.

[0153] like Figure 7 As shown, the water dispenser includes: a heat storage module 1 and a heater 2; the liquid inlet port of the heat storage module 1 is used to communicate with the water supply system 5; the liquid inlet port of the heater 2 is communicated with the liquid outlet port of the heat storage module 1, and the liquid outlet port of the heater 2 can be selectively communicated with the heat storage module 1 and the water outlet 6;

[0154] When the liquid outlet port of the heater 2 is connected to the heat storage module 1 , the heat storage module 1 uses the hot water output by the heater 2 to store heat.

[0155] It is understandable that the water supply system 5 can be either a water tank or a water purification system, which can stably supply water to the liquid inlet port of the thermal storage module 1 .

[0156] The heat storage module 1 generally includes a heat exchange element and a heat storage material. A heat exchange channel is formed on the inner side of the heat exchange element. The heat storage material is in contact with the outer side of the heat exchange element. The heat storage material may be a solid-liquid phase change material, cast aluminum, water, etc. The water supply system 5 is connected to the heater 2 through the heat exchange channel.

[0157] The liquid outlet port of the heater 2 can be connected to the liquid inlet port of the heat exchange channel or the middle of the heat exchange channel, so as to supply the hot water output by the heater 2 to the heat exchange channel of the heat storage module 1, and then based on the heat exchange of the wall of the heat exchange channel, the thermal energy of the hot water is stored in the phase change material; the temperature of the phase change material rises after the charging is completed, and the temperature in the heat exchange channel can be maintained within a preset range for a certain period of time, thereby preheating the cold water passing through the heat exchange channel.

[0158] In practical applications, before the user takes water, or during the idle time when the user takes water (no water taking operation), the liquid outlet port of the heater 2 can be connected to the heat storage module 1 to use hot water to store heat and charge the heat storage module 1.

[0159] The heater 2 can adaptively adjust the heating power according to the outlet water temperature of the water outlet 6 .

[0160] As can be seen from the above, the water dispenser can utilize the hot water output by the heater 2 to store heat in the heat storage module 1 by configuring the heat storage module 1 and the heater 2, without the need to use other additional equipment to provide the thermal energy required for the heat storage of the heat storage module 1, which is not only low-cost but also energy-saving and environmentally friendly. After the heat storage module 1 completes heat storage, the heat storage module 1 can be used to preheat the cold water supplied by the water supply system 5, and then the heater 2 can be used to heat the preheated water. This design is conducive to ensuring the water outlet temperature and flow rate of the water outlet 6. The water dispenser can instantly output a large flow of hot water from the water outlet 6, reducing the user's water connection time, thereby realizing a large flow of hot water supply in an energy-saving and efficient manner.

[0161] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the water dispenser further includes a valve control 3, and the valve control 3 has a first state and a second state;

[0162] When the valve control 3 is in the first state, the liquid outlet port of the heater 2 is connected to the water outlet 6 through the valve control 3; when the valve control 3 is in the second state, the liquid outlet port of the heater 2 is connected to the heat storage module 1 through the valve control 3 to form a circulating water circuit based on the heat storage module 1 and the heater 2.

[0163] It is understandable that the valve control unit 3 can be a two-position three-way electromagnetic reversing valve, and the water dispenser is equipped with an operation panel and a control module. The operation panel and the control module are electrically connected, and the control module and the valve control unit 3 are electrically connected.

[0164] The operation panel is used to receive a first operation instruction from the user, for example, the first operation instruction may be a water extraction instruction. The control module responds to the first operation instruction and controls the valve control 3 to be in the first state. At this time, the water dispenser operates in the water outlet mode, and the water supplied by the water supply system 5 passes through the heat storage module 1, the heater 2 and the valve control 3 in sequence, and then is output from the water outlet 6. Since the water has been preheated to a certain temperature before entering the heater 2, the difference between the inlet temperature of the heater 2 and the target temperature is reduced, so that the heater 2 can heat a larger flow of water to a high temperature.

[0165] At the same time, the operation panel is used to receive the user's second operation instruction, which may be a power-on instruction or a heat storage instruction. The control module responds to the second operation instruction and controls the valve control 3 to be in the second state. At this time, the water dispenser operates in the heat storage mode, and the heat storage module 1, heater 2 and valve control 3 are connected in sequence to form a circulating water circuit.

[0166] In the process of storing heat in the heat storage module 1, the heater 2 starts to run. When the hot water output by the heater 2 flows through the heat storage module 1, part of the heat of the hot water is transferred to the heat storage material in the heat storage module 1. After the water temperature drops, it flows into the heater 2 for heating, and this cycle is repeated until the water is heated to the target heating temperature.

[0167] The target heating temperature is greater than the phase change temperature of the heat storage material in the heat storage module 1 to ensure the effect of using hot water to store heat and charge the heat storage module 1 .

[0168] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the water dispenser further includes a pumping member 4 ; the pumping member 4 is arranged in the circulating water circuit and is used to drive the water to flow through the heat storage module 1 in a directional manner toward the heater 2 .

[0169] It can be understood that the pumping component 4 is a hot water pump, and the pumping component 4 has a flow control function to control the flow rate of the pumped water; when the water dispenser is in the water outlet mode, the pumping component 4 controls the flow rate of the pumped water, the heat storage module 1 ensures the preheating temperature of the water, and the heater 2 further controls the heating power of the water. These three cooperate with each other to ensure the flow rate and temperature of the water output from the water outlet 6.

[0170] At the same time, the pumping component 4 can be arranged on the pipeline between the liquid inlet port of the heat storage module 1 and the liquid outlet port of the heater 2. This design ensures that the pumping component 4 can take into account the pumping requirements of the water body of the water dispenser in the water outlet mode and the heat storage mode. Regardless of whether the water dispenser is in the water outlet mode or the heat storage mode, the water dispenser can work normally.

[0171] In some embodiments, the water dispenser further includes a first trigger, which is connected to the valve control 3; the first trigger is used to receive a water extraction instruction signal, and the valve control 3 is used to switch to the first state according to the signal fed back by the first trigger.

[0172] It is understandable that the first trigger component is electrically connected to the control module, and the control module is electrically connected to the valve control unit 3. The control module controls the working state of the valve control unit 3 according to the trigger instruction fed back by the first trigger component, so that the water dispenser enters the water outlet mode.

[0173] Optionally, the first trigger member may be a water intake button, which may be disposed on an operation panel and used for receiving a pressing instruction from a user.

[0174] Optionally, the first trigger member may be a trigger switch, which is disposed on a water intake valve located at the water outlet 6 and is triggered when a user opens the water intake valve.

[0175] In some embodiments, the water dispenser also includes a second trigger, which is connected to the valve control 3; the second trigger is used to receive a power-on command signal or a heat storage command signal, and the valve control 3 is used to switch to the second state according to the signal feedback from the second trigger.

[0176] It is understandable that the second trigger component is electrically connected to the control module, and the control module is electrically connected to the valve control unit 3.
