Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bathrooms, in particular to a wireless controlled pre-drain cold water shower. Background Art

[0002] Existing showers generally include a temperature control valve to mix the hot water entering the hot water inlet channel and the cold water entering the cold water inlet channel, so that water with a suitable temperature can flow out for showering. However, when using a water heater, there is often a long pipeline between the water heater and the valve that controls the shower. Especially in some centralized water supply usage scenarios and when using solar energy heating, hot water is easily connected to the shower position through pipelines from different floors or even the roof. When these long connecting pipelines are used, the cold water in the pipeline needs to be drained before the hot water can be discharged, resulting in a large amount of water waste and greatly reducing the user experience. At the same time, when taking a bath in winter, a large amount of cold water discharge will make the bathroom temperature lower. In the process of use, after the hot water in the water heater is used up, the cold water will be transported to the shower head through the pipeline. At this time, the user will feel cold and uncomfortable due to the spray of cold water, thereby reducing the use effect and wasting water resources to a certain extent. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned defects or deficiencies in the prior art, the present application aims to provide a wireless controlled pre-drain cold water shower, comprising a water heater, a composite water pipe, a reflux valve, a wireless control module and a water return housing, wherein the water heater is connected to a water return pipe and a water return housing via a water inlet pipe in the composite water pipe, a wireless control module for controlling the opening and closing of a water pump is arranged in the water inlet pipe, the wireless control module opens the reflux valve while turning on the water pump, a water inlet channel, a connecting channel and a water outlet channel are arranged in the water return housing, the water inlet channel is connected to the water outlet channel via a connecting channel arranged thereon, and the water return housing is provided with a water inlet channel, a connecting channel and a water outlet channel, and the water inlet channel is connected to the water outlet channel via a connecting channel arranged thereon.

The wireless controlled pre-drain cold water shower, when using the water heater, turns on the water pump through the wireless control module to transport the water in the water heater to the water inlet pipe, and then the water inlet pipe transports the water to the connecting port connected above the water inlet. If the water transported by the water inlet pipe is cold water at this time, the air bag arranged on the side of the connecting channel is kept contracted by the cold water, so that the cold water entering the connecting port is transported to the return port. At this time, the return pipe connected above the return port transports the cold water back to the water heater, avoiding the need to drain the cold water in the pipeline before discharging the hot water during use, resulting in a large amount of water waste and greatly reducing the user experience. At the same time, when taking a bath in winter, the large amount of cold water discharged will make the bathroom The temperature drops, which can easily cause the user to catch a cold. The water pump is turned on through the wireless control module, and the water pump then transports the water in the water heater to the water inlet pipe, and the water inlet pipe transports the water to the connecting port. If the water transported by the water inlet pipe is hot water at this time, it is fixedly connected with the water inlet cavity through the connecting port, and the hot water entering the connecting port will also enter the water inlet cavity. At this time, the air bag expands due to the heat generated by the hot water, so that the connecting channel moves to the left through the expansion of the air bag and is connected to the water outlet at the bottom of the water outlet pipe.

The wireless control module 5 opens the reflux valve 4 while opening the water pump 2. A water inlet channel 402, a connecting channel 403 and a water outlet channel 404 are arranged in the water return housing 401. The water inlet channel 402 is connected to the water outlet channel 404 through a connecting channel 403 arranged thereon. At this time, if cold water passes through the water inlet pipe 301, When the tube 301 enters the connecting port 7 in the connecting channel 403, the cold water in the connecting port 7 flows back to the water heater 1 through the return pipe 302, and the air bag 10 remains contracted when the cold water flows in. When hot water enters the connecting port 7 in the connecting channel 403 through the water inlet pipe 301, the air bag 10 expands due to the heat and pushes the connecting channel 403 to move to the left. The connecting port 7 in the connecting channel 403 is connected to the water outlet 13. At this time, the hot water enters the water inlet cavity 8 and the connecting port 7 through the water inlet 6, and enters the water outlet 13 and the water outlet pipe 14 through the connecting port 7. A shower head 15 is connected below the water outlet pipe 14, and the shower head 15 sprays hot water.

[0020] A water pump 2 is disposed at the lower part of the water heater 1 , a composite water pipe 3 is disposed at the lower part of the water pump 2 , and a water inlet pipe 301 and a water return pipe 302 are disposed inside the composite water pipe 3 .

[0021] The wireless control module 5 is connected to the water pump 2 by being installed in the reflux valve 4 .
