[0002] Home showers are an indispensable part of modern family bathrooms. With its excellent practicality and comfort, it adds infinite convenience and pleasure to people's bathing experience. The existing home showers are exquisitely designed and stylish in appearance, and can be perfectly integrated into bathroom spaces of various styles. They are made of high-quality materials to ensure durability and good corrosion resistance, and can maintain long-term beauty and performance even in a humid bathroom environment. In terms of function, they have a variety of water modes, which can be easily switched according to personal preferences and needs. Whether it is a gentle rain mode or a strong massage mode, you can enjoy a comfortable water flow touch during the bathing process.

[0003] Before enjoying a comfortable bath, household showers often face a common problem: most of the hot water will stay in the hot water pipe for a long time before reaching the shower. As time goes by, this part of the water gradually cools down due to the lack of continuous heating; therefore, when consumers are ready to turn on the shower, they will first encounter a period of "cold water period" with a lower temperature, which not only reduces the initial comfort of bathing, but also affects the overall bathing experience; in order to avoid such a phenomenon, many consumers have to choose to discharge the cold water until the water temperature gradually returns to the ideal state; however, this practice is undoubtedly a huge waste of water resources, especially at a time when water and energy conservation are increasingly advocated, this practice is particularly inappropriate; this not only increases water bills, but also creates unnecessary burdens on the environment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 The utility model is further described in detail:

[0020] The utility model discloses a zero cold water shower device with terminal heat storage, such as Figure 1 As shown, a zero cold water shower device with terminal heat storage includes a control body 1, a digital display device 11, a temperature control regulating valve 12, a shower assembly 2, a hot water pipe 3, and a cold water pipe 4. The shower assembly 2 is arranged on the top of the control body 1; the control body 1 is provided with a temperature control regulating valve 12 for controlling the temperature distribution of cold water, and a digital display device 11 for displaying information; the cold water inlet at the bottom of the control body 1 is externally connected to the cold water pipe 4, and the hot water inlet at the bottom of the control body 1 is externally connected to one end of the upper water pipe 5; the other end of the upper water pipe 5 is connected to a constant temperature water storage device; the constant temperature water storage device is externally connected to a hot water pipe 3 connected to an external water heater; in this embodiment, since most of the water in the household shower of the prior art will remain in the hot water pipe 3 before bathing, the water in the hot water pipe 3 has been After a long period of cooling, this part of cold water needs to be discharged in advance before taking a bath, which brings a bad bathing experience to people. Some consumers will choose to drain the water until the water temperature becomes hot, but this will inevitably cause a waste of water resources. Therefore, in this embodiment, a constant temperature water storage device is used and installed between the control body 1 of the shower and the hot water pipe 3. The interior of the constant temperature water storage device will always store a part of hot water and heat the water at a constant temperature. When the shower is turned on, the cold water in the hot water pipe 3 enters the constant temperature water storage device. A certain amount of hot water is stored in the constant temperature water storage device. Therefore, before the cold water in the hot water pipe 3 reaches the constant temperature water storage device, the hot water in the constant temperature water storage device is first used to mix with the cold water in the cold water pipe 4 through the temperature control regulating valve 12 to reach the required temperature of warm water, so as to ensure that there is warm water of suitable temperature available when the shower is turned on;

[0021] like Figure 2 , 3As shown, the constant temperature water storage device includes a shell 6, and an inner tank layer 62 for storing pre-water is fixedly installed inside the shell 6; one end of the hot water pipe 3 and the upper water pipe 5 are both arranged inside the inner tank layer 62; a mounting hole is opened at the top of the shell 6; a heater 63 for heating the water stored in the inner tank layer 62 is installed inside the mounting hole; in this embodiment, the inner tank layer 62 can be made of stainless steel, and the water discharged from the hot water pipe 3 flows into the inner tank layer 62 and is discharged from the upper water pipe 5 after being full, and one end of the upper water pipe 5 arranged in the inner tank layer 62 is arranged at the bottom of the inner tank layer 62, and one end of the hot water pipe 3 arranged inside the inner tank layer 62 is arranged at the top of the inner tank layer 62; in this embodiment, a sealing ring is arranged between the heater 63 and the shell 6, which is not shown in the figure, to prevent water leakage in the inner tank layer 62;

[0022] like Figure 4 As shown, a heat insulating layer 61 is provided between the inner liner layer 62 and the outer shell 6; the heat insulating layer 61 not only prevents the outer shell 6 from being overheated, but also has a heat preservation effect, prevents the heat from being dissipated too quickly, and reduces the power consumption;

[0023] The heat insulation layer 61 is made of polyurethane foam; polyurethane foam is an excellent heat insulation material with excellent heat preservation and waterproof properties. The thermal conductivity of this material is low, only 0.02-0.035 W·m·K, which means that it can effectively reduce the loss of heat energy. In addition to the good heat preservation effect, polyurethane foam also has good waterproof properties, making it an ideal choice for roof insulation;

[0024] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown, a temperature measuring module 64 is provided inside the inner pot; a temperature display module 65 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the outer shell 6; the temperature display module 65 is electrically connected to the temperature measuring module 64; in this embodiment, the temperature measuring module 64 can monitor the temperature of the water stored inside the inner pot layer 62 in real time, and display it through the temperature display module 65, so that consumers can adjust the temperature heated by the heater 63;

[0025] A temperature control component is installed between the heater 63 and the external power supply. In this embodiment, the external temperature control component of the heater 63 can control the power change of the heater 63 and control the temperature of the heating water in the inner tank layer 62.

[0026] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the utility model is:

[0027] When the utility model is in use, the interior of the constant temperature water storage device is installed between the control body 1 of the shower and the hot water pipe 3. A part of water will be stored in the interior of the constant temperature water storage device, and the water will be heated at a constant temperature. When the shower is turned on, the cold water in the hot water pipe 3 enters the inner tank layer 62. The inner tank layer 62 stores a certain amount of hot water that is continuously heated by the heater 63. Therefore, before the cold water in the hot water pipe 3 reaches the inner tank layer 62, the hot water in the inner tank layer 62 is used first, and is mixed with the cold water in the cold water pipe 4 through the temperature control regulating valve 12 to reach the required temperature of warm water, thereby ensuring that warm water of suitable temperature is available when the shower is turned on.
