Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water heater temperature control, in particular to a self-generating water temperature display meter. Background Art

[0002] A storage-type electric water heater is a household or commercial device used to heat and provide hot water. Currently, existing water heaters have a set heating temperature. The water in the tank is heated to the set temperature via a heating tube and displayed on a display. When a user needs hot water, such as for a shower, the hot water in the water heater must be mixed with cold water via a mixing valve. However, the user cannot clearly determine the temperature of the mixed water and can only sense the water temperature by touch, then adjust the mixing valve to the appropriate temperature. Users often get burned when testing the water temperature with their hands, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0003] In view of this, it is necessary to improve the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a self-generating water temperature display meter, which aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art. To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted is as follows:

[0005] A self-generating water temperature display meter includes a valve body, a water flow generator set installed inside the valve body, a control board installed outside the valve body, the water flow generator set is electrically connected to the control board for supplying power to the control board, a temperature sensor and a display screen are arranged on the control board, a temperature sensor probe extends into the valve body for detecting the temperature of the water flow in the valve body and displaying it on the display screen.

[0006] Preferably, the water flow generator set includes a generator, a transmission shaft and a water wheel. The water wheel rotates under the thrust of the water flow in the valve body and transmits the rotational force to the generator through the transmission shaft so that the generator generates electricity.

[0007] Preferably, the generator is fixedly installed in the valve body via a bracket.

[0008] Preferably, the valve body is tubular.

[0009] Preferably, the water inlet end and the water outlet end of the valve body are respectively provided with quick connectors.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] This utility model provides a self-generating water temperature display meter with a built-in water flow generator, which can convert mechanical energy into electrical energy to power the control panel. After receiving power, the temperature sensor detects the water flow temperature in real time and displays it on the display screen. Users do not need to touch the water temperature with their hands, effectively preventing burns and improving the user experience. In addition, the water temperature display meter has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, high practicality, and good performance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connected," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they may refer to mechanical connections; they may refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a self-generating water temperature display meter, comprising a valve body 1, the valve body 1 is a tubular structure, and the water inlet end and the water outlet end of the valve body 1 are respectively provided with quick connectors.

[0019] A water flow generator set is installed in the valve body 1, which includes a generator 2, a transmission shaft 3 and a water wheel 4. The generator 2 is fixedly installed in the valve body 1 through a bracket, and the transmission shaft 3 is arranged along the axial direction of the valve body 1. The water wheel 4 is fixedly installed on the transmission shaft 3. The water wheel 4 rotates under the thrust of the water flow in the valve body 1 and transmits the rotational force to the generator 2 through the transmission shaft 3. The generator 2 can convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.

[0020] A control board 5 is mounted outside the valve body 2. The output of the generator 2 is electrically connected to the control board 5 via a wire, supplying power to the control board 5. A temperature sensor 6 and a display screen 7 are also mounted on the control board 5. Both are powered by the control board 5.

[0021] The self-generating water temperature display is installed at the outlet of a mixing valve. When the user opens the mixing valve, water flows through valve body 1, driving the water flow generator set to generate electricity. At this point, control board 5 is powered, and temperature sensor 6 can detect the temperature of the water flowing through valve body 1 in real time and display it on display screen 7. Users no longer need to physically feel the water temperature; they can observe it in real time through display screen 7, effectively preventing burns and improving the user experience.
