[0045] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present application provides a water tank and a water heater, wherein the water tank can disinfect and sterilize the domestic water inside to provide healthy water for users.

[0046] Figure 1 A schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of a water heater provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown; Figure 2 Show Figure 1 A local enlarged structural schematic diagram; Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of a water heater provided in an embodiment of the present application after the head is removed is shown; Figure 4 Show Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a top view structure; Figure 5 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a planar structure of an exhaust valve provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 6 A schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of an exhaust valve provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown; Figure 7 A schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of another water heater provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0047] like Figure 1-7 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a water tank, including a tank body 1, an ozone component 2, an air pump 3 and an air distribution pipe 4.

[0048] The box body 1 has a cavity 11 and a water inlet and a water outlet connected to the cavity 11; specifically, the box body 1 is a pressure-bearing water tank, and tap water enters the box body 1 through the water inlet and is heated to a set temperature, and is discharged through the water outlet for use by users.

[0049] The ozone component 2 has an outlet for outputting ozone; specifically, the ozone component 2 can be an ozone storage tank, which is filled with ozone gas and delivers ozone to the air pump 3 through the outlet. The ozone component 2 can also be an ozone generator 21, which delivers the prepared ozone to the air pump 3 through the outlet.

[0050] The air pump 3 is communicated with the ozone assembly 2;

[0051] The output end of the air distribution pipe 4 extends into the cavity 11;

[0052] The air pump 3 is used to drive the ozone output from the air outlet to enter the cavity 11 through the air distribution pipe 4.

[0053] In the present application, the ozone output by the ozone component 2 is pumped into the cavity 11 through the air distribution pipe 4 by the air pump 3, and the water in the cavity 11 is disinfected and sterilized by ozone, so that the internal domestic water can be disinfected and sterilized to provide healthy water for users.

[0054] In the related technology, the current water heater needs to adopt a pressurized water tank due to the influence of heating capacity. The water inside the water tank is in a relatively closed environment for a long time, which is easy to breed bacteria, thereby polluting the water quality and affecting the health of water use.

[0055] Ozone is a widely recognized broad-spectrum and highly effective bactericidal disinfectant. It uses air or oxygen as raw materials and uses high-frequency and high-voltage discharge to generate ozone. Ozone has one more active oxygen atom than oxygen molecules. Its chemical properties are particularly active. It is a strong oxidant. It can quickly kill bacteria at a certain concentration without any toxic residues and will not form secondary pollution. It is known as the "cleanest oxidant and disinfectant". Studies have shown that ozone-rich water has the following effects: 1. Improve water quality, remove heavy metals such as manganese, iron, and chromium in water, and eliminate odors to make the water clean and hygienic. 2. Purify water and dissolve various compounds. Remove odors and make the water clean and refreshing. 3. Boil drinking water treated with active oxygen and make tea, and the tea will be more mellow. 4. Clean fish, meat, and vegetables to remove fishy smells, remove fertilizer additives, increase the shelf life of vegetables, and take them with peace of mind. 5. It can remove excessive fertilizers, pesticides, and heavy metals in rice, making white rice refreshing and easy to digest. 6. Using ozone water to clean clothes can be bleaching and there is no secondary pollution.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the disinfection and sterilization ability of ozone is utilized, and ozone is delivered to the cavity 11 of the housing 1 through the air pump 3, and the water in the cavity 11 is disinfected and sterilized by ozone, so that healthy, safe and non-toxic domestic hot water can be continuously provided to users, thereby improving the user experience. Moreover, ozone can also be decomposed into oxygen in water, so that oxygen-rich domestic water is formed in the water.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, the input end of the air pump 3 is connected to the air outlet of the ozone component 2, and the output end of the air pump 3 is connected to the air distribution pipe 4, which is used to transport the ozone output by the ozone component 2 into the cavity 11 through the air distribution pipe 4; optionally, the output end of the air pump 3 can also be connected to the air inlet of the ozone component 2, and the air outlet of the ozone component 2 is connected to the air distribution pipe 4, which is used to transport the ozone output by the ozone component 2 into the cavity 11 through the air distribution pipe 4.

[0058] like Figure 1 and 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the air distribution pipe 4 includes an extension section 41 and an air distribution section 42 connected to the extension section 41 . The air distribution section 42 is located in the lower area of ​​the cavity 11 , and air distribution holes 421 are provided on the air distribution section 42 .

[0059] In the present application, since the box body 1 has a certain depth, the air distribution section 42 is extended to the lower area of ​​the cavity 11 through the extension section 41 of the air distribution pipe 4. The ozone is discharged through the air distribution hole 421 and then rises in the cavity 11. During the rising process, it fully contacts with the water, thereby completing the disinfection and sterilization of the water, thereby ensuring the adequacy of the sterilization of the water in the cavity 11.

[0060] Specifically, the air distribution section 42 is located above the water inlet pipe 12. After the tap water enters the box body 1 through the water inlet pipe 12, it flows toward the water outlet pipe 13. The air distribution section 42 is located above the water inlet pipe 12, and the water flowing through it can be disinfected and sterilized.

[0061] In some embodiments, the extension section 41 extends in a vertical direction, and the air distribution section 42 extends in a horizontal direction.

[0062] Specifically, the air pump 3 is arranged at the top of the box body 1, and the extension section 41 extends in the vertical direction. One end of the extension section 41 is connected to the output end of the air pump 3, and the other end extends to the lower half of the box body 1 and is connected to the air distribution section 42. Ozone can be introduced into the box body 1 more directly, the air distribution section 42 is arranged in the horizontal direction, the air distribution holes 421 are arranged in the horizontal direction, and the air distribution holes 421 are arranged in two rows, and the two rows of air distribution holes 421 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the air distribution section 42. The two rows of air distribution holes 421 transport ozone to the front and rear sides respectively, and the transported ozone floats upward in the box body 1, which can effectively increase the contact between ozone and water, and further ensure the disinfection and sterilization effect of ozone on water.

[0063] In some embodiments, the ozone assembly 2 includes an ozone generator 21 , an output end of the ozone generator 21 is provided with an air outlet, and an input end of the ozone generator 21 is provided with an air inlet pipe 22 .

[0064] In the present application, air enters the ozone generator 21 through the air inlet pipe 22, and ozone is prepared by the ozone generator 21. The prepared ozone is transported to the box 1 by the air pump 3, ensuring that a continuous supply of ozone can be provided to the box 1 for user convenience.

[0065] Specifically, since disinfection and sterilization are intermittent operations, they only need to be performed once at regular intervals. When disinfection and sterilization is performed or in the early stage, the ozone generator 21 is started to prepare ozone, and then the ozone is transported into the box 1 through the air pump 3.

[0066] The frequency of disinfection and sterilization can be set by a program, and the frequency of disinfection and sterilization can be set on the water heater. Alternatively, a detection component is provided inside the box 1, and the detection component is used to detect the water quality in the box 1. When the impurities in the water quality reach a preset value, the ozone generator 21 is turned on to prepare ozone to sterilize the water in the box 1.

[0067] Specifically, the ozone generator 21 is connected to the air pump 3 through the first connecting pipe 24, and the ozone generated by the ozone generator 21 enters the air pump 3 through the first connecting pipe, and is pumped into the box 1 by the air pump 3 through the air distribution pipe 4. A first one-way valve 25 pointing to the air pump 3 is provided on the first connecting pipe to prevent the gas in the box 1 from flowing back through the air distribution pipe 4.

[0068] Optionally, the ozone generator 21 can also be set behind the air pump 3, and the gas is pumped into the ozone generator 21 by the air pump 3, and ozone is generated in the ozone generator 21. The ozone enters the box body 1 through the air distribution pipe 4, and the water in the water tank can also be disinfected and sterilized.

[0069] In some embodiments, the ozone assembly 2 further includes a filter 23 disposed on the air inlet pipe 22 .

[0070] In the present application, the air pump 3 is driven by the controller to operate, and the air is drawn into the air intake pipe 22 and enters the filter 23. The filter is designed with a filter screen and an air filter element. The filter screen filters out suspended particles (PM2.5) in the air, and the air filter element can effectively remove odors, bacteria, and impurities in the air, and further filter out air pollutants (generally including decoration pollution such as dust, pollen, odor, formaldehyde, bacteria, allergens, etc.); after being filtered by the filter 23, the clean air is driven by the air pump 3 to enter the ozone generator 21. The ozone generator 21 is designed with an air duct inside, and conductive wires are respectively designed vertically above and below the air flow direction of the air duct. The conductive wires are divided into positive and negative electrodes. The positive and negative electrodes are respectively connected to an external power driver. The power driver generates high voltage ionization and passes through the two electrodes to generate ozone through oxygen in the air. A butt joint is designed on the filter 23 and the ozone generator 21. The groove on the joint is sealed with an O-ring, and the filter 23 and the ozone generator are butt-connected through the joint. It can prevent impurities in the external air from being introduced into the housing 1, further ensuring the health and safety of the water quality.

[0071] In some embodiments, the water tank further includes an exhaust assembly 5 disposed on the tank body 1 , and the exhaust assembly 5 is connected to the top of the tank body 1 .

[0072] In the present application, since the air pump 3 continuously fills the box body 1 with gas during disinfection and sterilization, the box body 1 can be exhausted through the exhaust assembly 5 at the top to prevent the internal pressure of the box body 1 from gradually increasing and causing deformation and failure, thereby ensuring the service life of the water tank.

[0073] In some embodiments, the exhaust assembly 5 includes: an exhaust pipe 51 disposed on the housing 1 , the bottom end of the exhaust pipe 51 being connected to the cavity 11 ; and an exhaust valve 52 being connected to the top end of the exhaust pipe 51 .

[0074] In the present application, the bottom of the exhaust pipe 51 extends into the cavity 11 and is located at the top of the cavity 11 . The gas in the cavity 11 can enter the exhaust valve 52 through the exhaust pipe 51 and then be discharged through the exhaust valve 52 .

[0075] In some embodiments, the housing 1 further includes a water outlet pipe 13 connected to the water outlet, the water outlet pipe 13 has a water inlet 131 located in the cavity 11 , and the height of the water inlet 131 is lower than the height of the bottom end of the exhaust pipe 51 .

[0076] In the present application, the water in the box 1 enters the water outlet pipe 13 through the water inlet 131, and then is discharged through the water outlet pipe 13 for use by the user. By setting the height of the water inlet 131 to be lower than the height of the bottom end of the exhaust pipe 51, it is ensured that the water in the box 1 can be kept above the water inlet 131, thereby ensuring normal water use, and the normal use of water will not be affected by disinfection and sterilization. At the same time, effective exhaust can be performed during disinfection and sterilization.

[0077] Specifically, the height difference between the bottom end of the exhaust pipe 51 and the water inlet 131 is H, where H satisfies the following relationship: 0 mm ≤ H ≤ 5 mm.

[0078] like Figure 5-6 As shown, in some embodiments, the box body 1 also includes a water inlet pipe connected to the water inlet, and the exhaust valve 52 includes: a valve body 521, having a valve cavity; an exhaust member 522, arranged on the valve body 521, and having an exhaust hole 5221 connected to the valve cavity; a pull rod 523, connected to the exhaust member 522 through an elastic member 525, the pull rod 523 having a sealing portion 5231 for sealing the exhaust hole 5221 and a driving portion 5232 away from the sealing portion 5231; and a float 524, arranged in the valve cavity, the float 524 is connected to the driving portion 5232 of the pull rod 523; a safety valve 6 is provided on the water inlet pipe 12, which is used to drain water when the pressure in the cavity 11 reaches a threshold value.

[0079] In the present application, water in the box body 1 enters the valve cavity through the exhaust pipe 51 and makes the float 524 float. After the float 524 floats, the sealing portion 5231 of the pull rod 523 keeps in contact with the exhaust hole 5221 of the exhaust member 522, thereby closing the exhaust hole 5221; when the liquid level in the box body 1 drops, the float 524 will also drop and drive the pull rod 523 not to move downward, so that the elastic member 525 connecting the pull rod 523 and the exhaust member 522 is bent and deformed, and the sealing portion 5231 releases the closure of the exhaust hole 5221, so that exhaust can be carried out through the exhaust hole 5221.

[0080] Specifically, during disinfection and sterilization, ozone is introduced into the box 1, and the gas climbs up in the box 1 and rises along the pipeline, and finally gathers at the highest point of the system, that is, gathers inside the valve cavity of the exhaust valve 52. As the gas in the valve cavity increases, the pressure in the box 1 rises. When the threshold is reached, the pressure is released through the safety valve 6, so that the liquid level in the box 1 drops. After the liquid level drops, the height of the float 524 will also drop, and the float 524 drives the driving part 5232 of the pull rod 523 to move downward, so that the sealing part 5231 of the pull rod 523 is separated from the exhaust part 522, and the exhaust is discharged through the exhaust hole 5221. As the gas is discharged, the pressure in the box 1 decreases, the safety valve 6 is closed, and the water inlet pipe 12 automatically replenishes water to restore the float 524 to its original height, and the sealing part 5231 of the pull rod 523 closes the exhaust part 522 of the exhaust part 522 again.

[0081] Specifically, the exhaust valve 52 is connected to the second connecting pipe 53, the second connecting pipe 53 is connected to the exhaust hole 5221 of the exhaust component 522, the gas is discharged through the exhaust hole 5221 and the second connecting pipe 53, and a second one-way valve 54 is arranged on the second connecting pipe 53, which can prevent the external gas from entering the interior of the box body 1 through the exhaust component 5 when the internal air pressure of the water tank is lower than the external atmospheric pressure.

[0082] During the first use, the water inlet pipe 12 is connected to tap water, and the tap water has a pressure of 0.3Mpa-0.5Mpa. After the water enters the box body 1, it gradually rises in the box body 1. At this time, the float 524 does not touch the water, so the exhaust hole 5221 is in an open state, and water can be added while exhausting through the exhaust hole 5221. When the water level in the water tank rises to the same level as the bottom of the exhaust pipe 51, water begins to enter the valve cavity through the exhaust pipe 51, and the water lifts the float 524 in the valve cavity. After the float 524 rises, the sealing part 5231 of the pull rod 523 seals the exhaust hole 5221. At this time, exhaust is no longer performed, and the water inlet 131 no longer enters the water. The water tank is in a balanced state. When the water outlet pipe 13 drains water, the water inlet pipe 12 replenishes the same amount of water.

[0083] The water tank uses an air pump 3 to pump the ozone output by the ozone component 2 into the cavity 11 through the air distribution pipe 4, and the water in the cavity 11 is disinfected and sterilized by ozone, so that the domestic water inside can be disinfected and sterilized to provide healthy water for users.

[0084] An embodiment of the present application provides a water heater, comprising: a shell 7 ; and a water tank as described above, the water tank being disposed in the shell 7 .

[0085] In the present application, the water tank is installed in the shell 7, so that the water tank body 1, ozone component 2, air pump 3, etc. are encapsulated in the shell 7, ensuring the neatness of the appearance of the water heater, facilitating transportation and installation, and improving the overall aesthetics.

[0086] like Figure 3 As shown, specifically, the shell 7 includes a main shell, a head cover arranged on the top of the main shell and a bottom cover arranged on the bottom of the main shell, wherein the ozone component 2, the air pump 3 and the exhaust component 5 are fixedly installed on the top of the main shell and located in the head cover to ensure the stability of the installation of the ozone component 2, the air pump 3 and the exhaust component 5.

[0087] In some embodiments, the water heater also includes a heating component 8, which is used to heat the water in the cavity 11; a microchannel heat exchanger 9 is provided on the box body 1, or a circulating water circuit component 10 is provided on the box body 1, and the circulating water circuit component 10 is used to drive the water in the cavity 11 to circulate.

[0088] Specifically, the heating component 8 can be an electronic anode and / or a magnesium rod. The heating component 8 heats the water in the box 1. A temperature sensing package 14 is also provided in the box 1. The temperature sensing package 14 is used to detect the water temperature in the box 1. There are multiple temperature sensing packages 14, which are located at different heights. Through multi-point sampling and temperature measurement, the temperature difference of the water in the box is obtained, and then the water temperature in the box 1 is made uniform through the microchannel heat exchanger 9 or the circulating water circuit component 10.

[0089] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the heater adopts a static heating water tank, and the heating component 8 heats the water in the tank 1 to the required temperature, and the water in the tank 1 is heat-exchanged through the microchannel heat exchanger 9, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the water temperature in the entire tank 1.

[0090] like Figure 7 As shown, in another embodiment, the heater adopts a circulating heating water tank, and the heating component 8 heats the water in the tank 1 to the required temperature. At the same time, the circulating water circuit component 10 drives the water in the tank 1 to circulate, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the water temperature in the tank 1.

[0091] Specifically, the circulating water circuit assembly 10 includes a circulating pipeline and a micro-water pump arranged on the circulating pipeline. The circulating pipeline has an inlet and an outlet connected to the box body 1. The inlet and the outlet are located at different heights. The water in the box body 1 is pumped out from the outlet through the micro-water pump and pumped back into the box body 1 through the inlet, thereby realizing the circulation of water in the box body 1.
