Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of solar stand-alone machines, and specifically relates to a solar stand-alone water heating module. Background Art

[0002] Solar water heater module is a device that uses solar radiation energy as heat source and converts absorbed solar energy into heat energy to heat water. It includes solar thermal collector, heat storage device, circulation pipeline device, etc. Since solar water heater module is greatly affected by weather in its operation throughout the year, its independent application is intermittent, unstable and has regional differences. In addition to using collector to convert solar energy into heat energy, hot water guarantee system (auxiliary heating system) and heat storage measures should be adopted to ensure that solar water heater module can supply hot water stably around the clock. The characteristics of household solar water heater are that users can install and use them independently, and solar water heater modules are relatively simple and do not interfere with each other.

[0003] However, existing solar water heating modules are usually not provided with a hot water reflux unit, so that hot water still remains in the water supply pipe after the hot water supply is stopped, which means that the next time hot water is used, it is necessary to wait until the residual water in the water pipe flows out. This not only wastes resources, but also may cause the residual water to freeze in the pipe in cold weather, affecting the hot water supply.

[0004] In view of this, the present utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0011] A water supply pipe for cold water to enter is arranged on the top of the insulated water tank, and a second water inlet for hot water to return is also arranged on the insulated water tank. The return assembly includes a return pipe and a return pump. One end of the return pipe is connected to the end of the water supply pipe away from the second water outlet, and the end of the return pipe away from the water supply pipe is connected to the inlet end of the return pump, and the outlet end of the return pump is connected to the second water inlet; a balance pipe is also arranged on the end of the water supply pipe close to the second water outlet, and the water supply pipe and the water supply pipe are located at the second water outlet, and the balance pipe and the end of the return pipe close to the return pump are all provided with electromagnetic control valves, and the electromagnetic control valves are all connected to the controller electrical signal;

[0012] The solar energy stand-alone main body and the heat preservation water tank as well as the temperature sensor and the water level monitoring unit on the heat preservation water tank are all connected with the controller by electrical signals.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] Through the set reflux component, when no end user uses hot water, the controller controls the solenoid valve on the water supply pipe to close, and the solenoid valves on the balancing pipe and the return pipe to open, and at the same time controls the return pump to start, so that the residual hot water in the water supply pipe flows back to the insulated water tank, so that users do not need to wait for the residual water to flow out when using hot water, which reduces the waste of water resources and avoids the freezing of residual hot water in the water supply pipe in cold weather and causing blockage of the water pipe; the setting of the balancing pipe avoids the generation of negative pressure in the pipe when hot water flows back.
