[0032] It should be understood that the terms such as “having”, “including” and “comprising” used herein do not exclude the existence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.

[0033] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the utility model provides a drinking water device with stepless temperature adjustment and stable flow rate, comprising:

[0037] The heat preservation tank 4 and the instant heater 2 form a circulation loop to provide hot water within a preset temperature range to the instant heater 2 .

[0038] In the above technical solution, the drinking water equipment with stepless temperature adjustment and stable flow rate includes a shell, an instant heater 3 and a thermal insulation tank 4.

Preferably, a filtering structure is provided at the connection between the water inlet pipe 1 and the external water source. One implementation of the filtering structure is to provide a filter at the connection between the water inlet pipe 1 and the external water source. The external water source can be a dynamic water source, such as a faucet, or a static water source, such as a water tank. Preferably, the water outlet pipe 2 can be diverted to multiple water outlets. It should be noted that the more water outlets there are, the greater the demand for hot water when all water outlets are outlet, and the corresponding volume of the thermal insulation tank should be larger.

[0039] In the above technical scheme, the tank body of the insulation tank 4 adopts a stainless steel shell, and the outside of the stainless steel shell is coated with an insulation layer to ensure the insulation effect of the insulation tank 4. One implementation form of the insulation layer is a cloth layer.

The preferred volume of the insulation tank 4 is 2L, which is set based on the amount of water that most people usually take at one time.

If Figure 5As shown, mode three is a mode for discharging 70-100°C water, which executes the following instructions through the control panel: first check the low liquid level disconnection and closure status of the liquid level switch in the insulation tank 4, and discharge water in two situations according to the different opening and closing conditions of the liquid level switch. The first situation is that the low liquid level of the liquid level switch is closed, that is, when there is still water in the insulation tank 4, first open the third direct-acting valve 18, and start to transport the 70°C water in the insulation tank 4 as the water source, then open the first water pump 8 and the second water pump 10 to draw pure water in, and finally the instant heater heats the water to the specified temperature, and then controls the water flow to be released according to the specified water output, until there is no water in the insulation tank 4, close the third direct-acting valve 18, stop pumping water from the insulation tank 4, open the water inlet solenoid valve 16, open the external water inlet pipeline, and continue to transport water as a water source.
