[0002] A gas water heater is a device that uses gas as an energy source to heat water. They are commonly used in homes and commercial places to provide users with a hot water supply. The working principle of a gas water heater is to use the heat generated by the combustion of gas to heat the water. When the user turns on the hot water tap, the gas water heater automatically starts and introduces cold water from the water pipe into the heat exchanger in the water heater. The gas in the heat exchanger burns and the heat generated is transferred to the surrounding water, causing it to heat up. Once the water reaches the set temperature, the gas water heater automatically stops heating and waits for the next use.

[0003] The gas water heaters in the prior art are generally connected to tap water by connecting a heating pipe, and the tap water flows into the inner wall of the heating pipe, and the heating pipe is heated by gas, thereby heating the tap water in the heating pipe. However, since there will be a certain amount of tap water in the output pipe and the heating pipe of the gas water heater in the prior art when not in use, when the gas water heater needs to be used in advance, the tap water in the output pipe and the heating pipe cannot be heated by remote control, and the temperature cannot be monitored after heating, so that the internal tap water is maintained at a certain temperature, resulting in the need to discharge the unheated tap water before using the heated tap water, thereby causing a waste of water resources.

[0026] When the user needs to use the gas water heater in advance, the signal sending end is controlled. When the user sends a signal, the signal receiving module 3 installed in the water heater housing 1 will receive the signal sent by the user, and the signal receiving module 3 is electrically connected to the communication module 5. At this time, the communication module 5 will analyze and process the signal received by the signal receiving module 3. The communication module 5 is electrically connected to the controller 4. At this time, the controller 4 will control the water pump 12 to start, and the second solenoid valve 14 is in a closed state, thereby preventing unheated water from flowing into the heating water pipe 2.

[0027] Embodiment 2

[0028] Based on the above Example 1, please refer to Figure 4-Figure 5 The control component includes a water pump 12 , a connecting pipe 13 is installed on one side surface of the water pump 12 , a second solenoid valve 14 is installed on the outer surface of the heating water pipe 2 , and the water pump 12 is installed on the outer surface of the annular pipe 10 .

[0029] The water pump 12 and the controller 4 are electrically connected, the second solenoid valve 14 and the controller 4 are electrically connected, the connecting pipe 13 and the output end of the water pump 12 are connected to each other, the connecting pipe 13 and the heating water pipe 2, and the input end of the water pump 12 and the annular pipe 10 are connected to each other.

[0030] The tap water input into the heating water pipe 2 will move along the heating water pipe 2, and the tap water in the heating water pipe 2 will be heated by the heating module. When the tap water is heated on the inner wall of the heating water pipe 2, due to the continuous operation of the water pump 12, the heated tap water in the heating water pipe 2 will be discharged into the discharge pipe 6, thereby realizing the circulation and heating of the unheated tap water in the discharge pipe 6.

[0031] The working principle and use process of the utility model are as follows: when the user needs to use the gas water heater in advance, the signal sending end is controlled, and when the user sends a signal, the signal receiving module 3 installed in the water heater housing 1 will receive the signal sent by the user, and the signal receiving module 3 is electrically connected to the communication module 5. At this time, the communication module 5 will analyze and process the signal received by the signal receiving module 3, and the communication module 5 is electrically connected to the controller 4. At this time, the controller 4 will control the water pump 12 to start, and the second solenoid valve 14 is in a closed state at this time, thereby preventing unheated water from flowing into the heating water pipe 2. When the water pump 12 is started, the water inside the annular tube 10 connected to its output end will be pumped, and the annular tube 10 is connected to the discharge pipe 6 through the T-tube 8 and the circulation pipe 7, so when the water pump 12 is started, The unheated tap water in the discharge pipe 6 is pumped and input into the heating water pipe 2 through the connecting pipe 13 installed at the output end of the water pump 12. At this time, the tap water input into the heating water pipe 2 will move along the heating water pipe 2, and the tap water in the heating water pipe 2 will be heated by the heating module. When the tap water is heated on the inner wall of the heating water pipe 2, the heated tap water in the heating water pipe 2 will be discharged into the discharge pipe 6 due to the continuous operation of the water pump 12, thereby realizing the circulation and heating of the unheated tap water in the discharge pipe 6.
