Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas appliance combustion, in particular to a gas water heater which can prevent gas leakage. Background Art
[0002] The gas circuit connection of the gas water heater is connected by screws through a sealing ring at the connection between the gas distribution rod and the gas proportional valve. During transportation, due to vibration and other reasons, there is a possibility of loosening or breakage of the gas distribution rod. When the gas water heater is installed, there is a risk of gas leakage and fire. After a long period of use, the sealing ring may fail and leak. Although some gas water heaters have added gas leakage alarm devices, the sensitivity of the gas leakage alarm device will gradually decrease as the use time increases until it fails. There is a problem of service life defects. If a gas leak occurs after failure, it is impossible to perform gas alarms, cut-offs, etc., and it cannot prevent gas leaks. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model aims to provide a gas water heater which is resistant to gas leakage. A bracket for installing a first thermostat is provided above a gas proportional valve or on an outer side of a gas delivery track. When gas leakage generates an open flame and heats the bracket, the heat of the bracket is transferred to the first thermostat. When the first thermostat detects that the temperature of the bracket reaches a first disconnection temperature value, the first thermostat disconnects, and a controller closes the gas proportional valve to automatically cut off the delivery of gas to the combustion chamber, thereby solving the technical problem that the gas water heater catches fire due to gas pipeline leakage and the inability to cut off the gas source. The utility model also solves the technical problem that when the service life of the gas alarm is not equal to that of the gas water heater, the sensitivity of the alarm is reduced, and the alarm protection effect cannot be achieved.
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is achieved in this way:
[0005] A gas water heater that prevents gas leakage, including a gas proportional valve for turning on and off gas supply to a burner and electrically connected to a controller, and also including a bracket for installing a first thermostat; the controller is electrically connected to the first thermostat; when the gas proportional valve is in an open state, gas leaks during the supply process and generates an open flame to heat the bracket, the first thermostat detects that the temperature of the bracket reaches a first disconnection temperature value and feeds back to the controller, the first thermostat disconnects, the controller closes the gas proportional valve, disconnects the gas supply to the burner, and prevents the gas from continuing to leak.
[0006] The gas water heater also includes a heat exchanger connected to the water inlet pipe. The heat exchanger is provided with a second thermostat electrically connected to the controller. The second thermostat detects that the temperature of the heat exchanger reaches a second disconnection temperature value and feeds back to the controller, and the second thermostat disconnects.
[0007] The first thermostat, the second thermostat, the controller and the gas proportional valve are electrically connected in series in sequence.
[0008] The bracket is arranged above the gas proportional valve and / or the bracket is arranged on an outer side of the gas delivery track.
[0009] A gas dividing rod is arranged between the burner and the gas proportional valve, one end of the gas dividing rod is connected to the gas output port of the gas proportional valve, and the other end of the gas dividing rod is connected to the gas input port of the burner.
[0010] The bracket comprises a supporting arm, the supporting arm is located above the gas proportional valve, and the first thermostat is fixed on the supporting arm; the supporting arm is fixed on the inner cavity of the gas water heater.
[0011] The part of the support arm that fixes the first thermostat is extended laterally toward the gas proportional valve to increase the heating area of the bracket during gas leakage. When gas leakage occurs, the first thermostat can quickly detect the heating temperature of the bracket and cut off the gas source in time to prevent excessive gas leakage.
[0012] The bracket also includes a fixed arm connected to the supporting arm, and the fixed arm is fixed on the inner cavity of the gas water heater. The fixed arm plays a role of strengthening support, and the fixed arm also plays a role of heat conduction.
[0013] The controller is fixed on the inner cavity of the gas water heater, and the first temperature controller is electrically connected to the controller via a wire.
[0014] The gas water heater also includes a fan and a heat exchanger arranged on the inner cavity of the gas water heater. The air intake of the fan is located above the heat exchanger. The gas water heater body is provided with a smoke exhaust duct, and the air outlet of the fan is connected to the smoke exhaust duct.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
[0016] By providing a bracket for installing the first thermostat above the gas proportional valve or on an outer side of the gas delivery track, when the gas leakage produces an open flame and heats the bracket, the heat of the bracket is transferred to the first thermostat. When the first thermostat detects that the temperature of the bracket reaches the first disconnection temperature value, the first thermostat disconnects, and the controller closes the gas proportional valve to automatically cut off the delivery of gas to the combustion chamber. This solves the technical problem that the gas pipeline of the gas water heater leaks and the gas source cannot be cut off, resulting in a fire in the gas water heater. It also solves the technical problem that when the service life of the gas alarm is not equal to that of the gas water heater, the sensitivity of the alarm will be reduced and the alarm protection effect will not be achieved. By detecting gas leakage through the first thermostat and the bracket, it is possible to simply and efficiently prevent the gas water heater from leaking and causing hidden dangers such as fire, and make up for the lack of inequality between the life of the gas alarm device and the life of the gas water heater.
