Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water heaters, in particular to an anti-misinstallation water heater. Background Art

[0002] As the demand for hot water in modern households continues to increase, electric water heaters, as an important household appliance, have been widely used in the market. However, existing electric water heaters have strict directional requirements when installed. For example, horizontal electric water heaters must be installed horizontally, while vertical electric water heaters must be installed vertically. Such installation requirements not only involve the normal operation of the water heater, but are also directly related to its safety and service life.

[0003] Although manufacturers usually list installation requirements in detail in product manuals, many users lack professional installation knowledge and experience, so errors are prone to occur during the actual installation process. For example, some installers may mistakenly install a horizontal water heater vertically or a vertical water heater horizontally. Such incorrect installation methods will not only affect the performance of the water heater, but may also cause the equipment to dry out. Dry out refers to an overheating state caused by a lack of moisture in the water heater, which can easily lead to damage to the electric heating element and even cause safety accidents. In severe cases, it may cause serious consequences such as fire or explosion.

[0004] In addition, in some building environments, space constraints may make installers more inclined to try non-compliant installation methods to meet space utilization needs. This situation further increases the risk of incorrect installation, causing users to frequently encounter failures during use, affecting the user experience and the normal operation of the equipment.

[0005] In summary, the existing technology has certain limitations and potential safety hazards in terms of the installation direction of the electric water heater. Therefore, it is necessary to further improve and perfect the existing technology to overcome these shortcomings, and the present utility model is made based on this situation. Utility Model Content

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] The specific implementation of the utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

[0016] Figure 1 It is a circuit diagram of the utility model;

[0017] Figure 2 It is a control process schematic diagram of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0019] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the utility model relates to a water heater with an error-proofing design, which is mainly constructed as a water heater body. An electric heater 1 is arranged inside the water heater body. The electric heater 1 is one of the core components of the device and is responsible for converting electrical energy into thermal energy, thereby heating the water body to meet the user's hot water needs. The electric heater 1 is preferably an electric heating tube.

[0020] The electric heater 1 is connected to a thermostat 2, usually in series. The function of the thermostat 2 is to monitor the water temperature in real time and automatically adjust the working state of the electric heater according to the set temperature to ensure that the water temperature is always within the range required by the user. Normally, the thermostat 2 is turned on. When the water temperature is detected to be too high, the thermostat 2 will automatically disconnect; when the water temperature is detected to drop to a certain level, the thermostat 2 will automatically reset.

[0021] In order to further enhance the safety of the device, the electric heater 1 is also connected in series with a tipping switch 3. The setting of the tipping switch 3 is the main innovation of the utility model. The function of the tipping switch 3 is to cut off the power supply in time when the water heater is tilted or inverted, thereby preventing potential risks such as dry burning or circuit short circuit caused by improper posture of the device.

[0022] The tipping switch 3 can be mechanical, electronic, photoelectric, etc. Among them, a mechanical tipping switch is preferred, which has high sensitivity and reliability, can respond quickly and cut off the power supply when the device tilts, and ensure the safety of the user. In addition, the mechanical tipping switch itself does not need power supply to work normally.

[0023] In the bypass of the dump switch 3, a dump warning light 4 is connected in parallel. When the water heater is not installed correctly and the dump switch 3 is triggered (disconnected), the dump warning light 4 will light up immediately (at this time, the thermostat 2 is also in the on state, and a weak current passes through), to warn the user that the water heater is in an unsafe state and remind the user to check the installation posture of the water heater in time. When the water heater is installed correctly, the dump switch 3 is turned on, and the dump warning light 4 is short-circuited and will not light up. This design effectively improves the user's awareness of the status of the device and helps to avoid safety hazards caused by ignoring warnings.

[0024] In addition, a heating indicator light 5 is connected in parallel at both ends of the electric heater 1, which lights up when the electric heater is working, providing a user with an intuitive working status indication. Through the heating indicator light 5, the user can clearly understand whether the water heater is heating the water body, thereby more effectively controlling the use of hot water.

[0025] To further enhance the safety of the circuit, a thermal circuit breaker 6 is also connected to the power supply circuit of the electric heater 1. The main function of the thermal circuit breaker 6 is to monitor whether the water temperature exceeds the designed over-temperature. Once the water temperature is too high (after the thermostat 2 fails and shorts, it will continue to heat, causing the water temperature to continue to rise until the thermal circuit breaker is activated), the thermal circuit breaker 6 will automatically disconnect the power supply, thereby effectively protecting the water heater from damage to electrical equipment due to excessive water temperature.

[0026] To sum up, the anti-misinstallation water heater of the present invention has greatly improved the safety and reliability of the equipment through multiple safety designs. It not only ensures that the water heater operates safely in the correct installation posture, but also provides users with a more intuitive user experience, effectively reducing the potential risks caused by incorrect installation.
