Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of solar water heaters, in particular to a high-performance overheat-proof controllable solar water heater. Background Art

[0002] Solar water heaters mostly refer to flat-plate collectors, which include a profile frame with multiple vacuum collector tubes arranged inside the profile frame. A water tank is installed on the top of the profile frame. The upper ends of the multiple vacuum collector tubes are connected to the water tank. The vacuum collector tubes absorb solar energy to heat the liquid in the water tank.

[0017] 2. The utility model can effectively control the temperature of the water in the water tank by adjusting the radiation amount irradiated to the vacuum heat collecting tube of the solar water heater, avoiding the problem of insufficient hot water in winter or when the light is poor, and overheating and scaling of the water in summer or when the light is good, which will affect the life of the solar water heater, making the water temperature controllable;

[0018] 3. The chain transmission mechanism includes a driving shaft, a driven shaft, a driving sprocket, a driven sprocket and a chain.

The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a high-performance anti-overheating controllable solar water heater, which mainly includes a water tank 1, a bracket 2 and a profile frame 3. The water tank 1 is installed on the top of the bracket 2, and the profile frame 3 is installed on the bracket 2. A plurality of vacuum heat collecting tubes are installed side by side between the upper profile frame and the lower profile frame of the profile frame 3 to form a heat collecting tube row 4, and the upper end of the vacuum heat collecting tube is connected to the water tank 1. The water tank 1 is a non-pressure insulation water tank, which plays the role of storing hot water. The bracket is a matching aluminum profile or galvanized sheet flat roof bracket, which plays the role of fixing the water tank and the vacuum heat collecting tube. The vacuum heat collecting tube is a full-glass vacuum solar heat collecting tube, which absorbs solar energy and converts it into heat energy to heat the water in the water tank.

[0029] like Figure 2-4As shown, in order to overcome the technical problems of insufficient hot water in winter or bad weather and repeated boiling and overheating of water in the water tank in summer or good sunshine. The high-performance controllable solar water heater with anti-overheating described in this embodiment also includes a sunshade 5 and a chain transmission mechanism, the chain transmission mechanism is arranged in the profile frame, the chain transmission mechanism includes a driving shaft 6 and a driven shaft 7, the driving shaft 6 and the driven shaft 7 are respectively swivel-mounted on the left and right side frames of the profile frame through the bearing seat assembly, the axis of the driving shaft 6, the driven shaft 7 and the vacuum heat collecting tube are all on the same plane, the upper and lower ends of the driving shaft 6 are both equipped with driving sprockets, the upper and lower ends of the driven shaft 7 are both equipped with driven sprockets, and the driving sprockets and the driven sprockets are connected as a whole through a chain 8. In order to enable the driving shaft 6 to rotate in the zone, a driving motor 9 is installed on the outer side of the profile frame, the output shaft of the driving motor 9 is connected to the driving shaft 6, the driving shaft 6 is driven to rotate by the driving motor, and the driven shaft 7 rotates synchronously due to the action of the chain 8.

[0030] The sunshade curtain 5 includes a plurality of metal plates arranged along the front-to-back direction. In the present embodiment, the metal plates are made of aluminum strips, which are low in cost, light in weight and have a long service life. The back of the sunshade curtain 5 is coated with a mirror reflection layer 51, and the front is coated with a black coating 52. A connecting frame is provided on the unit section of the chain 8, and the connecting frame is connected to the bottom side of the end of the metal plate by a bolt assembly. With such a design, the upper and lower sides of the sunshade curtain 5 are respectively connected to the chain transmission mechanism. Initially, the sunshade curtain 5 is located above the solar collector tube row, with the black coating facing upwards, so as to provide shade and prevent direct sunlight from shining on the vacuum solar collector tube. The chain transmission mechanism can drive the sunshade curtain 5 to move along an elliptical trajectory to the bottom of the solar collector tube row, and make the mirror reflection layer face the bottom of the solar collector tube row.

When the sunshade 5 moves above the heat collecting tube row, it can completely block the sunlight.

[0032] The specific working process of the high-performance controllable solar water heater with overheat prevention described in this embodiment is as follows:

[0033] When sunlight shines on the vacuum heat collecting tube, it absorbs heat and transfers it to the water in the water tank, so that the water temperature rises, thus obtaining hot water for domestic use. In winter or when the light is poor, when it is detected that the water temperature in the water tank is low and does not meet the user's use requirements, the chain transmission mechanism drives the sunshade to move to the bottom of the heat collecting tube row. At this time, the mirror reflection layer faces the bottom of the heat collecting tube row, which can reflect sunlight to the lower part of the vacuum heat collecting tube, thereby improving the heat absorption efficiency of the vacuum heat collecting tube, so that the water temperature in the water tank rises quickly and reaches the user's required water temperature in a short time; in summer or when the light is good, when it is detected that the water temperature in the water tank is high and exceeds the user's use requirements, the chain transmission mechanism drives the sunshade to move to the top of the heat collecting tube row, thereby shielding the sunlight, reducing the heat absorption of the vacuum heat collecting tube, avoiding the water temperature in the water tank from overheating and scaling, and reducing the service life; the sunshade is used to adjust the size of the sunshade area above the heat collecting tube row, so that the water temperature of the solar water heater can be controlled.
