Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of faucets, and particularly relates to a kitchen induction faucet with a heating function. Background Art

[0002] An electric heating faucet, also known as an electric water heater faucet, is a kitchen and bathroom small household appliance that integrates a faucet and an electric heater, which facilitates the access to hot water in a kitchen without a gas water heater. In the current heating faucet, an electric heating pipe is arranged inside to heat water. However, during long-term use, a large amount of water scale will adhere to the surface of the electric heating pipe and the inner wall of the heating space, resulting in a significant reduction in the heating effect and also affecting the water quality. Since the heating pipe is mostly spiral, it is very inconvenient to clean, and the heating faucet needs to be disassembled, which is very difficult for people with poor hands-on ability. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] Aiming at the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a kitchen induction faucet with a heating function, which has a good automatic cleaning function for the scale adhering to the inside of the heating chamber and the outside of the electric heating pipe, improves the convenience of scale cleaning, and avoids excessive accumulation of scale affecting the heating efficiency and water quality.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A kitchen induction faucet with a heating function, including a housing. Inside the housing, there are a heating chamber and a control chamber. A control module is installed inside the control chamber. One end of the heating chamber is threadedly connected to a first sealing cap, and one end of the control chamber is threadedly connected to a second sealing cap. An electric heating pipe and a temperature sensor are installed inside the heating chamber. A water inlet joint is arranged at the bottom of the heating chamber, and an electromagnetic control valve is installed on the top of the water inlet joint. An infrared sensor, a temperature display screen, and a cleaning control key are arranged on the front of the housing. The top of the heating chamber is connected to a water outlet pipe. A transducer installation chamber is arranged on the top of the housing, and a ultrasonic transducer is screwed and installed inside the transducer installation chamber.

A second bellows connection seat is fixedly installed on the outside of the ultrasonic vibration rod. A bellows is connected between the first bellows connection seat and the second bellows connection seat.

[0005] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: This device can clean scale. When scale needs to be cleaned, press the cleaning control key, and the control module will automatically control the ultrasonic transducer to operate, driving the ultrasonic vibration rod to perform ultrasonic vibration. When ultrasonic waves propagate in the water in the heating chamber, cavitation occurs, generating cavitation bubbles. When these bubbles burst, a large amount of energy is released, which can effectively destroy and peel off the scale on the surface of the heating chamber and the electric heating tube, and break the scale particles in the water. A first bellows connection seat is fixedly installed inside the communication channel, and a second bellows connection seat is fixedly installed on the outside of the ultrasonic vibration rod. A bellows is connected between the first bellows connection seat and the second bellows connection seat. Sealant is filled between the first bellows connection seat and the communication channel, and between the second bellows connection seat and the ultrasonic vibration rod. Therefore, while not affecting the vibration action of the ultrasonic vibration rod, it can play a good sealing role, preventing water from entering the interior of the communication channel. With the further protection of the sealing rubber ring, it can effectively prevent water from leaking out of the transducer installation chamber. After the scale is peeled off and broken, press the cleaning control key to turn off the ultrasonic transducer, and then open the fourth sealing screw cap below the waste discharge pipe to drain the water mixed with a large amount of scale in the heating chamber. The first sealing screw cap can also be opened to further clean the scale remaining inside the heating chamber that has not been discharged with the waste water. When the control module in the control chamber needs to be repaired, just open the second sealing screw cap. In summary, while this device can perform induction heating and water discharge, it has a good automatic cleaning function for the scale adhering to the interior of the heating chamber and the outside of the electric heating tube, improving the convenience of scale cleaning and preventing excessive scale accumulation from affecting the heating efficiency and water quality.

[0006] In order to drain the waste water:

[0007] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: The bottom of the heating chamber is connected with a waste discharge pipe, and a fourth sealing screw cap is threadedly installed at the bottom of the waste discharge pipe.

[0010] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: A sealing rubber ring is provided below the ultrasonic transducer inside the transducer installation chamber. Sealant is filled between the first bellows connection seat and the communication channel, and between the second bellows connection seat and the ultrasonic vibration rod.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: A first bellows connection seat is fixedly installed inside the communication channel, and a second bellows connection seat is fixedly installed on the outer side of the ultrasonic vibration rod. A bellows is connected between the first bellows connection seat and the second bellows connection seat. Sealant is filled between the first bellows connection seat and the communication channel, and between the second bellows connection seat and the ultrasonic vibration rod. Therefore, while not affecting the vibration action of the ultrasonic vibration rod, a good sealing effect can be achieved, preventing water from entering the inside of the communication channel. With the further insurance of the sealant ring, water leakage from the transducer installation chamber can be effectively avoided.

[0012] For the maintenance of the ultrasonic transducer:

[0013] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: A third sealing screw cap is threadedly connected to the top of the transducer installation chamber.

[0014] The beneficial effect of this improvement is: The third sealing screw cap can be opened to perform maintenance on the ultrasonic transducer.

[0015] For the control of this device:

[0016] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: The cleaning control button is electrically connected to the control module, the infrared sensor is electrically connected to the control module, and the control module is electrically connected to the electromagnetic control valve, the electric heating tube, and the ultrasonic transducer.

[0017] The beneficial effect of this improvement is: When this device is in use, the operation of the electromagnetic control valve and the electric heating tube is controlled by the infrared sensor. When the infrared sensor senses that there is a hand or an object in front of it, the electromagnetic control valve automatically opens. When scale needs to be cleaned, the cleaning control button is pressed, and the control module automatically controls the operation of the ultrasonic transducer.

A bellows 21 is connected between the first bellows connection seat 19 and the second bellows connection seat 20.

[0028] This device can clean scale. When scale needs to be cleaned, press the cleaning control key 25, and the control module 4 will automatically control the ultrasonic transducer 15 to operate, driving the ultrasonic vibration rod 17 to perform ultrasonic vibration. When ultrasonic waves propagate in the water in the heating chamber 2, cavitation occurs, generating cavitation bubbles. When these bubbles burst, a large amount of energy is released, which can effectively destroy and peel off the scale on the surface of the heating chamber 2 and the electric heating tube 7, and break the scale particles in the water. A first bellows connection seat 19 is fixedly installed inside the communication channel 18, and a second bellows connection seat 20 is fixedly installed outside the ultrasonic vibration rod 17. A bellows 21 is connected between the first bellows connection seat 19 and the second bellows connection seat 20. Sealing glue is filled between the first bellows connection seat 19 and the communication channel 18, and between the second bellows connection seat 20 and the ultrasonic vibration rod. Therefore, while not affecting the vibration action of the ultrasonic vibration rod 17, it can play a good sealing role, preventing water from entering the inside of the communication channel 18. With the further protection of the sealing rubber ring 16, it can effectively prevent water from leaking out of the transducer installation chamber 14. After the scale is peeled off and broken, press the cleaning control key 25 to turn off the ultrasonic transducer 15, and then open the fourth sealing screw cap 24 below the waste discharge pipe 23, and the water mixed with a large amount of scale in the heating chamber 2 can be discharged. The first sealing screw cap 5 can also be opened to further clean the scale remaining inside the heating chamber 2 that has not been discharged with the waste water. When the control module 4 in the control chamber 3 needs to be repaired, just open the second sealing screw cap 6. In summary, while this device can perform induction heating to supply water, it has a good automatic cleaning function for the scale attached to the inside of the heating chamber 2 and the outside of the electric heating tube 7, improving the convenience of scale cleaning and preventing excessive scale accumulation from affecting the heating efficiency and water quality.

[0029] The bottom of the heating chamber 2 is connected with a waste discharge pipe 23, and a fourth sealing screw cap 24 is threadedly installed at the bottom of the waste discharge pipe 23.

[0030] Open the fourth sealing screw cap 24 below the waste discharge pipe 23, and the water mixed with a large amount of scale in the heating chamber 2 can be discharged.

[0031] A sealing rubber ring 16 is provided below the ultrasonic transducer 15 inside the transducer installation chamber 14. Sealing glue is filled between the first bellows connection seat 19 and the communication channel 18, and between the second bellows connection seat 20 and the ultrasonic vibration rod.

[0032] Inside the connecting channel 18, a first corrugated pipe connecting seat 19 is fixedly installed. Outside the ultrasonic vibration rod 17, a second corrugated pipe connecting seat 20 is fixedly installed. A corrugated pipe 21 is connected between the first corrugated pipe connecting seat 19 and the second corrugated pipe connecting seat 20. Sealant is filled between the first corrugated pipe connecting seat 19 and the connecting channel 18, and between the second corrugated pipe connecting seat 20 and the ultrasonic vibration rod. Therefore, while not affecting the vibration action of the ultrasonic vibration rod 17, a good sealing effect can be achieved, preventing water from entering the inside of the connecting channel 18. With the further insurance of the sealing rubber ring 16, water leakage from the transducer installation chamber 14 can be effectively avoided.

[0033] The top of the transducer installation chamber 14 is threadedly connected with a third sealing screw cap 22.

[0034] Opening the third sealing screw cap 22 allows for the maintenance of the ultrasonic transducer 15.

[0035] The cleaning control button 25 is electrically connected to the control module 4. The infrared sensor 10 is electrically connected to the control module 4. The control module 4 is electrically connected to the electromagnetic control valve 9, the electric heating tube 7, and the ultrasonic transducer 15.

[0036] When this device is in use, the operation of the electromagnetic control valve 9 and the electric heating tube 7 is controlled by the infrared sensor 10.

The internal water temperature of the heating chamber 2 can be monitored by the temperature sensor 12 and displayed on the temperature display screen 11. During long-term use, a lot of scale will adhere to the inner wall of the heating chamber 2 and the outer side of the electric heating pipe 7. This device can clean the scale. When it is necessary to clean the scale, press the cleaning control key 25, and the control module 4 will automatically control the ultrasonic transducer 15 to operate, driving the ultrasonic vibration rod 17 to perform ultrasonic vibration. When ultrasonic waves propagate in the water in the heating chamber 2, cavitation occurs, generating cavitation bubbles. When these bubbles burst, a large amount of energy is released, which can effectively destroy and peel off the scale on the surfaces of the heating chamber 2 and the electric heating pipe 7, and break the scale particles in the water. A first bellows connection seat 19 is fixedly installed inside the communication channel 18, and a second bellows connection seat 20 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the ultrasonic vibration rod 17. A bellows 21 is connected between the first bellows connection seat 19 and the second bellows connection seat 20. Sealant is filled between the first bellows connection seat 19 and the communication channel 18, and between the second bellows connection seat 20 and the ultrasonic vibration rod. Therefore, while not affecting the vibration action of the ultrasonic vibration rod 17, it can play a good sealing role to prevent water from entering the interior of the communication channel 18. With the further protection of the sealing rubber ring 16, it can effectively prevent water from leaking out of the transducer installation chamber 14. After the scale is peeled off and broken, press the cleaning control key 25 to turn off the ultrasonic transducer 15, and then open the fourth sealing screw cap 24 below the waste discharge pipe 23 to discharge the water mixed with a large amount of scale in the heating chamber 2. You can also open the first sealing screw cap 5 to further clean the scale remaining in the heating chamber 2 that has not been discharged with the waste water. When it is necessary to repair the control module 4 in the control chamber 3, just open the second sealing screw cap 6. In summary, while this device can perform induction heating and water discharge, it has a good automatic cleaning function for the scale adhering to the interior of the heating chamber 2 and the outer side of the electric heating pipe 7, improving the convenience of scale cleaning and preventing excessive scale accumulation from affecting the heating efficiency and water quality.
