[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the solar panel charges the storage battery, the storage battery powers the heater, and the heater heats the water in the water tank. When the mixing valve is opened, the tap water and the heated water are mixed through the mixing pipe and sprayed out from the shower head, so that the water sprayed out from the shower head maintains an appropriate water temperature.

[0018] Optionally, a liquid level sensor is arranged in the water tank. When the water level is lower than the set level, the controller causes the control valve to open and the tap water enters the water tank from the first branch pipe.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the liquid level sensor and the control valve cooperate to maintain the water level in the water tank.

[0020] Optionally, a temperature sensor is arranged in the water tank. When the water temperature exceeds the threshold value, the controller controls the storage battery to stop powering the heater.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the arrangement of the receiving groove facilitates the installation of the solar panel.

[0028] Optionally, a normally open solenoid valve is arranged at the outlet of the mixing pipe, and a temperature sensor is arranged in the water tank. When the water temperature is lower than the threshold value, the normally open solenoid valve closes.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, when the water temperature in the water tank is too low, since the normally open solenoid valve is closed when the mixing valve is opened, the shower head will not discharge water.

[0030] Optionally, an installation base is provided at the bottom of the column. The column is inserted into the installation base. The installation base has a connecting ring, and the connecting ring has installation holes.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation base is first fixed to the ground through the installation holes, and then the column is quickly installed by inserting the column into the installation base.

Detailed implementation mode

[0043] The following will further elaborate on this application in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-5 drawings.

[0044] Embodiment 1: An outdoor column shower, comprising a column 1, a water tank 2, a shower head 3, a water inlet pipe 4, a water outlet pipe 5, a mixing valve 6, a mixing pipe 7, a water pump 8, a solar panel 9, a controller 10, a storage battery 11, and a heater 12.

[0045] The column 1 has an internal cavity that is open at both ends. It can be understood that the column 1 has a pipe structure. In this embodiment, it is a rectangular pipe, and the column 1 is composed of two symmetric half-structures spliced together, and the two half-structures are connected together by an upper end cap 13 and a lower end cap 14. The upper end of the column 1 is closed by the upper end cap 13, and the lower end of the column 1 is sealed by the lower end cap 14. A first sealing ring 15 is provided between the upper end cap 13 and the column 1, and a second sealing ring 16 is provided between the lower end cap 14 and the column 1. Both the upper end cap 13 and the lower end cap 14 are connected to the column 1 by bolts. The bolt connection facilitates the disassembly of the upper end cap 13 and the lower end cap 14, and the sealing effect can also be achieved through the first sealing ring 15 and the second sealing ring 16.

[0046] An installation seat 17 is provided at the bottom of the column 1. The column 1 is inserted into the installation seat 17. The installation seat 17 has a connecting ring 18, and the connecting ring 18 has installation holes 19. Generally, nuts or metal plate members with threaded holes are embedded in the ground (the nuts are poured in concrete), and bolts pass through the installation holes 19 and are connected to the nuts or threaded holes.

[0047] The top of the upper end cap 13 has a receiving groove 20, and the solar panel 9 is placed in the receiving groove 20. The upper end cap 13 is provided with a wire passing hole 21, and the wire passing hole 21 communicates with the receiving groove 20. The wires of the solar panel 9 pass through the wire passing hole 21 and are connected to the controller 10. The storage battery 11 is installed in the internal cavity of the column 1 and is electrically connected to the controller 10. The heater 12 is located inside the water tank 2 or at the bottom of the water tank 2 and is electrically connected to the storage battery 11. In this embodiment, the heater 12 is located inside the water tank 2 and at the bottom, and specifically can be an S-shaped electric heating tube.

[0048] The water inlet pipe 4 includes a main pipeline 22, a first branch pipe 23, and a second branch pipe 24. One end of the main pipeline 22 is connected to both the first branch pipe 23 and the second branch pipe 24 at the same time. The other end of the main pipeline 22 is connected to the tap water pipe. The first branch pipe 23 is connected to the water inlet of the water tank 2, and a control valve 25 is installed on the first branch pipe 23. Here, the control valve 25 is an electromagnetic valve so as to be controlled by the controller 10. The water outlet pipe 5 is connected to the water outlet of the water tank 2. The mixing valve 6 is a prior art and can refer to the mixing water valve described in CN201992137U. The water pump 8 is installed in the water tank 2 and connected to the water outlet pipe 5. The water pump 8 can be replaced by a booster pump, and a pressure sensor electrically connected to the controller 10 is arranged inside the water tank 2. The controller 10 controls the booster pump according to the pressure fed back by the pressure sensor to maintain the internal pressure of the water tank 2. When the mixing valve 6 is opened, there is enough pressure to press the water in the water tank 2 out.

[0049] A notch 26 extending from top to bottom is formed on the mounting seat 17. Two interface pipes 27 for docking with the first branch pipe 23 and the second branch pipe 24 are arranged on the column 1. All pipelines and lines except the main pipeline 22, the first branch pipe 23, and the second branch pipe 24 are located in the internal cavity of the column 1.

[0050] In order to control the water level in the water tank 2, a liquid level sensor 28 is arranged in the water tank 2. When the water level is lower than the set water level, the controller 10 makes the control valve 25 open and tap water enters the water tank 2 from the first branch pipe 23. Generally, the set water level is 30% of the full water level.

[0051] In order to prevent the water temperature in the water tank 2 from being too high, a temperature sensor 29 is arranged in the water tank 2. When the water temperature exceeds the threshold value, the controller 10 controls the storage battery 11 to stop supplying power to the heater 12. Generally, the threshold value can be set to 40 degrees. Since it is set outdoors and the pipe diameters of the water outlet pipe 5 and the second branch pipe 24 are the same, when they are mixed, the flow rates are close to 1:1. The final mixed temperature is generally between 25 and 30 degrees.

[0052] A normally open electromagnetic valve 30 is arranged at the outlet of the mixing pipe 7. When the controller 10 makes the control valve 25 open, the controller 10 controls the normally open electromagnetic valve 30 to close.

[0053] The implementation principle of the column 1 shower 3 for outdoor use in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: during normal water inlet, when the liquid level sensor 28 detects that the water level is low, the controller 10 makes the control valve 25 open and tap water enters the water tank 2 from the first branch pipe 23. When the water level is full, the controller 10 makes the control valve 25 close. When the control handle of the mixing valve 6 is opened, the water pump 8 works, and hot water and tap water are mixed through the mixing pipe 7 and sprayed out from the shower 3 (the hot water is conveyed by the water pump 8, and the tap water is conveyed by the network pressure). When water is inlet, since the normally open electromagnetic valve 30 is closed, even if the mixing valve 6 is opened, the shower 3 does not discharge water.

[0054] Embodiment 2: The normally open solenoid valve 30 is provided at the outlet of the mixing pipe 7. When the controller 10 opens the control valve 25, the controller 10 controls the normally open solenoid valve 30 to close, which is replaced with: The normally open solenoid valve 30 is provided at the outlet of the mixing pipe 7, and a temperature sensor 29 is provided in the water tank 2. When the water temperature is lower than the threshold value, the threshold value is generally 15 degrees. The normally open solenoid valve 30 is closed. Generally, the temperature sensor 29 here shares one with the temperature sensor 29 in Embodiment 1. Of course, two temperature sensors can also be provided without considering the cost.

[0055] In this way, when the water temperature is too low, since the normally open solenoid valve 30 is closed, even if the mixing valve 6 is opened, the shower head 3 does not discharge water.
