[0016] As Figures 1-3 shown, a thermostat includes a water tank 1. A light intensity sensor 3 is installed on one side of the water tank 1. A bracket 2 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 1. A number of heat collecting tubes 17 are installed between the water tank 1 and the bracket 2. The heat collecting tubes 17 are used to collect solar energy and heat the water in the water tank 1 by using the collected solar energy. One end of the water tank 1 is connected to a hot water pipe 7. The other end of the hot water pipe 7 is connected to a mixing water tank 5. A dynamic heat balance adjustment component is provided on the mixing water tank 5.

[0017] Among them, the dynamic heat balance adjustment component includes a hot water valve 9 and a cold water valve 10. A mixing cavity 16 is provided inside the mixing water tank 5. A cold water pipe 8 is installed on the top of the mixing water tank 5. The cold water pipe 8 is used to connect to external cold water. A water outlet pipe 13 is installed at the bottom of the mixing water tank 5. The bottom of the water outlet pipe 13 is used to connect to a faucet to facilitate controlling the outflow of water. The hot water pipe 7, the cold water pipe 8 and the water outlet pipe 13 are all communicated with the mixing cavity 16. A hot water valve 9 is installed on the hot water pipe 7. A cold water valve 10 is installed on the cold water pipe 8. A water outlet valve 4 is installed on the water outlet pipe 13.

[0018] Among them, the bottom of the mixing cavity 16 is conical, which can facilitate the water to flow out of the water outlet pipe 13.

[0019] Embodiment 2

[0020] On the basis of Embodiment 1, the further improvement lies in that, as Figures 1-3A constant temperature regulator is shown. A control panel 6 is installed on one side of the mixing water tank 5. An intelligent temperature control component is provided on the control panel 6. The intelligent temperature control component includes a temperature sensor 14 and a heating plate 15. The temperature sensor 14 is installed at the bottommost end of the inner wall of the mixing water cavity 16, and the heating plate 15 is installed on the inner wall of the mixing water cavity 16. A liquid level gauge 21 is installed on the inner top wall of the mixing water cavity 16, and the detection end of the liquid level gauge 21 is arranged towards the inner bottom wall of the mixing water cavity 16. The temperature sensor 14 adopts a high-precision temperature sensor and is used to monitor the water temperature in the mixing water cavity 16 in real time. A display screen 11 and control buttons 12 are installed on the control panel 6. The display screen 11 is used to display the real-time temperature, and the control buttons 12 are convenient for controlling the control panel. The light intensity sensor 3, the hot water valve 9 and the cold water valve 10 are all connected to the control panel 6. The intensity of the light in the environment is monitored in real time through the light intensity sensor 3, and the information is transmitted to the control panel 6. The control panel 6 controls the water temperature in the mixing water cavity 16 according to the information fed back by the light intensity sensor 3. In the case of sufficient light, the water temperature in the water tank 1 is relatively high. First, the hot water valve 9 is opened to allow hot water to enter the mixing water tank 5. When the temperature detector 14 detects that the water temperature is relatively high, the control panel 6 will control the cold water valve 10 to open to allow cold water to enter the mixing water tank 5, so that the cold and hot water are mixed, and the hot water valve 9 and the cold water valve 10 are automatically adjusted according to the water temperature in the mixing water tank 5 to keep the water temperature in the mixing water tank 5 within the set value range. In rainy weather or when the light is weak, the hot water valve 9 is controlled to open. If the temperature detector 14 detects that the water temperature of the hot water cannot meet the set temperature requirement, the liquid level gauge 21 detects the hot water level. When the water level exceeds the set standard, at this time, the control panel 6 will control the heating plate 15 to operate to heat the water in the mixing water tank 5 to raise its temperature to the set temperature, so that the water temperature in the mixing water cavity 16 is always kept constant.

[0021] Wherein, a motor 20 is connected to one side of the mixing water tank 5. The output end of the motor 20 penetrates through the mixing water tank 5 and is drivingly connected to a rotating rod 18. The other end of the rotating rod 18 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mixing water cavity 16. A plurality of blades 19 are connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 18. By starting the motor 20 to drive the rotating rod 18 to rotate and make the blades 19 rotate, the water in the mixing water tank 5 can be stirred to make the cold and hot water fully mixed and improve the mixing efficiency of the cold and hot water.

[0022] The technological process and working principle of the utility model are as follows: The light intensity sensor 3 monitors the light intensity in the environment in real time. When the light is sufficient, the water temperature in the water tank 1 is relatively high. First, open the hot water valve 9 to let the hot water enter the mixing water tank 5. When the temperature detector 14 detects that the water temperature is relatively high, the control panel 6 will control the cold water valve 10 to open to let the cold water enter the mixing water tank 5, so that the cold and hot water are mixed, and the hot water valve 9 and the cold water valve 10 are automatically adjusted according to the water temperature in the mixing water tank 5 to keep the water temperature in the mixing water tank 5 within the set value range. In rainy weather or when the light is weak, control the hot water valve 9 to open. If the water temperature of the hot water detected by the temperature detector 14 cannot meet the set temperature requirement, continuously pass hot water through the hot water valve 9. The liquid level gauge 21 detects the hot water level. When the water level reaches the set standard and the water temperature of the hot water still cannot meet the set temperature requirement, at this time, the control panel 6 will control the heating plate 15 to operate to heat the water in the mixing water tank 5 to raise its temperature to the set temperature, so that the water temperature in the mixing chamber 16 remains constant all the time, making the water temperature not affected by the external environment and precisely regulating the water temperature.
