Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water heater manufacturing, and particularly relates to an open water heater. Background Technique

[0002] Currently, the hot water (referring to non-drinking hot water and non-edible hot water) required for daily life such as people taking baths, washing faces, washing hair, washing feet, washing hands, washing dishes, and washing vegetables is generated by closed water heater devices such as "hanging electric water heaters" and "coal (gas) water heaters". The deficiencies and drawbacks are as follows:

[0003] 1. Since the closed water heater starts the device power switch to boil water in the way of tap water flowing, when hot water is urgently needed, a lot of cold water needs to be discharged first and a long time needs to be waited before hot water can be obtained for use.

[0004] 2. Because the function of the closed water heater is severely restricted by the location conditions of indoor water and electricity infrastructure, for the water-washing rooms with a relatively long indoor layout, there are the following three types of waste and consumption when using hot water, namely: First, when taking hot water, the waiting time is longer, which is a wasteful consumption of time; second, when taking hot water, more useless cold water is discharged, which is a wasteful consumption of water resources; third, the useless cold water discharged is actually the cooled hot water that has been heated by coal (gas) or electricity, and converting the consumed gas or electricity into cost is a wasteful consumption of funds.

[0005] 3. The new generation of closed water heaters, namely instant water heaters, have achieved remarkable results in terms of convenient and rapid use of hot water to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned water heaters. However, the manufacture of instant water heaters operates by over-increasing the power of the device heating element to achieve the rapid hot water effect. The device generally operates at a power between 2000W and 5500W. Once the device is under many "illegal and improper factors" such as "improper installation", "improper maintenance due to aging over the years", "improper operation in the use process", and "improper quality control in manufacturing", the personal safety and property safety problems of thousands of families pose a serious challenge and major test that cannot be underestimated, and the potential safety accidents are serious.

[0006] 4. The internal water storage containers of closed water heaters cannot be manually cleaned and wiped, and the quality of the heated hot water deteriorates, containing heavy metal pollution elements, losing the meaning of green environmental protection. Content of the Utility Model

The outer end pipe head is connected to the water outlet hose 33. For large or extra-large barrel bodies, one or two more of these components can be installed. However, for small and micro barrel bodies that discharge hot water through a faucet or pour out hot water from the inner tank 111, this water outlet connector 31 is not installed.

[0072] Example 14

[0073] Please refer to Figure 1-3 , the water inlet hose 13 is a pipe with one end connected to the water source pipe and the other end connected to the automatic water inlet valve 131. If the water inlet source is high-pressure tap water, it is connected to pipes such as metal explosion-proof pipes and plastic explosion-proof pipes. If the water inlet source is high-level drop water, it can be connected to non-explosion-proof type pipes. The pipe diameter can be 3 points or 2 points. For hot water used in the kitchen and for drinking, the pipe body is made of food-grade pipe material. However, if the hot water is used for other purposes, the pipe body can be made of non-food-grade pipe material. For barrel bodies that do not require the installation of the automatic water inlet valve 131, this water inlet hose 13 is not configured.

[0074] Example 15

[0075] Please refer to Figure 7 , the water outlet hose 33 is a pipe with one end connected to the water outlet connector 31 and the other end connected to a faucet. The material is a metal hose or a plastic hose, with a caliber of 3 / 4 or 4 / 4 inches. It can be of explosion-proof or non-explosion-proof grade. For hot water used in the kitchen or for drinking, it belongs to the food-grade type of pipe. For hot water used in other aspects, it can be a non-food-grade type of pipe. If the water outlet from the barrel body is in the form of a faucet or directly poured out from the inner tank 111, this water outlet hose 33 is not configured.

[0076] Example 16

[0077] Please refer to Figure 7 , the external booster pump 32 is a special component configured for using hot water for bathing in the bathroom. Its water inlet end is connected to the water outlet connector 31, and its water outlet end is connected to the shower head 34 through the water outlet hose 33. It is installed on the outside of the barrel body and is powered by a dedicated adapter with a 24V DC voltage. It can instantly boost the weak natural flowing water and transform it into a water flow with the same pressure as high-pressure tap water, which is used for hot bathing and flushing other objects with hot water. In addition, this external booster pump 32 can also be used to lift hot water from the lower position to the higher position of the object of the present invention, but for the objects of the present invention that do not use high-pressure hot water, this external booster pump 32 is not configured.

[0078] Example 17

[0079] Please refer to Figure 7 , the remote control switch 35 is equipped with a matching remote control. The remote control switch 35 is installed on the power socket of the adapter of the external booster pump 32. The remote control switch 35 needs to be wrapped with waterproof material for its shell and is installed on the wall closer to the position of the shower head. When taking a bath, manually touch the remote control switch 35, and the external booster pump 32 is started, and high-pressure hot water sprays out from the shower head 34 for bathing.

[0080] The working principle is as follows:

[0081] First, cold water (ice cubes can also be used) is poured into the inner tank 111 of the barrel body manually or automatically. Then, the time control switch 23 is turned on to connect the power supply, so that the heating element 142 at the bottom of the inner tank 111, that is, the ceramic low-temperature heating sheet, is powered on. At this time, the ceramic low-temperature heating sheet quickly generates a constant temperature of 120 °C, conducts it to the bottom of the inner tank 111, and then conducts it to the cold water in the inner tank 111. During the continuous conduction and attenuation of the temperature, the temperature of the cold water in the inner tank 111 gradually rises from low to high and is finally kept constant at 70 °C for use.

[0082] Therefore, it is specifically stated that: the function of the present invention is not only limited to heating for domestic washing water, but can also be used for continuous heat preservation of drinking water or food, etc.

[0083] The above are only the preferred examples of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
