Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of solar water heaters, in particular to a solar water heater which is convenient for water replenishment. Background Art

[0002] A solar water heater is a heating device that converts sunlight energy into thermal energy, heating water from low temperature to high temperature to meet people's hot water needs in life and production. Solar water heaters are divided into vacuum tube solar water heaters according to their structural form, with vacuum tube solar water heaters being the main type. According to a Chinese patent with the publication number CN217817504U, in the above application, water is replenished into the main water tank through a water replenishment pipe and a flow stabilization component. In order to prevent the water entering the main water tank from impacting the water in the main water tank, the flow stabilization component guides the water entering the main water tank, causing the water to flow out from top to bottom, thus acting as a buffer. The flow stabilization component diverts the water entering the main water tank, expanding the mixing range with the water in the main water tank, and evenly mixes the water entering the main water tank with the water in the main water tank, thus avoiding cold and hot shocks, reducing the risk of the vacuum tube of the solar water heater bursting, and extending the service life of the solar water heater. A Chinese patent discloses a solar water heater that is convenient for water replenishment (authorization announcement number CN220417698U). The patented technology discloses a solar water heater that is convenient for water replenishment. The solar water heater that is convenient for water replenishment includes a fixed frame, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed frame, a vacuum tube clamped on the surface of the connecting plate, a water tank fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed frame, an insulation layer fixedly connected to the inside of the water tank, an isolation plate fixedly connected to the inside of the insulation layer, a receiving groove provided inside the isolation plate, a baffle slidably connected to the inside of the receiving groove, a telescopic rod fixedly connected to one end of the baffle, and a through hole provided on the surface of the baffle. The solar water heater that is convenient for water replenishment solves the problem that the water temperature inside the water tank drops due to different water temperatures when replenishing the water tank, thereby affecting the use effect. The problem that the vacuum tube bursts due to failure to replenish water in time is solved by providing a slide groove, a float ball, and a sensing block. This patented technology solves the problem that when the water tank is replenished with water during actual use, the water temperature inside the water tank drops due to different water temperatures, affecting the use effect. In view of this, we have proposed a solar water heater that is convenient for water replenishment.

[0003] However, when the temperature difference between the replenishing water and the temperature inside the solar water heater is too large, it is easy to cause thermal expansion and contraction of the heat exchange tube of the solar water heater, which is easy to cause damage. It is necessary to solve the problem of increasing the water source temperature when replenishing the solar water heater in the existing technology.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a solar water heater that is convenient for water replenishment to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Content of the Utility Model

[0029] Embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , in this embodiment, a solar water heater convenient for water replenishment is provided, including: a solar water heater body 1, and an automatic water replenishment structure 2 for automatically replenishing water from a water source is connected to the water inlet of the solar water heater body 1;
