Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bathtub constant temperature, and mainly relates to a circulating bathtub constant temperature device. Background Art
[0002] Existing bathtub thermostats use temperature sensors located at the water inlet or on the connecting pipes. These sensors cannot detect the temperature of the water flowing through the supply pipe in a timely manner, resulting in slight differences between the water temperature and the output temperature. Constant-temperature bathtubs may require users to constantly adjust the water temperature to suit their needs, which can negatively impact the user experience. Constant heating and cooling to maintain the water temperature results in high energy consumption, and the indirect contact of the heating element with the water presents safety risks such as circuit failure and leakage, resulting in low safety performance.
