Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of solar water heaters, and in particular relates to a solar water heater with a dust removal structure. Background Art
[0002] A solar water heater converts sunlight into heat, heating water from low temperatures to high temperatures to meet people's hot water needs in daily life and production. Solar water heaters are categorized by structure into vacuum tube and flat plate types, with the vacuum tube type being the most common. Vacuum tube household solar water heaters consist of a heat collecting tube, a water storage tank, a bracket, and other components. The conversion of solar energy into heat relies primarily on vacuum tubes, which utilize the principle that hot water rises and cold water sinks, creating a microcirculation of water to produce the desired hot water.
[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN215675887U discloses a solar water heater with intelligent dust removal, including a water heater body, a heat collecting tube, a mounting frame and an automatic dust removal device for the solar water heater; the water heater body and the heat collecting tube are mounted on the mounting frame, and the heat collecting tubes are connected to the water heater body at intervals to form a heating circulation water path; the automatic dust removal device for the solar water heater is mounted on the mounting frame and is located above the heat collecting tube. The utility model can automatically clean the solar water heater, is simple to operate, and is highly practical. The designed brush head structure has a good dust removal effect, which ensures that the solar water heater can fully absorb light energy and avoids dust blocking the light line of sight, greatly improving the service life of the solar water heater. Moreover, through the elastic force of the buffer spring itself, the buffer plate can be squeezed well to drive the cleaning brush to contact the solar water heater, thereby improving the cleaning degree. The dust removal brush head in this application cleans the heat collecting tube through the horizontal rail and the vertical rail, so that it is arranged on the side of the heat collecting tube. When the sun shines obliquely, the vertical rail will block the sunlight of the heat collecting tube, affecting the heat conversion of the heat collecting tube.
