Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric water faucets, in particular to an electric water faucet with a constant temperature water outlet function. Background Art

[0002] Electric water faucets have the advantages of fast and continuous hot water delivery, and are therefore increasingly being used by users. When the water flow through the electric water faucet changes during use, the electric water faucet uses a thyristor (SCR) located within the faucet to adjust the heating power of the electric heating tube within the faucet. Currently, electric water faucets on the market include a housing assembly, an electric heating tube, and a water valve. The water valve is connected to the housing assembly, which includes a water heating chamber within the housing assembly. The heating end of the electric heating tube extends into the water heating chamber, and the water outlet end of the water valve communicates with one end of the water heating chamber. The housing assembly is provided with a water outlet that communicates with the middle of the length of the water heating chamber. However, in the aforementioned electric water faucet structure, because the water outlet communicates with and delivers water from the middle of the length of the water heating chamber, tap water from the water valve may not fully flow through the heating end of the electric heating tube and the water heating chamber, but may be discharged from the water outlet. This affects the heating effect and heating uniformity of the tap water by the electric heating tube, making it difficult to maintain a constant temperature of the water flowing out of the electric water faucet. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an electric water tap with a constant temperature water outlet function, which has the advantage of good constant temperature water outlet effect.

[0005] After adopting the above structure, the utility model has the upper end of the guide tube extending to the upper end of the water heating chamber, and the water outlet end of the water inlet channel extending to the lower end of the water heating chamber, so that the tap water from the water inlet channel can completely flow through the heating end of the electric heating tube and the water heating chamber and then be discharged from the guide tube and the water outlet, that is, it can improve the heating effect and heating uniformity of the electric heating tube on the tap water, and further improve the constant temperature effect when the electric water faucet is discharging water.

[0006] In one possible embodiment, the end cover is threadedly connected to the opening at the lower end of the water heating chamber and is screwed to the water heating chamber, and the end cover is circumferentially sealed to the lower end of the water heating chamber by a sealing gasket; by adopting this structure, the end cover can be reliably fixed at the lower end of the water heating chamber, and under the action of the sealing gasket, the purpose of circumferential sealing can be reliably achieved between the end cover and the lower end of the water heating chamber; in addition, after the end cover is removed, the inner wall of the water heating chamber and the electric heating tube can be cleaned.

The heat generated during operation can be used to dissipate heat reliably for the thyristor, thereby effectively avoiding overheating and damage to the thyristor, and thus increasing the service life of the electric water faucet. Furthermore, when the tap water flowing through the connecting pipe dissipates heat for the thyristor, the heat from the thyristor can also preheat the tap water flowing through the connecting pipe, that is, it can achieve the purpose of saving energy.
