Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of solar water heater devices, in particular to a solar water heater with a specific rotation function. Background Art

[0002] With the development of renewable energy technology, solar water heaters have been widely used as an environmentally friendly and energy-saving hot water production device. Most existing solar water heaters use fixed heat collection components to use solar energy to heat water to provide hot water needs in homes and commercial places. Solar water heaters can reduce dependence on traditional energy and reduce energy costs.

[0003] In existing technology, some solar water heater systems primarily involve three steps: heat collection, storage, and water supply. First, a collector, such as a vacuum tube, absorbs sunlight and converts it into heat. This heat then heats water flowing through the collector, which is then transferred to a storage tank for storage before being supplied via pipes to homes or other uses. However, some solar water heaters utilize fixed collector assemblies, which place high demands on the installation location. On rooftops or balconies of some buildings, these fixed collectors may not receive sufficient sunlight due to obstruction from the surrounding environment, further reducing their energy efficiency.

[0039] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4The utility model provides an embodiment of a solar water heater with a specific rotating function, comprising a base plate 1, which is the basic supporting structure of the entire solar water heater, so that the solar water heater can be fixed at different installation locations, the top of the base plate 1 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 2, which starts the receiving and supporting function, connects the base plate 1 and the hexagonal receiving rod 3, and one end of the connecting rod 2 is fixedly connected to the hexagonal receiving rod 3, so that multiple support rods 8 can be fixedly telescopically slidable, a sliding groove 18 is provided on the outside of the connecting rod 2, and a groove is provided for sliding blocks 19 to slide on the inner wall of the connecting rod 2, and the other end of the connecting rod 2 is fixedly connected to a ring 4, so that the ball ring 5 can rotate to adjust the angle of the solar water heater panel to cope with different sunlight exposure angles, the top of the ring 4 is rotatably connected to the ball ring 5, and when it rotates at an inclined angle, its outer ring contacts the spherical contact block 9, and when the inclined angle is rotated, the multiple support rods 8 can be telescopically moved to adjust the angle of the solar water heater to cope with different installation locations, and the top of the ball ring 5 is fixedly connected to a curved rotating rod 6 , provides a bending angle, allowing the ball ring 5 to rotate at an inclined angle while ensuring its vertical rotation. The top of the bending and rotating rod 1 6 is fixedly connected with a limiting block 7. The inner wall of the hexagonal receiving rod 3 is slidably connected with multiple support rods 8 for adjusting the angle. The bottoms of the multiple support rods 8 are fixedly connected with spherical contact blocks 9. When the ball ring 5 rotates, it is allowed to telescopically move through the spherical contact blocks 9, allowing the rotating groove plate 2 12 to perform telescopic movements in different directions to adjust the angle. The outer sleeves of the multiple support rods 8 are provided with springs 10. The spring 10 provides additional elastic force for the support rod 8 to ensure that it can automatically return to its original position when subjected to external pressure. The tops of the multiple support rods 8 are rotatably connected to multiple rotating connection blocks 11. The support rods 8 at different horizontal positions lean against the rotating connection block 11 and push against the rotating groove disk 2 12 so that they can be adjusted at different angles. The top of the rotating connection block 11 is fixedly connected to the rotating groove disk 2 12, and the inner wall of the rotating connection block 11 is provided with a groove for rotating the rotating disc 3 14. The inner wall of the bottom plate 1 is threadedly connected to the bolt 3 25 for fixing the solar water heater.

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The inner wall of the rotating trough disc 2 12 is rotatably connected to the rotating disc 3 14, which rotates in the rotating trough disc 2 12 to adjust the position of the solar panel. The inner wall of the rotating disc 3 14 is threadedly connected with a plurality of bolts 13. By tightening the bolts 13, the rotating trough disc 2 12 is pressed against the rotating trough disc 2 to stop it from rotating, thereby achieving a fixing effect. The top of the rotating disc 3 14 is fixedly connected to a tail support base 15 for supporting and connecting a water tank 16 and a vacuum tube 17. One end of the tail support base 15 is fixedly connected to the water tank 16 for storing heated water. The inner wall design should be smooth and have good thermal insulation properties to reduce heat loss. The inner wall of the water tank 16 is fixedly connected to a vacuum tube 17, which can effectively collect and conduct heat.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 5 The inner wall of the connecting rod 2 is slidably connected with a sliding block 19, which slides freely in the sliding groove 18 opened in the connecting rod 2, thereby making the adjustment mechanism more flexible and easy to operate. The rotation of the top of the sliding block 19 is connected with a rotating shaft 20. The rotating shaft 20 is responsible for connecting the sliding block 19 and the rotation of the connecting rod 21, making the entire adjustment mechanism more flexible and accurate. The top of the rotating shaft 20 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 21 for rotating shaft 20 and rotating shaft 3 22, so that the block 23 can rotate so that it can be inserted into the outside of the ring of the ball ring 5 and fixed. One end of the connecting rod 21 is rotatably connected with the rotating shaft 3 22 for adjusting the angle, and the angle of the ball ring 5 is fine-tuned. One end of the rotating shaft 3 22 is fixedly connected with a block 23. In order to insert the outer ring of the ball ring 5 and stop it from rotating, the inner wall of the block 23 is threadedly connected with a bolt 24. Tighten the bolt 24 to fix the ball ring 5 and stop it from rotating.

[0043] Working Principle: First, base plate 1 serves as the basic support structure, ensuring the stability of the entire device. Connecting rods 2 extend from the top of base plate 1 and are fixedly connected to hexagonal support rods 3, providing support for the upper assembly. Connecting rods 2 are fixedly connected to ring 4, allowing ball ring 5 to rotate at a certain angle on ring 4.

[0044] Secondly, by cooperating with the curved rotating rod 1 (6) and the circular ring 4, the ball ring 5 rotates horizontally in a fixed position. The outer ring of the ball ring 5 contacts the spherical contact block 9. As the ball ring 5 rotates, the tilted outer ring of the ball ring 5 causes the connected support rod 8 to extend and retract in conjunction with the spring 10. By rotating the connecting block 11 and the rotating groove disk 2 (12), the groove disk 2 (12) follows the extension and retraction of all support rods 8 to adjust the angle of the solar water heater. Simultaneously, the sliding block 19 in the connecting rod 2 is connected to the rotating shaft 2 (20), making the adjustment mechanism more flexible. The rotating shaft 3 (22) is connected to the clamping block 23 through the connecting rod 2 (21), allowing fine adjustment of the clamping block 23 so that it can be snapped into the outer ring of the ball ring 5. Tightening the bolt 2 (24) secures the ball ring 5, fixing the support rod 8 and preventing the rotating groove disk 2 (12) from moving further. This allows the vacuum tube 17 to remain aligned with the sun, achieving the effect of fully utilizing solar energy.

[0045] Finally, rotating trough disc 2 12 is connected to rotating disc 3 14. Because the protruding portion at the bottom of rotating disc 3 14 is stuck in rotating trough disc 2 12, rotating disc 3 14 can rotate on the inner wall of rotating trough disc 2 12. Bolt 13 can fix rotating trough disc 2 12 and stop its rotation, allowing its water storage tank 16 to be kept at the top at different installation locations. The vacuum tube 17 absorbs heat to heat water, and the hot water is stored in the water storage tank 16, achieving natural convection circulation of water and allowing the water to circulate fully for heat exchange.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
