Description

[0002] Due to the high altitude, extremely cold climate, and other harsh conditions in high-altitude and cold regions, water supply systems often face the risk of freezing water supply piles and faucets. Existing frost-resistant water supply piles typically use electric heating and insulation. However, if this approach is directly driven by photovoltaics, the temperature drops rapidly at night, making it difficult to meet operational requirements. Incorporating phase change materials into the piles for heat storage or using more economical hot water storage methods can prevent freezing. However, when the heat storage materials directly utilize water, the water evaporates during the day due to the electric heating, rapidly reducing the heat storage capacity. Therefore, the frost protection function of existing water supply piles is short-lived, making it difficult to meet the demand for long-term frost-resistant water supply. Utility Model Content

[0027] Example

[0028] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 This embodiment provides an antifreeze water supply device for automatically replenishing stored hot water, including a water delivery component 100, a heat storage pipe 200, a water outlet pipe 400 and a water supply tank 500. The water delivery component 100 is used to deliver water; the heat storage pipe 200 is sleeved on the water delivery component 100, and a sealed cavity 300 for storing water is formed between the heat storage pipe 200 and the water delivery component 100; the water outlet pipe 400 is used to discharge water; the water supply tank 500 is provided with a water inlet 510 and a water outlet 520 located below the water inlet 510, the water inlet 510 is connected to the water delivery component 100, and the water outlet 520 is connected to the sealed cavity 300, the water supply tank 500 is connected to the water outlet pipe 400, and the height of the water outlet pipe 400 is located between the height of the water inlet 510 and the height of the water outlet 520.

[0029] In this embodiment, when it is needed, the water delivery component 100 is manually operated to discharge water. At the same time, the water in the water delivery component 100 first enters the water supply tank 500 through the water inlet 510 on the water supply tank 500. Since the water outlet 520 on the water supply tank 500 is lower than the water outlet pipe 400, the water first enters the sealed cavity 300 of the heat storage tube 200 through the water outlet 520 on the water supply tank 500 until the water level in the sealed cavity 300 reaches the position of the water outlet pipe 400. At this time, the water can be discharged from the water outlet pipe 400 for use by the user. Therefore, this embodiment can complete the replenishment of water in the heat storage pipe 200 once when in use, and realize the function of automatically replenishing water in the heat storage pipe 200 when in use, so that there will be no situation where there is no hot water stored in the heat storage pipe 200 due to high-temperature evaporation during heating. Therefore, when there is electricity, heat can be stored through the hot water stored in the heat storage pipe 200. When there is no electricity, the hot water can release heat, which can make the water delivery component 100 not easily frozen, thereby extending the antifreeze function maintenance time, realizing smooth water supply, and meeting normal use in high-altitude and cold areas.

[0030] As an optional embodiment, a heating component 600 is further provided in the sealed cavity 300. The heating component 600 is used to generate heat, thereby heating the water in the heat storage tube 200 to provide antifreeze for the water delivery component 100, and will not be affected by heating evaporation. When there is no electricity, after the heating component 600 stops working, the water in the heat storage tube 200 can continue to emit heat to maintain the antifreeze function.

[0031] As an optional embodiment, the heating assembly 600 includes a heat source tube 610 and an electric heat source 620. The heat source tube 610 is used to contact the water in the sealed cavity 300; the electric heat source 620 is arranged in the heat source tube 610 and is electrically connected to the power supply.

[0032] In this embodiment, heat source pipe 610 protects electric heat source 620, which is a conventional heating cable. When powered, electric heat source 620 generates heat, thereby heating the stored water. Typically, the power source is a conventional photovoltaic panel, but other sources are also possible. Therefore, during the day, powered by the photovoltaic panel, electric heat source 620 continuously heats the stored water, maintaining the overall freeze resistance of the device. At night, both the photovoltaic panel and electric heat source 620 are deactivated, and the stored water begins to release heat, insulating the water supply device at night and preventing freezing.

[0033] As an optional embodiment, a heat preservation assembly 800 is further included, which simultaneously covers the heat storage pipe 200, the water supply tank 500 and the water outlet pipe 400. This can improve the heat preservation effect of the water delivery assembly 100, reduce heat loss, and further increase the antifreeze maintenance time.

[0034] As an optional embodiment, the insulation component 800 includes an outer shell 810 and an insulation material 820, and the heat storage pipe 200, the water supply tank 500 and the water outlet pipe 400 are all located in the outer shell 810; the insulation material 820 is filled in the outer shell 810, and the insulation material 820 simultaneously covers the heat storage pipe 200, the water supply tank 500 and the water outlet pipe 400.

[0035] In this embodiment, the outer shell 810 plays a protective role and can be made of high-hardness, corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel, surface-treated carbon steel, etc.; the thermal insulation material 820 can simultaneously cover the heat storage pipe 200, the water replenishment tank 500 and the water outlet pipe 400, and play a role in insulating the water delivery component 100, further improving the anti-freeze effect. Here, the thermal insulation material 820 can be made of polyurethane insulation cotton with strong thermal insulation performance and can be filled.

[0036] As an optional embodiment, the top of the outer shell 810 is detachably connected to a cover 830, and the cover 830 is sealed on the top of the heat storage tube 200. The cover 830 can be detachably connected by bolts, which is convenient for assembly and subsequent disassembly for internal inspection.

[0037] As an optional embodiment, the water supply assembly 100 includes a water supply pipe 110, a switch valve 120 and a rotating part 130. The bottom of the water supply pipe 110 extends out of the bottom end of the sealed cavity 300, and the water supply pipe 110 is used to transport water; the input port of the switch valve 120 is movably connected to the top of the water supply pipe 110, the output port of the switch valve 120 is connected to the water inlet 510, and the switch valve 120 is located in the sealed cavity 300; the rotating part 130 is connected to the switch valve 120, and the rotating part 130 extends out of the top of the insulation assembly 800.

[0038] In this embodiment, when water is needed, the rotating member 130 can be manually rotated to open the on-off valve 120, and water can then flow out through the water pipe 110, the on-off valve 120, and the water outlet pipe 400 for use. Here, important water supply components such as the water pipe 110 and the on-off valve 120 are all located within the sealed cavity 300 of the heat storage tube 200 to ensure antifreeze protection. It should be noted that the on-off valve 120 can be a conventional angle valve, and the inlet of the on-off valve 120 can be flexibly connected to the water pipe 110 using a conventional flexible joint adapter. The rotating member 130 can be a rotary handwheel or a faucet switch.

[0039] It should be noted that the rotating part 130 moves through the cover body 830, and the cover body 830 here is also composed of a shell and an insulating material 820 filled inside. A sealing bushing is provided between the rotating part 130 and the cover body 830, and a sealing rubber gasket is provided between the insulating material 820 in the cover body 830 and the insulating material 820 in the outer shell 810, which can further improve the sealing performance, reduce the heat loss in the heat storage pipe 200, and better ensure that the water delivery component 100 will not be frozen.

[0040] As an optional embodiment, the water delivery assembly 100 also includes a reducer 140, which is connected to the bottom of the water delivery pipe 110. The diameter of the reducer 140 is larger than the diameter of the water delivery pipe 110, and the water delivery pipe 110 extends out of the bottom end of the sealed cavity 300 through the reducer 140.

[0041] In this embodiment, since the diameter of the water supply pipe 110 is generally small and it is not easy to seal with the bottom end of the sealed cavity 300, a reducer 140 is provided here to be connected to the water supply pipe 110. When the reducer 140 with a larger diameter extends out of the bottom end of the sealed cavity 300 and is connected to the water source, it is convenient to set a sealing structure to ensure the sealing, thereby reducing the heat loss of the sealed cavity 300.

[0042] As an optional embodiment, the reducer 140 includes a connecting pipe 141, two reducing connectors 142 and a water inlet pipe 143. The diameter of the connecting pipe 141 is larger than the diameter of the water supply pipe 110; one end of the connecting pipe 141 located in the sealed cavity 300 is connected to the water supply pipe 110 through one of the reducing connectors 142, and one end of the connecting pipe 141 extending out of the sealed cavity 300 is connected to the other reducing connector 142; the water inlet pipe 143 is connected to the connecting pipe 141 through the reducing connector 142.

[0043] In this embodiment, the reducer 140 is split into a combined structure of a connecting pipe 141, two reducer connectors 142, and a water inlet pipe 143. The water inlet pipe 143 is used to connect to a water source, thereby forming a split structure that is easy to assemble (can be connected by threading), reducing the difficulty of pipe manufacturing. The diameter of the water inlet pipe 143 is generally the same as the diameter of the water pipe 110. It should be noted that since the general reducer connector 142 model cannot be directly converted to the model of the water pipe 110, the upper and lower ends are reduced in diameter. Here, the bottom of the water pipe 110 can also be reduced in diameter according to the actual size, so there is no need to provide a reducer connector 142.

[0044] As an optional embodiment, an electric fusion connection sleeve 700 is provided at the bottom of the heat storage tube 200 , the bottom of the electric fusion connection sleeve 700 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting tube 141 , and the insulation component 800 is partially covered on the electric fusion connection sleeve 700 .

[0045] In this embodiment, the entire reducer 140 can be fixed by electric fusion welding through the electric fusion connection sleeve 700, and finally form an integrated structure that is not easy to loosen, thereby ensuring the sealing of the sealing cavity 300, that is, ensuring the insulation effect, and a part of the insulation component 800 is covered on the electric fusion connection sleeve 700, that is, a part of the lower section of the electric fusion connection sleeve 700 is exposed to facilitate the electric fusion welding operation.

[0046] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and do not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
