[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an instant hot water faucet heating module, including a first connector 1, a second connector 2 and a heating element;

[0032] The first connector 1 includes an integrally formed water outlet connector 11 and a first connecting sleeve 12; the upper end of the water outlet connector 11 is provided with a water outlet pipe 111, and the lower end of the water outlet connector 11 is provided with a water outlet interface 112; the first connecting sleeve 12 is disposed on the outer periphery of the water outlet interface 112.

[0033] The second connector 2 includes an integrally formed water inlet connector 21 and a second connecting sleeve 22; the upper end of the water inlet connector 21 is provided with a water inlet interface 211, and the lower end of the water inlet connector 21 is provided with a water inlet pipe 212; the second connecting sleeve 22 is disposed on the outer periphery of the water inlet interface 211.

[0034] The first connecting sleeve 12 and the second connecting sleeve 22 are detachably connected and cooperate to form a receiving cavity 13; the heating element is disposed in the receiving cavity 13, and one end of the heating element is connected to the water outlet 112, and the other end of the heating element is connected to the water inlet 211.

[0035] The instant hot water faucet heating module is provided with a first connector 1 and a second connector 2. The first connector 1 is composed of a water outlet connector 11 and a first connecting sleeve 12, and the second connector 2 is composed of a water inlet connector 21 and a second connecting sleeve 22. The water outlet connector 11 and the first connecting sleeve 12 are integrally formed, as are the water inlet connector 21 and the second connecting sleeve 22. The two ends of the heating element are respectively connected to the water outlet connector 11 and the water inlet connector 211, so that the heating element drains water through the first connector 1 and takes in water through the second connector 2. Moreover, the first connecting sleeve 12 and the second connecting sleeve 22 are connected together to form a protective sleeve, which is fitted around the outer periphery of the heating element, replacing the existing fixed sleeve. This protects the heating element and forms a supporting frame, reducing the number of parts required for installation, improving installation efficiency, and facilitating disassembly, which is beneficial for subsequent maintenance of the instant hot water faucet heating module.

[0036] The water outlet connector 11 is connected to the water outlet of an external faucet to discharge heated hot water into the instant hot water faucet heating module; the water inlet connector 211 is connected to the water inlet of an external faucet to allow water to flow into the instant hot water faucet heating module for heating.

[0037] Specifically, the water inlet interface 211 is centrally located at the water inlet connector 21, and the water inlet connector 21 is provided with a longitudinal connecting channel 213 and a transverse connecting channel 214 that are interconnected; the longitudinal connecting channel 213 is coaxially arranged with the water inlet interface 211, and the longitudinal connecting channel 213 is connected to the water inlet interface 211.

[0038] The water inlet pipe 212 is located on one side of the longitudinal connecting channel 213, and the water inlet pipe 212 is connected to the transverse connecting channel 214.

[0039] The water inlet 211 and the water inlet pipe 212 are staggered. After the water flows into the water inlet pipe 212, it first enters the horizontal connecting channel 214, and then enters the vertical connecting channel 213 through the horizontal connecting channel 214. Subsequently, it enters the water inlet connector 21 from the vertical connecting channel 213, so that the water can enter the heating element for heating.

[0040] With the above structure, the water flow can be buffered before entering the inlet connector 21, which helps to reduce the impact caused by sudden changes in water flow or pressure fluctuations, reduce the risk of damage to the pipeline and heating element, effectively stabilize the water flow, and avoid impact on the heating element 3.

[0041] Specifically, the heating element includes a heating element 3, a first terminal 4, and a second terminal 5; the first terminal 4 and the second terminal 5 are electrically connected to the heating element 3, one end of the heating element 3 is connected to the water outlet 112, and the other end of the heating element 3 is connected to the water inlet 211.

[0042] The heating element can refer to the existing heating element structure of water purifiers. The first terminal 4 and the second terminal 5 are both interfaces for power connection. Both the first terminal 4 and the second terminal 5 are connected to the power cord to transmit the power energy from the external power source to the heating element of the heating element 3, thereby starting the heating process.

[0043] Preferably, the heating element further includes heat insulation cotton 6, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the heating tube 3, and the heat insulation cotton 6 is provided with heat insulation cotton clearance holes adapted to the positions of the first terminal 4 and the second terminal 5, and the first terminal 4 and the second terminal 5 both pass through the heat insulation cotton clearance holes at the corresponding positions.

[0044] The insulation cotton 6 reduces heat loss and prevents heat from dissipating into the air through the outer wall of the heating element 3 during the heating process, thereby improving the overall thermal efficiency of the heating system. With the insulation cotton 6, more heat can be concentrated in the water to be heated, making the heating process more efficient and resulting in significant energy savings.

[0045] In addition, the heat insulation cotton 6 can effectively isolate the heat of the external environment from the heat of the heating tube 3, reducing the risk of burns to users due to contact with overheated surfaces during operation. It can also prevent other surrounding components from aging or deforming due to excessive heat, thus extending their service life.

[0046] The insulation cotton clearance hole provides space for the first terminal 4 and the second terminal 5, preventing the insulation cotton 6 from interfering with the first terminal 4 or the second terminal 5, which would prevent the first terminal 4 or the second terminal 5 from being connected to the external power source.

[0047] Furthermore, a first terminal clearance hole is provided on one side of the first connecting sleeve 12, and a second terminal clearance hole is provided on one side of the second connecting sleeve 22; the first terminal 4 protrudes from the first terminal clearance hole, and the second terminal 5 protrudes from the second terminal clearance hole;

[0048] The first connecting sleeve 12 has a first wire groove on the other side, and the second connecting sleeve 22 has a second wire groove on the other side. The first wire groove and the second wire groove cooperate to form a low-voltage wire groove 7. The low-voltage wire groove 7 is used to house the data transmission line of the heating element.

[0049] The power supply line for the heating module of the instant hot water faucet is connected to terminal 4 and terminal 5, and is a high-voltage wire, while the control circuit for controlling the heating element and the data transmission line for the heating element to send data to the control panel are low-voltage wires. This structure, separating the high-voltage wires and signal lines, reduces electromagnetic interference, ensures stable signal transmission, and prevents malfunctions or signal loss. Furthermore, during maintenance, technicians can more clearly identify and locate the source of the problem, reducing the difficulty of troubleshooting.

[0050] Furthermore, a third wire groove is provided on the other side of the first connecting sleeve 12, and a fourth wire groove is provided on the other side of the second connecting sleeve 22. The third wire groove and the fourth wire groove cooperate to form a signal wire groove 8; the signal wire groove 8 is used to house the sensor's wiring.

[0051] Similarly, separating the control circuit for the heating element and the data transmission line for the heating element to send data to the control panel makes it easier for maintenance personnel to identify and locate the source of the problem, further reducing the difficulty of troubleshooting.

[0052] Specifically, the first connecting sleeve 12 has a connecting platform 121 near its lower end, and the connecting platform 121 has a through hole 122; the second connecting sleeve 22 has a mounting base 221 near its upper end, and the mounting base 221 has a screw hole that matches the position of the through hole 122; the lower end of the first connecting sleeve 12 is embedded into the upper end of the second connecting sleeve 22, and the first connecting sleeve 12 and the second connecting sleeve 22 are detachably connected by the cooperation of screws, through hole 122 and screw hole.

[0053] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the first connecting sleeve 12 and the second connecting sleeve 22 are connected by screws. The sidewall of the first connecting sleeve 12 is recessed inward, forming a connecting platform 121 near the lower end of the first connecting sleeve 12; the upper end of the second connecting sleeve 22 is provided with mounting seats 221 that match the position and number of connecting platforms 121. The screws pass through the through holes 122 of the connecting platforms 121 and are threadedly connected to the screw holes of the mounting seats 221, so that the connecting platforms 121 are tightly pressed against the mounting seats 221, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the first connecting sleeve 12 and the second connecting sleeve 22. Specifically, the front side of the first connecting sleeve 12 is provided with two connecting platforms 121, and the upper end of the second connecting sleeve 22 is provided with two mounting seats 221 respectively. The position and number of connecting platforms 121 and mounting seats 221 can be adjusted according to existing conditions, and are not limited here.

[0054] This utility model also provides an instant hot water faucet, which uses the above-mentioned instant hot water faucet heating module.

[0055] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort, and these equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
