Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen and bathroom products technology, and in particular to a water heating faucet. Background Technology
[0002] Faucets are frequently used in daily life to meet people's needs for drinking and washing. In terms of technology, faucets generally only provide cold water, but hot water is needed in many places, especially in cold winters. Previously, people could only obtain hot water through electric water heaters or kettles, which was inconvenient. Currently, there are instant electric water faucets on the market. These faucets typically include a faucet body connected to the water pipe, a rotary switch, and a spout. The faucet body has a water storage chamber containing a heating element. While these instant electric water faucets can provide hot water instantly, they require more space due to the added water storage chamber compared to ordinary faucets, resulting in a bulkier and less aesthetically pleasing design. Furthermore, the heating capacity of their heating element is limited, producing relatively low-temperature water, making them less practical.
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this application is: how to solve the problems of bulky size and limited heating capacity of existing water heaters. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water heating faucet, which has the characteristics of compact structure and high heating efficiency.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a heated water tap, including a housing, a water supply heating mechanism and a control component installed on the housing, the housing having an inlet and an outlet, the water supply heating mechanism including a heating element and an outlet component built into the housing, the heating element having a heating core and a spiral heating water channel arranged around the heating core, the input end of the spiral heating water channel being connected to the inlet, the outlet component having an input pipe and an output nozzle, the input pipe being connected to the output end of the spiral heating water channel, the output nozzle passing through the outlet and being connected to the outside, the control component including a control board and a valve core, the control board being built into the housing, the control board being electrically connected to the heating element, and the valve core being connected to the output end of the spiral heating water channel and the input pipe.
[0006] This utility model of a heated water faucet, by setting a spiral heating water channel inside the heating element, can extend the water flow path as much as possible within a limited space. Furthermore, the spiral heating water channel is arranged around the heating core, which allows the water to fully contact the heating core, meaning the water flow can be fully heated. This allows the faucet to heat water instantly upon opening, ensuring heating effect and efficiency, while also making the overall structure of the faucet more compact and the overall shape more aesthetically pleasing. In addition, the water flow rate can be controlled by the valve core, thereby controlling the hot water temperature, making operation convenient.
[0007] In some embodiments, the water outlet is provided with a water vapor separation chamber, which is provided with a pressure relief component, a first baffle, and a second baffle. The pressure relief component is arranged opposite to the input pipe. The first baffle is located on the side of the pressure relief component away from the input pipe and is connected to the top of the water vapor separation chamber. The second baffle is located on the side of the first baffle away from the first baffle and is connected to the bottom of the water vapor separation chamber. The outlet is provided with a water flow channel and a steam channel. The water flow channel is located between the first baffle and the second baffle, and the steam channel is located on the side of the second baffle away from the first baffle.
[0008] Using the above technical solution, the heated hot water enters the water-vapor separation chamber through the input pipe and is depressurized by the pressure relief component. Then, it is separated by the first baffle and the second baffle, causing the hot water to flow downward and the steam to rise. Finally, the hot water enters the water flow channel and the steam enters the steam channel for diversion and discharge. This ensures that the steam does not affect the water flow, making the water flow straighter and smoother.
[0009] In some embodiments, the water supply heating mechanism also includes a pump body built into the housing, with the input end of the pump body connected to the water inlet and the output end connected to the input end of the spiral heating water channel.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the pump body can provide pressure to the water flow. When the water pressure is insufficient, the pump body can be used to increase the pressure. At the same time, the temperature of the hot water can be controlled by controlling the power of the pump body.
[0011] In some implementations, the control assembly also includes a thermostat electrically connected to the control board and mounted in the middle of the heating element.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the temperature of the heating element can be detected by the thermostat to prevent dry burning. By placing the thermostat in the middle of the heating element, the temperature detection can be made more accurate.
[0013] In some embodiments, the control assembly also includes a knob protruding from the housing, the knob being connected to the valve core.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the opening and closing of the valve core and the degree of opening and closing can be controlled by rotating the knob, making the operation more convenient.
[0015] In some embodiments, the control assembly further includes a display panel and a cover, the display panel being electrically connected to the control panel, and the cover covering the display panel.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up a display panel, users can easily understand parameters such as hot water temperature and flow rate in real time, making it more intuitive.
[0017] In some implementations, a light-shielding element is also provided between the display panel and the face cover.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, light leakage can be avoided by setting up light-blocking components, thus ensuring the display effect.
[0019] In some embodiments, the housing includes a main support and a secondary support, one end of the secondary support is connected to the main support, the water inlet is located on the main support, the water outlet is located on the secondary support, the outer shell is fitted on the surface of the main support, the heating element and the control board are respectively located on both sides of the main support, the valve core is located at the connection between the main support and the secondary support, and the water outlet is located at the end of the secondary support away from the main support.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the heating element and the control board are placed on both sides of the main bracket. On the one hand, the space inside the shell can be fully utilized, making the structure more compact. On the other hand, the heat of the heating element can be prevented from being transferred to the control board, which can ensure that the control board can operate smoothly and extend its service life.
[0021] In some embodiments, the main support is covered by a first inner shell and a second inner shell on both sides, the first inner shell is covered with a heating element, and the second inner shell is covered with a control plate.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a first inner shell and a second inner shell, heat can be blocked from being transferred to the outer shell, making it safer.
[0023] In some implementations, the end of the main support away from the secondary support is provided with external threads.
[0024] The above technical solution facilitates the installation of heated water faucets by using external threads. Attached Figure Description

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 6 A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a heated water tap 100, comprising a housing 10, a water supply and heating mechanism 20 mounted on the housing 10, and a control component 30. The housing 10 has an inlet 11 and an outlet 12. The water supply and heating mechanism 20 includes a heating element 21 and an outlet element 22 built into the housing 10. The heating element 21 has a heating core 211 and a spiral heating water channel 212 arranged around the heating core 211. The input end of the spiral heating water channel 212 is connected to the inlet 11. The outlet element 22 has an input pipe 221 and an output nozzle 222. The input pipe 221 is connected to the output end of the spiral heating water channel 212. The output nozzle 222 passes through the outlet 12 and is connected to the outside. The control component 30 includes a control board 31 and a valve core 32. The control board 31 is built into the housing 10 and is electrically connected to the heating element 21. The valve core 32 connects the output end of the spiral heating water channel 212 and the input pipe 221. The heated water faucet 100 of this application extends the water flow path as much as possible within a limited space by setting a spiral heating water channel 212 inside the heating element 21. Furthermore, the spiral heating water channel 212 surrounds the heating core 211, allowing the water to fully contact the heating core 211, meaning the water flow can be fully heated. This enables the faucet to heat water instantly upon opening, ensuring heating effect and efficiency while also making the overall structure of the faucet more compact and the overall shape more aesthetically pleasing. In addition, the water flow rate can be controlled by the valve core 32, thereby controlling the hot water temperature and making operation convenient.
[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 6As shown, the water outlet 22 has a water vapor separation chamber 223 inside. The water vapor separation chamber 223 contains a pressure relief component 224, a first baffle 225, and a second baffle 226. The pressure relief component 224 is positioned opposite the input pipe 221. The first baffle 225 is located on the side of the pressure relief component 224 away from the input pipe 221, with one end connected to the top of the water vapor separation chamber 223 and the other end extending towards the bottom of the water vapor separation chamber 223 but not connected to it. The second baffle... The second baffle 226 is located on the side of the first baffle 225 away from the first baffle 225. One end of the second baffle 226 is connected to the bottom of the water-vapor separation chamber 223, and the other end extends towards the top of the water-vapor separation chamber 223 but is not connected to the top of the water-vapor separation chamber 223. The outlet 222 is provided with a water flow channel 227 and a steam channel 228. The water flow channel 227 is located between the first baffle 225 and the second baffle 226, and the steam channel 228 is located on the side of the second baffle 226 away from the first baffle 225. The heated hot water enters the water-vapor separation chamber 223 through the inlet pipe 221 and is depressurized by the pressure relief component 224. Then, it is separated by the first baffle 225 and the second baffle 226, causing the hot water to flow downward and the steam to rise. Finally, the hot water enters the water flow channel 227 and the steam enters the steam channel 228 for diversion and discharge. This ensures that the steam does not affect the water flow, making the water flow straighter and smoother.
[0037] Preferably, the pressure relief component 224 is a cylinder, meaning its side surface is curved. This allows the water flow to be diverted along the curved surface when impacted by the pressure relief component 224, preventing backflow into the inlet pipe 221 and affecting the water intake of the outlet pipe. The side surface of the pressure relief component 224 can also be beveled, for example, an arrow-shaped or trumpet-shaped bevel with its tip pointing towards the inlet pipe 221, which also serves to divert pressure and reduce backflow.
[0038] In one embodiment, the water supply heating mechanism 20 further includes a pump body 23 built into the housing 10. The input end of the pump body 23 is connected to the water inlet 11, and the output end is connected to the input end of the spiral heating water channel 212. By setting the pump body 23, pressure can be provided to the water flow. When the water pressure is insufficient, the pump body 23 can be used to increase the pressure to ensure the water output. At the same time, the temperature of the hot water can be controlled by controlling the power of the pump body 23.
[0039] Preferably, the control component 30 further includes a thermostat 33, which is electrically connected to the control board 31 and is installed in the middle of the heating element 21. The thermostat 33 can detect the temperature of the heating element 21 to prevent dry burning, and placing the thermostat 33 in the middle of the heating element 21 makes the temperature detection more accurate.
[0040] To facilitate control of the valve core 32, the control assembly 30 also includes a knob 34 protruding from the housing 10, which is connected to the valve core 32. By rotating the knob 34, the opening and closing of the valve core 32 and the degree of opening can be controlled, making operation more convenient.
[0041] In other embodiments, the valve core 32 may also be configured as a solenoid valve.
[0042] In one embodiment, the control component 30 further includes a display panel 35 and a cover 36. The display panel 35 is electrically connected to the control board 31, and the cover 36 covers the display panel 35. By setting up the display panel 35, users can easily understand parameters such as the temperature and flow rate of hot water in real time, making it more intuitive.
[0043] In other embodiments, the display panel 35 may also be configured as a touch display panel 35, allowing the user to control the faucet by touching the faceplate 36.
[0044] Preferably, a light-shielding member 37 is also provided between the display panel 35 and the cover 36. By providing the light-shielding member 37, light leakage can be prevented, thus ensuring the display effect.
[0045] Specifically, the housing 10 includes a main support 13 and a secondary support 14. One end of the secondary support 14 is connected to the main support 13. The water inlet 11 is located on the main support 13, and the water outlet 12 is located on the secondary support 14. A housing 15 is fitted onto the surface of the main support 13. The heating element 21 and the control board 31 are respectively located on both sides of the main support 13. The valve core 32 is located at the connection between the main support 13 and the secondary support 14. The water outlet 22 is located at the end of the secondary support 14 away from the main support 13. By placing the heating element 21 and the control board 31 on both sides of the main support 13, the internal space of the housing 10 can be fully utilized, making the structure more compact. At the same time, it can prevent the heat of the heating element 21 from being transferred to the control board 31, ensuring that the control board 31 can operate smoothly and extending its service life.
[0046] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the heating element 21 is arranged along the axial direction of the main support 13, and the input end of the heating element 21 is located at the bottom and the output end is located at the top. This can increase the resistance of water flow. Combined with the spiral heating water channel 212, it can prolong the time that the water stays inside the heating element 21, so that the water is fully heated, which is beneficial to improving heating efficiency.
[0047] In one embodiment, the secondary bracket 14 is arranged perpendicularly to the main bracket 13, and the knob 34, display panel 35, water outlet 22, panel and light shield 37 are mounted on the secondary bracket 14.
[0048] Furthermore, the main support 13 is covered by a first inner shell 16 and a second inner shell on both sides, respectively. The first inner shell 16 covers the heating element 21, and the second inner shell covers the control board 31. By setting the first inner shell 16 and the second inner shell, heat can be blocked from being transferred to the outer shell 15, which is safer. Because the first inner shell 16 and the second inner shell cover the main support 13, they can form two independent chambers, which can block the heat transfer to the surface of the outer shell 15, preventing users from being scalded when using the faucet. It can also minimize the impact of heat on the control board 31 and extend the service life of the control board 31.
[0049] Preferably, the end of the main bracket 13 away from the secondary bracket 14 is provided with an external thread 18. The external thread 18 facilitates the installation of the hot water faucet 100.
[0050] Preferably, the main support 13 is also provided with a mounting groove for mounting the pump body 23. By providing the mounting groove, the installation and positioning of the pump body 23 can be facilitated.
[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
