Even if a few electric water heaters are designed with a preheating module, they still have poor compatibility and cannot flexibly adapt to different water circuits. Therefore, those skilled in the art urgently need to develop a new preheating module to meet practical application needs. Utility Model Content

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0043] In one embodiment of this application, as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a front-heating module includes a connector 1, a heating element assembly 2, a right water inlet adapter 3, a left water outlet adapter 4, and a temperature control switch 5.

[0044] Specifically, the connecting seat 1 has a connecting cavity 101; the heating tube assembly 2 is located in the connecting cavity 101 and is used for heating by an external power source; the right water inlet adapter 3 is located on the right side of the connecting seat 1 and is connected to the heating tube assembly 2, and is used for connecting to an external water source; the left water outlet adapter 4 is located on the left side of the connecting seat 1 and is connected to the heating tube assembly 2, and is used for connecting to output heated water; the temperature control switch 5 is located on the upper side of the connecting seat 1 and is used to detect and control the heating temperature of the heating tube assembly 2.

[0045] This application's front-mounted heating module integrates the heating element assembly 2, the right water inlet adapter 3, the left water outlet adapter 4, and the temperature control switch 5 onto the connecting base 1, achieving a compact structural layout that facilitates installation and maintenance. Furthermore, by directly placing the heating element assembly 2 within the connecting cavity 101, it can quickly respond to external power supply and rapidly generate heat, thus achieving rapid heating. The right water inlet adapter 3 and the left water outlet adapter 4 work together to flexibly adapt to the connected water pipes. The temperature control switch 5 then monitors the temperature of the heating element assembly 2 in real time and automatically adjusts the heating power according to the set temperature range, ensuring the stability and safety of the heating temperature. This not only improves heating efficiency but also provides overheat protection; when the detected temperature exceeds the safety threshold, it automatically cuts off the power to prevent overheating and ensure safe operation.

[0046] The front-mounted heating module of this application has broad market application prospects due to its compact design, efficient heating capacity, and flexible applicability to various occasions, such as household water heaters and industrial heating equipment.

[0047] Furthermore, the upper right side of the connecting seat 1 is provided with an upper right opening 102 that communicates with the connecting cavity 101, and the upper left side is provided with an upper left opening 103 that communicates with the connecting cavity 101.

[0048] The heating tube assembly 2 includes a heating tube body 21, a right conductive electrode 22, and a left conductive electrode 23;

[0049] The right end of the heating tube 21 is connected to the right water inlet adapter 3, and its left end is connected to the left water outlet adapter 4. An electric heating film 211 is provided on its outer periphery. The electric heating film 211 on the outer wall of the heating tube 21 can quickly respond to changes in current, thereby improving heat transfer efficiency, achieving rapid heating, reducing heat loss, and thus improving the overall heating efficiency.

[0050] The right conductive electrode 22 is located on the outer right side of the heating tube 21 and is in contact with the heating film 211. Its upper side has an upper right connection portion 221 located within the upper right opening 102 for connecting to an external power source. The left conductive electrode 23 is located on the outer left side of the heating tube 21 and is in contact with the heating film 211. Its upper side has an upper left connection portion 231 located within the upper left opening 103 for connecting to an external power source. This application forms a closed circuit with the right conductive electrode 22 and the left conductive electrode 23, together with the heating tube 21 covered by the heating film 211, thereby meeting the requirement for heating upon power connection.

[0051] Furthermore, the electrothermal film 211 is a nano-electrothermal film. The preferred material for the nano-electrothermal film is nano-silver. Its advantages lie in the fact that nano-silver not only has outstanding electrical conductivity, but also features rapid heating, energy saving, high stability, and long service life.

[0052] Furthermore, both the inner surfaces of the right conductive electrode 22 and the left conductive electrode 23 are provided with a silver plating layer, or both are provided with a gold plating layer; preferably, a silver plating layer is preferred, as the advantage of silver is that it has outstanding conductivity and is cheaper than gold.

[0053] Furthermore, the temperature control switch 5 is located between the right conductive electrode 22 and the left conductive electrode 23. Its advantage lies in the ability to monitor the temperature of the heating element assembly 2 in real time via the temperature control switch 5, and automatically adjust the heating power according to the set temperature range, ensuring the stability and safety of the heating temperature. This not only improves heating efficiency but also provides overheat protection; when the temperature exceeds the safety threshold, the power supply is automatically cut off to prevent overheating and ensure safe operation.

[0054] Furthermore, there are two temperature control switches 5. This is to achieve dual detection switch control and avoid the inability to monitor and shut down the device if only one temperature control switch 5 fails.

[0055] Furthermore, the right water inlet adapter 3 is provided with a water inlet channel 31, and its front side is provided with a right front connecting external thread 32, and its left side is provided with a left protruding connecting part 33 protruding to the left.

[0056] A right sealing ring 34 for sealing connection is provided between the left convex connecting part 33 and the right side of the heating tube body 21;

[0057] The left water outlet adapter 4 is provided with a water outlet channel 41, and its front side is provided with a left front connecting external thread 42, and its right side is provided with a right protruding connecting part 43.

[0058] A left sealing ring 44 is provided between the right protruding connecting part 43 and the left side of the heating tube body 21 for sealing connection.

[0059] This application uses the right water inlet adapter 3 and the left water outlet adapter 4 together to achieve flexible adaptation to the connected water pipes, thereby greatly improving the practicality and applicability of this application.

[0060] Furthermore, the preheating module also includes a water temperature detector 6 mounted on the right water inlet adapter 3 and extending into the water inlet channel 31 for detecting the water inlet temperature. Its advantage is that the water temperature detector 6 can collect the water inlet temperature in real time; if the water inlet temperature is high, there is no need to preheat the water.

[0061] Furthermore, the heating element 21 is made of quartz glass, borosilicate glass, or ceramic, preferably quartz glass. Quartz glass has the advantages of high temperature resistance, high dielectric strength, and low coefficient of thermal expansion, making it very suitable for the application requirements of the heating element 21.
