Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar water heater technology, specifically to a high-efficiency, energy-saving, and freeze-resistant solar water heater. Background Technology
[0002] A solar water heater is a heating device that converts solar energy into heat energy, heating water from a low temperature to a high temperature to meet people's hot water needs in daily life and production. Solar water heaters are classified into collector tube solar water heaters and flat plate solar water heaters according to their structure, with collector tube solar water heaters being the most common. A collector tube household solar water heater consists of collector tubes, a water storage tank, and related components such as a support frame. The conversion of solar energy into heat energy mainly relies on vacuum collector tubes. Vacuum collector tubes utilize the principle that hot water rises and cold water sinks to create a micro-circulation of water and obtain the required hot water.
[0003] According to patent publication number CN 110500792 B, a solar water heater with a rotating effect is disclosed. This device uses a controller to determine whether the light intensity sensed by the first and second photosensors is the same. If they are the same, the controller will control the electromagnetic brake motor to drive the solar water heater body to rotate until the light intensity sensed by the first and second photosensors is different. When the light intensity sensed by the first and second photosensors is different, it means that the second photosensor is blocked by the first photosensor. At this time, the sunlight shines directly on the solar water heater body, and the solar water heater body receives the strongest light and absorbs the most light. However, when using this device in winter, due to the low temperature at night, the cold water in the storage tank is prone to freezing, which affects the subsequent use of the device.
[0004] To address this issue, we propose a high-efficiency, energy-saving, and freeze-resistant solar water heater. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0031] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a high-efficiency, energy-saving, and freeze-resistant solar water heater, including a base 1, a connecting seat 2 rotatably connected to the upper part of the base 1 via bearings, a mounting bracket 4 fixedly installed on the upper part of the connecting seat 2, a water storage tank 5 fixedly installed on the upper part of the mounting bracket 4, a tank cover 6 fixedly installed on the side wall of the water storage tank 5, and a connecting assembly 3 disposed on the upper part of the base 1. The connecting assembly 3 includes an anti-freeze mechanism 31 disposed on the upper part of the base 1, an adjustment mechanism 32 disposed on the upper part of the base 1, and a heat collection tube connected to one side of the water storage tank 5. The anti-freeze mechanism 31 includes a heat collection tube connected to the casing. A first motor 311 is fixedly installed on the outside of the box cover 6. A rotating shaft 312 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 311. An installation sleeve 313 is fitted on the outside of the rotating shaft 312. A stirring rod 314 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the installation sleeve 313. A pressing rod 315 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the installation sleeve 313 through the rotating rod. An inclined pressing ring 316 is fixedly connected to the inside of the box cover 6. A sliding groove 317 is opened on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 312. A sliding rod 318 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 317. A slider 319 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod 318. A spring 3110 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 317.
[0034] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 312 is rotatably connected to the box cover 6 via a bearing.
[0035] Furthermore, one end of the spring 3110 is fixedly connected to the slider 319, and the outer side of the slider 319 is fixedly connected to the mounting sleeve 313. Through the cooperation of the first motor 311, the rotating shaft 312, the mounting sleeve 313, the stirring rod 314, the pressing rod 315, the inclined pressing ring 316, the sliding groove 317, the sliding rod 318, the slider 319, and the spring 3110, the stirring rod 314 can reciprocate left and right during rotation, thereby stirring the cold water inside the water storage tank 5. By stirring the cold water, it is less likely to freeze, thus making it easier to use later.
[0036] Furthermore, the pressure bar 315 is positioned to contact the inclined pressure ring 316.
[0037] When in use, the device drives the rotating shaft 312 to rotate via the first motor 311. Under the limiting action of the sliding rod 318 and the slider 319, the mounting sleeve 313 can rotate synchronously, thereby causing the stirring rod 314, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting sleeve 313, to rotate synchronously. This allows for the initial stirring of the cold water in the water storage tank 5. Simultaneously, the rotation of the mounting sleeve 313 causes the pressure rod 315 to slide relative to the inclined pressure ring 316. Subsequently, under the action of the spring 3110, the stirring rod 314 can reciprocate left and right during the rotation, thereby stirring the cold water inside the water storage tank 5. By stirring the cold water, it is less likely to freeze, making it easier to use later.
[0038] Example 2
[0039] Based on Example 1, a preferred embodiment of the high-efficiency, energy-saving, and freeze-resistant solar water heater provided by this utility model is as follows: Figures 1 to 6 As shown: The adjustment mechanism 32 includes a slide rail 321 fixedly installed on the upper part of the mounting frame 4. A second motor 322 is fixedly installed on one side of the slide rail 321 through the housing. A lead screw 323 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 322. A connecting block 324 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide rail 321. A cleaning brush 325 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the connecting block 324. A third motor 326 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the base 1. An annular groove 327 is opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the base 1. A support column 328 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the annular groove 327. A ball bearing 329 is provided at the bottom of the support column 328. A rain shield 3210 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting seat 2.
[0040] In this embodiment, the lead screw 323 is rotatably connected to the slide rail 321 via a bearing, and the connecting block 324 is threaded onto the outer wall of the lead screw 323. Through the cooperation of the slide rail 321, the second motor 322, the lead screw 323, the connecting block 324, and the cleaning brush 325, dust removal can be performed on the upper part of the heat collection tube, thereby improving the working efficiency of the heat collection tube. At the same time, through the cooperation of the third motor 326, the annular groove 327, the support column 328, the ball bearing 329, and the rain shield 3210, the heat collection tube set on the upper part of the connecting seat 2 can be rotated and adjusted, thereby improving the angle at which the heat collection tube receives sunlight and enhancing the working efficiency of the heat collection tube. Meanwhile, under the action of the ball bearing 329, the relative friction between the connecting seat 2 and the base 1 can be reduced, making the rotation adjustment of the connecting seat 2 more convenient, thus saving the energy consumption of the third motor 326 and increasing the applicability of the device.
[0041] Furthermore, the output end of the third motor 326 is fixedly connected to the connector 2.
[0042] Furthermore, the top of the support column 328 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 2, and the ball bearing 329 is in contact with the bottom of the inner wall of the annular groove 327.
[0043] Furthermore, there are several support columns 328, which are equidistantly distributed within the base 1.
[0044] When cleaning of the heat collection tube is required, the second motor 322 drives the lead screw 323 to reciprocate, which allows the connecting block 324, threaded to the outer wall of the second motor 322, to slide within the slide rail 321. This allows the cleaning brush 325, fixedly connected to the upper part of the connecting block 324, to remove dust from the surface of the heat collection tube, thereby improving the working efficiency of the heat collection tube. Furthermore, the third motor 326 drives the connecting seat 2 to rotate, allowing the heat collection tube located on the upper part of the connecting seat 2 to rotate and adjust, thereby improving the angle at which the heat collection tube receives sunlight and further enhancing its working efficiency. The rotation of the connecting seat 2 also causes the support column 328, fixedly connected to the lower part of the connecting seat 2, to rotate synchronously. This causes the ball bearings 329 located below the support column 328 to rotate synchronously in the annular groove 327. The ball bearings 329 reduce the relative friction between the connecting seat 2 and the base 1, making the rotation adjustment of the connecting seat 2 more convenient, thus saving energy consumption of the third motor 326 and increasing the applicability of the device.
