Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a water dispenser, and more particularly to a high-efficiency step-type pressureless dual-capacity hot and warm water dispenser. Background Technology
[0002] Current step-by-step heating systems start heating from the tap water temperature. Moreover, many test data show that the initial heating process from 10℃ to 45℃ is the most power-consuming. Furthermore, traditional step-by-step systems cannot meet the demand for large-capacity warm water or even produce warm water simultaneously. Therefore, in places with a high demand for warm water, such as schools, hospitals, and military units, it is often necessary to install a separate warm water machine.
[0003] In addition, current heat exchangers use a double-pipe system with a hot water pipe surrounding a cold water pipe. This results in unstable heat exchange efficiency, significant heat loss from the outer pipe, and a small flow rate per cycle, which cannot meet the requirement of large-volume water intake in a short period of time.
[0004] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN2022204424050, published on September 27, 2022, discloses a partial heating structure with a warm water heating function, comprising: a first water tank, a heat exchange tube, a second water tank, and a heating structure; the first water tank has a first water outlet and a first water inlet, the first water inlet being connected to the outside, the heat exchange tube being installed in the first water tank, and the outlet of the heat exchange tube being connected to the outside; the second water tank has a hot water outlet, a heat exchange outlet, and a second water inlet, the second heating structure being installed in the second water tank, the second water inlet being connected to the first water outlet, the heat exchange outlet being connected to the inlet of the heat exchange tube, and the hot water outlet being connected to the outside. This structure does not store warm water, therefore, it is not suitable for continuously dispensing large quantities of warm water; especially when used on school campuses, where warm water is frequently used and water is mainly dispensed during breaks, this model is not suitable for use on school campuses.

[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0035] See Figures 1 to 9As shown, a high-efficiency step-type pressureless dual-capacity hot and warm water dispenser includes a hot water tank 6, a warm water tank 1, and a control circuit. The warm water tank 1 is equipped with a food-grade heat exchange tube 3. The two ends of the food-grade heat exchange tube 3 are provided with a first water inlet 31 and a first water outlet 32. The first water inlet 31 and the first water outlet 32 are respectively connected to the outside of the warm water tank 1 and are respectively connected to the water inlet electric control valve 4 and the inside of the hot water tank 6. The warm water tank 1 and the hot water tank 6 are respectively equipped with a first heating tube 2 and a second heating tube 7. The hot water tank 6 is provided with a hot water outlet 65, which is connected to the warm water tank 1 through a hot water pipe 20. The warm water tank 1 and the hot water tank 6 are respectively provided with a warm water outlet 12 and a hot water outlet 69. The first heating element 2 and the second heating element 7 are electrically connected to the control circuit, respectively; the warm water outlet 12 and the hot water outlet 69 are connected to the warm water nozzle and the hot water nozzle, respectively, through the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve, respectively, not shown in the figure.
[0036] The surfaces of the warm water tank 1 and the hot water tank 6 are respectively provided with a first snap-action thermostat 18 and a second snap-action thermostat 66. The warm water tank 1 and the hot water tank 6 are respectively provided with a first temperature sensor 131 and a second temperature sensor 673 for detecting water temperature data. The first snap-action thermostat 18 and the second snap-action thermostat 66 are connected in series with the power supply circuits of the first heating element 2 and the second heating element 7, respectively. The first temperature sensor 131 and the second temperature sensor 673 are electrically connected to the control circuit, respectively.
[0037] The hot water outlet 65 is located on the lower side wall of the hot water tank 6. A hot water inlet pipe 651 is installed inside the hot water tank 6, with its lower end connected to the inner end of the hot water outlet 65. The upper end of the hot water inlet pipe 651 is higher than the height of the hot water intake 69. A third temperature sensor 674 is also installed inside the hot water tank 6. The second temperature sensor 673 is installed below and close to the height of the hot water intake 69, and the third temperature sensor 674 is installed below and close to the height of the upper end of the hot water inlet pipe 651. A warm water intake 6912 is located on the lower side wall of the warm water tank 1, with the first temperature sensor 131 installed below and close to the height of the warm water intake 6912.
[0038] The internal water temperature of the warm water tank 1 is obtained by the first temperature sensor 131, and the internal water temperature of the hot water tank 6 is obtained by the second temperature sensor 673.
[0039] The food-grade heat exchange tube 3 is spirally wound and arranged in a horizontal cylindrical shape, with the first heating element 2 extending into the inner side of the cylindrical shape of the food-grade heat exchange tube 3. A cover plate 14 is provided inside the warm water tank 1 above the food-grade heat exchange tube 3. The cover plate reduces the upward radiation of the hot water temperature at the food-grade heat exchange tube 3, resulting in higher heat exchange efficiency.
[0040] Or, combine Figure 10 As shown, the food-grade heat exchange tube 3 is spirally wound and arranged in a longitudinal cylindrical shape, and the first heating tube 2 extends from the bottom of the warm water tank 1 to the inner side of the cylindrical shape of the food-grade heat exchange tube 3.
[0041] The bottom of the warm water tank 1 is provided with a hot water inlet 15, and the hot water pipe 20 is connected to the warm water tank 1 through a one-way valve 5 and the hot water inlet 15; the bottom of the hot water tank 6 is provided with a clean water inlet 62, and the first outlet 32 of the food-grade heat exchange pipe 3 is connected to the clean water inlet 62 through the clean water pipe 10 and is connected to the inside of the hot water tank 6 through the clean water inlet 62.
[0042] The warm water tank 1 has a first baffle 151 above the hot water inlet 15, and the hot water tank 6 has a second baffle 621 above the clean water inlet 62. The baffles can prevent the water from rushing upwards and the water flow after being blocked by the baffles is spread out in the plane direction, so that the heating is more uniform.
[0043] The hot water tank 6 is equipped with a high water level sensor 81 and a low water level sensor 82; the height of the low water level sensor 82 is lower than the height of the hot water inlet 69.
[0044] The bottom of the warm water tank 1 and the hot water tank 6 are respectively provided with a first vent 17 and a second vent 64. The inner ends of the first vent 17 and the second vent 64 are respectively connected to a first vent pipe 171 and a second vent pipe 641. The upper ends of the first vent pipe 171 and the second vent pipe 641 lead to the upper inner part of the warm water tank 1 and the hot water tank 6, respectively. The upper end of the second vent pipe 641 is higher than the height of the high water level sensor 81.
[0045] The warm water tank 1 and the hot water tank 6 are horizontally distributed; the warm water tank 1 and the hot water tank 6 are atmospheric pressure water tanks and are wrapped with an external heat insulation layer; the bottom of the warm water tank 1 and the hot water tank 6 are respectively provided with a first drain outlet 16 and a second drain outlet 63.
[0046] The warm water tank 1 has a first mounting bracket 11 on the back and a first grounding electrode 19 on the front; the hot water tank 6 has a second mounting bracket 61 on the back and a second grounding electrode 68 on the front.
[0047] Its working principle is as follows: After powering on, it heats and fills water in a step-by-step mode. When the low water level sensor 82 does not detect water, the water inlet control valve 4 opens and the second heating element 7 stops heating until the low water level sensor 82 detects water. When the second heating element 7 is working, the second temperature sensor 673 detects that the water temperature in the hot water tank 6 is lower than the set water temperature and stops water filling. When the second temperature sensor 673 detects that the water temperature in the hot water tank 6 reaches the set water temperature, the water inlet control valve 4 continues to open to fill water. This cycle continues until the high water level sensor 81 detects water.
[0048] After the boiling water tank 6 reaches the high water level, if the first temperature sensor 131 of the warm water tank 1 detects that the water temperature has reached the heat preservation temperature, it controls the first heating element 2 to start heating; if the temperature of the warm water tank 1 is lower than the heat preservation set temperature by a certain value: if the temperature of the boiling water tank 6 has reached the boiling water set temperature, the first heating element 2 stops heating; if the temperature of the boiling water tank 6 is lower than the boiling water set temperature by a certain value, it controls the first heating element 2 to start heating; when there is water in the warm water tank 1, the boiling water tank 6 automatically controls the second heating element 7 to heat according to the set boiling water temperature.
[0049] In addition, when the warm water tank 1 is empty, the first heating element 2 of the warm water tank 1 stops heating; when the warm water tank 1 has water and the boiling water tank 6 does not have a high water level, the first heating element 2 of the warm water tank 1 stops heating while the second heating element 7 of the boiling water tank 6 is heating; when the second heating element 7 of the boiling water tank 6 is not heating, the warm water tank 1 automatically controls the heating of the first heating element 2 according to the temperature set for heat preservation, and stops heating when the first temperature sensor 131 detects that the water temperature has reached the heat preservation temperature, and starts heating when it is lower than a certain value of the heat preservation temperature; when the boiling water tank 6 has a high water level, the warm water tank 1 stops heating when water is entering, and automatically controls the heating of the first heating element 2 according to the temperature set for heat preservation when no water is entering.
[0050] When the hot water tank 6 has no low water level, the inlet water control valve 4 opens; when the hot water tank 6 has a low water level but no high water level, the inlet water control valve 4 opens and closes in a step-by-step mode; when the hot water tank 6 has both high and low water levels and the warm water tank 1 has no water, the inlet water control valve 4 opens; when the hot water tank 6 has both high and low water levels and the warm water tank 1 has water, and the water temperature in the warm water tank 1 is higher than the set insulation temperature by a certain value, the inlet water control valve 4 opens.
