DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the utility model.

[0023] Embodiment one, this embodiment aims to promote the solution to the existing water purifier step-by-step heating mode, there is low heat recovery efficiency, large power consumption, and the heating body and heating relay 136 or AC contactor short service life, high failure rate problem, please refer to Figures 1-4 , Z type energy-saving and environment-friendly efficient heating structure, including hot pot 110, heating rod 111 and main control board 112, heating rod 111 is installed in hot pot 110, main control board 112 is arranged on hot pot 110, hot pot 110 is connected with first pipeline 113, second pipeline 114, third pipeline 115, fourth pipeline 116.

[0024] The first pipeline 113 is provided with a drain electromagnetic valve 117, and the drain electromagnetic valve 117 is provided with a drain connecting pipe 118 on the side, the second pipeline 114 is provided with a water supplementing electromagnetic valve 119, and the water supplementing electromagnetic valve 119 is provided with a water inlet connecting pipe 120 on the side, the water inlet connecting pipe 120 is provided with a water inlet electromagnetic valve 121 at the end, the third pipeline 115 is provided with a drain hose 122, and the drain hose 122 is provided with a drain connecting pipe 123 at the end, the fourth pipeline 116 is connected with an exhaust connecting pipe 124 at the other end, and the exhaust connecting pipe 124 is provided with an exhaust hose 125 at the end.

[0025] When the start-up working process is executed, the power supply switch is opened, the power supply adapter is powered on, the main control board 112 is powered on to enter the self-checking program, and the relay 136 and the low-position sensing float ball enter the standby state.

[0026] When the empty-pot water supplementing process is executed, the main control board 112 detects that the low-position sensing float ball of the switch control rod 126 does not float up, and the main control board 112 issues an instruction to power on the water supplementing electromagnetic valve 119, and simultaneously detects the water supplementing time of the electromagnetic valve. If the low-position sensing float ball of the switch control rod 126 does not float up within T1 time, which is a specific value determined according to the size of the hot pot 110, a fault code is reported, indicating that the water supplementing fails or the liquid level switch fails. If the low-position sensing float ball of the switch control rod 126 floats up within T1 time, the next working process is entered.

[0027] When the empty step heating water replenishment process is executed, the main control board 112 receives the low position sensing float ball float up instruction of the switch control rod 126, issues a power-off instruction to the water replenishment electromagnetic valve 119, and simultaneously issues a power-on instruction to the relay 136. After the relay 136 is powered on, the heating rod 111 is indirectly controlled to be powered on to enter the working state. At the same time, the main control board 112 monitors the temperature change detected by the over-temperature sensor 137 in real time. When the water in the water tank is heated to the set maximum temperature, the main control board 112 issues a power-on instruction to the water replenishment electromagnetic valve 119, executes the water replenishment X seconds, and stops the water replenishment Y seconds program. During the Y second water replenishment stop time period, the main control board 112 monitors the temperature change of the over-temperature sensor 137. It is particularly noted that the relay 136 and the heating rod 111 are in the power-on working state during the water replenishment period and are not powered off. The above water replenishment program is repeatedly executed, and the water temperature in the hot tank 110 is reduced by F degrees to stop the water replenishment. The above water replenishment program is repeatedly executed, and the high position sensing float ball 127 of the switch control rod 126 floats, and the water temperature in the hot tank 110 reaches the set temperature. The main control board 112 issues a power-off instruction to the relay 136, and the heating rod 111 is synchronously powered off to stop working. The main control board 112 enters the temperature maintaining state, and simultaneously monitors the temperature change of the over-temperature sensor 137 in real time. When the water temperature is reduced by F1 degrees, the main control board 112 issues a power-on instruction to the relay 136 again. After the relay 136 is powered on, the heating rod 111 is indirectly controlled to be powered on to enter the working state. When the water temperature in the hot tank 110 reaches the set temperature again, the main control board 112 enters the temperature maintaining state again. In the temperature maintaining state, the display screen only displays the maximum set temperature of the heating temperature maintaining state. In the heating state, the display screen displays the real-time detection temperature of the over-temperature sensor 137.

[0028] When the dry heating protection working process is executed, the device appears the dry heating or empty heating phenomenon. The hot tank 110304 stainless steel shell rapidly conducts heat to the over-temperature protection temperature control. The over-temperature protection temperature control rapidly disconnects and cuts off the power supply circuit of the relay 136. The relay 136 is disconnected and cuts off the power supply of the heating rod 111. The heating rod 111 stops heating, thereby playing a role in dry heating protection.

[0029] When the water mixing prevention working process is executed, the water level in the hot tank 110 is at a low water level or in the step heating water supply state. The main control board 112 issues a power-on instruction to the water replenishment electromagnetic valve 119. The water replenishment electromagnetic valve 119 is opened. Since the water supply pressure is relatively large, a water distribution piece is arranged here to uniformly distribute the water in the water supply pipeline, so that the cold and hot mixed water is in a low water layer, and the mixed water is prevented from reaching the water discharge layer, thereby ensuring the water safety of the user.

[0030] When the exhaust overflow process is performed, the water machine is in a step water replenishment and heating state, and a large amount of water vapor is generated in the process of heating the water. In order to prevent the hot tank 110 from being deformed or even negatively pressure burst due to the steam mechanical energy, an exhaust overflow port is specially set. When steam is generated in the hot tank 110, the steam is discharged into the air through the exhaust overflow port to balance the air pressure inside and outside the hot tank 110. At the same time, when the water replenishment valve or the electric control board fails to close the water replenishment source, the excess water in the hot tank 110 can also be discharged through the exhaust overflow port to prevent the internal circuit of the machine from being short-circuited due to the water being discharged at the top.

[0031] When the water discharge process in the heat preservation state is performed, the hot water touch key on the touch main control board 112 is touched, the touch main control board 112 receives the instruction, and the water discharge electromagnetic valve 117 is instructed to be powered on. After the water discharge electromagnetic valve 117 is powered on, the waterway is opened, and the water outlet discharges water.

[0032] When the moving and emptying process is performed, the block of the emptying silica gel hose is opened, the water in the hot tank 110 is emptied, and after the water in the hot tank 110 is emptied, the installation position of the equipment can be moved.

[0033] In the embodiment, through the cooperative work of the plurality of electromagnetic valves and sensors, the water level, water temperature and water flow can be accurately controlled. The relay 136 controls the work of the heating rod 111 to ensure that the heating rod 111 is only heated when needed, avoiding energy waste. The heating efficiency can be improved by gradually heating, and the energy consumption can be reduced. The over-temperature sensor 137 can prevent the water temperature from being too high to avoid safety hazards. The use of electromagnetic valves and sensors improves the safety of the system.

[0034] Embodiment two is intended to promote the solution to the problem that the installation mode of the heating rod 111 can be relatively complex, causing inconvenience in disassembly and maintenance. The embodiment is an improvement based on embodiment one. For details, please refer to Figures 1-4 The relay 136 is electrically connected with the heating rod 111, the heating rod 111 is provided with a mounting plate 140 for convenient installation, the hot tank 110 is provided with a mounting hole 141 corresponding to the heating rod 111, and the heating rod 111 is inserted into the hot tank 110 through the mounting hole 141. The mounting plate 140 and the hot tank 110 are both provided with a threaded hole 142, and a screw rod 143 is inserted into the threaded hole 142. The threaded hole 142 and the mounting hole 141 are both provided with a sealing ring 144, and the sealing ring 144 is a rubber ring.

[0035] In the embodiment, the fixing process of the heating rod 111 is simplified by installing the mounting plate 140 at the end of the heating rod 111, the heating rod 111 is inserted into the hot barrel 110 through the mounting hole 141, and is fixed through the threaded hole 142 and the screw rod 143, a quick and reliable mounting mode is provided, the mounting hole 141 corresponding to the heating rod 111 is arranged on the hot barrel 110, the accurate installation of the heating rod 111 is ensured, and installation deviation is avoided.
