TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of drinking water equipment, in particular to a heat tank and a water supply device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the drinking water equipment industry, the heat tank, as a key component for heating and storing hot water, plays a crucial role in ensuring that users can quickly obtain drinking water at a suitable temperature. Traditional heat tank designs usually include an internal heat exchange medium circulation system that uses water or other high-efficiency heat-conducting liquids as heat exchange media. After being heated to a certain temperature in the heating device, the heat exchange media enter the heat exchanger through specific pipes. In the heat exchanger, the high-temperature heat exchange media exchange heat with the externally input cold water, thereby achieving the first heating of the drinking water. This process greatly improves heating efficiency and ensures rapid response to user demand.
[0003] The working principle of the heat tank is based on heat conduction. Through the circulation of internal heat exchange media, heat is efficiently and uniformly transferred to the externally entering drinking water, significantly improving the speed and efficiency of drinking water heating.

[0004] However, despite the significant achievements of traditional heat tanks in improving heating efficiency, they still face some challenges in actual application. In particular, when the heat tank performs backwater operation, the pipe diameter of the backwater pipeline is usually small, causing significant water flow disturbance in the tank. This not only affects the stability of the temperature field inside the heat tank, but also may cause safety hazards such as water flow impact, vibration, and possible equipment damage.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0039] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application.
[0040] The embodiment provides a hot pot, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown, including heat tank body 1, heat exchange medium extraction pipe 2 and heat exchange medium return pipe 3, the inner cavity with hollow structure is formed in heat tank body 1, the inner cavity is used for storing heat exchange medium, the heat exchange medium is used for heat exchange of drinking water after being heated, the function of fast heating drinking water is achieved, to meet the demand of drinking water equipment for hot water; The end of heat exchange medium extraction pipe 2 and heat exchange medium return pipe 3 extends into the inner cavity, wherein heat exchange medium extraction pipe 2 is used for extracting the upper heat exchange medium of the inner cavity, heat exchange medium return pipe 3 is used for conveying the heat exchange medium after heat exchange to the inner cavity to form a circulating loop.
[0041] Wherein, the pipe diameter of heat exchange medium return pipe 3 is greater than the pipe diameter of heat exchange medium extraction pipe 2, the pipe diameter of heat exchange medium return pipe 3 is relatively large, so as to reduce the flow rate and impact force when the medium returns, thereby effectively reducing the water flow disturbance in the heat tank, and also avoiding the influence of the heat exchange medium with lower temperature on the heat exchange medium with higher temperature in the upper layer, ensuring the stability of the temperature field. Through such a circulating process, the heat tank can continuously and efficiently heat the drinking water to meet the instant demand of the user, while ensuring the stable operation and safety of the equipment.
[0042] According to the above technical solution, the main function of heat tank body 1 is to store and heat heat exchange medium, the heat exchange medium is introduced into heat exchanger 61 after being heated to heat exchange drinking water, the function of fast heating drinking water is achieved, the design of heat tank body 1 can effectively maintain the temperature of the medium to meet the demand of drinking water equipment for hot water, heat exchange medium extraction pipe 2 plays its role, its end extends into the inner cavity and is located in the upper part of the inner cavity, and extracts the heat exchange medium in the upper layer of the inner cavity; Heat exchange medium extraction pipe 2 can efficiently extract heat exchange medium with higher temperature, and the extracted high-temperature heat exchange medium is then sent into heat exchanger 61 to exchange heat with the cold drinking water input from outside, to realize the first temperature rise of drinking water, and after heat exchange, the heat exchange medium is returned to the inner cavity through heat exchange medium return pipe 3.
[0043] As a preferred embodiment, heat exchange medium return pipe 3 extends from the upper end of heat tank body 1 to the bottom of heat tank body 1, as shown in Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the heat exchange medium return pipe 3 comprises a first pipe body 31 and a second pipe body 32, the first pipe body 31 is in communication with the second pipe body 32; in the vertical direction, the second pipe body 32 is below the first pipe body 31, the pipe diameter of the second pipe body 32 is larger than that of the first pipe body 31, and the water outlet end of the second pipe body 32 (i.e. the bottom end of the second pipe body 32) is close to the bottom of the heat tank body 1. This design aims to reduce the flow rate and impact force when the heat exchange medium returns, and the reduction of flow rate helps to reduce the erosion of the heat exchange medium to the internal structure of the heat tank body 1, thereby effectively reducing the water flow disturbance inside the heat tank body 1. When the heat exchange medium is heated, the heated heat exchange medium will move upwards, and the differential design of the pipe diameter makes the water return process more stable, which helps to maintain the uniform distribution of the temperature field inside the heat tank, and also avoids the influence of the lower-temperature heat exchange medium at the bottom on the upper-layer higher-temperature heat exchange medium. Through such a circulation process, the heat tank body 1 can continuously and efficiently heat the drinking water to meet the immediate needs of users, while ensuring the stable operation and safety of the equipment.
[0044] As a preferred embodiment, the number of the first pipe body 31 is one or more; when the number of the first pipe body 31 is more than one, each first pipe body 31 is connected end to end.
[0045] As a preferred embodiment, the water outlet end of the second pipe body 32 is connected with a fluid buffer structure 33; the fluid buffer structure 33 comprises a mounting head 331 and a horn cover 332, the horn cover 332 is fixed to the mounting head 331, the heat exchange medium can enter the horn cover 332 through the mounting head 331, the longitudinal section of the horn cover 332 is in a structure of small at the top and large at the bottom, and the mounting head 331 is provided with a mounting hole 3311 in communication with the horn cover 332.
[0046] In one embodiment, the second pipe body 32 and the fluid buffer structure 33 are integrally formed, that is, the bottom of the second pipe body 32 is connected with the mounting head 331 in a fixed manner, such as welding, riveting, etc.
[0047] In another embodiment, the mounting hole 3311 is provided with an internal thread, the outer periphery of the second pipe body 32 is provided with an external thread, the internal thread is matched with the external thread, the mounting head 331 of the embodiment is in a detachable connection with the second pipe body 32, which facilitates the replacement of the fluid buffer structure 33 to slow down the flow rate; when the heat exchange medium flows out of the second pipe body 32 and enters the horn cover 332 through the mounting head 331, the flow rate of the medium will gradually decrease due to the gradually increasing cross-sectional area of the horn cover 332, which utilizes the basic principle of fluid mechanics, i.e., when the flow rate is constant, the increase of the cross-sectional area of the pipe will result in the decrease of the flow rate. Therefore, through the introduction and special design of the fluid buffer structure 33, the flow rate of the heat exchange medium is effectively slowed down, which reduces the erosion of the heat exchange medium to the internal structure of the heat tank body 1, reduces the water flow disturbance in the heat tank body 1, and improves the overall performance and stability of the heat tank.
[0048] As a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The heat tank body 1 is provided with a drain pipe 4, the drain pipe 4 extends into the inner cavity, and the end of the drain pipe 4 is located at the bottom position of the inner cavity. According to the above technical solution, in the heat tank body 1, the drain pipe 4 is designed to extend into the inner cavity, and the end thereof is located at the bottom position of the inner cavity, which ensures that the drain pipe 4 can effectively drain the impurities, sediments or excess heat exchange medium accumulated in the inner cavity; when the inner cavity needs to be cleaned or maintained, the drain pipe 4 can be opened to allow the liquid or impurities accumulated at the bottom to flow out smoothly, since the drain pipe 4 is located at the bottom, it can ensure that the residues in the inner cavity are removed to the maximum extent, keeping the inner cavity clean and the medium pure. In addition, the drain pipe 4 can also be used to quickly discharge the heat exchange medium in the heat tank under certain circumstances, for example, when the system needs to be shut down or repaired in an emergency, not only the maintenance convenience of the heat tank is improved, but also the overall safety and reliability thereof are enhanced.
[0049] The pipe diameter of the drain pipe 4 is smaller than that of the heat exchange medium return pipe 3. The pipe diameter of the drain pipe 4 is designed to be smaller than that of the heat exchange medium return pipe 3, which ensures that the heat exchange medium can smoothly and stably enter the inner cavity when flowing back, and the drain pipe 4 is responsible for discharging the liquid or impurities accumulated at the bottom at a slower flow rate, which can prevent disturbance caused by rapid discharge to a certain extent.

The heat tank body 1 is the core component of the water supply device, which is mainly composed of the heat exchange cylinder 11 and the two end covers 12. The heat exchange cylinder 11 serves as the main part of the heat tank body 1 and is usually made of high-strength and corrosion-resistant materials to ensure that it can withstand high-temperature and high-pressure working environments. The two end covers 12 are arranged at the two ends of the heat exchange cylinder 11 and are tightly connected with the heat exchange cylinder 11 through sealing structures such as flange connection, threaded connection, etc. to form an inner cavity structure for storing heat exchange medium. This design not only ensures that the medium (such as water, steam, heat exchange oil, etc.) inside the heat tank body 1 does not leak to the outside environment, but also prevents external impurities from entering the heat tank body 1, ensuring the normal operation of the heat tank body 1 and the purity of the medium.
[0051] As a preferred embodiment, as shown in the drawings, Figure 1 As shown, the heat tank body 1 is externally provided with a mounting rack 13 and a heat preservation frame 14, the heat preservation frame 14 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the heat tank body 1, and the heat tank body 1 is fixedly installed on the mounting rack 13. The mounting rack 13 serves as the support structure of the heat tank body 1, ensuring that the heat tank body 1 can be stably installed at the desired position and maintaining its stability. The heat preservation frame 14 is tightly wrapped around the outer periphery of the heat tank body 1 and plays a heat preservation role. The heat preservation frame 14 is made of high-efficiency heat insulation materials, which can effectively reduce heat loss and ensure that the heat exchange medium in the inner cavity maintains a constant high-temperature state. This not only improves the heating efficiency of the heat tank, but also reduces energy consumption.
[0052] As a preferred embodiment, as shown in the drawings, Figure 10 As shown, the heat exchange medium extraction pipe 2 and / or the heat exchange medium return pipe 3 is provided with a water pump 84. The water pump 84 is arranged on the heat exchange medium extraction pipe 2 or the heat exchange medium return pipe 3, which mainly provides power to force the heat exchange medium to circulate in the pipeline.

[0057] The fourth pipeline 81 is further included, and a bottom end of the fourth pipeline 81 is in communication with the heat medium extraction pipe 2; since the heat medium in the heat tank body 1 is evaporated by heating and is lost, the liquid level needs to be supplemented when it drops to a certain position, so the fourth pipeline 81 is connected with an external water pipe for supplementing the heat medium in the heat tank body 1, and a valve 10 is arranged on the fourth pipeline 81; it needs to be noted that when the heat tank body 1 introduces the heat medium into the heat exchanger 61, the valve 10 on the fourth pipeline 81 needs to be closed.
[0058] In working, the heat medium in the heat tank body 1 enters the heat tank body 1 through the fourth pipeline 81 (in the state that the valve 10 is opened), then the valve 10 is closed, and the heat medium of the heat tank body 1 is pushed by the water pump 4 to flow into the heat exchanger 61, in the heat exchanger 61, the heat medium exchanges heat with the drinking water, transmits heat to the drinking water and preheats the drinking water, and then the preheated heat medium returns to the heat tank body 1 through the heat medium return pipeline 3, and a cycle period is completed.
