Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of faucet technology, and more specifically, to a liquid instant heating faucet. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, faucets on the market, especially instant hot water faucets, generally suffer from low integration of the heating module. Furthermore, existing instant hot water faucets also have limitations in temperature adjustment, typically employing limited fixed modes for temperature selection and failing to achieve stepless temperature control. This results in users being unable to precisely control the water temperature, impacting the user experience. Additionally, some faucets are prone to temperature cross-contamination when hot and cold water are mixed, meaning hot water mixes with cold water or vice versa, affecting the stability and purity of the water temperature.

[0003] Furthermore, traditional instant hot water faucets are often structurally complex and bulky, taking up space and increasing the difficulty of installation and maintenance. This limits the promotion and application of instant hot water faucets, making them unable to meet the core requirements of modern families for compact size and full functionality.

[0004] For the reasons mentioned above, it is necessary to improve the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but should not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-6 One embodiment of this utility model is a liquid instant heating faucet, which includes a column 1, a heating module 2, a faucet body seat 4, a water distribution seat 6, and a temperature control mechanism 7.

[0026] The support column 1 serves as the structural support for the entire faucet. A heating module 2 is fixedly installed inside it. An integrated base 3 is located at the upper end of the heating module 2, which integrates a hot water channel and a cold water channel. The inlet of the hot water channel is specifically for receiving hot water heated by the heating module 2, while the inlet of the cold water channel is connected to a cold water inlet pipe 100 for introducing unheated cold water.

[0027] The faucet body base 4 is mounted on the upper end of the column 1 via a rotatable connection, allowing the user to easily rotate the faucet body base 4 as needed. At the lower front of the faucet body base 4, there is a water outlet 5a, which is the final outlet for water. Above the water outlet is a water vapor separator 5. The water vapor separator 5 has a connector 50, which connects to the water distribution base 6 via a hose or other connecting components.

[0028] The water distribution base 6 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the integrated base 3, and its internal structure includes a water distribution pipe 60. The water distribution pipe 60 is fixed inside the faucet body base 4 and is connected to the hot water flow channel and cold water flow channel inside the integrated base 3 respectively through hot water pipe 60a and cold water pipe 60b. These two pipes are then connected to the connector 50 of the water vapor separator box 5 through a hose, thereby realizing the precise distribution and regulation of hot and cold water flow. Moreover, the cold and hot water do not cross-temperature and have separate channels.

[0029] The temperature control mechanism 7 includes a temperature control circuit connected to the heating module 2 and an adjustment knob 70 connected to the temperature control circuit. Users can set the desired water temperature by rotating the adjustment knob 70. The temperature control circuit automatically adjusts the heating power of the heating module 2 according to the user's settings to ensure the stability and accuracy of the water temperature. This design not only improves heating efficiency but also achieves the goal of energy saving and consumption reduction, and the adjustment knob 70 allows for stepless temperature adjustment. Furthermore, the adjustment knob is located above the faucet body base 4 for easy user operation.

[0030] Furthermore, the temperature control mechanism 7 features a function to precisely regulate the segmented heating of the water flow by the heating module 2. This segmented heating is specifically divided into two stages: the first stage uses a high-power heating element, primarily responsible for rapidly raising the water temperature to between 45 and 65 degrees Celsius, suitable for daily warm water needs; the second stage introduces a lower-power heating element, which works in conjunction with the high-power heating element when high-temperature boiling water (85 to 95 degrees Celsius) is required. Through a superposition effect, this ensures that the water temperature is stably and continuously maintained at boiling point, meeting the need for a long-term supply of boiling water. This design not only improves energy efficiency but also ensures the accuracy and stability of water temperature control. The entire heating process is controlled and managed by the main control program of the temperature control circuit, and output and feedback are achieved through the user interface of the faucet, ensuring that users can conveniently and safely select the appropriate water temperature according to their needs.

[0031] Furthermore, the side wall of the integrated base 3 has a protrusion 30, and the inlet of the cold water channel is located directly below the protrusion 30. This design makes the heating module structure more compact and stable. Meanwhile, inside the water vapor separation box 5, a first buffer plate 51 and a second buffer plate 52 are sequentially arranged opposite the inlet and outlet ends of the connector 50. The first buffer plate 51 has an arc-shaped design and ribs 53, which can more effectively disperse and reduce the impact force of the water flow; while the second buffer plate 52 is flat, further stabilizing the water flow.

[0032] Furthermore, the water-vapor separator 5 is also equipped with a water outlet 5a and a steam vent. The water outlet 5a is directly connected to the inner cavity of the water-vapor separator 5; while the steam vent surrounds the water outlet 5a and is connected to the overflow trough 530. In this structure, when the water flow is small, water exits through the water outlet 5a, while the steam vent handles the drainage steam. When the water flow is large, the water level rises, causing water to simultaneously enter the overflow trough 530, at which point water is drained simultaneously through both the water outlet and the steam vent. This design ensures the continuity and smoothness of the water flow. The above is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
