[0029] Embodiment one

[0030] As Figure 1 shown, the utility model embodiment provides a gas water heater, gas water heater is used to solve the existing gas water heater in secondary start will appear in turn water temperature is too high and water temperature is too low, and water temperature is too low The condition will last for a long time, greatly influence user experience problem.

[0031] The gas water heater comprises a water inlet pipe 1, a heat exchanger 2 and a water outlet pipe 3 communicated in sequence along the water flow direction. Among them, the water inlet pipe 1 is used to connect the water supply end, the water inlet pipe 1 flows for the cold water provided by the water supply end, the cold water flows into the heat exchanger 2 to realize heat exchange and temperature rise, and the hot water flows from the water outlet pipe 3 to the water end for user use. The gas water heater further comprises a water mixing tank 4 and a bypass pipe 5, the water mixing tank 4 is arranged on the water outlet pipe 3, the water mixing tank 4 is provided with a water inlet 41, a bypass water inlet 42 and a water outlet 43, the water inlet 41 is used to communicate the water outlet end of the heat exchanger 2, and the water outlet 43 is communicated with the water end through the water outlet pipe 3. The two ends of the bypass pipe 5 are communicated with the bypass water inlet 42 and the water inlet pipe 1 respectively, and the bypass valve 6 for adjusting water flow is arranged on the bypass pipe 5. The water mixing tank 4 is a tank body with a certain volume, the hot water flowing out of the heat exchanger 2 and the cold water flowing out of the bypass pipe 5 are mixed in the water mixing tank 4, to form warm water meeting user demand and flow to the water end through the water outlet pipe 3. Along the water flow direction, the vertical distance between the bypass water inlet 42 and the water inlet 41 is H1, and the vertical distance between the bypass water inlet 42 and the water outlet 43 is H2, and H1 is greater than H2.

[0032] By setting the water mixing tank 4 at the outlet end of the heat exchanger 2, and setting the bypass pipe 5 with the flow regulating bypass valve 6 between the water mixing tank 4 and the water inlet pipe 1, in the scenario of short-term shutdown and secondary start of the gas water heater, the valve opening is adjusted to increase, part of the water flow in the water inlet pipe 1 is diverted to flow to the water outlet pipe 3 from the bypass pipe 5, and the other part of the water flow flows from the water inlet pipe 1 into the heat exchanger 2, thereby the high-temperature water remaining in the heat exchanger 2 flows into the water mixing tank 4 and mixes with the cold water in the bypass pipe 5 to neutralize the high-temperature water in the heat exchanger 2 due to residual heat after short shutdown, and to reduce the water temperature rise during shutdown; at the same time, during the normal heating process of the burner, the water flow from the water inlet pipe 1 to the heat exchanger 2 is reduced due to diversion, in order to ensure that the outlet water temperature remains unchanged, the water flow in the heat exchanger 2 will be heated to a higher temperature, compared with the prior art without the bypass pipe 5, more heat energy can be stored, and because the water mixing tank 4 is set downstream of the heat exchanger 2, and the vertical distance H1 between the bypass water inlet 42 and the water inlet 41 is greater than the vertical distance between the bypass water inlet 42 and the water outlet 43, and the area above the bypass water inlet 42 is equivalent to the energy storage expansion unit of the heat exchanger 2, therefore by limiting the size of the two distances, the energy storage space above can be increased, and the heat exchanger 2 and the water mixing tank 4 can obtain more energy storage, which is convenient for neutralizing the cold water that the burner has not had time to heat before normal heating by adjusting or closing the bypass valve 6 in a delayed manner, and to reduce the water temperature drop during shutdown. Due to the energy storage expansion effect of the water mixing tank 4, the gas water heater of the embodiment effectively reduces the demand for heat exchange volume of the heat exchanger 2, which is beneficial to the compactness and miniaturization of the heat exchanger 2; by limiting the distance difference between the bypass water inlet 42 and the water inlet 41 and the water outlet 43, the energy storage space of the water mixing tank 4 can be increased, while the basic water mixing function is ensured, the water mixing tank 4 structure is simplified, the structure material of the water mixing tank 4 is reduced, and no additional flow resistance structure needs to be set.

Exemplarily, Figure 1 H1 is the vertical distance between the bypass water inlet 42 and the water inlet 41, and H2 is the vertical distance between the bypass water inlet 42 and the water outlet 43. In the embodiment, the ratio of the vertical distance H1 between the bypass water inlet 42 and the water inlet 41 to the vertical distance H2 between the bypass water inlet 42 and the water outlet 43 is 3:1. On the one hand, the cold water entering the bypass water inlet 42 can form flow resistance to the hot water between the bypass water inlet 42 and the water inlet 41, and on the other hand, the cold water entering the bypass water inlet 42 can be fully mixed with the hot water between the bypass water inlet 42 and the water outlet 43. In other embodiments, the ratio of the vertical distance H1 between the bypass water inlet 42 and the water inlet 41 to the vertical distance H2 between the bypass water inlet 42 and the water outlet 43 can be 4:1, or 4.5:1, 5:1, etc.

[0034] In the embodiment, the water mixing tank 4 is provided with a partition plate 46, which divides the internal space of the water mixing tank 4 into an energy storage mixing area 44 and a drainage area 45. The partition plate 46 is provided with flow guide holes to communicate the energy storage mixing area 44 and the drainage area 45. The volume of the energy storage mixing area 44 is greater than that of the drainage area 45. The water inlet 41 and the bypass water inlet 42 are arranged in the energy storage mixing area 44, and the water outlet 43 is arranged in the drainage area 45. Through the arrangement of the baffle, the mixed water formed in the energy storage mixing area 44 is accelerated in the process of entering the drainage area 45 through the flow guide holes, and the flow rate is relatively large and forms a turbulent effect, further improving the mixing effect of hot water and cold water, so that the water temperature of the water outlet 43 is more stable. Moreover, the partition plate 46 has a flow blocking effect at the same time, preventing the rapid loss of hot water in the water mixing tank 4 during the secondary start of the gas water heater, and gradually mixing the hot water in the water mixing tank 4 with cold water to improve the problem of water temperature drop during shutdown. The volume of the energy storage mixing area 44 is greater than that of the drainage area 45, which ensures that the energy storage mixing area 44 has sufficient volume for energy storage during the shutdown of the gas water heater.

[0035] Optionally, the volume of the energy storage mixing area 44 and the drainage area 45 is greater than or equal to 3:1. In the embodiment, the volume ratio of the energy storage mixing area 44 and the drainage area 45 is 3:1. In other embodiments, the volume ratio of the energy storage mixing area 44 and the drainage area 45 can be 4:1, or 5:1, 7:1, etc.

[0036] In order to further improve the turbulent effect of the partition plate 46, the partition plate 46 is provided with a plurality of flow guide holes, which are uniformly arranged. The shape and number of the flow guide holes are not limited in the embodiment.

[0037] The bypass valve 6 is a water proportional valve with adjustable opening. By adjusting the opening of the water proportional valve, the flow of the bypass pipe 5 is steplessly adjusted, and the bypass ratio of the bypass pipe 5 has a larger adjustment range and higher adjustment accuracy.

[0038] The gas water heater is also provided with a water inlet temperature sensor 71 arranged in the water inlet pipe 1 for measuring the temperature of the cold water in the water inlet pipe 1.

According to the measured value of the inlet water temperature sensor 71 and the user-set water temperature, the controller can adjust the set outlet water temperature of the heat exchanger 2. According to the set outlet water temperature of the heat exchanger 2 and the actual outlet water temperature of the heat exchanger 2 detected by the heat exchange outlet water temperature sensor 8, the opening of the bypass valve 6 can be adjusted to adapt to the change of the outlet water temperature of the heat exchanger 2, so that the actual outlet water temperature of the outlet water pipe 3 meets the user-set water temperature requirement.

[0040] Optionally, the gas water heater is also provided with an outlet water temperature sensor 9 arranged downstream of the mixing tank 4, which is communicatively connected to the controller.
