Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water heater technology, specifically to an air-cooled PCM solar water heating supply device operating in an isolated grid. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most hot water bathing products in my country are household types, mainly electric water heaters and gas water heaters. Electric water heaters are mainly divided into two types: storage type and instantaneous type. Storage type electric water heaters use an electric heating element inside the water heater tank to heat water for hand washing; they are generally larger in size and more widely used. Instantaneous type electric water heaters allow water to flow through a high-power heating element, which quickly heats the water to provide hot water for hand washing; their size is generally 1 / 5 to 1 / 10 that of storage type water heaters.

[0003] Gas water heaters are a type of instantaneous water heater, easy to turn on and off, and provide a continuous supply of hot water once connected to the tap. However, unstable tap water pressure can cause variations in water flow and temperature. Because gas water heaters heat water rapidly, there may be a rush of cold water followed by very hot water initially, affecting handwashing comfort. Gas water heaters also produce harmful gases during use, so they must be installed in well-ventilated areas and descaled regularly.

[0004] Most common infectious diseases in today's society, such as SARS, H5N1, and Ebola, are caused by pathogens of bacteria or viruses. Bacteria and viruses enter the human body through natural openings, such as the nose or mouth, or through the skin. It is impossible to avoid all germs, but the spread of bacteria can be effectively prevented by frequent handwashing.

[0005] Most common infectious diseases in today's society, such as SARS, H5N1, and Ebola, are caused by bacterial or viral pathogens. Bacteria and viruses enter the human body through natural openings, such as the nose or mouth, or through the skin. It is impossible to avoid all germs, but frequent handwashing can effectively prevent the spread of bacteria. Currently, common hot water handwashing devices have the following problems:

[0006] 1) Lack of public handwashing stations. The international consensus on public health and safety is prevention-oriented, and handwashing is recognized as the simplest and most effective way to prevent the spread of disease. However, currently, hot water handwashing facilities in my country are all household-type, meaning that the convenience of hot water handwashing can only be enjoyed at home. Investment in the construction of public handwashing stations is almost nonexistent in various regions, failing to meet the public's needs for public safety and hygiene, and failing to meet the public's need for handwashing.

[0007] 2) Traditional hot water handwashing stations cause serious pollution. my country's current economic development relies heavily on fossil fuels such as coal, which has already contributed to smog and air pollution in some areas. Whether using electric or gas-fired hot water handwashing stations, both utilize traditional energy sources. Therefore, it is not advisable to build handwashing stations using traditional energy sources to encourage handwashing. Large-scale use of such stations would further exacerbate atmospheric pollution.

[0008] 3) Relying on traditional energy sources, it cannot operate in isolation. Traditional hot water handwashing devices rely on traditional energy sources and must be connected to the power grid or gas grid at the place of use to provide energy. Hot water handwashing devices cannot operate in isolation, and their use is severely limited.

[0009] 4) It is not convenient for the quick disassembly and assembly of the heat storage rods inside the PCM vacuum tube solar collector, which makes subsequent maintenance and replacement difficult. It is also not convenient for installing heat storage rods of different heights, and the position of the heat storage rods has not been improved, which hinders airflow. Summary of the Invention
