Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heating device technology, and in particular to a thick film hot water pipe. Background Technology
[0002] In traditional water supply systems, faucets typically only provide cold water; hot water requires additional heating equipment, such as water heaters or boilers. To add direct heating functionality to faucets, instant heating element technology has emerged on the market. An instant heating element is a device that can heat water to the desired temperature in a short time. It directly converts electrical energy into heat energy and rapidly transfers the heat to the water through the water flow. This heating method, due to its speed and convenience, is increasingly widely used in homes and commercial settings. However, existing instant heating elements have some technical limitations, such as:
[0003] Uneven heating: Traditional heating elements may not heat the water flow evenly, resulting in unstable water temperature.
[0004] Low thermal efficiency: Some heating elements suffer energy loss during the energy conversion process, resulting in low thermal efficiency.
[0005] Safety concerns: Traditional heating elements may pose a risk of electric leakage or overheating.
[0006] Durability issues: After prolonged use, the heating element may experience reduced performance due to scale buildup or corrosion.

[0053] Heating process: The thermostat 201 in the temperature control assembly 2 controls the heating power of the thick film heating tube 5 based on the temperature data provided by the temperature sensor 1; if the inlet water temperature is low, the thermostat will increase the power of the heating tube; if the temperature is close to the set value, the thermostat will reduce the power or stop heating.
[0054] Water temperature monitoring: After heating, the water flows out through the water outlet plastic part 4. At the water outlet of the water outlet plastic part, the temperature sensing probe 401 in the temperature sensing component 2 4 monitors the water temperature and feeds the data back to the temperature control component 2.
[0055] Temperature regulation closed loop: The temperature control component 2 further adjusts the working state of the heating element based on the data provided by the temperature sensor 401 to ensure that the outlet water temperature is stable within the range set by the user.
