TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The prior art gas water heater uses gas as energy, and the water is heated by the heat generated by gas combustion, so that the water temperature reaches the requirements of life, heating and the like. Its working principle is: when the user uses hot water, the water heater carries out general constant temperature heating combustion; when the user is not in the process of using hot water, the water heater detects that the water temperature in the pipeline is lower than the set temperature, and then starts the circulating water pump in the water heater, and the water pump runs to make the water in the pipeline flow into the water heater for heating, and after the water in the pipeline is heated to the specified temperature, the water pump stops running, and the water heater also stops working. In this way, when the user opens the hot water faucet, hot water can come out immediately. The zero cold water function of the first water out (the circulating preheating function of the bathroom water) is realized.
[0003] The prior art gas water heater cannot heat drinkable water, whether the water heater is without a water pump or with a water pump. The main reason is that the pipeline of the ordinary water heater is easy to pollute the water quality, and the internal pipeline is difficult to clean or replace after long-term use, which also makes the water quality worse. Therefore, the general gas water heater can only provide life water for the user, and cannot provide drinkable water heating for the user.

[0098] Preferably, the water heater system 1 further comprises a first temperature sensor 51 and a second temperature sensor 52.

The second temperature sensor 52 is arranged on the second pipeline 22 and close to the second water outlet 24, and is used for detecting the temperature of the drinking water after heat exchange.

The fourth temperature sensor 54 is arranged on the second pipeline 22 and close to the second water inlet 23, and is used for detecting the temperature of the drinking water before heat exchange. Thus, by arranging the third temperature sensor 53, the temperature of the domestic water before heat exchange can be detected, so as to realize the monitoring of the temperature of the domestic water at the first water inlet 14. By arranging the fourth temperature sensor 54, the temperature of the drinking water before heat exchange can be detected, so as to realize the monitoring of the temperature of the drinking water at the second water inlet 23.
[0100] Preferably, the second pipeline 22 is provided with a first flow sensor 61, and the first flow sensor 61 is arranged close to the second water inlet 23. Thus, by arranging the first flow sensor 61, the water flow of the drinking water flowing through the second water inlet 23 can be detected.
[0101] Specifically, the water inlet pipeline 12 comprises a first water inlet pipeline 121 and a second water inlet pipeline 122 connected in sequence, and the first water inlet 14, the first water inlet pipeline 121, the second water inlet pipeline 122 and the inlet of the heat exchanger 11 are communicated in sequence.
[0102] The water heater system 1 further comprises a three-way joint 70, which is provided with a first interface 71, a second interface 72 and a third interface 73. The first interface 71 is communicated with the first water inlet 14 through the first water inlet pipe 121, the second interface 72 is communicated with the outlet 212 of the inner circulation pipe 21, and the third interface 73 is communicated with the inlet of the heat exchanger 11 through the second water inlet pipe 122, and the circulation water pump is arranged on the second water inlet pipe 122. In this way, by arranging the three-way joint 70, a specific mode that the inner circulation pipe 21 is communicated with the water inlet pipe 12 is provided.
[0103] Preferably, the water heater system 1 further comprises a one-way valve, which is referred to as a first one-way valve 81, and the first one-way valve 81 is arranged on the first water inlet pipe 121. In this way, by arranging the first one-way valve 81, the water flow from the outlet 212 of the inner circulation pipe 21 is prevented from flowing to the first water inlet 14, so as to ensure the single flow direction of the inner circulation pipe 21 to the second water inlet pipe 122.
[0104] The water heater system 1 further comprises a second one-way valve 82, which is arranged on the outer circulation pipe 41. In this way, by arranging the second one-way valve 82, the water flow from the outer circulation pipe 41 is prevented from entering the outer water inlet pipe 42, so as to ensure the single flow direction of the outer circulation pipe 41 to the first water inlet 14.
[0105] The second water inlet pipe 122 is provided with a second flow sensor 62, and the second flow sensor 62 is arranged close to the three-way joint 70. In this way, by arranging the second flow sensor 62 on the second water inlet pipe 122, the inner circulation flow can be conveniently detected.
[0106] Preferably, the water heater system 1 further comprises a pressure relief pipe 90, the inlet of the pressure relief pipe 90 is located on the first water inlet pipe 121 and is located upstream of the first one-way valve 81, the outlet of the pressure relief pipe 90 is located on the second water inlet pipe 122, and the pressure relief pipe 90 is provided with a pressure relief valve 91. In this way, by arranging the pressure relief pipe 90 and the pressure relief valve 91, when the pressure downstream of the one-way valve is too high, the pressure relief valve 91 can be used to relieve the pressure to the upstream of the one-way valve.
[0107] Preferably, the water outlet pipe 13 comprises a first water outlet pipe 131 and a second water outlet pipe 132 connected in sequence, and the outlet of the heat exchanger 11, the first water outlet pipe 131, the second water outlet pipe 132 and the first water outlet 15 are communicated in sequence.

The inlet 31 is communicated with the first water outlet pipe 131, the first outlet 32 is communicated with the inlet 211 of the inner circulation pipeline, and the second outlet 33 is communicated with the second water outlet 24 through the second water outlet pipe 132. The inlet 31 of the three-way valve 30 is switched between the two states of being communicated with the first outlet 32 or the second outlet 33. In this way, by arranging the three-way valve 30, the first water outlet pipe 131 can be switched between the two states of being communicated with the inner circulation pipeline 21 or the second water outlet pipe 132.
[0109] In the embodiment, the first heat exchange assembly 10 further comprises a burner 17 for heating the heat exchanger 11.
[0110] Further, the first heat exchange assembly 10 further comprises an air inlet pipeline 18, one end of which is provided with a gas inlet 181, and the other end of which is communicated with the burner 17. The air inlet pipeline 18 is provided with a gas proportional valve 19. In this way, by arranging the gas proportional valve 19, the gas inlet can be distributed, so as to adjust the heating intensity of the burner 17.
[0111] The inner circulation pipeline 21 is provided with a plate heat exchanger, and the second pipeline 22 is arranged in the plate heat exchanger. The second water outlet 24 is provided with a drinking water faucet 25.
[0112] In the embodiment, the domestic water sequentially passes through the second water inlet pipe 122, the heat exchanger 11, the first water outlet pipe 131, the three-way valve 30 and the inner circulation pipeline 21, and then returns to the second water inlet pipe 122, so as to form an inner circulation system. The domestic water sequentially passes through the first water inlet pipe 121, the second water inlet pipe 122, the heat exchanger 11, the first water outlet pipe 131, the three-way valve 30, the second water outlet pipe 132 and the outer circulation pipeline 41, and then returns to the first water inlet pipe 121, so as to form an outer circulation system. The inner circulation system and the outer circulation system are switched by the three-way valve 30.
[0113] The heat exchanger 11 heats the domestic water in the inner circulation system and the outer circulation system. Then, the domestic water in the inner circulation system and the drinking water in the second pipeline 22 both enter the plate heat exchanger, and water-water heat exchange is performed therebetween, so as to heat the drinking water, and even to boil water close to 100℃. The plate heat exchanger is made of stainless steel and has a detachable structure, so as to ensure water quality.
[0114] The hot water system 1 of the embodiment can heat drinking water, and includes two working modes: a domestic water heating mode and a drinking water heating mode. In the domestic water heating mode, the hot water system 1 provides the user end with heated domestic water (domestic water) with zero cold water supply through the external circulation system; in the drinking water heating mode, the hot water system 1 heats the second pipeline 22 through the internal circulation system to provide heated drinking water.
[0115] That is, when the domestic water heating mode, the inlet 31 of the three-way valve 30 is in communication with the second outlet 33, realizing the communication between the first water outlet pipe 131 and the second water outlet pipe 132, at this time, the three-way valve 30 communicates the external circulation system to provide the user end with heated domestic water with zero cold water supply. As shown in FIG. 4, wherein the single arrow represents the flow direction of the domestic water. Figure 4
[0116] When the drinking water heating mode, the inlet 31 of the three-way valve 30 is in communication with the first outlet 32, realizing the communication between the first water outlet pipe 131 and the internal circulation pipeline 21, at this time, the three-way valve 30 communicates the internal circulation system to heat the second pipeline 22 to provide heated drinking water. As shown in FIG. 5, wherein the single arrow represents the flow direction of the domestic water; the double arrow represents the flow direction of the drinking water. Figure 5
[0117] Specifically, the plate heat exchanger is connected to the second pipeline 22 and the internal circulation pipeline 21 in a quick connection manner, and the connection directions are the same. The plate heat exchanger can be arranged inside the water heater or outside the water heater. When the plate heat exchanger is arranged outside the water heater, it is easy for the user to disassemble; when the plate heat exchanger is arranged inside the water heater, it is convenient for the whole machine to be installed together.
[0118] The working principle of the hot water system 1 of the embodiment can heat drinking water: when the user opens the drinking water faucet 25, the drinking water flows into the plate heat exchanger through the second water inlet 23 and the second water path. After the first flow sensor 61 detects the water flow, the three-way valve 30 switches to the internal circulation system (drinking water heating mode) and opens. After the second flow sensor 62 detects the water flow, the burner 17 continuously performs internal circulation combustion according to a certain load. The heated internal circulation hot water flows through the plate heat exchanger, exchanges heat with the drinking water in the plate heat exchanger, quickly heats the drinking water, until the temperature of the heated drinking water (outlet water temperature) at the second water inlet 23 reaches the set drinking water temperature, and then the water heater maintains constant temperature combustion. Until the user closes the drinking water faucet 25, the burner 17 stops burning and stops working, and the three-way valve 30 is still in the state of communicating the internal circulation system. When domestic water is used, the three-way valve 30 switches to the external circulation system.
[0119] If the user sets the drinking water temperature too high, the water temperature in the inner circulation system needs to be higher, so the inner circulation system water (inner circulation water) may vaporize, causing damage to the machine. Therefore, a one-way valve is arranged on the first water inlet pipe 121. Due to the first one-way valve 81, the inner circulation system will become a closed system, and when the inner circulation water is heated, the pressure in the inner circulation system will rise, causing the vaporization temperature of the water to also increase, thereby preventing the inner circulation water from vaporizing. However, in order to prevent the inner circulation water pressure from being too high and causing the plate heat exchanger or pipeline to rupture, a pressure relief pipeline 90 and a pressure relief valve 91 are provided, the inlet of the pressure relief pipeline 90 is located on the first water inlet pipe 121 and is located upstream of the first one-way valve 81; the outlet of the pressure relief pipeline 90 is located on the second water inlet pipe 122. When the pressure in the inner circulation system is too high after being heated, the pressure can be relieved to a low pressure upstream of the first one-way valve 81 through the pressure relief valve 91. This internal relief method does not cause the machine to leak, and does not cause the user to be scalded due to the high-temperature inner circulation water leaking out.
[0120] The hot water system 1 of the heated drinking water of the embodiment, by setting the second heat exchange assembly 20, on the basis of not affecting the original hot water system that can heat the domestic water, realizes the heating of the drinking water, so that the hot water system 1 has the function of heating the drinking water.
[0121] Further, the hot water system 1 of the embodiment has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0122] 1. The plate heat exchanger is used to heat the drinking water, so that the drinking water heating waterway system and the domestic water heating waterway system are separated, preventing the drinking water from being contaminated by the domestic water (bathroom water);
[0123] 2. The plate heat exchanger is connected to the second pipeline 22 and the inner circulation pipeline 21 in a quick connection manner, and the connection directions are the same. Furthermore, the plate heat exchanger is arranged outside the hot water system. The plate heat exchanger is arranged at the lower part of the hot water system, which is easy for the user to disassemble;
[0124] 3. The water inlet one-way valve (first one-way valve 81) is arranged on the first water inlet pipe 121, so that the inner circulation becomes a closed system, ensuring that high-temperature drinking water can be boiled;
[0125] 4. The problem of the inner circulation water pressure being too high after being heated is considered, and an internal relief method is used for pressure relief, which is safe and reliable.
[0126] Although the specific embodiments of the present application are described above, those skilled in the art should understand that this is only an example, the protection scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of the present application, but these changes and modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present application.
