Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water dispenser technology, and in particular to a heated water tank and a heated water dispenser containing the heated water tank. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, more and more public places are installing standing water dispensers, especially hot water tanks with heating functions. In areas with high water hardness, even with reverse osmosis water purifiers, floating debris may still appear at the outlet after heating the water, causing customer complaints. The root cause is the initial stage of limescale buildup. Current technology typically includes a filtration unit to filter the water in the tank, but in actual use, it has been found that because the water in the tank remains stagnant for extended periods, the filtration effect is poor, and floating debris still remains in the outlet water. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defect of poor scale filtration effect in the water tank in the prior art, and to provide a heated water tank and a heated water dispenser containing the same.

[0004] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solution:

[0005] A heating water tank, the heating water tank including a tank body, the heating water tank further including:

[0006] A circulation pipe, one end of which is connected to the bottom of the water tank body, and the other end of which is connected to the side of the water tank body and near the top area of ​​the water tank body.

[0007] A filter section is provided at the bottom of the water tank body, and the circulation pipeline is connected to the water tank body through the filter section;

[0008] A turbulence-disrupting section is disposed within the water tank body, and is correspondingly disposed at the water inlet of the water tank body.

[0009] In this design, a filter section is installed at the bottom of the water tank, and the circulation pipe is connected to the filter section. This allows the water inside the tank to circulate. Compared to stagnant water, the filtration effect is improved by the circulating water passing through the filter section, reducing scale and floating debris in the water tank. Additionally, a turbulence section is installed inside the water tank at the inlet. When water is added to the tank, the turbulence section agitates the water, improving circulation efficiency and breaking the stagnant state. Scale floats in the water and is then filtered by the filter section during circulation, enhancing the user experience.

[0010] Preferably, the turbulence-disrupting part is an impeller, and the heating water tank further includes a heating part, with the impeller and the heating part spaced apart.

[0011] In this solution, the above-mentioned settings are used to effectively disturb the water flow and avoid structural interference with the heating element.

[0012] Preferably, the water tank body is provided with a water outlet, and the height of the water outlet is higher than the height of the heating element along the height direction of the water tank body.

[0013] In this solution, the above settings ensure that the water flowing out of the outlet is all water that has been circulated through the filtration unit. Compared to setting the outlet height at the same level as the heating unit, this prevents water from flowing out without being effectively filtered and reaching the user.

[0014] Preferably, the filtration unit includes a housing and a filter element, one end of the housing is connected to the circulation pipeline, the other end of the housing is connected to the water tank body, and the filter element is inserted into the housing.

[0015] In this solution, the filter element is accommodated by the above-mentioned setup.

[0016] Preferably, the filter element is a filter screen or a titanium rod.

[0017] In this solution, the above settings are used to effectively filter the heated water flow inside the water tank, meaning the filter element can withstand high temperatures.

[0018] Preferably, the circulation pipeline includes a circulation pump and a support, the support being disposed on the side of the water tank body, and the circulation pump being connected to the water tank body through the support.

[0019] In this solution, the above settings are used to achieve the function of circulating water flow in the circulation pipeline.

[0020] Preferably, the heating water tank includes a low liquid level probe, a medium liquid level probe, and a high liquid level probe, all of which extend into the water tank body from the top of the water tank body.

[0021] In this solution, the above-mentioned settings are used to detect in a timely manner whether the water flow in the water tank needs to be replenished. At the same time, the low liquid level probe, medium liquid level probe and high liquid level probe are staggered from the circulation pipeline and other structures to avoid structural interference.

[0022] Preferably, the heating water tank further includes an exhaust pipe, one end of which extends from the bottom of the water tank body, and the other end of which is located inside the water tank body and near the top area of ​​the water tank body.

[0023] In this solution, the above-mentioned settings allow air to be introduced through the vent pipe when water is discharged from the water tank, so that the water can be discharged normally.

[0024] Preferably, the heated water tank further includes an insulation layer, which is applied to the outer surface of the water tank body.

[0025] In this solution, the above settings are used to improve the heat preservation effect of the heating water tank and enhance the user experience.

[0026] A heated water dispenser, the heated water dispenser comprising a heated water tank as described above.

[0027] In this solution, the heated water dispenser includes the aforementioned heated water tank. The scale inside the water tank is filtered through a circulation pipeline and a filter section. At the same time, the filtration effect is further improved through a turbulence section, which not only enhances the user experience but also extends the service life of the heated water dispenser.

[0028] The positive and progressive effects of this invention are as follows: By incorporating a filter section at the bottom of the water tank and connecting it to a circulation pipe, the water within the tank can circulate. Compared to stagnant water, the filtration effect is improved by the circulating water passing through the filter section, reducing scale and floating debris in the tank. Furthermore, an additional flow-dispersing section is provided within the tank at the inlet. When water is added to the tank, this section agitates the water, improving circulation efficiency and breaking the stagnant state. Scale floats in the water and is then filtered through the filter section during circulation, enhancing the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0048] Exhaust pipe 9 Detailed Implementation

[0049] The present invention will be described more clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings, using a preferred embodiment.

[0050] This embodiment provides a heating water tank, the specific structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the heating water tank includes a tank body 1, and the heating water tank also includes:

[0051] The circulation pipe 2 has one end connected to the bottom of the water tank body 1 and the other end connected to the side of the water tank body 1 and near the top area of ​​the water tank body 1.

[0052] The filter section 3 is located at the bottom of the water tank body 1, and the circulation pipe 2 is connected to the water tank body 1 through the filter section 3.

[0053] The turbulence section 4 is disposed inside the water tank body 1 and is correspondingly disposed at the water inlet 11 of the water tank body 1.

[0054] Specifically, the water tank body 1 has a rectangular structure with an internal cavity, and is made of 316L stainless steel. The circulation pipe 2 includes a tube, one end of which connects to the bottom of the water tank body 1, and the other end connects to the side of the water tank body 1. It is positioned near the top of the water tank body 1 to allow water in the water tank body 1 to flow out from the bottom and circulate back into the water tank body 1 through the circulation pipe 2. The filter unit 3 can be a conventional filter structure, such as a filter element, filter membrane, or filter screen. The filter unit 3 is located at the bottom of the water tank body 1, with one end connected to the bottom of the water tank body 1 and the other end connected to the end of the circulation pipe 2 that connects to the bottom of the water tank body 1. This allows the filter unit 3 to effectively filter impurities in the water flow, such as floating matter or scale, during water circulation. Compared to the stagnant water in the main body of the water tank 1, the water that circulates and passes through the filter section 3 has an improved filtration effect, reducing scale and floating matter in the water in the main body of the water tank 1.

[0055] In addition, in this embodiment, a turbulence section 4 is additionally provided inside the water tank body 1. The turbulence section 4 is located at the water inlet 11 so that when the water tank body 1 is replenished with water, the turbulence section 4 will disturb the water in the water tank body 1, improve the circulation efficiency and change the stagnant water state. Scale can float in the water and be filtered in time by the filter section 3 during circulation, thereby improving the user experience.

[0056] In this embodiment, the turbulence section 4 is an impeller, and the heating water tank also includes a heating section 5, with the impeller and the heating section 5 spaced apart.

[0057] Specifically, the impeller uses a structure found in the prior art. The impeller is mounted inside the water tank body 1 via a rotating shaft, and the impeller blades are positioned corresponding to the water inlet 11. The impeller is driven by water replenishment through the water inlet 11, eliminating the need for an additional drive motor and reducing the manufacturing cost of the heated water tank. The heating unit 5 includes an electric heating rod, which contacts the water flow within the water tank body 1 to achieve the heating function. By spacing the impeller and the electric heating rod apart, structural interference between the turbulence-causing part 4 and the heating unit 5 is avoided.

[0058] In this embodiment, a water outlet 12 is provided on the water tank body 1, and the height of the water outlet 12 is higher than the height of the heating part 5 along the height direction of the water tank body 1.

[0059] Specifically, the water inlet 11 of the water tank body 1 is located at the bottom, the water outlet 12 is located on the side, and the electric heating rod of the heating unit 5 is located inside the water tank body 1 and is set close to the bottom of the water tank body 1. By setting the height of the water outlet 12 to be higher than the height of the heating unit 5, the water flowing out of the water outlet 12 is all water that has been circulated through the filter unit 3. Compared with the water outlet 12 being set at the same height as the heating unit 5, this prevents water from flowing out without being effectively filtered and flowing to the user end.

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the filter unit 3 includes a housing 31 and a filter element 32. One end of the housing 31 is connected to the circulation pipe 2, and the other end of the housing 31 is connected to the water tank body 1. The filter element 32 is inserted into the housing 31.

[0061] Specifically, the housing 31 has a cylindrical structure with an internal cavity. One end of the housing 31 has an external thread, and the bottom of the water tank body 1 has an interface with an internal thread. The housing 31 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the water tank body 1. The other end of the housing 31 is connected to one end of the circulation pipe 2. The filter element 32 is used to filter the water from the water tank body 1 so that the water entering the circulation pipe 2 meets the user's needs.

[0062] Furthermore, filter element 32 is a filter screen or a titanium rod. The filter screen or titanium rod can effectively filter the heated water flow in the water tank body 1, that is, filter element 32 can withstand high temperatures.

[0063] In this embodiment, the circulation pipeline 2 includes a circulation pump 21 and a bracket 22. The bracket 22 is disposed on the side of the water tank body 1, and the circulation pump 21 is connected to the water tank body 1 through the bracket 22.

[0064] Specifically, the circulation pump 21 uses the existing pump body structure. The pipe of the circulation pipeline 2 extends from the shell 31 to the side of the water tank body 1, and is connected to the circulation pump 21 on the bracket 22 on the side of the water tank body 1. It then extends to the side of the water tank body 1 near the top to realize the function of circulating water flow through the circulation pipeline 2. The bracket 22 can be a plate material, which is connected to the water tank body 1 by a bolt assembly. The circulation pump 21 is also connected to the bracket 22 by a bolt assembly. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0065] It should be noted that the working principle of the heating water tank in this implementation is as follows:

[0066] When the heating element 5 starts, the circulation pump 21 also starts simultaneously. Water from the water tank 1 flows into the filter element 32, where scale is trapped. The filtered water is then pumped back into the water tank 1 by the circulation pump 21. Even after the heating element 5 stops heating, the circulation pump 21 continues to filter the water in the water tank 1 until a preset time is reached, at which point circulation stops. The preset time can be selected based on the water quality, or a default of 30 minutes can be used. It is understood that the synchronous start of the circulation pump 21 and the heating element 5 is existing technology, and this embodiment does not improve upon it; therefore, it will not be elaborated upon further.

[0067] In this embodiment, the heating water tank includes a low liquid level probe 6, a medium liquid level probe 7, and a high liquid level probe 8. The low liquid level probe 6, the medium liquid level probe 7, and the high liquid level probe 8 all extend into the water tank body 1 from the top of the water tank body 1.

[0068] Specifically, the low-level probe 6, medium-level probe 7, and high-level probe 8 are existing liquid level indicator structures used to detect whether water needs to be replenished in the water tank body 1. Their principle is similar to a float. The low-level probe 6, medium-level probe 7, and high-level probe 8 are electrically connected to the control board of the heating water tank to connect the inlet 11 for water replenishment when the liquid level is low. Simultaneously, the low-level probe 6, medium-level probe 7, and high-level probe 8 are staggered from structures such as the circulation pipe 2 and filter section 3 connected to the side or bottom of the water tank body 1 to avoid structural interference.

[0069] In this embodiment, the heating water tank also includes an exhaust pipe 9. One end of the exhaust pipe 9 extends from the bottom of the water tank body 1, and the other end of the exhaust pipe 9 is located inside the water tank body 1 and near the top area of ​​the water tank body 1.

[0070] Specifically, the exhaust pipe 9 is a circular pipe. One end of the exhaust pipe 9 extends out of the water tank body 1 from the bottom of the water tank body 1, and the other end extends into the water tank body 1 near the top area of ​​the water tank body 1. This prevents water from flowing out of the water tank body 1 through the exhaust pipe 9. At the same time, when water is discharged from the water tank body 1, the air pressure inside the water tank body 1 decreases, and air is introduced through the exhaust pipe 9, allowing the water to flow out normally. Similarly, when water is introduced into the water tank body 1, the air pressure inside the water tank body 1 increases, and air is released through the exhaust pipe 9, allowing the water to flow into the water tank body 1 normally.

[0071] In this embodiment, the heating water tank also includes an insulation layer (not shown in the figure), which covers the outer surface of the water tank body 1. The insulation layer is made of polyurethane. By setting the insulation layer, the heat preservation effect of the heating water tank is improved, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0072] This embodiment also provides a heated water dispenser, which includes the aforementioned heated water tank. The scale inside the water tank body 1 is filtered through the circulation pipe 2 and the filter section 3. At the same time, the filtration effect is further improved through the turbulence section 4, which not only improves the user experience but also extends the service life of the heated water dispenser.

[0073] While specific embodiments of this utility model have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that these are merely illustrative examples, and the scope of protection of this utility model 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 this utility model, but all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
