Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of drinking water equipment, specifically to a water boiler heating module with water-air separation function. Background Technology

[0002] Water dispensers typically use a built-in heating element (such as a heating wire or heating tube) to convert electrical energy into heat energy, thereby heating the water in the tank.

[0003] During the process of heating water, a large amount of high-temperature steam is generated. When users fill the water tank, the hot water and steam will be discharged from the outlet at the same time. Commercial water dispensers on the market generally do not have the function of separating steam and hot water. When the high-temperature steam is discharged, it can easily cause users to be scalded, which poses a certain safety hazard to the product.

[0004] Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

The movable block can switch back and forth between the first operating state, the second operating state, and the third operating state.

[0009] As a specific embodiment, a limiting part is provided at the position of the movable block in the pressure relief chamber. The movable block is at least partially connected and cooperated with the limiting part.

[0022] Figure 5 This is an exploded view of an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 2 . Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] See Figures 1-5 This water heater heating module with water-gas separation function includes a heating component 1. The outlet end of the heating component 1 is connected to a pressure relief device 2 for discharging steam and a drain pipe 3 for supplying hot water. The pressure relief device 2, the heating component 1 and the drain pipe 3 form a three-way structure. By setting the pressure relief device 2, the steam generated when the heating component 1 heats water can be discharged from the pressure relief device 2, reducing the chance of steam flowing into the drain pipe 3, thereby improving the safety of the equipment during operation.

[0025] Furthermore, the pressure relief device 2 includes a housing 21, within which a pressure relief chamber 211 is provided. A movable block 22 is disposed within the pressure relief chamber 211. An exhaust port 213 and a water / air inlet 212 are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the housing 21. The movable block 22 can close the water / air inlet 212 and open the exhaust port 213 to form a first operating state, such as... Figure 1 As shown, when idle or when the steam pressure decreases, the movable block 22 can remain in the first working state under its own gravity.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the movable block 22 can open the water and gas inlet 212 and close the exhaust port 213 to form a second use state. When the heating component 1 starts to output hot water, some steam and hot water will pass through the water and gas inlet 212 to push the movable block 22 upward, so that the water and gas inlet 212 is opened and the exhaust port 213 is closed by the movable block 22.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the movable block 22 can simultaneously open the water and gas inlet 212 and the exhaust port 213 to form a third use state. In the second use state, the steam pressure in the pressure relief chamber 211 will continue to increase until the steam pushes the hot water level in the pressure relief chamber 211 downward through the pressure, thereby causing the movable block 22 to move downward accordingly and open the exhaust port 213, and the steam is discharged outward.

[0028] The movable block 22 can switch back and forth between the first use state, the second use state and the third use state. The pressure between the steam and hot water in the pressure relief chamber 211 is kept in dynamic balance, so that the movable block 22 can switch back and forth between the first use state, the second use state and the third use state. The steam is discharged out in an intermittent manner. The overall structure of the pressure relief device 2 is simple, and the steam will not be discharged continuously in large quantities, which further improves the safety of the equipment.

[0029] Furthermore, a limiting part 23 is provided in the pressure relief chamber 211 corresponding to the position of the movable block 22. The movable block 22 is at least partially connected and cooperated with the limiting part 23. The movable block 22 can move back and forth vertically between the exhaust port 213 and the water and gas inlet 212 through the limiting part 23, which improves the stability of the movement of the movable block 22 and prevents the movable block 22 from accidentally deviating and affecting the normal operation of the pressure relief device 2.

[0030] Furthermore, the limiting part 23 includes a limiting tube sleeved on the outside of the movable block 22. The limiting tube is arranged vertically, and a limiting cavity corresponding to the movable block 22 is formed on the inner side of the limiting tube. The upper and lower ends of the limiting tube are respectively spaced from the exhaust port 213 and the water and gas inlet 212. The limiting tube can improve the stability of the movement of the movable block 22 without affecting the flow of steam between the water and gas inlet 212 and the exhaust port 213.

[0031] Furthermore, the heating component 1 is arranged vertically, with its water outlet located on the upper side and connected to a three-way pipe 4. The three-way pipe 4 is in a horizontal T-shape, with its upper side connected to the water and gas inlet 212 and its horizontal side connected to the drain pipe 3, so that steam and hot water can achieve a preliminary separation effect under the action of gravity.

[0032] Furthermore, a module bracket 5 is provided on the outside of the heating component 1. The module bracket 5 is provided with a heater mounting cavity 51 corresponding to the heating component 1. The heating component 1 is connected and fixed to the heater mounting cavity 51. The module bracket 5 can achieve the effect of installing and fixing the heating component 1.

[0033] Furthermore, the module support 5 is also equipped with an electrical control device 6 and a water supply component 7. The water supply component 7 is connected to the water inlet of the heating component 1. The electrical control device 6 is electrically connected to the water supply component 7 and / or the heating component 1 respectively. The water supply component 7 is used to supply water to the heating component 1. The electrical control device 6 can control the water output and water temperature of the equipment by controlling the water supply component 7 and the heating component 1.

[0034] Furthermore, the module bracket 5 is respectively provided with an electrical control mounting cavity 52 and a water supply component mounting cavity 53 corresponding to the electrical control device 6 and the water supply component 7. The heater mounting cavity 51, the electrical control mounting cavity 52 and the water supply component mounting cavity 53 are spaced apart from each other, which can achieve the effect of installing and fixing the heating component 1, the electrical control device 6 and the water supply component 7, making the equipment more modular, while reducing the influence of heat or water accumulation on each other among the heating component 1, the electrical control device 6 and the water supply component 7, and improving the stability of the equipment operation.

[0035] Furthermore, the opening ends of the heater mounting cavity 51 and the electrical control mounting cavity 52 are respectively located on the front side of the module bracket 5, and the ear opening end of the water supply component mounting cavity 53 is located on the rear side of the module bracket 5, which facilitates the user to inspect and maintain the equipment, and at the same time further reduces the impact of water accumulation that may be generated by the water supply component 7 on the electrical components inside the heater mounting cavity 51 and the electrical control mounting cavity 52.

[0036] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, and other implementations are also possible. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model, and all such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope set forth in the claims of this application.
