Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar water heater technology, specifically to a solar water heater pipeline water flow regulation device. Background Technology
[0002] Solar water heaters absorb sunlight through collectors, converting light energy into heat energy to heat the circulating medium. The heat is then transferred to the water in the storage tank through heat exchange, thus providing hot water. When using a solar water heater, a regulating device needs to be installed on its pipeline to adjust the water flow.
[0003] The existing regulating device is installed in a designated location in the bathroom using a mounting bracket and bolts. Then, the lower end of the shower head connecting pipe is threaded to the connecting end on the regulating device, connecting the shower head and the regulating device together. However, after long-term use, the connecting pipe and the connecting end become loose, causing water leakage and resulting in resource waste. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an auxiliary collection regulating device to collect the leaked water. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a water flow regulation device for solar water heater pipelines to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. To solve the above technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

The fixing cover is fixed to one side of the top of the connector and is located around the connecting end. The connecting tube passes through and is fixed to the bottom end of one side of the fixing cover. The vertical rod is located below the outer end of the connecting tube, and the collection groove is opened on the inner side of the vertical rod.
[0008] Furthermore, a fixing ring is threaded to the upper outer periphery of the vertical rod, and a short rod is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing ring.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model is a water flow regulating device for solar water heater pipelines, comprising:
[0029] An adjustment assembly includes a connector 12 and a connecting end 14; the connecting end 14 is fixed to one side of the top of the connector 12.
[0030] The adjustment assembly also includes a mounting base 11, a rotator 13, and a lower connection end 15; the mounting base 11 is fixed to the center of the back of the connector 12, the rotator 13 is rotatably connected to both ends of the connector 12, and the lower connection end 15 is fixed to the bottom end of the connector 12.
[0031] Mounting base 11 is used for the connection between connector 12 and the indoor wall. Connector 12 is used for the control and mixing of cold water and hot water volume. Rotator 13 is used for turning on cold water and hot water. Connection end 14 is used for connecting the shower head pipe. Lower connection end 15 is used for connecting other water pipes.
[0032] The collection assembly includes a fixing cover 21, a connecting tube 22, a vertical rod 23, and a collection groove 24. The fixing cover 21 is fixed to one side of the top of the connector 12 and is located around the connecting end 14. The connecting tube 22 passes through and is fixed to the bottom of one side of the fixing cover 21. The vertical rod 23 is located below the outer end of the connecting tube 22. The collection groove 24 is opened inside the vertical rod 23.
[0033] The fixed cover 21 is used to limit the leakage of water, the connecting pipe 22 is used to connect the collection tank 24 and the fixed cover 21, the vertical rod 23 is used to open the collection tank 24, and the collection tank 24 is used to collect the leakage water.
[0034] A retaining ring 25 is threaded to the upper outer periphery of the vertical rod 23, and a short rod 26 is fixedly connected to one side of the retaining ring 25;
[0035] One end of the short rod 26 is fixedly connected to the connector 12, and the top center of the vertical rod 23 has a water inlet 27;
[0036] The inlet 27 is connected to the collection tank 24, and the bottom of the outer side of the connecting pipe 22 is inserted into the inlet 27;
[0037] The retaining ring 25 is used to limit the vertical rod 23 during use. The short rod 26 is used to connect the retaining ring 25 and the connector 12. The water inlet 27 is used for water in the connecting pipe 22 to enter the collection tank 24. The connecting pipe 22 is inserted into the water inlet 27, which makes it easy to remove the vertical rod 23. Rotating the vertical rod 23 causes the vertical rod 23 to separate from the retaining ring 25 through the thread, which causes the water inlet 27 to separate from the connecting pipe 22, thereby realizing the removal of the vertical rod 23.
[0038] Working principle: When the component is not in use, there is no leakage at the lower end of the shower head pipe and the connection end 14. When leakage occurs at the lower end of the pipe and the connection end 14, the water is confined inside the fixed cover 21, allowing the water in the fixed cover 21 to enter the collection tank 24 inside the vertical rod 23 through the connecting pipe 22. This causes the collection tank 24 to collect the leaked water, preventing water waste. When the collection tank 24 is full, the vertical rod 23 can be rotated by hand, causing the vertical rod 23 to separate from the fixed ring 25 through the thread, causing the water inlet 27 to separate from the connecting pipe 22. This allows the vertical rod 23 to be removed, and the water in the collection tank 24 to be reused.
[0039] Please see Figure 1 , Figures 5-6 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further includes:
[0040] Sealing components;
[0041] The sealing assembly includes a protective gasket 31, a sealing gasket 32, and a cutting piece 33; the protective gasket 31 is sleeved on the surface of the water pipe that is threadedly connected to the lower end 15, the sealing gasket 32 is fixed to the inside of the protective gasket 31 and fits against the connection of the lower end 15, and the cutting piece 33 is inserted into the inside of the connection between the water pipe and the lower end 15.
[0042] The protective gasket 31 is used to connect the sealing gasket 32. The sealing gasket 32 and the cutting piece 33 are used together to seal the connection between the water pipe and the lower end 15 to prevent leakage.
[0043] A notch 34 is provided on one side of the protective pad 31, and magnetic blocks 35 are fixedly connected to both sides of the notch 34. The protective pad 31 is connected through the magnetic blocks 35.
[0044] The notch 34 is used for connecting the magnetic block 35, and the magnetic block 35 is used for fitting the protective pad 31. When the protective pad 31 is used, it is wrapped around the surface of the water pipe, so that the protective pad 31 is attracted by the magnetic force of the magnetic block 35, causing the protective pad 31 to fit onto the surface of the water pipe, so that the cutting piece 33 is inserted into the inner side of the connection between the water pipe and the lower end 15, thereby preventing leakage at the connection between the water pipe and the lower end 15.
[0045] Working principle: When the component is not in use, the cutting piece 33 is not inserted into the inside of the connection between the water pipe and the lower end 15. When the component is in use, hold the protective pad 31 by hand, insert the cutting piece 33 into the inside of the connection between the water pipe and the lower end 15, and then wrap the protective pad 31 around the surface of the water pipe. The protective pad 31 is attracted by the magnetic force of the magnetic block 35, causing the protective pad 31 to fit onto the surface of the water pipe. This allows the sealing pad 32 and the cutting piece 33 to seal the connection between the water pipe and the lower end 15, thereby preventing leakage at the connection between the water pipe and the lower end 15.
