Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a gas water heater, and more particularly to a gas water heater with circulating sewage discharge and cleaning, belonging to the field of water heater technology. Background Technology
[0002] Existing technology, such as the utility model application with application number 202021197516.7, discloses a circulating preheating gas water heater. To address the issues of frequent pump restarts or high water temperature at the water inlet (return water) but low water temperature at the outlet or in the pipes, especially in multi-functional gas water heaters where the presence of water in the return pipe easily leads to unstable outlet water temperature, this utility model installs a solenoid valve on the return pipe. This valve can cut off the loop in non-preheating mode or multi-functional mode, preventing the loop from affecting water pressure or the overall water heater, thus improving the independence of the preheating mode and ensuring a very stable outlet water temperature. Furthermore, the water pump is located on the inlet channel, which can pressurize the water and improve the bathing experience. Simultaneously, this utility model uses an outlet water temperature sensor to detect whether the outlet water temperature meets the start-up requirements, easily solving the problem of frequent pump restarts in gas water heaters with preheating functions, greatly improving the user experience.
[0003] The above-mentioned applications still have shortcomings:
[0004] When the water temperature in a gas water heater exceeds 60℃, scale is more likely to form. Existing water heaters generally cannot filter and clean the scale in the hot water during use, which can easily lead to clogging of faucets or showerheads. Even if scale can be filtered, the filter screen is prone to clogging during long-term use, affecting the performance.

A filter screen 11 is horizontally installed at the top inner end of the hot water discharge pipe 10. The top of the filter screen 11 is on the same horizontal plane as the end of the hot water discharge pipe 10. A cleaning component for cleaning impurities on the surface of the filter screen 11 is installed between the top of the hot water discharge pipe 10 and the bottom end of the hot water delivery pipe 6.
[0024] Overall working principle: During the use of the water heater body 1, the water in the household water pipes can be preheated and circulated through the use of the return water unit 2, ensuring that the water heater body 1 can provide hot water immediately. In addition, if the hot water contains scale, it is filtered by the filter screen 11 at the end of the hot water discharge pipe 10 to avoid clogging of the faucet or shower. After a long period of filtration, a certain amount of impurities will accumulate on the surface of the filter screen 11. In order to ensure the filtration effect, a cleaning component is used to sweep off the impurities on the surface of the filter screen 11.
[0025] In this embodiment, the cleaning assembly includes a volute 7, an impeller 8, a filter chamber 9, a shaft 12, and a scraper 13. The volute 7 is horizontally installed inside the water heater body 1. The bottom end of the hot water delivery pipe 6 is connected to the inside of the volute 7. The impeller 8 is rotatably installed at the middle position of the volute 7. The bottom of the volute 7 is fixed with a filter chamber 9 that is connected to the top end of the hot water discharge pipe 10. The bottom end of the impeller 8 is installed with a shaft 12. The bottom end of the shaft 12 is fixed with a scraper 13 that fits against the top of the filter screen 11. A sewage discharge mechanism 14 is provided at the bottom of the outer side of the filter chamber 9.
[0026] Local working principle: After hot water is discharged from the inside of the hot water delivery pipe 6, it enters the inside of the volute 7. The volute 7 guides the hot water, and the flowing hot water controls the rotation of the impeller 8. The rotation of the impeller 8 drives the scraper 13 at the bottom of the shaft 12 to rotate. The scraper 13 rotates against the surface of the filter screen 11, scraping off the impurities and discharging them outwards into the filter chamber 9. Then, the impurities can be discharged to the outside periodically through the sewage discharge mechanism 14.
[0027] In this embodiment, the top of the hot water discharge pipe 10 is higher than the horizontal plane at the bottom of the filter chamber 9, and the length of the scraper 13 is greater than the diameter of the hot water discharge pipe 10.
[0028] Local working principle: During the rotation of the scraper 13, the surface of the filter screen 11 can be cleaned in all directions, and the scraped-off impurities fall into the bottom of the filter chamber 9.
[0029] In this embodiment, the sewage discharge mechanism 14 includes a pipe receiving groove 15, a straight pipe 16, a switch valve 17, and a hose 19. The pipe receiving groove 15 is opened on the side of the water heater body 1. A straight pipe 16 is installed between the bottom of the side of the filter chamber 9 and the pipe receiving groove 15. A switch valve 17 is installed on the straight pipe 16. A hose 19 is installed at one end of the straight pipe 16 inside the pipe receiving groove 15.
[0030] Local working principle: When the impurities are discharged to the outside of the device, the hose 19 is taken out from the inside of the pipe receiving groove 15 and placed into the inside of the water tank. Then the switch valve 17 is opened, and the impurities inside the filter chamber 9 flow out with the water flow.
[0031] In this embodiment, the connection between the straight pipe 16 and the filter chamber 9 is lower than the horizontal plane at the top of the hot water discharge pipe 10, and the inner bottom of the filter chamber 9 is a slope, which is inclined toward the end of the straight pipe 16.
[0032] Local working principle: The inclined design of the bottom of filter chamber 9 can facilitate the complete discharge of impurities, making it more practical.
[0033] In this embodiment, a take-up reel 18 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the take-up groove 15, and a groove is provided on the outer side of the take-up reel 18. The hose 19 is wound on the take-up reel 18 and located inside the groove.
[0034] Local working principle: After the impurities are discharged, the hose 19 is wound around the take-up reel 18 for storage to prevent the hose 19 from becoming messy.
[0035] The above description is only a further embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the scope disclosed by the present utility model, based on the technical solution and concept of the present utility model, shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
