Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water boiling equipment technology, and in particular to a water boiler. Background Technology
[0002] A water heater is a device capable of boiling and continuously supplying a preset amount of hot water (water at a temperature above 70℃). As an ideal solution for hot water supply in public places, it is widely used in schools, hospitals, train stations, and other locations. In existing technologies, water heaters utilize a water tank of a certain capacity and employ a "heating and storing simultaneously" method to continuously supply a preset amount of hot water (repeated heating maintains the water in the tank at a certain temperature, allowing for continuous supply of the preset amount of hot water when needed). However, through market research and actual production studies, the inventors discovered that the existing water heaters have the following problems: 1. Heating the water in the tank to a certain temperature easily leads to scale buildup inside the tank; 2. The energy consumption for heating to a certain temperature is relatively high.

For example, they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral molding; they can refer to a mechanical connection; they can refer to the internal connection of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a water dispenser, which includes a housing 100, a water tank 200, a pump 300, a secondary heating module 400, and a water outlet assembly 500, all disposed in the housing 100. The water tank 200 is provided with a heating tube assembly 900, which can heat the water in the water tank 200 to a first temperature. The water tank 200, the pump 300, the secondary heating module 400, and the water outlet assembly 500 are connected in sequence. The pump 300 enables the water in the water tank 200 at the first temperature to flow through the secondary heating module 400 and be heated to a second temperature before being output from the water outlet assembly 500.
[0034] With the above structure, the pump 300 enables water in the water tank 200 at a first temperature to flow through the secondary heating module 400 and be heated to a second temperature before being output from the water outlet assembly 500. The first temperature can be set to a specific warm water value (referring to water with a temperature between 50℃ and 70℃), and the second temperature can be set to a specific hot water value, allowing the water heater of this application to obtain hot water through secondary heating. Therefore, on the one hand, the heating element assembly 900 heats the water in the water tank 200 to a specific warm water value, which makes it less likely for scale to form in the water tank (scale generally forms more at higher temperatures); on the other hand, the energy consumption of heating the water to a specific warm water value is reduced compared to heating it to a specific hot water value.
[0035] It is understandable that a certain temperature value for warm water is a specific temperature value between 50℃ and 70℃, such as 55℃; and a certain temperature value for hot water is a specific temperature value greater than 70℃, such as 100℃.
[0036] In this embodiment, the secondary heating module 400 can be configured as an instantaneous integrated rapid heating module, etc.; the pump 300 is configured as a water pump.
[0037] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 A control box 600 is located on the front side of the chassis 100. The inner cavity of the chassis 100 and the inner cavity of the control box 600 are connected. A first opening 610 is provided at the bottom of the control box 600. The water outlet assembly 500 includes a drive component 510, a connecting frame 520, and a water outlet frame 530 connected in sequence. The drive component 510 and the connecting frame 520 are both located in the inner cavity of the chassis 100. The water outlet frame 530 is vertically and vertically inserted through the first opening 610. The water outlet frame 530 is located at the control box 600. The water outlet pipe 531 on the bottom side of the 00 is connected to one end of the secondary heating module 400. The pump 300 can make the water in the water tank 200 at the first temperature flow through the secondary heating module 400 and heat it to the second temperature before it is output from the other end of the water outlet pipe 531. The drive 510 can drive the water outlet frame 530 to rise and fall through the connecting frame 520 to adjust the height of the water outlet pipe 531 on it. The drive 510 is set as an electric push rod, etc.
[0038] With the above structure, the height of the water outlet section 531 can be adjusted, that is, the water outlet height can be adjusted to accommodate cups of different sizes.
[0039] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3The casing 100 is equipped with a first valve 710, the inlet of which is used to connect to an external water source. The top and bottom of the water tank 200 are respectively provided with a first pipe section 210 and a second pipe section 220, both of which are connected to the inner cavity of the water tank 200. The second pipe section 220 is connected to the outlet of the first valve 710. The first pipe section 210, the pump 300, the secondary heating module 400, and one end of the outlet pipe section 531 are connected in sequence. The first valve 710 is configured as a solenoid valve, and it has two outlets. One outlet of the first valve 710 is connected to the second pipe section 220, and the other outlet is connected to one end of the outlet pipe section 531.
[0040] With the above structure, the first valve 710 can selectively open one of the outlets to allow water to enter the water tank 200 through the second pipe section 220; the first valve 710 can selectively open the other outlet to allow water to be output from the other end of the outlet pipe section 531.
[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The chassis 100 is equipped with a first flow meter 810, a second flow meter 820 and a third flow meter 830.

The other outlet of the first valve 710, the second flow meter 820 and the water outlet pipe section 531 are connected in sequence. The first pipe section 210, the pump 300, the third flow meter 830, the secondary heating module 400 and the water outlet pipe section 531 are connected in sequence.
[0042] It is understandable that one of the outlets of the first valve 710, the first flow meter 810, and the second pipe section 220 are connected in sequence through pipe fittings.
[0043] It is understandable that the other outlet of the first valve 710, the second flow meter 820, and the outlet pipe 531 are connected in sequence via pipe fittings.
[0044] With the above structure, the first flow meter 810 can detect the water flow rate between the first valve 710 and the second pipe section 220 to detect the water flow rate flowing into the water tank 200; the second flow meter 820 can detect the water flow rate between the first valve 710 and the outlet pipe section 531 to detect the water flow rate directly from the water source; and the third flow meter 830 can detect the water flow rate between the pump 300 and the secondary heating module 400 to detect the water flow rate flowing into the secondary heating module 400.
[0045] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3The casing 100 is equipped with a second valve 720, and the bottom of the water tank 200 is equipped with a third pipe section 230 communicating with its inner cavity. The inlet of the second valve 720 is connected to the third pipe section 230 through a pipe fitting. The second valve 720 is configured as a solenoid valve.
[0046] Understandably, the second valve 720 can be opened to drain the residual water and wastewater from the water tank 200.
[0047] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 The casing 100 is equipped with a third valve 730, and the first pipe section 210, pump 300, third flow meter 830, secondary heating module 400, third valve 730, and outlet pipe section 531 are connected in sequence. Among them, the third valve 730 is a solenoid valve.
[0048] Understandably, the third valve 730 can be opened or closed to correspondingly enable or disable the output of hot water from the outlet pipe 531.
[0049] It is understandable that the first pipe section 210, pump 300, third flow meter 830, secondary heating module 400, third valve 730 and outlet pipe section 531 are connected in sequence through pipe fittings.
[0050] In this embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 The water tank 200, pump 300, and secondary heating module 400 are all located in the inner cavity of the casing 100. The connecting frame 520 is provided with a second port 521 that connects its inner cavity and the inner cavity of the casing 100. The water outlet frame 530 is provided with a third port 532. One end of the water outlet pipe 531 is located in the inner cavity of the water outlet frame 530, and the other end is located on the bottom side of the water outlet frame 530. The second port 521, the inner cavity of the connecting frame 520, the third port 532, and the inner cavity of the water outlet frame 530 are connected in sequence to form a pipe channel.
[0051] The above structure enables the piping connecting the third valve 730 and the outlet pipe 531 to be concealed during the raising and lowering of the outlet frame 530.
[0052] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
