Description
A solar water heater with antifreeze function Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar thermal utilization technology, and in particular to a solar water heater with antifreeze function. Background Technology
[0002] Solar water heaters are energy-saving and environmentally friendly hot water supply devices that utilize solar radiation to heat water. Widely used in homes and other places, they provide ample and environmentally friendly hot water for daily activities such as bathing, laundry, and washing vegetables, effectively reducing reliance on traditional energy sources like electricity and gas. When sunlight shines on the surface of the collector tubes, their internal coatings and other structures capture the energy carried by the sunlight as much as possible, converting it into heat energy. This heat is then transferred to the water or heat transfer medium inside the tubes, raising its temperature. The heat is then carried to the storage tank through a circulation system, gradually heating the water in the tank and ultimately providing hot water for people. The supply of usable hot water is achieved by coating the inner wall of the collector tube with a nano-composite coating. This coating forms a thin but highly insulating film on the inner wall of the collector tube, reducing the rate at which heat is transferred to the outside through the tube wall. In cold weather, this slows down heat loss from the tube, keeping the water temperature at a relatively high level and reducing the possibility of water freezing, thus achieving antifreeze effect. The solar altitude angle changes significantly with the seasons, but the angle of a solar water heater is usually fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the seasons. This makes it difficult to achieve the ideal hot water supply temperature and volume in different seasons, and cannot well meet the daily water needs of users in different seasons.

[0030] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] Referring to Figures 1 to 9, this is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a solar water heater with antifreeze function. The solar water heater with antifreeze function includes a main component 100 and an adjustment component 200. The two components work together to adjust the angle of the solar water heater according to the seasons, which helps to meet the user's water needs at different times of the year.
[0033] The main component 100 includes a water heater body 101, a heat collection pipe 102 is provided on one side of the water heater body 101, and a base plate 103 is provided at one end of the heat collection pipe 102.
[0034] The water heater body 101 is the main part of the entire solar water heater, which undertakes the functions of containing water, storing and transferring heat, and laying the foundation for providing hot water. The heat collection tube 102 is used to absorb solar radiation energy and convert it into heat energy and transfer it to the water in the water heater body 101 to help the water heat up. The base plate 103 can support the heat collection tube 102 and prevent the heat collection tube 102 from shifting.
[0035] An adjustment component 200 is disposed on the water heater body 101 and includes an adjustment element 201. The adjustment element 201 includes a base 2011, which is disposed at the bottom of the water heater body 101. An adjustment rod 2012 is hinged to the top of the base 2011. A bracket 2013 is fixed to the bottom of the water heater body 101, and a top rod 2014 is hinged to the bottom of the bracket 2013.
[0036] The adjusting rod 2012 is fixed to the bottom of the water heater body 101. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the heat collection tube 102 to better adapt to the sun's rays, the adjusting rod 2012 is moved. This moves the water heater body 101 and then the heat collection tube 102, thus adjusting the angle of the heat collection tube 102. The base 2011 supports one end of the adjusting rod 2012 to prevent it from shifting. The bracket 2013 supports the water heater body 101. The top rod 2014 cooperates with the bracket 2013 to prevent the water heater body 101 from shifting due to excessive weight of the water tank.
[0037] Example 2
[0038] Referring to Figures 2 to 9, this is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.
[0039] Specifically, the adjustment component 200 also includes a drive component 202, which includes a drive frame 2021. The drive frame 2021 is fixed to the bottom of the adjustment rod 2012, and a pressing rod 2022 is hinged to the bottom of the drive frame 2021.
[0040] When it is necessary to move the adjusting rod 2012 to adjust the angle of the water heater body 101, the pressing rod 2022 is moved. At this time, the pressing rod 2022 can press the drive frame 2021 to move, and the movement of the drive frame 2021 can drive the adjusting rod 2012 to move.
[0041] Specifically, a positioning plate 2023 is hinged to the bottom of the extrusion rod 2022, the positioning plate 2023 is fixed to the top of the base 2011, and a worm gear 2024 is fixed to one side of the extrusion rod 2022.
[0042] The positioning plate 2023 can support the extrusion rod 2022 and prevent it from shifting. By rotating the worm gear 2024, the extrusion rod 2022 can be rotated, so that one end of it presses against the drive frame 2021.
[0043] Specifically, a worm 2025 is provided at the bottom of the worm wheel 2024. The worm wheel 2024 and the worm 2025 mesh with each other. A positioning block 2026 is sleeved on the outside of the worm 2025. The worm 2025 and the positioning block 2026 are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft.
[0044] A turntable is provided at one end of the worm gear 2025, which can be manually rotated to drive the worm gear 2025 to rotate. The rotation of the worm gear 2025 can drive the worm wheel 2024 to rotate. There are two positioning blocks 2026, both of which are fixed to one side of the base 2011. The positioning blocks 2026 can support the worm gear 2025 and prevent the worm gear 2025 from shifting.
[0045] Specifically, the adjustment component 200 also includes a support 203, which includes a positioning tube 2031. The positioning tube 2031 is sleeved on the outside of the top rod 2014, and the positioning tube 2031 and the top rod 2014 are movably connected.
[0046] The positioning tube 2031 is hinged to the top of the base 2011. When the angle of the water heater body 101 is adjusted, the top rod 2014 can be moved inside the positioning tube 2031. At this time, the positioning tube 2031 can support the top rod 2014 and prevent the top rod 2014 from shifting.
[0047] Specifically, a first spring 2032 is fixed to the inner wall of the positioning tube 2031, and one end of the first spring 2032 is fixed to one end of the top rod 2014.
[0048] When the push rod 2014 moves inside the positioning tube 2031, it can compress the first spring 2032. The rebound force of the first spring 2032 can drive the push rod 2014 back to its original position.
[0049] Specifically, a limit block 2033 is provided at one end of the top rod 2014, and a hinge rod 2034 is hinged to one side of the limit block 2033.
[0050] A limiting groove corresponding to the limiting block 2033 is provided on the inner wall of the positioning tube 2031. The limiting block 2033 is set as an inclined surface. When the angle of the water heater body 101 is adjusted, the top rod 2014 can be moved. At this time, the top rod 2014 will drive the limiting block 2033 to slide in the limiting groove. After the water heater body 101 is adjusted to the designated position, the limiting groove can limit the top rod 2014. At this time, the water tank on the water heater body 101 can be supported by limiting the top rod 2014. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the water heater body 101 to the initial position, the hinge rod 2034 is moved. At this time, the hinge rod 2034 will drive the limiting block 2033 to separate from the limiting groove, thereby releasing the limiting of the top rod 2014. Then the angle of the water heater body 101 can be adjusted. Before adjustment, the water in the water tank can be drained appropriately to reduce the weight of the water tank and make it easier to adjust.
[0051] Example 3
[0052] Referring to Figures 1 to 9, this is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.
[0053] Specifically, a positioning post 2035 is inserted into one side of the hinge rod 2034, and a support plate 2036 is sleeved on the outside of the positioning post 2035. A torsion spring 2037 is fixed on one side of the support plate 2036, and one end of the torsion spring 2037 is fixed to one side of the hinge rod 2034.
[0054] The positioning pin 2035 is fixed to the inner wall of the positioning tube 2031 and rotated. The positioning pin 2035 is rotatably connected to the positioning pin 2035 through the rotating shaft. When the hinge rod 2034 is rotated, a torsional force can be applied to the torsion spring 2037. The force of the rotation of the torsion spring 2037 can drive the hinge rod 2034 back to its original position, so that the limiting block 2033 can be engaged with the limiting groove. The support plate 2036 can support one end of the torsion spring 2037 to prevent the torsion spring 2037 from shifting.
[0055] Specifically, the adjustment assembly 200 also includes a movable component 204, which includes a pressing block 2041. The pressing block 2041 is disposed on one side of the hinge rod 2034. A movable rod 2042 is fixed to the top of the pressing block 2041, and a movable strip 2043 is fixed to the top of the movable rod 2042.
[0056] When the hinge rod 2034 needs to move, the pressing block 2041 moves to press the hinge rod 2034, which in turn moves the hinge rod 2034. The movable rod 2042 is inserted into the inner wall of the top rod 2014 and is movably connected to the top rod 2014. A return spring is fixed on the inner wall of the top rod 2014, with one end of the return spring fixed to the top of the movable rod 2042. Moving the movable rod 2042 moves the pressing block 2041 to press the hinge rod 2034, and at the same time applies a pressing force to the return spring. When the movable rod 2042 is released, the return force of the return spring causes the pressing block 2041 to return to its original position and release the pressing force on the hinge rod 2034. Pressing the movable bar 2043 moves the movable rod 2042.
[0057] Specifically, a sloped block 2044 is provided on one side of the movable strip 2043, a movable strip 2045 is fixed on one side of the sloped block 2044, a positioning sleeve 2046 is sleeved on the outside of the movable strip 2045, and the movable strip 2045 and the positioning sleeve 2046 are movably connected.
[0058] A pressing strip is fixed to one side of the inclined block 2044, and a rotating sleeve is fitted on the outside of the pressing strip. The rotating sleeve and the pressing strip are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft. A positioning frame is fixed to one side of the top rod 2014. By pressing the pressing strip, the inclined block 2044 can be driven to press the movable strip 2043. At the same time, the movement of the inclined block 2044 can drive the moving strip 2045 to move. A third spring is fixed to one end of the moving strip 2045. One end of the third spring is fixed to the inner wall of the positioning sleeve 2046. The positioning sleeve 2046 is fixed to the inner wall of the top rod 2014. When the moving strip 2045 moves, it can apply pressure to the third spring. To prevent the third spring's rebound force from causing the inclined block 2044 to return to its original position, the rotating sleeve is rotated to engage the stop on the rotating sleeve with the inner wall of the positioning frame. This limits the inclined block 2044, allowing it to continuously press against the movable strip 2043. Then, the worm gear 2025 can be rotated to adjust the angle of the water heater body 101. After adjustment, the rotating sleeve is reversed, at which point the stop can separate from the inner wall of the positioning sleeve 2046. Then, the rebound force of the third spring can cause the inclined block 2044 to return to its original position, releasing the pressure on the movable strip 2043.
[0059] In operation, rotating the worm gear 2025 drives the worm wheel 2024 to rotate. The rotation of the worm wheel 2024 then drives the pressing rod 2022 to rotate, causing one end to press against the drive frame 2021. The movement of the drive frame 2021 moves the adjusting rod 2012, which in turn moves the water heater body 101, and subsequently the heat collector tube 102. This allows for adjustment of the angle of the heat collector tube 102. The movement of the water heater body 101 also drives... When the bracket 2013 moves, it can drive the top rod 2014 to move within the positioning tube 2031. At the same time, it can apply a pulling force to the first spring 2032. When the top rod 2014 moves within the positioning tube 2031, it can drive the limiting block 2033 to slide within the limiting groove. After the water heater body 101 is adjusted to the designated position, the top rod 2014 can be limited by the setting of the limiting groove. At this time, the water tank on the water heater body 101 can be supported by limiting the top rod 2014.
[0060] When the angle of the water heater body 101 needs to be adjusted to its original position, the limiting force on the top rod 2014 needs to be released. By pressing the compression bar, the inclined block 2044 is moved. The movement of the inclined block 2044 can compress the movable bar 2043. At the same time, the movement of the inclined block 2044 can drive the moving bar 2045 to move. When the moving bar 2045 moves, it can apply a compressing force to the third spring. At this time, in order to prevent the third spring from rebounding and causing the inclined block 2044 to return to its original position, the rotating sleeve is rotated, so that the stop on the rotating sleeve engages with the inner wall of the positioning frame, thereby limiting the inclined block 2044 and making it continuously compress the movable bar 2043. The compression of the movable bar 2043 can drive the movable rod 2042 to move. The movement of the movable rod 2042 can drive the compression block 2041 to move and compress the hinge rod 2034. At the same time, it can apply a compressing force to the return spring. When the hinge rod 2034 is compressed and rotated, it can apply a compressing force to the torsion spring. A torsional force is applied to hinge rod 2034, causing it to move. Hinged rod 2034 then separates limit block 2033 from limit groove, releasing the limit on top rod 2014. The angle of water heater body 101 can then be adjusted. After adjustment, the rotating sleeve is reversed, separating the stop block from the inner wall of positioning sleeve 2046. The return force of the third spring then returns inclined block 2044 to its original position, releasing the restriction on movable bar 2. The compression of 043 is then relieved by the return force of the reset spring, which causes the compression block 2041 to return to its original position. The hinge rod 2034 can then return to its original position by the rotation force of the torsion spring 2037, thereby allowing the limit block 2033 to engage with the limit groove to limit the top rod 2014. The top rod 2014 and the bracket 2013 work together to prevent the water tank of the water heater body 101 from being too heavy and causing the water heater body 101 to shift.
[0061] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
