[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a device for reducing water molecule clusters, including an outer shell 1 and an inner shell 2 disposed within the outer shell 1. The top of the outer shell 1 is closed, and the bottom of the outer shell 1 is provided with a water outlet 11. The upper side of the outer shell 1 is provided with a water inlet connector 12 communicating with the inner cavity of the outer shell 1. The inner wall of the inner shell 2 is provided with a plurality of first magnet grooves 21 extending axially along the outer shell 1 at equal intervals, and a first magnet 3 is disposed in each of the first magnet grooves 21. A second magnet groove 22 parallel to the first magnet groove 21 is provided between adjacent first magnet grooves 21, and a second magnet 4 is disposed in each of the second magnet grooves 22. The magnetic field direction of the first magnet 3 and the second magnet 4 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2. The side wall of the inner shell 2 is provided with a water inlet 23 communicating with the inner cavity of the outer shell 1.
[0035] The water molecule cluster reduction generating device provided in this embodiment of the invention allows tap water to enter the outer shell 1 through the inlet connector 12, then enter the inner shell 2 through the inlet 23, and flow out towards the outlet 11. The water flow passes vertically through the magnetic field of the first magnet 3 and the second magnet 4, generating water with a small molecule cluster content of not less than 5%. Because a second magnet 4 is added between adjacent first magnets 3, compared to existing generating devices, the outer shell 1 and inner shell 2 of this invention can be enlarged without worrying about a weakening of the magnetic field due to increased volume, thus reducing the water molecule cluster reduction effect. This also solves the problem of scaling and clogging in the flow channel of the inner shell 2.
[0036] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the cross-sectional area of the second magnet groove 22 is smaller than that of the first magnet groove 21, and the cross-sectional area of the second magnet 4 is smaller than that of the first magnet 3. The smaller cross-sectional area of the second magnet 4 results in a smaller area occupied and does not affect the cross-section of the water flow channel.
[0037] To further reduce the risk of scaling and clogging in the flow channel of the inner shell 2, in one embodiment of this invention, the inner shell 2 is filled with a filter media containing scale-inhibiting material (not shown in the figure). The scale-inhibiting material can reduce the degree of scale precipitation such as calcium carbonate after water is heated, and it is not easy to form soap scum that adheres to the skin surface.
[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, both the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2 are cylindrical to facilitate assembly between them. Figure 2 As shown, the top of the outer casing 1 is sealed by a removable sealing plate 13. Preferably, the water inlet 23 on the inner casing 2 corresponds to the water inlet connector 12 on the outer casing 1 to reduce the resistance of water flow into the inner casing 2. Furthermore, a connecting flange 14 is provided on the outside of the water outlet 11 to facilitate connection with a water outlet pipe.
[0039] To prolong the interaction time between the water flow and the magnetic field, and to increase the formation rate of small water molecule clusters, such as... Figures 2-6As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the top end of the inner shell 2 is provided with a horizontal first partition 51, forming a transition cavity 50 between the first partition 51 and the top end of the outer shell 1. The inner wall of the bottom end of the inner shell 2 is provided with a horizontal second partition 52, and the first magnet groove 21 and the second magnet groove 22 are disposed between the first partition 51 and the second partition 52. A vertical third partition 53 and a fourth partition 54 are also provided between the first partition 51 and the second partition 52, dividing the space between the first partition 51 and the second partition 52 into a first flow channel 55, a second flow channel 56, and a third flow channel 57. The water inlet 23 is disposed on the side wall of the first flow channel 55, and the bottom end of the first flow channel 55 communicates with the bottom end of the second flow channel 56. The first partition 51 is provided with a first channel opening corresponding to the second flow channel 56 and the third flow channel 57, so that the tops of the second flow channel 56 and the third flow channel 57 are both connected to the transition cavity 50. The second partition 52 is provided with a second channel opening corresponding to and communicating with the third flow channel 57, so that water can flow into the outlet 11. In this embodiment, tap water enters the interior of the outer casing 1 through the inlet connector 12, then enters the first flow channel 55 through the inlet 23 and flows downward, then flows into the bottom of the second flow channel 56 and flows upward, then flows into the transition cavity 50 and flows downward from the top of the third flow channel 57, and finally flows into the outlet 11 through the second channel opening and flows out. The direction of water flow is shown by the arrow in the figure. During this process, the water flow can pass vertically back and forth through the magnetic fields of the first magnet and the second magnet to generate a high content of small water molecule clusters.
[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, there are three first magnet slots 21 and three second magnet slots 22. The first magnet slots 21 are provided on both sides of the first flow channel 55, the second flow channel 56, and the third flow channel 57, and the second magnet slots 22 are provided inside each of the first flow channel 55, the second flow channel 56, and the third flow channel 57. In this embodiment, the third partition 53 and the fourth partition 54 are connected in a herringbone shape, dividing the space between the first partition 51 and the second partition 52 into the first flow channel 55, the second flow channel 56, and the third flow channel 57. The first magnet slots 21 are located within the third partition 53 and the fourth partition 54. The first magnet 3 and the second magnet 4 are spaced at an angle of 60°. Connecting plates 221 are provided on both sides of the second magnet slot 22. One connecting plate extends to the cylindrical surface of the inner shell 2, and the other connecting plate extends to the center point of the inner shell 2, occupying a small area and not affecting the cross-section of the water flow channel. The number and angle of the first magnet 3 and the second magnet 4 can be further optimized. Without affecting the cross-sectional area of the water flow channel, the number of second magnets 4 can be increased to strengthen the magnetic field.
[0041] In one embodiment of this utility model, the first magnet 3 and the second magnet 4 include, but are not limited to, neodymium iron boron permanent magnets, with a magnetic force of 0.05~1.0T and a temperature resistance of 40℃~100℃.
[0042] To ensure that the water inlet 23 corresponds to the water inlet connector 12, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the outer shell 1 is provided with an anti-rotation protrusion 15, and the outer wall of the inner shell 2 is provided with an anti-rotation groove 24 corresponding to the anti-rotation protrusion 15.
[0043] To improve the sealing effect between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, a sealing ring 6 is provided between the bottom of the inner shell 2 and the inner wall of the outlet 11, which can also prevent the inner shell 2 from loosening and falling off.
[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, in order to facilitate the assembly of the inner shell 2, in one embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the inner shell 2 is provided with a handle 25.
[0045] like Figure 7 As shown, this utility model also provides a water heater, including the aforementioned device for generating water molecule clusters. This water heater can be an electric water heater, a gas water heater, or a dual-purpose boiler, etc. Specifically, the water heater includes a water heater body 7, which is provided with a cold water pipe 71 and a hot water pipe 72. The device for generating water molecule clusters is located on the hot water pipe 72. Tap water enters through the cold water pipe 71, flows into the water heater body 7 for heat exchange, enters the hot water pipe 72, and then enters the device for generating water molecule clusters, thereby generating a certain amount of small water molecule clusters. Of course, the device for generating water molecule clusters can also be located on the cold water pipe 71, or at the water outlet, shower head, etc., without limitation.
[0046] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the water heater and the device for reducing water molecule clusters provided by this utility model are:
[0047] (1) With a larger cross-sectional area of the water flow channel, the water flow rate increases by 2L / min;
[0048] (2) With the increase in the area of the water flow channel, the risk of scaling and clogging is reduced;
[0049] (3) Add a second magnet with a cross-sectional area smaller than the first magnet between the water flow channels. It occupies a small channel area and has almost no effect on the water flow. At the same time, it makes up for the problem of the weakening of the magnetic field between the two first magnets after the channel area is increased, and ensures the effect of reducing water molecule clusters.
[0050] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
