Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water circuit control technology for gas water heaters, and in particular to a water circuit control device that facilitates water replenishment and adjustment. Background Technology

[0002] The water circuit control device of a gas water heater is a crucial component for controlling heating water and domestic hot water in a home. To improve energy efficiency, most gas water heaters utilize a heat exchanger plate to exchange heat between heating water and cold water to obtain domestic hot water. The entire heating water system operates within a essentially closed piping system. Traditional gas water heater water circuit control devices have some shortcomings in terms of water replenishment regulation. For example, an improperly designed water replenishment valve often leads to cumbersome replenishment operations and makes inspection and maintenance difficult. This not only results in energy waste and reduced system efficiency but also shortens the equipment's lifespan. Therefore, designing a water circuit control device that facilitates water replenishment regulation is a subject of research for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by providing a water circuit control device that facilitates water replenishment and adjustment.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a water circuit control device for easy water replenishment adjustment, including an inlet valve and an outlet valve, with a heat exchange plate installed between the inlet valve and the outlet valve. The inlet valve includes a first horizontal pipe and a second horizontal pipe arranged vertically. One end of the first horizontal pipe is vertically connected to a first vertical pipe, and the other end is connected to a water pump interface and a pressure gauge interface, respectively. A water replenishment valve is provided inside the first vertical pipe, which is connected to one end of the second horizontal pipe. The other end of the second horizontal pipe is connected to a cold water inlet pipe, and a flow sensor is provided at the connection between the second horizontal pipe and the cold water inlet pipe. The first horizontal pipe, the second horizontal pipe, and the first vertical pipe are connected by a connecting plate to form a water replenishment horizontal section. The water replenishment valve is located outside the cold water inlet pipe, and the water in the cold water inlet pipe flows to the rotor inside the vertical flow sensor. The rotor inside the flow sensor is arranged perpendicular to each other relative to the water replenishment horizontal section. This invention features an integrated water replenishment valve within the inlet valve. The inlet valve is vertically connected to the heat exchange plate, with the cold water inlet pipe located inside and the replenishment valve positioned outside. This design not only simplifies water replenishment but also facilitates inspection and maintenance of the replenishment valve, improving equipment reliability and lifespan. Furthermore, a flow sensor installed on the cold water inlet pipe allows for real-time monitoring of the cold water flow entering the device, ensuring system stability and safety.

[0005] The water supply valve includes a first valve stem, which controls whether the second parallel pipe is connected to the first vertical pipe by adjusting the first valve stem.

[0006] The rotor is sleeved at one end of the sensor base, and the other end of the sensor base is secured with a C-shaped clamp, which contains a magnet. A pin is fixedly connected to the sensor base, passing through a baffle. The baffle restricts the rotor's position within the flow sensor, preventing it from falling off during rotation and effectively reducing rotor friction.

[0007] The outlet valve includes a safety valve, a heating water circuit control valve, a heating water heat exchange plate connecting pipe, and a hot water heat exchange plate connecting pipe. The hot water heat exchange plate connecting pipe is connected to both a cold water inlet pipe and a hot water outlet pipe, and the hot water outlet pipe is equipped with a temperature sensor interface. The heating water circuit control valve includes a heating water inlet pipe, a heating water outlet pipe, and a heating heat exchange pipe connected to the heating water heat exchange plate connecting pipe. The heating heat exchange pipe is equipped with a pressure sensor interface. The safety valve includes a safety valve inlet pipe perpendicular to the heating water outlet pipe, and the safety valve inlet pipe is vertically connected to the safety valve outlet pipe. The cold water inlet pipe is equipped with an inlet filter screen to effectively prevent impurities from entering the water system and avoid clogging or damage to the equipment.

[0008] The heating hot water entering through the heating water inlet pipe is controlled by a water circuit control device to flow to the heating heat exchange pipe or the heating water outlet pipe; the water circuit control device includes a second valve stem controlled by a motor to move up and down, the second valve stem is connected to a first sealing seat and a second sealing seat that are spaced apart, the first sealing seat is connected to a first valve port under the control of the second valve stem, and the second sealing seat is connected to a second valve port under the control of the second valve stem.

[0009] The hot water outlet pipe, heating water outlet pipe, and heating water inlet pipe all use an integrated injection molding sealing process and a brass inlay process to effectively prevent the pipe openings from rotating or falling off.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model by adopting the above technical solution are as follows: By placing the water replenishment valve on the outside of the cold water inlet pipe, not only is convenient water replenishment adjustment and stable water flow control achieved, but also the water replenishment valve is easy to inspect and maintain, improving the reliability and service life of the equipment. Simultaneously, the flow sensor installed on the cold water inlet pipe can monitor the cold water flow rate entering the device in real time, ensuring the stability and safety of the system.
