[0045] To meet people's need for cold drinking water, some water treatment devices have added the function of producing cold water. However, a large amount of heat is generated during the cold water production process. In related technologies, this heat is directly discharged instead of being reused, resulting in energy waste.
[0046] In view of this, the present invention provides a water treatment device and water treatment system that can reuse the heat generated in the process of preparing cold water and reduce energy waste.
[0047] Example 1:
[0048] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the water treatment device 100 provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a temperature regulating device 10 and a heat dissipation unit 20. The temperature regulating device 10 is used to regulate the temperature of the water. In specific applications, the temperature regulating device 10 can cool the water to produce cold water or heat the water to produce hot water. The heat dissipation unit 20 is connected to the temperature regulating device 10 and is used to absorb the heat generated by the temperature regulating device 10. That is, when the temperature regulating device 10 cools (refrigerates) the water, it generates a large amount of heat. The heat dissipation unit 20 can absorb the heat generated by the temperature regulating device 10, which is beneficial for the temperature regulating device 10 to produce cold water.
[0049] Please see Figures 2 to 4The temperature control device 10 includes a temperature control body 11, a cooling component 12 connected to the cold end of the temperature control body 11, and a heat dissipation component 13 connected to the hot end of the temperature control body 11. The water treatment device 100 also includes a cold water tank 30, with at least a portion of the cooling component 12 placed inside the cold water tank 30, or the cooling component 12 having a cooling pipe connecting to the cold water tank 30 inside. The cooling component 12 is used to cool the water in the cold water tank 30 to generate cold water. The heat dissipation unit 20 is connected to the heat dissipation component 13 and absorbs the heat from the heat dissipation component 13.
[0050] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The water treatment device 100 also includes a heat absorption pipe 40, which is thermally connected to at least a portion of the heat dissipation unit 20. The heat absorption pipe 40 is at least used to connect to the upstream of the external water supply device 200 or to the external heat exchange pipe 300. In this embodiment, the heat absorption pipe 40 is connected to the upstream of the external water supply device 200.
[0051] By adopting the above technical solution, the heat absorption pipe 40 is thermally connected to at least part of the heat dissipation unit 20, and heat exchange occurs between the heat absorption pipe 40 and the heat dissipation unit 20. The heat dissipation unit 20 can transfer the heat absorbed by the heat dissipation component 13 to the heat absorption pipe 40. By connecting the heat absorption pipe 40 upstream of the external water supply device 200 or to the external heat exchange pipe 300, the heat absorbed by the heat absorption pipe 40 can be transferred to the external water supply device 200 or the heat exchange pipe 300, so that the heat can be utilized by the water supply device 200 or other external devices connected to the heat exchange pipe 300. Therefore, the water treatment device 100 provided in this embodiment can utilize the heat generated by its temperature control device 10, reducing energy waste.
[0052] Please see Figures 2 to 4 The heat dissipation unit 20 includes a cooling pipe 21 connected to the temperature regulating device 10. The cooling pipe 21 is used to absorb the heat generated by the temperature regulating device 10. The heat absorption pipe 40 is thermally connected to the cooling pipe 21. In specific applications, the cooling pipe 21 is connected to the heat dissipation component 13, and the temperature of the water supplied to the cooling pipe 21 is lower than the temperature of the heat dissipation component 13. When the cooling pipe 21 and the heat dissipation component 13 exchange heat, the water in the cooling pipe 21 can absorb the heat from the heat dissipation component 13. By setting the cooling pipe 21 to absorb the heat generated by the temperature regulating device 10, the heat dissipation unit 20 can dissipate heat from the temperature regulating device 10 through water cooling. Compared with the method of using a fan for heat dissipation, the water cooling method has higher heat dissipation efficiency, lower noise, and is less affected by ambient temperature.
[0053] In one embodiment, the heat dissipation component 13 is provided with a water guiding channel (not shown). The cooling pipe 21 includes a first cooling pipe section 211 and a second cooling pipe section 212. One end of the first cooling pipe section 211 is connected to the inlet of the water guiding channel, and the other end of the first cooling pipe section 211 forms the input end of the cooling pipe 21. One end of the second cooling pipe section 212 is connected to the outlet of the water guiding channel, and the other end of the second cooling pipe section 212 forms the output end of the cooling pipe 21. The heat absorption pipe 40 is thermally connected to the second cooling pipe section 212.
[0054] In specific applications, water flows sequentially through the first cooling pipe section 211, the water guiding channel, and the second cooling pipe section 212. Since the water absorbs heat from the heat dissipation component 13 as it flows through the water guiding channel, the water temperature in the second cooling pipe section 212 is higher than the water temperature in the first cooling pipe section 211. By providing a heat-absorbing pipe 40 that is thermally connected to the second cooling pipe section 212, it is beneficial for the heat-absorbing pipe 40 to absorb heat. In another embodiment, the cooling pipe 21 can also be a single, integral pipe that passes through the heat dissipation component. In this technical solution, the water temperature near its output end in the cooling pipe 21 is higher than the water temperature near its input end.
[0055] In one embodiment, the heat-absorbing pipe 40 is arranged adjacent to or connected to the second cooling pipe section 212 via a heat-conducting component. Because the water temperature in the second cooling pipe section 212 is relatively high, the heat-absorbing pipe 40 is arranged adjacent to or connected to the second cooling pipe section 212 via a heat-conducting component so that the water in the heat-absorbing pipe 40 can exchange heat with the water in the second cooling pipe section 212, causing the water in the heat-absorbing pipe 40 to absorb heat and its temperature to rise.
[0056] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The water treatment device 100 also includes a water supply path 50, a filter assembly 60, and a cold water tank 30 connected to the temperature control device 10. The filter assembly 60 filters the flowing water to produce pure water. The cold water tank 30 stores cold water. The output end of the water supply path 50 is connected to the input end of the cooling pipe 21, and the input end of the water supply path 50 is connected to at least one of the water source, the filter assembly 60, and the cold water tank 30. Figure 2 The diagram shows the water supply path 50 with its input end connected to the water source. Figure 3 The diagram shows the water circuit where the input of the water supply circuit 50 connects to the filter assembly 60 and the cold water tank 30. It should be noted that... Figure 3 Only one water circuit structure is shown, where the input end of the water supply path 50 is connected to the filter assembly 60 and the cold water tank 30. This water circuit structure where the input end of the water supply path 50 is connected to the filter assembly 60 and the cold water tank 30 is not subject to change. Figure 3 limit.
[0057] In specific applications, the filter assembly 60 can be connected to the cold water tank 30 to deliver pure water to the cold water tank 30. The filter assembly 60 can also be connected to the pure water circuit to discharge the filtered pure water out of the water treatment device 100. The output end of the water replenishment circuit 50 is connected to the first cooling pipe section 211.
[0058] By connecting the input end of the water supply path 50 to at least one of the water source, the filter assembly 60, and the cold water tank 30, water from different sources can flow through the water guide channel to meet different application scenarios. For example, when the input end of the water supply path 50 is connected to the water source, water can be supplied to the cooling pipe 21 through the water supply path 50 when the water treatment device 100 is discharging water; when the input end of the water supply path 50 is connected to the cold water tank 30, cold water with a temperature lower than room temperature can be provided to the cooling pipe 21 through the water supply path 50.
[0059] In one embodiment, the water treatment device 100 is provided with a first interface 71 and a second interface 72. One end of the first interface 71 is connected to the input end of the heat absorption pipe 40, and the other end of the first interface 71 is used to connect to a water source or to connect to the output end of the heat exchange pipe 300. One end of the second interface 72 is connected to the output end of the heat absorption pipe 40, and the other end of the second interface 72 is used to connect to the upstream of the water supply device 200 or to connect to the input end of the heat exchange pipe 300. In this embodiment, the other end of the first interface 71 is connected to a water source, and the other end of the second interface 72 is connected to the upstream of the water supply device 200, so that the heat absorption pipe 40 is connected to the upstream of the water supply device 200. In specific applications, the water treatment device 100 also includes a housing 70, and the temperature regulating device 10 and the heat dissipation unit 20 are both disposed inside the housing 70. The first interface 71 and the second interface 72 are both disposed in the housing 70, and both ends of the heat absorption pipe 40 are connected to the inner side of the housing 70.
[0060] Furthermore, this embodiment of the invention also provides a water treatment system, including the water treatment device 100 described above. By employing the water treatment device 100, the heat generated by the temperature control device 10 can be utilized, reducing energy waste.
[0061] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The water treatment system also includes a water supply device 200, with a heat absorption pipe 40 connected upstream of the water supply device 200. In specific applications, the other end of the first interface 71 is connected to a water source, and the other end of the second interface 72 is connected to the inlet of the water supply device 200. Thus, water flows into the heat absorption pipe 40 through the first interface 71, where it exchanges heat with the second cooling pipe section 212 to generate hot water, which is then transported to the water supply device 200 through the second interface 72. Therefore, the heat generated by the temperature control device 10 can be used to generate hot water, thus realizing the utilization of heat.
[0062] In one embodiment, the water supply device 200 includes any one of a faucet, a water dispenser, and a water heater. When the water supply device 200 includes a faucet, it can supply hot water to the faucet, enabling the faucet to provide hot water. When the water supply device 200 is a water dispenser or a water heater, it can provide preheated hot water to the water dispenser or water heater, thereby reducing the power consumption of the heating device in the water dispenser or water heater. It should be noted that the water supply device 200 can also be other devices that supply water, and there is no limitation on the water supply device 200 herein.
[0063] Example 2:
[0064] The main difference between this embodiment and the water treatment device 100 and water treatment system provided in Embodiment 1 lies in the structure of the heat dissipation unit 20. Specifically, in Embodiment 1, the heat dissipation unit 20 does not have a circulating water tank 23; while in this embodiment, the heat dissipation unit 20 is equipped with a circulating water tank 23.
[0065] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The heat dissipation unit 20 includes a cooling pipe 21, a circulating pump 22, and a circulating water tank 23. The cooling pipe 21 is connected to the temperature control device 10, and its input end is connected to the outlet of the circulating water tank 23, while its output end is connected to the inlet of the circulating water tank 23. The circulating pump 22 is located on the cooling pipe 21. The heat absorption pipe 40 is thermally connected to the cooling pipe 21 and / or the circulating water tank 23. In this embodiment, the heat absorption pipe 40 is thermally connected to the cooling pipe 21.
[0066] Specifically, the first cooling pipe section 211 is connected between the outlet of the circulating water tank 23 and the inlet of the water guiding channel, and the second cooling pipe section 212 is connected between the outlet of the water guiding channel and the inlet of the circulating water tank 23. The circulating pump 22 is located in either the first cooling pipe section 211 or the second cooling pipe section 212. In this way, the first cooling pipe section 211, the water guiding channel, the second cooling pipe section 212, and the circulating water tank 23 form an internal circulation pipeline. Even when the water treatment device 100 stops discharging water, the water can still cool the heat dissipation component 13 by flowing through the internal circulation pipeline. The heat absorption pipe 40 is thermally connected to the second cooling pipe section 212.
[0067] It should be noted that when the input end of the water supply path 50 is connected to a water source, the water treatment device 100 also includes a water conveyance path 80, which connects the outlet of the water guiding channel and the filter assembly 60. In this way, the water flowing through the water guiding channel can also flow into the filter assembly 60 via the water supply path 80, supplying water to the filter assembly 60. In specific applications, the water guiding channel can be provided with two outlets, namely a first outlet and a second outlet. The first outlet connects to the water supply path 80, and the second outlet connects to the second cooling pipe section 212.
[0068] Apart from the differences mentioned above, the water treatment device 100, water treatment system and its components provided in this embodiment can be designed with reference to Embodiment 1, and will not be described here.
[0069] Example 3:
[0070] The main difference between this embodiment and the water treatment device 100 and water treatment system provided in Embodiment 2 lies in the connection between the heat absorption pipe 40 and the heat dissipation unit 20. Specifically, in Embodiment 2, the heat absorption pipe 40 is thermally connected to the cooling pipe 21; while in this embodiment, the heat absorption pipe 40 is thermally connected to the circulating water tank 23.
[0071] After the water absorbs heat to generate hot water in the water guiding channel, it flows into the circulating water tank 23 through the second cooling pipe section 212. Therefore, the water temperature in the circulating water tank 23 is relatively high. The heat absorption pipe 40 is set up to be thermally connected to the circulating water tank 23, so that the water in the heat absorption pipe 40 can exchange heat with the water in the circulating water tank 23, thereby increasing the water temperature in the heat absorption pipe 40 and reducing heat waste.
[0072] In one embodiment, the heat-absorbing pipe 40 is attached to or connected via a heat-conducting component to at least a portion of the circulating water tank 23, thereby enabling heat exchange between the heat-absorbing pipe 40 and the circulating water tank 23. Please refer to... Figure 7 The heat absorption pipe 40 is arranged around the circumference of the circulating water tank 23.
[0073] It is understood that in other embodiments, the heat absorption pipe 40 may also extend into the interior of the circulating water tank 23.
[0074] Apart from the differences mentioned above, the water treatment device 100, water treatment system and its components provided in this embodiment can be designed with reference to Embodiments 1 and 2, and will not be described further here.
[0075] Example 4:
[0076] The main difference between this embodiment and the water treatment device 100 and water treatment system provided in embodiments one to three is whether or not a heating tank 91 is provided. Specifically, in embodiments one to three, the water treatment device 100 does not have a heating tank 91; while in this embodiment, the water treatment device 100 also includes a heating tank 91.
[0077] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 9The water treatment device 100 also includes a heating tank 91 and a water guide passage 92 connected to the inlet of the heating tank 91. The heating tank 91 and / or the water guide passage 92 are thermally connected to the heat dissipation unit 20. This allows the heat generated by the temperature control device 10 to provide preheated water to the heating tank 91 or to keep the heating tank 91 warm. It is understood that in other embodiments, the heating tank 91 and / or the water guide passage 92 may also be thermally connected to the heat absorption pipe 40.
[0078] In specific applications, the heating tank 91 and / or the water channel 92 can be thermally connected to the heat dissipation unit 20 according to different structures of the heat dissipation unit 20. It should be noted that the method of thermal connection between the heating tank 91 and / or the water channel 92 and the heat dissipation unit 20 is not limited to... Figure 8 and Figure 9 Restrictions.
[0079] Apart from the differences mentioned above, the water treatment device 100, water treatment system and its components provided in this embodiment can be designed with reference to Embodiments 1 to 3, and will not be described here.
[0080] Example 5:
[0081] The main difference between this embodiment and the water treatment device 100 and water treatment system provided in embodiments one to four is that the other end of the second interface 72 is connected to a different component. Specifically, in embodiments one to four, the other end of the second interface 72 is connected to the upstream of the water supply device 200; while in this embodiment, the other end of the second interface 72 is connected to the input end of the heat exchange pipeline 300.
[0082] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 10 The water treatment system also includes a heat exchange pipeline 300 and a heat demand device 400. The heat absorption pipeline 40 is connected to the heat exchange pipeline 300, and the heat exchange pipeline 300 and the heat demand device 400 are connected for heat exchange. In specific applications, the other end of the second interface 72 is connected to the input end of the heat exchange pipeline 300, and the heat absorption pipeline 40 is connected to the heat exchange pipeline 300 through the second interface 72.
[0083] By connecting the heat absorption pipe 40 to the heat exchange pipe 300, the hot water in the heat absorption pipe 40 can flow into the heat exchange pipe 300. By connecting the heat exchange pipe 300 to the heat demand device 400, the heat exchange pipe 300 can transfer heat to the heat demand device 400 for its use, thus reducing heat waste.
[0084] It should be noted that when using this technical solution, the other end of the first interface 71 can be connected to a water source or to the output end of the heat exchange pipeline 300. When the other end of the first interface 71 is connected to the output end of the heat exchange pipeline 300, the heat absorption pipeline 40 and the heat exchange pipeline 300 can form a circulation pipeline.
[0085] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 10 The heat demand device 400 includes a heat demand body 401 and a hot water supply pipe 402 connected to the inlet of the heat demand body 401. A heat exchange pipe 300 is arranged adjacent to the hot water supply pipe 402 or connected via a heat-conducting component. Since the hot water in the heat absorption pipe 40 flows into the heat exchange pipe 300, the water temperature in the heat exchange pipe 300 is relatively high. The heat exchange pipe 300 is arranged adjacent to the hot water supply pipe 402 or connected via a heat-conducting component so that the water in the heat exchange pipe 300 can exchange heat with the water in the hot water supply pipe 402. The water in the hot water supply pipe 402 absorbs heat, and its temperature rises.
[0086] In one embodiment, the heat-requiring device 400 includes any one of a hot water tank, a hot water bag, and an insulated box. It should be noted that the heat-requiring device 400 is not limited to these and may also include other devices that require heat.
[0087] Apart from the differences mentioned above, the water treatment device 100, water treatment system and its components provided in this embodiment can be designed with reference to embodiments one to four, and will not be described here.
[0088] Example 6:
[0089] The main difference between this embodiment and the water treatment device 100 and water treatment system provided in Embodiment 5 lies in the different arrangement of the heat exchange pipeline 300. Specifically, in Embodiment 5, the heat exchange pipeline 300 is arranged adjacent to the hot water supply pipeline 402 or connected through a heat-conducting component; while in this embodiment, the heat exchange pipeline 300 is attached to or connected through a heat-conducting component to at least a portion of the area of the heat-requiring device 400.
[0090] By setting up heat exchange pipes 300 attached to or connected to at least a portion of the heat-requiring device 400 via heat-conducting components, the water in the heat exchange pipes 300 can exchange heat with the water in the heat-requiring device 400, and the water in the heat-requiring device 400 absorbs heat and its temperature rises.
[0091] Please see Figure 11 In one embodiment, the heat exchange pipeline 300 is arranged circumferentially around the heat demand device 400, so as to realize heat exchange between the heat exchange pipeline 300 and the heat demand device 400.
[0092] Apart from the differences mentioned above, the water treatment device 100, water treatment system and its components provided in this embodiment can be designed with reference to Embodiment 5, and will not be described here.
[0093] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
