Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial water heater technology, specifically a high-performance industrial water heater. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of industrial hot water supply, the application of high-efficiency and energy-saving smart industrial water heaters is becoming increasingly widespread. Currently, a high-efficiency and energy-saving smart industrial water heater, such as the one disclosed in patent application number 202510420477.3, collects solar heat through a heat collection ring pipe to heat the water in the water pipe, forming a temperature barrier around the inner shell, thereby slowing down the rate of heat loss from the inner shell and achieving energy-saving effects.

[0003] However, the heat collection loop tube located on the support plate in this industrial water heater has a significant deficiency. The existing heat collection loop tube is fixedly installed on the support plate, and its orientation remains unchanged, unable to adjust its orientation according to the sun's position throughout the day. Since the sun's position constantly changes, when the angle between the heat collection loop tube's orientation and the direction of sunlight incidence is large, the tube's solar energy absorption efficiency decreases significantly. This results in the heat collection loop tube not fully utilizing solar energy during actual use, limiting the overall energy-saving effect of the water heater and preventing it from reaching its optimal operating state.

[0004] In order to improve the solar energy absorption efficiency of the heat collection loop and further enhance the energy-saving performance of industrial water heaters, it is urgent to design a structure that allows the heat collection loop to change its orientation as it moves with the sun, so as to solve the problem of reduced efficiency caused by the fixed orientation of the heat collection loop in the existing technology.

[0013] Furthermore, the support plate, heat collection ring pipe, water inlet pipe section, upper pipe joint and lower pipe joint are all concentrically arranged.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the support plate is provided with a reflective layer.

[0015] Furthermore, a light-concentrating cover is installed on the support plate, the top of the light-concentrating cover is arc-shaped along the circumferential direction, and a water outlet hole is opened on the side wall of the light-concentrating cover.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0027] like Figure 1-4As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a high-performance industrial water heater, including a water heater body 1 and a swing unit. A circular support plate 5 is provided above the water heater body 1. The swing unit is located between the water heater body 1 and the support plate 5 to drive the support plate 5 to swing. A circulation pipeline system and a reflective strip 8 are installed on the support plate 5.

[0028] The circulation pipeline system includes several concentric annular heat collection rings 7 with gradually increasing diameters from the inside to the outside. An annular reflective strip 8 is installed between two adjacent heat collection rings 7. The reflective strip 8 adjusts its angle toward the sun as the support plate 5 swings, so that the reflective strip 8 can fully absorb sunlight and then reflect it back to the heat collection ring 7.

[0029] The swing unit includes a pad 2, a motor 3, and a connecting rod 4. The lower surface of the pad 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the water heater body 1. The upper surface of the pad 2 extends upward with two support seats 21 and a connecting seat 22. One support seat 21 is located at one end of the pad 2, and the connecting seat 22 is located at the other end of the pad 2. The other support seat 21 is located between the end support seat 21 and the end connecting seat 22. The motor 3 is installed on the side of the connecting seat 22 away from the support seat 21. The connecting rod 4 is rotatably disposed between the two connecting seats 22.

[0030] The connecting rod 4 includes a flat portion 41 and a drive shaft 43. The flat portion 41 is located at the top of the connecting rod 4, and the support plate 5 is located on the flat portion 41.

[0031] One end of the drive shaft 43 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting rod 4 near the motor 3, and the other end is connected to the output end of the motor 3.

[0032] The circulation piping system includes a flexible hose 9 and a water pump. Several heat collection loops 7 are interconnected by conduits 71. The heat collection loop 7 closest to the center is connected to an inlet pipe section 73, which is connected to the flexible hose 9. The outermost heat collection loop 7 on the support plate 5 is connected to an outlet pipe section 72. Water from the inlet pipe section 73 flows through the flexible hose 9 into the water heater body 1. One side of the water heater body 1 is connected to the water pump through a pipe to discharge water. The other end of the water pump is connected to the outlet pipe section 72 through a pipe to form a loop, thus constituting a circulation. The flexible hose 9 includes, but is not limited to, rubber hoses, corrugated pipes, etc.

[0033] The connecting rod 4 is equipped with an upper pipe connector 42, and the pad 2 is equipped with a lower pipe connector 23 that communicates with the water heater body 1. The upper pipe connector 42 and the lower pipe connector 23 are located at both ends of the hose 9, respectively. The water inlet pipe section 73 is located inside the upper pipe connector 42, and the end of the lower pipe connector 23 away from the hose 9 is connected to the water heater body 1.

[0034] The support plate 5, the heat collection ring pipe 7, the water inlet pipe section 73, the upper pipe joint 42 and the lower pipe joint 23 are all concentrically arranged.

[0035] The bottom wall of the support plate 5 is provided with a reflective layer 51.

[0036] A focusing cover 6 is installed on the support plate 5. The top of the focusing cover 6 is arc-shaped along the circumference, and a water outlet hole 61 is opened on the side wall of the focusing cover 6.

[0037] In one embodiment, how to improve the energy efficiency of an industrial water heater.

[0038] Specifically, after adjusting the pad 2 to be placed vertically in the north-south direction, the position of the water heater body 1 is fixed, the solar concentrator 6 is then installed on the support plate 5, one end of the hose 9 is connected to the lower pipe connector 23, and the other end of the hose 9 is connected to the upper pipe connector 42. After filling the circulation pipeline system with water, the motor 3 is set. The angle and running time of the motor 3 are set according to the trajectory and time of the sun the previous day to ensure that the heat collection ring pipe 7 always faces the sun. When the motor 3 starts, it drives the transmission shaft 43 to rotate, thereby causing the connecting rod 4 to swing between the support base 21, and the support plate 5 also tilts due to the change in angle.

[0039] The outermost concentrator 6 can concentrate the sunlight onto the reflector strip 8, while also serving as a dustproof and heat-insulating element. The sunlight is then reflected onto the heat collection rings 7 on both sides, which insulates the water inside the heat collection rings 7. Since the top of the concentrator 6 is curved, water droplets or dust will flow down along the curved part due to gravity as the support plate 5 swings, without affecting the solar energy collection area of ​​the concentrator 6.

[0040] In summary, this industrial water heater, by incorporating a swing unit, allows for precise angle adjustment of the support plate 5, which houses the heat collection ring pipe 7 and the reflector strip 8. This ensures that the top of the reflector strip 8 always faces the sun. Combined with a scientifically designed concentrator 6, it efficiently gathers and collects sunlight, significantly improving light energy conversion efficiency and maximizing the utilization of solar energy, thus achieving optimal operating conditions. This solves the technical problem of existing heat collection ring pipes being fixed on the support plate, with a fixed orientation that cannot adapt to the sun's movement throughout the day. In practical use, this prevents the heat collection ring pipes from fully utilizing solar energy, limiting the overall energy-saving effect of the water heater and hindering its optimal operating state.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
