Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water heating equipment, and in particular to a high-efficiency heating water tank. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, heated water tanks are indispensable key equipment, widely used in numerous industries such as chemical reactions, food processing, pharmaceutical processes, and textile printing and dyeing. In chemical production, many chemical reactions require hot water at specific temperatures; the stability and timeliness of the hot water temperature directly affect reaction efficiency and product quality. In food processing, whether it's raw material cleaning, sterilization, or cleaning production line equipment, a stable and sufficient supply of hot water is essential. The pharmaceutical industry has extremely high requirements for the precision of hot water temperature; even slight deviations can lead to substandard drug quality. The textile printing and dyeing industry requires large quantities of hot water at different temperatures for dyeing, rinsing, and other processes; the efficiency of the hot water supply directly affects production progress.

[0003] However, existing heated water tanks have the following shortcomings in practical use: Most industrial heated water tanks on the market currently adopt the traditional centralized heating method with a water storage chamber. In this heating mode, the water in the storage chamber needs to be heated to the set temperature before hot water can be dispensed. To ensure continuous production, companies often add multiple heating devices to be used alternately, which increases the company's equipment investment costs and subsequent maintenance costs. In view of this, the high-efficiency heated water tank proposed in this application is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a high-efficiency heating water tank that can continuously produce hot water to ensure continuous production on the production line and reduce equipment investment costs and subsequent maintenance costs.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A high-efficiency heated water tank, comprising:

[0007] box rack;

[0008] A heating assembly includes an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe, several heating rods, several heating tubes, and several connecting pipes. Each heating tube is mounted on a frame and spaced apart. Each heating rod is correspondingly mounted on a heating tube. Each connecting pipe is alternately connected end-to-end to each heating tube to form a continuously curved pipe. The inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are connected at both ends to the two ends of the pipe.

[0009] The control component includes a controller and several actuators, each actuator being mounted on a frame. The controller is mounted on the frame and electrically connected to each actuator. Each actuator is electrically connected to each heating rod in a corresponding manner.

[0010] Optionally, the frame includes a frame body, a front side panel, and a rear side panel, both of which are mounted on the frame body, and both ends of each heating tube are connected to the front side panel and the rear side panel, respectively.

[0011] Optionally, the front side plate is provided with a plurality of mounting holes, and the rear side plate is provided with a plurality of support holes. Each mounting hole corresponds to each support hole. One end of the heating tube is disposed in the mounting hole, and the other end of the heating tube passes through the support hole.

[0012] Optionally, the heating tube is further provided with a circular hole, and the heating end of the heating rod extends into the heating tube through the circular hole.

[0013] Optionally, the actuator includes a temperature sensor, the heating tube has a perforation, the temperature sensor is disposed on the heating tube and is electrically connected to the controller, and the sensing end of the temperature sensor extends into the heating tube through the perforation.

[0014] Optionally, the actuator further includes a switch, which is disposed on the frame and electrically connected to the heating rod and the controller respectively.

[0026] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of this utility model.

[0027] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0028] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, a high-efficiency heated water tank 1 includes a tank body 10, a heating component, and a control component. The heating component includes an inlet pipe 20, an outlet pipe 21, a plurality of heating rods 22, a plurality of heating tubes 23, and a plurality of connecting pipes 24. Each heating tube 23 is mounted on a frame and is spaced apart. Each heating rod 22 is correspondingly mounted on each heating tube 23. Each connecting pipe 24 is alternately connected to each heating tube 23 to form a continuously curved pipe. The two ends of the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 21 are respectively connected to the two ends of the pipe. The control component includes a controller 30 and a plurality of actuators 31. Each actuator 31 is mounted on a frame. The controller 30 is mounted on a frame and is electrically connected to each actuator 31. Each actuator 31 is electrically connected to each heating rod 22.

[0031] It should be noted that both the heating tubes 23 and the connecting pipes 24 are tubular structures. One end of each heating tube 23 is located on one side of the frame, while the other end of each heating tube 23 passes through the opposite side of the frame, so that both sides of the frame support each heating tube 23. Furthermore, the heating tubes 23 are equidistantly distributed on the frame, so that each heating tube 23 presents a multi-layered structure whether viewed from the front or from above. Further, each connecting pipe 24 is alternately connected to each heating tube 23 end-to-end to form a continuously curved pipe. For ease of description, each heating tube 23 is defined as the first heating tube, the second heating tube, the third heating tube, and the fourth heating tube, respectively, and each connecting pipe 24 is defined as the first connecting pipe, the second connecting pipe, the third connecting pipe, and the fourth connecting pipe, respectively. Specifically, the two ends of the first heating tube are connected to the inlet pipe 20 and the first connecting pipe, respectively; the two ends of the second heating tube are connected to the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe, respectively; the two ends of the third heating tube are connected to the second connecting pipe and the fourth connecting pipe, respectively; and the two ends of the fourth heating tube are connected to the fourth connecting pipe and the outlet pipe 21, respectively. This forms a continuous, curved pipe with both ends connected to the inlet pipe 20 and the outlet pipe 21. Furthermore, the end of the inlet pipe 20 furthest from the first heating tube is connected to a water source, allowing water to flow from the inlet pipe 20 into the continuous curved pipe and out through the outlet pipe 21. It should be noted that the connecting pipe 24 is located on the outer wall of the heating tube 23 near its end, and is connected to the heating tube 23 perpendicular to its axis.

[0032] It should be noted that, for example, the heating rod 22 adopts a structure commonly known in the market as a "fast heating element". The heating ends of each heating rod 22 are coaxially and correspondingly arranged within each heating tube 23, so that the heating rods 22 are equidistantly distributed within the continuously curved pipe. The connecting ends of each heating rod 22 extend relative to each heating tube 23 and are electrically connected to each actuator 31. Furthermore, each actuator 31 is electrically connected to the controller 30. Thus, when water flows into the continuously curved pipe, the controller 30 can control each heating rod 22 to heat the water in the pipe in segments simultaneously through each actuator 31. This ensures that when water flows in from the inlet pipe 20 and out from the outlet pipe 21, the water flows through each heating rod 22 within the pipe. The heating ends of the heating rods 22 are coaxially located within the heating tube 23 and extend from one end of the heating tube 23 to the other. Because the heating tubes 23 and the connecting pipes 24 are connected end-to-end in an alternating manner, water entering a heating tube 23 must flow from one end to the other. This means the water must also flow from one end of the heating element to the other before entering the next heating tube 23. This increases the contact time between the water and the heating element, thus raising the water temperature. This cycle repeats, with the water being reheated at its original temperature each time it passes through a heating element 22. This means that the water temperature gradually increases as it flows in through the inlet pipe 20 until it exits through the outlet pipe 21. This allows the high-efficiency heating water tank 1 of this application to continuously discharge hot water, ensuring continuous production on the production line, improving production efficiency, and reducing equipment investment and subsequent maintenance costs.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the frame includes a frame body 11, a front side plate 12 and a rear side plate 13. The front side plate 12 and the rear side plate 13 are both disposed on the frame body 11, and the two ends of each heating pipe 23 are respectively connected to the front side plate 12 and the rear side plate 13.

[0034] It should be noted that the front side plate 12 and the rear side plate 13 are respectively located on opposite sides of the frame 11. The end of each heating tube 23 is located on the front side plate 12, while the other end of each heating tube 23 passes through the rear side plate 13. In this way, the front side plate 12 and the rear side plate 13 jointly support each heating tube 23, and the heating tubes 23 are kept at intervals.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the front side plate 12 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 120, and the rear side plate 13 is provided with a plurality of support holes 130. Each mounting hole 120 corresponds to each support hole 130. One end of the heating tube 23 is disposed on the mounting hole 120, and the other end of the heating tube 23 passes through the support hole 130.

[0036] It should be noted that the front side plate 12 has several mounting holes 120, which are evenly distributed in an array. The rear side plate 13 has several support holes 130, which are also evenly distributed in an array. When both the front side plate 12 and the rear side plate 13 are mounted on the frame 11, the mounting holes 120 and the support holes 130 are aligned one-to-one. Furthermore, one end of each heating tube 23 is disposed in each mounting hole 120, and each heating tube 23 extends from the side of the front side plate 12 away from the rear side plate 13, while the other end of each heating tube 23 passes through each support hole 130. Thus, the mounting holes 120 and the support holes 130 jointly support both ends of the heating tube 23. Furthermore, since each heating tube 23 is a tubular structure, it has a tubular chamber inside, which communicates with the external environment through the end of the heating tube 23 closest to the front side plate 12. Each heating rod 22 is respectively disposed on the end of each heating tube 23 that extends out relative to the front side plate 12, and the heating end of each heating rod 22 extends coaxially into the tubular cavity inside each heating tube 23.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the actuator 31 includes a temperature sensor 310. The heating tube 23 has a through hole. The temperature sensor 310 is disposed on the heating tube 23 and is electrically connected to the controller 30. The sensing end of the temperature sensor 310 extends into the heating tube 23 through the through hole.

[0038] It should be noted that a perforation is provided on the end face of the heating tube 23 near the rear side plate 13, and the perforation communicates with the tubular chamber. For example, the temperature sensor 310 is similar to an electronic thermal probe structure. Each temperature sensor 310 is respectively located on the end of each heating tube 23 away from the heating rod 22, and the sensing end of each temperature sensor 310 extends into each tubular chamber through the perforation, while the other end of each temperature sensor 310 is electrically connected to the controller 30. In this way, the controller 30 can monitor the water temperature in each heating tube 23 in real time. According to the set required temperature, the controller 30 controls the on / off relationship between each heating rod 22 and the power supply through each actuator 31, so as to increase or decrease the number of heating rods 22 in operation according to the actual water temperature. This controls the temperature of the water flowing out of the outlet pipe 21, thereby meeting the water temperature requirements of production.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the actuator 31 further includes a switch 311, which is disposed on the frame and electrically connected to the heating rod 22 and the controller 30 respectively.

[0040] It should be noted that the switch 311 is a relay structure. Each heating rod 22 is electrically connected to its corresponding switch 311, and the controller 30 is electrically connected to each switch 311. For example, the controller 30 is a PLC. In this way, the controller 30 can control each heating rod 22 to heat or stop heating through each switch 311.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the inner diameter of the through pipe 24 is smaller than the inner diameter of the heating pipe 23.

[0042] It should be noted that the inner diameter of each connecting pipe 24 is smaller than the inner diameter of each heating pipe 23. This slows down the water flow rate as it flows from the heating pipe 23 to the connecting pipe 24, thereby increasing the contact time between the water and the heating rod 22. In this way, the heating efficiency is increased while ensuring water flow.

[0043] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
