Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic application technology, and in particular to an energy-saving dual-mode water heater. Background Technology
[0002] Ordinary mains heating uses 220V mains voltage to heat the heating element, but mains heating alone consumes a lot of energy. Photovoltaic heating uses photovoltaic panels to convert solar energy into electricity to generate electricity. Using photovoltaic voltage for heating is more energy-efficient than providing hot water. Therefore, this application aims to realize the switching between photovoltaic heating and mains heating modes. When the photovoltaic voltage reaches a certain value, it automatically switches to photovoltaic heating and does not use mains heating. When the photovoltaic voltage falls below a certain value, it switches back to mains heating, saving energy while ensuring a continuous supply of hot water. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an energy-saving dual-mode water heater that can prevent the high energy consumption of single mains power heating, and ensure a continuous supply of hot water while saving energy, thus overcoming the shortcomings of the existing technology.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: An energy-saving dual-mode water heater includes a 220V AC mains voltage heating wire circuit, a photovoltaic voltage heating circuit, and a dual-mode conversion circuit. The 220V AC mains voltage heating wire circuit consists of resistors R5 and R6, a transistor Q1, a diode D6, a relay RLY1, and a coil. Diode D5 and the coil are connected to the positive terminal of the power supply. The other end of diode D6 and the coil are connected to the collector of transistor Q1. Relay RLY1 is connected to both the input and output. The base of transistor Q1 is connected to resistors R5 and R6. The emitter of transistor Q1 and the other end of resistor R6 are grounded. The photovoltaic voltage heating circuit consists of a main control chip CN2, a MOSFET Q2, and resistors R10 and R11. The second pin of the main control chip CN2 is connected to the positive terminal of a 60V power supply, and the first pin of the main control chip CN2 is connected to the drain of the MOSFET Q2. The gate of the MOSFET Q2 is connected to resistors R10 and R11, and the source of the MOSFET Q2 and the other end of resistor R11 are grounded. The photovoltaic voltage heating circuit converts solar energy into electrical energy through a photovoltaic panel to generate electricity and directly heat the device. The dual-mode conversion circuit consists of diode D7, resistors R7, R8 and R9, and electrolytic capacitor EC3. The photovoltaic panel output voltage interface is connected to the positive terminal of a 60V power supply. Diode D7 is also connected to the positive terminal of the 60V power supply. The other end of diode D7 is connected to electrolytic capacitor EC3, resistors R8 and R9 via two resistors R7. The other end of electrolytic capacitor EC3 and resistor R9 is grounded. The other end of resistor R8 is connected to the detection port TC1. The microcontroller MCU is used to detect the current photovoltaic voltage value. When the photovoltaic voltage is greater than or equal to U1, a photovoltaic heating command is output. When the photovoltaic voltage is lower than U1, the circuit switches back to mains heating, thus realizing the conversion between photovoltaic heating and mains heating modes.
[0005] The transistor Q1 is an 8050 NPN transistor; the MOSFET Q2 is a 40N15 N-channel MOSFET; and the diodes D7 and D6 are 1N4007 rectifier diodes.
