Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water purification equipment technology, specifically to a hot water tank assembly and water purification equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most water purifiers and water heaters on the market integrate instant heating or heat preservation functions on top of water purification to meet users' diverse needs for hot and cold drinking water. During operation, purified water is heated to a set temperature by a heating element and then stored in a heating tank for easy access. However, due to slow water flow and insufficient water turnover at the bottom of the heating tank, stagnation zones easily form, providing conditions for microbial growth. Furthermore, when new water flows in, it easily stirs up the scale deposited at the bottom, causing scale and other contaminants to be discharged with the water, directly affecting the final water quality. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a hot water tank assembly and a water purification device to solve the problems of slow water flow at the bottom of the hot water tank, which easily forms a stagnation zone, leading to the growth of microorganisms, and the impact of new water flow on the cleanliness of the water by stirring up the scale deposited at the bottom.
[0004] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a hot tank assembly for a water purification device, including a tank body, wherein the tank body is provided with a fluid input interface and a fluid output interface; The fluid output port is located at the bottom of the tank. The fluid input interface is located on the tank body at a position higher than the fluid output interface.
[0005] Beneficial Effects: By placing the fluid output interface at the bottom of the tank, drainage can be achieved from the very bottom, effectively preventing water stagnation zones within the tank and reducing the risk of microbial growth due to residual water. Simultaneously, positioning the fluid input interface above the fluid output interface on the tank allows newly injected fluid to flow slowly downwards from above when some fluid is already present. Compared to traditional methods where the fluid input interface is located at the bottom, the mixing process between the newly injected fluid and the existing fluid is much smoother, reducing disturbance to the fluid at the bottom of the tank. This minimizes temperature fluctuations caused by fluid mixing, ensuring overall temperature stability within the tank, and also reduces disturbance to any deposits at the bottom, thus guaranteeing the cleanliness of the output fluid. This solution addresses the problems of slow water flow at the bottom of hot tanks, which easily leads to stagnation zones and microbial growth, as well as the impact of new water inflow on water quality by stirring up scale deposits at the bottom.
[0006] In an alternative embodiment, an insulation layer is further included, which covers the outer surface of the tank.
[0007] Beneficial effects: The insulation layer covering the outer surface of the tank can form an efficient heat insulation barrier between the tank and the external environment, greatly reducing the heat exchange between the fluid inside the tank and the outside, reducing the loss of heat inside the tank, and achieving the heat insulation effect of the hot tank component.
[0008] In one alternative implementation, it further includes: A fluid input connector, the output end of which is integrally connected to the fluid input interface, and the input end of which extends through the insulation layer and onto the outside of the insulation layer; A fluid output connector, wherein the input end of the fluid output connector is integrally connected to the fluid output interface, and the output end of the fluid output connector extends through the insulation layer and is positioned on the outside of the insulation layer.
[0009] Beneficial effects: The output end of the fluid inlet connector is integrally connected to the fluid inlet interface, and the input end of the fluid outlet connector is integrally connected to the fluid outlet interface. This integrated structural design minimizes gaps between the connector and the interface, effectively preventing fluid leakage during transmission and ensuring the sealing and reliability of fluid transmission. It also simplifies the assembly process and reduces subsequent maintenance costs. Furthermore, the input end of the fluid inlet connector extends to the outside of the insulation layer, and the output end of the fluid outlet connector extends to the outside of the insulation layer, allowing external inlet or outlet pipelines to directly connect to the input end of the fluid inlet connector and the output end of the fluid outlet connector located outside the insulation layer without damaging the insulation layer or contacting the tank body, making operation more convenient and efficient. Moreover, the fluid inlet and outlet connectors only pass through the insulation layer without additionally damaging its overall structure, minimizing the impact on insulation performance and ensuring the integrity of the thermal barrier formed by the insulation layer, maintaining the stability of the fluid temperature inside the tank and preventing heat loss.
[0010] In one alternative embodiment, the tank body is further provided with an exhaust port, which is located on the tank body at a position higher than the fluid input port.
[0011] Beneficial effects: When fluid is injected into the tank through the fluid inlet, the air inside the tank is compressed as the fluid fills it. At this time, the venting port located at the top can promptly expel the air, preventing the air pressure inside the tank from rising and hindering the smooth injection of fluid, thus improving the injection efficiency. At the same time, it prevents fluid splashing or leakage at the interface due to excessive air pressure, ensuring the safety of the injection process. In addition, during the fluid storage process, if the fluid produces a small amount of gas due to temperature rise, the venting port can also balance the air pressure inside the tank, preventing the tank from being damaged due to abnormal air pressure, further protecting the quality of the fluid inside the tank. Moreover, the position of this port avoids the fluid inlet and outlet channels, so it will not interfere with normal fluid transmission. It not only solves the air pressure problem during the injection and storage process, but also forms a good cooperation with the fluid inlet and outlet ports.
[0012] In one alternative embodiment, an exhaust connector is further included, wherein the input end of the exhaust connector is integrally connected to the exhaust port, and the output end of the exhaust connector extends through the insulation layer and extends to the outside of the insulation layer.
[0013] Beneficial effects: The input end of the exhaust connector is integrated with the exhaust interface, which can minimize the gap between the connector and the interface, effectively preventing leakage during gas discharge or external impurities from entering the tank through the interface. This ensures the sealing and reliability of the exhaust and reduces the cost of sealing maintenance in the later stages. At the same time, the output end of the exhaust connector extends to the outside through the insulation layer, so that the exhaust operation does not need to contact the tank or damage the insulation layer. The external exhaust pipe can be directly connected to the output end of the connector on the outside, making the operation convenient. Furthermore, the exhaust connector only passes through the insulation layer without damaging the overall structure of the insulation layer, which can reduce the impact of the exhaust component on the insulation effect, ensure the continuous integrity of the heat insulation barrier formed by the insulation layer, maintain the stability of the fluid temperature inside the tank, and prevent excessive heat loss through the exhaust channel.
[0014] In one alternative embodiment, the tank includes: Main body; The top cover is integrally connected to the top of the main body. The base is integrally connected to the bottom of the main body; The fluid input interface is located on the upper part of the main body, and the fluid output interface is located on the base.
[0015] Beneficial effects: The integrated connection of the main body, top cover and base eliminates the gaps between the parts, which not only improves the overall structural strength and sealing of the tank and effectively prevents fluid leakage during storage, but also reduces maintenance problems such as loosening and falling off of parts in the later stage, and extends service life; in addition, the separate structure of the main body, top cover and base facilitates the independent manufacturing and processing of each part, improving production efficiency and maintainability.
[0016] In one alternative embodiment, a liquid level monitoring component is further included, the top end of which is fixedly connected to the top of the tank and the bottom end extends into the interior of the tank.
[0017] Beneficial effects: The top of the liquid level monitoring component is fixedly connected to the top of the tank, providing a stable installation base and preventing shaking or displacement of the component during tank use. This ensures accurate monitoring and guarantees the accuracy of the liquid level data, effectively preventing monitoring errors caused by component loosening. The bottom of the liquid level monitoring component extends directly into the tank, allowing direct contact with the fluid inside. This provides real-time and intuitive feedback on the liquid level, avoiding operational errors due to inability to determine the liquid level. Furthermore, since the top of the liquid level monitoring component is fixedly connected to the top of the tank, there is no need for additional openings in the side wall of the tank, preserving the integrity and sealing of the main body and ensuring the structural strength of the tank. It also facilitates future inspection and replacement of the monitoring component, reducing maintenance difficulty.
[0018] In one alternative embodiment, a seal is provided at the connection between the liquid level monitoring component and the tank.
[0019] Beneficial effects: By installing a seal at the connection between the level monitoring component and the tank, any tiny gaps that may exist at the connection can be filled, completely preventing fluid leakage from the tank through the connection. This also prevents external air, dust, and impurities from entering the tank through the gap, avoiding fluid waste and leakage risks while ensuring the purity of the fluid inside the tank. Furthermore, the seal further blocks the heat exchange channels between the tank's interior and the outside, preventing heat loss through the gap and ensuring the insulation effect of the heated tank component, maintaining the fluid temperature within a suitable range. Moreover, the seal also provides auxiliary fixation for the level monitoring component, reducing the probability of loosening during long-term use or under vibration, indirectly improving the stability and accuracy of the level monitoring data.
[0020] In one alternative embodiment, a fastener is further included, the fastener comprising: A fixed section is integrally connected to the tank body; The connecting section is set perpendicular to the fixed section, with one end connected to the fixed section and the other end extending through the insulation layer and onto the outside of the insulation layer.
[0021] Beneficial effects: The fixed section is integrally connected to the tank body, ensuring a stable overall structure and preventing loosening or detachment during use. This provides a reliable connection foundation for subsequent tank installation and effectively improves the stability of the tank after installation. The connecting section is perpendicular to the fixed section, with one end connected to the fixed section and the other end extending through the insulation layer to the outside. This allows the external fixing structure to connect directly to the connecting section located on the outside of the insulation layer without disassembling or damaging the insulation layer, making operation convenient and efficient. At the same time, the connecting section only passes through the insulation layer without further damaging its overall integrity, minimizing the impact of the fixed section on the insulation effect. This ensures the insulation barrier continues to function, maintaining the stability of the fluid temperature inside the tank and preventing excessive heat loss through the gap between the connecting section and the insulation layer.
[0022] Secondly, this utility model also provides a water purification device, including the aforementioned hot tank assembly.
[0023] Beneficial effects: The water purification equipment of this application, including the above-mentioned hot tank assembly, has all the technical effects of the above-mentioned hot tank assembly.

[0031] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0032] The following is combined Figures 1 to 13 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.
[0033] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a hot tank assembly is provided for a water purification device, including a tank body 01, the tank body 01 being provided with a fluid input interface and a fluid output interface; the fluid output interface is located at the bottom of the tank body 01; the fluid input interface is located on the tank body 01 at a position higher than the fluid output interface.
[0034] In the above embodiments, by placing the fluid output interface at the bottom of the tank 01, drainage can be achieved from the lowest point of the tank 01, effectively avoiding water stagnation zones inside the tank and reducing the risk of microbial growth caused by residual water. Simultaneously, by arranging the fluid input interface on the tank 01 above the fluid output interface, when there is already some fluid in the tank 01, the newly injected fluid flows slowly down from above. Compared to the traditional method where the fluid input interface is at the bottom of the tank 01, the mixing process of the newly injected fluid with the existing fluid is more gradual, reducing disturbance to the existing fluid at the bottom of the tank 01. This reduces temperature fluctuations caused by fluid mixing, ensuring the overall temperature stability of the fluid inside the tank 01, and also reduces disturbance to any deposits that may exist at the bottom of the tank, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the output fluid. This solves the problems of slow water flow at the bottom of the hot tank, which easily forms stagnation zones leading to microbial growth, and the problem of new water inflow agitating the scale deposits at the bottom and affecting water cleanliness.
[0035] In one embodiment, it further includes a thermal insulation layer 02, which covers the outer surface of the tank body 01.
[0036] In the above embodiments, the insulation layer 02 covering the outer surface of the tank 01 can form an efficient heat insulation barrier between the tank 01 and the external environment, greatly reducing the heat exchange between the fluid inside the tank and the outside, reducing the loss of heat inside the tank, and achieving the heat insulation effect of the hot tank assembly.
[0037] Specifically, the insulation layer 02 includes an insulation base 021 and an insulation cover 022. The insulation cover 022 is placed on top of the insulation base 021 and together with the insulation base 021 to form an accommodating space. The tank body 01 is installed in the accommodating space.
[0038] Specifically, insulation layer 02 is insulation cotton, and the storage of hot water at different temperatures can be achieved by adjusting the thickness of the insulation cotton.
[0039] Specifically, there is no limitation on the temperature of the hot water stored in tank 01; tank 01 can store water at 50 degrees Celsius or 60 degrees Celsius. It should be noted that in this application, tank 01 stores water at 50 degrees Celsius.
[0040] In one embodiment, the fluid input connector 03 and the fluid output connector 04 are also included; the output end of the fluid input connector 03 is integrally connected to the fluid input interface, and the input end of the fluid input connector 03 extends through the insulation layer 02 and is located on the outside of the insulation layer 02; the input end of the fluid output connector 04 is integrally connected to the fluid output interface, and the output end of the fluid output connector 04 extends through the insulation layer 02 and is located on the outside of the insulation layer 02.
[0041] In the above embodiments, the output end of the fluid inlet connector 03 is integrally connected to the fluid inlet interface, and the input end of the fluid outlet connector 04 is integrally connected to the fluid outlet interface. This integrated structural design minimizes gaps between the connectors and interfaces, effectively preventing fluid leakage during transmission and ensuring the sealing and reliability of fluid transmission. It also simplifies the assembly process and reduces subsequent maintenance costs. Furthermore, the input end of the fluid inlet connector 03 extends to the outside of the insulation layer 02, and the output end of the fluid outlet connector 04 extends to the outside of the insulation layer 02. This allows external inlet or outlet pipes to directly connect to the input end of the fluid inlet connector 03 and the output end of the fluid outlet connector 04 located outside the insulation layer 02, without damaging the insulation layer 02 or contacting the tank body 01, making operation more convenient and efficient. Moreover, the fluid inlet connector 03 and the fluid outlet connector 04 only pass through the insulation layer 02 without additionally damaging its overall structure, reducing the impact on insulation performance and ensuring the integrity of the thermal barrier formed by the insulation layer 02, maintaining the stability of the fluid temperature inside the tank, and preventing heat loss.
[0042] Specifically, the output end of the fluid input connector 03 is integrally connected to the fluid input interface by welding.
[0043] Specifically, the input end of the fluid output connector 04 and the fluid output interface are integrated by welding.
[0044] Specifically, the insulation layer 02 is provided with through openings corresponding to the fluid inlet connector 03 and the fluid outlet connector 04. The fluid inlet connector 03 and the fluid outlet connector 04 extend through the corresponding through openings and are placed on the outside of the insulation layer 02.
[0045] Preferably, the fluid inlet connector 03 is equipped with a double-connector 08. The double-connector 08 serves as an intermediate connector, with one end tightly connected to the inlet end of the fluid inlet connector 03 via a retaining ring 09, and the other end used for quick connection to an external piping system. The standardized interface of the double-connector 08 improves its compatibility with different external pipelines, and the retaining ring 09 enhances the sealing and reliability of the connection.
[0046] Preferably, the fluid output connector 04 is provided with a double-connector 08, which serves as a transfer connector. One end of the double-connector 08 is tightly connected to the output end of the fluid output connector 04 through a retaining ring 09, and the other end is used for quick connection to an external pipeline system.
[0047] In one embodiment, the tank 01 is also provided with an exhaust port, which is located on the tank 01 at a position higher than the fluid input port.
[0048] In the above embodiments, when fluid is injected into the tank through the fluid inlet, the air inside the tank is compressed due to the fluid filling. At this time, the exhaust port located above can promptly expel the air, preventing the air pressure inside the tank from rising and hindering the smooth injection of fluid, thus improving the injection efficiency. At the same time, it prevents fluid splashing or leakage at the interface due to excessive air pressure, ensuring the safety of the injection process. In addition, during the fluid storage process inside the tank, if the fluid generates a small amount of gas due to temperature rise, the exhaust port can also play a role in balancing the air pressure inside the tank, preventing the tank body 01 from being damaged due to abnormal air pressure, further protecting the quality of the fluid inside the tank. Moreover, the position of this port avoids the fluid inlet and outlet channels, so it will not interfere with normal fluid transmission. It not only solves the air pressure problem during the injection and storage process, but also forms a good cooperation with the fluid inlet and outlet ports.
[0049] In one embodiment, it further includes an exhaust connector 05, the input end of which is integrally connected to the exhaust port, and the output end of which extends through the insulation layer 02 and onto the outside of the insulation layer 02.
[0050] In the above embodiments, the input end of the exhaust connector 05 is integrally connected to the exhaust interface, which can eliminate gaps between the connector and the interface to the greatest extent, effectively preventing leakage during gas discharge or external impurities from entering the tank 01 through the interface. This ensures the sealing and reliability of the exhaust and reduces the sealing and maintenance costs during later maintenance. At the same time, the output end of the exhaust connector 05 extends to the outside through the insulation layer 02, so that the exhaust operation does not need to contact the tank 01 or damage the insulation layer 02. The external exhaust pipe can be directly connected to the output end of the connector on the outside, which is convenient. Furthermore, the exhaust connector 05 only passes through the insulation layer 02 and does not damage the overall structure of the insulation layer 02, which can reduce the impact of the exhaust component on the insulation effect, ensure the continuous integrity of the heat insulation barrier formed by the insulation layer 02, maintain the stability of the fluid temperature inside the tank, and prevent excessive heat loss through the exhaust channel.
[0051] Specifically, the input end of the exhaust connector 05 is integrally connected to the exhaust port by welding.
[0052] Preferably, the exhaust connector 05 is provided with a double-connector 08, which serves as a transfer connector. One end of the double-connector 08 is tightly connected to the output end of the exhaust connector 05 through a retaining ring 09, and the other end is used for quick connection to an external pipeline system.
[0053] Specifically, the insulation layer 02 is provided with a through-hole corresponding to the exhaust connector 05, and the exhaust connector 05 extends through the corresponding through-hole and is placed on the outside of the insulation layer 02.
[0054] In one embodiment, the tank 01 includes a main body 011, a top cover 012, and a base 013; the top cover 012 is integrally connected to the top of the main body 011; the base 013 is integrally connected to the bottom of the main body 011; wherein, the fluid input interface is disposed on the upper part of the main body 011, and the fluid output interface is disposed on the base 013.
[0055] In the above embodiments, the integral connection of the main body 011, the top cover 012 and the base 013 can eliminate the splicing gaps between the components, which not only improves the overall structural strength and sealing of the tank 01 and effectively prevents fluid leakage during storage, but also reduces maintenance problems such as loosening and falling off of components in the later stage, and extends the service life; in addition, the separate structure of the main body 011, the top cover 012 and the base 013 facilitates the independent manufacturing and processing of each part, improving production efficiency and maintainability.
[0056] Specifically, the main body 011, the top cover 012, and the base 013 are connected as a whole by welding.
[0057] Specifically, the exhaust port is located on the main body 011 at a position higher than the fluid input port.
[0058] In one embodiment, the liquid level monitoring component 06 is also included. The top end of the liquid level monitoring component 06 is fixedly connected to the top of the tank body 01, and the bottom end extends into the interior of the tank body 01.
[0059] In the above embodiments, the top end of the liquid level monitoring component 06 is fixedly connected to the top of the tank 01, providing a stable installation base for the monitoring component and preventing the liquid level monitoring component 06 from shaking or shifting during the use of the tank 01. This ensures that the monitoring position is always accurate, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy of the liquid level data and effectively preventing monitoring errors caused by component loosening. The bottom end of the liquid level monitoring component 06 extends directly into the interior of the tank 01, allowing direct contact with the fluid inside the tank. This provides real-time and intuitive feedback on the liquid level inside the tank, avoiding operational errors caused by the inability to determine the liquid level. At the same time, since the top end of the liquid level monitoring component 06 is fixedly connected to the top of the tank 01, there is no need to make additional holes in the side wall of the tank 01, which does not damage the integrity and sealing of the main body 011, ensuring the structural strength of the tank 01. It also facilitates the later inspection and replacement of the monitoring component, reducing maintenance difficulty.
[0060] Specifically, the liquid level monitoring component 06 is fixed to the top cover 012 by fasteners such as screws 062.
[0061] Specifically, the insulation layer 02 is provided with a reserved opening 023, and the reserved opening 023 corresponds to the position of the liquid level monitoring component 06, which facilitates the installation and fixation of the liquid level monitoring component 06 on the top cover 012.
[0062] In a specific embodiment, the liquid level monitoring component 06 includes at least a first liquid level probe and a second liquid level probe. Both the first and second liquid level probes extend vertically, with their top ends fixedly connected to the top cover 012 and their bottom ends extending into the tank body 01. The length of the first liquid level probe is shorter than the length of the second liquid level probe, such that the bottom ends of the first and second liquid level probes correspond to different height positions within the tank body 01.
[0063] Specifically, the bottom of the first liquid level probe corresponds to the highest safe liquid level, and the bottom of the second liquid level probe corresponds to the lowest liquid level.
[0064] Specifically, when the liquid level inside tank 01 rises to contact the bottom of the first liquid level probe, the liquid level monitoring component 06 generates and outputs a first liquid level signal. This first liquid level signal can be transmitted to the system's control unit, which then determines that the liquid in the tank has reached its upper capacity limit and immediately issues a command to stop the liquid injection operation, thereby effectively preventing the risk of overflow caused by excessive liquid level.
[0065] Specifically, when the liquid level in tank 01 drops to the point where it no longer contacts the bottom of the second liquid level probe, the liquid level monitoring component 06 generates and outputs a second liquid level signal. After receiving the second liquid level signal, the control unit determines that the liquid in tank 01 is insufficient and needs to be replenished in time. It then automatically starts the liquid replenishment program until the liquid level reaches the height of the first liquid level probe again and triggers a stop signal.
[0066] In one embodiment, a seal 061 is provided at the connection between the liquid level monitoring component 06 and the tank body 01.
[0067] In the above embodiments, by providing a seal 061 at the connection between the liquid level monitoring component 06 and the tank 01, the small gaps that may exist at the connection between the liquid level monitoring component 06 and the tank 01 can be filled, completely preventing the fluid inside the tank from leaking out through the connection. At the same time, it prevents external air, dust, impurities, etc. from entering the tank 01 through the gap, thus avoiding fluid waste and leakage risks, and ensuring the purity of the fluid inside the tank. Furthermore, the seal 061 can further block the heat exchange channel between the inside of the tank 01 and the outside, preventing heat loss through the gap due to the connection gap, ensuring the heat preservation effect of the hot tank component, and ensuring that the temperature of the fluid inside the tank is maintained within a suitable range. Moreover, the seal 061 can also play an auxiliary role in fixing the liquid level monitoring component 06, reducing the probability of loosening of the liquid level monitoring component 06 under long-term use or vibration environment, and indirectly improving the stability and accuracy of the liquid level monitoring data.
[0068] Specifically, seal 061 is a rubber gasket.
[0069] In one embodiment, a fastener 07 is also included, which includes a fixing section 071 and a connecting section 072. The fixing section 071 is integrally connected to the tank body 01. The connecting section 072 is arranged perpendicular to the fixing section 071, with one end connected to the fixing section 071 and the other end extending through the insulation layer 02 and onto the outside of the insulation layer 02.
[0070] In the above embodiments, the fixing section 071 is integrally connected to the tank body 01, ensuring that the fixing component 07 and the tank body 01 form a stable overall structure, preventing the fixing component 07 from loosening or falling off during use, providing a reliable connection foundation for the subsequent installation and fixing of the tank body 01, and effectively improving the stability of the tank body 01 after installation; the connecting section 072 is set perpendicular to the fixing section 071, with one end connected to the fixing section 071 and the other end extending to the outside through the insulation layer 02, allowing the external fixing structure to be directly connected to the connecting section 072 located on the outside of the insulation layer 02 without disassembling or damaging the insulation layer 02, making the operation convenient and efficient; at the same time, the connecting section 072 only passes through the insulation layer 02 and does not additionally damage the overall integrity of the insulation layer 02, which can minimize the impact of the fixing component 07 on the insulation effect, ensure that the heat insulation barrier formed by the insulation layer 02 continues to play its role, maintain the stability of the fluid temperature inside the tank, and prevent excessive heat loss through the gap between the connecting section 072 and the insulation layer 02.
[0071] Specifically, the fixed section 071 and the tank body 01 are integrally connected by welding.
