Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and in particular to a small molecule water generator and a water heater. Background Technology

[0002] With increasingly abundant material supplies and rapidly developing technology, consumers have developed significant and pressing demands for healthy water quality and usage. This demand manifests in several ways: public tap water, due to its long-term storage in community water towers and other secondary water supply systems, can irritate sensitive skin or cause dryness and itching due to seasonal skin dehydration. To address these issues, water magnetization devices have emerged on the market. These devices incorporate magnets into water heaters to magnetize and filter the water flow. The resulting small-molecule water has good permeability and is easily absorbed, offering a good moisturizing effect on the skin. However, existing water magnetization devices are not very efficient at producing small-molecule water at higher water temperatures, making it difficult to meet the demand.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a small molecule water generator to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0036] The following embodiments illustrate the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Modifications to the specific implementation of the present invention or equivalent substitutions for some technical features, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, should all be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by the present invention.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1-7This utility model provides a small molecule water generating device, including a thermostatic valve 4 and a small molecule water generating component 3. The thermostatic valve 4 includes a valve body 41 and a valve core structure 42. The valve core structure 42 includes a valve core body 421 and an adjustment drive structure 422 that is pulsatorically connected to the valve core body 421. The valve body 41 includes a valve shell 411, and a valve cavity 410 is formed inside the valve shell 411. The valve shell 411 also has a cold water inlet hole 401, a hot water inlet hole 402, and a water outlet channel 403 that communicate with the valve cavity 410. The valve core body 421 is disposed inside the valve cavity 410. The adjustment drive structure 422 can drive the valve core body 421 to slide within the valve cavity 410 along the radial direction of the valve shell 411 to open the hot water inlet hole 402 to different opening degrees. The small molecule water generating component 3 includes a housing 31 and permanent magnets 32 mounted on the housing 31. A water flow channel is provided in the middle of the housing 31. At least two permanent magnets 32 are provided and spaced apart around the water flow channel. One end of the housing 31 is connected to a water outlet 403, which is connected to the water inlet of the water flow channel. The other end of the housing 31 has a water outlet 3125, which is connected to the water outlet of the water flow channel. Specifically, by adjusting the opening of the hot water inlet 402, the water temperature entering the valve chamber 410 is adjusted, ensuring that the temperature of the water after mixing hot and cold water in the valve chamber 410 is at a suitable value (generally below 45°C). This allows the water to enter the small molecule water generating component 3 and generate small molecule water. A suitable water temperature is more conducive to the generation of small molecule water, thereby increasing the amount of small molecule water generated and solving the problem of insufficient small molecule water generation due to excessively high water temperature in the prior art.

[0038] The small molecule water generator provided by this utility model adjusts the water temperature before it enters the small molecule generating component to a suitable temperature, thereby facilitating the generation of more small molecule water.

[0039] Optionally, the valve core body 421 is a temperature-sensing valve core. When the water temperature in the valve chamber 410 gradually rises, the temperature-sensing valve core gradually expands to gradually close the hot water inlet hole 402; when the water temperature in the valve chamber 410 gradually decreases, the temperature-sensing valve core gradually contracts to gradually open the hot water inlet hole 402. Specifically, the initial temperature is first adjusted by regulating the drive structure 422. As the water heater heats up, the temperature of the hot water entering through the hot water inlet hole 402 gradually increases. At this time, the opening degree of the hot water inlet hole 402 is adjusted at any time by utilizing the physical properties of thermal expansion and contraction of the temperature-sensing valve core itself, so as to better adapt to the changing water temperature.

[0040] Optionally, the temperature-sensing valve core includes a temperature-sensing bulb 4211 and a spring 4212. The spring 4212 is connected to the temperature-sensing bulb 4211. One end of the spring 4212 is connected to or abuts against one end of the valve cavity 410 with an outlet channel 403, and the other end is connected to or abuts against the temperature-sensing bulb 4211. The temperature-sensing bulb 4211 is connected to the regulating drive structure 422. When the temperature-sensing bulb 4211 expands or contracts due to heat or cold, the spring 4212 can push the temperature-sensing bulb 4211 to move at the hot water inlet hole 402 to adjust the opening degree of the hot water inlet hole 402.

[0041] Optionally, it also includes a partition 33. The outer shell 31 includes a first shell 311 and a second shell 312 that are detachably connected to each other. The partition 33 is disposed between the first shell 311 and the second shell 312. The first shell 311 includes a first shell body 3111 and a first flow channel 3112 disposed within the first shell body 3111. The first flow channel 3112 is spirally arranged from the inside to the outside. The second shell 312 includes a second shell body 3121 and a second flow channel 3122 disposed within the second shell body 3121. The second flow channel 3122 is spirally arranged from the inside to the outside. A through hole 330 is provided on the periphery of the partition 33. The first flow channel 3112 and the second flow channel 3122 are connected through the through hole 330 to form a water flow channel. A water outlet 3125 is disposed on the second shell body 3121. When water flows through the first flow channel 3112, it first passes through the magnetic field formed by the permanent magnet 32, generating small-molecule water. When water flows through the second flow channel 3122, it passes through the magnetic field formed by the permanent magnet 32 ​​a second time, generating small-molecule water again, thereby increasing the amount of small-molecule water generated. Furthermore, by spirally arranging both the first and second flow channels 3112 and 3122, their lengths can be increased, thereby increasing the flow length of water within the channels and further increasing the amount of small-molecule water generated. By configuring the outer shell 31 as a separate first shell 311 and second shell 312, the first flow channel 3112 can be located within the first shell body 3111, and the second flow channel 3122 can be located within the second shell body 3121. The partition 33 serves two purposes: firstly, it divides the water flow into the first flow channel 3112 and the second flow channel 3122, allowing the water to flow out sequentially through the first flow channel 3112 and the second flow channel 3122; secondly, it also acts as a seal between the first housing 311 and the second housing 312, preventing the water from flowing out through the gap between the first housing 311 and the second housing 312.

[0042] Optionally, the first housing 311 further includes a first mounting hole 3113 formed around the periphery of the first housing body 3111, and the second housing 312 further includes a second mounting hole 3123 formed around the periphery of the second housing body 3121. At least two of each of the first mounting hole 3113 and the second mounting hole 3123 are provided, and they are connected one-to-one to form at least two mounting channels. Each mounting channel corresponds to a permanent magnet 32, and the permanent magnet 32 ​​is installed in one of the mounting channels. On one hand, by providing the first mounting hole 3113 on the first housing body 3111 and the second mounting hole 3123 on the second housing body 3121, the permanent magnet 32 ​​can be installed. On the other hand, by having one end of the permanent magnet 32 ​​installed on the first housing body 3111 and the other end installed on the second housing body 3121, the connection strength between the first housing 311 and the second housing 312 can be strengthened.

[0043] Optionally, four permanent magnets 32 are provided, and the four permanent magnets 32 are distributed at intervals on the periphery of the housing 31.

[0044] Optionally, the first housing 311 further includes a third mounting hole 3114 formed around the first housing body 3111, and the second housing 312 further includes a fourth mounting hole 3124 formed around the second housing body 3121. The third mounting hole 3114 and the fourth mounting hole 3124 are connected by screws 34 to achieve a detachable connection between the first housing 311 and the second housing 312.

[0045] Optionally, the first housing 311 and the valve housing 411 are integrally formed to ensure a sealing effect at the connection between the two.

[0046] Optionally, the adjustment drive structure 422 includes a drive member 4221, a transmission gear set 4223, and a slider 4222. The valve housing 411 is also provided with an installation opening 414. The output end of the drive member 4221 is connected to the transmission gear set 4223. The slider 4222 is disposed in the valve cavity 410 and connected to the valve core body 421. The output end of the transmission gear set 4223 extends into the valve cavity 410 through the installation opening 414 and is connected to the slider 4222. The drive member 4221 can drive the slider 4222 to slide along the valve housing 411 in the valve cavity 410 through the transmission gear set 4223, so as to push the valve core body 421 to slide radially along the valve housing 411 in the valve cavity 410.

[0047] Optionally, the system also includes a first temperature sensor 51 and a second temperature sensor 52. The first temperature sensor 51 is located at or upstream of the cold water inlet 401 to detect the temperature of the cold water entering the valve chamber 410. The second temperature sensor 52 is located at the outlet 3125 to detect the water temperature at the outlet 3125. Specifically, the adjustment drive structure 422 sets the opening of the hot water inlet 402 according to the cold water temperature and a preset hot water temperature. Then, based on the water temperature feedback at the outlet 3125, it determines whether the temperature adjustment of the adjustment drive structure 422 is correct, so as to further adjust the adjustment of the opening of the hot water inlet 402 by the adjustment drive structure 422.

[0048] Optionally, the valve body 41 also includes a cold water connector 412 and a hot water connector 413 disposed on the valve core body 421, with a cold water inlet 401 opened in the cold water connector 412 and a hot water inlet 402 opened in the hot water connector 413.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1-8 In another aspect, this utility model provides a water heater, including a water heater body 2, a control unit 7, and the aforementioned small molecule water generating device.

[0053] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model.
