Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment technology, and in particular to a heat exchange device and a water supply equipment. Background Technology
[0002] A heat exchanger is a key component in a water dispenser. Its basic function is to transfer heat between the heat exchange medium (such as gas or liquid) and the water to heat or cool the water. In existing technologies, due to the poor insulation properties of the materials used to manufacture heat exchangers, heat inside the heat exchanger is dissipated into the surrounding environment, resulting in energy waste. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model provides a heat exchange device and a water supply equipment, aiming to solve the technical problem of easy heat dissipation in the heat exchange device.
[0004] According to a first aspect of the present invention, one embodiment provides a heat exchange device, comprising: A heat exchange component, the heat exchange component including a heat exchange body and a plurality of joints protruding from the heat exchange body; and The insulation structure has an insulation cavity and a plurality of first clearance holes communicating with the insulation cavity. The heat exchange body is housed in the insulation cavity, and the connector is inserted into the first clearance holes. The end of the connector away from the heat exchange body is housed within the first clearance hole.
[0005] In one embodiment, the end of the connector away from the heat exchange body is flush with or recessed within the first clearance hole; And / or, the connectors correspond one-to-one with the first clearance holes, or at least two connectors correspond to one first clearance hole.
[0006] In one embodiment, the diameter of the first clearance hole is larger than the outer diameter of the connector, and a first space for inserting a connecting pipe is formed between the inner wall of the first clearance hole and the connector.
[0007] In one embodiment, the heat exchange component further includes an exhaust pipe connected to the heat exchange body; The insulation structure is also provided with a second clearance hole, which is connected to the insulation cavity. The exhaust pipe extends into the second clearance hole and is accommodated within the second clearance hole.
[0008] In one embodiment, the end of the exhaust pipe away from the heat exchange body is flush with or recessed within the second clearance hole; And / or, the diameter of the second clearance hole is larger than the outer diameter of the exhaust pipe, and a second space for inserting an external connecting pipe is formed between the inner wall of the second clearance hole and the exhaust pipe.
[0009] In one embodiment, the insulation structure includes a first insulation shell and a second insulation shell; The first insulation shell and the second insulation shell together form the insulation cavity, and the first insulation shell and / or the second insulation shell are provided with the first clearance hole.
[0010] In one embodiment, the first clearance hole is formed in the first insulation shell, and the side of the first insulation shell away from the insulation cavity is flush with it.
[0011] In one embodiment, the first insulation shell is detachably connected to the second insulation shell.
[0012] In one embodiment, the first insulation shell and the second insulation shell are respectively snapped together with the heat exchange body; Alternatively, the first insulation shell and the second insulation shell can be snapped together.
[0013] According to a second aspect of the present invention, one embodiment provides a water supply device including the heat exchange device described in the first aspect.
[0014] The heat exchange device and water supply equipment provided by this utility model, through the setting of heat exchange components, allow the heat exchange medium and water to exchange heat within the heat exchange components, thereby achieving heating or cooling of the water. By setting an insulation structure with an insulation cavity and a first clearance hole, the heat exchange main body is housed within the insulation cavity, and the connector is inserted into the first clearance hole. The insulation structure can insulate both the heat exchange main body and the connector, thus reducing heat loss to the surrounding environment and minimizing energy waste. Furthermore, since the connector protrudes from the heat exchange main body, it is more susceptible to impact during handling or transfer. By setting the end of the connector furthest from the heat exchange main body to be housed within the first clearance hole, the insulation structure acts as a buffer when the connector is bumped, reducing the probability of damage.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the heat exchange device 100 provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a heat exchange component 10 and a heat insulation structure 20. The heat exchange component 10 includes a heat exchange body 11 and a plurality of joints 12 protruding from the heat exchange body 11. The heat insulation structure 20 is provided with a heat insulation cavity 21 and a plurality of first clearance holes 22 communicating with the heat insulation cavity 21. The heat exchange body 11 is housed in the heat insulation cavity 21, and the joints 12 are inserted into the first clearance holes 22.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up the heat exchange component 10, the heat exchange medium and the water can exchange heat within the heat exchange component 10, thereby achieving heating or cooling of the water. By setting up an insulation structure 20 with an insulation cavity 21 and a first clearance hole 22, the heat exchange body 11 is housed within the insulation cavity 21, and the connector 12 is inserted into the first clearance hole 22. The insulation structure 20 can insulate the heat exchange body 11 and the connector 12, that is, the insulation structure 20 can insulate the heat exchange component 10, thereby reducing heat loss to the surrounding environment and reducing energy waste. Furthermore, when the heat exchange device 100 is not installed in the water supply equipment, the insulation structure 20 also protects the heat exchange component 10, reducing damage to the heat exchange component 10 in the event of an impact.
[0025] In one embodiment, the end of the connector 12 furthest from the heat exchange body 11 is housed within the first clearance hole 22. That is, the connector 12 does not protrude from the insulation structure 20. Since the connector 12 protrudes from the heat exchange body 11, it is more prone to collisions during handling or transfer. By ensuring that the connector 12 does not protrude from the insulation structure 20, the insulation structure 20 acts as a buffer when the connector 12 is bumped, reducing the likelihood of the connector 12 being damaged.
[0026] In one embodiment, the thermal insulation structure 20 can be made of thermal insulation cotton. Of course, in other embodiments, the thermal insulation structure 20 can also be made of other materials.
[0027] In one embodiment, the end of the connector 12 furthest from the heat exchanger body 11 is flush with or recessed within the first clearance hole 22. This allows the end of the connector 12 furthest from the heat exchanger body 11 to be accommodated within the first clearance hole 22. In this embodiment, the end of the connector 12 furthest from the heat exchanger body 11 is flush with the first clearance hole 22. It is understood that in other embodiments, the end of the connector 12 furthest from the heat exchanger body 11 may also be recessed within the first clearance hole 22.
[0028] In one embodiment, the connector 12 corresponds one-to-one with the first clearance hole 22, or at least two connectors 12 correspond to one first clearance hole 22. In this embodiment, the connector 12 corresponds one-to-one with the first clearance hole 22, that is, one connector 12 is accommodated in one first clearance hole 22, thus providing better protection for the connector 12. Of course, in other embodiments, at least two connectors 12 can also be provided to correspond to one first clearance hole 22, that is, at least two connectors 12 are accommodated in one first clearance hole 22.
[0029] In one embodiment, the diameter of the first clearance hole 22 is larger than the outer diameter of the connector 12; a first space for inserting a connecting pipe is formed between the inner wall of the first clearance hole 22 and the connector 12. Thus, the external connecting pipe for connection with the connector 12 can be easily inserted into the first clearance hole 22 and fitted onto the outer periphery of the connector 12, facilitating the assembly of the connector 12 and the external connecting pipe. Of course, as an alternative implementation, the diameter of the first clearance hole 22 can also be equal to the outer diameter of the connector 12. In this case, the connector 12 can be assembled with the external connecting pipe by fitting it onto the external connecting pipe.
[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The connector 12 has at least four parts, one of which has a different aperture than the others. This serves as a foolproof method to ensure that the heat exchanger 100 can be quickly and accurately assembled into the water supply equipment. In specific applications, the aperture of this connector 12 can be larger or smaller than that of the others, and correspondingly, the aperture of the first clearance hole 22 corresponding to this connector 12 will also be increased or decreased.
[0031] In this embodiment, four connectors 12 are provided, with the aperture of one connector 12 being larger than that of the other connectors 12. Specifically, the four connectors 12 are a medium inlet connector, a medium outlet connector, a water inlet connector, and a water outlet connector, with the aperture of the medium inlet connector being larger than that of the other three connectors 12. Setting the aperture of the medium inlet connector to be larger reduces the resistance of the heat exchange medium within the medium inlet connector, which is beneficial for the uniform distribution of the heat exchange medium into each heat exchange medium flow channel of the heat exchange body 11. Of course, in other embodiments, the aperture of any one of the medium outlet connectors, water inlet connectors, and water outlet connectors can also be set to be larger than that of the other three connectors 12.
[0032] Please see Figure 4 The heat exchange component 10 also includes an exhaust pipe 13, which is connected to the heat exchange body 11. In specific applications, the exhaust pipe 13 connects to the water flow channel of the heat exchange body 11. The exhaust pipe 13 is provided to ensure pressure balance inside and outside the water flow channel.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The insulation structure 20 is also provided with a second clearance hole 23, which connects to the insulation cavity 21. The exhaust pipe 13 extends into the second clearance hole 23 and is accommodated within it. In other words, the exhaust pipe 13 does not protrude from the insulation structure 20. Normally, the exhaust pipe 13 protrudes from the heat exchange body 11, and is easily bumped during the handling or transfer of the heat exchange device 100. By ensuring that the drain pipe does not protrude from the insulation structure 20, the insulation structure 20 acts as a buffer for the drain pipe when it is bumped, reducing the chance of the drain pipe being damaged.
[0034] In one embodiment, the end of the exhaust pipe 13 furthest from the heat exchanger body 11 is flush with or recessed within the second clearance hole 23. This allows the end of the exhaust pipe 13 furthest from the heat exchanger body 11 to be accommodated within the second clearance hole 23. In this embodiment, the end of the exhaust pipe 13 furthest from the heat exchanger body 11 is flush with the second clearance hole 23. It is understood that in other embodiments, the end of the exhaust pipe 13 furthest from the heat exchanger body 11 may also be recessed within the second clearance hole 23.
[0035] In one embodiment, the diameter of the second clearance hole 23 is larger than the diameter of the exhaust pipe 13, and a second space for inserting an external connecting pipe is formed between the inner wall of the second clearance hole 23 and the exhaust pipe 13. In this way, the external connecting pipe for connecting to the exhaust pipe 13 can be easily connected to the exhaust pipe 13, which is beneficial to the assembly of the exhaust pipe 13 and the external connecting pipe.
[0036] Please see Figures 2 to 5The insulation structure 20 includes a first insulation shell 24 and a second insulation shell 25. The first insulation shell 24 and the second insulation shell 25 enclose an insulation cavity 21. The first insulation shell 24 and / or the second insulation shell 25 are provided with a first clearance hole 22. In specific applications, the location of the first clearance hole 22 can be determined according to the position of the connector 12, i.e., the location of the first insulation shell 24 and / or the second insulation shell 25. In this embodiment, all connectors 12 are located on the same side of the heat exchange body 11, and all connectors 12 are correspondingly provided with the first insulation shell 24, and the first clearance hole 22 is opened in the first insulation shell 24. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the first clearance hole 22 can also be opened in the second insulation shell 25. For example, all connectors 12 are correspondingly set to the second insulation shell 25, and the first clearance hole 22 is opened in the second insulation shell 25; or, some connectors 12 are correspondingly set to the first insulation shell 24, and other connectors 12 are correspondingly set to the second insulation shell 25, then some first clearance holes 22 are opened in the first insulation shell 24, and other first clearance holes 22 are opened in the second insulation shell 25.
[0037] In this embodiment, the insulation structure 20 is provided with two insulation shells (i.e., a first insulation shell 24 and a second insulation shell 25). This allows for quick assembly of the insulation structure 20 and the heat exchange component 10. It is understood that in other embodiments, the insulation structure 20 may also be provided with three, four, five, or six insulation shells. It should be noted that the number of insulation shells is not limited here.
[0038] In one embodiment, the first clearance hole 22 is formed in the first insulation shell 24, and the first insulation shell 24 is flush with the side away from the insulation cavity 21. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the first insulation shell 24 may also have a protrusion on the side away from the insulation cavity 21, and the first clearance hole 22 communicating with the insulation cavity 21 is formed in the protrusion.
[0039] In one embodiment, the second clearance hole 23 is formed in the first insulation shell 24. In specific applications, the second clearance hole 23 is disposed in the first insulation shell 24 and / or the second insulation shell 25, and can be determined according to the position of the exhaust pipe 13. In this embodiment, the exhaust pipe 13 is correspondingly disposed in the first insulation shell 24, and the second clearance hole 23 is formed in the first insulation shell 24. It is understood that in other embodiments, the second clearance hole 23 can also be formed in the second insulation shell 25. For example, the exhaust pipe 13 is correspondingly disposed in the second insulation shell 25, and the second clearance hole 23 is formed in the second insulation shell 25.
[0040] In one embodiment, the first insulation shell 24 is detachably connected to the second insulation shell 25. This facilitates maintenance of the heat exchange component 10. Of course, in other embodiments, the first insulation shell 24 and the second insulation shell 25 can also be fixedly connected.
[0041] In one embodiment, the first insulation shell 24 and the second insulation shell 25 are respectively snap-fitted to the heat exchange body 11. Thus, the first insulation shell 24 and the second insulation shell 25 are detachably connected to the heat exchange body 11, achieving a detachable connection between the first insulation shell 24 and the second insulation shell 25. For specific applications, please refer to... Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The heat exchange body 11 has a groove 111 on the side facing the first insulation shell 24, and the first insulation shell 24 has a protrusion 241 on the side facing the heat exchange body 11, which engages with the groove 111. The engagement of the groove 111 and the protrusion 241 achieves the snap-fit connection between the first insulation shell 24 and the heat exchange body 11. The second insulation shell 25 has an insulation cavity 21, and the heat exchange body 11 is interference-fitted into the insulation cavity 21 to achieve the snap-fit connection between the second insulation shell 25 and the heat exchange body 11. This connection method has a simple structure and is easy for workers to assemble.
[0042] It is understood that in other embodiments, the first insulation shell 24 and the second insulation shell 25 can also be snap-fitted together. In specific applications, the second insulation shell 25 is provided with an insulation cavity 21. The heat exchange body 11 is installed in the insulation cavity 21, and then the first insulation shell 24 is placed on top of the second insulation shell 25 and snap-fitted together with the second insulation shell 25 to realize the assembly of the heat exchange component 10 and the insulation structure 20.
[0043] This utility model embodiment also provides a water supply device, including the aforementioned heat exchange device 100. By employing the aforementioned heat exchange device 100, the heat exchange device 100 can be prevented from dissipating heat into the surrounding environment, thereby protecting the components adjacent to the heat exchange device 100.
[0044] In practical applications, the heat exchange component 10 can heat or cool the water body depending on the heat exchange medium. When the heat exchange medium is a refrigerant (such as a cooling medium), it can absorb heat from the water body to cool the water body so that the water supply equipment can supply cold water. When the heat exchange medium is a heat medium (such as hot water), it can transfer heat to the water body to heat the water body so that the water supply equipment can supply hot water.
[0045] In this embodiment, the water supply equipment also includes a heat tank (not shown), which is connected to the heat exchange medium flow channel of the heat exchange body 11 to provide a heat exchange medium (hot water) to the heat exchange device 100. Specifically, the heat tank is provided with an outlet and an inlet, a medium input connector is connected to the outlet, and a medium output connector is connected to the inlet, so that the heat exchange medium circulates within the heat tank and the heat exchange medium flow channel of the heat exchange body 11. This embodiment enables the water supply equipment to provide hot water by providing a heat tank.
[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
