The embodiment of the invention provides a gas water heater, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, comprising a shell 1, wherein a heat exchanger 4 for heat exchange is arranged in the shell 1, and a water inlet pipe 2 and a water outlet pipe 3 which are communicated with the heat exchanger 4, the water inlet pipe 2 comprises a bath water inlet branch 21 and a water storage purification branch 22 which are connected in parallel, a bath water filter 5 for purifying bath water is communicated in the bath water inlet branch 21, and a water storage filter 6 for filtering water passing through the water storage purification branch 22 into weakly acidic water is arranged in the water storage purification branch 22; the water outlet pipe 3 comprises a bath water outlet branch 31 and a water discharge branch 32 which are connected in parallel; when the gas water heater works, the bath water inlet branch 21 of the water inlet pipe 2 is used for feeding water, the bath water outlet branch 31 of the water outlet pipe 3 is used for discharging water, and after the gas water heater works, the water storage purification branch 22 of the water inlet pipe 2 is used for feeding water, and the water drainage branch 32 of the water outlet pipe 3 is used for discharging water so as to replace water in the heat exchanger 4.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the gas water heater according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a water inlet pipe 2 including a bath water inlet branch 21 and a water storage purification branch 22 connected in parallel, a bath water filter 5 for purifying bath water is connected to the bath water inlet branch 21, and a water storage filter 6 for filtering water passing through the water storage purification branch 22 into weakly acidic water; the water outlet pipe 3 comprises a bath water outlet branch 31 and a water discharge branch 32 which are connected in parallel; when the gas water heater works, for example, when a user needs to take a bath, referring to fig. 3, the bath water inlet branch 21 of the water inlet pipe 2 is used for feeding water, the bath water filter 5 filters tap water into healthy bath water, then the tap water exchanges heat with the heat exchanger 4 to form hot water, and the hot water is discharged from the bath water outlet branch 31 of the water outlet pipe 3; when the gas water heater is ready to stand by after working, referring to fig. 4, the stored water purifying branch 22 of the water inlet pipe 2 is filled with water, the stored water filter 6 filters tap water into weakly acidic water, then the water flows into the heat exchanger 4, the original bath water in the heat exchanger 4 is replaced, and the replaced bath water can be discharged from the water discharge branch 32 of the water outlet pipe 3. Compared with the prior art, the water purifier has two sets of independent purification systems, can switch the effect of purifying water according to different requirements, and particularly can filter tap water into weakly acidic water through the water storage filter 6 and replace water in the heat exchanger 4 when the gas water heater is in standby. Thus, when the gas water heater is in a standby state, the water around the heat exchanger 4 is weakly acidic water, so that the time for the chemical reaction between the alkaline tap water and the heat exchanger 4 is reduced, and the heat exchanger 4 is protected. Meanwhile, the purified weak acid water can chemically react with the scale in the heat exchanger 4 to remove the scale, reduce the attenuation of the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 4 and prolong the service life of the gas heat exchanger. Moreover, if the gas water heater provided by the embodiment of the invention is applied to the existing gas water heater, the original combustion system and the original exhaust system are not changed, only the water path structure is changed, and the system transformation cost is greatly reduced.
There are various implementation schemes for implementing the switching of the two sets of purification systems, and for example, two embodiments are described in detail below.
Example one
As shown in fig. 2, a water inlet valve 7 for opening or closing the bath water inlet branch 21 is arranged in the bath water inlet branch 21, and the water storage filter 6 comprises a high-pressure pump 61 and a reverse osmosis filter 62 which are communicated in sequence; the drain valve 8 for opening or closing the drain branch 32 is provided in the drain branch 32.
Since the water storage filter 6 comprises the high-pressure pump 61 and the reverse osmosis filter 62 which are communicated in sequence, when the high-pressure pump 61 is started, the reverse osmosis filter 62 can be started to work, and therefore, the water inlet valve 7 which opens or closes the bath water inlet branch 21 can be directly arranged in the bath water inlet branch 21. When the gas water heater works, referring to fig. 3, the bathing water outlet branch 31 is opened by a user, at this time, the water inlet valve 7 can be controlled to open the bathing water inlet branch 21, the water outlet valve 8 closes the water outlet branch 32, tap water flows through the bathing water inlet branch 21, the bathing water filter 5 filters the tap water into healthy bathing water, hot water is formed by heat exchange with the heat exchanger 4, and water is discharged from the bathing water outlet branch 31 of the water outlet pipe 3 for the user to bathe; when the gas water heater is ready to stand by after working, namely the bathing water outlet branch 31 is closed by a user, referring to fig. 4, the water inlet valve 7 can be controlled to close the bathing water inlet branch 21, the water outlet valve 8 opens the water outlet branch 32, so that the water storage purification branch 22 is filled, the water storage filter 6 filters tap water into weakly acidic water, then the weakly acidic water flows into the heat exchanger to replace the original bathing water in the heat exchanger, and the replaced bathing water can be discharged from the water outlet branch 32 of the water outlet pipe 3.
It should be noted that reverse osmosis is also called reverse osmosis, which is a membrane separation operation that separates a solvent from a solution using a pressure difference as a driving force. The reverse osmosis filter 62 is composed of PP cotton (artificial chemical fiber made of polypropylene fiber), activated carbon and reverse osmosis membrane in sequence, and the bath water filter 5 is composed of activated carbon, calcium sulfite and copper-zinc alloy. Considering the change of filter core, the filter core is quick detach formula design, and the filter core is separable with the pipeline, through the type dismouting of rotation, lock. In addition, the cumulative service life ratio of the filter element of the bath water filter 5 is calculated by a water flow sensor or the cumulative starting time of the system. The percentage of the cumulative service life of the filter element of the bath water filter 5 is equal to the difference between the design purified water volume of the filter element of the bath water filter 5 and the cumulative water volume during bathing divided by the design purified water volume of the filter element of the bath water filter 5 multiplied by 100%. The accumulated water consumption during bathing is obtained through accumulation of the water flow sensor. The percentage of the cumulative service life of the reverse osmosis filter 62 cartridge is equal to the difference between the design purified water volume of the reverse osmosis filter cartridge and the cumulative purified water volume of the reverse osmosis filter 62 cartridge divided by the design purified water volume of the reverse osmosis filter 62 cartridge multiplied by 100%. The cumulative clean water volume in the reverse osmosis filter 62 cartridge is equal to the unit time clean water flow of the cartridge multiplied by the cumulative start-up time of the heat exchanger 4 trap water filtration system. In order to meet the requirement of water flow of a user, the sectional area of a water flow channel of the water inlet valve 7 is not less than the sectional area of a water pipe of the heat exchanger 4; the flow attenuation of the bath water filter 5 to the water flow path should be no more than 30% at a pressure of 0.1 MPa. In order to meet the normal work of the system, the inner diameter of the pipeline of the water inlet pipe 2 and the water outlet pipe 3 is more than 4 mm. The flux of the reverse osmosis filter 62 should be larger than 50G, and in order to ensure the using effect, it is preferable that the flux of the reverse osmosis filter 62 is 400G or more, and the faster the water storing speed of the heat exchanger 4 is replaced, the shorter the waiting time of the user.
In the water storage filter 6 of the present embodiment, the pressure of water is increased by the high pressure pump 61, so that water molecules move from one side of the membrane in the reverse osmosis filter 62 to the other side, and further the required purified water is obtained, meanwhile, the water blocked at the other side of the membrane contains more impurities, and the waste water needs to be discharged in time, therefore, referring to fig. 5, the reverse osmosis filter 62 includes a tap water inlet 621, a weakly acidic water outlet 622, and a waste water outlet 623, the tap water inlet 621 is communicated with the high pressure pump 61, the weakly acidic water outlet 622 is communicated with the heat exchanger 4 through the water storage purification branch 22, and the waste water outlet 623 is communicated with the drainage branch. Waste water can be discharged from the drainage branch 32 through the waste water outlet 623.
In order to adjust the filtering accuracy of the reverse osmosis filter 62, as shown in fig. 5, a wastewater proportioner 63 is provided at a wastewater outlet 623 of the reverse osmosis filter 62. The waste water proportioner 63 can adjust the pressure at the waste water outlet 623, thereby controlling the amount of the flowing waste water and having the function of stabilizing the pressure.
In order to monitor the water inflow, a water flow sensor 23 is connected to the water inlet pipe 2 as shown in fig. 2 and 3. The water flow sensor 23 can monitor the water flow information entering the heat exchanger 4 to provide effective information for automatic control. For example, generally, in order to facilitate user operation, the water inlet valve 7 is opened in a normal state, when a user opens a switch of the shower head, water in the water inlet pipe 2 is set to flow, and at this time, the gas water heater can be controlled to start various operations through water flow information detected by the water flow sensor; or, when the water in the heat exchanger 4 is replaced after the gas water heater is operated, the water flow rate is not enough to reach the starting water flow rate of the gas water heater through the water flow rate information detected by the water flow rate sensor, and the gas water heater cannot be started; or, after the gas water heater is operated, when the water in the heat exchanger 4 is replaced, the water flow information detected by the water flow sensor can know the amount of the water flowing into the heat exchanger 4, and then whether the replacement is completed can be judged.
Of course, in order to further realize automatic control, the controller 11 is further included, the water inlet valve 7, the water outlet valve 8 and the high-pressure pump 61 are electrically connected with the controller 11, and the controller 11 is used for controlling the operation states of the water inlet valve 7, the water outlet valve 8 and the high-pressure pump 61.
In order to facilitate man-machine exchange, as shown in fig. 2, the gas water heater further comprises a display input device 9, wherein the display input device 9 is used for displaying the working states of the gas water heater, the bath water filter 5 and the water storage filter 6 and inputting an operation instruction to the controller 11 by a user. The display input device 9 may provide various information, specifically, the information may be displayed by numbers or images, or may be on/off signals of indicator lights, and the user may input the operation instruction to the controller 11 by a mode such as case input, touch input, or voice input.
After the display input device 9 is arranged, a user can conveniently acquire the working state of the gas heat exchanger, and can conveniently control and carry out corresponding actions. For example, when the gas heat exchanger is replacing the stored water in the heat exchanger 4, and the user cannot take a shower at this time, the display and input device 9 may prompt the user to replace the stored water in the heat exchanger through the status indicator lamp, the gas water heater cannot be used by heating at this time, and the user is prompted by buzzing after the replacement is completed, and the indicator lamp is turned off. For example, the display input device 9 displays the corresponding filter activation state, and the system activation is performed when the filter icon is turned on, and the system deactivation is performed when the filter icon is turned off. The user can be reminded to replace the filter element through indication of three different colors and the like, and the filtering effect is guaranteed. For example, green indicates that the cartridge is in good condition, yellow indicates that the cartridge has reached 80% useful life, and red indicates that the cartridge has reached its limit of useful life and needs replacement. And after the new filter element is replaced, the state of the filter element is reset by pressing a preset combined key.
Example two
As shown in fig. 5, the front ends of the bath water inlet branch 21 and the water storage purification branch 22 are both communicated with the water inlet switching valve 7', and the water inlet switching valve 7' can make water flow pass through any one of the bath water inlet branch 21 and the water storage purification branch 22; the front ends of the bath water outlet branch 31 and the drainage branch 32 are both communicated with the water outlet switching valve 8', and the water outlet switching valve 8' can lead water flow to pass through any one of the bath water outlet branch 31 and the drainage branch 32.
The path of water flow can be directly controlled through the water inlet switching valve 7 'and the water outlet switching valve 8', when the gas water heater works, the water inlet switching valve 7 'switches water inlet into a bath water inlet branch 21, the water outlet switching valve 8' switches water outlet into a bath water outlet branch 31, tap water flows through the bath water inlet branch 21, the bath water filter 5 filters the tap water into healthy bath water, hot water is obtained by heat exchange with the heat exchanger 4, and water is discharged from the bath water outlet branch 31 of the water outlet pipe 3 for a user to take a bath; when the gas water heater is ready to stand by after working, the water inlet switching valve 7 'switches the water inlet into the water storage purification branch 22, the water outlet switching valve 8' switches the water outlet into the water discharge branch 32, then the water storage purification branch 22 is enabled to be filled with water, the tap water is filtered into weak acidic water by the water storage filter 6 and flows into the heat exchanger 4, the original bath water in the heat exchanger 4 is replaced, and the replaced bath water can be discharged from the water discharge branch 32 of the water outlet pipe 3.
The water storage filter 6 of the gas water heater of the embodiment can directly realize the control and switching of the water inlet route through the water inlet switching valve 7' and has the characteristic of conduction without active starting of the high-pressure pump 62, so the water storage filter 6 can comprise the high-pressure pump 61 and the reverse osmosis filter 62 which are sequentially communicated, and can also be a device which can add an acidic reagent into water flow. In comparison, the way of adding the acidic reagent into the water flow is affected by different water qualities, so that the pH value cannot be accurately controlled, and the using effect is continuously deteriorated. Therefore, it is also preferable to use the high-pressure pump 61 and the reverse osmosis filter 62.
In addition to making the tap water a weakly acidic water which is less likely to react with the copper pipe, the material of the heat exchanger 4 may be replaced. For example, the replacement heat exchanger 4 is made of stainless steel, which is advantageous only in terms of high corrosion resistance. However, the heat exchanger 4 made of stainless steel has poor heat exchange efficiency and processing reliability as compared with a copper heat exchanger, and is likely to cause welding heat cracks during welding, resulting in water leakage of the heat exchanger.
Of course, the gas water heater of the present embodiment may also be provided with the controller 11 and the display input device 9 as in the present embodiment, so as to realize automatic control and man-machine exchange.
On the other hand, the embodiment of the invention also provides a control method for the gas water heater, and the control method comprises the following steps:
when the operating state operating instruction is received, the bath water filtering system is operated: the bathing water inlet branch 21 is opened, the water storage purification branch 22 is closed, the bathing water outlet branch 31 is opened, and the water drainage branch 32 is closed, so that tap water passes through the bathing water filter 5 of the gas water heater;

In the process of actual use of the gas water heater, if the operation of the working state is finished each time, the water storage and filtration system is operated immediately, and the user experience and the equipment can be influenced. Specifically, on one hand, some users turn off hot water to apply soap during bathing and then need to use water again, and on the other hand, the system is frequently started, which causes energy waste and damages corresponding component devices in the system. Therefore, in order to improve user experience and avoid frequent starting of the system, after the gas water heater is normally used, a preset time can be set for delaying, and after the preset time is over, the water storage and filtration system is set to operate. Namely, the control method further includes: when an instruction of finishing the operation in the working state is received, delaying for a preset time, and then operating the water storage filtering system.
The preset time can be set according to needs and can be adjusted at any time, and generally, the default preset time is preferably 5 minutes. In addition, the preset time can be displayed on the display input device 9 in a timed manner, so that the user can know the working state conveniently.
In order to accurately replace water in the heat exchanger 4, a water flow sensor 23 is communicated with the water inlet pipe 2 of the gas water heater, and the water flow sensor 23 is positioned at the rear end of the water storage purification branch 22; the control method further comprises the following steps:
when the water storage filtering system is operated, the water flow sensor 23 detects water flow information;
judging the magnitude relation between the water flow information and the water storage amount information in the heat exchanger 4 of the gas water heater;
if the water content is larger than or equal to the preset value, the operation of the water storage filtering system is stopped.
By judging the magnitude relation between the water flow information detected by the water flow sensor 23 and the water storage amount information in the heat exchanger 4 of the gas water heater, the amount of the weakly acidic water flowing into the heat exchanger 4 can be known, and if the detected water flow is larger than or equal to the water storage amount information, the replacement is completed, so that the operation of the stored water filtering system can be stopped at the moment.
The above description is only for the specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
