Fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a self-cleaning method of a gas water heater provided by the invention.
The self-cleaning method of the gas water heater provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps of:
s1: closing the total water inlet valve 5 of the gas water heater and opening the one-way valve 13;
s2: adding a detergent to the addition tank 3;
s3: starting a self-cleaning function, enabling water flow to flow into the adding tank 3 to dissolve the descaling agent, and starting the water pump 2 to enable the descaling agent to flow along with the circulating pipeline 1 in a circulating way;
s4: turning on the heating function of the gas water heater, and stopping heating when the temperature of the inlet water reaches the set dissolution temperature;
s5: in the scouring soaking time, the water pump 2 is started and stopped at intervals, and the circulating pipeline 1 is scoured and soaked;
s6: after the flushing is finished, starting a reminding function and a drainage function; and
s7: after the water discharge is completed, the water outlet valve is closed, and the self-cleaning function is closed.
As shown in fig. 3, step S1 may implement the circulation line 1 to form a passage. Step S2, adding a scale remover to the adding tank 3 on the passage for subsequent scale removal. In the step S3, the self-cleaning worker turns on the water pump 2 to melt the descaling agent into water so as to circulate in the circulation pipeline 1. Step S4, heating the cold water in the circulating pipeline 1 to completely melt the descaling agent into the water. And S5, after the descaling agent is completely dissolved, the water pump 2 is started and stopped at intervals to realize the interval circulation of water, and the water scale flushing and water scale soaking are circularly carried out. Step S6 is to remove scale and then discharge it out of the circulation line 1. Finally, step S7 completes the self-cleaning function.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, closing the total inlet valve 5 and opening the one-way valve 13 of the gas water heater comprises: before self-cleaning, the total water inlet valve 5 of the gas water heater is manually closed to avoid dilution and running away after adding the scale remover; and opening the check valve 13 so that the circulation line 1 forms a water flow path from the cold-heat converting line 11 to the cold water line 12.
As shown in fig. 3, before the self-cleaning function is used, a user is required to manually close the total water inlet valve 5 in the house where the gas water heater is located. Avoid diluting the scale remover and not fully dissolving the scale of the circulating pipeline 1. Avoiding the detergent from flowing to the families of other users, and causing peculiar smell although harmless.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the addition of the detergent to the addition tank 3 includes: setting a dissolution ratio in an APP of the mobile equipment according to the type of the detergent; calculating the water flow speed by using a water flow sensor arranged in a circulating pipeline 1 of the gas water heater, and further calculating the water storage capacity in the circulating pipeline 1; calculating the consumption of the dissolving agent according to the dissolution ratio and the water storage amount; and adding the calculated amount of the dissolving agent to the addition tank 3.
As shown in fig. 3, the detergent dosage is automatically calculated by the program after the user sets the dissolution ratio on APP (the user sets according to the detergent solvent ratio selected by himself). For example: the user dissolution ratio was set to 1:50. The gas water heater with the water pump 2 has the cold water preheating function. When the user uses the water pipe preheating function, the program has automatically calculated the pipe water storage. The calculation method is as follows: the gas water heater is provided with a water flow sensor for controlling the start and stop of the gas water heater (after the water flow is larger than the start flow, the gas water heater is ignited and burnt). The device is used for obtaining the water flow speed aL/min of each second, and multiplying the water flow speed aL/min by 1S to obtain the water flow (aL/min/60) 1S flowing in 1S. Hot water from the water outlet of the gas water heater is driven by the water pump 2 to flow back to the water inlet of the gas water heater. The water temperature is continuously reduced in the reflux process (heat exchange with the cold water of the previous section, heat exchange with a pipeline and the like). When the temperature of the inlet water starts to rise, the hot water at the water outlet can be considered to flow back to the water inlet. In order to avoid misjudgment, the temperature of the rising heat is set to be 2-3 ℃. At this time, the accumulated calculation of the water flow in the pipeline is completed, and the water storage capacity of the pipeline is

For example, the water storage amount is 4L. Then, the dissolution ratio was set to 1:50, and the pipe water storage amount was 4L. The amount of the dissolving agent used was X=4000 mL/50=80 g.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, after the self-cleaning function of the gas water heater is started, the solenoid valve 4 controlling the opening and closing of the addition tank 3 is opened, water flows into the addition tank 3, the detergent is dissolved, the water pump 2 in the circulation line 1 is started, so that the water flow in the circulation line 1 circulates, and thus the detergent dissolved in the water flow also circulates.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, after the heating is completed, the gas water heater is blocked, and the ignition cannot be performed until the inlet water temperature is reduced to the bath set temperature. At this time, the water pump 2 is started for 1 minute, and stopped for 1 minute, and the rotation is continuously performed. The tubing was flushed and soaked for 30 minutes to allow the scale to dissolve well and the flush flow prevented redeposition.

As shown in fig. 3, the operator determines whether detergent is still remained in the water by observing the color of the water, which has been smelled through the nose. A continuous 10s absence of water flow can determine that the water has been emptied. The cleaning operation is ended.
The self-cleaning system of the gas water heater comprises a circulating pipeline 1, a water pump 2, an adding tank 3, a total water inlet valve 5, a controller, a WIFI module and mobile equipment APP. The cleaning system adopts the cleaning method, wherein the mobile device APP stores self-cleaning operation steps.
