Description

Domestic hot water storage device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of hot water supply equipment, in particular to a domestic hot water storage device.
Background
In daily life, hot water (generally 30-60 ℃) is often used for cleaning, bathing and the like. The current common domestic hot water supply mode is as follows: cold water in tap water is heated to hot water of a preset temperature by a water heater (gas combustion heating or electric heating), and then is delivered to various water use terminals such as a faucet, a shower head and the like through a pipeline. When the water heater is turned off, the hot water supply is cut off, and the hot water staying in the pipe is continuously radiated to be cold water. Therefore, when the user just turns on the water use terminal, cold water is initially discharged and heated hot water is discharged thereafter. In order to improve the user experience and enable the user to directly discharge hot water when the water using terminal is just opened, some manufacturers develop a zero-cold-water design. By zero cold water is meant that the temperature of the liquid in the pipe connecting the water terminals is maintained within a preset range (i.e. always in a hot water state).
In order to realize zero cold water supply, most of the conventional hot water supply equipment is provided with a circulating pump and a temperature sensor on a pipeline, when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature of liquid in the pipeline is lower than a preset value, the circulating pump is triggered to drive the liquid in the pipeline to circulate continuously, and the liquid is heated to a preset range by using a water heater.
The drawbacks of the above-mentioned conventional design are: firstly, the liquid retained in the pipeline dissipates heat very rapidly, so that the circulating water pump and the water heater can be frequently touched to work, the noise is obvious, the water heater can be frequently started in a short time, and the service life of the water heater is greatly shortened. Secondly, if a user needs large-flow hot water supply, in order to meet the heating requirement, a high-power water heater needs to be installed, and the low-power water heater is limited by the minimum heat load (namely the minimum requirement for starting the water heater), so that the problems of overhigh water temperature and sudden cooling and sudden heating in summer are easily caused.

The first temperature sensor T2 is located in an upper layer of the water storage tank WT. The second temperature sensor T3 is located at the lower layer of the water storage tank WT.
Further, in the present embodiment, an outer circumferential side of the water storage tank WT may be provided with a heat insulating plate. The heat insulation plate is used for reducing heat loss of the water storage tank WT and improving the heat insulation effect of the water storage tank WT.
As shown in fig. 2, the water supply module includes: the water supply main path and the water supply bypass connected in parallel with the water supply main path. Wherein, the main water supply path is connected between the water outlet pipe X2 and the inlet end C of the pipeline of the water terminal S, and the main water supply path is provided with a first one-way valve C2 connected with the water outlet pipe X2. The water supply bypass is provided with: the water mixing device comprises an electric water mixing valve M2, a circulating water pump P, a third temperature sensor T1 and a three-way reversing valve M1. The electric water mixing valve M2, the circulating water pump P and the three-way reversing valve M1 are sequentially connected in series. A first inlet end (the left end of the M2 in the figure) of the electric water mixing valve M2 is connected between the water outlet pipe X2 and the first one-way valve C2, and an outlet end (the top end of the M2 in the figure) of the electric water mixing valve M2 is connected with the circulating water pump P. The circulating water pump P is connected with the inlet end (the bottom end of M1 in the figure) of the three-way reversing valve M1. The first outlet end (left end of M1 in the figure) of the three-way reversing valve M1 is connected with the inlet end C of the pipeline of the water using terminal S, and the second outlet end (right end of M1 in the figure) of the three-way reversing valve M1 is connected with the inlet end D of the water heater H. And the third temperature sensor T1 is connected between the circulating water pump P and the three-way reversing valve M1.

In this embodiment, the controller is electrically connected to the first temperature sensor T2, the second temperature sensor T3, the third temperature sensor T1, the fourth temperature sensor T4, the electric water mixing valve M2, the circulating water pump P, and the three-way reversing valve M1, respectively.
In order to improve the safety of the equipment operation, the domestic hot water storage device can be further improved as follows:
for example, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, in this embodiment, the water replenishing module may further include: a water pressure sensing device K2 connected with the bidirectional pipe X1. The water pressure sensing device K2 is electrically connected with the controller. The water pressure sensing device K2 can detect the water pressure of the water storage tank WT, and the condition that the circulating water pump idles when the water supply network is cut off is avoided. For example, when the water pressure sensing means K2 detects that the water pressure value is lower than a preset value, the controller may issue an alarm signal and lock the operation state of the circulation water pump P to stop. In this embodiment, the water pressure sensing device K2 is specifically a water pressure switch, and in other embodiments, it may also be a hydraulic pressure sensor.
For another example, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, in the present embodiment, the main water replenishing path may further include a safety relief valve K3. When the water supplementing main path is abnormal or the water in the water storage tank WT is subjected to thermal expansion, the water pressure reaches a critical value, the pressure can be automatically relieved through the safety relief valve K3, and the operation safety of the equipment is improved.
For another example, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the water replenishing main path may be further provided with an expansion tank ET. The expansion tank ET can absorb the expansion volume generated by heating the water in the water storage tank WT, so that the water pressure of the water storage tank WT is prevented from rising quickly, and the running safety of equipment is improved.
In this embodiment, the flow direction of the liquid can be controlled based on the principle that the liquid flows from a high pressure to a low pressure. In order to control the flowing direction of the flowing water more accurately, an electric control valve connected with the controller can be arranged, and the flowing of the flowing water is ensured according to a preset operation scheme.
For example, in some embodiments, the water replenishing main road may be further provided with: a first electrically controlled valve connected to the two-way pipe X1. The water supplementing bypass is provided with a second electric control valve connected with the two-way pipe X1. The first electric control valve and the second electric control valve are respectively and electrically connected with the controller. The first electric control valve is matched with the second electric control valve, so that the accuracy of water flow direction control of the water replenishing module can be improved. For example, a first electric control valve is installed at the right end of the water pressure sensing device K2 in the drawing, and a second electric control valve is installed between the electric mixing valve M2 and the water pressure sensing device K2 in the drawing.
For another example, in some embodiments, the main outlet path may be provided with a third electrically controlled valve connected to outlet pipe X2. The third electric control valve is electrically connected with the controller. The third electric control valve can improve the accuracy of controlling the water flow direction of the water outlet module. For example, a third electrically controlled valve is installed at a lower end position of the first check valve C2.
The working principle is briefly described as follows:
1. general overview:
as shown in fig. 2, the storage tank WT is used to store hot water. When zero cold water circulation needs to be realized in the pipeline of the water terminal S, the circulating water pump P is started, hot water is pumped from the water storage tank WT to enter the pipeline of the water terminal S, and cold water originally remained in the pipeline of the water terminal S flows back into the water storage tank WT to be mixed with hot water in the water storage tank WT, so that zero cold water circulation is realized.
2. Zero cold water circulation mode:
as shown in fig. 3, the water use terminal S is in a closed state. When the temperature detected by the fourth temperature sensor T4 is lower than the preset value, the three-way directional valve M1 is switched to the left side, the circulating water pump P is started, hot water is pumped from the upper layer of the water storage tank WT through the water outlet pipe X2 and conveyed into the pipeline of the water using terminal S until the temperature detected by the fourth temperature sensor T4 reaches the preset value.
Here, it is considered that during some time periods when hot water is not needed, the device may run a zero cold water cycle at intervals, which is mostly useless, and is not beneficial to energy saving. Thus, in this embodiment, the controller may have a demand period setting function and an artificially activated zero cold water function. The zero cold water circulation can be set at a specific demand time through the demand period setting function, and the operation frequency of the equipment is reduced. And the artificial activation of the zero cold water function may allow the user to artificially trigger the zero cold water cycle during non-demand periods.
For example, the zero cooling water circulation operation is started when the temperature detected by the fourth temperature sensor T4 is lower than a preset value and during a demand time period or when zero cooling water is activated manually.
3. Hot water use mode:
as shown in fig. 4, the water storage tank S is in an open state. Hot water flows out of the outlet pipe X2 of the water storage tank WT, and at the same time, tap water (cold water) is replenished into WT from the bidirectional pipe X1. At the moment, the water flow switch K1 is closed, the three-way reversing valve M1 is switched to the left side, and the circulating water pump P is started to increase pressure and flow. The left and right sides of the electric mixing valve M2 are simultaneously opened, and the respective opening degrees (mixing ratio of cold water and hot water) are adjusted according to the difference between the third temperature sensor T1 and the target temperature set by the user, and the temperature of the mixed water obtained after adjustment is equal to the target temperature and enters the circulating water pump P from the upper end of the electric mixing valve M2.
In designing the capacity of the storage tank WT, it is prioritized that the capacity can be such that the heat provided by the storage tank WT can meet the heat demand of the water during a set period of time, so the situation where hot water usage and heat replenishment coexist is not considered here (see 4.2 below, this mode is a very special case, generally without consideration, or priority of the operating conditions is set to guide the usage to the user).
4. Heat supplement mode:
4.1. as shown in fig. 5, the water use terminal S is in a closed state. The temperatures detected by the second temperature sensor T3 and the first temperature sensor T2 are gradually decreased as the tap water (cold water) is replenished due to the use of hot water or naturally radiated in a non-use state. When the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor T2 is lower than the preset value, the three-way reversing valve M1 is switched to the right side, the electric water mixing valve M2 is adjusted to the right side and fully opened (left side closed), the cold water at the lower layer of the water storage tank WT is conveyed to the water heater H through the two-way pipe X1 to be heated, and the heated water flows back to the upper layer of the water storage tank WT through the water return pipe X3 and stops until the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor T3 reaches the preset value.
4.2. As shown in fig. 6, the water service terminal S is in an open state. As the hot water is continuously used, the temperatures detected by the second temperature sensor T3 and the first temperature sensor T2 are gradually decreased. When the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor T2 is lower than the preset value, the three-way reversing valve M1 is switched to the right side, the electric water mixing valve M2 is adjusted to the right side and is fully opened (the left side is closed), cold water at the lower layer of the water storage tank WT is conveyed to the water heater H through the two-way pipe X1 to be heated, the heated water flows back to the upper layer of the water storage tank WT through the water return pipe X3, meanwhile, the water storage tank WT continuously conveys hot water to a pipeline of a water terminal S through the water outlet pipe X2, and the use mode of the regenerated water is switched until the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor T3 reaches the preset value. At this time, under the action of the circulating water pump P, part of the water output from the water storage tank WT is delivered to the water heater H to be heated, and the other part of the water output from the water storage tank WT flows into the pipeline of the water terminal S from the main water supply pipe.
In addition, the operation mode of the domestic hot water storage apparatus may be set to priority, for example, the zero cold water circulation function is artificially triggered to the highest priority, and then the heat supplement function, the hot water use function, and the automatic zero cold water circulation function are sequentially performed.
The domestic hot water storage apparatus stores hot water using the storage tank WT, and by controlling the circulation flow of hot water in the pipe of the water use terminal, cold water staying in the pipe of the water use terminal is replaced and the cold water is made to flow back into the storage tank WT to be mixed with the hot water, thereby achieving zero cold water supply. This design has avoided frequent use water heater H, and the noise reduction reduces the frequent short time start of water heater H, is favorable to prolonging the life to water heater H. And a large amount of hot water can be prestored by using the water storage tank, the requirement on large-flow water consumption is met, the power requirement on the water heater H is lower, and the problems of overhigh water temperature and sudden cooling and sudden heating in summer are solved.
All possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments may not be described for the sake of brevity, but should be considered as being within the scope of the present disclosure as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.
The above examples only express the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is specific and detailed, but not to be understood as the limitation of the invention patent scope. It should be noted that various changes and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention, and these changes and modifications are all within the scope of the invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
