It should be noted that in other embodiments of the present invention, the first temperature sensor 112 can also be disposed on the hot water outlet pipe 101 between the water heater 10 and the valve 120 near the valve 120.
Further, a flow regulator 113 is communicatively coupled to the controller 111. When the flow regulator 113 is in communication connection with the controller 111, the controller 111 controls the flow regulator 113 to regulate the flow of the recovered water in the recovered water outlet pipeline 140 within a proper range when the water pump 150 is controlled to work, and the flow regulator is not required to regulate the flow manually, so that the system is more intelligent and convenient.
Furthermore, in order to ensure that the temperature change is hard to be perceived by the user after the cold water and the hot water are mixed, the hot water using experience is better, and the ratio of the water flow in the recovered water outlet pipeline 140 to the water flow in the hot water outlet pipeline 101 is controlled to be less than or equal to 1: 10.
Further, the recycled water outlet pipeline 140 includes a heat exchange thin pipe section 141, the heat exchange thin pipe section 141 is disposed in the waste water drain pipe 30, a second temperature sensor 114 is disposed in the waste water drain pipe 30, and the second temperature sensor 114 is in communication connection with the controller 111.
When the temperature of water heater 10 exhaust hot water when reaching valve 120 reaches and predetermines the temperature, hot water outlet mechanism 11 exhaust hot water, if the user uses hot water in the mode that adopts the shower, then useless hot water is discharged as the heat source from waste water drain pipe 30, retrieve cold water and carry out the heat transfer as cold source and useless hot water when passing through heat transfer tubule section 141, it is mixed with hot water to retrieve the backward flow after the cold water is heated, can further less mix the difference in temperature between hot water and the water heater exhaust hot water, can further improve and use experience.
Preferably, the heat exchange tube segments 141 are stainless steel tubes. The stainless steel tubule has good heat-conducting property and high strength.
Further, as shown in fig. 3, a heat exchange thin pipe section 141 is spirally disposed in the waste water drain pipe 30. The heat exchange thin tubes are distributed spirally, so that the heat exchange efficiency can be improved.
Further, the electronic control system 110 further includes a water pressure sensor 115, the water pressure sensor 115 is disposed on the recycled water outlet pipeline 140 and located between the water storage tank 130 and the water pump 150, and the water pressure sensor 115 is in communication connection with the controller 111.
The water pressure sensor 115 is used for detecting the water pressure in the water storage tank 130 and transmitting a water pressure signal to the controller 111, the controller 111 judges the water pressure according to the water pressure sensor 115, when the water amount in the water storage tank 130 is reduced, the water pressure is reduced, and when the water pressure sensor 115 detects that the water pressure is lower than a threshold value, the controller 111 controls the water pump 150 to stop working in order to avoid the water pump 150 from being damaged due to idling.
