Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary only for explaining the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, in one embodiment of the present invention, a liquid heating apparatus is provided, and for convenience of description, the liquid heating apparatus is used for boiling water to illustrate the working principle. The liquid heating device comprises a heating water tank 1 for boiling water, a sealing assembly 2 arranged above the heating water tank 1, a lifting water sealing seat 6 arranged at one end of the heating water tank 1 facing the sealing assembly 2 in a penetrating manner, and a water outlet pipe 3 arranged on one side of the heating water tank 1. For convenience of description, the terms "upper", "lower", "top" and "bottom" are used hereinafter with reference to the liquid heating apparatus in fig. 1. The heating water tank 1 is used to heat water inside thereof. The seal assembly 2 comprises a plug body 21 and a water seal 22. The plug 21 is substantially cylindrical and is disposed above the heating water tank 1. The stopper 21 is provided with a water injection hole 211, and an output end of the water injection hole 211 is communicated with the heating water tank 1, so that water can be injected into the heating water tank 1 from an input end of the water injection hole 211. The water seal 22 is substantially in the form of a plug, and the water seal 22 is provided below the water injection hole 211 so as to float up and down. The density of the water seal 22 is less than that of water, and therefore, the water seal 22 can float on water. When the water in the heating water tank 1 is filled, the water sealing piece 22 floats upwards to block the water injection hole, so that the water can be prevented from being injected into the heating water tank 1 continuously. The water outlet pipe 3 is tubular, and the water outlet pipe 3 is inserted on the heating water tank 1. The input end of the water outlet pipe 3 is communicated with the heating water tank 1, so that the water in the heating water tank 1 can enter the water outlet pipe 3. The output end of the water outlet pipe 3 protrudes upwards from the heating water tank 1, so that a certain amount of water can be stored in the heating water tank 1. When the heating water tank 1 is filled with water, the pressure in the heating water tank 1 is increased by the steam generated by heating, and the hot water in the heating water tank 1 is pressed out from the water outlet pipe 3.

The lifting water sealing seat 6 is arranged at the top end of the heating water tank 1 in a penetrating way. The lifting water sealing seat 6 comprises a seat body 61 arranged on the rotating head 14 in a penetrating way and a floating ball 62 arranged in the seat body 61. The holder body 61 has a substantially cylindrical shape, and the holder body 61 is disposed movably up and down, so that when the holder body 61 moves downward, the position of the holder body 61 relative to the heating water tank 1 is lowered. When the holder body 61 is moved upward, the position of the base 61 with respect to the heating water tank 1 is raised. The base body 61 is provided with a water through hole 611, an input end of the water through hole 611 is communicated with an output end of the water injection hole 211, and an output end of the water through hole 611 is communicated with the heating water tank 1, so that water flowing from the water injection hole 211 can flow into the heating water tank 1 through the water through hole 611 on the base body 61. The ball 62 is spherical, and the density of the ball 62 is less than that of water, so the ball 62 can float on the water. When water is filled into the heating water tank 1, the liquid level in the heating water tank 1 gradually rises, and when the liquid level is over the seat body 61, the floating ball 62 floats to the top of the water through hole 611 due to buoyancy to block the input end of the water through hole 611, so that water is prevented from being continuously added into the heating water tank 1. Therefore, when the seat body 61 moves downward, the floating ball 62 moves downward along with the seat body 61, the position of the seat body 61 relative to the heating water tank 1 is lowered, and the water inflow of the heating water tank 1 is reduced at this time. When the seat 61 moves upward, the floating ball 62 moves upward along with the seat 61, and the position of the seat 61 relative to the heating water tank 1 is raised, so that the water inflow of the heating water tank 1 is increased. Therefore, the liquid heating device can change the quantity of the heated water because the water inlet quantity of the heating water tank 1 is variable, and can meet the requirements of different users.

One end of the elastic portion 224 is connected to the plug body 21, and the other end of the elastic portion 224 is connected to the closing portion 222. Therefore, when the water in the storage tank 4 flows into the water inlet 211, the stopper 222 receives the pressure of the water, and the elastic member 224 is stretched. When the water in the heating water tank 1 is filled, the elastic portion 224 is compressed by the upward pushing force of the blocking portion 222. When the heating water tank 1 is not filled with water, the elastic portion 224 is in the original length state, and the sealing portion 222 is separated from the output end of the water filling hole 211, so that the water in the water storage tank 4 can flow into the heating water tank 1 quickly when the water is filled.
