Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a small water heater used for drinking tea, coffee, etc.

"Prior Art" Conventionally, electric pots and gas water heaters have been known as this type of water heater.

However, the former method had the disadvantage that water had to be replenished every time the hot water in the pot ran out, which was troublesome.

The latter is constructed so that tap water is passed through a pipe bent in a zigzag manner, and the pipe is heated by burning gas to produce hot water. For this reason, when gas is used to burn the water, the water in the downstream pipe is discharged from the nozzle without being sufficiently heated, which has the disadvantage that the water is cold for a while at the beginning of use.

In addition, since the gas is combusted, various devices such as an ignition device, a safety device, a temperature control device, etc. are attached to the device, so it is expensive.

``Purpose of the present invention'' In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional devices, the present invention is capable of dispensing heated hot water from the beginning of use.
It also has a simple structure that allows the tank to be placed at the bottom of a table such as a sink, allowing it to automatically replenish the amount of water used.It is relatively inexpensive, easy to install, and safe to use. There is a way to get a water heater that can be built.

"Means for Achieving the Object of the Present Invention" The present invention consists of a tank body that can store water, a threaded pipe that can be passed through a hole in a table part of a sink, etc. that protrudes from the upper center of the tank body; A tank consisting of a clamping nut that is screwed into this threaded pipe to fix the tank body to a table part such as a sink, and a tank that is connected to a water pipe provided so as to communicate with the lower end of this tank. a water supply pipe that leads tap water to a full tank; an electric heater provided in the tank that can heat water stored in the tank to make hot water; and a threaded pipe of the tank. The present invention is characterized by comprising a nozzle having an opening/closing lever that can sequentially discharge hot water from the upper side of the tank heated by the electric heater attached so as to communicate with the tank.

"Embodiments of the present invention" The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, 1 is a tank capable of storing water;
The tank body 2 has a vertically elongated, substantially rectangular front shape and is made of a metal material such as copper with good thermal conductivity and has a capacity of about 2 to 4. There is a tank body 2 with a tank body 2 having a capacity of about 2 to 4, and a tank body 2 with a tank body 2 having a substantially rectangular shape and a tank body 2 having a capacity of about 2 to 4 at the top and communicating with the inside. a threaded pipe 5 provided with clamping nuts 4, 4 so that the tank body 2, which is protruding from the tank body 2, can be attached and fixed in a hanging state to the table portion 3a of the sink 3, etc.; and a heat insulating material that covers the tank body 2. It is composed of a cover case 6 molded with.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a bendable copper water supply pipe installed to communicate with the lower end of the tank body 2 of the tank 1, and this water supply pipe 7 is connected to a water pipe 8 via a stop valve 9 to supply tap water. This guides the tank body 2 so that it is full.

10 is a tank 1 provided in the tank 1;
This heater 10 is capable of heating water supplied into the tank body 2 through the water supply pipe 7 to make hot water, and this heater 10 is turned off when the water in the tank body 2 rises to a predetermined temperature. An electric heater configured to turn on when the temperature drops below a predetermined temperature is used, and is attached to the lower front of the tank body 2 of the tank 1.

Reference numeral 11 denotes an opening/closing lever 12 that is attached to communicate with the upper end of the tank body 2 of the tank 1 and can sequentially discharge hot water from the upper side of the tank body 2 heated by the heater 10. This nozzle 11 has the tank 1
The lower end portion is inserted into the threaded pipe 5 and is tightened and fixed by a clamping nut 4 on the upper side screwed into the threaded pipe 5.

Further, the tip of the nozzle 11 is bent downward.

In the case of the water heater 13 having the above configuration, the sink 3
etc. will be installed. That is, there is a hole 14 into which the threaded pipe 5 of the tank 1 can be inserted into the table part 3a of the sink 3.
, and insert the threaded pipe 5 into the hole 14 into the sink 3 with the upper clamping nut 4 and nozzle 11 removed.
Insert from the inside side.

Thereafter, the nozzle 11 is attached to the threaded pipe 5 protruding from the hole 14, and the clamping nut 4 is screwed to tighten and fix the nozzle 11. This nozzle 1
1 is fixed, turn the clamping nut 4 on the lower side to tighten and fix the tank 1, and support the tank 1 in a suspended state.

Thereafter, after connecting the water supply pipe 7 via the stop valve 9, the plug 10a of the heater 10 is inserted into the outlet 15, thereby completing the installation work.

When the water heater 13 installed in this manner opens the stop valve 9, the tap water from the water pipe 8 is stored in the tank body 2 in a full state through the water supply pipe 7, and is heated by the heater 10. It becomes hot water.

If you want to drink coffee or the like in this state, place the cup under the nozzle 11 and open the opening/closing lever 12 of the nozzle 11. Hot water on the higher upper side is discharged from the nozzle 11 and poured into the cup.

At this time, the amount discharged from the nozzle 11 is
Tap water is automatically replenished into the tank body 2 from the water pipe 8, and the tank body 2 is always kept full.

"Different Embodiments of the Present Invention" Next, different embodiments of the present invention shown in FIG. 5 will be described. In the description of the embodiment, the same components as those in the embodiment of the present invention are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanation will be omitted.

The main difference between the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 and the embodiment of the present invention is that a water purifier 20 is interposed between the water supply pipe 7 and the water supply pipe 8.
By interposing the water purifier 20 between the water pipe 8 and the water pipe 8, tap water can be purified, so that tea or coffee can be brewed more deliciously.

"Effects of the Present Invention" As is clear from the above explanation, the present invention has the following effects.

(1) A tank that can store water, a water supply pipe that is connected to a water pipe that communicates with the lower end of this tank and leads the tank to fill with tap water, and the tank a heater capable of heating the water stored in the tank to make hot water; and a heater provided in communication with the upper end of the tank that is heated by the heater. Since the nozzle has an opening/closing lever that can sequentially discharge hot water from the upper side, tap water is sequentially supplied into the tank and heated by the heater to turn it into hot water.

Therefore, hot water can be discharged from the beginning of use.

(2) According to (1) above, tap water is automatically supplied to the tank in sequence, so the tank never becomes empty. Therefore, there is no need to replenish water, which is convenient.

(3) According to (1) above, since the nozzle is provided at the upper end of the tank, hot water from the hottest part of the tank can be discharged.

(4) Due to (1) above, the structure is simple and can be manufactured at relatively low cost.

(5) Attach the tank to the bottom of a table such as a sink by inserting a threaded pipe into a hole formed in the table of a sink, etc., and screwing and tightening a clamping nut onto the threaded pipe protruding from the top. be able to. Therefore, it is possible to effectively utilize a portion that has conventionally been an unnecessary space, and the installation of the water heater can prevent damage to the aesthetic appearance.

That is, because conventional water heaters are attached to the top of a table or the like or to a pillar, there are disadvantages in that the effective usable space of the table is reduced and the indoor space is narrowed.

(6) Since the tank is equipped with an electric heater, it can be used safely even when installed under a table such as a sink.

That is, for safety reasons, it is impossible to install a gas heater under a table such as a sink.
