When using this electric water heater, the heater 5 is energized after it is filled with water. At this time, since the temperature of the water W in the heating unit 9a is low, the on-off valve 11 is closed by sensing the low temperature, and the water W in the heating unit 9a is almost immobile. Therefore, most of the heat of the heater 5 is used to heat the water W and is efficiently boiled into hot water.
When the water W in the heating unit 9a becomes hot water HW having a predetermined temperature (for example, 90 ° C.), the on-off valve 11 senses the high temperature and opens, so that the specific gravity difference (density difference) between water and hot water causes Hot water rises in the hot water pipe 10. Of course, since this boiling water HW was boiled in a nearly trapped state, it does not mix with the low temperature water and is a uniform temperature HW.

FIG. 2B shows a state in which the hot water HW sent upward through the molten metal pipe 10 is stored in the upper part of the uppermost hot water storage tank 83. That is, when the hot water HW in the heating section 9a of the heating tank 9 is sent to the upper part of the uppermost hot water storage tank 83 through the inside of the molten metal guiding tube 10, the water W in the hot water storage section 9b.
Passes through the water supply passage 36 and enters the heating portion 9a from below. In the hot water storage section 9b, the water W in the lowermost hot water storage tank 81 is a water conduit.
After passing through 39, the water in the hot water storage tank 82 is linked to the bottom hot water storage tank 81, and the water in the top hot water storage tank 83 is linked to the hot water storage tank 82 via the communication pipe 37. And enter. When the heating section 9a is filled with water W, the on-off valve 11 feels a low temperature and closes, so that the heating section 9a is almost sealed again and heated by the heater 5. After that, when the above heating and hot water feeding are repeated, the hot water HW can be intermittently stored in the hot water storage tanks 83 to 81 from above. This state is shown in FIG. Reference numerals a, b, c and d are hot water HW stored in order. Eventually, hot water HW is intermittently stored in the hot water storage tanks 83 to 81 from above, and the hot water storage tanks 83 to 81 are stored.
Hot water HW is stored in all of the hot water storage section 9b.

FIG. 3 (D) is an explanatory view of the hot water supply action.
When 16 is opened and hot water is taken out, the hot water is taken out from the upper part of the hot water storage tank 83, and the water W is supplied from the water supply pipe 13 below the hot water storage part 9b of the heating tank 9. At this time, if hot water is also stored in the hot water storage portion 9b, the water W pushes up the hot water in the hot water storage portion 9b, and the hot water in the hot water storage portion 9b pushes the hot water in the hot water storage tank 81 through the water conduit 39. Hot water storage tank 81
The hot water HW therein pushes up the hot water in the hot water storage tank 82 through the communication pipe 37, and the hot water HW in the hot water storage tank 83 pushes out to the hot water tap 16 through the hot water supply pipe 15 in a linked manner. On the other hand, when the hot water in the heating portion 9a of the heating tank 9 is sufficiently hot, the opening / closing valve 11
Is closed, the water W that has entered the hot water storage portion 9b from the water supply pipe 13 enters the lower portion of the heating portion 9a through the water supply passage 36,
Hot water in the heating unit 9a is pushed out through the open / close valve 11 into the hot water pipe 10 and then through the hot water supply pipe 15 to the hot water tap 16. The heating unit
When the inside of 9a is filled with water W, the on-off valve 11 senses the low temperature and closes, so this action is stopped and only the above-mentioned action is continued. In addition, the water W entering from the water supply pipe 13 is
Since there is a density difference (specific gravity difference) between the hot water in 9b or the hot water in the heating section 9a, they are kept in a separated state without being mixed with each other. As mentioned above, the hot water HW is the hot water storage tank 83 ~
The hot water is stored from above 81 and is taken out from above when the hot water HW is taken out, so that hot water can always be supplied instantaneously, and even if the hot water is exhausted, it can be heated with only a small amount of water W in the heating section 9a.
Since HW can be extracted, it has an advantage that hot water can be supplied in an extremely short time.

In the present embodiment, the hot water stored in the hot water HW is 4
Since the tanks are divided into the book tanks 9 and 81 to 83, the diameter of each tank is small, and since they are arranged vertically, there is an advantage that the installation space is small. As described above, by freely selecting the number, diameter, and length of the hot water storage tanks and changing the installation area of the electric water heater, the restrictions on the installation location can be greatly flexible.

In the above electric water heater, the hot water pipe 10 may pass through the outside of the hot water storage tanks 81 to 83 or may pass through the inside thereof, and anyway, hot water is sent to the upper part of the uppermost hot water storage tank 83. I wish I could send it. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the pipe 10 may be passed through the communication pipe 37 that connects the hot water storage tanks 81 and 82 and the hot water storage tanks 82 and 83. In this case, the rectifier 12 may be attached by penetrating the molten metal pipe 10. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the guide pipe 10 may be attached by penetrating the side walls of the hot water storage tanks 81 to 83, and in this case, the communication pipe 37 is connected to the guide pipe 37.
It will be installed in another place. In the embodiments of FIGS. 4 to 5, the rest of the configuration is the same as that of the embodiment of FIG. 1 except for the installation location of the hot water pipe 10. Therefore, hot water can be stored and hot water can be supplied in a short time. Since the thickness of the container is also thin, there is an advantage that the installation place is not restricted.

(Embodiment of Second Invention [Invention of Claim 3])
FIG. 6 is a sectional view of an embodiment of the second invention, and FIGS. 7 to 8 are sectional views of other embodiments. In each of the embodiments of the second invention, the heating tank 9 is not divided by the partition plate 35, and normally a tank smaller than the hot water storage tanks 81 to 83 is used in order to shorten the boiling time. The heating tank 9 and the water pipe are connected by the water supply pipe 13, while the heating tank 9 and the lowermost hot water storage tank 81 are connected by the water conduit 7. Therefore, when the hot water HW boiled in the heating tank 9 is sent to the uppermost hot water storage tank 83, the water in the lowermost hot water storage tank 81 passes through the water conduit 7 into the heating tank 9. The water W is sent to the hot water storage tank 82 through the communication pipe 37 into the hot water storage tank 81, and the water W in the hot water storage tank 83 is sequentially sent to the hot water storage tank 82.

Also in the second invention, the pipe 10 may pass through the hot water storage tanks 81 to 83 or through the hot water storage tanks 81 to 83. Anyway, the hot water is placed on the uppermost hot water storage tank 83. I wish I could send it to you. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, the pipe 10 may be passed through the communication pipe 37 that connects the hot water storage tanks 81 and 82 and the hot water storage tanks 82 and 83. In this case, the rectifier
12 may be attached by penetrating the pipe 10. Also, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the molten metal guiding tank 10 may be attached by penetrating the side walls of the hot water storage tanks 81 to 83. In this case, the communication pipe 37 is provided at a place different from the molten metal guiding pipe 10.

(Other Embodiments of First and Second Inventions) In each embodiment of the present invention, the hot water storage tanks 81 to 83 are preferably inclined as shown in FIG. In other words, when hot water is stored,
By setting the hot water inflow side to be high and the water outflow side to be low, the hot water can be taken out without leaving it in the hot water storage tanks 81 to 83 when hot water is supplied.
This is because when the water in 83 is sent to the heating tank 9, the water can be taken in without leaving. In the case of tilting in this way, an angle of about 2 degrees is sufficient.

The partition plate 35 in the first aspect of the invention and the molten metal pipe penetrating the hot water storage tanks 81 to 83 in the first and second aspects of the invention.
10. It is preferable that the water pipe 7 passing through the heating tank 9 has a heat insulating structure. To create a heat insulating structure, a material with poor heat conductivity may be attached to one or both sides of the partition plate 35, the hot water pipe 10 and the water pipe 7, or a material with poor heat conductivity may be sandwiched between metal plates, A partition plate 35 or conduit tube made of a material with poor conductivity.
10. There are methods such as producing the water conduit 7, and examples of materials having poor thermal conductivity include urethane, ceramics, silicon, and the like, and there is also a heat insulating structure in which an air layer is interposed. In the case of heat insulation by the above method, the heat of the hot water boiled in the heating unit 9a is less likely to be taken by the water in the hot water storage unit 9b, and the heat of the hot water in the pipe 10 is the surrounding water. Since it is not taken away by the water, there is an advantage that it can be boiled into hot water efficiently and stored.

Next, the amount increasing method of the present invention will be described. After installing the electric water heater of the present invention, it may be desired to increase its hot water storage capacity. For example, even in household electric water heaters, the amount of hot water used may increase due to an increase in the number of families, the growth of children, changes in life rhythm, etc. In that case, the hot water storage capacity of 370 liters (for a family of four) is insufficient, There are cases where you want to change to a liter or 450 liter one. If the conventional hot water storage tank is a single electric water heater, the entire electric water heater must be replaced. However, doing so is uneconomical, and sometimes it cannot be installed if it is changed to a large capacity hot water storage tank. However, the increase method of the present invention has the advantages that the construction is simple and the installation location is not restricted.
