And, as shown in Figure 2 shown in Figure 5, the fireplace is installed in the living room and the like, the boiler 45 connected with the fireplace through the heating pipe 46, the heating pipe 46 is installed in the middle of each room Distributor 43 for circulating the water to the individual pipe, the temperature sensor 40 is installed in the heating pipe 46 of the fireplace to detect the temperature of the water, and installed on one side of the heating pipe 46 and the temperature sensor A circulation motor 42 which is turned on / off according to the sensed temperature of 40 to forcibly circulate or stops the water in the heating pipe 46, and is installed in the heating pipe 46 on the fireplace side and flows into the fireplace side. Fireplace-side ball valve 41 for opening and closing the outflow water, and the boiler-side ball valve 44 is installed in the heating pipe 46 of the boiler 45 side to open and close the water flowing in / out of the boiler 45 side It consists of

When the fireplace and the boiler 45 are operated together by this configuration, the circulation motor 42 installed on the heating pipe 46 is operated together to circulate the water therein while the water tank 20 and the boiler of each fireplace ( 45) is heated.

At this time, the water tank 20 receives the heat generated in the firebox 18 in the center of the fireplace to heat the water stored therein, in particular, the cylindrical installed in each extending to protrude upward, downward, left and right of the water tank 20 Through the upper water pipe 21 and the lower water pipe 22 of the heating efficiency is further increased.

The heated water is introduced or discharged into the heating pipe 46 through the upper pipe connection part and the lower pipe connection part formed at the upper and lower sides of the water tank 20, and the high temperature to the individual pipes in each room through the distributor 43. The water is circulated to perform heating. In addition, by heating the water in the well-known boiler 45 inside or out of the heating pipe 46, the energy is efficiently used, and the floor heating and the heating of the indoor air are simultaneously performed.

< First embodiment >

As shown in Figure 3, the hot water supply device of the fireplace of the present invention and the water tank 110 is installed on the outer surface of the rear plate of the fireplace; A circulation motor 120 installed in a pipe of the water tank to circulate hot water; And a distributor 130 for distributing hot water by the circulation motor to floor heating and household water, while a water level sensor 140 installed in the water tank 110, an electric heating element 150, and an auxiliary water tank. 160, and a temperature sensor 170 is further provided.

The water level sensor 140 of the water tank 110 is a device for detecting the lack of water or full water (상기 水) of the water tank 110, the water that may be generated by the lack of water by the water level sensor 140. Prevention of overheating of the tank 110 and other safety accidents can be prevented in advance.

In addition, when the water level is reached, that is, when the appropriate level is reached, the controller 180 stops the water supply to the water tank 110 by the detection signal of the water level sensor 140, and when the water gradually decreases to reach a certain level The water shortage detection signal is sent to the controller 180 so that the controller 180 supplies water. Specifically, the water supply and the water supply are performed by opening and closing the valve 161 installed in the connection pipe of the auxiliary water tank 160 and the water tank 110 and controlled by the controller 180.

The electric heating element 150 is a device for heating the water of the water tank 110 together with the fireplace 210 or separately from the fireplace 210, the heating element (Kanthal) Co., Ltd. (Heating Elements) Preferred heaters are preferred.

The auxiliary water tank 160 is the water tank by the control device 180 for receiving a water shortage or full water detection signal of the water level sensor 140 when the water tank 110 is low or full water (water). It is a device for supplying water or cutting water to 110.

Of course, the water tank 110 may be directly connected to the water pipe without using the auxiliary water tank 160, but to prepare for the water shortage. If the water shortage occurs due to the frequent use of domestic water for consumption rather than indoor floor heating by operating the hot water supply device of the present invention when the tap water is shortened, as described above, overheating of the water tank and other safety accidents may occur. This auxiliary water tank 160 is useful.

In addition, the water level sensor 141 for detecting the water shortage in the auxiliary water tank 160 so as to stop the operation of the hot water supply device of the present invention when the water of the auxiliary water tank 160, which was already filled when the tap water is short. Is installed, and the control device 180 is configured to operate the alarm 190 by the water shortage detection signal of the water level sensor 141. The alarm 190 includes an alarm horn ringing a siren and an alarm lamp that is blinking or lit.

Like the water tank 110, the auxiliary water tank 160 detects the full water level, so that the controller 180 can stop water supply to the auxiliary water tank 160 and the water level is reduced to a certain level. The function of watering again is the same. And the valve installed in the water pipe to proceed with the water supply and the water is not shown in detail.

The auxiliary water tank 160 and the water level sensor 141 are not applied only when the fireplace 210 or the electric heating element 150 is operated, and always maintain a proper level even when not in operation so that the fireplace or the electric heating element is maintained. This is a very useful component that ensures safe operation during initial start-up.

The temperature sensor 170 is a device for detecting the water temperature of the water tank 110, the heating of the water by the fireplace 210 or the electric heating element 150 (when not using the fireplace) and the simultaneous heating of water by the fireplace and the electric heating element. In the case of heating (initial rapid heating), the water temperature detection signal is sent to the control device 180 when the proper water temperature of water, for example 50 ° C., and the control device 180 causes the circulation motor 120 to use only the fireplace. In order to proceed with the operation of the hot water flows into the pipe, and if you do not use the fireplace 210 but needs hot water as indoor floor heating and consumer water for the electric heating element (150) electric heating element (150) In this case, when the electric heating element 150 is used, the controller 180 causes the operation of the electric heating element 150 to be stopped, and the operation of the circulation motor 120 proceeds to the hot water. Duct with piping Let's do it. That is, the circulation motor 120 is operated at the same temperature (the above 50 ° C.) and the operation of the electric heating element 150 is stopped.

When using the fireplace 210 or the electric heating element 150 and at the same time using the fireplace 210 and the electric heating element 150, when the water temperature is lowered below the 50 ℃, the controller 180 operates the electric heating element 150. To maintain an appropriate water temperature (50 ° C). In particular, when the combustion heat is lowered when using the fireplace to operate the electric heating element 150 is to maintain a constant water temperature at all times.

The temperature may be installed at a temperature sensor suitable for the temperature in consideration of the appropriate temperature during manufacturing, but is not limited to 50 ℃.

On the other hand, the water tank 110 of the hot water supply device of the fireplace according to the present invention having the configuration as described above, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the combustion cylinder 240 in the firebox 220 of the fireplace 210. Communicating with the air chamber 230 and spaced apart from the bottom plate and the rear plate of the fire chamber 220, the air chamber 230 is installed, and is installed on the outer surface of the thick plate having a space portion 250 between the air chamber 230 do.

In this configuration, when the fireplace 210 is heated, the combustion heat generated in the fire chamber 220 is transferred to the air chamber 230 and heated, while passing through the bottom of the air chamber 230 to separate the space 250. The thick plate is heated by the heat of combustion flowing into the plate, and the thick plate space of the air chamber 230 keeps hot air continuously in the narrow spaced space 250 by the inlet heat and the inlet heat. It's losing. Accordingly, the heating rate of the water tank 110 is further increased by the combustion heat of the fireplace 210.

Reference numeral 260 is a blower, which is a component for heating the room by blowing high temperature air in the air chamber 230 to the room.

When the fireplace 210 is heated by the technical construction as described above, the heat of combustion of the firebox 220 heats the air chamber 230, and also flows into the spaced space 250 to rapidly heat the rear plate of the firebox 220. As a result, the heat of the thick plate is transferred to the water of the water tank 110, so that the water temperature of the water rises.

When the water temperature of the water reaches 50 ° C., for example, the temperature sensor 170 sends a water temperature detection signal to the controller 180, and the controller 180 operates the circulation motor 120 to pipe the hot water. It is sent to the distributor 130 through. By using a distributor, hot water can be utilized as indoor floor heating water and domestic water for consumption in bathrooms and kitchens.

When the fireplace 210 is not used, there is a need for operating the electric heating element 150 or the initial high temperature so that the electric heating element 150 together with the fireplace 210 may be operated at the same time. At this time, when the water temperature of the water is 50 ° C, for example, the controller 180 stops the operation of the electric heating element 150 for electric saving, and operates the circulation motor 120 to allow hot water to flow into the pipe. When the water temperature decreases due to the lack of combustion heat of the fireplace 210 and the shutdown of the electric heating element 150, the controller 180 operates the electric heating element 150 so that the water temperature of the water tank 110 is always appropriate. To keep).

As such, when the hot water supply device supplies hot water and the water is insufficient, the water level sensor 140 detects the signal and sends the detection signal to the control device 180. The control device 180 supplies the auxiliary water tank 160. The valve 161 is opened to fill the shortage of the water tank 110, and when the water in the water tank 110 becomes full water at an appropriate level, the detection signal of the water level sensor 140 is controlled. ), And the controller 180 closes the valve 161 of the auxiliary water tank 110.

In addition, when a specific situation such as the number of tap water occurs in the auxiliary water tank 160 connected to the water pipe and the water filled in the auxiliary water tank 160 is insufficient, the detection signal of the water level sensor 141 is a control device. The control unit 180 is notified to the user through the alarm device 190 is sent to (180). That is, the alarm siren and the alarm lamp are notified by hearing or time through the lighting or blinking.

This allows the user to refrain from using household water for consumption in bathrooms and kitchens, and to refrain from using the fireplace 210 and the electric heating element 150.

< Second embodiment >

As shown in Figure 4, the hot water supply device of the fireplace of the present invention and the water tank 110 is installed on the outer surface of the back plate of the fireplace; A circulation motor 120 installed in a pipe of the water tank to circulate hot water; A temperature sensor 171 installed in the pipe to sense a water temperature flowing through the pipe to operate the circulation motor; And a distributor 130 for distributing hot water by the circulation motor to indoor floor heating and domestic water for consumption, while a water level sensor 140 and an electric heating element 150 installed in the water tank 110. The auxiliary water tank 160, and the temperature sensor 170 is characterized in that it is further provided.

Unlike the first embodiment, the second embodiment of the present invention is characterized by having two temperature sensors. One temperature sensor 171 is for operating the circulation motor 120 and the other one. The temperature sensor 170 is for stopping the operation of the electric heating element 150.

That is, when the water temperature of the water tank 110 is 48 ° C., for example, the temperature sensor 171 installed in the pipe sends a detection signal to the control device 180 to operate the circulation motor 120 to flow hot water into the pipe. When the electric heating element is used in the state of not using or using the fireplace 210, for example, when the temperature reaches 50 ° C., the temperature sensor 170 installed in the water tank 110 sends a detection signal to the control device 180. The operation of the electric heating element 120 is stopped.

The reason for using two temperature sensors is to operate the circulation motor 120 by the temperature sensor 171 installed in the pipe at a low temperature (48 ℃) to continue to flow hot water to the distributor 130 through the pipe in advance. The rising water temperature is quickly applied to the indoor floor heating water and consumer water through the distributor 130, and when the appropriate temperature (50 ℃), by the temperature sensor 170 installed in the water tank 110, the electric heating element ( 150) to shut down.

The low temperature should be installed at a temperature sensor suitable for the temperature in consideration of the appropriate temperature during manufacturing, but is not limited to 48 ℃. The same is true for high temperatures.

The functions, roles and operations of the remaining components other than the above-described temperature sensor are the same as described in the first embodiment.

According to the technical configuration of the present invention as described above, it is possible to provide a hot water supply device using a fireplace at a minimum cost to consumers because it can fully exhibit the function of the boiler by using only a water tank, unlike the conventional.
