201213641 六、發明說明： 【發明所屬之技術領域】 [0001] 本發明係關於一用於分配熱水或沸水的設備。 【先前技術】 [0002] 這一類設備首先在NL-A-71 1 2368中敘述，其在英國相當 於具有GB-A-1 373990的編號。此設備之一進一步的發展 在ΕΡ-Β-0 467 480中敘述。在該專利說明書中所述的設 備設有一隔熱貯槽，其對貯槽内部盛行的過量壓力具抗 性。該貯槽設有一鄰接該貯槽底面的供應導管，其係針 對至公共給水系統的連接所設計，當使用時，一旦使熱 水或沸水從該貯槽流出，冷自來水便從公共給水系統經 由供應導管供應給該貯槽。該貯槽進一步具有一鄰接該 貯槽上端側的排放導管，在使用上，熱水或沸水可從該 貯槽經由排放導管流出。在該貯槽中，包括一電加熱元 件。一流出管係經由至該排放導管的流體通訊所連接。 進一步地，設置一閥。如在該專利說明書中所陳述的， 該閥可設有一彈簧偏壓閥構件，以便在遭遇緊急情況時 ，其可用作一安全措施。這一類的閥該如何設計並未在 此專利說明書中敘述。同樣未敘述其是為何種類型的緊 急情況所準備。與上述無關的，在該專利說明書中陳述 該閥可電動操作。在該專利說明書中亦未敘述該如何使 其實現。 [0003] 實際上，這一類具有電動操作閥之用於分配沸水的設備 並未在市場上銷售，且亦證明在分配沸水之困難情況下 要提供以可靠方式保持運轉的可靠設備並不容易。 100108233 表單編號A0101 第4頁/共31頁 1003204832-0 201213641 [0004] 在市場上以品牌名稱Quooker®銷售之peterj B V公司 的設備設有手動操作的閥，更具體的是操作如習知之設 有旋鈕之自來水龍頭的閥，雖然其設有安全措施。為了 - 旋轉從而開啟’該安全措施需要將旋鈕壓入彈簧偏壓。 以此方式，料想设计為龍頭的閥僅可透過刻意的操作來 開啟，亦即，同時壓入並旋轉龍頭旋鈕。此安全措施亦 在EP0792970 _敘述。使用實際上銷售的Qu〇〇kers，該 貯槽之過量壓力的安全措施係在所謂的入口組合上提供 。該入口組合為一組件，其具有若干位於該貯槽之入口 〇 上游的連接耦接器與閥。如果在該貯槽中產生高於一特 定值的過量壓力，則藉由該入口組合來降低該貯槽中的

其鄰接該貯槽底面，且係針對至該公共給水系統的連接 所設計，當使用時，一旦使熱水或沸水從該貯槽流出， 冷自來水便從該公共給水系統經由該供應導管供應給該 貯槽；及一排放導管，其鄰接該貯槽上端側，在使用上 ，熱水或沸水可從該貯槽經由該排放導管流出；一電加 熱元件，其配置在該貯槽中；一流出管，其係經由至該 100108233 表單編號A0101 第5頁/共31頁 1003204832-0 201213641 排放導管之一流體通訊所連接；一閥，其係内含在該流 體通訊中，該閥設有；一閥主體；一入口，其連接至該 流體通訊之一上游零件；一出口，其連接至該流體通訊 之一下游零件；一閥座；及一安排為可移動的閥構件， 其位於一閉合位置中，並以一閉合力壓在該閥座上；一 致動器，其在操作狀態下於該閥構件上施加一與該閉合 力方向相反的舉升力，以致該閥構件從該閥座上升起； 一内部流體通訊，其位於該閥主體中，並將該入口連接 至該出口，且可藉由該閥構件密封；其中該閥的配置及 其至該流體通訊的連接致使盛行於該貯槽中之一過量壓 力在該閥構件上施加一與該閉合力方向相反的力，而當 盛行於該貯槽中之一過量壓力達到一定限值時，該閉合 力致使從該閉合位置按壓該閥構件；及一操作元件，為 了將該閥構件分別帶入一開啟及該閉合位置的目的，該 操作元件係用於將該致動器帶入操作狀態及非操作狀態 〇 [0007] 由於該閥構件既用於在使用者需要沸水時以一正規方式 開啟該閥，又允許在給定一特定定限值且該貯槽中之一 過量壓力太高的情況下逆著該閉合力動作開啟該閥，茲 提供一以一正規方式啟動的過量壓力安全措施。尤其在 彿水的情況下，由於彿水導致水垢沈積，此為一重要的 實施態樣。與沸水接觸且非正規移動的過量壓力安全措 施承擔由於水垢沈積而堵塞的風險，以致在需要其價值 的情況下，亦即，在貯槽中盛行的過量壓力超過一特定 定限值的情況下，其不再有效。在使用例如電磁閥之閥 100108233 表單編號A0101 第6頁/共31頁 1003204832-0 201213641 的液壓系統中，通常將這些閥包含在一管系統中，以致 相反地’盛行於電磁閥之上游管部分中的壓力將閥按壓 在閉合位置中。反之，使用根據本發明的設備連接此閥 ’使得上游管部分中的壓力與閉合力的方向相反，以致 個別的壓力傾向於開啟該閥。僅是因為在正常情況下存 在閉合力而使閥保持閉合。當在該貯槽中超過過量壓力 之一特定定限值時，則從該閉合位置按壓該閥構件。因 此，該電磁閥具有使用功能及安全功能兩者，就使用功 能的意義而言，使用者使用該閥控制沸水分配，就安全 功能的意義而言，亦使用該完全相同的閥（更具體地，該 完全相同的主體）提供一過量壓力安全措施。因此，可使 用最少零件來實現操作及過量壓力安全措施兩者。一額 外優點在於遭逢過量壓力時，在其中安排該設備的該水 槽樞中最終不會留下蒸減水，但蒸氣及水會經由該出 口管排放至該水槽1果是防止蒸氣釋放至該水槽樞中 。由於對正常使用及對過量壓力安全措施而言，均使用 該相同的閥主體，其因此以一正蜆方式，亦即，隨著每 一次使用，開啟及閉合，該安全措施為可靠而耐用的。

.· 向下延伸部分橫斷一路徑。 [0013] 由於冷水比熱水重的事實，冷卻下來的水將聚集在該管 之該向下延伸的零件中。由於熱對流之故，傾向於從該 貯槽上升的熱水將因此上升至該管的頂部，但在該位置 Ο 無法進一步流入該管。因此，可防止沸水與該閥連續接 觸，更具體地，可防止沸水與該閥構件及該閥座連續接 觸。通常設計為撓性之緊靠該闕座的該閥構件零件每次 因而僅與沸水接觸極短時間，且較大部分的剩餘時間是 與溫度低得多的水接觸。此在閥的耐用性上具有特別良 好的效應。此外，由於供應導管的這種設計，至閥之閥 主體的熱傳遞將明顯受限。因此，僅最少量的熱可經由 Γ 閥主體散失至周圍環境。 [0014] 為了更進一步減少至該閥的熱輸送，在一實施例中，該 管可包括一塑膠管零件。塑膠為不良熱導體，且因此至 該閥主體之最少的熱傳遞亦將經由該管發生。此外，當 以不鏽鋼製造該閥主體時，該設備的能量輸出甚至可獲 得更大改善。不鏽鋼為特別不良的熱導體，且在與熱水 仍有接觸的程度上，此僅牵涉該閥構件的一端，而該閥 構件之其餘部分的加熱及至周圍環境的熱傳遞將僅發生 在非常有限的範圍内。 100108233 表單編號A0101 第9頁/共31頁 1003204832-0 201213641 [0015] 本發明之進一步的加工在附屬的專利申請範圍之内敘述 ，並將進一步以一參照圖式的示範性實施例為基礎在下 文闡明。 【實施方式】 [0016] 圖中概略顯示的示範性實施例僅作為範例且僅作為進一 步的說明。示範性實施例包括隔熱貯槽10，其對貯槽10 内部盛行之一過量壓力具抗性。貯槽10設有供應導管12 ，其鄰接貯槽10的底面。供應導管12係針對至公共給水 系統14的連接所設計。在使用上，一旦使熱水或沸水從 貯槽10流出，冷自來水便從公共給水系統經由供應導管 12供應給貯槽10。貯槽10進一步設有排放導管16，其鄰 接貯槽10的上端側。在使用上，熱水或沸水可從貯槽10 經由排放導管16流出。在貯槽10中安排有電加熱元件18 。透過對電加熱元件18的適當控制，可使貯槽10中的水 溫保持在高於大氣沸點。該設備進一步設有出口管20， 其經由流體通訊包含一上游零件22、一内部流體通訊24, 24’及一下游零件26連接至貯槽10的排放導管16。一般 而言，出口管將具有一流出端，其位於一水槽或類似排 水口的上方。較佳的是出口管20可在枢軸上轉動且高度 可調整。因此，當具有不同高度的平底鍋和杯子位在櫃 檯上或水槽中時，可在沸水不溢出的情況下裝滿它們。 [0017] 該設備進一步包括内含在流體通訊22、24、24’ 、26中 的閥 28、28’ 。 [0018] 閥 28、28’ 設有閥主體 30、32、30’ 、32’ 。閥 28、 28’ ，更具體的是其閥主體30、32、30’ 、32’ ，設有 100108233 表單編號A0101 第10頁/共31頁 1003204832-0 201213641 連接至流體通訊之上游零件22的入口 34、34’ 。閥28、 Ο 28’的出口36、36’係連接至流體通訊的下游零件26。 閥28、28’進一步設有閥座38、38’及安排為可移動的 閥構件40、40’ ’其在閉合位置上是以一特定的閉合力 壓在閥座38、38’上。閥28、28’進一步包括致動器42 、42，，其在操作狀態（亦即，相當於開啟龍頭的狀態） 下會在闕構件40、40’上施加一與閉合力方向相反的舉 升力，以致閥構件40、40’從閥座38、38’升起。閥28 、28，進一步包括内部流體通訊24、24，，其將入口 34 、34’連接至出口 36、36’ ’並可藉由閥構件4〇、40， 密封。閥28、28’的配置及其至流體通訊，具體的說， 即流體通訊中的上游零件22與下游零件26的連接致使盛 行於貯槽10的過量塵力在閥構件40、40’上施加一與閉 合力方向相反的力。當盛行於貯槽10中的過量壓力達到 一定限值時’閉合力致使閥構件4 0、4 0 ’從閉合位置按 壓。該設備進一步設有操作元件6 8.，為了 .將閥構件4 〇、 4 0 ’分別帶入開啟及封閉位置的目的，.操作元件6 8係用 於將致動器42、42’帶入操作狀態及非操作狀態。 [0019] 一如此設計之用於分配沸水的設備是可靠而耐用的，原 因在於相同的閥構件40、40’既在分配沸水時用於正常 使用，且亦用於過量壓力保護。因為在盛行於貯槽10中 之過量壓力超過一特疋定限值時開啟的相同閥構件4〇、 40，亦在每次正常使用時開啟，因此幾乎排除由於例如 水垢沈積而使過量壓力安全措施不再有效的風險。因此 ，使用本設備能防止由於停用及可選擇的水垢形成或之 100108233 表單編號Α0101 第11頁/共31頁 1003204832-0 201213641 類而導致作為過量壓力安全措施的閥主體堵塞。另一優 點在於當盛行於貯槽中的過量歷力高於一特定定限值時 ，過量壓力狀態下的蒸氣及/或水係經由出口管分配至周 圍環境。因此’一般而言，水最終將位於水槽或類似的 排水口中，且不會有蒸氣釋放裘通常將貯槽10配置於其 中的水槽櫃中。尚有另—優點在於僅有一移動零件，亦 即，閥構件4〇、40’ 。結果，該設備可以節約的方式製 造，此外，唯一一個移動零件有利於可靠的操作。 [0020] [0021] 由於盛行於貯槽1〇中之過量壓力而使閥構件4〇、4〇，逆 著閉合力從閥座38、38，升起的上述定限值可位於例如2 至11巴的範圍内。換言之，一絕對壓力位於3至12巴的範 圍内。使用位於此範圍内的定限值導致存在貯槽中的 水可保持在超大氣壓力，以便其溫度可保持高於大氣沸 點而不使貯槽中的水弗騰。當使用者希望汲取彿水 ，則使用操作it件68操作閥28、28’，以便操作亦即 ’致動’致動器42、42’，並使閥構件4〇、4〇，從閥座 38、38升起。流出的水將開始沸騰，同時由於暴露至 大氣壓力而非過量壓力的事實而流出。 現在，將參照第2圖進一步詳述閥28的電磁設計。在一實 施例中（其一範例示於第2圖），閥構件4〇可設計為一活塞 ，在其一知上具有撓性材料的密封構件52。在閥構件40 的閉合位置上，密封構件5 2緊靠閥座3 8。撓性材料在電 磁閥28中提供流體通訊24的可靠密封。在電磁閥28之一 實施例中’閉合力可藉由置於偏壓下的彈簧44來產生。 此實施例之一範例示於第2圖。為了形成小型化的電磁閥 100108233 表單編號A0101 第12頁/共31頁 1003204832-0 201213641 ，有利的是為了形成可將彈簧44包含在其中的彈簧腔室 54而將活塞設計為中空。此處，彈簧44的一端緊靠定界 彈簧腔室54之活塞的内部壁，且經由一伸出活塞的聯接 軸使一第二端壓在一部分的閥主體30 ' 32上。當閥構件 40位於閉合位置時，彈簧第一端緊靠的活塞内部壁及彈 簧44之第二端壓在其上的該部分閥主體30、32間的距離 為一給定值。使用此給定值，彈晉44的尺寸標註決定盛 行於貯槽10中之過量壓力使閥構件40從閥座38升起的定 限值。在一實施例中，除密封構件52之外，活塞形的閥 構件40可完全由鐵磁性材料製成。不過，部分的活塞亦 可由不同材料構成，且包括例如鐵磁性失套。 [0022] 在一實施例中，閥主體30、32可設有線圈主體零件30， 其具有由電線圈42環繞的閥構件腔室56。閥主體30、32 可進一步包括連接主體零件32，其包含入口 34及出口 36 與閥座38。此處，連接主體零件32可例如憑藉螺紋或憑 藉卡口耦合而耦合至線圈主體零件30。藉由以此方式從 兩個主體零件構成閥主體，其製造相對簡單。在所示的 示範性實施例中，將電線圈42附接在線圈主體零件30上 ，因為其係夾鉗在線圈主體零件30上之肩部72及夾環74 之間，並藉助螺帽76將夾環74壓在線圈上。螺帽76與設 在線圈主體零件30上的螺紋零件78嚙合。 [0023] 第3圖顯示閥28’之一示範性替代實施例。在此實施例中 ，將閥的致動器42’設計為電馬達42’ 。電馬達42’可 為例如步進馬達或伺服馬達，其設有轉子及定子（未顯示 )。在所示的範例中，電馬達4 2 ’設有整合傳動裝置（未 100108233 表單編號A0101 第13頁/共31頁 1003204832-0 201213641 顯示），其將轉子的旋轉轉換為馬達42’之轴80’的軸向 運動。軸80’係連接至閥構件40’並具有間隙，以致當 盛行於貯槽10中的過量壓力高於上述定限值時，由於盛 行的過量壓力且由於活塞40’及軸80’之間可用的間隙 ，閥構件40’可在非操作狀態下從閥座38’以電馬達42 ’按壓。當電馬達42’處於操作狀態時，可將軸80’帶 入閥構件40’從閥座38逆著閉合力升起的位置。在第3圖 所示的示範性實施例中，軸80’的位置為沿軸向縮回的 位置。恰如第2圖所示的示範性實施例，閥構件40’可設 計為活塞，且在其前端上具有撓性材料的密封構件52’ 。當閥構件40’位於閉合位置時，密封構件52’緊靠閥 座38’ 。撓性材料在閥28’中提供流體通訊24’的可靠 密封。同樣在此實施例中，施加在閥構件40’上的閉合 力可藉由置於偏壓下的彈簧44來產生。 [0024] 在其一範例示於第3圖之一實施例中，閥主體30， 、32’ 可設有電馬達懸吊零件30’及連接主體零件32’ ，其包 括入口 34’及出口 36’和閥座38’ 。連接主體零件32’ 係耦合至電馬達懸吊零件30’ 。 [0025] 對其範例分別示於第2圖及第3圖的兩個實施例而言，咸 認為連接主體零件32、32’可設有中心孔58、58’ ，其 具有形成入口 34、34’之一第一端及由閥座38、38’環 繞之一第二端。連接主體零件32、32’進一步設有連接 腔室60、60’ ，中心孔58、58’在其中終止於第二端， 且閥座38、38’位於其中，且處於閉合位置的閥構件40 、40’至少部分地在其中延伸。連接主體零件32、32’ 100108233 表單編號A0101 第14頁/共31頁 1003204832-0 201213641 進一步設有第二孔62、62’ ，其本質上垂直中心孔58、 58’延伸，且其具有形成出口 36、36’之一第一端及終 止於連接腔室60、60’中之一第二端。對這一類實施例 而言，咸認為尤其在將致動器設計為電磁線圈4 2時，閥 28僅具有一移動零件，且因此為相對簡單的構造，其大 大地增強閥28的可靠度及耐用性。 [0026] 根據一進一步的加工（其一範例示於第2圖及第3圖這兩圖 中），設計為活塞的閥構件40、40’具有中心縱軸L，活 塞可安排為沿中心縱軸L移動，且閥座38、38’在垂直中 心縱軸L之一平面中延伸。以此配置，盛行於貯槽10中的 過量壓力10在活塞上施加一力，該力與彈簧44、44’所 施加的閉合力方向相反。中心孔58可具有一與中心縱軸L 重合的中心縱軸，設計為活塞的閥構件40、40’沿此軸 安排為可移動。 [0027] 具有電馬達42’之閥28’的實施例（其一範例示於第3圖） 可設有耦合零件82’ ，其連接電馬達42’的軸80’與設 計為活塞的閥構件40’ 。進一步地，可設置具有一中心 開口的薄膜84’ 。透過該中心開口到達電馬達42’的軸 80’ 。薄膜84’是水密的，並夾鉗在耦合零件82’與附 接至電馬達42’之軸80’的環或凸緣86’之間。薄膜84 ’設有一外侧圓周，其水密地連接至電馬達懸吊零件30 ，。進一步地，設置密封蓋88’ ，其與薄膜84’ 一起夾 鉗在連接主體32’及電馬達懸吊零件30’之間，且其在 連接主體32’與電馬達懸吊零件30’之間形成一水密密 封件。進一步地，設置置於偏壓下的彈簧44’ ，其位於 100108233 表單編號A0101 第15頁/共31頁 1003204832-0 201213641 連接腔室60’中。彈簧44’之一第一端緊靠一附接在活 塞中的定位環，而其一第二端緊靠密封蓋88’ 。在一實 施例中（其一範例示於第3圖），設計為活塞的閥構件40’ 可設有槽孔90’ ，其垂直活塞中心軸L延伸。耦合零件82 ’可設有橫向銷92’ ，其垂直活塞中心軸L延伸，且其内 含在槽孔90’中。橫向銷92’的直徑及槽孔90’的尺寸 彼此嚙合，以致提供上述間隙。當明白許多用於槽孔/橫 向銷連接的替代構造適於提供軸80’及閥構件40’之間 的軸向間隙。 [0028] 在其一範例示於第1圖之一實施例中，流體通訊22、24、 26的上游零件22可包括管46，其上游端48連接至貯槽10 的排放導管16。管46的下游端50連接至閥28、28’的入 口 34、34’ 。此處，從上游端48往下游端50觀看，管46 可接連以向上延伸部分46a、頂部46b及向下延伸部分 46c橫斷一路徑。由於流體通訊之上游零件22的這一類配 置，將防止沸水由於熱對流之故而連續饋送至閥2 8。事 實是冷水比熱水重，且其結果是熱水將透過熱對流流入 向下部分4 6 c，但憑藉相對冷的水而止於該處。此一重要 優點在於閥28，更具體的是撓性材料密封構件52、52’ ，並未連續與沸騰熱水接觸，其將顯著增加電磁閥28、 28’的耐用性。只在閥為了使用目的而開啟時，密封構 件52、52’才會與沸騰熱水接觸一段時間。在閥28、28 ’閉合之後，存在於向下延伸部分4 6 c的水將冷卻，且由 於熱對流流動而不再變熱。較佳的是與例如茶杯的容積 相比，由向下延伸部分46c所圈起的容積較小。由向下延 100108233 表單編號A0101 第16頁/共31頁 1003204832-0 201213641201213641 VI. Description of the Invention: [Technical Field to Which the Invention Is Applicable] [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus for dispensing hot water or boiling water. [Prior Art] [0002] This type of device is first described in NL-A-71 1 2368, which is equivalent to the number GB-A-1 373990 in the United Kingdom. A further development of this device is described in ΕΡ-Β-0 467 480. The apparatus described in this patent specification is provided with an insulated sump which is resistant to excessive pressure prevailing inside the sump. The sump is provided with a supply conduit adjacent to the bottom surface of the sump, which is designed for connection to a common water supply system. When used, once hot water or boiling water is allowed to flow out of the sump, cold tap water is supplied from the public water supply system via the supply conduit. Give the tank. The sump further has a discharge conduit adjacent the upper end side of the sump, from which hot water or boiling water can flow out through the discharge conduit. In the sump, an electric heating element is included. An outflow tube is connected via fluid communication to the discharge conduit. Further, a valve is provided. As stated in this patent specification, the valve can be provided with a spring biased valve member for use as a safety measure in the event of an emergency. How to design such a valve is not described in this patent specification. It is also not stated what type of emergency is being prepared. Regardless of the above, it is stated in the patent specification that the valve is electrically operable. How to make it possible is also not described in this patent specification. [0003] In fact, such devices for dispensing boiling water with electrically operated valves are not commercially available, and it has also proven to be difficult to provide reliable equipment that remains operational in a difficult manner in the case of dispensing boiling water. 100108233 Form No. A0101 Page 4 of 31 1003204832-0 201213641 [0004] The equipment of peterj BV, which is marketed under the brand name Quooker®, is equipped with a manually operated valve, more specifically an operation such as a conventional one. The knob of the tap faucet valve, although it is equipped with safety measures. In order to - rotate to open 'this safety measure requires pressing the knob into the spring bias. In this way, the valve that is intended to be designed as a faucet can only be opened by a deliberate operation, that is, simultaneously pressing and rotating the faucet knob. This safety measure is also described in EP0792970_. With the Qu销售kers actually sold, the safety measures for the excess pressure of the tank are provided on a so-called inlet combination. The inlet assembly is an assembly having a plurality of connection couplers and valves upstream of the inlet port of the sump. If an excess pressure above a particular value is produced in the sump, the pressure in the sump is reduced by the combination of inlets. The vapor can then be released into the sink cabinet. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0005] An apparatus for dispensing hot water or boiling water having an electric operation with a minimum of parts and which provides durable and reliable protection against excessive excessive pressure inside the sump is contemplated. [0006] According to a first embodiment of the present invention, Zeiss provides a device for dispensing hot water or boiling water, which is provided with: an insulated storage tank, which has an excessive pressure on one of the insects inside the storage tank Resistant 'the sump is provided with: a supply conduit adjacent to the bottom surface of the sump and designed for connection to the common water supply system, when used, once hot water or boiling water is allowed to flow out of the sump, cold tap water is The public water supply system is supplied to the storage tank via the supply conduit; and a discharge conduit adjacent to the upper end side of the storage tank, from which hot water or boiling water can flow out through the discharge conduit; an electric heating element, configured In the sump; a first-class outlet, which is connected via a fluid communication to one of the 100108233 Form No. A0101, page 5/31, 1003204832-0 201213641; a valve, which is contained in the fluid communication The valve is provided with a valve body, an inlet connected to an upstream component of the fluid communication, an outlet connected to a downstream component of the fluid communication, a valve seat, and an arrangement a movable valve member in a closed position and pressed against the valve seat by a closing force; an actuator that exerts a lifting force on the valve member opposite to the closing force in an operating state So that the valve member rises from the valve seat; an internal fluid communication is located in the valve body and connects the inlet to the outlet, and can be sealed by the valve member; wherein the valve is configured and The fluid communication connection causes an excess pressure prevailing in the sump to exert a force on the valve member opposite the direction of the closing force, and when one of the excess pressures prevailing in the sump reaches a certain limit, the closing Combining forces to press the valve member from the closed position; and an operating member for bringing the valve member into an open position and the closed position, the operating member being used to bring the actuator into an operational state Operating state 〇 [0007] Since the valve member is used both to open the valve in a regular manner when the user needs boiling water, and to allow a given limit value and one of the sump to be excessively pressurized too In the high case, the valve is opened against the closing force action, and an excessive pressure safety measure initiated in a regular manner is provided. Especially in the case of Foshui, this is an important embodiment because of the scale deposition caused by the Buddha water. Excessive pressure safety measures in contact with boiling water and irregular movements bear the risk of clogging due to scale deposits, so that where the value is required, ie where the excess pressure prevailing in the tank exceeds a certain limit, It is no longer valid. In hydraulic systems using valves such as solenoid valves 100108233, Form No. A0101, Page 6 / Total 31, 1003204832-0 201213641, these valves are typically included in a tube system such that they are instead prevalent in the upstream portion of the solenoid valve The pressure in the pressure presses the valve in the closed position. Conversely, the use of the apparatus according to the present invention to connect the valve' causes the pressure in the upstream tube portion to be opposite to the direction of the closing force such that the individual pressure tends to open the valve. The valve remains closed only because there is a closing force under normal conditions. When a certain limit value of the excess pressure is exceeded in the sump, the valve member is pressed from the closed position. Therefore, the solenoid valve has both a function of use and a function of safety. In the sense of using the function, the user uses the valve to control the boiling water distribution, and in the sense of the safety function, the identical valve is also used (more specifically , the identical body) provides an excessive pressure safety measure. Therefore, both the operation and the excess pressure safety measures can be achieved with a minimum of parts. An additional advantage is that in the event of excessive pressure, the water in the sink pivot in which the device is arranged will eventually not leave distilled water, but steam and water will be discharged to the water tank via the outlet pipe 1 to prevent vapor release to the sink pivot. in. Since the same valve body is used for normal use and for excessive pressure safety measures, it is therefore reliable and durable in a positive manner, that is, with each use, opening and closing. . In the embodiment - the valve may be a solenoid valve, wherein the arrangement is movable (four) - (4) magnetic (four) 'where the actuator of the valve is an electric coil that at least partially surrounds the valve The ferromagnetic material of the member, and in the operational state, exerts on the valve member a lift force opposite to the direction of the closing force such that the member rises from the valve seat. In an alternative embodiment, the actuator of the valve can be an electric motor, one of the electric motors being coupled to the valve member and having a gap such that when two 100108233 Form No. A0101 Page 7 of 31 1003204832-0 201213641 When the excess pressure above the above-mentioned limit value prevails in the sump, the valve member can be pressed from the valve seat in the state in which the electric horse is not operated due to the prevailing pressure and due to the available clearance And wherein in the state of the electric motor, the shaft is brought in a position in which the valve member is raised from the wide seat reverser closing force. [0012] [0012] 100108233 In an embodiment, the limit value may be in the range of 2 JU1 bar. To prevent the water from being maintained at the superatmospheric pressure τ in the storage tank, the superatmospheric pressure must prevail in the grooved towel. However, this pressure has risen too high. When the pressure reaches the above limit, the valve member will open against the closing force. This range above contains excess pressure compared to atmospheric pressure. Therefore, 'under absolute pressure' is expected to approach i bar to the above numerical range. In one embodiment, the closing force applied to the valve member can be provided by biasing - tamping the H-type embodiment to provide the closing force without consuming electrical energy. In an alternative embodiment, the closing force can also be supplied by the electric coil or electric motor. However, this will result in continuous energy consumption' and is therefore not preferred. For use in a continuous paste __oker, the sealing valve includes two ceramic plates each having an opening σ' and in order to open and close the valve, they are arranged to rotate against each other. Such a ceramic plate is heat-resistant and is therefore highly suitable for use in equipment for dividing water. Therefore, the (four)_this-class embodiment does not have a 闭合 member on the 1-seat-specific closing force (four). Use - a valve member that is pressed against the valve seat _1 対 対 零件 The part of the 阙 member that abuts the wide seat must be made of a flexible material. However, in general, the scratch form number Α0101 8th buy/total 31 pages Τ 贫 』 ” ” 201213641 exposure to high temperature boiling water is less resistant. To solve this problem, an embodiment of the present invention provides a device, The upstream component of the fluid communication includes a tube connected by an upstream end of the discharge conduit to the sump, and connected by a downstream end of the inlet of the valve, and viewed from the upstream end to the downstream end The tube traverses a path in succession with an upwardly extending portion, a top portion, and a downwardly extending portion. [0013] Due to the fact that cold water is heavier than hot water, the cooled water will collect in the downward direction of the tube. In the extended part, the hot water tending to rise from the sump will rise to the top of the tube due to heat convection, but in this position Ο can not flow further into the tube. Therefore, the boiling water can be prevented from continuously contacting the valve. More specifically, the boiling water can be prevented from coming into continuous contact with the valve member and the valve seat. The valve member parts that are generally designed to be flexible against the sley are thus only in contact with boiling water for a short period of time, and a larger portion of The remainder time is a much lower water contact with the temperature. This has a particularly good effect on the durability of the valve. Furthermore, due to this design of the supply conduit, the heat transfer to the valve body of the valve will be significantly limited. Only a minimum amount of heat can be dissipated to the surrounding environment via the valve body. [0014] To further reduce heat transfer to the valve, in one embodiment, the tube can include a plastic tube component. The plastic is a poor thermal conductor. And therefore the least heat transfer to the valve body will also occur via the tube. Furthermore, when the valve body is made of stainless steel, the energy output of the device can be even more improved. Stainless steel is a particularly poor thermal conductor, and To the extent that it is still in contact with hot water, this only involves one end of the valve member, and the heating of the remainder of the valve member and the heat transfer to the surrounding environment will only occur in a very limited range. 100108233 Form No. A0101 9 pages/total 31 pages 1003204832-0 201213641 [0015] Further processing of the present invention is described in the scope of the accompanying patent application, and will further be incorporated by reference. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention are set forth below. [Embodiment] [0016] The exemplary embodiments shown schematically in the drawings are by way of example only and only as a further description. The exemplary embodiments include an insulated tank 10, which is An excess pressure is prevailing inside the sump 10. The sump 10 is provided with a supply conduit 12 that abuts the bottom surface of the sump 10. The supply conduit 12 is designed for connection to the common water supply system 14. In use, once the hot water is used Or the boiling water flows out of the sump 10, and the cold tap water is supplied from the public water supply system to the sump 10 via the supply conduit 12. The sump 10 is further provided with a discharge duct 16 which abuts the upper end side of the sump 10. In use, hot water or boiling water can be used The sump 10 flows out through the discharge conduit 16. An electric heating element 18 is arranged in the sump 10. The temperature of the water in the sump 10 can be maintained above the boiling point of the atmosphere by appropriate control of the electric heating element 18. The apparatus is further provided with an outlet tube 20 that includes an upstream component 22, an internal fluid communication 24, 24' and a downstream component 26 via fluid communication to the discharge conduit 16 of the sump 10. In general, the outlet pipe will have a first-rate outlet that is located above a sink or similar drain. Preferably, the outlet tube 20 is pivotally rotatable and height adjustable. Therefore, when pans and cups with different heights are placed on the counter or in the sink, they can be filled without boiling water. [0017] The apparatus further includes valves 28, 28' contained in fluid communication 22, 24, 24', 26. [0018] The valves 28, 28' are provided with valve bodies 30, 32, 30', 32'. Valves 28, 28', more specifically their valve bodies 30, 32, 30', 32', provided with 100108233 Form No. A0101 Page 10 / Total 31 pages 1003204832-0 201213641 Connection to the upstream part 22 of the fluid communication 34, 34'. The outlets 36, 36' of the valve 28, Ο 28' are connected to the downstream component 26 of the fluid communication. The valves 28, 28' are further provided with valve seats 38, 38' and valve members 40, 40'' arranged to be movable in the closed position against the valve seats 38, 38' with a specific closing force. The valves 28, 28' further include actuators 42, 42, which exert a lifting force on the jaw members 40, 40' opposite the direction of the closing force in an operational state (i.e., a state corresponding to opening the faucet). So that the valve members 40, 40' rise from the valve seats 38, 38'. Valves 28, 28, further include internal fluid communication 24, 24 that connects inlets 34, 34' to outlets 36, 36' and can be sealed by valve members 4, 40. The configuration of the valves 28, 28' and their connection to the fluid, in particular the connection of the upstream part 22 and the downstream part 26 in the fluid communication, causes an excessive dust force prevailing in the sump 10 to exert on the valve member 40, 40' The force opposite to the direction of the closing force. When the excess pressure prevailing in the sump 10 reaches a certain limit, the closing force causes the valve members 40, 40' to be pressed from the closed position. The apparatus is further provided with an operating element 6 8. for the purpose of bringing the valve members 4 〇, 40 0 into the open and closed positions, respectively. The operating element 6.8 is used to bring the actuators 42, 42' into Operational status and non-operational status. [0019] The apparatus for dispensing boiling water so designed is reliable and durable because the same valve members 40, 40' are used for normal use both when dispensing boiling water and also for excessive pressure protection. Since the same valve members 4, 40 which are opened when the excess pressure prevailing in the sump 10 exceeds a certain limit value are also opened at each normal use, excessive pressure safety measures due to, for example, scale deposition are almost eliminated. The risk of no longer being effective. Therefore, the use of this equipment can prevent blockage of the valve body as an excessive pressure safety measure due to deactivation and optional scale formation or the type of 100108233 Form No. 1010101 Page 11 of 31 1003204832-0 201213641. Another advantage is that when the excess force prevailing in the sump is above a certain limit, the vapor and/or water in excess pressure is distributed to the surrounding environment via the outlet tube. Thus, in general, the water will eventually lie in the sink or similar drain and there will be no vapor release, typically the tank 10 will be placed in the sink cabinet. There is still another advantage - there is only one moving part, i.e., the valve members 4, 40'. As a result, the device can be manufactured in an economical manner, and in addition, the only moving part facilitates reliable operation. [0021] The above-mentioned limit values for lifting the valve members 4, 4 from the valve seats 38, 38 against the closing force may be located, for example, from 2 to 11 due to the excessive pressure prevailing in the sump 1 . Within the scope of Pakistan. In other words, an absolute pressure is in the range of 3 to 12 bar. The use of a fixed limit within this range results in the presence of water in the sump being maintained at superatmospheric pressure so that its temperature can remain above atmospheric boiling point without undulating the water in the sump. When the user wishes to draw the water, the valve 68, 28' is operated using the operating member 68 to operate, i.e., 'actuate' the actuators 42, 42' and to cause the valve members 4, 4, from the valve seat 38, 38 rises. The effluent water will begin to boil while flowing out due to exposure to atmospheric pressure rather than excessive pressure. The electromagnetic design of the valve 28 will now be described in further detail with reference to FIG. In one embodiment (an example of which is shown in Figure 2), the valve member 4A can be designed as a piston, which in its entirety has a sealing member 52 of a flexible material. In the closed position of the valve member 40, the sealing member 52 abuts against the valve seat 38. The flexible material provides a reliable seal of the fluid communication 24 in the solenoid valve 28. In one embodiment of the solenoid valve 28, the 'closing force' can be generated by a spring 44 placed under bias. An example of this embodiment is shown in Figure 2. In order to form a miniaturized solenoid valve 100108233 Form No. A0101 Page 12 of 31 1003204832-0 201213641, it is advantageous to design the piston to be hollow in order to form a spring chamber 54 in which the spring 44 can be contained. Here, one end of the spring 44 abuts against the inner wall of the piston which delimits the spring chamber 54, and a second end is pressed against a portion of the valve body 30' 32 via a coupling shaft extending from the piston. When the valve member 40 is in the closed position, the distance between the inner wall of the piston against which the first end of the spring abuts and the portion of the valve body 30, 32 at which the second end of the spring 44 is pressed is a given value. Using this given value, the size of the bullet 44 determines the limit of the excess pressure prevailing in the sump 10 that raises the valve member 40 from the valve seat 38. In an embodiment, the piston-shaped valve member 40 may be entirely made of a ferromagnetic material in addition to the sealing member 52. However, some of the pistons may also be constructed of different materials and include, for example, ferromagnetic sleeves. [0022] In an embodiment, the valve bodies 30, 32 may be provided with a coil body part 30 having a valve member chamber 56 surrounded by an electrical coil 42. The valve body 30, 32 can further include a connecting body member 32 that includes an inlet 34 and an outlet 36 and a valve seat 38. Here, the connecting body part 32 can be coupled to the coil body part 30, for example by means of a thread or by a bayonet coupling. By constructing the valve body from the two body parts in this way, it is relatively simple to manufacture. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the electrical coil 42 is attached to the coil body component 30 because it is clamped between the shoulder 72 and the clamp ring 74 on the coil body component 30 and is supported by the nut 76. The clamp ring 74 is pressed against the coil. The nut 76 engages with a threaded member 78 provided on the coil body member 30. [0023] FIG. 3 shows an exemplary alternate embodiment of one of the valves 28'. In this embodiment, the actuator 42' of the valve is designed as an electric motor 42'. The electric motor 42' can be, for example, a stepper motor or a servo motor provided with a rotor and a stator (not shown). In the example shown, the electric motor 4 2 ' is provided with an integrated transmission (not shown in 100108233, Form No. A0101, page 13 / page 31, 1003204832-0 201213641), which converts the rotation of the rotor into the shaft 80 of the motor 42'. 'Axial movement. The shaft 80' is coupled to the valve member 40' and has a gap such that when the excess pressure prevailing in the sump 10 is above the above stated limit, due to the prevailing excess pressure and due to the available between the piston 40' and the shaft 80' In the gap, the valve member 40' can be pressed from the valve seat 38' by the electric motor 42' in a non-operating state. When the electric motor 42' is in the operational state, the shaft 80' can be brought into position where the valve member 40' rises from the valve seat 38 against the closing force. In the exemplary embodiment shown in Fig. 3, the position of the shaft 80' is a position retracted in the axial direction. As with the exemplary embodiment shown in Fig. 2, the valve member 40' can be designed as a piston and has a sealing member 52' of a flexible material on its front end. When the valve member 40' is in the closed position, the sealing member 52' abuts against the valve seat 38'. The flexible material provides a reliable seal of fluid communication 24' in valve 28'. Also in this embodiment, the closing force applied to the valve member 40' can be generated by a spring 44 placed under bias. [0024] In an embodiment of which is illustrated in FIG. 3, the valve body 30, 32' may be provided with an electric motor suspension component 30' and a connecting body part 32' including an inlet 34' and an outlet 36. 'and seat 38'. The connecting body part 32' is coupled to the electric motor suspension part 30'. [0025] For the two embodiments of the examples shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, respectively, it is considered that the connecting body parts 32, 32' may be provided with central holes 58, 58' having the inlets 34, 34 formed therein. 'One of the first ends and one of the second ends surrounded by valve seats 38, 38'. The connecting body part 32, 32' is further provided with a connecting chamber 60, 60' in which the central hole 58, 58' terminates at the second end, and the valve seat 38, 38' is located therein, and the valve member 40 in the closed position 40' extends at least partially therein. Connecting body part 32, 32' 100108233 Form number A0101 Page 14 of 31 1003204832-0 201213641 Further provided are second holes 62, 62' which extend substantially perpendicularly to the central hole 58, 58' and which have an exit One of the first ends of 36, 36' terminates at one of the second ends of the connection chambers 60, 60'. For this type of embodiment, it is believed that the valve 28 has only one moving part, especially when the actuator is designed as a solenoid 4, and thus is of a relatively simple construction that greatly enhances the reliability of the valve 28 and Durability. [0026] According to a further process (an example of which is shown in Figures 2 and 3), the valve members 40, 40' designed as pistons have a central longitudinal axis L, and the pistons can be arranged along the center The shaft L moves and the valve seats 38, 38' extend in one of the planes of the vertical central longitudinal axis L. With this configuration, the excess pressure 10 prevailing in the sump 10 exerts a force on the piston that is opposite to the direction of the closing force applied by the springs 44, 44'. The central bore 58 can have a central longitudinal axis that coincides with the central longitudinal axis L along which the valve members 40, 40' of the piston are arranged to be movable. [0027] An embodiment of a valve 28' having an electric motor 42' (an example of which is shown in FIG. 3) may be provided with a coupling part 82' that connects the shaft 80' of the electric motor 42' with a valve member designed as a piston 40'. Further, a film 84' having a central opening may be provided. Through the central opening, the shaft 80' of the electric motor 42' is reached. The film 84' is watertight and is clamped between the coupling member 82' and the ring or flange 86' attached to the shaft 80' of the electric motor 42'. The film 84' is provided with an outer circumference that is watertightly coupled to the electric motor suspension component 30. Further, a sealing cover 88' is provided which is clamped together with the film 84' between the connecting body 32' and the electric motor suspension part 30' and which is between the connecting body 32' and the electric motor suspension part 30' A watertight seal is formed. Further, a spring 44' placed under a bias is provided, which is located in the connection chamber 60' of 100108233 Form No. A0101 Page 15 of 31 1003204832-0 201213641. One of the first ends of the spring 44' abuts against a retaining ring attached in the piston and a second end abuts against the sealing cap 88'. In one embodiment (an example of which is shown in Figure 3), the valve member 40' designed as a piston may be provided with a slot 90' extending perpendicular to the central axis L of the piston. The coupling member 82' may be provided with a transverse pin 92' that extends perpendicular to the central axis L of the piston and that is contained within the slot 90'. The diameter of the transverse pin 92' and the size of the slot 90' are engaged with each other so as to provide the above clearance. It is understood that many alternative configurations for slot/transverse pin connections are suitable for providing an axial gap between the shaft 80' and the valve member 40'. [0028] In an embodiment of which is illustrated in FIG. 1, the upstream component 22 of the fluid communication 22, 24, 26 may include a tube 46 having an upstream end 48 coupled to the discharge conduit 16 of the sump 10. The downstream end 50 of the tube 46 is connected to the inlets 34, 34' of the valves 28, 28'. Here, viewed from the upstream end 48 to the downstream end 50, the tube 46 can be contiguously traversing a path with the upwardly extending portion 46a, the top portion 46b, and the downwardly extending portion 46c. Due to this type of configuration of the upstream component 22 of fluid communication, boiling water will be prevented from being continuously fed to the valve 28 due to thermal convection. In fact, cold water is heavier than hot water, and as a result, hot water will flow through the heat convection into the lower portion of the 4 6 c, but stop there with relatively cold water. An important advantage of this is that the valve 28, and more particularly the flexible material sealing members 52, 52', are not continuously in contact with boiling hot water, which will significantly increase the durability of the solenoid valves 28, 28'. The sealing members 52, 52' will only be in contact with the boiling hot water for a period of time when the valve is opened for the purpose of use. After the valves 28, 28' are closed, the water present in the downwardly extending portion 46c will cool and will no longer become hot due to the heat convection flow. Preferably, the volume enclosed by the downwardly extending portion 46c is smaller than the volume of, for example, a teacup. Down by 100108233 Form No. A0101 Page 16 of 31 1003204832-0 201213641

(4) Initially, the money is filled with the temperature at the boiling point of the atmosphere. This can be achieved by extending the length down (e.g., a length of approximately 5 cm) and having a near diameter. Also in order to limit heat loss as much as possible, in an embodiment, the tube 46 may comprise a plastic tube part. The plastic forest conductor' and therefore the heat transfer via tube 46 will be limited to a minimum. Similarly, heat transfer therethrough can be minimized by making the valve bodies 3, 32, 30, 32' of the valves 28, 28 from residual steel. When the discharge conduit 16 adjoining the upper end side of the sump 10 enables the vertical connection of the upstream of the conduit 46, the above-described thermal path fe of the tube 46 can be produced in an effective manner. Here, it is preferred to define valves 28, 28, the central bores 58, 58' of the inlet 34 being substantially horizontally extended so that the downstream end 50 of the tube will extend substantially horizontally there. [0029] In an exemplary embodiment, the valves 28, 28 may be - two position valves. In the non-operating state of the actuators 42, 42', the valve members 4, 40 are in the closed position unless the excess pressure in the sump 1 达到 reaches a predetermined limit. When the actuators 42, 42 are operated via the operating member 68, the valve members 4, 40' are in the open position. Since the actuators 42, 42 are either in an operational state or in a non-operating state, the control required for this type of valve 28, 28 is relatively simple. For example, the control can be a simple switch that is included in a circuit in which there is a ballast (e.g., a total wire and an actuator 42 designed as an electrical coil). [0030] In an alternate embodiment, the valves 28, 28' can be a controllable valve. In the non-operating state of the actuators 42, 42 , the valve members 40, 40' are typically located unless the pressure 100108233 in the sump 1 表单 Form No. A01O1 Page 17 / Total 31 Page 1003204832-0 201213641 reaches a limit value Closed position. Depending on the degree of actuation of the actuator 42 designed as an electrical coil, the valve members 40, 40' can be brought into the range of the open position. When the electric motor 42' is used as an actuator, comparable results can be achieved by controlling its position. [0031] The controllable valves 28, 28' and thus the operation and control of the actuators 42, 42' require somewhat complicated control. This type of control can be formed, for example, by a potentiometer included in a circuit that is connected to a feed (e.g., a total wire) and in which an electrical coil 42 is also present. [0032] However, electronic control can also be provided. In one embodiment, this type of electronic control 64 can be provided with an input 66 to which the operating element 68 is coupled; and an output 70, such as an actuator designed as an electrical coil 42 or an alternative electric motor 42 coupled thereto. Control 64 can be designed to produce a drive signal that is transmitted via output 70 to actuators 42, 42', while the drive signal is dependent on the operation of operating element 68. As already stated, the control can be a simple switch or a potentiometer. Control 64 can be formed by an electronic module that can be provided with control and drive functions. In addition, additional features provide enhanced security. For example, when the operating element 68 is touched, the control 64 can generate a warning signal to draw the user's attention to the fact that the faucet dispenses hot water or boiling water. This type of signal can be an optical signal or an audio signal. The user will then abandon the use of the faucet or carefully operate the faucet for the purpose of drawing boiling water from the faucet. The present invention has been described and illustrated in detail with reference to the drawings. The invention is not limited to the described embodiments. The features described in the scope of the appended patent application can be combined with each other.
