Description

Electric temperature-free energy-saving water-saving device

The present invention relates to an electric-free temperature-controlled energy-saving and water-saving device, and more particularly to a device capable of maintaining a suitable temperature after mixing cold water and hot water without electric power.

According to the conventional faucet with water temperature adjustment function, the main part is connected with cold water at one end and hot water at the other end. The source of hot water is mainly heated by water heater or electric heating furnace. Generally, users have customary water temperature when using water. When the faucet is turned on, the water temperature is first tested by the operation of the faucet, and when the cold water and the hot water are mixed and adjusted to the customary water temperature, the rinsing action is started.

However, in the process of testing the water temperature by the user, the water output by the faucet cannot be used for rinsing, but only the drain hole is lost, thereby causing waste of water, especially for the hairdressing salon. According to statistics, the hairdressing industry's water consumption for testing water temperature averages 2.5L to 2.8L in summer, and the water consumption in winter is even more.

Therefore, how to solve the problem of the above-mentioned conventional water use is the main focus of this creation.

The main purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problems and provide an electric temperature-free water-saving and water-saving device, so that the cold water and the hot water can be maintained at an appropriate water temperature after being mixed in the tank body, that is, the test water temperature does not have to be tested before the water is flushed. The process can save water that is wasted by testing the water temperature to achieve energy saving and water saving.

For the purpose of the foregoing, the present invention has a water storage space inside a tank body, and the tank body is coated with a material layer which is solid-liquid phase change at a critical temperature around the water storage space, the tank body has 2. The cold water and the hot water respectively enter the water inlet of the water storage space, and the tank body has a water outlet outside the water storage water space for mixing the cold water and the hot water, and the water inlets are respectively opposite to one end in the water storage space. a bimetal strip, each of the bimetal strips being stacked by a metal sheet having two different expansion coefficients, each of the bimetal strips being fixed to an inner wall of the water storage space at a position beside the water inlet and opposite to the water inlet The lift is raised with a gap, and the opening of the gap is proportional to the extent to which the bimetal is bent by heat.

The above and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description and the accompanying drawings.

Of course, the present invention is allowed to differ in some of the parts, or the arrangement of the parts, but the selected embodiments are described in detail in the present specification, and the construction thereof is shown in the drawings.

Please refer to Fig. 1 to Fig. 2, which shows the structure of the embodiment selected for the present invention. This is for illustrative purposes only and is not limited by this structure in the patent application.

The embodiment provides an electric-free temperature-controlled energy-saving and water-saving device. As shown in FIG. 1 , a tank 1 has a water storage space 10 , and the tank 1 is coated around the water storage space 10 . The material layer 11 is formed by solid-liquid phase change at a critical temperature. The tank body 1 has a water inlet 12 and a water inlet 13 for allowing cold water to enter the water storage space 10, and the water inlet 13 The hot water enters the water storage space 10, and the tank body has a water outlet 14 which can be used for the water after the hot and cold mixing to be discharged outside the water storage space 10.

As shown in FIG. 1 , one end of the water inlet 12 and the water inlet 13 in the water storage space 10 respectively face a pair of metal sheets 2, and each of the double metal sheets 2 is stacked by using two metal sheets with different expansion coefficients. a pair of metal sheets 2 are fixed to the inner wall of the water storage space 10 at a position beside the water inlet 12 and are lifted relative to the water inlet 12 to leave a gap A, and the other double metal piece 2 is placed in A side wall adjacent to the nozzle 13 is fixed to the inner wall of the water storage space 10 and is lifted relative to the water inlet 13 to leave a gap B. The opening degree of the gap A/B is proportional to the bending of the bimetal 2 when it is heated. degree.

As shown in FIG. 2, when cold water enters the water storage space 10 from the water inlet 12, and hot water enters the water storage space 10 from the water inlet 13, the water inlet 12 and the water inlet 13 are in the water storage space. The inner end is opposite to the bimetal 2, and the two bimetals 2 are respectively washed by cold water and hot water to change the temperature. In the figure, the bimetal 2 facing the water inlet 13 is gradually lifted. The opening of the gap B is greater than the opening degree of the gap A. At this time, the amount of water entering the water storage space 10 from the water inlet 13 is greater than that of the cold water entering the water storage space 10 by the water inlet 12. The amount of water, combined with the calculation of water flow rate and water temperature, and then through the test and the principle of fluid dynamics, calculate the optimal pore diameter of both the cold water inlet 12 and the hot water inlet 13 to make the hot and cold water mix optimal. The temperature of the user's body.

In the present embodiment, the critical temperature of the solid-liquid phase change is between 37 ° C and 38 ° C. The critical temperature is a temperature suitable for the user's body feeling, and when the water in the water storage space 10 is higher than At the critical temperature, the material layer 11 begins to store latent heat; and when the water in the water storage space 10 is below the critical temperature, the material layer 11 begins to release latent heat. Thereby, if the water in the water storage space 10 is overheated or supercooled, the heat storage and heat release of the material layer 11 can achieve the effect of maintaining the water temperature at the critical temperature.

From the above description, it is not difficult to find that the advantage of the present invention is that when the cold water and the hot water enter the water storage space 10 from the water inlet 12 and the water inlet 13 of the tank body 1, respectively, the two double metal sheets 2 are heated and bent. The cold water and the hot water are allowed to enter the water storage space 10 at an appropriate ratio to approximate the temperature suitable for the user's body feeling, and the water in the water storage space 10 is adjusted by the material layer 11 to maintain the critical temperature, so the water storage space When the water in 10 is output from the water outlet 14, the water temperature is maintained at the temperature suitable for the human body, so the user can directly wash the water when the water is discharged, and the water temperature can be avoided without testing the water temperature. Waste water, and thus achieve water-saving effect.

According to the above, if the electric furnace is used as the hot water supplier, the generation of hot water is mainly caused by the conversion of electric energy into heat energy. Therefore, when the water consumption is reduced, the consumption of electric energy can also be reduced, so in addition to the aforementioned water saving effect, Energy saving can be achieved.

The above description of the embodiments is intended to be illustrative of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

From the above detailed description, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can achieve the aforementioned objectives, and has been in compliance with the provisions of the Patent Law, and has filed a patent application.
