Abstract

This design is an energy-saving faucet, which embeds an electrothermal device inside the faucet to heat the tap water. When using, one can adjust the switch to control discharge volume as well as to heat the water directly and rapidly by an electrothermal device. This can replace traditional design with a distant geyser and a hot-water reservoir to save energy wasting on warm-keeping and channeling of hot water. Moreover, since the heating of water requires no gas, one can avoid the danger of gas leakage or incomplete combustion, so that the safety is greatly increased.

Description

Energy saving faucet

The present invention provides a faucet structure, in particular, a heating element is installed in the water inlet pipe of the faucet, and the water can be directly heated by the faucet.

As shown in Fig. 1, the faucet 10 has a cold water delivery pipe 11 and a hot water delivery pipe 12, and the cold water delivery pipe 11 communicates with a tap water source 13 through which the hot water delivery pipe 12 is connected. A heating water reservoir 14 is in communication with the tap water source 13. The heating water reservoir 14 pre-heats the inflow tap water and stores it in the interior, and then outputs hot water for use by the user when in use.

It is worth noting that in order to allow the user to have hot water at any time, the heating water storage device 14 must continuously heat the hot water stored inside for a long time to ensure that the water temperature is within an appropriate range; The heating water storage device 14 and the faucet 10 are connected by a hot water delivery pipe 12 at a certain distance, and the hot water that has been completely heated is naturally cooled when flowing through the hot water delivery pipe 12, and is used until use. The temperature is much lower than that during storage. In summary, the conventional faucet 10 obviously has the problem of wasting energy.

In addition, most of the conventional water heaters use gas as fuel for heating, but it is well known that if the gas is not completely burned, it will produce carbon monoxide, and when carbon monoxide is inhaled, it will be dizzy, nausea, vomiting, The whole body is weak; in severe cases, it may cause confusion, shock, and even death, which is extremely harmful to the user's personal safety.

In view of this, the author has conceived and studied more deeply, hoping to create a faucet structure that provides more energy saving and safety.

The present invention is an energy-saving faucet whose main purpose is to provide a fuel that is not heated by gas, improve the safety of use, and by changing the installation position of the electric heating element, enables the user to use hot water. Reduce energy wasted on preheating, holding and transporting hot water.

In order to achieve the above objective, the present invention provides an energy-saving faucet, which uses utility power as a power source, and includes: a body including an inlet pipe, an outlet pipe and a chamber, and the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are connected to the chamber. And a cavity is formed in the chamber; an electric heating element is disposed in the chamber, the electric heating element has an electric heating part at one end and a receiving end of the electric heating element; and a control device is mounted on the body The control device is electrically connected to the electric heating element through a regulating circuit and a variable resistor; and a power supply group is disposed on the through hole of the body and is sleeved at the through hole by a water stopping member, One end of the power supply group at the outside of the body is a power input portion, and one end of the power supply body is connected to the power receiving end of the electric heating element.

By heating the tap water with the electric heating element instead of burning the gas, the creation greatly improves the safety of use; the creation directly installs the electric heating element in the chamber of the faucet body, and can immediately heat the tap water in the chamber when using, avoiding Energy is wasted in the process of preheating, heat preservation and transporting hot water when storing hot water to achieve energy saving.

The cold water inlet pipe 21, the hot water inlet pipe 22 and the outlet pipe 23 are connected to the chamber 24 to make tap water from After the cold water inlet pipe 21 and the hot water inlet pipe 22 flow in, the water outlet pipe 23 flows out through the chamber 24, and the cavity 24 defines a through hole 241, and the magnetic member 25 is installed in the hot water inlet pipe 22. The electric heating element 30 is disposed in the chamber 24, and one end of the electric heating element 30 is an electric heating part 31, and the other end is a power receiving end 32, and the electric heating part 31 is a halogen heater, or a heating material, such as a nickel-chromium wire, a wound wire The control device 40 is rotatably and rotatably mounted on the top of the body 20. The control device 40 transmits a control circuit 42 and a variable resistor 41. The heating element 30 is electrically connected to the control device 40. The variable resistor 41 is fixed on the top of the body, whereby the user can pull and rotate the control device 40. And regulate the size and temperature of the water flow; The power supply unit 50 is disposed on the through hole 241 of the body 20 and is sleeved at the through hole 241 by a water stopping member 51. The water stopping member 51 is a rubber ring structure to prevent water from being perforated. The power supply unit 50 is located at one end of the body of the power supply unit, and the one end of the power supply unit 50 is connected to the power receiving end 32 of the electric heating element 30.

The above is the main components of the creation embodiment and its configuration description.

For the use and function of the present embodiment, please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 together with FIG. 2, in the actual use, the user controls the amount of water and the heating through the control device 40 at the same time. Temperature, when the control device 40 is pulled up, as the common faucet, the amount of water flowing out becomes larger, and conversely, when the control device 40 is pulled downward, the water flow rate is decreased; When the upper portion is rotated and rotated toward the hot water end, the regulating circuit 42 contacts the variable resistor 41, and reduces the resistance value of the variable resistor to increase the current passing through the electric heating portion 31, whereby the electric current is increased. The heating unit 31 rapidly heats the tap water in the chamber 24 to increase the temperature of the outflow water, and can be directly heated in the faucet to achieve the energy-saving purpose of no preheating, no heat preservation, and no heat loss of the pipeline; The variable resistor 41 and the regulating circuit 42 may be provided with a waterproof device to prevent external water droplets from splashing or water vapor from entering the short circuit.

It is worth mentioning that, please refer to Figure 2, generally, the tap water contains a small amount of calcium ions, magnesium ions, bicarbonate and carbonate ions. If the oxygen content in tap water is insufficient, calcium ions and magnesium The solubility of ions in water is reduced, and scale is formed with carbonate ions. Especially when the water temperature is high, the oxygen content of water is further reduced, causing the scale to gradually accumulate. Although the scale is not harmful to the human body, the scale will Deposition In the surface of the heating element, the thermal conductivity thereof is deteriorated, so that the energy consumption is greatly increased. In view of this, in particular, between the hot water inlet pipe 22 and the cavity 24, a magnetic member 25 is provided. The magnetic member 25 prevents precipitation of anions and cations in the tap water and reduces scale generation.
