The present invention relates to a water heater to which a heating element is applied and a method of manufacturing the same.
일반적으로, 온수기는 에너지원으로 열에너지를 발생시킨 다음, 발생한 열에너지를 사용하여 물을 가열함으로써 얻게 되는 온수를 사용하게 되는 장치로서, 이러한 온수기는 용수를 가열시키는 에너지원으로서 기름이나 가스 또는 전기를 사용하고 있다.In general, a water heater is a device that generates heat energy as an energy source and then uses hot water obtained by heating water using the generated heat energy. The water heater uses oil, gas, or electricity as an energy source for heating water. Doing.

한편, 모터펌프(20)가 상기 온수탱크(2) 내에서 냉수유입구(3)에 접속되도록 설치된다. 이같은 구성에 의하면 상기 온수탱크(2) 내의 수위감지센서(21)가 일정 수위 이하로 내려가는 것을 감지하여 신호를 출력하면 전원공급 제어기(22)가 모터펌프(20)에 전원 공급원(13)으로부터 전기를 공급하여 모터펌프(20)가 작동된다. 이로써 상수원으로부터 물(냉수)이 수도관에 접속된 냉수유입구(3)를 통해 온수탱크(2)내로 도입되며, 일정 수위에 도달하면 모터펌프(20)의 구동을 중지시키도록 제어하게 된다. 수위 조절을 위해 상하 2개의 수위 감지센서(21)를 사용할 수 있으나, 타이머를 사용하여 모터펌프(20)를 일정 시간 동안만 구동시키는 것도 가능하다. On the other hand, the motor pump 20 is installed to be connected to the cold water inlet 3 in the hot water tank (2). According to this configuration, when the water level sensor 21 in the hot water tank 2 detects that the water level falls below a predetermined level and outputs a signal, the power supply controller 22 supplies electric power from the power supply source 13 to the motor pump 20. By supplying the motor pump 20 is operated. As a result, water (cold water) is introduced into the hot water tank (2) through the cold water inlet (3) connected to the water pipe from the water supply source, and when the water level is reached, the motor pump 20 is controlled to stop driving. Although two water level detection sensors 21 may be used for adjusting the water level, the motor pump 20 may be driven only for a predetermined time using a timer.

In addition, a water temperature sensor 23 is installed to detect the water temperature in the hot water tank 2, and when the water temperature detected by the water temperature sensor 23 reaches the designed lower limit, the power supply controller 22 is connected to the SR heating element 7. Electricity is supplied from the power supply source 13 to generate heat, and the water in the hot water tank 2 is quickly heated by this heat.
이와 같이 하여 설계된 상한치, 예를 들어 그 상한치가 95℃ 또는 100℃라면 그 온도에 도달한 것으로 수온센서(23)에서 신호가 출력이 되면, 릴레이 스위치(24)가 떨어져 전원을 오프시킨다. 여기서, 상기 릴레이 스위치(24)는 별도의 기구일 수도 있고, 아니면 전원공급 제어기(22)의 내부에 구비될 수도 있다.If the upper limit value designed in this way, for example, the upper limit value is 95 ° C. or 100 ° C., reaches the temperature and a signal is output from the water temperature sensor 23, the relay switch 24 drops to turn off the power supply. Here, the relay switch 24 may be a separate mechanism or may be provided inside the power supply controller 22.
상기한 전원 공급원(13)으로는 교류 전원이나 태양열에 의한 전기를 사용하거나 또는 배터리 전원을 이용할 수 있으며, 온수를 사용하는 것이나 샤워용이나 난방용 어느 것에나 본 발명에 의한 전기 온수기의 사용이 가능하다. As the power supply source 13, AC power or solar electric power or battery power may be used. The electric water heater according to the present invention may be used for hot water or for shower or heating. .

Next, a power test, an impedance, and a temperature control test were performed for Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, and the results are shown in FIGS. 6 to 9.
먼저, 도 5는 상기 실시예 1과 비교예 1에 따른 온도 조절 성능을 나타낸 그래프로, 선분 1은 비교예 1에 따른 온도 증가 곡선을 나타내고, 선분 2는 본 발명에 따른 SR 발열체(7)의 온도 증가를 나타낸 것으로, 본 발명의 SR 발열체(7)(실시예 1)는 온도가 일정값 이상이 되면 저항값이 급격히 증가하는 것을 볼 수 있다.First, Figure 5 is a graph showing the temperature control performance according to Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, the line segment 1 shows a temperature increase curve according to Comparative Example 1, the line segment 2 of the SR heating element 7 according to the present invention As the temperature is increased, the SR heating element 7 (Example 1) of the present invention can be seen that the resistance increases rapidly when the temperature is above a certain value.
또한, 도 6 내지 도 8에 도시된 전력실험 결과와 임피던스 실험 결과, 온도변화 실험 결과를 참조하면, 온도는 실시예 1과 비교예 1이 유사하게 증가하고 있다. 그러나 실시예 1은 시간에 따라 저항값(임피던스)이 증가하여 전력사용량이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있고, 비교예 1은 임피던스도 거의 일정하게 나타나고 전력사용량도 거의 일정하게 나타난다. 따라서, 본 발명의 SR 발열체(7)는 시간에 따라 저항값이 증가하여 전력사용량을 감소시킬 수 있고, 저항값의 증가(물질 특성)로 인하여 시간에 따른 전력 및 온도 자기제어(Self-Regulation)이 가능하다는 것을 확인할 수 있다. In addition, referring to the power test results, the impedance test results, and the temperature change test results shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the temperature is similarly increased in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1. However, in Example 1, the resistance value (impedance) increases with time, and thus the power usage decreases. In Comparative Example 1, the impedance is almost constant and the power consumption is almost constant. Therefore, the SR heating element 7 of the present invention can increase the resistance value with time to reduce the power consumption, and the power and temperature self-regulation with time due to the increase in the resistance value (material characteristics). You can see that this is possible.
전술한 것과 같이, 본 발명의 전기 온수기는 SR 발열체(7)가 주위의 온도환경에 대응하여 발열 상태를 조절하면서 온도가 일정하게 유지되도록 하므로, 온수탱크(2) 내의 물을 신속하게 가열하여 온도를 상승시킬 수 있고 적은 전력소모만으로도 상승된 온도를 지속적으로 유지할 수 있는 것이다.As described above, since the electric water heater of the present invention allows the SR heating element 7 to maintain a constant temperature while controlling the heat generation state in response to the surrounding temperature environment, the water in the hot water tank 2 is quickly heated to a temperature. It can increase the temperature and maintain the elevated temperature with low power consumption.
이상에서 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예를 설명하였으나. 본 발명은 다양한 변화와 변경 및 균등물을 사용할 수 있다. 본 발명은 상기 실시예를 적절히 변형하여 동일하게 응용할 수 있음이 명확하다. 따라서 상기 기재 내용은 하기 특허청구범위의 한계에 의해 정해지는 본 발명의 범위를 한정하는 것이 아니다. The preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above. The present invention may use various changes, modifications, and equivalents. It is clear that the present invention can be applied in the same manner by appropriately modifying the above embodiments. Accordingly, the above description does not limit the scope of the invention as defined by the limitations of the following claims.
