Description

Intelligent thermostat and energy-saving drink dispenser

The invention relates to a hot water tank outlet end of a drinking machine that maintains medium temperature and heat insulation. A flow meter and an electric water pump are connected, and then an instantaneous heater with a cooling unit is connected, and then connected. A water outlet pipe provided with a water outlet electromagnetic switch valve, so that users can operate according to their needs, and then they can obtain drinking water at different temperatures as required, so that the beverage dispenser can meet the purpose of energy saving. .

Due to the impact of the past energy crisis, improving the energy efficiency of electrical appliances has received widespread attention at home and abroad. The United States has formulated the "Energy Policy and Conservation Act", Japan has formulated the "Energy Use Rationalization Law", and China has formulated the "Energy Management Law". A common disclosure in the bill is that the government is required to set and manage energy efficiency standards for energy-consuming appliances to promote energy-saving appliances. This shows that efficiency management is an important part of energy conservation policies. No problem.

Take drinking machine as an example, it is generally installed in public places, offices, homes, etc. for drinking water. The drinking water temperature of the drinking machine is mainly compared with room temperature. Water near room temperature is known as "warm water", which is close to water. The boiling point is called "hot water", and the structure of a general drinking machine mainly includes: a lifetime water tank, a hot water tank and a warm water tank, and the water tanks are connected through pipes and installed on the pipes. There are control elements such as check valve and solenoid valve to make raw water flow into the hot water tank for boiling. In addition, raw water will not flow into the hot water tank that has been boiled for insulation, and at the same time, the boiled hot water will flow into the warm water tank to allow it to cool naturally, and then it is ready for consumers to drink warm water.

Among them, the hot water in the hot water tank needs to be maintained with electric heat to maintain a high temperature state after boiling. According to the Institute of Energy Research of the Industrial Research Institute for Taiwan ’s commercially available drink dispensers, some investigations have been conducted. The power consumption is about 1.8 kWh. Based on this, it is roughly estimated that the power consumption of a drinking machine every month is between 54 and 90 kWh, and the average electricity consumption of households in summer in Taiwan last year (106) Compared with 424 degrees per month (http://www.chinatimes.com/newspapers/20170524000393-260114), a drinking machine may take up 12% ~ 21% of the total monthly electricity consumption of ordinary households casually. , Is almost in line with the power consumption of the refrigerator.

The main reason for the power consumption of the above-mentioned drink dispenser is that the hot water tank has a small capacity, the heat loss per unit volume is serious, and the thermal insulation and thermal insulation effects of the hot water tank are not good, especially the thermal insulation temperature of the hot water tank is maintained at The high heating temperature near the boiling point has a large temperature difference from room temperature, which makes the cooling rate fast, which results in short heating intervals and many times and wastes energy, resulting in low energy efficiency of the general beverage machine.

Secondly, when the hot water tank supplies water, the hot water in the hot water tank will be replenished immediately, and the water temperature in the warm water tank will increase accordingly, and if a large amount of warm water is continuously supplied High-temperature hot water will also be continuously replenished into the warm water tank at the same time, causing the water temperature in the warm water tank to rise sharply, which also causes the supplied water to be out of warm water and cannot be immediately consumed due to high heat.

The reason is that in order to improve the hot water tank of the previously known drinking machine, the high temperature and poor thermal insulation result in serious heat loss, low energy efficiency, and a large number of continuous supply of warm water resulting in excessively high drinking water temperature. That is, there is provided a heat exchanger provided with a medium-temperature heat preservation device on the beverage dispenser. The water outlet of the water tank is sequentially connected with an electric water supply pump that drives the flowmeter, and then with an instantaneous heater with a cooling unit, and then with an outlet pipe with a water outlet electromagnetic switch valve on it. That is, the water in the hot water tank of the hot heater can be cooled to warm water or high-temperature hot water heated to a set temperature, and then sent out by the outlet pipe for drinking, so that the temperature difference from room temperature is small and the temperature is reduced. The slow speed of the medium-temperature insulation hot water tank can greatly reduce the energy consumption of the insulation, and only needs to briefly heat the amount of water to be consumed and its temperature to obtain greater energy saving effects.

The technical solution adopted by the new type to solve its technical problem is that an electric water pump is connected to a water outlet end of a hot water tank through a pipeline, and then connected to a water outlet pipe provided with a water outlet electromagnetic switch valve, and the electric water supply is provided. An instantaneous heater is arranged on the pipeline between the water pump and the outlet solenoid valve.

In the above solution, a front end of the hot water tank is provided with a water inlet pipe provided with a water inlet electromagnetic switch valve, and an inlet water tank is connected.

In the above solution, a flow meter capable of calculating the water supply and discharge amount is provided on the pipeline provided with the electric feedwater pump.

In the above solution, a cooling unit is installed on the instant heater, and the cooling unit may be a heat dissipation fan or a cooling element.

Therefore, through the above-mentioned instant drink heater, the instant heater that allows the water in the hot water tank to pass through and the automatic insulation that only makes the hot water tank to be medium temperature, and then uses the instant heater to The amount of water and temperature can be supplied in a short time of instant heating to supply the required drinking water, so that the power consumption required to keep the drinker warm is reduced. At the same time, when high-temperature hot water is required, the required amount of water is heated to the required temperature In order to avoid the boiling water machine repeatedly boiling due to high temperature caused by boiling water, can also reduce unnecessary energy consumption, and thus achieve the purpose of energy saving.

The present invention is further described below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the instant hot drink machine.

Please refer to FIG. 1, the main structure of the new type beverage dispenser includes a lifetime water tank 1, which is connected to a hot water tank 2 through a water inlet pipe 11, and a water inlet electromagnetic switch valve is installed on the water inlet pipe 11. 12, according to the level of the water level in the hot water tank 2 and timely introduction of raw water in the raw water tank 1 into the hot water tank 2.

The water outlet end of the hot water tank 2 is connected to an instantaneous heater 5 through a pipeline, and an electric water pump 3 and a flow meter 4 capable of calculating the amount of water supplied are installed on the pipeline, and the instantaneous heat is also provided. The heater 5 is provided with a cooling unit 8, and then a water outlet pipe 7 for drinking water is connected to the water outlet end of the instant heater 5. At the same time, a water outlet electromagnetic switch valve 6 is installed on the water pipe 7 to control drinking. Water outflow or stop.

Therefore, when the hot water tank 2 is at a low water level, the water inlet solenoid switch valve 12 is opened to allow the raw water contained in the raw water tank 1 to be introduced into the hot water tank 2 through the water inlet pipe, and heating is started until it is at a high level. After the water level, the water inlet solenoid switch valve 12 is closed to stop the introduction of raw water. After the water in the hot water tank 2 is boiled, the water is gradually cooled to medium temperature water (about 50 ~ 60 ° C) and passed through an external sensor. Environmental temperature detection is performed to carry out the automatic insulation program of this medium-temperature water, so that the normal water supply operation is subsequently performed. Since the medium-temperature water is kept far below the temperature of general high-temperature hot water (about 95 ° C), the relative heat energy loss rate Slower. At the same time, when the water temperature is lower than the preset temperature of the insulation water, it will be heated to the middle temperature water again. The time required for this heating can not only be greatly reduced, but also the power consumption can be greatly reduced. To achieve the purpose of energy saving.

When there is a need for warm water to drink, after pressing the warm water button, make the electric feed water pump 3 Start to supply the water in the hot water tank 2 to the instantaneous heater 5, but the instantaneous heater 5 does not start heating, but causes the cooling unit 8 to start the instant water passing through the instantaneous heater 5. The cooling operation allows the water to be cooled to normal temperature, and at the same time, the outlet solenoid switch valve 6 is opened to allow the cooled water to flow out of the end of the outlet pipe 7 for drinking; the aforementioned cooling unit 8 may be a cooling fan, or Cooling of water is better for cooling elements.

When there is a need for hot water drinking, a temperature adjuster or a different temperature button is added, and the hot water button is added to make the hot water temperature adjustment without step or multi-stage (for example: 55 ~ 100 ℃) , Or different preset water temperature values of 55 ° C, 65 ° C, 75 ° C, 85 ° C, 90 ° C, and 100 ° C). The user only needs to set or press the desired hot water temperature, and then press the hot water button. That is, the electric feed pump 4 will be started to supply the water in the hot water tank 2 to the instant heater 5 for instantaneous heating, so that the passing water is instantly heated to the required hot water temperature, and at the same time, the output water is electromagnetic The on-off valve 6 is opened to allow hot water to flow out of the end of the water outlet pipe 7 for drinking.

Secondly, whether you want to drink warm water or hot water, in addition to the length of time that the user continues to press the hot water button or hot water button, the required amount of water can be determined independently, and it can also pass through the aforementioned flow meter 4, plus The preset water volume setting device (for example, it can adjust the water output volume of 100 ~ 500C.C.), So that after adjusting the amount of drinking water required, the user can touch or press the hot water button or hot water button to release the hand. It can be calculated by the flow meter 4 to allow the water to flow out according to the set amount of water, and then the water outlet electromagnetic switch valve 6 is automatically closed, so that the user can freely choose the water temperature and volume, and achieve the convenience of drinking water access .

Therefore, the hot water tanks of the new type of hot water dispenser described above only heat the medium temperature hot water, so that even if the hot water consumption of the hot water dispenser is idle, the hot water can be greatly reduced, and the heat energy of high temperature hot water is lost quickly. In addition to the shortcomings of maintaining high temperature and high power consumption, but also because of high temperature hot water, When the medium-temperature water is heated through the instant heater 5 to the required high-temperature hot water, only the amount of water to be consumed needs to be heated, so the heating time required is short, and the required power consumption can be relatively greatly reduced. And achieve the purpose of energy saving.

Secondly, the water inlet pipe 11 between the raw water tank 1 and the hot water tank 2 can be further equipped with a filtering unit 9 capable of processing hard water into soft water, and the filtering amount can be monitored through the flow meter 4 so that the hot water tank 2 can be avoided. The generation of scale in the instant heater 5 can not only ensure the quality of drinking water, but also prevent the heater from affecting the heating efficiency and extend the service life of the equipment due to scale.
