以下、本発明の実施の形態について、図面を参照しながら説明する。なお、この実施の形態によって本発明が限定されるものではない。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.
(実施の形態1)
図1は、本発明の実施の形態における貯湯式給湯機の構成図である。まず図1を用いて本実施の形態の貯湯式給湯機の構成を説明する。なお、本発明は、図1に示す貯湯式給湯機の構成に限定されることはなく、例えば、湯張り機能や暖房機能を有している貯湯式給湯機であっても問題はない。
(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a hot water storage type water heater in an embodiment of the present invention. First, the configuration of the hot water storage type water heater of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, this invention is not limited to the structure of the hot water storage type water heater shown in FIG. 1, For example, even if it is a hot water storage type water heater which has a hot water filling function and a heating function, there is no problem.
図1において、本実施の形態の貯湯式給湯機は、高温水を生成する熱源ユニット18と、内部に貯湯タンクを有する貯湯タンクユニット17とで構成されている。なお、本実施の形態では熱源ユニット18にはヒートポンプを使用しているが、これに限定されることはなく、電気ヒーター等の熱源であっても問題はない。 In FIG. 1, the hot water storage type hot water heater of the present embodiment is constituted by a heat source unit 18 that generates high-temperature water and a hot water storage tank unit 17 that has a hot water storage tank inside. In the present embodiment, a heat pump is used for the heat source unit 18, but the heat source unit 18 is not limited to this, and there is no problem even if it is a heat source such as an electric heater.
次に、熱源ユニット18の構成について説明する。熱源ユニット18は、水冷媒熱交換器20、圧縮機40、蒸発器19、膨張弁41を冷媒配管により順次環状に接続して構成されており、冷媒には二酸化炭素を使用しているため、高圧側が臨界圧力を超えるので、水冷媒熱交換器20を流通する水に熱を奪われて温度が低下しても凝縮することがなく、水冷媒熱交換器で冷媒と水との間で温度差を形成しやすくなり、高温の湯が得られ、かつ熱交換効率を高くすることができる。 Next, the configuration of the heat source unit 18 will be described. The heat source unit 18 is configured by sequentially connecting the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 20, the compressor 40, the evaporator 19, and the expansion valve 41 in an annular manner through a refrigerant pipe, and uses carbon dioxide as the refrigerant. Since the high pressure side exceeds the critical pressure, the water flowing through the water / refrigerant heat exchanger 20 does not condense even if the temperature drops and the temperature decreases, and the water / refrigerant heat exchanger does not condense. A difference is easily formed, high-temperature hot water can be obtained, and heat exchange efficiency can be increased.
また、比較的安価でかつ安定な二酸化炭素を冷媒に使用しているので、製品コストを抑えるとともに、信頼性を向上させることができる。また、二酸化炭素はオゾン破壊係数がゼロであり、地球温暖化係数も代替冷媒HFC−407Cの約1700分の1と非常に小さいため、地球環境に優しい製品を提供できる。 In addition, since carbon dioxide, which is relatively inexpensive and stable, is used as the refrigerant, the product cost can be reduced and the reliability can be improved. In addition, carbon dioxide has an ozone depletion coefficient of zero and a global warming coefficient of about 1/700 of the alternative refrigerant HFC-407C, which is very small.
また、熱源ユニット18において、圧縮機40で冷媒が圧縮され、圧縮機40から吐出された冷媒が水冷媒熱交換器20で放熱し、膨張弁41で減圧されたあと、蒸発器19で空気から熱を吸収し、ガス状態で再び圧縮機40に吸入される。なお、圧縮機40の能力制御および膨張弁41の開度制御は、圧縮機40の吐出側に設けたサーミスタ(図示せず)で検出される吐出冷媒の温度が予め設定された温度を維持するように制御される。 Further, in the heat source unit 18, the refrigerant is compressed by the compressor 40, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 40 radiates heat by the water refrigerant heat exchanger 20, is decompressed by the expansion valve 41, and then is discharged from the air by the evaporator 19. The heat is absorbed and sucked into the compressor 40 again in a gas state. In the capacity control of the compressor 40 and the opening degree control of the expansion valve 41, the temperature of the discharge refrigerant detected by a thermistor (not shown) provided on the discharge side of the compressor 40 is maintained at a preset temperature. To be controlled.
次に、貯湯タンクユニット17の構成について説明する。貯湯タンクユニット17の内部には、貯湯タンク11と貯湯タンク11の下部から水道水を供給する給水管21と、貯
湯タンク11の下部から水冷媒熱交換器20を経て、貯湯タンク11の上部へ加熱された湯水を供給する循環ポンプ22を備えた沸き上げ回路23と、貯湯タンク11の内部圧力が異常上昇した時に、内部圧力を逃して貯湯タンク11の破損を防止する缶体保護部材12とを有している。
Next, the configuration of the hot water storage tank unit 17 will be described. Inside the hot water storage tank unit 17, the hot water storage tank 11, a water supply pipe 21 for supplying tap water from the lower part of the hot water storage tank 11, and the lower part of the hot water storage tank 11 through the water refrigerant heat exchanger 20 to the upper part of the hot water storage tank 11. A boiling circuit 23 provided with a circulation pump 22 for supplying heated hot water, a can body protection member 12 for releasing the internal pressure and preventing the hot water storage tank 11 from being damaged when the internal pressure of the hot water storage tank 11 rises abnormally; have.
また、貯湯タンク11の上部から湯水を取出す出湯管24と、沸き上げ中の膨脹水を排水する逃がし弁13と、逃がし弁13の出口には膨脹水を排水する導管14を有するとともに、所定温度の湯水を蛇口25へ供給する給湯混合弁26とを備えている。 Further, a hot water discharge pipe 24 for taking out hot water from the upper part of the hot water storage tank 11, a relief valve 13 for draining the expanded water being heated, a conduit 14 for draining the expanded water at the outlet of the relief valve 13, and a predetermined temperature. And a hot water mixing valve 26 for supplying hot water to the faucet 25.
このように構成された貯湯式給湯機において、本発明の特徴である缶体保護部材112の構成について説明する。図2および図3は、本発明の実施の形態における貯湯式給湯機の缶体保護部材の断面図である。 In the hot water storage type water heater configured as described above, the configuration of the can protection member 112 that is a feature of the present invention will be described. 2 and 3 are cross-sectional views of the can body protecting member of the hot water storage type hot water heater in the embodiment of the present invention.
図2に示すように、本実施の形態の缶体保護部材112は、筐体としてボデー100を有しており、ボデーの内部には沸き上げ回路の一部を構成する第1の循環水路101と第2の循環水路102とを有している。そして第1の循環水路101と第2の循環水路102とは開口部103で接続されており、開口部103を止水機構で開閉することによって、沸き上げ回路の開閉を行っている。また、開口部103は第1の循環水路101から第2の循環水路102に向かうに従って開いていくように勾配のついたテーパ形状を成している。 As shown in FIG. 2, the can body protecting member 112 according to the present embodiment has a body 100 as a casing, and a first circulating water channel 101 that constitutes a part of a boiling circuit inside the body. And a second circulation water channel 102. The first circulating water channel 101 and the second circulating water channel 102 are connected by an opening 103, and the heating circuit is opened and closed by opening and closing the opening 103 with a water stop mechanism. Further, the opening 103 has a tapered shape with a gradient so as to open from the first circulating water channel 101 toward the second circulating water channel 102.
また、ボデー100には、貯湯タンク11内部の圧力が異常上昇したときに外部へ圧力を開放する缶体保護弁12を接続する接続口104が設けられており、接続口104の周囲にはネジ溝105が形成されている。缶体保護弁12は、筐体を構成する縦長形状の缶体保護弁ボデー106を備え、缶体保護弁ボデー106の一端に受圧口6と、他端に排水口7とを有しており、受圧口6から排水口7へ至る経路は略円筒形状を形成している。そして、受圧口6を内側からシールする弁ゴム4が設けられており、受圧口6と反対側から弁ゴム4がバネ5にて加圧支持されている。 In addition, the body 100 is provided with a connection port 104 for connecting a can body protection valve 12 that releases the pressure to the outside when the pressure inside the hot water storage tank 11 abnormally increases. A groove 105 is formed. The can body protection valve 12 includes a vertically long can body protection valve body 106 constituting a casing, and has a pressure receiving port 6 at one end of the can body protection valve body 106 and a drain port 7 at the other end. The path from the pressure receiving port 6 to the drain port 7 forms a substantially cylindrical shape. A valve rubber 4 for sealing the pressure receiving port 6 from the inside is provided, and the valve rubber 4 is pressed and supported by a spring 5 from the side opposite to the pressure receiving port 6.
そして、缶体保護弁ボデー106の外周に沿ってネジ溝105と螺着されるネジ部3が設けられており、缶体保護弁ボデー106を回転させてネジ溝105にネジ部3を螺着固定する。また、缶体保護弁ボデー106の略中央部にはシールパッキン2が設けられ、ボデー100と缶体保護弁ボデー106との間に出来る隙間を確実に埋めている。 A screw portion 3 is provided along the outer periphery of the can body protection valve body 106 and is screwed to the screw groove 105. The can body protection valve body 106 is rotated to screw the screw portion 3 into the screw groove 105. Fix it. In addition, a seal packing 2 is provided at a substantially central portion of the can body protection valve body 106, and a gap formed between the body 100 and the can body protection valve body 106 is reliably filled.
そして、本実施の形態では止水機構として、Oリング(オーリング)形状の弾性部材で形成された止水弁1を使用しており、止水弁1は受圧口6の外側周囲を覆うように配設されている。そして、止水弁1の中心と缶体保護弁12の中心とが略同軸上に位置するように、止水弁1が配設されている。 And in this Embodiment, the water stop valve 1 formed with the elastic member of the O-ring (O-ring) shape is used as a water stop mechanism, and the water stop valve 1 covers the outer periphery of the pressure receiving port 6. It is arranged. And the water stop valve 1 is arrange | positioned so that the center of the water stop valve 1 and the center of the can body protection valve 12 may be located on substantially coaxial.
以上のように構成された缶体保護部材について、その作用・効果について説明する。 The operation and effect of the can body protecting member configured as described above will be described.
まず、貯湯タンク11内の湯水を沸き上げる時には、台所等に設置されるリモコン装置などで構成される操作部31で沸き上げ運転を開始すると、循環ポンプ22が駆動し、貯湯タンク11下部の水が水冷媒熱交換器20へ流入し、ここで冷媒から水へ熱交換が行われ、水が高温水となって貯湯タンク11へと供給される。この時、貯湯タンク11の内圧が上昇し、逃がし弁13の動作圧力以上になると膨脹水は逃がし弁13から排水され、導管14を通り器具外へと排水される。 First, when boiling the hot water in the hot water storage tank 11, when the boiling operation is started by the operation unit 31 constituted by a remote control device or the like installed in the kitchen or the like, the circulation pump 22 is driven, and the water in the lower part of the hot water storage tank 11 is driven. Flows into the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 20, where heat is exchanged from the refrigerant to the water, and the water becomes hot water and is supplied to the hot water storage tank 11. At this time, when the internal pressure of the hot water storage tank 11 rises and becomes equal to or higher than the operating pressure of the relief valve 13, the expansion water is drained from the relief valve 13 and drained out of the appliance through the conduit 14.
しかし、この沸き上げ運転中に逃し弁13が固着するなどの原因で作動しない事態が生じると貯湯タンク11の内圧は上昇を続け、貯湯タンク11は破損に至る。そこで、貯湯
タンク11の耐圧保護のため、逃し弁13の動作圧力よりも高い動作圧力の缶体保護部材112を沸き上げ回路23に設けて、逃し弁13の作動不良で貯湯タンク11の内圧が異常に上昇すると缶体保護部材112から器具外へと排水して圧力を逃し、貯湯タンク11の破損を防止する。
However, if a situation occurs in which the relief valve 13 is stuck during the boiling operation, the internal pressure of the hot water storage tank 11 continues to rise and the hot water storage tank 11 is damaged. Therefore, to protect the pressure resistance of the hot water storage tank 11, the can body protection member 112 having an operating pressure higher than the operating pressure of the relief valve 13 is provided in the boiling circuit 23, and the internal pressure of the hot water storage tank 11 is increased due to the malfunction of the relief valve 13. If it rises abnormally, it drains out of the appliance from the can body protection member 112 to release the pressure and prevent the hot water storage tank 11 from being damaged.
次に、図2および図3を用いて缶体保護弁12の作動原理について説明する。図2は、止水弁1が開状態で、開口部103が開いている平常運転状態を示し、図3は、缶体保護弁12をネジ3を介して回転前進させた止水弁1の閉状態であり、開口部103が閉じられた状態である。図3に示すような閉状態は、熱源ユニット18の修理交換時などに沸き上げ回路内への水の浸入を停止する時に使用される。 Next, the operation principle of the can body protection valve 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 shows a normal operation state in which the water stop valve 1 is open and the opening 103 is open. FIG. 3 shows the water stop valve 1 in which the can body protection valve 12 is rotated forward via the screw 3. In the closed state, the opening 103 is closed. The closed state as shown in FIG. 3 is used when stopping the intrusion of water into the boiling circuit when the heat source unit 18 is repaired or replaced.
まず、逃し弁13の作動不良で貯湯タンク11の内圧、すなわち沸き上げ回路23の内圧が異常に上昇すると、バネ5の荷重により受圧口6を閉じていた弁ゴム4は、受圧力が増大し受圧口6を開放して、沸き上げ回路23内の圧力を逃し、水を排水口7から排水する。 First, when the internal pressure of the hot water storage tank 11, that is, the internal pressure of the boiling circuit 23 rises abnormally due to the malfunction of the relief valve 13, the pressure received by the valve rubber 4 that has closed the pressure receiving port 6 due to the load of the spring 5 increases. The pressure receiving port 6 is opened, the pressure in the boiling circuit 23 is released, and water is drained from the drain port 7.
そして本実施の形態では、いずれの場合でも受圧口6は、沸き上げ回路23と連通しているため、弁ゴム4は沸き上げ回路23の内圧を受圧して、缶体保護弁12は作動可能となっている。すなわち、開口部103を止水弁1で閉じた時に、第1の循環水路101側(湯水が流れてくる方向)に向けて受圧口6を配設しており、開口部103が開状態であるか、閉状態であるか、どちらの状態であっても、受圧口6で貯湯タンク11内部の異常圧力上昇を感知することができる。 In this embodiment, since the pressure receiving port 6 communicates with the boiling circuit 23 in any case, the valve rubber 4 receives the internal pressure of the boiling circuit 23 and the can body protection valve 12 is operable. It has become. That is, when the opening 103 is closed by the water stop valve 1, the pressure receiving port 6 is arranged toward the first circulation water channel 101 side (the direction in which hot water flows), and the opening 103 is in the open state. In either the closed state or the closed state, an abnormal pressure increase in the hot water storage tank 11 can be detected by the pressure receiving port 6.
次に、熱源ユニット18の修理交換の場合について説明する。図1の熱源ユニット18の修理交換の場合は、給水管21に設けられている止水栓を閉じた後、熱源ユニット18と沸き上げ回路23の接続をはずして交換をするが、貯湯タンク11内の水が大量に漏れて交換作業ができなくなるため、貯湯タンク11側の沸き上げ回路23には止水機能が必要となる。 Next, the case of repair and replacement of the heat source unit 18 will be described. In the case of repair and replacement of the heat source unit 18 in FIG. 1, after closing the stop cock provided in the water supply pipe 21, the heat source unit 18 and the boiling circuit 23 are disconnected and replaced. Since a large amount of water leaks and the replacement work cannot be performed, the boiling circuit 23 on the hot water storage tank 11 side needs a water stop function.
そこで本発明は、図3に示すように、缶体保護弁12の先端に止水弁1を設けて、ネジ3を介して缶体保護弁12を回転前進させることにより、止水弁1が開口部103のテ―パに当接して開口部103の流路を閉じ、貯湯ユニット11からの水漏れを防止し、熱源ユニット18の交換を行うことができる。 Therefore, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, the water stop valve 1 is provided at the tip of the can body protection valve 12, and the can body protection valve 12 is rotated forward through the screw 3.

In addition, it is not necessary to add a new stop cock or to stop the plumbing work for piping work, so that parts can be reduced and the work can be simplified.
また、沸き上げ回路23の開閉いずれの場合でも、受圧口6は沸き上げ回路23(第1の循環水路101)と連通しているため、缶体保護弁12の弁ゴム4は、沸き上げ回路23の内圧を受圧し、異常圧力を逃がすことが可能となり、貯湯タンク11の破損を防止できる。 Further, in any case of opening and closing of the boiling circuit 23, the pressure receiving port 6 communicates with the boiling circuit 23 (first circulation water channel 101), so that the valve rubber 4 of the can body protection valve 12 is heated to the boiling circuit. The internal pressure of 23 can be received and the abnormal pressure can be released, and the hot water storage tank 11 can be prevented from being damaged.
さらに、缶体保護弁12と止水弁1の中心を略同軸上に配置し、缶体保護弁12の先端部に開口部103の開閉を行う止水弁1を設けた構成としたことにより、缶体保護弁12の前進、後退で沸き上げ回路23の開閉を行うことができるため、貯湯タンク11内の圧力を逃がす缶体保護弁12の機能と、熱源ユニット18の修理交換時に水路を閉じるための止水機能の2機能を有しながら、一部品での構成が可能となり、部品点数の削減と部品の小型化を図ることができる。 Further, the center of the can body protection valve 12 and the water stop valve 1 are arranged substantially coaxially, and the water stop valve 1 for opening and closing the opening 103 is provided at the tip of the can body protection valve 12. Since the boiling circuit 23 can be opened and closed by the forward and backward movement of the can body protection valve 12, the function of the can body protection valve 12 that releases the pressure in the hot water storage tank 11 and the water channel when the heat source unit 18 is repaired and replaced. While having two functions of a water stop function for closing, it is possible to configure with one part, and it is possible to reduce the number of parts and downsize parts.

以上のように構成された缶体保護部材について、その作用・効果について説明する。 The operation and effect of the can body protecting member configured as described above will be described.
まず、貯湯タンク11内の湯水を沸き上げる時には、台所等に設置されるリモコン装置などで構成される操作部31で沸き上げ運転を開始すると、循環ポンプ22が駆動し、貯湯タンク11下部の水が水冷媒熱交換器20へ流入し、ここで冷媒から水へ熱交換が行われ、水が高温水となって貯湯タンク11へと供給される。この時、貯湯タンク11の内圧が上昇し、逃がし弁13の動作圧力以上になると膨脹水は逃がし弁13から排水され、導管14を通り器具外へと排水される。 First, when boiling the hot water in the hot water storage tank 11, when the boiling operation is started by the operation unit 31 constituted by a remote control device or the like installed in the kitchen or the like, the circulation pump 22 is driven, and the water in the lower part of the hot water storage tank 11 is driven. Flows into the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 20, where heat is exchanged from the refrigerant to the water, and the water becomes hot water and is supplied to the hot water storage tank 11. At this time, when the internal pressure of the hot water storage tank 11 rises and becomes equal to or higher than the operating pressure of the relief valve 13, the expansion water is drained from the relief valve 13 and drained out of the appliance through the conduit 14.
しかし、この沸き上げ運転中に逃し弁13が固着するなどの原因で作動しない事態が生じると貯湯タンク11の内圧は上昇を続け、貯湯タンク11は破損に至る。そこで、貯湯タンク11の耐圧保護のため、逃し弁13の動作圧力よりも高い動作圧力の缶体保護部材112を沸き上げ回路23に設けて、逃し弁13の作動不良で貯湯タンク11の内圧が異常に上昇すると缶体保護部材112から器具外へと排水して圧力を逃し、貯湯タンク11の破損を防止する。 However, if a situation occurs in which the relief valve 13 is stuck during the boiling operation, the internal pressure of the hot water storage tank 11 continues to rise and the hot water storage tank 11 is damaged. Therefore, to protect the pressure resistance of the hot water storage tank 11, the can body protection member 112 having an operating pressure higher than the operating pressure of the relief valve 13 is provided in the boiling circuit 23, and the internal pressure of the hot water storage tank 11 is increased due to the malfunction of the relief valve 13. If it rises abnormally, it drains out of the appliance from the can body protection member 112 to release the pressure and prevent the hot water storage tank 11 from being damaged.
次に、図4〜図6を用いて缶体保護弁12の作動原理について説明する。図4は、止水弁1が開状態で取水弁10が閉状態となる図を示し、図5は、止水弁1が開状態で取水弁10が開状態となる図を示し、図6は、止水弁1が閉状態で取水弁10が開状態となる図を示している。 Next, the operating principle of the can body protection valve 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 shows a view in which the water intake valve 1 is open and the water intake valve 10 is in a closed state, and FIG. 5 shows a view in which the water intake valve 1 is in an open state and the water intake valve 10 is in an open state. These figures show a view in which the water stop valve 1 is closed and the water intake valve 10 is open.
まず、逃し弁13の作動不良で貯湯タンク11の内圧、すなわち沸き上げ回路23の内圧が異常に上昇すると、バネ5の荷重により受圧口6を閉じていた弁ゴム4は、受圧力が増大し受圧口6を開放して、沸き上げ回路23内の圧力を逃し、水を排水口7から排水する。 First, when the internal pressure of the hot water storage tank 11, that is, the internal pressure of the boiling circuit 23 rises abnormally due to the malfunction of the relief valve 13, the pressure received by the valve rubber 4 that has closed the pressure receiving port 6 due to the load of the spring 5 increases. The pressure receiving port 6 is opened, the pressure in the boiling circuit 23 is released, and water is drained from the drain port 7.
そして本実施の形態では、いずれの場合でも受圧口6は、沸き上げ回路23と連通しているため、弁ゴム4は沸き上げ回路23の内圧を受圧して、缶体保護弁12は作動可能となっている。すなわち、開口部103を止水弁1で閉じた時に、第1の循環水路101側(湯水が流れてくる方向)に向けて受圧口6を配設しており、開口部103が開状態であるか、閉状態であるか、どちらの状態であっても、受圧口6で貯湯タンク11内部の異常圧力上昇を感知することができる。 In this embodiment, since the pressure receiving port 6 communicates with the boiling circuit 23 in any case, the valve rubber 4 receives the internal pressure of the boiling circuit 23 and the can body protection valve 12 is operable. It has become. That is, when the opening 103 is closed by the water stop valve 1, the pressure receiving port 6 is arranged toward the first circulation water channel 101 side (the direction in which hot water flows), and the opening 103 is in the open state. In either the closed state or the closed state, an abnormal pressure increase in the hot water storage tank 11 can be detected by the pressure receiving port 6.
次に、熱源ユニット18の修理交換の場合について説明する。図1の熱源ユニット18の修理交換の場合は、給水管21に設けられている止水栓を閉じた後、熱源ユニット18と沸き上げ回路23の接続をはずして交換をするが、貯湯タンク11内の水が大量に漏れて交換作業ができなくなるため、貯湯タンク11側の沸き上げ回路23には止水機能が必要となる。 Next, the case of repair and replacement of the heat source unit 18 will be described. In the case of repair and replacement of the heat source unit 18 in FIG. 1, after closing the stop cock provided in the water supply pipe 21, the heat source unit 18 and the boiling circuit 23 are disconnected and replaced. Since a large amount of water leaks and the replacement work cannot be performed, the boiling circuit 23 on the hot water storage tank 11 side needs a water stop function.
そこで本発明は、図3に示すように、取水弁ボデー15の先端に止水弁1を設けて、ネジ部108を介して取水弁ボデー15を回転前進させることにより、止水弁1が開口部103のテ―パに当接して開口部103の流路を閉じ、貯湯ユニット11からの水漏れを防止し、熱源ユニット18の交換を行うことができる。 Therefore, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, the water stop valve 1 is opened by providing the water stop valve 1 at the tip of the water intake valve body 15 and rotating the water intake valve body 15 forward through the screw portion 108. The flow path of the opening 103 is closed by abutting against the taper of the section 103, water leakage from the hot water storage unit 11 can be prevented, and the heat source unit 18 can be replaced.
次に断水時などの緊急時に、貯湯タンク11の湯水を生活用水として使用する取水機能について説明する。 Next, a water intake function for using hot water in the hot water storage tank 11 as domestic water in an emergency such as when water is cut off will be described.
図4と図5は、止水弁1が開いた状態を示し、図6は修理時など止水弁1が閉じた状態を示す。平常時の場合は、図4に示すように、缶体保護弁12の先端に配設している取水弁10は、取水弁ボデー15の先端内壁に当接して閉じた常態で使用されている。そして取水弁ボデー15の先端内壁で、かつ取水弁10が当接する箇所はテーパ形状となっているので、取水弁ボデー15と取水弁10とが当接しやすくなっている。 4 and 5 show a state in which the water stop valve 1 is opened, and FIG. 6 shows a state in which the water stop valve 1 is closed during repair. In the normal state, as shown in FIG. 4, the intake valve 10 disposed at the tip of the can body protection valve 12 is used in a closed state in contact with the inner wall of the tip of the intake valve body 15. . And since the location which the water intake valve 10 contact | abuts in the front-end | tip inner wall of the water intake valve body 15 becomes a taper shape, the water intake valve body 15 and the water intake valve 10 contact easily.
そして、緊急時に貯湯タンク11から湯水を取り出したいときは、図5に示すように、缶体保護弁12を回転後退させ、その結果、取水弁10が取水弁ボデー15の先端内壁に当接している常態から、取水弁10と取水弁ボデー15の先端内壁との距離が徐々に開いていく。 Then, when it is desired to take out hot water from the hot water storage tank 11 in an emergency, as shown in FIG. 5, the can body protection valve 12 is rotated and retracted. As a result, the intake valve 10 comes into contact with the inner wall at the front end of the intake valve body 15. From the normal state, the distance between the intake valve 10 and the inner wall of the tip of the intake valve body 15 gradually opens.
そうすると、貯湯タンク11の底部から沸き上げ回路23を通った湯水は、開口部103を通り、さらに連通口9を通り、缶体保護弁ボデー106の外周から取水口8を通って、排水口7から取水することができる。一方、缶体保護弁12の回転後退時には、取水弁ボデー15はストッパー18により位置が固定されているため、缶体保護弁12のみが後退する。 Then, the hot water passing through the boiling circuit 23 from the bottom of the hot water storage tank 11 passes through the opening 103, further through the communication port 9, passes through the water intake 8 from the outer periphery of the can body protection valve body 106, and then enters the drain 7 Water can be taken from. On the other hand, since the position of the intake valve body 15 is fixed by the stopper 18 when the can body protection valve 12 is rotated backward, only the can body protection valve 12 is retracted.
また、図6に示すように、開口部103が止水弁1で閉じた状態であっても、缶体保護弁12を回転後退させることによって、連通口9および取水口8を通って、缶体保護弁ボデー106の排水口7から取水することができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 6, even when the opening 103 is closed by the water stop valve 1, the can body protection valve 12 is rotated and retracted to pass through the communication port 9 and the water intake port 8. Water can be taken from the drain port 7 of the body protection valve body 106.
さらに、缶体保護弁12と取水弁10及び止水弁1の中心を略同軸上に配置し、缶体保護弁12の先端部に貯湯タンク11内の水を取水できる取水弁10を設けると共に、取水弁10の外側に沸き上げ回路23の開閉を行う止水弁1を設けた構成としたことにより、缶体保護弁12の前進、後退で取水弁10の開閉を行い、取水弁10の外側に設けた止水弁1の前進、後退で沸き上げ回路23の開閉を行うことができ、簡単な構成で一部品に、缶体保護機能と、取水機能と、止水機能の3機能を備えることができ、部品点数の削減と部品の小型化を図ることができる。 Furthermore, the can body protection valve 12, the intake valve 10, and the center of the water stop valve 1 are arranged substantially coaxially, and a water intake valve 10 capable of taking water in the hot water storage tank 11 is provided at the tip of the can body protection valve 12. Since the water stop valve 1 for opening and closing the boiling circuit 23 is provided outside the water intake valve 10, the water intake valve 10 is opened and closed by the forward and backward movement of the can body protection valve 12. The boiling circuit 23 can be opened and closed by the forward and backward movement of the water stop valve 1 provided on the outside. The can body protection function, the water intake function, and the water stop function are provided as a single part with a simple configuration. The number of components can be reduced and the size of the components can be reduced.
また、沸き上げ回路23の開閉いずれの場合でも、受圧口6は沸き上げ回路23(第1の循環水路101)と連通しているため、缶体保護弁12の弁ゴム4は、沸き上げ回路23の内圧を受圧し、異常圧力を逃がすことが可能となり、貯湯タンク11の破損を防止できる。 Further, in any case of opening and closing of the boiling circuit 23, the pressure receiving port 6 communicates with the boiling circuit 23 (first circulation water channel 101), so that the valve rubber 4 of the can body protection valve 12 is heated to the boiling circuit. The internal pressure of 23 can be received and the abnormal pressure can be released, and the hot water storage tank 11 can be prevented from being damaged.
