Description

Device for instant obtaining of Hot water.

Object of the invention

The invention, as expressed in the statement of The present specification refers to a device for Instant hot water collection, which contributes to the function to which several advantages and innovative features are destined, which They will be described in detail later.

More specifically, the object of the invention consists of a device intended to allow the obtaining hot water immediately when you open the tap the shower is usually installed, so that it achieves great water savings and comfort is gained, as it avoids the waiting time until the water comes out hot as well as its waste.

Background of the invention

Currently and as a reference to the state of the technique, it should be mentioned that, by the petitioner, ignores the existence of any other invention that presents some technical, structural and configuration features similar, to the ones presented here.

Explanation of the invention.

Specifically, the device that the invention proposes, is configured as an obvious novelty within its field of application, providing significant advantages, since takes advantage of the installation of existing pipes for performance development, getting hot water Instantly at the time of opening the tap and avoiding the waste of up to 10 liters that are usually lost with a conventional installation, since there is usually quite a distance  from the water heater to the bathroom.

Specifically, the device that proposes only has a special heater, which could be both of gas as electric, which incorporates, at the outlet of the water hot, an electric water pump, which is used to create a  closed water circuit with one way through the water pipe hot and return through the cold water pipe, having a flow enough to activate the ignition of the thermos.

For its part, the tap or mixer of the room of bath to use, to be incorporates an electrical circuit powered by a 9V battery which, activated by a button located in him, sending a radio frequency signal to an intended receiver in the thermos This receiver, with electrical connection to the network, will activate the mentioned pump causing the circulation of water in the above closed circuit whose pressure, in turn, will activate the thermo heating said water to the desired temperature, controlled through a thermostat that will cut off the supply of pump current

The aforementioned circuit provided in the tap It also incorporates a LED type diode, for example red, which will indicate that the appropriate temperature has been reached in the closed circuit between the tap and the thermos, to be able to open the tap and get hot water instantly, being able to incorporate another LED, for example green, at the beginning.

It is important to note that in the invention the tap will be a special tap with three positions: a first return position, which would communicate the hot water inlet, cold back and forth; a second intermediate position, in the that would not have round-trip communication as well as the output (neutral); and a third normal position of a mixer tap, for when the output is used interchangeably of hot and cold water.

It should be noted that the described device counts also with protective measures, pressure valve and thermal security, etc. according to current regulations.

The described invention is apt to be installed in any bathroom, especially useful result at ski resort facilities, hotels, apartments, rural houses, and similar locations where, due to the low temperatures, pipes freeze easily, becoming necessary this innovation to avoid the problems that this causes, therefore achieving a great saving in repairs as well as an improvement in comfort by getting hot water in the time to open the tap.

The new device for obtaining hot water snapshot therefore represents a innovative structure of structural features and constitutives unknown so far for that purpose, reasons that together with its practical utility, provide it with sufficient foundation to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive, as an integral part of it, of a game of planes, in which with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, represented the following:

Figure number 1.- Shows a scheme representative of an example of installation of the new device object of the invention, in which the main ones are appreciated parts and elements of which it consists, as well as the disposition of same.

Figures number 2 and 3.- Show paths front and section views of the tap, appreciating the circuit electric and other elements incorporated inside.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the aforementioned figures, and of according to the numbering adopted, you can see in them a preferred embodiment of the invention, which includes the parts and elements that are indicated and described in detail below.

Thus, as seen in Figure 1, the device in question has a thermos (1), which could be both gas as electric, being gas in the example shown, with a gas inlet (16) to the burner (17) and a coil (18), which is connected so conventional with a tap (2), in this single-lever type of three positions, by means of a cold water line (3), connected to the general socket (4), and a hot water line (5) to give water to a shower (19).

Said thermos (1), and in a characterizing way, incorporates, at the outlet of hot water (5), an electric pump of water (6), by which a closed water circuit is created with one way through the hot water pipe (5) and return through the cold water pipe (3), having a sufficient flow for turn on the thermos (1).

For its part, as seen in the Figures 2 and 3, the tap (2), which will preferably be of type single lever, incorporates, properly housed inside and provided with a waterproof cover that can be used by corresponding screws (22), an electric circuit (7) powered by a 9V battery (8) which, activated by a button (9) located on it, sends a radio frequency signal to a receiver (10) provided in the thermos (1).

This receiver (10), with electrical connection (11) to the network, it will activate the mentioned pump (6), to which it is located connected through the corresponding wiring (12), causing the water circulation in the above closed circuit, whose pressure, in turn, will activate the thermos (1) by heating said water until the desired temperature

This temperature, which will have been previously established, it is controlled by a thermostat (13) which, when reaching it will cut off the power supply to the pump (6).

The aforementioned electrical circuit (7) provided in the tap (2) it also incorporates a diode (14) type LED, by red example, which will indicate that the adequate temperature in the closed circuit between the tap (2) and the thermos (1), to be able to open the tap and obtain hot water at instant, being able to incorporate another LED (15), for example of color Green, at the beginning.

It should be noted that the tap (2) will be a tap special with three positions, as mentioned: one first return position, which would communicate the entrance of the hot water conduction (5) with cold water conduction (3) round trip; a second intermediate position, in which no would have round-trip communication between those conduits, as well as the outlet (neutral); and a third normal position of a mixer tap, for when the regardless of cold and hot water.

Finally, it should be noted that the device described has the necessary protection measures, valve pressure (20) and thermal safety (21), etc. According to Norms valid.

Describe sufficiently the nature of the The present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, is not considers it necessary to extend its explanation so that any subject matter expert understands its scope and advantages that derive from it, stating that, within its essentiality, may be implemented in other forms of embodiment that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example, and which will also achieve the protection that collects as long as it does not alter, change or modify its principle fundamental.
