(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a water heat source generator device, and more particularly to a heat source generator device that uses friction between air and water to generate a heat source, thereby achieving energy conservation and environmental protection.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
General home hot water systems, such as water heaters, normally use gas as a fuel, or use electric power as a heating source. However, the increasing consumption of global energy resources has brought about the continuous emergence of crises, and thus policies involving energy saving, carbon reduction and the development of alternative energy sources have been actively proposed for modern lifestyles. Furthermore, large-scale hot water generators generally used in public areas such as hotels and the like or factories, and so on, normally use heating of large-scale boilers to produce and supply communal heating during the winter and a hot water system. However, because the amount of hot water supplied is extremely large, thus, the coal, gas fuel or electric power used is even more substantial. Hence, in actual tests, not only are energy resources wasted, moreover, environmental protection is inadequate and operating safety is poor, and is thus in need of further improvement. In light of this, the inventor of the present invention, having accumulated years of experience in related arts, and through continuous research and experimentation, has developed a non-boiler heat source generator device to achieve the objectives of energy saving and environmental protection.
A primary objective of the present invention is to provide a water heat source generator device that uses a process by which friction is caused between air and water to produce air bubbles of microscopic water molecules during the process of feeding the water, at which time a heat source is generated when the air bubbles instantaneously burst, thereby achieving the objectives of energy saving and environmental protection.
The aforementioned water heat source generator device primarily comprises an airtight water storage tank, a feeding structure linked to the water storage tank, and a guide-in structure connected to the feeding structure and the water storage tank. In which, the water storage tank enables normal passing in and out of water, and the feeding structure enables water to be drawn from the water storage tank.
Before the water enters the feeding structure, the guide-in structure guides in gas, such as hydrogen, oxygen or common air, and high speed rotation is used to cause friction between the gas and the water, thereby effecting an approximately cavitation phenomenon to generate a heat source, whereupon the heat source is carried to a decompression structure along with the water to produce air bubbles of microscopic water molecules, at which time a burst temperature is generated when the air bubbles instantaneously burst, and the aforementioned generated heat source diffuses into the water storage tank for continuous circulation thereof to achieve production of hot water.
The feeding structure of the aforementioned water heat source generator device is a pump.
A supersonic oscillator is installed in the bottom portion of the water storage tank of the aforementioned water heat source generator device, and vibration of the supersonic oscillator is used to accelerate bursting of the air bubbles, thereby improving heat energy efficiency.
A water level detection element connected to a an inlet valve is located in the water storage tank ff the aforementioned water heat source generator device, thereby enabling the inlet valve to be opened to make up the volume of water when the water level is lower than a set value.
A temperature detection element is located in the water storage tank of the aforementioned water heat source generator device to enable detecting the temperature of the water, and thereby enable closing the feeding structure when the water temperature rises above a set value to achieve energy saving effectiveness. Moreover, when the water temperature falls below a set value, then the feeding structure is reactivated to heat up the water to maintain the water temperature of the water storage tank.
To enable a further understanding of said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, a brief description of the drawings is provided below followed by a detailed description of the preferred embodiments.

The guide-in structure 3 is fitted with a pipe body 31, and pointed inclines 311, 312 are symmetrically configured within the pipe body 31. Moreover, the pipe body 31 is fitted with an ascending pipe 313 corresponding to the position of the outlet end of the inclines 311, 312, thereby forming a through state between the ascending pipe 313 and the interior of the pipe body 31. Accordingly, the ascending pipe 313 is able to guide in gas, and symmetrically located blocking walls 314 in front of the inclines 311, 312 form a gap which causes water to flow therethrough after entering the structure via the inclines 311, 312. The ascending pipe 313 of the guide-in structure 3 is fitted with a regulating valve 315 and a check valve 316, wherein the regulating valve 315 is used to adjust the flow rate of gas to prevent an excessive input of gas, while the check valve 316 is used to prevent back flow of water to the ascending pipe 313.
The decompression structure 4 is internally fitted with baffles 41 spaced at intervals to form a turbulent region. An upper edge of the decompression structure 4 is fitted with a pipe body 42, which is internally equipped with a wall surface 43. The wall surface 43 is provided with a plurality of through holes 431, and a screw 44 protrudes from the center of the wall surface 43. The screw 44 connects to a disc 45, which enables a suitable gap to be formed between the disc 45 and the inner surface of the pipe body 42, which further enables water entering the through holes 431 to flow out through the gap and thereby realize a decompression effect. The top edge of the decompression structure 4 is fitted with an air release valve 46.
Structural combination of the aforementioned components enables configuring a heat generator device, in which the feeding structure 2 is used to draw out water from the water storage tank 1, but before the water enters the feeding structure 2, the guide-in structure 3 is used to guide in gas, such as hydrogen, oxygen or common air, after which high speed rotation of the feeding structure 2 is used to cause friction between the gas and water, creating a gas-fluid mixture, thereby effecting an approximately cavitation phenomenon that generates a heat source. The heat source is carried along with the water into the decompression structure 4, whereupon the irregular turbulent flow effect of the baffles 41 and decompression effect of the through holes 431 in the wall surface 43 within the pipe body 42 and the disc 45 cause the water to form air bubbles of microscopic water molecules (nano-scale air bubbles), which are returned to the water storage tank 1. In which, during the process of guiding in gas, the regulating valve 315 is used to adjust the flow rate of the gas to prevent excessive input of the gas and cause a cavitation phenomena in the feeding structure 2 resulting in damage thereto.
The intense impact and compression undergone by the aforementioned water molecules in the decompression structure 4 causes the water to form air bubbles of microscopic water molecules provided with a burst temperature. Moreover, physical heat is produced when the air bubbles instantaneously burst (similar to the instantaneous production of high temperature when firecrackers explode), thereby enabling continuous circulation of the heat source diffusing into the water storage tank 1, and achieving production of hot water. Accordingly, a circuitous water pipe connected to the water storage tank 1 enables effecting a heating stove, which may be used as a facility in locations such as hotels, community heating units, hot water supply units, and the like, thereby saving on energy, or may be implemented in kitchen sinks of general homes, or in spray gun structures to achieve the washing effectiveness similar to steam, or may also be used to achieve sterilizing, cleaning of pipelines in factories, as well as use in agricultural soil sterilization.
