Real-time salt quantity monitoring type water softener and monitoring method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a real-time salt quantity monitoring type water softener and a monitoring method thereof. The water softener comprises a water softener body, a salt box, a controller and a salt level sensor. The salt box and the controller are both mounted in the water softener body, and the salt level sensor is mounted at the top of the salt box and electrically connected with the controller and is used for detecting a distance h between a position of the salt level sensor and a salt level in the salt box. A reminding module is used for displaying current residual salt volume V to allow a user to timely know the current residual salt volume V. Since reminding is not only performed under a no-salt condition, the user can timely and conveniently replenish salt to avoid the problem of influences on normal use of the water softener which fails to soften hard water due to lack of salt.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water softeners, in particular to a water softener capable of real-time monitoring of salt content and a monitoring method thereof. Background technique [0002] Household water softeners are equipped with sodium-type cation exchange resins, which have soft mineral sodium on the ion exchange resins. When the resin is in its new state, these charge exchange sites are occupied by positively charged sodium ions. When the water containing calcium and magnesium ions passes through the resin filter barrel, after ion exchange, the calcium and magnesium ions are adsorbed on the resin in the water softener to reduce the hardness of the water. When all resins are fully adsorbed with calcium and magnesium ions, hard water softening can no longer be performed, and reduction and regeneration treatment is required. Sodium chloride is provided by the salt box to form saturated concentrated brine for reduction and regen...

Problems solved by technology

The pressing and popping up of the seesaw generates a switch signal to judge whether the salt in the salt tank is used up; the remaining salt in the salt tank cannot be detected in real time, and the user cannot be reminded to replenish salt in advance, and the water softener cannot soften after salt shortage Hard water affects the normal use of users; moreover, the rocker is easily stuck by large salt particles or other foreign objects and cannot be returned, which makes the salt deficiency detection function invalid
