The raw water enters the water channel adapter plate 38 from the water inlet section 811, is filtered by the composite filter element 31 and the reverse osmosis filter element 32, and then flows from the water channel adapter plate 38 into the water outlet section 812, and finally outputs pure water to the outside.

[0051] In detail, the water channel branch includes a first water inlet branch 383, a first water outlet branch 384, a second water inlet branch 385, a second water outlet branch 386 and a waste water passage 387, and the water outlet end of the waste water passage 387 is connected to the water inlet end of the waste water branch 82. The first plug group 381 includes a first plug 3811 connected to the first water inlet branch 383, a second plug 3812 connected to the water inlet end of the first water outlet branch 384, a third plug 3813 connected to the water outlet end of the second water inlet branch 385, and a fourth plug 3814 connected to the water inlet end of the second water outlet branch 386. The second plug group 382 includes a fifth plug 3821 connected to the water outlet end of the first water outlet branch 384, a sixth plug 3822 connected to the water inlet end of the second water inlet branch 385, and a seventh plug 3823 connected to the water inlet end of the waste water passage 387.

[0052] The composite filter element 31 is provided with four jacks, which are respectively connected to the first plug 3811, the second plug 3812, the third plug 3813 and the fourth plug 3814 in a detachable manner.

The reverse osmosis filter element 32 is connected to the wastewater branch 82 through the wastewater passage 387.

[0053] In this embodiment, Figure 5As shown, in the process of cleaning the composite filter element 31 and the reverse osmosis filter element 32, the flow path of the raw water is the water inlet section 811, the first water inlet branch 383, the first plug 3811, the pre-filter element, the second plug 3812, the first water outlet branch 384, the fifth plug 3821, the reverse osmosis filter element 32, the seventh plug 3823, the waste water passage 387, the waste water branch 82, and the waste water after flushing the reverse osmosis filter element 32 is discharged through the waste water branch 82. The above raw water flow sequence can fully flush the reverse osmosis filter element 32. It should be noted that in the process of cleaning the composite filter element 31 and the reverse osmosis filter element 32, the flow of raw water also includes another flow path, which is the water inlet section 811, the first water inlet branch 383, the first plug 3811, the pre-filter element, the second plug 3812, the first water outlet branch 384, the fifth plug 3821, the reverse osmosis filter element 32, the sixth plug 3822, the second water inlet branch 385, the third plug 3813, the post-filter element, the fourth plug 3814, the second water outlet branch 386, and the waste water after flushing the reverse osmosis filter element 32 is discharged through the second water outlet branch 386 and the flushing branch 83.

This can more completely remove impurities attached to the pre-filter, post-filter and reverse osmosis filter, improving the thoroughness of cleaning. Water flows in different paths can produce different flushing directions and intensities, forming multi-angle impacts on impurities, improving the thoroughness of cleaning.

[0054] Please combine Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the pre-filter element is provided with a jack that cooperates with the first plug 3811 and the second plug 3812, and the post-filter element is provided with a jack that cooperates with the third plug 3813 and the fourth plug 3814. When the composite filter element 31 is installed in the first installation position, the pre-filter element is connected to the first water inlet branch 383 and the first water outlet branch 384 through the first plug 3811 and the second plug 3812 respectively, and the post-filter element is connected to the second water inlet branch 385 and the second water outlet branch 386 through the third plug 3813 and the fourth plug 3814 respectively, so that the pre-filter element is connected to the water inlet section 811 through the first water inlet branch 383, and is connected to the reverse osmosis filter element 32 through the first water outlet branch 384, and the post-filter element is connected to the reverse osmosis filter element 32 through the second water inlet branch 385, and is connected to the water outlet section 812 through the second water outlet branch 386.

[0055] During the water production process of the water supply device 1, the flow path of the raw water is the water inlet section 811, the first water inlet branch 383, the first plug 3811, the pre-filter, the second plug 3812, the first water outlet branch 384, the fifth plug 3821, and the reverse osmosis filter 32.

The pure water passes through the sixth plug 3822, the second water inlet branch 385, the third plug 3813, the post-filter, the fourth plug 3814, the second water outlet branch 386, and the water outlet section 812 in sequence, and the waste water is discharged from the waste water port of the reverse osmosis filter 32 through the seventh plug 3823, the waste water passage 387, and the waste water branch 82. That is, the raw water first passes through the pre-filter for the first filtration, then passes through the reverse osmosis filter 32 for the second filtration, and then passes through the post-filter for the third filtration, and the pure water generated is finally output through the water outlet section 812.

[0056] In this embodiment, please combine Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, by setting a flushing branch 83, when flushing the reverse osmosis filter element 32, the post filter element and the pure water outlet of the reverse osmosis filter element 32 can also be flushed, that is, the flushing path is the water inlet section 811, the first water inlet branch 383, the first plug 3811, the pre-filter element, the second plug 3812, the first water outlet branch 384, the fifth plug 3821, the reverse osmosis filter element 32, the sixth plug 3822, the second water inlet branch 385, the third plug 3813, the post filter element, the fourth plug 3814, the second water outlet branch 386, and the flushing branch 83, and the waste water after flushing the reverse osmosis filter element 32 is discharged through the flushing branch 83.

[0057] Furthermore, the water supply device 1 further includes a first one-way valve 34, a second one-way valve 35, a first water tank 20, a second water tank 12 and a self-priming pump 310. The first one-way valve 34 is arranged on the second water inlet branch, and the first one-way valve 34 is unidirectionally conducted in the direction from the reverse osmosis filter element 32 to the post-filter element. The pure water filtered by the reverse osmosis filter element 32 flows from the pure water outlet of the reverse osmosis filter element 32 into the second water inlet branch 385 and then flows into the post-filter element through the first one-way valve 34 and the third plug 3813. The second one-way valve 35 is arranged on the flushing branch 83, and the second one-way valve 35 is unidirectionally conducted in the direction from the second water outlet branch 386 to the second water tank 12.

The self-priming pump 310 is arranged in the water inlet section 811 and is used to drive the water in the water inlet section 811 to flow from the water inlet of the water inlet section 811 to the first water inlet branch 383. In the process of flushing the pure water outlet of the reverse osmosis filter element 32, the second one-way valve 35 can prevent the water containing impurities after flushing the reverse osmosis filter element 32 from flowing back from the second water tank 12 to the second water outlet branch 386 and the water outlet section 812, so as to prevent the water outlet section 812 and the first water tank 20 connected to the water outlet section 812 from being polluted.

[0058] Furthermore, the water supply device 1 further includes a first solenoid valve 36, a second solenoid valve 37 and a wastewater valve 821, wherein the first solenoid valve 36 is arranged at the water outlet section 812, the second solenoid valve 37 is arranged at the flushing branch 83, and the wastewater valve 821 is arranged at the wastewater branch 82. The first solenoid valve 36 and the second solenoid valve 37 respectively control the connection or closing of the water outlet section 812 and the flushing branch 83, thereby controlling the path of water flow. The wastewater valve 821 controls the water flow of the wastewater branch 82 by controlling the size of its own opening.

[0059] In detail, in the process of cleaning the pre-filter and the reverse osmosis filter 32, in the path of flushing the reverse osmosis filter 32 through the wastewater branch 82, the first solenoid valve 36 and the second solenoid valve 37 are closed, and the wastewater valve 821 increases its opening.

The wastewater after flushing the reverse osmosis filter 32 is discharged through the wastewater branch 82.

[0060] In the path of flushing the reverse osmosis filter element 32 and the post-filter element using the flushing branch 83, the first solenoid valve 36 is closed, the second solenoid valve 37 is opened, and the wastewater valve 821 is reduced to the minimum opening. At this time, the flow path of the raw water is, in sequence, the water inlet section 811, the first water inlet branch 383, the first plug 3811, the pre-filter element, the second plug 3812, the first water outlet branch 384, the fifth plug 3821, the reverse osmosis filter element 32, the sixth plug 3822, the second water inlet branch 385, the third plug 3813, the post-filter element, the fourth plug 3814, the second water outlet branch 386, and the flushing branch 83. The wastewater after flushing the reverse osmosis filter element 32 is discharged through the flushing branch 83.

[0061] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, the water supply equipment 1 also includes a first TDS probe 391 and a second TDS probe 392, the first TDS probe 391 is arranged in the first water inlet branch 383, and the second TDS probe 392 is arranged in the second water outlet branch 386. The first TDS probe 391 is used to detect the inlet TDS of the raw water in the first water inlet branch 383, and the second TDS probe 392 is used to detect the outlet TDS of the pure water in the second water outlet branch 386. According to the inlet TDS and outlet TDS detected by the first TDS probe 391 and the second TDS probe 392, it can be known whether the desalination rate of the pure water in the outlet waterway channel meets the standard. Among them, TDS is the abbreviation of Total Dissolved Solids, and its full name in Chinese is "total dissolved solids", also known as the total amount of dissolved solids. TDS refers to the total amount of all solutes in water, including the content of both inorganic and organic matter. TDS mainly reflects the concentration of calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and other ions in water and the total amount of dissolved solids in water.

[0062] Understandably, when the first TDS probe 391 and the second TDS probe 392 detect that the outlet water desalination rate is not up to standard, the second solenoid valve 37 is opened, the first solenoid valve 36 is closed, and the water in the second outlet branch 386 flows to the flushing branch 83, and finally flows back to the second water tank 12 or is directly discharged as waste water through the wastewater direct discharge pipe. When the first TDS probe 391 and the second TDS probe 392 detect that the outlet water desalination rate is up to standard, the second solenoid valve 37 is closed, the first solenoid valve 36 is opened, and the water in the second outlet branch 386 flows to the outlet section 812 and is stored in the first water tank 20 for user use.

[0063] For details, please combine Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, when the composite filter element 31 is installed in the first installation part and the water supply device 1 is in the process of making water, the raw water in the second water tank 12 flows into the first water inlet branch 383 through the water inlet section 811. At this time, the first TDS probe 391 detects the inlet TDS of the raw water. The raw water enters the pre-filter element through the first plug 3811, flows into the first water outlet branch 384 from the second plug 3812 after being roughly filtered by the pre-filter element, and then enters the reverse osmosis filter element 32 through the fifth plug 3821. After being filtered by the reverse osmosis filter element 32, one path of pure water and one path of waste water are divided. The pure water flows from the water outlet of the reverse osmosis filter element through the sixth plug 3822 into the second water inlet branch 385, and then flows into the post-filter element through the first one-way valve 34 and the third plug 3813 for re-filtration. The re-filtered pure water flows into the second water outlet branch 386 through the fourth plug 3814. At this time, the second TDS probe 392 detects the outlet TDS of the pure water. After the outlet water desalination rate reaches the standard, the second solenoid valve 37 is closed, the first solenoid valve 36 is opened, the water in the second outlet branch 386 flows to the outlet section 812, and the water in the outlet section 812 flows and is stored in the first water tank 20. When the first TDS probe 391 and the second TDS probe 392 detect that the outlet water desalination rate does not reach the standard, the second solenoid valve 37 is opened, the first solenoid valve 36 is closed, and the pure water in the second outlet branch 386 flows through the flushing branch 83 and sequentially passes through the second check valve 35 and the second solenoid valve 37 into the second water tank 12, or is directly discharged as waste water through the waste water direct discharge pipe. The waste water filtered by the reverse osmosis filter element 32 is directly discharged from the waste water outlet through the seventh plug 3823 and the waste water branch 82, and then through the waste water valve 821 to the second water tank 12, or is directly discharged as waste water through the waste water direct discharge pipe.

[0064] When the user takes drinking water, the outlet TDS will increase with the increase of water taking time due to the reflux of wastewater. Therefore, it is designed that when the user takes drinking water for a certain time, the wastewater direct discharge program is started, that is, the normal water production state is maintained, the second solenoid valve 37 is opened, the first solenoid valve 36 is closed, and the wastewater in the flushing branch 83 and the wastewater branch 82 is directly discharged through the wastewater direct discharge pipeline, and does not enter the second water tank 12. The outlet TDS can be restored to the initial level in a short time, and the impact on the drinking water flux is small.

[0065] It can be understood that the total dissolved solids data detected by the first TDS probe 391 is the total dissolved solids data of the raw water in the second water tank.

[0066] The present invention also provides a method for cleaning a water supply device, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the cleaning method comprises the following steps:

[0067] Step S101: obtaining a cleaning start instruction;

[0068] Step S102: Control the water inlet section, water branch, wastewater branch and flushing branch passages according to the cleaning instruction to flush the pre-filter element, reverse osmosis filter element and post-filter element;

[0069] Step S103: ending the flushing when the flushing time reaches a first preset time.

[0070] In step S101, the cleaning start instruction can be manually triggered by the user, for example, by sending an instruction through a button on the device, a control panel or a remote control terminal, or the device itself can automatically trigger the cleaning program according to conditions such as a preset time interval, water quality test results, etc.

[0071] In step S102, after receiving the cleaning start instruction, the water supply equipment starts the flushing step. Specifically, a clean water source is introduced into the water inlet section to provide sufficient water flow for the flushing process. The water branch distributes the water flow to different filter elements in turn for flushing. For the pre-filter element, the water flow can flush away large particles of impurities and sediments. For the reverse osmosis filter element, the water flow can remove dirt and blockages on the membrane surface. For the post-filter element, the water flow can clean away odor substances and microorganisms that may be adsorbed.

[0072] In detail, during the process of cleaning the composite filter element 31 and the reverse osmosis filter element 32, the flow path of the raw water is, in sequence, the water inlet section 811, the first water inlet branch 383, the first plug 3811, the pre-filter element, the second plug 3812, the first water outlet branch 384, the fifth plug 3821, the reverse osmosis filter element 32, the seventh plug 3823, the wastewater passage 387, and the wastewater branch 82. The wastewater after flushing the reverse osmosis filter element 32 is discharged through the wastewater branch 82. The above raw water flow sequence can fully flush the wastewater outlets of the pre-filter element and the reverse osmosis filter element 32. It should be noted that in the process of cleaning the composite filter element 31 and the reverse osmosis filter element 32, the flow of raw water also includes another flow path, which is the water inlet section 811, the first water inlet branch 383, the first plug 3811, the pre-filter element, the second plug 3812, the first water outlet branch 384, the fifth plug 3821, the reverse osmosis filter element 32, the sixth plug 3822, the second water inlet branch 385, the third plug 3813, the post-filter element, the fourth plug 3814, the second water outlet branch 386, and the waste water after flushing the reverse osmosis filter element 32 is discharged through the second water outlet branch 386 and the flushing branch 83. The above raw water flow sequence can fully flush the pure water outlets of the post-filter element and the reverse osmosis filter element 32. In this way, the pre-filter element, the post-filter element and the reverse osmosis filter element 32 can be flushed from two different paths to enhance the flushing effect. By precisely controlling the passage of these branches, comprehensive and efficient flushing of each filter element can be achieved.

[0073] In step S103, the first preset time is pre-set according to the characteristics and cleaning requirements of different filter elements. During the flushing process, the device will monitor the flushing time in real time. When the flushing time reaches the first preset time, the device automatically stops flushing and returns to the normal filtering working state. The first preset time can be set to any value between 2min and 10min, for example, 2min, 3min, 4min, 5min, 6min, 7min, 8min, 9min, 10min, etc. In this embodiment, the first preset time is set to 5min.

[0074] According to the cleaning method of the water supply equipment of the present invention, by flushing the pre-filter element, reverse osmosis filter element and post-filter element, impurities, dirt and sediment accumulated in the filter element during use can be effectively removed to ensure that each filter element always maintains good filtering performance and the filtering effect does not decrease over time. For example, the pre-filter element can better remove large particle impurities in the water, reducing the burden on the subsequent reverse osmosis filter element; the reverse osmosis filter element can continuously and efficiently remove soluble solids, heavy metal ions and other harmful substances in the water; the post-filter element can further improve the taste and quality of the water. By flushing regularly, the accumulation of impurities on the filter element can be reduced, and the risk of clogging of the filter element can be reduced, which not only extends the actual service life of the filter element, but also reduces the cost of frequent replacement of the filter element.

[0075] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the cleaning method comprises the following steps:

[0076] Step S201: obtaining a preset start instruction made by a user for the cleaning switch;

[0077] Step S202: Control the water inlet section, water branch, wastewater branch and flushing branch according to the preset start instruction to flush the pre-filter element, reverse osmosis filter element and post-filter element;

[0078] Step S203: ending the flushing when the flushing time reaches a first preset time.

[0079] In this embodiment, step S202 is the same as step S102, and step S203 is the same as step S103, which will not be described in detail herein.

[0080] The water supply device also includes a cleaning switch, which can be set as an independent physical button and installed on the control panel of the water supply device or in a position that is easy to operate. The user can send a preset start instruction by pressing the button. The cleaning switch can also be set to use touch sensing technology, and when the user touches a specific area, the cleaning program can be triggered.

[0081] In some embodiments, wireless communication technology can also be used, and the user can use a remote device such as a remote controller, a mobile phone APP, etc. to control the cleaning switch. For example, the user can remotely start the cleaning program of the water supply device when leaving home so that clean water can be used when returning home.

[0082] The preset start command is a signal sent by the user to the water supply device through the cleaning switch to start the cleaning program. The preset start command can be set to a single operation of the cleaning switch or a combination of multiple operation cleaning switches to generate a cleaning start signal sent to the water supply device. For example, a single operation includes a single press of the cleaning switch; a combination of multiple operations includes multiple clicks on the cleaning switch within a preset time, such as two consecutive clicks on the cleaning switch within 2 seconds, to ensure that the preset start command sent by the cleaning switch should be unique, and facilitate the water supply device to accurately identify the user's operation to avoid misoperation and interference.

[0083] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 5 and Fig. 9 As shown, the cleaning method comprises the following steps:

[0084] Step S301: obtaining a preset start instruction made by the user for the cleaning switch;

[0085] Step S302: Control the water inlet section, water branch, wastewater branch and flushing branch passages according to the preset start-up instruction to flush the pre-filter element, reverse osmosis filter element and post-filter element;

[0086] Step S303: ending the flushing when the flushing time reaches a first preset time.

[0087] Step S304: obtaining a preset closing instruction made by the user for the cleaning switch;

[0088] Step S305: End the flushing according to the preset wash-off instruction.

[0089] In this embodiment, step S301 is the same as step S201, step S302 is the same as step S202, and step S303 is the same as step S203, which will not be repeated here.

[0090] In step 304 and step 305, when the water supply equipment is performing the flushing step, that is, when the water supply equipment executes step S302, when the flushing time has not reached the first preset time, if the water supply equipment receives a preset closing instruction from the user for the cleaning switch, the water supply equipment ends the flushing so that the water supply equipment can meet the user's normal water production needs.

[0091] The preset shutdown instruction is a signal sent by the user to the water supply device through the cleaning switch to start the cleaning program. The preset shutdown instruction can be set to a single operation cleaning switch or a combination of multiple operation cleaning switches to generate a cleaning start signal sent to the water supply device. For example, a single operation includes pressing the cleaning switch once; a combination of multiple operations includes clicking the cleaning switch multiple times within a preset time, such as clicking the cleaning switch twice in a row within 2 seconds, to ensure that the preset shutdown instruction sent by the cleaning switch should be unique, and facilitate the water supply equipment to accurately identify the user's operation to avoid misoperation and interference. It should be noted that the specific operation method of the preset shutdown instruction is different from that of the preset opening instruction.

[0092] In this embodiment, the step of obtaining the preset closing instruction made by the user for the cleaning switch includes:

[0093] The user's operation on the cleaning switch and the duration of the operation are obtained; if the duration is a second preset time, it is determined that the user has issued a preset closing instruction to the cleaning switch, wherein the second preset time is greater than or equal to 3 seconds. In this embodiment, the purpose of setting the preset closing instruction is to prevent misoperation and avoid accidentally shutting down the flushing. Specifically, in daily use, the user may accidentally touch the cleaning switch, which may accidentally interrupt the flushing process. The requirement to press the switch continuously for 3 seconds or more greatly reduces the possibility of accidental stopping of the flushing due to accidental touch. By setting a longer period of continuous pressing to trigger the preset closing instruction, the user's true intention to turn on and off the flushing can be clearly distinguished to avoid incorrect responses.

[0094] It should also be noted that the second preset time is greater than or equal to 3 seconds, which can also reduce frequent switching: if the flushing off operation is too easy to trigger, the user may inadvertently frequently turn the flushing on and off, which will bring unnecessary burden to the control system of the water supply equipment and affect the stability and life of the equipment. By setting a duration of 3 seconds, this frequent switching can be reduced, allowing the equipment to operate more stably.

[0095] In this embodiment, by setting a preset shutdown instruction and ending the flushing according to the preset shutdown instruction, the flexibility of the water supply equipment during operation and the responsiveness to user needs can be improved. For example, when the user has a water demand during the flushing process, such as for cooking, drinking or other emergency purposes. At this time, the user can issue a preset shutdown instruction by operating the flushing switch. After receiving the instruction, the water supply equipment quickly stops flushing and meets the user's normal water production needs. This ensures that the equipment can be effectively cleaned and maintained when necessary, and can respond in time when the user has an emergency need, without affecting the normal use of the water supply equipment.

[0096] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Fig.10 As shown, the cleaning method comprises the following steps:

[0097] Step S401: obtaining a cleaning start instruction;

[0098] Step S402: Control the water inlet section, water branch, wastewater branch and flushing branch passages according to the cleaning instruction to flush the pre-filter element, reverse osmosis filter element and post-filter element;

[0099] Step S403: ending the flushing when the flushing time reaches a first preset time;

[0100] Step S404: Obtain the water level of the second water tank, stop flushing and issue a second water tank water change instruction message when the water level is lower than a preset water level lower limit.

[0101] In this embodiment, step S401 is the same as step S101, step S402 is the same as step S102, and step S403 is the same as step S103, which will not be described in detail herein.

[0102] Specifically, in step S404, during the water production process of the water supply equipment, the raw water in the second water tank is filtered by the pre-filter and the reverse osmosis filter and then divided into two paths, one for waste water and the other for pure water. The waste water flows back to the second water tank from the waste water outlet of the reverse osmosis filter through the waste water branch, and the pure water is filtered again by the post-filter and then transported to the first water tank for storage through the water outlet section of the water production main path. Therefore, as the water production continues, the water level in the second water tank gradually decreases and the TDS value of the raw water in the second phase gradually increases, that is, during the water production process, the water level in the second water tank is inversely correlated with the TDS value of the raw water, and the lower the water level in the second water tank, the higher the TDS value of the raw water in the second water tank. Therefore, when the water level in the second water tank is lower than the lower limit of the water level, it means that the quality of the raw water in the second water tank is lower than the lower limit of the water quality required for cleaning the filter element. If the pre-filter element, post-filter element and reverse osmosis filter element continue to be cleaned, the cleaning effect will be greatly reduced. Therefore, by monitoring the water level in the second water tank, when the water level is lower than the lower limit of the water level, the second water tank water change indication information is issued to remind the user to replace the raw water in the second water tank immediately to improve the water quality of the raw water.

[0103] Among them, the water change indication information can be set in a variety of ways. For example, in some embodiments, a water change indicator light is set on the water supply device, and the water change indication information is set to light up the water change indicator light, and use different colors or flashing methods to distinguish different states. For example, a flashing red indicator light indicates that the second water tank needs to be changed. In other embodiments, the water change indication information is set to emit a specific sound signal, such as a beep, voice prompt, etc. For example, the device will issue a voice prompt of "Please change the water in the second water tank." In other embodiments, the water change indication information is set to display the water change indication information on the screen of the water supply device, including text descriptions and possible graphic prompts. For example, the specific water level value of the second water tank can be displayed on the display screen, so that the user can more intuitively understand the degree of water shortage in the water tank.

[0104] In this embodiment, the water change indication information is set to flash the "please change water" icon and pause after the countdown for a preset time period. The preset time period can be set to 10 seconds, or 10 minutes, etc.

[0105] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Fig.11 As shown, the cleaning method comprises the following steps:

[0106] Step S501: obtaining a cleaning start instruction;

[0107] Step S502: Control the water inlet section, water branch, wastewater branch and flushing branch passages according to the cleaning instruction to flush the pre-filter element, reverse osmosis filter element and post-filter element;

[0108] Step S503: ending the flushing when the flushing time reaches a first preset time;

[0109] Step S504: obtaining the total dissolved solids content data of the raw water in the second water tank, and stopping flushing and issuing a second water tank water change instruction message if the total dissolved solids content data is higher than a preset total dissolved solids content.

[0110] In this embodiment, step S501 is the same as step S101, step S502 is the same as step S102, and step S503 is the same as step S103, which will not be described in detail herein.

[0111] In step S504, when the total dissolved solids content value of the raw water in the second water tank exceeds the preset total dissolved solids content, it means that the quality of the raw water in the second water tank is lower than the lower limit of the water quality required for cleaning the filter element. If the pre-filter element, the post-filter element and the reverse osmosis filter element are continued to be cleaned, the cleaning effect will be greatly reduced. Therefore, by monitoring the total dissolved solids content value of the raw water in the second water tank, when the total dissolved solids content value of the raw water exceeds the preset total dissolved solids content, the second water tank water change indication information is issued to remind the user to replace the raw water in the second water tank immediately to improve the water quality of the raw water.

[0112] Among them, the water change indication information can be set in a variety of ways. For example, in some embodiments, a water change indicator light is set on the water supply device, and the water change indication information is set to light up the water change indicator light, and use different colors or flashing methods to distinguish different states. For example, a flashing red indicator light indicates that the second water tank needs to be changed. In other embodiments, the water change indication information is set to emit a specific sound signal, such as a beep, voice prompt, etc. For example, the device will issue a voice prompt of "Please change the water in the second water tank." In other embodiments, the water change indication information is set to display the water change indication information on the screen of the water supply device, including text descriptions and possible graphic prompts. For example, the specific water level value of the second water tank can be displayed on the display screen, so that the user can more intuitively understand the degree of water shortage in the second water tank.

[0113] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Fig.12 As shown, the cleaning method comprises the following steps:

[0114] Step S601: obtaining a cleaning start instruction;

[0115] Step S602: Control the water inlet section, water branch, wastewater branch and flushing branch passages according to the cleaning instruction to flush the pre-filter element, reverse osmosis filter element and post-filter element;

[0116] Step S603: ending the flushing when the flushing time reaches a first preset time;

[0117] Step S604: obtaining the first moment of ending flushing;

[0118] Step S605: Accumulating the usage time of the cleaned water supply equipment according to the first moment;

[0119] Step S606: issuing a flushing reminder message according to the usage time being longer than a preset time period.

[0120] In this embodiment, step S601 is the same as step S101, step S602 is the same as step S102, and step S603 is the same as step S103, which will not be repeated here.

[0121] In step S604 to step S605, after the water supply device 1 finishes flushing, it will continue to record the time when it ends, that is, the first time, and accurately obtain the time interval information between the current time and the first time through the built-in timer or the control system connected to the water supply device, that is, the use time of the water supply device after flushing. For example, the water supply device 1 starts timing at the end of the last flushing, and the timer will increase the corresponding value every time a unit of time passes, thereby reflecting the running time of the water supply device after the flushing is completed in real time.

[0122] In step S606, when the usage time is longer than the preset time period, the water supply device will issue a flushing reminder message to remind the user that the water supply device needs to be flushed again. By setting a time period and issuing a flushing reminder message when the usage time is longer than the preset time period, it can ensure that the water supply device is flushed in time after a certain usage time, which helps to keep the inside of the device clean, prevent the accumulation of impurities and dirt, effectively remove impurities and harmful substances in the water, improve the safety of water use, and reduce health risks caused by water quality problems.

[0123] For users, they may forget when the equipment needs to be flushed regularly. The flushing reminder information in this embodiment can serve as a reminder, so that users can maintain the water supply equipment in time and ensure that the water supply equipment is always in good working condition. Users do not need to remember the flushing time by themselves, but only need to perform corresponding operations after receiving the reminder information.

[0124] The flushing reminder process achieves a certain degree of automated management. The water supply equipment automatically calculates the usage time and issues reminder information, reducing the need for manual intervention and improving the intelligence level of the equipment.

[0125] It should be noted that the water supply device proposed in the present invention also includes a control device 200, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the control device 200 is electrically connected to the self-priming pump 310, the first TDS probe 391, the second TDS probe 392, the waste water valve 821, the first solenoid valve 36, the second solenoid valve 37 and the cleaning switch. Specifically, the control device 200 is used to receive the electrical signal of the cleaning switch, such as the cleaning start instruction and the preset closing instruction. When the control device 200 receives the cleaning start instruction,

[0126] The control device 200 controls the self-priming pump 310 to start, the first solenoid valve 36 to close, the second solenoid valve 37 to open, and the waste water valve 821 to open to the maximum value, and the pre-filter element, the reverse osmosis filter element and the post-filter element are flushed. After the first preset time, the second solenoid valve 37 is closed and the opening of the waste water valve 821 is adjusted to the minimum value to end the flushing.

[0127] When receiving the preset closing instruction, the control device 200 closes the second solenoid valve 37 and adjusts the opening of the waste water valve 821 to the minimum value to end the flushing.

[0128] The water supply equipment proposed in the present invention also includes a liquid level detection component, which is arranged in the second water tank and is used to detect the water level data in the second water tank. The liquid level detection component is electrically connected to the control device. The control device obtains the water level data of the second water tank through the liquid level detection component. When the water level data in the second water tank is lower than the preset water level lower limit, the control device issues a second water tank water change indication information.

[0129] Among them, the liquid level detection component includes but is not limited to a pressure sensor device, an ultrasonic detection device, a capacitive liquid level gauge, etc. For example, in some embodiments, a pressure sensor is installed at the bottom of the second water tank, and the water level height is indirectly determined by detecting the pressure of water on the bottom of the water tank. The pressure of water is proportional to the water level height, and the water level data can be accurately calculated by measuring the pressure value. This detection method is suitable for water tanks of various shapes and sizes, and has high accuracy and stability. In other embodiments, the liquid level detection component is a capacitive liquid level gauge, which includes two electrodes, which are respectively installed at the first water level and the second water level position in the second water tank. When the water level changes, the dielectric constant of water will change the capacitance value between the electrodes. The water level height can be determined by measuring the change in capacitance value.

[0130] In this embodiment, the liquid level detection assembly includes a float, a sensor and a reed switch. The float is usually made of a material with a density less than that of water, such as plastic, foam, etc. The shape of the float can be spherical, cylindrical or other shapes suitable for floating in water. The float slides up and down on the reed switch as the water level in the second water tank changes, and the change in the position of the float reflects the height of the water level in the water tank.

[0131] The reed switch is installed in the second water tank and arranged in the vertical direction. The reed switch is made of strong materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc., to ensure stability in the second water tank. The reed switch provides guidance and support for the float, so that the float can slide up and down accurately along the reed switch under the action of buoyancy.

[0132] The sensor is fixed on the reed switch. The sensor includes but is not limited to a photoelectric sensor, a Hall sensor and a capacitive sensor. The sensor is used to detect the position of the float and convert it into corresponding water level data. The sensor has the characteristics of high precision, high reliability and fast response to accurately reflect the change of the water level in the second water tank.

[0133] Among them, the sensor is arranged near the bottom of the second water tank, and the float is arranged above the sensor. When the float drops with the water level in the second water tank to collide with the sensor, the water level information detected by the sensor is the preset water level lower limit.

[0134] Furthermore, the control device 200 stops flushing and issues a second water tank water change instruction message according to the TDS data being higher than a preset total dissolved solid content.

[0135] Specifically, the control device 200 includes a memory 2002 and at least one processor 2001, wherein the memory 2002 stores programs or instructions that can be executed on the processor 2001, and when the processor 2001 executes the program or instruction, the steps of the cleaning method of the water supply equipment 1 in the present application are implemented.

[0136] In one embodiment, an electronic device is provided, including a memory and a processor, wherein a computer program is stored in the memory, and the processor implements the steps of a method for cleaning a water supply device when executing the computer program.

[0137] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a computer storage medium is also provided, on which computer readable instructions are stored, and when the computer readable instructions are executed by one or more processors, the one or more processors execute the cleaning method of the water supply equipment in any embodiment of the present invention. The cleaning method may include but is not limited to at least one of the following steps: obtaining a cleaning start instruction; controlling the water inlet section, the water branch, the wastewater branch and the flushing branch according to the cleaning instruction, and flushing the pre-filter element, the reverse osmosis filter element and the post-filter element; and ending the flushing according to the flushing time reaching a first preset time.
