DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The embodiment of the present application provides a water purifier 001, which comprises a housing assembly 10, a controller, a faucet 1A, a hot water system 004 and a water purification system 003.

[0036] The housing assembly 10 has an inner cavity 10A, and the hot water system 004 and the water purification system 003 are both installed in the inner cavity 10A, so as to protect the hot water system 004 and the water purification system 003 by the housing assembly 10, thereby reducing the probability of damage of the hot water system 004 and the water purification system 003. It can be understood that the material of the housing assembly 10 can be at least one of metal and plastic. Exemplarily, the material of the housing assembly 10 can be metal, so that the overall housing assembly 10 has high structural strength, thereby reducing the probability of damage of the housing assembly 10, and further reducing the probability of damage of the hot water system 004 and the water purification system 003, so that the water purifier 001 can have a longer service life. The material of the housing assembly 10 can also be plastic, which can reduce the weight and material cost while ensuring the structural strength.

[0037] The faucet 1A is connected with the shell assembly 10 and communicates with the hot water system 004 and the purified water system 003. When the faucet 1A is opened, the hot water in the hot water system 004 or the normal temperature water in the purified water system 003 can flow out through the faucet 1A to provide hot water or normal temperature water for the user. It can be understood that the purified water dispenser 001 can have two faucets 1A, one of which communicates with the hot water system 004 and the other of which communicates with the purified water system 003, so as to provide hot water and normal temperature water for the user separately. In other embodiments, the faucet 1A can also communicate with the hot water system 004 and the purified water system 003 respectively, and the faucet 1A can flow out hot water or normal temperature water by switching.

[0038] It can be understood that the faucet 1A can also be a smart faucet 1A. When the controller detects a normal temperature water taking signal or a hot water system 004 water replenishing signal at the smart faucet 1A, the controller can control the purified water system 003 to start water making to ensure that the user can take normal temperature water and hot water from the smart faucet 1A in time, reduce the waiting time of the user, and improve the use experience of the user.

[0039] The hot water system 004 includes a hot tank assembly 20, which communicates with the faucet 1A and the purified water system 003, can heat the normal temperature water filtered by the purified water system 003, and provide hot water for the user when the faucet 1A is opened.

[0040] The purified water system 003 can be connected with raw water. When the controller detects a normal temperature water taking signal or a hot tank assembly 20 water replenishing signal at the faucet 1A, the purified water system 003 is controlled to start water making. When the two signals disappear, the controller controls the purified water system 003 to stop water making and enter a standby state. The normal temperature water at the water outlet of the purified water system 003 can enter the hot tank assembly 20 or directly flow out through the faucet 1A.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1-4 . Specifically, the purified water system 003 can include a filtering system 50. The water inlet of the filtering system 50 communicates with the water inlet of the purified water system 003, and the water outlet of the filtering system 50 communicates with the water outlet of the purified water system 003. The filtering system 50 can include a plurality of filter cartridges, which can be independently arranged or integrated into a composite filter cartridge.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1-4More specifically, the filter system 50 can include a primary filter element and a secondary filter element, the primary filter element can be the pre-filter element 52, and the secondary filter element can be the reverse osmosis filter element 53. The water inlet of the pre-filter element 52 is in communication with the water inlet of the filter system 50, the water outlet of the pre-filter element 52 is in communication with the water inlet of the reverse osmosis filter element 53, and the water outlet of the reverse osmosis filter element 53 is in communication with the water outlet of the filter system 50.

[0043] The pre-filter element 52 is used to achieve the preliminary filtration of raw water, and can filter out large-particle substances such as silt, rust, insect eggs, and red worms in the raw water. The raw water can be tap water or well water, and the pre-filter element 52 can be a PP cotton filter element (polypropylene melt-blown filter element), a carbon rod filter element, or a composite filter element.

[0044] The reverse osmosis filter element 53 has a reverse osmosis membrane, which can be an artificial semi-permeable membrane. The membrane pore size of the reverse osmosis membrane is very small, and can effectively remove impurities such as dissolved salts, colloids, microorganisms, and organic matter in water. A pure water pipe is connected between the reverse osmosis filter element 53 and the faucet 1A1, so that the user can obtain water filtered by the reverse osmosis filter element 53 through the faucet 1A1. The water can be pure water, i.e., normal-temperature water.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 1-4 In order to facilitate the discharge of impurities removed by the filter system 50, the water purification system 003 further includes a waste water drainage pipeline 54, which includes a waste water drainage pipe 541 and a waste water valve 542. The waste water drainage pipe 541 is in communication with the waste water outlet of the filter system 50, and the waste water valve 542 is arranged on the waste water drainage pipe 541. The waste water valve 542 is used to control the discharge of waste water.

[0046] In other embodiments, the filter system 50 can further include a post-filter element. The water inlet of the post-filter element is in communication with the water outlet of the reverse osmosis filter element 53, and the water outlet of the post-filter element is in communication with the water outlet of the filter system 50. The post-filter element is used to adsorb odors and residual chlorine, and can be used to improve the taste of normal-temperature water. The post-filter element can be an activated carbon filter element. It can be understood that the pre-filter element 52 and the post-filter element can be integrated into a primary filter element, so that when the user replaces the primary filter element, the pre-filter element 52 and the post-filter element can be replaced together, thereby improving the efficiency of filter element replacement.

[0047] It can be understood that the waste water drainage pipeline 54 can be in communication with the waste water outlet of the pre-filter element 52 and the waste water outlet of the reverse osmosis filter element 53. In other embodiments, the waste water drainage pipeline 54 can only be in communication with the waste water outlet of the reverse osmosis filter element 53.

[0048] It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, the filter system 50 can also only include the reverse osmosis filter element 53, which is used to filter impurities in water at one time to provide pure water for the user.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1-4 Furthermore, since the reverse osmosis filter element 53 has working water pressure requirements, the water purification system 003 also includes a booster pipe 55. The inlet of the booster pipe 55 is connected to the inlet of the water purification system 003, or to the inlet of the water purification system 003 through the pre-filter element 52. The outlet of the booster pipe 55 is connected to the inlet of the reverse osmosis filter element 53.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 1-4 Specifically, the booster pipeline 55 includes a booster water pipe 551 and a booster pump 552. The inlet of the booster water pipe 551 is connected to the inlet of the booster pipeline 55, and the outlet of the booster water pipe 551 is connected to the outlet of the booster pipeline 55. The booster pump 552 is installed on the booster water pipe 551. The booster pump 552 can increase the water pressure to the operating pressure range required by the reverse osmosis membrane, ensuring that the reverse osmosis membrane can work normally and achieve stable water production and good filtration effect.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 1-4 To facilitate the water supply from the outlet of the water purification system 003 to the heating tank assembly 20 and to directly provide room temperature water to the faucet 1A, the hot water system 004 also includes a water supply pipe 25 and a water supply valve 251 installed on the water supply pipe 25. The water supply pipe 25 connects the outlet of the water purification system 003 and the heating tank assembly 20, and the water supply valve 251 is installed on the water supply pipe 25. When the heating tank assembly 20 needs water, the water supply valve 251 opens, allowing room temperature water from the outlet of the water purification system 003 to enter the heating tank assembly 20. When the user needs room temperature water, the water supply valve 251 closes, allowing room temperature water from the outlet of the water purification system 003 to flow out through the faucet 1A. Of course, the water supply valve 251 can also be opened when the user needs room temperature water, meaning that the water purification system 003 can simultaneously meet the needs of producing room temperature water and supplying water to the heating tank assembly 20.

[0052] Please refer to Figures 1-4 It is understandable that the faucet 1A can also be installed near the control panel and connected to the hot water tank assembly 20 and the water purification system 003 through a pipeline, so that the user can control the water output of the faucet 1A through the control panel, thereby facilitating the use of hot water and room temperature water from the faucet 1A.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 1-4 It is understandable that the water purifier 001 may also include a water dispenser 57, where room temperature water can enter the water dispenser 57 after passing through a one-way valve, thus supplying water to the water dispenser 57.

[0054] However, when the inlet of the water purification system 003 is directly connected to the raw water, if the raw water is hard water rich in calcium and magnesium ions, the direct entry of the hard water rich in calcium and magnesium ions into the water purification system 003 will cause a large accumulation of calcium and magnesium ions at the filter element, affecting the normal service life of the filter element.

[0055] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , based on the above problems, the purified water machine 001 can also include a soft water system 002, the soft water system 002 is also arranged in the shell assembly 10, the water inlet of the soft water system 002 is used for accessing raw water, and the water outlet of the soft water system 002 is communicated with the water inlet of the purified water system 003, the soft water system 002 can soften hard water rich in calcium and magnesium ions into soft water, that is, the soft water system 002 can adsorb calcium and magnesium ions in hard water, so that the water outlet of the soft water system 002 outputs soft water, and the soft water enters the purified water system 003, which can reduce the probability of calcium and magnesium ions accumulating in the filter core in large quantities, so as to ensure that the filter core has a normal service life.

[0056] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , specifically, the soft water system 002 includes a soft water valve 020, a resin tank 010, and a salt tank 030. The soft water valve 020 is communicated with the water inlet and the water outlet of the soft water system 002, and is communicated with the resin tank 010 and the salt tank 030, and is connected with the controller; the resin tank 010 is used for softening hard water into soft water; the salt tank 030 is used for storing regenerative salt, and the regenerative salt can enter the resin tank 010 through the soft water valve 020 to regenerate the resin in the resin tank 010.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 4 , when the soft water mode is started, the controller can control the soft water valve 020 to communicate the water inlet of the soft water system 002 and the resin tank 010, and communicate the water outlet of the resin tank 010 and the water outlet of the soft water system 002, at this time, hard water can enter the resin tank 010 through the soft water valve 020, and sodium ions on the resin in the resin tank 010 can exchange with calcium and magnesium ions in the hard water, thereby adsorbing calcium and magnesium ions, so that the hard water becomes soft water and is stored in the resin tank 010. When the user takes pure water from the faucet 1A, the soft water in the resin tank 010 can flow out through the water outlet of the soft water valve 020 and enter the purified water system 003, and the soft water can be directly output to the faucet 1A after being filtered by the purified water system 003 to provide the user with normal temperature pure water; the soft water can also be output to the hot tank assembly 20 or the pipeline machine 57 for heating after being filtered by the purified water system 003, and then output to the faucet 1A through the hot tank assembly 20 to provide the user with hot water, or directly provide the user with hot water through the pipeline machine 57.

[0058] When all the sodium ions on the resin become calcium and magnesium ions, the resin reaches a saturated state, at which point the resin loses the ability to soften hard water, and the controller can control the water softening system 002 to start the regeneration mode. It can be understood that the controller can control the water softening system 002 to start the regeneration program at a preset interval, so as to regenerate the resin, so as to ensure that the user can access soft water. For example, the preset interval can be 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, etc. In the embodiments of the present application, the preset interval is not limited.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 4 When the regeneration mode is started, the controller controls the water softening valve 020 to stop connecting the resin tank 010 and the water outlet of the water softening system 002, and controls the water softening valve 020 to connect the water inlet and the water outlet of the water softening system 002, and controls the water softening valve 020 to connect the resin tank 010 and the salt tank 030. At this time, the hard water enters the resin tank 010 through the water softening valve 020, and enters the salt tank 030 from the resin tank 010 through the water softening valve 020. The water in the resin tank 010 enters the salt tank 030 and contacts the regeneration salt in the salt tank 030, and melts the regeneration salt to form brine. The water softening valve 020 can suck the brine in the salt tank 030 into the resin tank 010, so as to replace the calcium and magnesium ions on the resin with sodium ions in the brine, so as to restore the softening ability of the resin. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the water softening valve 020 can also directly inject raw water into the salt tank 030, so that the raw water melts the regeneration salt to form brine, and the water softening valve 020 sucks the brine in the salt tank 030 into the resin tank 010, so as to replace the calcium and magnesium ions on the resin with sodium ions in the brine, so as to restore the softening ability of the resin.

[0060] In the embodiments of the present application, in addition to the controller controlling the water softening system 002 to start the regeneration program at a preset interval, the controller can also determine whether the regeneration mode needs to be started by detecting the liquid level in the resin tank 010.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 Specifically, the water softening system 002 further comprises a soft water level sensor 060, the soft water level sensor 060 is arranged in the resin tank 010, and the soft water level sensor 060 is connected with the controller. The controller can obtain the soft water level of the resin tank 010 through the soft water level sensor 060; when the soft water level is lower than a first preset water level, the controller controls the water softening valve 020 to start the regeneration mode. For example, the soft water level sensor 060 includes at least one of a float type water level sensor, a static pressure type water level sensor, a probe type water level sensor, a Hall type water level sensor, an ultrasonic type water level sensor, a photoelectric type water level sensor, and a radar type water level sensor. In the embodiments of the present application, the specific form of the soft water level sensor 060 is not limited.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 Since the soft water valve 020 does not connect the resin tank 010 with the water outlet of the soft water system 002 when the regeneration mode is started, and the soft water valve 020 does not connect the resin tank 010 with the water outlet of the soft water system 002 when the soft water mode is stopped, in order to facilitate the user to use the purified water machine 001 during this period, the controller can control the soft water valve 020 to connect the water inlet and the water outlet of the soft water system 002, so that the hard water can be directly output via the water outlet of the soft water valve 020 to enter the purified water system 003.
