Description
1 TARIFF A REGENERATION KIT FOR ION EXCHANGE RESINS This invention is a device for resin regeneration in household appliances equipped with ion exchange resin. It does not require an additional compartment inside the body, thus saving 5% of the internal usable space of the body. It is related to a regeneration kit that provides cost savings. Ion exchange resins are used to soften, purify, or remove unwanted ions from water. They are widely used in applications such as ion removal. These resins remove ions over time. It loses its capacity for change and requires a regeneration process to be reactivated. It requires. In current applications, the regeneration process usually involves 10 layers in the device housing. This is accomplished through an integrated regeneration chamber. However, such systems, the device This leads to certain limitations and problems in its design. Internal regeneration chambers, This increases the overall size of the device and limits the usable space inside the housing. This is especially true in residential or commercial spaces where compact appliance designs are in demand. This creates a significant disadvantage. 15 In addition, various technical problems related to internal fuselage regeneration chambers have also emerged. This can happen. For example, during regeneration, water and regeneration chemicals can escape from the reservoir. Problems such as blockages or flow imbalances can occur as it passes through the reservoir. Chemical buildup can occur; the device must be disassembled for maintenance or repair of the tanks. This may be necessary. Such malfunctions can negatively affect the device's performance and require maintenance. This can increase costs. On the other hand, regeneration chambers inside the fuselage, over time It can cause leaks due to worn-out sealing parts. This can also It can cause corrosion not only of the device but also of its surroundings. These include: In addition, internal regeneration chambers remove unnecessary amounts of matter during the regeneration process. This leads to the consumption of water and chemicals; therefore, it has both economic and environmental consequences. 25 This leads to an unsustainable situation from that perspective. In this context, the technology offers alternatives to conventional regeneration systems. Applications exist. For example, in patent document number EP4386126A1, fresh water A household appliance equipped with a softening system that reduces the hardness level is described. In this softening system, a softening agent container holds 30 units of softening agent. A removable salt container is provided for regeneration, and a recess is provided for storing the salt container. 2 The softening system starts with a first position where the salt container is placed inside the cavity. It can be located in a second position where it is not placed. The regeneration systems used in current technology save space inside the fuselage, Improved in terms of regeneration efficiency, as well as ease of use for the user. Insufficient in terms of systems that provide and allow control over the regeneration frequency. 5 It is observed that this remains the case. Accordingly, it is both user-friendly and reduces device maintenance costs. The need for solutions that reduce [the risk of further mitigation] still continues. The aim of this invention is to allow the ion exchange resin to operate independently of the device housing. It is configured to enable regeneration and depends on the user's own initiative and / or 10 According to notifications from the relevant household appliance, it controls the resin regeneration process itself. The goal is to create a regeneration kit that allows for this. Thus, the casing of the household appliance... While saving on the usable volume inside, resin regeneration is also controlled. This can be done by the user at a reduced cost. The subject of the invention is a regeneration kit; a 15-inch regeneration kit integrated into the housing of a household appliance. a pipe reservoir through which mains water passes when it is regulated and in use its body, a water inlet channel that allows the mains water to enter the reservoir body, and A water softener with an outlet channel that allows water to exit the reservoir body. The reservoir consists of a tubular filter housing equipped with an ion exchange resin, and the filter arranged at one end of the body and inside the water softening reservoir 20 with water inlet openings that allow fluid to enter the filter housing while in use A water inlet plate is fitted, arranged at the second end of the filter housing, and the water the exit of the fluid from the filter housing while in use in the softening reservoir It has a water outlet plate equipped with water outlet openings that allow it to run, water A 25 designed to be installed and removed from inside the softening reservoir. resin filter; and the resin filter to be kept outside the device housing and ion to enable regeneration of the modifier resin independently of the device housing a housing body structured to be filled with saltwater It includes a regeneration housing. This allows the ion exchange resin to transfer tap water to the device. while softening it inside the device body, the regeneration of the resin in question takes place in the device body 30 This is carried out externally. Thus, the user has exhausted their smoothing capacity. 3 by separating the resin filter containing the resin from the device body and placing it inside the regeneration housing. It is positioned here and processed with salt water. This structure, the device The housing does not require a separate chamber for the regeneration of the ion exchange resin. This does not leave any usable space within the device body, which is a technical issue. This is an advantage. Accordingly, the device body can be reduced in size to take up less space, or 5 Other functional components can be placed in the opened space. Inside the device body... The absence of a regeneration chamber also means that malfunctions and leaks that may occur here... This means it is completely eliminated. On the other hand, the structure in question is the device body. Since it does not require a regeneration cycle, a large portion of the water used is saved. Savings are achieved. This results in 10 user-friendly solutions that reduce both water and maintenance costs. This is another improvement. The term water softening mentioned here refers to the softening of tap water. hardness ions such as calcium and magnesium within it are converted by ion exchange resin. This means that they are captured and sodium ions are released into the water in their place. It carries. In one application of the invention, the filter housing is located inside a water softening reservoir. When in use, it will hold tightly to the reservoir body, thus securing it to the network. It will ensure the water is conveyed from the first end to the second end concentrically with the reservoir body. It is structured in this way. This allows the tap water to be directly drawn into the resin filter. Water can be transferred from the water inlet openings into the filter housing. Thus... The mains water directly interacts with the ion exchange resin and the filter housing, and 20 Leaks that may occur between the reservoir body are prevented. In one application of the invention, a resin filter is placed inside a water softening reservoir. when in use, the reservoir body corresponds to the first end of the filter body. The reservoir opening is maintained while the resin filter regeneration housing is in place. a housing opening corresponding to the first end of the filter housing of the housing body 25 It is equipped with a sealing cap designed to close the filter housing. both the water softening reservoir and the water softening reservoir are protected by a single sealing cap provided on it. Furthermore, the regeneration housing can be disconnected from the external environment while in use. The sealing cover is attached to the filter housing, preventing parts from getting lost. The risks are also reduced. 30 In one application of the invention, the water inlet plate is integrated with the sealing cover filter housing. a cover that remains in contact with the sealing cap while in this state, and water on the contact surface 4 from the first end of the filter housing to the cover contact surface where the inlet openings are provided. It has a radially extending perforated surface. According to this structure; cover contact The surface provides the connection between the filter housing and the sealing cover, while the cover contact surface The surrounding perforated surface allows mains water to enter the filter housing. This configuration uses a single plate 5 for the water inlet to the filter housing and the connection of the sealing cover. This makes it possible to carry out the process through, that is, through, the water inlet plate. In one application of the invention, the perforated surface has radial symmetry for water inlet openings. It is designed in such a way that it will create a network of water from each water inlet opening. equal amounts pass through and therefore also with the ion exchange resin inside the filter housing. This ensures homogeneous contact. This makes the water softening reservoir 10. It improves the softening performance inside and delays the need for regeneration. In one application of the invention; a perforated surface, resin filter inside a water softening reservoir. When in use, it will form a narrow angle with the reservoir body, thus preventing water from entering the channel. allowing the incoming mains water to flow in a spiral fashion between the leak-proof cover and the perforated surface. It is sloped in such a way as to create a flow redirection volume. According to this structure, the water 15 The mains water entering the softening reservoir passes through a perforated surface before entering the filter housing. It circulates in the cyclical volume created between the perforated surface and the sealing cap. The given slope delays the flow of water from directly heading towards the inlet openings, thus redirecting the flow. It creates a vortex effect within its volume. Thus, the tap water, through the perforated surface 20 cubic meters of water are homogeneously drawn into the filter housing through each water inlet opening created on it. It is dispersing. In one application of the invention, the sealing cap will grip a mounting protrusion and this will ensure that the sealing cap remains fixed on the filter housing. A structured tab arrangement is provided on the contact surface of the cover. This allows... The user can remove the resin filter from the water softening reservoir by opening the sealing cap 25 When turned, this prevents the sealing cap from separating from the filter housing. Thus... When the sealing cap is removed from the reservoir body, the filter body also becomes leak-proof. It can be removed from the water softening reservoir adjacent to its lid. Similarly The user can separate the resin filter from the regeneration housing using a sealant. When the lid is turned, the sealing cap is prevented from separating from the housing body. 30 Thus, when the sealing cover is detached from the housing, the filter housing also detaches. In a single motion, it is pulled out of the regeneration housing, adjacent to the sealing cover. 5 It can be removed. This structure facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the resin filter. The user is provided with convenience. In one application of the invention, the resin filter is positioned so that the first end surrounds the filter housing. It has a primary sealing element arranged between the water inlet plate. Accordingly, When the resin filter is in use inside the water softening reservoir, 5 from the water inlet channel. The mains water taken into the reservoir body is transferred directly into the filter housing. This is possible. In other words, between the filter housing and the reservoir housing. The sealing is being improved. This design also includes the reservoir body of the filter housing. It also helps to hold it tightly in place. In one application of the invention, the resin filter reduces the radial thickness of the sealing cap by 10. surrounded by, while the resin filter is in use inside the water softening reservoir, The resin filter regeneration will be located between the sealing cap and the reservoir body. When inside its housing, it will be located between the sealing cap and the housing body. It has a second sealing element arranged in this way. According to this configuration, the resin When the filter is installed in the water softening reservoir and in use, the water softening 15 This prevents water from leaking from the reservoir to the outside of the device housing. On the other hand, While the resin filter is undergoing regeneration inside the regeneration housing, regeneration This also prevents saltwater from leaking out of the casing. In one application of the invention, the water outlet plate has a radial symmetry of the water outlet openings. It is arranged in such a way as to create. With this structure, 20 ions pass through the ion exchange resin. The softened water is ensured to exit the filter housing homogeneously, which can prevent... It ensures the elimination of blockages and the sustainability of softening cycles. It guarantees. The invention also includes regeneration, as in any of the above applications. The invention describes a household appliance containing a water softening reservoir included in its kit. Invention 25 The subject is a household appliance, a device housing into which a water softening reservoir will be integrated. This structure incorporates the technical advantages provided by the regeneration kit described in this invention. It supports. In one application of the invention, the water softening reservoir connects to the network passing through the filter housing. the direction of water flow, the placement on which the device body rests while in use 30 It is inclined to form an angle of between 5 and 30° with the plane. This configuration 6 Thanks to this, when the installation plane is taken as a reference; the water inlet channel is relative to the water outlet channel. It is located at a higher elevation. Thus, the mains water passes through the water softening reservoir. This completely eliminates the risk of water leaking out of the device housing. This slope also protects the network. It also facilitates the passage of water through the resin filter by gravity. In one application of the invention, the subject matter of the invention is a household appliance called a washing machine. Accordingly, the word 5 The subject is a washing device; designed to convey mains water to the water inlet channel. A structured water supply line and water that softens as it passes through a resin filter and reservoir. This will allow the water leaving the hull through the water outlet channel to be transferred to a washing compartment. It includes a wash water line structured in this way. Thus, water softening Functional integration of the reservoir into the device housing is possible. 10 is happening. In one application of the invention, the washing device also includes an ion exchanger located in the resin filter. a sensor adapted to measure the softening capacity of the resin This allows the user to be informed about the status of the ion exchange resin. and by removing the resin filter from the device housing at any time, regeneration 15 It can be left to regenerate within its housing. The sensor in question is located inside the device body. It may also include an alarm unit configured independently of the device body. Accordingly, When the softening capacity of the ion exchange resin drops to critical levels, the user They can be stimulated. The subject matter of the invention may be a washing machine, a laundry machine, or a dishwashing machine. 20 The invention also includes regeneration, as in any of the above applications. a water softening and ion exchange resin regeneration method using the kit It explains the method described in the invention, which includes the following steps: i. The resin filter containing ion exchange resin is integrated into the device housing to filter the water. placement in the softening reservoir 25 ii.

Tuz The regeneration kit (10) presented within the scope of the present invention is, as shown in Figure 4, a water 15 softening reservoir (1), a resin filter (2) and a regeneration housing (3) It basically consists of three separate parts. Accordingly, the resin filter (2) both water It can be attached to and removed from both the softening reservoir (1) and the regeneration housing (3). It can be installed. The water softening reservoir (1), as can be seen in Figure 1, is located in a house. 20 of the device (100) has a tubular reservoir body (11) integrated into the device body (101). It has. The resin filter (2) is a tubular filter fitted with an ion exchange resin inside, as shown in Figure 7. It has a body (21) and a water softening reservoir (1) as can be seen from Figures 1 and 2. softening of mains water while mounted inside the device housing (101) It is suitable for use for the purpose of [purpose]. The user can, if desired, for example with a household appliance (100) and 25 softening of ion exchange resin via associated sensor (105) When a notification is received that the capacity has been reached, open the sealing cap shown in Figure 2. (26) by turning the resin filter (2) out of the water softening reservoir (1) in one go It can be removed because the sealing cover (26) is the filter as shown in Figures 7 and 8. It is configured to be mounted on the body (21). 30 Accordingly, a water inlet plate (23) is provided at one end (22) of the filter housing (21), both a cover structured in such a way as shown in Figure 3, in which the assembly in question will be carried out. 10 contact surface (232) and water allowing mains water to enter the filter housing (21) It includes a perforated surface (234) equipped with inlet openings (231). In its clearest form, Figure As shown in Figures 7 and 9, the perforated surface (234) circularizes the cover contact surface (232). It surrounds it as follows. According to this structure, the perforated surface (234), resin filter (2) water While in use in the softening reservoir (1), the reservoir body (11) and the 5 in Figure 6 It has a slope that forms a narrow angle (X). In this way, the sealing cap (26) When fixed to the filter housing (21) as shown in Figures 7 and 8, the perforated surface (234) allows water ingress. It is left exposed in such a way as to give. The contact surface (232) of the sealing cover (26) Multiple claw configurations provided on the cover contact surface (232) for mounting on it (233) is provided. The aforementioned claw structures (233) are the sealing cap (26) 10 will grip a mounting tab (261) and thus the sealing cover (26) of the filter housing It is structured to be fixed onto (21). At the second end of the filter housing (21) (24) a water outlet plate (25) is provided. Thus, along the filter housing (21) Figure As in 5, the mains water softens here and is provided on the water outlet plate (25). The water leaves the resin filter (2) through the water outlet openings (251). In the configuration shown in Figure 10, 15 As can be seen, the water outlet openings (251) have a radial symmetry on the water outlet plate (25). It is designed to provide this. As can be seen from Figures 4 and 5, the resin filter (2) is mounted in the water softening reservoir (1). While in this state, the sealing cap (26) corresponds to the first end (22) of the reservoir body (11). It closes a reservoir opening (12). Referring to the same figures, the filter body (21) reservoir 20 shaped to fit tightly into the body (31) and It is sized so that the sealing cap (26) completely covers the reservoir opening (12). In this case, the filter housing (21) should be positioned to radially surround the first end (22). a first sealing element (27), filter housing (21) and reservoir housing (11) It improves the leak tightness and tight fit between them. Sealing cap (26) 25 a second provided on it and radially surrounding the sealing cap (26) The sealing element (28) is designed to prevent water leakage outside the reservoir body (11). It is structured. The water softening reservoir (1), as seen in Figure 2, is the reservoir into which the mains water is placed. a water inlet channel (13) that allows entry into the body (11) and a water outlet channel that allows exit 30 It is equipped with (14). While the resin filter (2) is mounted in the water softening reservoir (1), 11 Referring to Figures 3, 5 and 6, the network water entering from the water inlet channel (13) is first perforated here. It comes into contact with the surface (234). Referring to Figures 5 and 6, the narrow angle (X) that the perforated surface (234) makes with the reservoir body (11) thanks to; between the sealing cap (26), the perforated surface (234) and the reservoir body (11) A circular flow redirection volume (4) is created. After the mains water reaches here 5 Then, the flow moves circularly through the flow direction volume (4). Mains water When pressure reaches the perforated surface (234), the surface tension formed here becomes the network This delays the water from passing directly through the water inlet openings (231). The boundary formed here Due to the layer effect, there is a decrease in the speed of the mains water when it comes into contact with the perforated surface (234). This happens, which causes the water to be distributed homogeneously along the perforated surface (234). In addition, thanks to the circular form of the flow directing volume (4), The tap water is forced to move in a rotational manner; the boundary layer effect and rotational motion work together. When this happens, a vortex effect occurs within the flow direction volume (4). This, in turn, to distribute the mains water much more homogeneously on the perforated surface (234) supports. Water inlet openings (231) on the perforated surface (234) are shown in Figure 3 as 15 It creates radial symmetry. In this way, the already perforated surface (234) surface from each water inlet opening (231) the network water distributed homogeneously on it equal amounts are allowed to pass through. As shown in Figures 4 and 6, the reservoir body (11), It has an expansion zone (111) in the part corresponding to the flow direction volume (4). This configuration increases the flow redirection volume (4), allowing the network water to flow through perforated surfaces (234) 20 It supports the distribution and laminar flow on its surface. Regeneration housing (3) is a tubular housing that can be used independently of the device body (101). It has a housing body (31). As can be seen from Figures 4 and 11, the resin filter (2) When placed in the regeneration housing (3), the sealing cap (26) is placed in the housing It closes a housing opening (32) corresponding to the first end (22) of its body (31). Again 25 Referring to the same shape, the filter housing (21) fits tightly into the housing (31). It is shaped and sized to be placed. The sealing cap (26), If the reservoir opening (12) is completely covered, a first sealing element (27) the seal and tight fit between the filter housing (21) and the housing housing (31) It provides the structure. When the resin filter (2) is in this position, the second sealing element (28) 30 The housing body (31) prevents the leakage of salt water (S) outside. 12 The present invention also includes a water supply, as in any of the above applications. It describes a household appliance (100) containing a softening reservoir (1). Accordingly, the household appliance (100) is configured to be placed on a docking plane (Z) when in use. The device has a housing (101). The water softening reservoir (1) is shown in Figures 1 and 5. As can be understood, device 5 is tilted with reference to the mounting plane (Z). It is integrated into the filter housing. The slope mentioned here, referring to Figure 5, is from the filter housing. (21) The direction of flow of the network water (Y) is at an angle of 5-30° to the placement plane (Z). It will be formed in this way. The household appliance (100) is also configured to carry mains water to the water inlet channel (13). a mains water line (103) and water coming out of the outlet channel (14) to the device body (101) 10 It is structured to transfer the contents to a washing compartment (102) provided inside. It includes a washing water line (104). Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the mains water line (103) and The washing water line (104) is associated with the water inlet channel (13) and the water outlet channel (14) respectively. They can be hoses. The washing compartment (102) holds the laundry to be washed as shown in Figure 1. It may be a drum in which it is placed. According to one application of the invention, the aforementioned household appliance (100) 15 The washing machine in question is like the one shown in Figure 1. This washing machine uses an ion exchanger. a sensor adapted to take measurements of the softening capacity of the resin (105) It includes this feature. This allows the user to monitor the condition of the ion exchange resin and the need for regeneration. They will be informed about it. The subject of the invention is a water softening and ion exchange resin 20 in which the regeneration kit (10) is used. As part of the regeneration method, the user first uses a resin containing ion exchange resin. Place the filter (2) into the water softening reservoir (1) on the appliance housing (101). Afterwards, the household appliance (100) is used in its normal operation for a certain period of time. During this period, each In the washing process, mains water passes through the resin filter before being sent to the washing compartment (102). (2) is softened by passing it through. As a result of softening cycles, calcium and 25 The sensor has reached the capacity of the ion exchange resin enriched with magnesium ions. (105) is detected and the user is informed about the situation. The user then water softening resin filter (2) to ensure regeneration of ion exchange resin It extracts it from the reservoir (1). On the other hand, it regenerates by preparing a saline solution (S). fills the housing (3) and places the resin filter (2) here, ion exchange 30 It is left to wait for the resin to regenerate. The saline solution mentioned here... The salt (S) ratio (T) of the water can be in the range of 8-12% (weight / volume) of the total volume. 13 The elapsed waiting period is at least 10 days. This period is specified by the regeneration housing (3). This can be shortened by shaking it at regular intervals. During the regeneration period, the user can have a second Put the resin filter (2) into the water softening reservoir (1) and use the household appliance (100). you can continue or reuse the resin filter (2) in the regeneration housing (3).
