Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the prior art, a water softener usually includes a salt box, an upper shell, a resin tank and a multi-way valve module. The upper shell cover is arranged on the salt box, the resin tank is arranged in the salt box, part of the multi-way valve module is arranged in the upper shell and connected with the resin tank, and part of the bypass valve of the multi-way valve module extends out from the avoidance port on the upper shell. Since the salt box is processed by blow molding, the size tolerance of the salt box is large, and the resin tank also has a processing error. The processing error of the salt box and the processing error of the resin tank are superimposed, which increases the position tolerance of the installation height of the multi-way valve module. When installing the multi-way valve module, in order to avoid interference between the multi-way valve module and the upper shell and affect the normal installation of the multi-way valve module, the avoidance port of the upper shell is usually opened larger. The larger avoidance port will cause external dust or insects to fall into the salt box through the avoidance port and pollute the salt box, and the hygiene of the softened water in the water softener cannot be ensured.

[0042] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] In order to solve the problem that the water softener in the prior art cannot ensure the hygiene of the softened water in the water softener, the present invention provides a multi-way valve module and a water softener.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water softener includes a first shell 1, a second shell 2, a multi-way valve module 3 and a tank body 4. The first shell 1 is covered on the second shell 2. The first shell 1 has a first accommodating chamber 400 and a third avoidance hole connected to the first accommodating chamber 400. Part of the multi-way valve module 3 is arranged in the first accommodating chamber 400. Part of the bypass valve 20 of the multi-way valve module 3 extends out of the third avoidance hole. The hole contour line of the third avoidance hole is adapted to the outer contour line of the bypass valve 20. The multi-way valve module 3 is the multi-way valve module described above and below; the second shell 2 has a second accommodating chamber 500, the tank body 4 is arranged in the second accommodating chamber 500, and the tank body 4 is connected to the multi-way valve module 3.

[0045] like Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the multi-way valve module includes a valve body 10, a bypass valve 20 and a transfer assembly 30, wherein the valve body 10 and the bypass valve 20 are connected; the transfer assembly 30 includes a first transfer portion 31 and a second transfer portion 32, wherein the first transfer portion 31 is connected to the valve body 10, and the second transfer portion 32 is connected to the bypass valve 20, and the first transfer portion 31 and the second transfer portion 32 are movably connected so that the bypass valve 20 can be movably arranged relative to the valve body 10.

[0046] By optimizing the structure of the multi-way valve module 3 of the water softener, the multi-way valve module 3 has a transfer assembly 30, and the transfer assembly 30 includes a first transfer portion 31 and a second transfer portion 32, and the first transfer portion 31 and the second transfer portion 32 are movably connected. In this way, when the multi-way valve module 3 is installed, since the actual installation height of the second shell 2 and the tank body 4 has been determined, and the superposition error of the second shell 2 and the tank body 4 has been determined, the bypass valve 20 is driven to move by the second transfer portion 32, so that part of the bypass valve 20 moves to a position opposite to the third avoidance hole on the first shell 1, and partially extends the bypass valve 20 from the third avoidance hole. In addition, the hole contour line of the third avoidance hole on the first shell 1 is adapted to the outer contour line of the bypass valve 20. When the bypass valve 20 partially extends from the third avoidance hole, the bypass valve 20 located at the position of the third avoidance hole plays a role in blocking the third avoidance hole, preventing external dust or insects from falling into the second shell 2 from the third avoidance hole, thereby ensuring the hygiene of the water in the water softener.
