Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of water treatment, and specifically relates to a multifunctional mineralized water system and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] People's requirements for drinking water are getting higher and higher. Problems brought about by environmental pollution, pipeline pollution, etc. make it difficult for municipal tap water to meet the requirements of direct drinking by residents. Therefore, at present, commercial water stations or household water purification devices are installed in many residential communities and rural areas to purify municipal tap water for people to use.

[0003] At present, most commercial water stations and household water purification devices adopt RO reverse osmosis technology. The reverse osmosis membrane has a small pore size and a high rejection rate, and can intercept substances larger than 0.0001 microns, including harmful heavy metal ions, microorganisms, antibiotics, etc. Almost all harmful and beneficial substances are intercepted, so the water after passing through the membrane is considered pure water.

[0004] Mineral elements in water play an important role in the human body. For example, calcium, magnesium, and strontium elements play an important role in the formation and structure of bones. Zinc element has a positive effect on children's development and immune improvement. Potassium and sodium can maintain the body's acid-base balance and play an important role in the process of nerve information transmission. In addition, there are iron, selenium, fluorine, etc., which play important roles in the formation of heme, disease prevention, and maintaining the health of teeth and bones. Generally speaking, the trace elements required by the human body are mainly obtained from daily diet, but the absorption level of some elements is low, and drinking water naturally becomes an important source of supplementing minerals. In addition to drinking, the mineralized water contains elements such as calcium and fluorine, and washing with it is beneficial to the calcification of teeth. The metasilicic acid contained in the water also has a good protective effect on the skin. Therefore, the water filtered by the purification filter element lacks the minerals required by the human body, and long-term drinking has an adverse effect on the human body and endangers human health.

[0005] However, the existing water purifiers can only prepare pure water or mineral water separately. When users have a need for hot water, they also need to use an additional heating device for heating, and their functions are limited. When people want to prepare any combination of pure water, mineral water, and hot water, they need to purchase two or more sets of equipment, which increases the equipment cost and is inconvenient to use.

[0006] In addition, the mineralized water module is generally arranged at the rear end of the water purification module. When bacteria grow in the mineralized water module due to long-term use, it will pollute the water used by the user terminal and affect the water use safety. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the technical problems in the prior art that the functions of drinking water treatment are single, and when there are multiple functional requirements, multiple devices need to be configured separately, resulting in high costs and inconvenient treatment, and that the mineralized water module is generally arranged at the rear end of the water purification module.

[0028] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, the following will briefly introduce the drawings required for the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are some embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the terms indicating the direction or positional relationship such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. This is only for convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation to the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0034] The sources of mineral water include natural mineral water and artificial mineralized water. Natural mineral water is the underground mineral water that gushes out or is collected naturally from deep underground, is unpolluted, and contains a certain amount of mineral salts, trace elements or carbon dioxide gas. Natural drinking water is taken from unpolluted mountain springs and streams, and the content of minerals varies according to different water sources. Artificial mineralized water is made by adding a small amount of mineralizing elements to pure water.

[0035] The natural mineral water and natural water resources are limited. In recent years, due to environmental pollution, the water resources have been severely damaged, making pure water and mineral water the main drinking water for residents in some provinces and cities.

[0036] The production processes of mineral water mainly include three types. The first type is that a liquid prepared by mixing two or more food-grade mineral compounds is called mineralizing liquid, and bottled water manufacturers buy this concentrated liquid and add it to pure water, which is commonly called mineralized water. The second type is to select natural mineral rocks, and through a series of treatments, dissolve them in an acidic solvent, usually called mineral solution, and the bottled water produced is also called mineralized water. The third type is to directly buy food-grade mineral additives, mix them in proportion, and then add them to pure water, which is often called mineral water.

[0037] However, existing water purifiers can only prepare pure water or mineral water separately. When users have a demand for hot water, they also need to use additional heating equipment for heating, and their functions are limited. When people want to prepare any combination of pure water, mineral water, and hot water, they need to purchase two or more sets of equipment, which increases the equipment cost and is inconvenient to use.

[0038] Aiming at the technical problems in the prior art that the function of drinking water treatment is single, and when there are multiple function requirements, multiple devices need to be configured separately, resulting in high cost and inconvenient treatment, the present invention proposes a multi-functional mineralized water system, which can solve the above problems.

[0039] Embodiment 1

[0040] This embodiment proposes a multi-functional mineralized water system, as Figure 1 shown, including a water purification module 11, a heating module 12, and a mineralized water module 13. Among them, the water inlet end of the water purification module 11 is connected to the total water inlet pipe 14 for filtering the inlet water.

[0041] The water inlet end of the heating module 12 is connected to the water outlet end of the water purification module 11 for heating the water entering the heating module 12.

[0042] One of the water inlet ends of the mineralized water module 13 is connected to the water outlet end of the water purification module 11, and the other is connected to the water outlet end of the heating module 12.

[0043] The mineralized water module 13 is used to mineralize the water flowing through it to produce mineralized water. The mineralized water module 13 in the multi-functional mineralized water system of this embodiment is based on the production process of the second type of mineral water, uses mineralized filter media made of mineral rocks, and makes the mineralized filter media into mineralized filter cartridges. When water flows through the mineralized filter media, the minerals in the mineralized filter media precipitate into the water to form mineralized water for supply to the water use terminal.

[0044] By positioning different water use scenarios and adapting to different user groups, mineralized purified water outlet and direct drinking pure water or mineralized direct drinking water outlet at different temperatures are set. The pure double outlet can meet the daily domestic water and drinking water. Mineralized purified water can be used in scenarios such as washing, rinsing vegetables, and cooking porridge, while direct drinking can use direct drinking pure water or mineralized direct drinking water at different temperatures; by positioning different groups of people, the elderly with a higher demand for minerals or teenagers with a demand for minerals can directly drink the mineralized pure water, while infants and young children with imperfect gastrointestinal digestion functions have a low requirement for minerals, so they can drink pure water or use unmineralized hot water to make milk powder, etc.

[0045] The outlet of different temperatures can meet the use scenarios such as direct drinking, making tea, making milk, and making coffee.

[0046] By arranging the heating module 12 at the front end of the mineralized water module 13, when high-temperature water flows through the mineralized water module 13, it can play a role in high-temperature sterilization of the mineralized water module.

[0047] As a preferred embodiment, the mineralized water module 13 can be partitioned to form several independent mineralization chambers, and different filter materials can be filled in each mineralization chamber according to needs to obtain mineralized water containing different minerals.

[0048] Of course, the same filter material can also be filled in each mineralization chamber. By connecting the water inlet ends of different mineralization chambers to different pre-treatment modules, combinations of mineralized water and other different water treatment functions can be obtained to meet different user needs.

[0049] The design of the mineralized water module 13 in this embodiment is different from the conventional vertical stratification. In addition to being able to stratify different ore filter materials in the vertical direction, the mineralization core is divided into two parts in the horizontal direction. One part is for pure water mineralization, and the other part is for purified water mineralization to achieve dual water output. Moreover, the ore filter materials on both sides of the pure water are separated by a heat conductor, so that when hot water passes through the mineralization core for mineralization, heat can be transferred to the purified water mineralization filter material side to inhibit bacteria and achieve the water use safety of dual water output.

[0050] In this embodiment, taking the mineralized water module 13 being partitioned to form two as an example for illustration. Of course, the number of partitions is not limited to two in this embodiment and can be set according to actual needs.

[0051] As Figure 1 shown, the mineralized water module 13 includes a housing 131 and a partition part 132. The partition part 132 is used to partition the interior of the housing 131 to form a first mineralization chamber 1311 and a second mineralization chamber 1312. The first mineralization chamber 1311 and the second mineralization chamber 1312 are independent of each other and not connected.

[0052] The first mineralization chamber 1311 is provided with a first water inlet end and a first water outlet end, and the first water outlet end is connected to the first water outlet pipe 15.

[0053] The second mineralization chamber 1312 is respectively provided with a second water inlet end and a second water outlet end, and the second water outlet end is connected to the second water outlet pipe 16.

[0054] The terminals of the first water outlet pipe 15 and the second water outlet pipe 16 can be respectively connected to different faucets, or can be connected to the same faucet through a tee pipe or a three-way valve.

[0055] As Figure 2As shown in the figure, the three-way valve 24 of this embodiment includes a housing 241, a first water inlet 242, a second water inlet 243, and a water outlet 244. It further includes a first water inlet chamber 245 communicating with the first water inlet 242, a second water inlet chamber 246 communicating with the second water inlet 243, and a water outlet chamber 247 communicating with the water outlet 244. The water outlet chamber 247 is located between the first water inlet chamber 245 and the second water inlet chamber 246. A first communication port is provided between the water outlet chamber 247 and the first water inlet chamber 245, and a second communication port is provided between the water outlet chamber 247 and the second water inlet chamber 246. The first communication port and the second communication port are coaxially arranged.

[0056] The valve stem 248 passes through the first communication port and the second communication port. A first gasket 249 is provided on the valve stem 248, and the first gasket 249 is located in the water outlet chamber 247. By controlling the axial movement of the valve stem 248, it is used to control Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the first gasket 249 blocks the first communication port and opens the second communication port to connect the second water inlet 243 with the water outlet 244. Or it is used to control Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the first gasket 249 blocks the second communication port and opens the first communication port to connect the first water inlet 242 with the water outlet 244, as Figure 3 shown in the figure, thereby realizing the switching of the water path.

[0057] The three-way valve 24 further includes a coil 250 and a spring 252. The valve stem 248 can be realized by using a magnet. One end of the valve stem 248 is connected to the inner wall of the second water inlet chamber 246 through the spring 252, and the other end passes out of the first water inlet chamber 242 to the outside of the housing 241. The coil 250 is sleeved on a section of the valve stem 248 located outside the housing 241. When the coil 250 is energized, Figure 2 as shown in the figure, the first gasket 249 blocks the first communication port and opens the second communication port to connect the second water inlet 243 with the water outlet 244. When the coil 250 is de-energized, Figure 3 as shown in the figure, the first gasket 249 opens the first communication port and blocks the second communication port to connect the first water inlet 242 with the water outlet 244.

[0058] The partition 132 is used to separate two adjacent mineralization chambers, and its two sides are respectively in contact with the two adjacent mineralization chambers. Among the separated mineralization chambers, when one or more mineralization chambers are connected to the water outlet end of the heating module 12, the mineralization chamber will pass through heated hot water.

[0059] High temperature has a bactericidal effect. Therefore, the mineralization chamber through which hot water flows can be sterilized to prevent bacteria from breeding.

[0060] However, the water flowing through the mineralization chamber not connected to the heating module 12 is normal temperature water. The mineralization filter material in the mineralization chamber is prone to bacterial growth during long-term use, and bacteria are more likely to reproduce in an environment of normal temperature water. Since the mineralized water module 13 is arranged at the rear end of the water purification module 11, once bacteria grow in the mineralized water module 13, they cannot be treated, thus affecting human health.

[0061] In order to prevent bacteria from growing in the mineralization chamber through which normal temperature water flows, in this embodiment, it is preferred that the partition 132 is made of a heat-conducting material, which can conduct the heat of the mineralization chamber through which hot water flows to the mineralization chamber through which no hot water passes, preventing the growth of bacteria in the mineralization filter material in each mineralization chamber and improving the safety of water use.

[0062] The partition 132 in this embodiment is implemented in a sheet structure, and its left and right side surfaces are respectively used to enclose the inner walls of two mineralization chambers.

[0063] In addition, compared with the conventional water purification post-mineralization filter element, the multifunctional mineralized water system in this embodiment sets the heating module 12 and arranges the mineralized water module 13 behind the heating module 12. While realizing the integration of purification and heating, the molecular thermal motion is accelerated by heating up, improving the mineral dissolution efficiency.

[0064] In this embodiment, the first water inlet end of the first mineralization chamber 1311 is connected to the water outlet end of the water purification module 11, that is, the water entering the first mineralization chamber 1311 is purified normal temperature water, and the second water inlet end of the second mineralization chamber 1312 is connected to the water outlet end of the heating module 12. That is, the water entering the second mineralization chamber 1312 is purified and heated high-temperature water.

[0065] The water purification module 11 includes a primary water purification filter element 111 and a post-water purification filter element 112. The first water inlet end of the first mineralization chamber 1311 is connected to the water outlet end of the primary water purification filter element 111, and a first water valve 17 is arranged between the first water inlet end and the water outlet end of the primary water purification filter element. The primary purified water enters the first mineralization chamber 1311 through the first water valve 17 for mineralization.

[0066] The water outlet end of the post-water purification filter element 112 is connected to the water inlet end of the heating module 12, and a second water valve 18 is arranged between the water outlet end of the post-water purification filter element 112 and the water inlet end of the heating module 12.

[0067] As Figure 1 shown, the raw water is filtered by the primary water purification filter element 111, and the purified water flowing out of the primary water purification filter element 111 reaches the first mineralization chamber 1311 through the first water valve 17 and is discharged after being mineralized by the first mineralization chamber 1311.

[0068] The primary water purification filter element 111 in this embodiment includes a PP cotton filter element and an activated carbon filter element connected in sequence. The first water inlet end of the first mineralization chamber 1311 is connected to the water outlet end of the activated carbon filter element. The water flowing out of the first mineralization chamber 1311 is water that has undergone primary purification and mineralization.

[0069] The pure water from the post-water purification filter element 112 reaches the heating module 12 through the second water valve 18 for heating, and flows out through the water outlet of the heating module 12. The hot water is mineralized after passing through the second mineralization chamber 1312 to form water that has been purified, heated and mineralized in sequence, and flows out through the second mineralization chamber 1312.

[0070] The post-water purification filter element 112 can be implemented by a reverse osmosis membrane filter element. The pore size of the filter membrane is small, and the pressure of water passing through is relatively large, which cannot be reached by general tap water pressure. In this embodiment, a booster pump 19 is preferably provided between the primary water purification filter element 111 and the post-water purification filter element 112 to increase the water pressure upstream of the post-water purification filter element 112 so that it passes through the post-water purification filter element 112.

[0071] The post-water purification filter element 112 also has a wastewater end, which is connected to the wastewater pipe 20 .

[0072] The pure water outputted by the post-purification filter 112 is divided into two paths, one of which reaches the heating module 12 for heating through the second water valve 18. The other path is connected to the water inlet end, and a backwash valve 21 is arranged between the water outlet end and the water inlet end of the post-purification filter 112.

[0073] The water outlet of the post-clean water filter element 112 can be used as a backwash water path through the backwash valve 21 and connected to the water inlet end of the post-clean water filter element 112. The backwash water is discharged through the waste water pipe 20.

[0074] The waste water from the post-water purification filter 112 flows out through the waste water pipe 20, and a waste water solenoid valve 22 is also provided in the waste water pipe 20 to control the discharge of the waste water.

[0075] The heating module 12 includes a heating tank 121 and a heating pipe 122 disposed in the heating tank 121. The heating tank 121 can be a closed type or a non-closed type. In order to improve the heating efficiency, a closed heating tank 121 is preferably used in this embodiment. Since water will generate water vapor during the heating process, the pressure of the heating tank 121 will increase. In order to improve the safety of the heating tank 121, the heating tank 121 is also provided with an exhaust port, and the exhaust port is connected to an exhaust pipe 123. An exhaust valve 124 is provided in the exhaust pipe 123. The exhaust pipe 123 is connected to the inside of the heating tank 121. When the pressure in the heating tank 121 exceeds the limit value, the exhaust valve 124 is opened to release the pressure in the heating tank 121, thereby ensuring safety in use.

[0076] To prevent the hot air discharged from the exhaust pipe 123 from causing harm to users, in this embodiment, it is preferred that the exhaust pipe 123 is connected to the wastewater pipe 20, and the exhaust port is connected to the wastewater pipe 20 through the exhaust pipe 123. When the pressure in the heating tank 121 exceeds the limit, the exhaust valve 124 opens, and the pressure in the heating tank 121 can be released into the wastewater pipe 20 and discharged along with the wastewater pipe 20 to ensure the safety of users.

[0077] Another path of the water outlet end of the heating module 12 is connected to the second water outlet pipe 23, and a three-way valve 24 is provided among the second water outlet end, the water outlet end of the heating module 12, and the second water outlet pipe 23.

[0078] By controlling the opening state of the three-way valve 24, the water output of purification, heating, and mineralization can be achieved, and the purified and heated purified water can also be achieved.

[0079] This multifunctional mineralized water system can achieve any combination of water output of normal temperature water, warm water, and hot water with mineralization and non-mineralization.

[0080] Embodiment 2

[0081] This embodiment proposes a control method for a multifunctional mineralized water system. As Figure 1 shown, the mineralized water system of this embodiment includes a water purification module 11, a heating module 12, and a mineralized water module 13. Among them, the water inlet end of the water purification module 11 is connected to the total water inlet pipe 14 for filtering the inlet water.

[0082] The water inlet end of the heating module 12 is connected to the water outlet end of the water purification module 11 for heating the water entering the heating module 12.

[0083] One path of the water inlet end of the mineralized water module 13 is connected to the water outlet end of the water purification module 11, and the other path is connected to the water outlet end of the heating module 12.

[0084] The mineralized water module 13 is used for mineralizing the water flowing through it to produce mineralized water. The mineralized water module 13 in the multifunctional mineralized water system of this embodiment is based on the production process of the second type of mineral water, uses a mineralized filter material made of mineral rock as the raw material, and makes the mineralized filter material into a mineralized filter element. When the water flows through the mineralized filter material, the minerals in the mineralized filter material precipitate into the water to form mineralized water for supplying to the water using terminal.

[0085] A mineral concentration detection module 25 is provided at the water outlet end of the mineralized water module 13 or in the water pipe connected to the water outlet end of the mineralized water module 13. The mineral concentration detection module 25 is used for detecting the mineral content in the water and sending it to the control module (not shown in the figure). The control module determines the heating temperature according to the mineral content and controls the heating module 12 to heat.

[0086] By setting up a mineral concentration detection module 25, when the corresponding mineral concentration is lower than the preset value, a signal is transmitted to the control module through a feedback loop, and the control module controls to increase the heating temperature to increase the dissolution of minerals.

[0087] The dissolution mode of the filled mineralized filter material can be determined through the system preset method. The specific principle is as follows: When mineralization is carried out with pure water, the dissolution rate of the mineralized filter material is mainly affected by the particle size of the filter material, temperature, and water flow rate. For the same batch of the same type of filter material, when the filling degree of the filter element is certain, the particle size of the filter material is the same. Therefore, taking temperature and flow rate as independent variables and the mineral dissolution rate as the dependent variable, a mathematical model of the mineral dissolution rate and temperature and flow rate can be determined in advance. During the actual operation of the filter element, the flow rate and temperature can be measured, and then through the mathematical model imported into the system in advance, the system automatically calculates the mineral content of the effluent. After comparing with the set value, if the mineral concentration is lower than the preset value, it is fed back to the heating system to adjust the temperature to achieve the best mineralization experience.

[0088] The mineral concentration detection module 25 can be implemented by an ion-selective electrode (probe) to measure the ion concentration in the influent and effluent of the mineralized filter element to characterize its mineralization degree; it can also take a water sample from the effluent and use a mineral detection reagent to detect the mineral concentration of the effluent.

[0089] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it is still possible to modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions required to be protected by the present invention.
