Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water softeners, and in particular to a salt storage device and a water softener. Background Art

[0002] A water softener is a device that removes calcium and magnesium ions from water through ion exchange resin to reduce water hardness. Specifically, a water softener mainly includes a resin unit, a control device, and a salt tank for regenerating the resin unit. When working, the functional ions on the resin unit are exchanged with the calcium and magnesium ions in the water, thereby absorbing the excess calcium and magnesium ions in the water, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing water hardness and removing scale.

[0003] The existing technology has the following problems:

[0004] In the existing salt storage devices and water softeners, the salt storage boxes are mostly wet salt boxes, which contain water for a long time and are prone to breed bacteria. If the salt that breeds bacteria is used to regenerate the resin, it is easy to pollute the resin, and then the water softened by the water softener is polluted. Long-term drinking of polluted water will affect the health of the user; in the existing salt storage devices and water softeners, there will be some impurities when pumping water, which makes it inconvenient to filter it. Over time, the impurities are ready to be adsorbed in the inner cavity of the resin tank, thereby affecting the service life of the resin tank; in the existing salt storage devices and water softeners, it is not easy to disassemble the devices, so it is not easy to replace or clean the filter in the filter device.

When the filter device needs to be disassembled, the top of the positioning pin is plugged into the bottom of the pipe through the action of the positioning pin, so as to prevent the upper bracket shell from rotating with the rotation of the locking nut when the locking nut is rotated, which makes it inconvenient to connect the two ends of the filter device with the water inlet pipe. Under the action of the support ring, the position of the positioning pin is conveniently controlled, so that the positioning pin is pulled out from the bottom of the pipe. Under the action of the annular sealing gasket and the annular airbag cushion, the air tightness of the connection between the filter device and the water inlet pipe is improved, and water leakage is prevented from occurring at the connection between the filter device and the water inlet pipe.

Under the action of the fixed guide sleeve 59 and the positioning guide column 510, it is convenient to position the filter support box 58 to prevent the filter support box 58 from shaking. When the filter support box 58 is disassembled, the return spring 512 is used to push the support plate 511 to pop the fixed guide sleeve 59 out of the positioning guide column 510, thereby achieving the purpose of facilitating the disassembly of the filter support box 58. Under the action of the locking ring buckle 54, it is convenient to take out the inner cavity of the filter device 5 in the filter support box 58, thereby achieving the purpose of facilitating the replacement or cleaning of the first filter screen 52 and the second filter screen 53. Example

[0035] like Figure 1-5As shown, on the basis of Example 1, the present invention provides a technical solution: preferably, a positioning pin 66 is inserted into the bottom of the pipe 61, a support ring 64 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the positioning pin 66, a support spring 67 is overlapped at the bottom of the positioning pin 66 and located on the front side of the upper bracket shell 51, an annular airbag cushion 65 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the support ring 64 and the top of the upper bracket shell 51 and located on the outer wall of the positioning pin 66, and an annular sealing gasket 63 is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the positioning pin 66 and located between the pipe 61 and the support ring 64.

Under the action of the annular sealing gasket 63 and the annular airbag cushion 65, the air tightness of the connection between the filter device 5 and the water inlet pipe 6 is improved, and water leakage is prevented from occurring at the connection between the filter device 5 and the water inlet pipe 6.

[0037] The working principle of the salt storage device and the water softener is described in detail below.

[0038] like Figure 1-5As shown, first, open the cover on the top of the salt storage box 1, pour the salt into the inner cavity of the salt storage box 1, and start the water inlet pipe pump 2 to inject water into the inner cavity of the salt water mixing box 4, and at the same time, use the driving motor 3 to drive the gear 1 31 and the bracket plate 32 to rotate, and use the gear 1 31 and the gear 2 36 to drive the screw rod 37 to rotate under the driving action of the driving motor 3, so as to achieve the purpose of facilitating the discharge of salt, and use the driving motor 3 to drive the bracket plate 32 to drive the elastic bracket 34 and the scraper 35 to rotate, so that the scraper 35 scrapes the bottom of the inner wall of the salt water mixing box 4, thereby preventing the salt from being adsorbed in the salt water mixing box 4. The bottom of the cavity is formed, and the salt and water in the inner cavity of the salt water mixing box 4 are stirred to fully blend. The fused salt water enters the inner cavity of the resin tank 7. At the same time, the water to be softened is pumped in from the left end of the water inlet pipe 6. When hard water is injected, the water entering the water inlet pipe 6 is filtered through the action of the first filter screen 52 and the second filter screen 53 to prevent impurities in the hard water from entering the resin tank 7. The impurities are adsorbed on the inner wall of the resin tank 7, thereby affecting the service life of the resin tank 7. Under the action of the fixing guide sleeve 59 and the positioning guide column 510, it is convenient to position the filter support box 58 to prevent the filter support box 58 from shaking. When the frame box 58 is disassembled, the return spring 512 is used to push the support plate 511, and the fixed guide sleeve 59 is ejected from the positioning guide column 510, so as to facilitate the disassembly of the filter support box 58. Under the action of the locking ring buckle 54, it is convenient to take out the inner cavity of the filter device 5 in the filter support box 58, so as to facilitate the replacement or cleaning of the first filter 52 and the second filter 53. Through the action of the positioning pin 66, the top of the positioning pin 66 is plugged into the bottom of the pipe 61, so as to prevent the upper bracket shell 51 from rotating with the rotation of the locking nut 62 when the locking nut 62 is rotated, which is inconvenient In order to connect the two ends of the filter device 5 with the water inlet pipe 6, under the action of the support ring 64, it is convenient to control the position of the positioning pin 66, so that the positioning pin 66 is pulled out from the bottom of the pipe 61. Under the action of the annular sealing gasket 63 and the annular airbag cushion 65, the air tightness of the connection between the filter device 5 and the water inlet pipe 6 is improved to prevent water leakage at the connection between the filter device 5 and the water inlet pipe 6. The water softened by the resin tank 7 is pumped into the inner cavity of the softening water storage tank 9 by the water outlet pump pipe 8 to store the softened water. After a period of use, the debris generated by the softened water is discharged from the sewage pipe 10, thereby completing the entire hard water softening process.

[0039] The above generally describes the present invention in detail, but it is obvious to a person skilled in the art that some modifications or improvements can be made to the present invention. Therefore, modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
