Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of water purification, and more particularly to an intelligent water purification control method and water purification system. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of water purification technology, water purifiers that use devices such as reverse osmosis membranes for filtration are becoming increasingly popular. However, after prolonged use, concentrated wastewater remains inside the reverse osmosis membrane, causing salts or other dissolved solids to adhere to the membrane and reducing its lifespan. Therefore, it is necessary to flush the water purifier regularly.
[0003] In practical applications, filtered water or raw water is typically used to flush the wastewater side of the reverse osmosis pressure membrane, and the flushed water is then directly discharged. However, this flushing method results in the water purifier discharging a large amount of wastewater during the flushing process, reducing the water production efficiency of the water purifier and wasting water resources.
[0004] Therefore, it is particularly important to provide an intelligent water purification control method to improve flushing and water production efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides an intelligent water purification control method and system, which can provide a multi-stage flushing and water production control mechanism. It adopts a dual-filter component structure, and through the flushing operation between filter unit groups and the burst flushing process of the pre-filter, it achieves rapid flushing while saving water consumption during the flushing process. This allows for effective flushing and water production of the water purification system, significantly improving the intelligent control level of the water purification system, increasing the flushing efficiency of the filter element, increasing the water production rate of the water purification system, improving the quality of the first cup water, and avoiding water waste.

The raw water branch is equipped with a booster device to generate a water pressure difference. The booster device is located upstream of the product water branch. The method is characterized by the addition of a pre-filter on the raw water branch. The product water branch includes a first filtration unit group and a second filtration unit group. The first filtration unit group includes a first filter... The method comprises: a filter inlet, a first filter element assembly, a first wastewater outlet, and a first pure water outlet; a second filtration unit assembly including a second filter inlet, a second filter element assembly, a second wastewater outlet, and a second pure water outlet; the first wastewater outlet being connected to the second filter inlet; both the first and second pure water outlets being connected to the pure water discharge branch; the first pure water outlet also being connected to a first pure water return branch; the second pure water outlet also being connected to a second pure water return branch; and the second wastewater outlet being connected to the wastewater discharge branch.
[0007] Determine whether the water production branch meets the flushing conditions;

[0081] This invention discloses an intelligent water purification control method and device. This method and device provide a multi-stage flushing and water production control mechanism, employing a dual-filtration component structure. Through flushing operations between filter units and a pre-filter flushing process, rapid flushing is achieved while conserving water during the flushing process.

Detailed descriptions follow.
[0082] Example 1
[0083] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of an intelligent water purification control method disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the intelligent water purification control method may include the following operations:
[0084] 101. Determine whether the water production branch meets the flushing conditions.
[0085] In this embodiment of the invention, the water purification system includes a raw water branch, a booster device, a product water branch, a wastewater discharge branch, and a pure water discharge branch. The booster device, located upstream of the product water branch, generates a water pressure difference. The product water branch includes a first filtration unit group and a second filtration unit group. The first filtration unit group includes a first filter inlet, a first filter assembly, a first wastewater outlet, and a first pure water outlet. The second filtration unit group includes a second filter inlet, a second filter assembly, a second wastewater outlet, and a second pure water outlet. The first wastewater outlet is connected to the second filter inlet. Both the first and second pure water outlets are connected to the pure water discharge branch. The first pure water outlet is also connected to a first pure water return branch, and the second pure water outlet is also connected to a second pure water return branch. The second wastewater outlet is connected to the wastewater discharge branch. A pre-filter is also provided on the raw water branch, located upstream of the booster device. The second wastewater outlet is also connected to the wastewater return branch. Raw water flows through a pre-filter and is pressurized by a booster device before entering the first filtration unit group. The first filtration unit group filters the water into pure water and wastewater. The pure water can either flow back to the upstream of the pre-filter via the first pure water return branch and then enter the product water branch via the booster device, or it can be discharged through the pure water discharge branch. Wastewater can enter the second filtration unit group, where it is further filtered into pure water and wastewater. The pure water can either flow back to the upstream of the pre-filter via the second pure water return branch and then enter the product water line via the booster device, or it can be discharged through the pure water discharge branch. Wastewater can be directly discharged through the wastewater discharge branch. This invention requires determining whether the product water branch meets the flushing conditions, i.e., whether the filter element meets the flushing conditions. The flushing operation is only initiated when the flushing conditions are met. For example, after a user accumulates a certain volume of water, the flushing operation is initiated when the TDS at the wastewater outlet changes to a certain value. In this embodiment, the pre-filter is used to buffer the water input from the raw water branch and / or the pure water return branch. The pre-filter may include a single-chamber water storage device, a multi-chamber water storage device, an airbag water storage device, a filtration device, etc., and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. Furthermore, it should be noted that the present invention does not limit the capacity of the pre-filter; preferably, the capacity of the pre-filter is not fixed but adjustable.
[0086] 102. When it is determined that the water production branch meets the flushing conditions, the water purification system is controlled to perform a flushing operation, which includes a first-stage flushing, and / or a second-stage flushing, and / or a third-stage flushing.
[0087] In this embodiment of the invention, when it is determined that the water production branch meets the flushing conditions, it indicates that the first filter element assembly and / or the second filter element assembly need to be flushed. In this embodiment, the flushing of the filter elements is divided into three stages: a first-stage flushing, and / or a second-stage flushing, and / or a third-stage flushing. The flushing sequence of the three stages is not limited in this embodiment.
[0088] 103. During the first stage of rinsing, control the water purification system to perform the first rinsing operation.
[0089] In this embodiment of the invention, the first rinsing operation is used to return the pure water produced by the first and second filter unit groups to the pre-filter via the first and second pure water return branches, respectively. This pushes the water in the pre-filter to the pressurization device and then into the product water branch to rinse the first and second filter element assemblies. Through the first rinsing operation, the pure water produced by the first and second filter unit groups is returned, diluting the raw water in the pre-filter to a low concentration. At this time, the wastewater discharge branch can discharge at a low flow rate or be closed (it can also be closed first, then discharged at a low flow rate; or discharged at a certain flow rate first, and then the discharge flow rate gradually reduced to closure; this embodiment of the invention does not limit this). It should be noted that the wastewater discharge volume is equal to the inflow volume through the raw water branch; the lower the wastewater discharge volume, the lower the concentration of the diluted water in the pre-filter.
[0090] 104. During the second stage of rinsing, control the water purification system to perform the second rinsing operation.
[0091] In this embodiment of the invention, the second flushing operation is used to shut off the first pure water return branch and return the pure water generated by the second filtration unit group to the pre-filter via the second pure water return branch, so as to push the water in the pre-filter to the booster device and then input it into the product water branch to flush the first filter element assembly and the second filter element assembly. Through the second flushing operation, only the pure water generated by the second filtration unit group is used to further dilute the water in the pre-filter, further reducing the salt content in the flushed filter element.
[0092] 105. During the third stage of rinsing, control the water purification system to perform the third rinsing operation.
[0093] In this embodiment of the invention, the third flushing operation is used to open the wastewater discharge branch and push the water in the pre-filter to the booster device and then into the product water branch to flush the first and second filter elements. At this time, the wastewater discharge branch is opened at a high flow rate, rapidly flushing the low-concentration water in the pre-filter into the wastewater filtration side of the first and / or second filter elements, flushing and replacing the high-concentration wastewater on the wastewater filtration side. Because the wastewater discharge branch is open at a large degree at this time, the influent to the first and / or second filter elements is hardly concentrated, and the wastewater concentration on the wastewater filtration side of the entire filter assembly is almost equal to the concentration on the influent side of the filter assembly, resulting in an extremely low average water concentration (equilibrium concentration) for the entire filter assembly.
[0094] It should be noted that the entire rinsing operation may include any one, two, or three of the following: the first stage rinsing, the second stage rinsing, and the third stage rinsing. This embodiment of the invention does not limit the scope of the rinsing operation.
[0095] 106. Determine whether the water production branch meets the water production conditions.
[0096] 107. When it is determined that the water production branch meets the water production conditions, control the water purification system to perform the first stage of water production and the second stage of water production.
[0097] 108. During the first stage of water production, control the water purification system to perform the first water production operation.
[0098] In this embodiment of the invention, the first water production operation controls the pure water produced by the second filtration unit group to be returned via the second pure water return branch, mixed with raw water, and then input into the pre-filter device. After passing through the booster device, the pure water is then input into the first filtration unit group, and the pure water produced by the first filtration unit group is discharged through the pure water discharge branch. During the first water production operation, the wastewater discharge branch can be opened or closed for a period of time before opening; this embodiment of the invention does not impose any limitations. This reduces the amount of wastewater discharged and saves water. At this time, only the pure water produced by the second filtration unit group is returned, mixed with raw water, input into the pre-filter device, and then pressurized before entering the first filtration unit group, where the pure water produced by the first filtration unit group is used.
[0099] 109. During the second stage of water production, control the water purification system to perform the second water production operation.
[0100] In this embodiment of the invention, the second water production operation is used to discharge the pure water produced by the first filtration unit group and the second filtration unit group through the pure water discharge branch, respectively.

Through the rinsing operation between the filter unit groups and the burst rinsing process of the pre-filter, it can achieve the purpose of rapid rinsing while saving water consumption in the rinsing process. At the same time, it can continue to perform mixed water production operation through wastewater recirculation, forming the reuse of mixed water in the pre-filter and wastewater in the water production process, thus achieving the purpose of secondary water saving. It can solve the problem of poor water quality in the first cup when users take water, and at the same time improve the water production rate of the water purifier and avoid water waste.

[0137] In this embodiment of the invention, whether in the first or second stage of water production, the opening or closing of the wastewater return branch can be controlled by monitoring whether the water quality value at the wastewater outlet or the filter inlet exceeds the standard. Simultaneously, the wastewater recycling ratio can be adjusted based on the aforementioned parameters to achieve precise wastewater utilization.
[0138] As can be seen, the method described in the embodiments of the present invention can provide a multi-stage rinsing and water production control mechanism, while adopting a dual-filtration component structure. Through the rinsing operation between the filter unit groups and the burst flushing process of the pre-filter, it can achieve the purpose of rapid rinsing while saving water consumption in the rinsing process. It also provides a flexible control mode, dynamically adjusting the wastewater recycling ratio without increasing the salinity of the filter element, achieving a level of fine control of wastewater return, which is conducive to achieving precise rinsing of the filter element, while increasing the wastewater recycling rate, and further improving the water production rate of the filtration system.
