[0063] In the related art, a water softening device is a device that removes calcium and magnesium ions in water using cation exchange resin to reduce the hardness of raw water, thereby achieving the effect of softening hard water. The water softening device is currently widely used in industry and energy systems, and has a heavy equipment attribute. In home use, the soft water produced by the water softening device usually has the effects of reducing scale in water heating equipment such as water heaters, wall-mounted furnaces, electric water heaters, and bathrooms, avoiding pipe blockage, reducing the decay of heat exchange efficiency of heating equipment, reducing the use of detergents, being more friendly to human skin, making washed clothes softer and brighter in color, and the like.
[0064] As shown in Figures 1 to 8 The present application provides a water distributor assembly 100, which includes a disc body 110 and a support 120. It should be noted that the water distributor assembly 100 is applied in a tank assembly of a water softening device, the tank assembly is provided with resin, and the water distributor assembly 100 can uniformly distribute the water flow entering the tank assembly, so as to ensure that the water flow can evenly flow through the resin layer, thereby improving the efficiency and uniformity of ion exchange in the water and the resin layer. At the same time, the water distributor assembly 100 also plays a role of preventing resin particles from flowing out of the tank with the water flow, i.e. ensuring that the resin particles are retained in the tank, while allowing the water flow to pass. In addition, the water distributor assembly 100 can also have the function of supporting layer, preventing the resin particles from moving due to water flow impact, and maintaining the stability and effective working volume of the resin layer.
[0065] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 to 3As shown, the periphery of the disc body 110 is adapted to abut against the inner wall of the tank body assembly, the disc body 110 comprises a plurality of vertical ribs 111 and a plurality of circular ribs 112, the plurality of circular ribs 112 are arranged in concentric circles, and any two adjacent circular ribs 112 are connected by the vertical rib 111. The support 120 is arranged on one side of the disc body 110, and the support 120 is used to support the disc body 110. The support 120 comprises a plurality of connecting ribs 121, one end of each of the plurality of connecting ribs 121 is connected to the same circular rib 112, and the plurality of connecting ribs 121 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the circular rib 112, and each connecting rib 121 extends along the axis direction of the circular rib 112. Any two adjacent connecting ribs 121 form a hollow part. When the water flow flows into the resin layer from the water distributor assembly 100, the hollow part guides the water flow to flow radially outward, so that the water flow can be uniformly distributed on the cross section of the tank body. The filter screen is covered on the disc body 110, which is used to prevent resin particles from leaking out of the disc body 110, and the filter screen can also provide additional filtering effect to ensure the purity of the output water quality.
[0066] In addition, in some examples, the distance between any two adjacent connecting ribs 121 is equal, which further uniformly guides the water flow.
[0067] According to the water distributor assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the support 120 on the disc body 110 and arranging the connecting rib 121 on the support 120, any two adjacent connecting ribs 121 form a hollow part. When the water flow flows into the resin layer from the water distributor assembly 100, the hollow part guides the water flow to flow radially outward. And the distance between any two adjacent connecting ribs 121 is equal, so that the water flow can be uniformly distributed on the cross section of the tank body, and the efficiency and uniformity of the exchange between the ions in the water flow and the resin layer are improved.
[0068] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present application, in the radial outward direction of the circular rib 112, the distance between any two adjacent circular ribs 112 gradually increases. In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in the drawings, Figure 1 The vertical rib 111 is eight, and the eight vertical ribs 111 are uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction, and each vertical rib 111 extends in the radial direction of the circular rib 112. The circular rib 112 is four, and the four circular ribs 112 are arranged in concentric circles. And the circular rib 112 and the vertical rib 111 form a fan-shaped hole, and in the radial outward direction of the disc body 110, the radial width of the fan-shaped hole is L0, L1 and L2 in turn, wherein L0 < L1 < L2. The water flow can be divided by the fan-shaped hole on the water distributor assembly 100, wherein in the radial outward direction of the disc body 110, the water flow passing through the fan-shaped hole is larger and larger, allowing more water flow to pass through the peripheral part of the disc body 110, and relatively reducing the water flow passing through the central part of the disc body 110.
[0069] In this way, when the water flow passes through the fan-shaped holes formed by the vertical ribs 111 and the circular ribs 112, the water flow is guided and dispersed to each area inside the tank body, so that the water flow can be uniformly distributed on the cross section of the tank body, which not only ensures that the water flow can fully contact the resin layer in the tank body, thereby maximizing the ion exchange efficiency of the resin, but also makes the flow rate distribution of the water flow more uniform when passing through the resin layer, thereby reducing the problem of uneven utilization of the resin or channel flow that may be caused by uneven water flow.
[0070] As shown in Figure 3 some embodiments of the present application, the support 120 further comprises a support rib 122, which is adapted to be in contact with the bottom of the tank body assembly, and the other end of each connecting rib 121 is connected to the support rib 122. The support rib 122 can increase the structural stability of the entire support 120. When the water flow passes through the water distributor assembly 100, a certain pressure may be exerted on the support 120. The presence of the support rib 122 can prevent the support 120 from being deformed or bent unnecessarily, thereby ensuring that the support 120 maintains its original shape and stability.
[0071] As shown in Figure 3 some embodiments of the present application, the support rib 122 is an annular rib, which can form a continuous annular support structure at the bottom of the tank body assembly, thereby ensuring that the support rib 122 is uniformly distributed in the entire bottom area of the tank body assembly, thereby providing uniform support force for the disc body 110 and helping to maintain the stability of the entire water distributor assembly 100. Compared with a single central support point, the annular rib can uniformly distribute its own weight in the bottom area of the tank body assembly, which helps to avoid single-point pressure in the bottom area of the tank body assembly and reduces the risk of damage to the bottom area of the tank body.
[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, at least one connecting rib 121 is provided with a guide angle. The process guide angle can increase the water guiding effect of the connecting rib 121, thereby improving and guiding the path of the water flow to achieve a more efficient and uniform distribution effect of the water flow. The guide angle is formed on the water flow contact surface of the connecting rib 121, and the angle and shape thereof make the water flow produce a smooth turning effect when contacting the connecting rib 121. The guide angle not only reduces the direct impact of the water flow on the connecting rib 121, thereby reducing the wear of the connecting rib 121, but also helps to reduce the turbulence and uneven flow rate distribution that may be generated when the water flow passes through the resin layer. Of course, the setting mode of the guide angle is not limited to this, and in some other embodiments of the present application, the guide angle can also be provided on the support rib 122, or in some other embodiments, at least one vertical rib 111 is also provided with a guide angle, or the guide angle can also be provided on at least one circular rib 112.
[0073] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the connecting rib 121 can also be a plurality of support columns 123, and the number of support columns 123 can be 4-8, for example, as shown in Figure 4 As shown, the number of support columns can be 4. In this way, by designing a plurality of support columns, the bracket 120 can adapt to tank body assemblies of different sizes and shapes, improving the adaptability of the bracket 120. In addition, the plurality of support columns 123 helps to uniformly disperse the pressure of the water flow on the bracket 120, avoiding single-point pressure and stress concentration on the bottom of the tank body 200, and improving the durability of the tank body bottom.
[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, the mesh number of the filter screen is 80-400 meshes, for example, the mesh number of the filter screen can be 100 meshes, so that the filter screen can block resin particles while maintaining the smoothness of the water flow, avoiding water flow blockage or pressure loss caused by too small filter screen pores.
[0075] As shown in Figure 9 As shown in one embodiment of the present application, the disc body 110 further comprises a perforated plate 117, which is connected with the circular rib 111 and the vertical rib 112, and the perforated plate 117 is provided with a plurality of small holes 1171. In the radial outward direction of the disc body 110, the small holes 1171 are arranged in a radial pattern, and there is at least one small hole 1171 in the area enclosed by any two adjacent vertical ribs 112 and two adjacent partial circular ribs 111. The small holes 1171 on the perforated plate 117 can further disperse the water flow, so that the water flow is more evenly distributed inside the tank body 210, improving the contact area between the water flow and the resin, thereby improving the efficiency of ion exchange. At the same time, the arrangement of the small holes 1171 can also prevent resin particles from being moved by the impact of the water flow, maintaining the stability of the resin layer and the effective working volume. In addition, the arrangement of the perforated plate 117 can also enhance the structural stability of the disc body 110, improve the self-bearing capacity of the disc body 110, and prevent the disc body 110 from deforming under the impact of the water flow.
[0076] As shown in Figure 9 As shown in one embodiment of the present application, the plurality of small holes 1171 are arranged in concentric circles around the center of the disc body 110, further evenly distributing the water flow on the disc body 110. In addition, by adjusting the number and size of the small holes 1171, the water distribution can be adjusted to make the water flow more uniform on the entire cross section, further improving the water distribution effect in the regeneration state and improving the water production.
[0077] As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the water distributor assembly 100 further includes a central tube 130. Water softened by the displacement reaction with the resin can flow out of the tank assembly through the central tube 130. Alternatively, during resin regeneration, the regenerated liquid can flow into the tank assembly from the central tube 130 and enter the resin layer. The disc 110 has a central insertion hole 113, the wall of which is connected to the innermost circular rib 112. The central tube 130 passes through the insertion hole 113. The size and shape of the insertion hole 113 match the central tube 130, ensuring stable insertion and reducing loosening or wear between the central tube 130 and the disc 110 caused by water flow impact and mechanical vibration.
[0078] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the wall of the insertion hole 113 has a stepped surface 114, and the central tube 130 abuts against the stepped surface 114, thereby limiting the central tube 130 to the disc body 110 and preventing the disc body 110 from moving in the axial direction due to the water flow pressure. Furthermore, by setting the stepped surface 114, installers can determine the correct insertion depth of the central tube 130, avoiding over-insertion or under-insertion of the central tube 130 into the insertion hole 113, making the installation process more efficient and accurate. When the central tube 130 abuts against the stepped surface 114, the position of the water distributor assembly 100 in the tank can be positioned, helping to ensure the correct installation position of the water distributor assembly 100, thereby ensuring the performance of the water distributor assembly 100. In addition, the stepped surface 114 can act as a sealing surface, increasing the contact area between the central tube 130 and the insertion hole 113, which is beneficial for installing the sealing ring 116 or other sealing elements, thereby improving the overall sealing performance of the water distributor assembly 100.
[0079] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the depth of the insertion hole 113 is greater than the thickness of the rib 112. This ensures a deeper insertion length for the central tube 130 when it is inserted into the insertion hole 113, providing better support and positioning. Furthermore, a greater hole depth than the rib 112 reduces the likelihood of stress concentration at the edge of the rib 112 due to insertion, preventing damage or deformation of the rib 112 and improving the durability and reliability of the entire water distributor assembly 100. The deeper insertion hole 113 also provides more operating space for installing and removing the central tube 130.
[0080] like Figure 6As shown, the application also provides a tank assembly, which comprises the water distributor assembly 100 and a tank body 200, the water distributor assembly 100 is arranged in the tank body 200, and the tank body 200 is further provided with a resin layer. It should be noted that the tank body 200 is provided with resin, and both ends of the central pipe 130 are provided with the disc 110, and the water distributor assembly 100 can perform forward washing and backwashing on the resin layer in the tank body 200. When forward washing, the softened water is divided by the disc 110 at one end of the central pipe 130 into the resin layer in the tank body 200, and after ion exchange between the softened water and the resin layer, the softened water becomes soft water, and finally flows out of the tank body 200 from the central pipe 130. When backwashing, the regeneration liquid enters the tank body 200 from the central pipe 130, and then is divided by the disc 110 into the resin layer in the tank body 200, so as to regenerate the resin layer.
[0081] The tank assembly provided by the application has the beneficial effects of the water distributor assembly 100 as described above, and details are not repeated here.
[0082] As shown in the drawings, Figure 4 In some embodiments of the application, the periphery of the disc 110 is provided with a matching part, which is in interference fit with the inner wall of the tank body 200. In this way, the leakage of resin from the gap between the disc 110 and the tank body 200 can be prevented, and in addition, the positioning accuracy of the disc 110 on the tank body 200 can be improved, and the vibration resistance of the water distributor can be improved. This ensures that the disc 110 can still maintain a fixed position during the operation of the soft water equipment, and reduces the probability of displacement under the influence of water flow pressure or mechanical vibration.
[0083] In addition, since the matching part can be directly in interference fit with the inner wall of the tank body 200, additional fixing parts such as screws or adhesives can be reduced during installation of the water distributor, thereby simplifying the assembly process of the water distributor assembly 100, thereby improving the assembly efficiency. In addition, the interference fit between the matching part and the tank body 200 can form a tight interface between the water distributor and the barrel 210, which can prevent the leakage of resin particles. Due to the stability of the position of the water distributor, it can be ensured that the water flow uniformly passes through the water distributor and effectively contacts the resin layer, so as to ensure the uniformity and effectiveness of ion exchange in the water treatment process.
[0084] As shown in the drawings, Figure 8As shown in some embodiments of the present application, the peripheral wall of the disc body 110 is provided with a sealing groove, the matching part is a sealing ring 116 arranged in the sealing groove, and the sealing ring 116 abuts against the inner wall of the tank body 200. In this way, the sealing property between the disc body 110 and the tank body 200 can be improved, preventing resin from leaking to the outside of the water distributor assembly 100, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of water treatment. In addition, the arrangement of the sealing ring 116 can also prevent sediment, particles or other impurities that may be brought in with the water flow from entering the inside of the tank body assembly, thereby providing additional protection for the water distributor assembly 100 and the resin layer. The sealing ring 116 can be made of silicone or other rubber sealing materials and integrally formed with the disc body 110 by double injection molding to achieve sealing and prevent resin leakage.
[0085] As shown in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 4 the matching part is a matching boss arranged on the peripheral wall of the disc body 110, and the matching boss is in interference fit with the inner wall of the tank body 200, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the water distributor on the tank body 200. In addition, when the disc body 110 is installed into the tank body 200, a stable interference fit can be achieved by simple pressing or tapping, thereby simplifying the installation process.
[0086] As shown in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 the tank body 200 includes a barrel 210 and a plug cover 220, the disc body 110 abuts against the inner wall of the barrel 210, and the plug cover 220 is provided with an insertion part 221 which abuts against the barrel 210, so that the plug cover 220 is detachably connected with the barrel 210. In this way, a good sealing effect can be provided between the plug cover 220 and the barrel 210, preventing leakage of water or resin, and ensuring that the water quality during water treatment is not contaminated. The support 120 abuts against the inner wall of the plug cover 220, which can provide additional support for the disc body 110, so that the water distributor assembly 100 remains stable under the pressure of the water flow, preventing deformation or displacement caused by gravity or fluid power.
[0087] As shown in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 8 the free end of the insertion part 221 abuts against the peripheral edge of the disc body 110, so that the insertion part 221 can provide additional mechanical support for the water distributor assembly 100, ensuring that the disc body 110 is correctly positioned in the tank body 200, ensuring the stability of the disc body 110 in the tank body 200, and preventing displacement of the disc body 110, thereby maintaining the uniformity of the water flow through the resin layer.
[0088] As shown in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the free end of the insertion part 221 has a groove 222, and the periphery of the disc 110 extends axially with a protrusion 115. The protrusion 115 cooperates with the groove 222 to limit the stopper 220 on the disc 110, thereby further restricting the movement of the disc 110 within the tank and improving the stability of the entire water distributor assembly 100. Especially under changes in water flow and pressure, it can effectively prevent the disc 110 from shifting and affecting water distribution. The method of using the groove 222 and the protrusion 115 to limit the disc 110 can reduce component wear or damage caused by improper installation or long-term use.
[0089] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the inner wall of the plug 220 is a spherical surface, and the support 120 abuts against the spherical surface. This spherical surface provides excellent water flow guidance, allowing water to flow smoothly along the surface, reducing flow resistance and eddy currents, and improving the stability and uniformity of the water flow. The spherical surface design reduces dead zones in water flow more effectively than right-angled or sharp-angled designs, helping to prevent localized circulation of water on the inner wall of the plug 220, reducing the formation of stagnant zones, and thus improving water treatment efficiency. The spherical surface is easier to clean than flat surfaces or other shapes; its lack of sharp edges reduces the likelihood of dirt and biofilm adhesion, maintaining the long-term cleanliness and efficient operation of the water distribution system. Because the spherical surface is a continuous curved surface, it has better structural strength and stability under pressure, contributing to improved equipment durability.
[0090] The present invention also provides a water softening device (not shown in the figure), including the aforementioned tank assembly (not shown in the figure), water circuit component (not shown in the figure), and control valve (not shown in the figure). The water circuit component is connected to the tank body 200 of the tank assembly, and the control valve is connected to the water circuit component, the control valve being used to control the switching of the water circuit within the water circuit component.
[0091] The water softening equipment provided by the present invention includes the aforementioned tank assembly, and therefore has the beneficial effects of the aforementioned tank assembly, which will not be elaborated here.
[0092] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and not for limiting the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various combinations, modifications, or equivalent substitutions of the technical solutions of the present invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention and should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
