[0056] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numbers represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0057] The present application provides an intermittent regeneration control method of an electrodeposition filter element, setting the regeneration condition of the electrodeposition filter element, and regenerating the electrodeposition filter element when the capacity of the electrodeposition filter element meets the regeneration condition.

[0058] The regeneration condition is that the remaining capacity of the electrodeposition filter element is less than 90%.

[0059] In the prior art, the electrodeposition filter element is regenerated only after the capacity is exhausted, the regeneration time is long and water cannot be produced during regeneration, resulting in a long waiting time for the user. In order to solve this problem, the present application provides an intermittent regeneration control method of an electrodeposition filter element, which is regenerated intermittently during use, and the electrodeposition filter element continuously maintains a high capacity (water production capacity) and can provide a large amount of water to the user at any time. In addition, the regeneration condition is that the remaining capacity of the electrodeposition filter element is less than 90%, i.e. when the remaining capacity of the electrodeposition filter element is less than 90%, regeneration is started, further reducing the regeneration time and maintaining a large capacity of the electrodeposition filter element.

[0060] The electric adsorption filter core in the method is any one of a capacitive desalination filter core, a membrane capacitive desalination filter core and a bipolar membrane filter core; preferably, the electric adsorption filter core in the application is a bipolar membrane filter core. When the electric adsorption filter core is powered on, directional migration of cations and anions in water is caused and the cations and anions are adsorbed on the filter core membrane, so that purification treatment of water is realized.

[0061] In the application, the capacity of the electric adsorption filter core is calculated according to total salt content, total electricity or total water production, and the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter core is calculated according to the processed salt content, processed electricity or processed water content of the electric adsorption filter core.

[0062] The total water production of the electric adsorption filter core is water production capacity, and in the application, the total water production of the electric adsorption filter core refers to the water content that can be treated by the filter core under the conditions of meeting the specified voltage, current, water flow and desalination rate; for example, the flow is 2L / min, the desalination rate is required to be 90%, and the electric adsorption filter core can treat 10L of water. When the cumulative water production of the electric adsorption filter core is greater than 10L, the desalination rate of the electric adsorption filter core is lower than 90%, which leads to that the desalination effect cannot meet the target, and at this time, the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter core is limited to 0. Illustratively, the capacity of an electric adsorption filter core is 10L, and when the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter core is less than 9L, the electric adsorption filter core is regenerated. Therefore, in the method of the application, the capacity of the electric adsorption filter core is calculated according to the water content that is processed under the conditions of a specific flow, desalination rate, voltage and current, and the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter core is calculated according to the processed water content of the electric adsorption filter core. It should be noted that in the application, the total capacity of the electric adsorption filter core is determined by experiment, that is, the water content that can be treated by the filter core under the conditions of meeting the specified voltage, current, water flow and desalination rate, rather than being calculated according to the ion adsorption capacity of the electric adsorption filter core, so as to obtain a more accurate total capacity of the electric adsorption filter core.

[0063] The capacity of the electric adsorption filter core calculated according to total salt content T refers to the total salt content adsorbed by the electric adsorption filter core cumulatively, and when the salt content adsorbed by the electric adsorption filter core cumulatively reaches the total salt content set value, the desalination effect cannot meet the target. The calculation method of the processed salt content of the electric adsorption filter core is that the processed salt content t is calculated according to the salt content T1 of the raw water entering the electric adsorption filter core, the salt content T2 of the purified water discharged from the electric adsorption filter core and the water production V, that is, t=(T1-T2)×V, and the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter core is the difference between the residual capacity obtained by the last calculation and t / T×100%.

[0064] The capacity of the electric adsorption filter core calculated according to total electricity Q refers to the cumulative power consumption for water production of the electric adsorption filter core, and when the water production power consumption of the electric adsorption filter core cumulatively reaches the total electricity set value, the desalination effect cannot meet the target. The processed electricity q of the electric adsorption filter core is the cumulative water production power consumption of the electric adsorption filter core, and the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter core is the difference between the residual capacity obtained by the last calculation and q / Q×100%.

[0065] In an embodiment, when the residual capacity of the electrodeposition filter element is less than 90%, the electrodeposition filter element is completely regenerated, i.e. the capacity of the electrodeposition filter element is restored to 100%. However, during the use of the electrodeposition filter element, the residual capacity of the electrodeposition filter element has a large range based on the water consumption of the user. Therefore, further, the first regeneration mode or the second regeneration mode is selected according to the residual capacity of the electrodeposition filter element.

[0066] The first regeneration mode is that when the residual capacity of the electrodeposition filter element is x1%, the regeneration capacity of the single regeneration of the electrodeposition filter element is y1%, wherein 50≤x1≤70 and 20≤y1≤40.

[0067] The second regeneration mode is that when the residual capacity of the electrodeposition filter element is x2%, the regeneration capacity of the single regeneration of the electrodeposition filter element is y2%, wherein x2>70 and 5≤y2≤20.

[0068] When the residual capacity of the electrodeposition filter element is small, in order to keep a large capacity of the electrodeposition filter element, a large regeneration capacity of single regeneration is set, i.e. the first regeneration mode: when the residual capacity of the electrodeposition filter element is 50%-70%, the regeneration capacity of single regeneration is between 20%-40%. Preferably, the first regeneration mode is divided into multiple sub-regeneration modes, i.e. when the residual capacity x1% of the electrodeposition filter element is 50≤x1≤55, the regeneration capacity of single regeneration is 40%, when the residual capacity x1% of the electrodeposition filter element is 65≤x1≤70, the regeneration capacity of single regeneration is 20%, and when the residual capacity x1% of the electrodeposition filter element is 55

[0069] When the residual capacity of the electrodeposition filter element is large, the regeneration time is shorter while keeping a large capacity of the filter element, a small regeneration capacity of single regeneration is set, i.e. the second regeneration mode: when the residual capacity of the electrodeposition filter element is greater than 70%, the regeneration capacity of single regeneration is between 5%-15%. Preferably, the second regeneration mode is divided into multiple sub-regeneration modes, i.e. when the residual capacity x1% of the electrodeposition filter element is 70

[0070] By setting the first regeneration mode and the second regeneration mode, the two regenerations are respectively suitable for the regeneration of the electric adsorption filter core under different residual capacities, the electric adsorption filter core has less residual capacity and is regenerated with larger capacity, the electric adsorption filter core has more residual capacity and is regenerated with smaller capacity, on the one hand, the electric adsorption filter core can continuously maintain larger capacity, and a larger amount of water can be provided for the user, on the other hand, the electric adsorption filter core is regenerated with larger capacity when the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter core is less, the regeneration time of the electric adsorption filter core after water production is short, and the user does not need to wait for water.

[0071] In order to further avoid the user waiting for water when the electric adsorption filter core is regenerated, the regeneration period of the electric adsorption filter core is set, and the electric adsorption filter core is regenerated in the regeneration period. Specifically, the regeneration period is preset, or the idle time of the electric adsorption filter core is obtained according to the water use of the user, the idle time of the electric adsorption filter core is compared with the regeneration time of the first regeneration mode and / or the second regeneration mode, and the regeneration period is obtained.

[0072] The electric adsorption filter core is regenerated in the regeneration period.

[0073] In an embodiment, the regeneration period is set in a preset manner, that is, the user can preset the regeneration period according to his own habits, for example, the regeneration period is set to be a certain period or a certain period in 0-5 o'clock and / or 9-16 o'clock. It can be understood that the setting of the regeneration period is related to the regeneration time of the first regeneration mode and the second regeneration mode, so that the length of the regeneration period is at least equal to the maximum regeneration time of the first regeneration mode.

[0074] In another embodiment, the idle time of the electric adsorption filter core is obtained according to the water use of the user, and the idle time of the electric adsorption filter core is compared with the regeneration time of the first regeneration mode and / or the second regeneration mode to obtain the regeneration period. That is, the idle time of the electric adsorption filter core is obtained by counting the water use of the user, and the period of the idle time may be more. The period of the idle time is compared with the regeneration time of the first regeneration mode and / or the second regeneration mode to obtain the regeneration period. Specifically, the period of the idle time of the electric adsorption filter core is compared with the first regeneration mode and the second regeneration mode respectively, and the regeneration period of the first regeneration mode and the regeneration period of the second regeneration mode are obtained. Therefore, based on the smaller regeneration capacity of the second regeneration mode, the regeneration time is short, and the short period in the idle time of the electric adsorption filter core can be regenerated in a small amount by the second regeneration mode.

[0075] In a specific application, the intermittent regeneration control method of the electric adsorption filter cartridge of the present application is applied to a water purifier. The water purifier first sets a default regeneration period in the factory setting, for example, the default regeneration period is set to 0-5 hours. After the water purifier is used for a period of time, for example, after being used for 7 days or 10 days, the idle time of the electric adsorption filter cartridge is obtained by counting the water usage of the user, and then the regeneration period is obtained according to the regeneration time consumption of the first regeneration mode and / or the second regeneration mode.

[0076] Preferably, there are multiple regeneration periods, and the first regeneration mode and the second regeneration mode correspond to one or more regeneration periods respectively, so that the regeneration period selection of the electric adsorption filter cartridge is more flexible, which is more conducive to keeping a high capacity of the electric adsorption filter cartridge and further shortening the single regeneration time. It can be understood that if the remaining capacity of the electric adsorption filter cartridge is small during the regeneration period corresponding to the first regeneration mode, the second regeneration mode is used to regenerate the electric adsorption filter cartridge.

[0077] Based on the water purification principle of the electric adsorption filter cartridge, when the electric adsorption filter cartridge is regenerated, the ions attached to the filter cartridge membrane are desorbed. At this time, the regeneration electric quantity of the electric adsorption filter cartridge can be used to reflect the regeneration degree of the electric adsorption filter cartridge. When the electric adsorption filter cartridge is regenerated, the desorbed ions enter the water and are carried out by the water flow. Based on the stable voltage and stable water flow used in the regeneration of the electric adsorption filter cartridge, theoretically, the amount of ion desorption on the filter cartridge membrane is certain in unit time. At this time, the regeneration time consumption can be used to reflect the regeneration degree of the electric adsorption filter cartridge. Therefore, the regeneration capacity of the electric adsorption filter cartridge is calculated by the regeneration time consumption or the regeneration electric quantity of the electric adsorption filter cartridge. Further, the remaining capacity of the electric adsorption filter cartridge is preset to be zero to the regeneration time T or the regeneration electric quantity Q of complete regeneration; the regeneration time t or the regeneration electric quantity q of the electric adsorption filter cartridge during regeneration is calculated, and the regeneration capacity of the electric adsorption filter cartridge is calculated according to t / T or q / Q. That is, the values of y1% and y2% are calculated by t / T or q / Q. Wherein, the regeneration time T or the regeneration electric quantity Q is determined by experiment. The method of the present application has high calculation accuracy in calculating the regeneration capacity of the electric adsorption filter cartridge, and can keep a large capacity in the actual use process of the electric adsorption filter cartridge.

[0078] Further, referring to Figure 1 In an embodiment, the method comprises the following steps:

[0079] S101, setting the regeneration condition of the electric adsorption filter cartridge;

[0080] S102, obtaining the remaining capacity of the electric adsorption filter cartridge, judging whether the electric adsorption filter cartridge meets the regeneration condition, if yes, proceeding to step S103;

[0081] S103, selecting the first regeneration mode or the second regeneration mode according to the remaining capacity of the electric adsorption filter cartridge;

[0082] S104, judging whether it is in the regeneration period, if yes, regenerating the electric adsorption filter element;

[0083] S105, after regenerating the electric adsorption filter element once according to the selected regeneration mode, returning to step S102 until the capacity of the electric adsorption filter element recovers to 100%.

[0084] In this embodiment, when the electric adsorption filter element meets the regeneration condition, the regeneration mode is selected according to the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter element first, and then whether it is in the regeneration period is judged, so that small capacity regeneration in a long period can be realized.

[0085] Specifically, in step S101, the regeneration period of the electric adsorption filter element is also set, and the method of setting the regeneration period of the electric adsorption filter element is the same as the above-mentioned method of setting the regeneration period by the user or generating the regeneration period by the idle time of the electric adsorption filter element. In step S103, preferably, the first regeneration mode or the second regeneration mode is selected according to the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter element first, and then the corresponding sub-regeneration mode is selected according to the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter element. By subdividing the first regeneration mode and the second regeneration mode, the regeneration time can be further shortened, and the regeneration efficiency can be improved. It can be understood that when the regeneration capacity of the selected regeneration mode is greater than 100% plus the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter element, the regeneration is stopped when the capacity of the electric adsorption filter element recovers to 100%.

[0086] Further, with reference to Figure 2 In an embodiment, the method comprises the following steps:

[0087] S201, setting the regeneration condition of the electric adsorption filter element;

[0088] S202, obtaining the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter element, judging whether the electric adsorption filter element meets the regeneration condition, if yes, proceeding to step S203;

[0089] S203, judging whether it is in the regeneration period, if yes, proceeding to step S204;

[0090] S204, selecting the first regeneration mode or the second regeneration mode according to the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter element;

[0091] S205, after regenerating the electric adsorption filter element once according to the selected regeneration mode, returning to step S202 until the capacity of the electric adsorption filter element recovers to 100%.

[0092] In the embodiment, when the electric adsorption filter meets the regeneration condition, it is firstly determined whether it is in the regeneration period, and then the regeneration mode is selected according to the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter, and then the regeneration mode is matched with the regeneration period, so that the small-capacity regeneration in a large time period is realized. Specifically, in step S204, preferably, the first regeneration mode or the second regeneration mode is firstly selected according to the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter, and then the corresponding sub-regeneration mode is selected according to the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter; and the regeneration time of the self-regeneration mode is compared with the regeneration period, and when the two are matched, step S205 is performed. As same as the last embodiment, by subdividing the first regeneration mode and the second regeneration mode, the regeneration time can be further shortened, and the regeneration efficiency can be improved. It can be understood that when the regeneration capacity of the selected regeneration mode is greater than 100% when added to the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter, the regeneration is stopped when the capacity of the electric adsorption filter is restored to 100%.

[0093] When the electric adsorption filter produces water, if the user has a large water consumption at one time, the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter is small, and the electric adsorption filter needs to be regenerated in a large capacity, therefore, further, when the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter is less than 50%, it is determined whether it is in the regeneration period;

[0094] If yes, the regeneration capacity of the electric adsorption filter regenerated at one time is greater than 40%;

[0095] If no, the regeneration capacity of the electric adsorption filter regenerated at one time is less than 20%.

[0096] Because the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter is too small, the electric adsorption filter needs to be regenerated, otherwise the water supply to the user will be affected. The large-capacity regeneration is selected in the regeneration period, and the small-capacity regeneration is selected in the period of frequent water consumption. Preferably, the large-capacity regeneration of the electric adsorption filter is performed in the regeneration period corresponding to the first regeneration mode.

[0097] Further, referring to Figure 3 In an embodiment, the method comprises the following steps:

[0098] S301, setting the regeneration condition of the electric adsorption filter;

[0099] S302, acquiring the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter, determining whether the electric adsorption filter meets the regeneration condition, if yes, step S303 is performed;

[0100] S303, determining whether the residual capacity of the electric adsorption filter is less than 50%, if yes, step S304 is performed, if no, step S307 is performed;

[0101] S304, determining whether it is in the regeneration period, if yes, step S305 is performed, if no, step S306 is performed;

[0102] S305, if the regeneration capacity of the single regeneration of the electrodeposition filter element is greater than 40%, step S308 is performed;

[0103] S306, if the regeneration capacity of the single regeneration of the electrodeposition filter element is less than 20%, step S308 is performed;
