[0015] According to one embodiment of the present application, one end of the adjusting mechanism facing the communication passage pipe is provided with a first extension portion, and the first extension portion is inserted into the first connecting portion.

[0016] According to one embodiment of the present application, the first extension portion is inserted into the first connecting portion, and a first sealing ring is arranged on the outer periphery of the first extension portion, and the first sealing ring abuts against the inner wall of the first connecting portion.

[0074] Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a flow path control assembly provided by the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 is another structural schematic diagram of a flow path control assembly provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0075] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the drawings, in order to solve the technical problems existing in the related art, the embodiments of the present application provide a flow path control assembly 10, which comprises a first flow path pipe 110, a second flow path pipe 120, a communication passage pipe 130 and an adjusting mechanism 140.

[0076] Specifically, the first flow path pipe 110 has a first inlet 111 and a first outlet 112. It can be understood that the first flow path pipe 110 can be a water pipe, the first inlet 111 is arranged at one end of the water pipe, and the first outlet 112 is arranged at the other end of the water pipe. That is, the first inlet 111 and the first outlet 112 are communicated through the first flow path pipe 110. In a specific use, the first inlet 111 can be communicated with a water source. It should be noted here that the water source can be a tap water pipe, or in some examples, the water source can also be a water supply source that needs to be treated, such as a water storage tank. That is, the water provided by the water source enters the first flow path pipe 110 from the first inlet 111 and is discharged through the first outlet 112.

[0077] In the embodiment of the application, the first outlet 112 can be in communication with the device main body of the water treatment device. In some optional examples of the embodiment of the application, the water treatment device can be a water softener, a water dispenser, a water heater, or a beverage maker, etc. As a specific example, in the embodiment of the application, the water treatment device is taken as a water softener as a specific example.

[0078] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the application, the first flow path pipe 110 can be a plastic pipe; in some examples, the first flow path pipe 110 can also be a metal pipe. In addition, referring to Figure 1 , the first flow path pipe 110 can be a Figure 1 bent pipe as shown in . It can be understood that in the embodiment of the application, the first flow path pipe 110 can also be arranged as a straight pipe.

[0079] By arranging the first flow path pipe 110, the water supply of the water source, such as tap water, can enter the water softener through the first flow path pipe 110 for softening. It can be understood that in the embodiment of the application, the water softener can use ion exchange resin to soften the water, for example, by replacing the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with sodium ions. As a specific example, the water treated and softened by the water softener can be soft water with a hardness value of 0 (i.e. the treated water after being treated by the water treatment device, and in the subsequent examples of the embodiment of the application, soft water is taken as a specific example for description).

[0080] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in the embodiment of the application, the second flow path pipe 120 has a second inlet 121 and a second outlet 122; the second inlet 121 is adapted to be in communication with the device main body, and the second outlet 122 is adapted to be in communication with the water using device.

[0081] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the second flow path pipe 120 can be arranged side by side with the first flow path pipe 110, or it can also be understood that the second flow path pipe 120 is arranged side by side with the first flow path pipe 110. It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the second flow path pipe 120 can be made of the same material as the first flow path pipe 110. In addition, the second flow path pipe 120 can also be arranged as an elbow pipe or a straight pipe. Specifically, the second inlet 121 of the second flow path pipe 120 can be in communication with the water outlet of the water softener, and the second water outlet of the second flow path pipe 120 can be in communication with the water using equipment (such as a water taking faucet, a shower head, a bathtub or a toilet).

[0082] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the first flow path pipe 110 and the second flow path pipe 120 can be two separate pipes. In some optional examples of the embodiment of the present application, the first flow path pipe 110 and the second flow path pipe 120 can also be two flow path channels formed on one overall structure.

[0083] It can also be understood that in the specific use of the flow path control assembly 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the water provided by the water source enters the flow path control assembly 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application from the first inlet 111, enters the water softener through the first outlet 112 for treatment, and the soft water with a hardness of 0 after treatment is transported to the water using equipment through the second inlet 121 and the second outlet 122, thereby forming a complete water flow circulation path, which is convenient for softening the water provided by the water source.

[0084] It can also be understood that different user groups have different water using habits, and the water with a hardness of 0 after being treated by the water softener is difficult to meet the water using habit requirements of all users. Therefore, it is also necessary to adjust the hardness of the water, for example, some users require the hardness of the water to be 1, some users require the hardness of the water to be 3, or other users have other different water hardness requirements, etc. Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment of the present application, the communication passage pipe 130 communicates the first flow path pipe 110 and the second flow path pipe 120.

[0085] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, one end of the communication passage pipe 130 is in communication with the first flow path pipe 110, and the other end of the communication passage pipe 130 is in communication with the second flow path pipe 120. As a specific example, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The communication passage pipe 130 can be connected in the middle of the first flow path pipe 110 and the second flow path pipe 120.

[0086] In an optional example of the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 1 andFigure 2 As shown, the first flow path pipe 110 and the second flow path pipe 120 can be arranged in a bent type, i.e. the first flow path pipe 110 and the second flow path pipe 120 are bent pipes, and the communication passage pipe 130 can be connected at the bent part of the first flow path pipe 110 and the second flow path pipe 120. In this way, the overall structure of the entire flow path control assembly 10 can be made more compact, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the flow path control assembly 10.

[0087] It can be understood that, in the embodiments of the present application, the communication passage pipe 130 can also be connected in communication with the first flow path pipe 110 and the second flow path pipe 120 as a separate flow path pipe. For example, in some examples, a three-way adapter can be arranged on the first flow path pipe 110 and the second flow path pipe 120, and the two ends of the communication passage are connected in communication with the first flow path pipe 110 and the second flow path pipe 120 through the three-way adapter. In some optional examples, the communication passage pipe 130 can also be a passage that communicates the first flow path pipe 110 and the second flow path pipe 120 formed by machining on the overall structure described in the foregoing embodiments of the present application.

[0088] In this way, the flow path control assembly 10 provided in the embodiments of the present application has a second complete water flow communication path when used in practice, which enters from the first inlet 111, passes through the communication passage pipe 130 to enter the second flow path pipe 120, and is discharged from the second outlet 122.

[0089] Figure 3 is a topological structure diagram of the flow path control assembly provided in the embodiments of the present application.

[0090] In practice, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the flow path control assembly 10 provided in the embodiments of the present application can be connected to a water treatment device, for example, a water softener. Part of the raw water provided by the water source enters the water treatment device from the first outlet 112 of the first flow path pipe 110 for treatment, and the soft water with a hardness of 0 is obtained by softening, and the other part flows to the second flow path pipe 120 in the raw water state, and is mixed with the soft water flowing into the second flow path pipe 120 from the second inlet 121, so as to adjust the hardness value of the water. Of course, it can be understood that when the water treatment device is a water heater, the temperature of the hot water can be adjusted, and when the water treatment device is a beverage maker, the taste of the beverage can be adjusted.

[0091] In the embodiments of the present application, referring to Figures 1-3As shown, the adjusting mechanism 140 can be arranged on the communicating passage pipe 130. Specifically, the adjusting mechanism 140 can be an adjusting valve, such as a hand valve, a ball valve, an electric valve, or a pneumatic valve, etc. The adjusting mechanism 140 is used to control the opening degree of the communicating passage pipe 130. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, the opening degree of the communicating passage pipe 130 is adjusted by the adjusting mechanism 140, so that the amount of raw water flowing through the communicating passage pipe 130 can be adjusted, so that the raw water and the soft water are mixed to obtain water with different hardness values, so as to meet the water demand of different users.

[0092] For example, taking hardness value adjustment as a specific example, when installing the soft water machine device, the installation engineer can determine the raw water hardness value of the local water supply plant according to the local water supply index provided by the local water supply plant, for example, according to the hardness index in the water supply index; then, according to the raw water hardness value and the water demand hardness value of the user, the mixing ratio of the raw water and the soft water with a hardness value of 0 is determined, so that the adjusting mechanism 140 is adjusted to the corresponding opening degree, which can quickly adjust the outlet water hardness value to the demand hardness value of the user.

[0093] Of course, it can be understood that when the user needs to change / alter the outlet water hardness value, the user can also refer to the water supply index provided by the local water supply plant, and then adjust according to the actual demand.

[0094] According to the flow path control assembly 10 of the embodiment of the present application, the first flow path pipe 110 and the second flow path pipe 120 are communicated by the communicating passage pipe 130, and the adjusting mechanism 140 is arranged on the communicating passage pipe 130; the adjusting mechanism 140 is used to adjust the opening degree of the communicating passage pipe 130; in this way, the water entering from the first inlet 111 of the first flow path pipe 110 can be divided at the communicating passage pipe 130 and the first flow path pipe 110, one of which can enter the device main body of the water treatment device from the first outlet 112 of the first flow path pipe 110 for treatment, and the other can directly enter the second flow path pipe 120 through the communicating passage pipe 130 and mix with the water treated by the device main body and entering from the second inlet 121, so that the opening degree of the communicating passage pipe 130 can be adjusted by the adjusting mechanism 140 to conveniently adjust the mixing ratio of the two routes of water, so as to conveniently adjust the water quality to the required water quality, and the adjustment efficiency is improved.

[0095] Figure 4 is an exploded structural schematic view of the flow path control assembly provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0096] In some optional examples of the embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the first connecting part 131 is arranged on the communicating passage pipe 130, and the adjusting mechanism 140 is detachably connected to the first connecting part 131, and the adjusting passage 1411 of the adjusting mechanism 140 is in communication with the communicating passage pipe 130.

[0097] Specifically, referring to Figure 4 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the first connecting part 131 can be a protruding structure protruding from the outer wall of the communicating passage pipe 130. In a specific arrangement, the first connecting part 131 can be integrally formed with the outer wall of the communicating passage pipe 130. Alternatively, in some other examples, the first connecting part 131 can be fixedly connected to the communicating passage pipe in a detachable manner, for example, connected to the communicating passage pipe 130 in a threaded connection manner.

[0098] It can be understood that the first connecting part 131 can be provided with a communicating port 133 in communication with the inside of the communicating passage pipe 130, and in the embodiment of the present application, the adjusting mechanism 140 can be inserted into the communicating port 133 in a detachable manner, so that the adjusting passage 1411 of the adjusting mechanism 140 is in communication with the communicating passage pipe 130.

[0099] As a specific example of the embodiment of the present application, the first connecting part 131 can also be two side-by-side arranged three-way adapters, one of which is a pipe for the communicating passage pipe 130 to communicate with the adjusting mechanism 140, and the other is a pipe for the adjusting mechanism 140 to communicate with the communicating passage pipe 130. That is, referring to Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the raw water flowing in the communicating passage pipe 130 can first flow into the adjusting passage 1411 in the adjusting mechanism through the first connecting part 131, and then flow back into the communicating passage pipe 130 through the first connecting part 131. In other words, in the embodiment of the present application, the communicating passage pipe 130 at the position of the first connecting part 131 can be disconnected or sealed and blocked, so as to ensure that the raw water flows through the adjusting passage 1411 in the adjusting mechanism 140.

[0100] By arranging the first connecting part 131 on the communicating passage pipe 130 and detachably connecting the adjusting mechanism 140 to the first connecting part 131, the installation and disassembly of the adjusting mechanism 140 can be facilitated, and the disassembly efficiency of the adjusting mechanism 140 can be improved when maintenance is needed, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency. In specific use, the adjusting mechanism 140 is detachably connected to the first connecting part 131, and when the adjusting mechanism 140 needs to be maintained or repaired, the adjusting mechanism 140 can be disassembled first, and a new adjusting mechanism 140 can be replaced, so as to ensure the normal operation of the water treatment equipment and reduce the downtime of the water treatment equipment.

[0102] In an optional example of an embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 1, the adjusting mechanism 140 has a first extension 141 at one end facing the communication passage pipe 130, and the first extension 141 is inserted into the first connecting portion 131. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the first extension 141 can be inserted into the first connecting portion 131, and in some possible examples, the first connecting portion 131 can be inserted into the first extension 141. Figures 5-7 It can be understood that, referring to FIG. 1, the first extension 141 can be provided in a tubular shape, and specifically, the tubular structure is in communication with the adjusting passage 1411 of the adjusting mechanism 140. Specifically, the tubular structure can be provided with two water pipes arranged side by side. One of the two water pipes arranged side by side serves as a water inlet pipe and is connected to the front end of the communication passage pipe 130 (i.e., the end of the communication passage pipe 130 facing the first flow path pipe 110) through the first connecting portion 131, and the other of the two water pipes arranged side by side serves as a water outlet pipe and is connected to the rear end of the communication passage pipe 130 (i.e., the end of the communication passage pipe 130 facing the second flow path pipe 120) through the first connecting portion 131.

In this way, the connection and disassembly efficiency of the adjusting mechanism 140 and the communication passage pipe 130 is improved through the insertion mode, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of the water treatment equipment.

[0104] As an optional example of an embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 1, the outer periphery of the first extension 141 is provided with a first sealing ring 142, and the first sealing ring 142 abuts against the inner wall of the first connecting portion 131.

[0105] It can be understood that, in some examples, the first sealing ring 142 can be provided on the inner wall of the first connecting portion 131, and the first sealing ring abuts against the peripheral wall of the first extension 141. Figures 5-7

[0106]

[0107] ​​​Specifically, the first sealing ring 142 can be a rubber ring or a silica gel ring. In a specific arrangement, a recessed groove or a limiting groove 181 can be arranged on the peripheral wall of the first extension 141, and part of the first sealing ring 142 can be embedded in the recessed groove, and another part of the first sealing ring 142 protrudes from the peripheral wall of the first extension 141. In this way, when the first extension 141 is inserted into the first connecting portion 131, the part of the first sealing ring 142 protruding from the peripheral wall of the first extension 141 can abut against the inner wall of the first connecting portion 131, thereby sealing the fitting gap between the first extension 141 and the first connecting portion 131, and effectively avoiding the occurrence of water leakage.

[0108] In addition, it can also be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, the recessed groove or the limiting groove 181 on the peripheral wall of the first extension 141 can also be provided with an adhesive, and at least part of the first sealing ring 142 can be fixed by the adhesive after being embedded in the recessed groove, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the first sealing ring 142 and the peripheral wall of the first extension 141 and improving the sealing performance.

[0112] Continuing to refer to Figures 5-7 , in some optional examples of the embodiments of the present application, the first extension 141 has a fixing portion 143 on both sides, and the fixing portion 143 is inserted into the first connecting portion 131 to fix the adjusting mechanism 140.

[0113] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the fixing portion 143 can be integrally formed on both sides of the first extension portion 141. It should be noted that the fixing portion 143 can be arranged on both sides of the first extension portion 141 in a direction in which the two first extension portions 141 are arranged side by side, that is, the two fixing portions 143 are located on the two sides opposite to each other of the two first extension portions 141.

[0114] It can be understood that in some possible examples, the two fixing portions 143 can also be located on both sides in a direction different from the arrangement direction of the two first extension portions 141. For example, referring to FIG. 1, the two first extension portions 141 can be arranged in a left-right direction (with the orientation shown in FIG. 1 as an example) in some possible examples, the two fixing portions 143 can be arranged in a front-rear direction of the adjusting mechanism 140. Figure 6 Figure 6 It can be understood that in some possible examples, the two fixing portions 143 can also be located on both sides in a direction different from the arrangement direction of the two first extension portions 141. For example, referring to FIG. 1, the two first extension portions 141 can be arranged in a left-right direction (with the orientation shown in FIG. 1 as an example) in some possible examples, the two fixing portions 143 can be arranged in a front-rear direction of the adjusting mechanism 140.

[0118] In the embodiment of the present application, the fixing portion 143 is arranged on both sides of the first extension portion 141, and the fixing portion 143 is inserted into the first connecting portion 131, so as to fix the adjusting mechanism 140. In this way, the adjusting mechanism 140 is fixed conveniently, the stability of the connection between the first extension portion 141 and the first connecting portion 131 is improved, and the convenience of disassembly or installation is improved, that is, the sealing performance of the connection between the adjusting mechanism 140 and the communication passage pipe 130 is improved.

[0119] In a specific example of the embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 1, the first connecting portion 131 is provided with a first limiting hole 132, and the fixing portion 143 is provided with a second limiting hole 144. Figure 4

[0120] ​​Specifically, in the embodiments of the present application, the first limiting hole 132 and the first connecting portion 131 can be integrally formed. As a specific example, the first limiting hole 132 at least penetrates into the groove, the recessed groove or the blind hole on the first connecting portion 131 described in the foregoing embodiments of the present application. In another specific example of the embodiments of the present application, the first limiting hole 132 penetrates through the opposite two side surfaces of the first connecting portion 131, that is, the first limiting hole 132 penetrates through the first connecting portion 131, and the first limiting hole 132 is in communication with the groove, the recessed groove or the blind hole.

[0121] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, the fixing portion 143 is provided with a second limiting hole 144. In the embodiments of the present application, when the fixing portion 143 is inserted into the groove, the recessed groove or the blind hole, the position of the second limiting hole 144 provided on the fixing portion 143 matches the position of the first limiting hole 132. That is, the distance from the first limiting hole 132 to the bottom wall of the groove, the recessed groove or the blind hole can be the same as, approximately the same as or consistent with the distance from the second limiting hole 144 to the bottom wall of the fixing portion 143. In a specific example, the hole diameter of the second limiting hole 144 can also match the hole diameter of the first limiting hole 132.

[0122] Continuing to refer to Figure 4 As shown in the drawings, in the embodiments of the present application, the flow path control assembly 10 further comprises a first plug 150, wherein the first plug 150 is sequentially inserted into the first limiting hole 132 and the second limiting hole 144 to fix the adjusting mechanism 140.

[0123] It can be understood that, in the embodiments of the present application, when the first limiting hole 132 is a through hole penetrating through the first connecting portion 131, the first plug 150 can be specifically inserted into the first limiting hole 132, the second limiting hole 144 and then inserted out of the first limiting hole 132, that is, the first plug 150 penetrates through the first connecting portion 131 through the second limiting hole 144, so as to fix the adjusting mechanism 140 on the first connecting portion 131.

[0124] It can also be understood that, in the embodiments of the present application, the fixing portion 143 is provided with two, and therefore, in some optional examples of the embodiments of the present application, the first plug 150 can also be provided with two. One plug is inserted into each fixing portion 143.

[0125] In some other optional examples of the embodiments of the present application, the first plug 150 can also be provided with one, and two arms are provided on one plug, which are inserted into the first limiting hole 132 and the second limiting hole 144, so as to fix the adjusting mechanism 140. By providing two arms on one plug, when the adjusting mechanism 140 is installed or disassembled, only one first plug 150 needs to be inserted, which can effectively improve the installation and disassembly efficiency of the adjusting mechanism 140.

[0126] In this embodiment of the application, by providing a first limiting hole 132 on the first connecting part 131 and a second limiting hole 144 on the fixing part 143, the first pin 150 is sequentially inserted into the first limiting hole 132 and the second limiting hole 144 during connection, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the adjustment component and improves the efficiency of maintenance and replacement.

[0127] Figure 8 This is an exploded structural diagram of the regulating mechanism in the flow path control component provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0128] Reference Figure 8 As shown, in an optional example of an embodiment of this application, the adjustment mechanism 140 includes: a first adjustment piece 145 and a second adjustment piece 146.

[0129] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first adjusting piece 145 can be disposed in the adjusting passage 1411. It is understood that in this embodiment, the second adjusting piece 146 can also be disposed in the adjusting passage 1411. In some optional examples, both the first adjusting piece 145 and the second adjusting piece 146 can be ceramic sheets. In other optional examples of this embodiment, one of the first adjusting piece 145 and the second adjusting piece 146 can be a ceramic sheet, and the other can be a rubber sealing sheet.

[0130] It is also understood that, in this embodiment of the application, to ensure the normal passage of water (specifically, the raw water described in detail in the foregoing embodiments of this application) through the first regulating plate 145 and the second regulating plate 146, see [reference]. Figure 8 As shown in the embodiment of this application, one of the first adjusting plate 145 and the second adjusting plate 146 is provided with a water passage hole 147. As a specific example of an embodiment of this application, see below. Figure 8 As shown, the water passage 147 can be specifically disposed on the first adjusting plate 145. It is understood that in some other optional examples of the embodiments of this application, the water passage 147 can also be disposed on the second adjusting plate 146.

[0131] In addition, in this embodiment of the application, one of the first adjusting plate 145 and the second adjusting plate 146 is provided with a water passage hole 147, and the other of the first adjusting plate 145 and the second adjusting plate 146 covers, blocks or shields the water passage hole 147, thereby blocking the water passage hole 147.

[0132] It can also be understood that, in the embodiments of the present application, the first adjusting piece 145 and the second adjusting piece 146 can rotate relative to each other. Specifically, in the embodiments of the present application, the rotation of the first adjusting piece 145 and the second adjusting piece 146 relative to each other can be rotation around the axis of the adjusting passage 1411. As a specific example of the embodiments of the present application, the first adjusting piece 145 can be fixedly arranged in the adjusting passage 1411, and the second adjusting piece 146 can rotate relative to the first adjusting piece 145, so as to adjust the size of the opening area of the water passing hole 147 (i.e. the area of the water passing hole 147 available for water flow).

[0133] In the embodiments of the present application, it can also be understood that, in some possible examples, the second adjusting piece 146 can be fixed in the adjusting passage 1411, and the first adjusting piece 145 can rotate relative to the second adjusting piece 146. In addition, in other possible examples, the first adjusting piece 145 and the second adjusting piece 146 can both rotate, for example, the first adjusting piece 145 and the second adjusting piece 146 rotate in opposite directions, or the first adjusting piece 145 and the second adjusting piece 146 rotate in the same direction, but there is a difference in rotation speed between the first adjusting piece 145 and the second adjusting piece 146, so that the first adjusting piece 145 and the second adjusting piece 146 rotate relative to each other.

[0134] Figure 9 is a schematic view of a cooperation structure of the first adjusting piece and the second adjusting piece in the flow path control assembly provided by the embodiments of the present application, Figure 10 is another schematic view of a cooperation structure of the first adjusting piece and the second adjusting piece in the flow path control assembly provided by the embodiments of the present application, Figure 11 is still another schematic view of a cooperation structure of the first adjusting piece and the second adjusting piece in the flow path control assembly provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0135] As a specific example of the embodiments of the present application, referring to Figures 9-11 , in the embodiments of the present application, the water passing hole 147 is arranged on the first adjusting piece 145 as a specific example. Specifically, referring to Figure 9 , the second adjusting piece 146 completely covers or blocks the water passing hole 147, at this time the adjusting passage 1411 is closed, and the raw water enters the water softener for treatment.

[0136] As shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the second adjusting piece 146 can rotate relative to the first adjusting piece 145 in the counterclockwise direction, specifically from the position shown in Figure 9 to the position shown in Figure 10 , at this time part of the water passing hole 147 is opened, and the raw water can pass through the water passing hole 147, so as to be mixed with the soft water treated by the water softener.

[0137] When the second adjusting piece 146 continues to rotate from the position shown in Figure 10 to the position shown in Figure 11 , the second adjusting piece 146 is completely removed from the water passing hole 147, the water passing hole 147 is completely opened, and at this time, the raw water is mixed with the softened water in the largest proportion.

[0138] In the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the first adjusting piece 145 and the second adjusting piece 146 in the adjusting passage 1411, and arranging the water passing hole 147 on any one of the first adjusting piece 145 and the second adjusting piece 146, when the second adjusting piece 146 rotates relative to the first adjusting piece 145, the opening area of the water passing hole 147 can be adjusted and controlled, so that the water supply ratio of the direct water supply of the water source is conveniently adjusted. In addition, by rotating the two adjusting pieces relative to each other to adjust the opening area of the water passing hole 147, it can be ensured that the opening area of the water passing hole 147 changes linearly, so that the water supply ratio of the direct water supply of the water source changes linearly, that is, stepless adjustment in the water quality adjustment process can be realized, and the accuracy of water quality adjustment can be improved.

[0139] In some optional examples of the embodiment of the present application, continuing to refer to Figures 9-11 , the water passing hole 147 includes two, and the two water passing holes 147 are arranged opposite along the radial direction of the first adjusting piece 145; the cross-sectional area of the second adjusting piece 146 is greater than or equal to the cross-sectional area of the two water passing holes 147.

[0140] When specifically arranged, the second adjusting piece 146 can rotate around the axial direction of the first adjusting piece 145, that is, the rotation axis of the second adjusting piece 146 is coaxial with the axial direction of the first adjusting piece 145.

[0141] In the embodiment of the present application, by arranging two water passing holes 147, when the second adjusting piece 146 rotates by the same angle during adjustment, the opening areas of the two water passing holes 147 can be adjusted (for example, referring to Figure 10 , the two water passing holes 147 can be opened at the same time), which can effectively reduce the angle that the second adjusting piece 146 needs to rotate, and improve the adjustment efficiency.

[0142] Continuing to refer to Figures 9-10 , in some optional examples of the embodiment of the present application, the water passing hole 147 is a fan-shaped hole, and the top angles of the two fan-shaped holes are opposite; the radial cross-sectional shape of the second adjusting piece 146 is butterfly-shaped. It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the top angle of the two fan-shaped holes can specifically refer to the included angle of the side of the rotation shaft of the fan-shaped hole facing / toward the first adjusting piece 145 or the second adjusting piece 146.

[0143] In the embodiment of the present application, the water passing hole 147 is set as a sector hole, and the top angles of the two sector holes are opposite to each other. In this way, when the second adjusting piece 146 in the shape of a butterfly is rotated, the two water passing holes 147 can be conveniently controlled at the same time, and the adjusting efficiency is improved. In addition, by setting the water passing hole 147 as a sector hole, since the sector hole is concentric with the first adjusting piece 145 or the second adjusting piece 146, when the first adjusting piece 145 and the second adjusting piece 146 are rotated relative to each other, the opening area of the sector hole changes uniformly. In this way, the water mixing ratio at each angle of the relative rotation of the first adjusting piece 145 and the second adjusting piece 146 can be determined, so that the accuracy of the water quality after mixing can be improved, that is, the accuracy of water quality adjustment is improved.

[0144] In an optional example of the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the adjusting mechanism 140 further includes a driving member 148, the driving member 148 is connected with one of the first adjusting piece 145 and the second adjusting piece 146, and the driving member 148 is adapted to drive one of the first adjusting piece 145 and the second adjusting piece 146 to rotate relative to the other.

[0145] As a specific example of the embodiment of the present application, the driving member 148 can be specifically connected with the second adjusting piece 146, that is, in the embodiment of the present application, the first adjusting piece 145 is fixed in the adjusting passage 1411, and the second adjusting piece 146 is driven to rotate relative to the first adjusting piece 145 by the driving member 148. In a specific setting, the second adjusting piece 146 can be fixed on the output shaft of the driving member 148, for example, by limiting the circumferential degree of freedom of the second adjusting piece 146 and the output shaft of the driving member 148 through a spline, so that the driving member 148 drives the second adjusting piece 146 to rotate.

[0146] In the embodiment of the present application, the driving member 148 is connected with one of the first adjusting piece 145 and the second adjusting piece 146, so that when the driving member 148 drives one of the first adjusting piece 145 and the second adjusting piece 146 to rotate, the first adjusting piece 145 and the second adjusting piece 146 rotate relative to each other, thereby adjusting the water passing area of the water passing hole 147, adjusting the mixing ratio of raw water and soft water, and conveniently adjusting the water quality to the required water hardness.

[0147] In an optional example of the embodiment of the present application, continuing to refer to Figure 8 , the adjusting mechanism 140 further includes a zero position sensor 149 and a zero position dial 1410, the zero position dial 1410 is connected to the output shaft of the driving member 148, and the zero position dial 1410 rotates relative to the zero position sensor 149. The zero position dial 1410 is adapted to indicate that the second adjusting piece 146 completely covers the water passing hole 147 when the zero position dial 1410 contacts the zero position sensor 149.

[0148] Specifically, in this embodiment, the zero-position sensor 149 can be any one of a Hall sensor, a photoelectric sensor, or a contact sensor. The zero-position lever 1410 can be disposed on the output shaft of the drive member 148 and fixed to the output shaft of the drive member 148. In this way, when the output shaft of the drive member 148 rotates, it can drive the zero-position lever 1410 to rotate, thereby sensing the zero-position sensor and indicating whether the second adjusting plate 146 completely covers the water passage hole 147.

[0149] As a specific example of the embodiments of this application, when the zero position sensor 149 is a Hall sensor, the zero position lever 1410 can be a permanent magnet (e.g., a magnet). When the zero position lever 1410 contacts the zero position sensor 149, the Hall sensor is triggered, thereby determining that the second adjustment piece 146 completely covers the water passage hole 147.

[0150] In this embodiment of the application, by setting a zero-position sensor 149 and a zero-position lever 1410, when adjusting the water quality, after powering on the flow path control component 10, the drive component 148 can perform a zero-position self-check; thereby ensuring the accuracy of water quality adjustment.

[0151] In an optional example of the embodiments of this application, the drive unit 148 is a controllable motor, and when the zero position lever 1410 contacts the zero position sensor 149, the rotation angle of the controllable motor is 0°.

[0152] It is understood that in the embodiments of this application, a controllable motor specifically refers to a motor whose rotation angle is controllable; for example, in some examples, a controllable motor can be any one of a stepper motor, a servo motor, or a synchronous motor. As a specific example, a controllable motor can specifically be a stepper motor.

[0153] In this embodiment, when the zero-position lever 1410 contacts the zero-position sensor 149, the rotation angle of the controllable motor is determined to be 0° (i.e., the water passage 147 is completely closed). In this way, each time the water quality needs to be adjusted, the controllable motor can drive one of the first adjusting plate 145 and the second adjusting plate 146 to rotate from 0°. Thus, the angle that the controllable motor needs to rotate can be determined according to the water quality requirements, which can ensure the accuracy of the adjustment.

[0154] In some optional examples, the mixing ratio of raw water and soft water corresponding to different water quality requirements can be determined based on different water pressures and raw water qualities. Then, the angle that the controllable motor needs to rotate is determined based on the mixing ratio. As a specific example, in this embodiment, the water supply pressure can be determined according to relevant water supply industry standards, national standards, or international standards; similarly, the water quality can also be determined according to industry standards, national standards, or international standards. This allows for convenient and rapid determination of the water hardness corresponding to different mixing ratios, thereby facilitating the determination of the angle that the controllable motor needs to rotate.

[0156] In some optional examples of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 12 As shown, the flow path control component 10 also includes: a water quality tester 160, which is located at the rear end of the second flow path pipe 120 and the connecting passage pipe 130; the sensing probe of the water quality tester 160 is inserted inside the second flow path pipe 120; the water quality tester 160 is used to monitor the water quality after the water in the second flow path pipe 120 and the connecting passage pipe 130 are mixed; and the controllable motor drives the second regulating plate 146 to rotate according to the water quality monitored by the water quality tester 160.

[0157] Specifically, in this embodiment, the water quality tester 160 can be a hardness tester. In a specific configuration, the water quality tester 160 can be located at the rear end where the second flow path pipe 120 and the connecting passage pipe 130 connect. That is, in the water flow direction, the water quality tester 160 is positioned in the flow path after the raw water and soft water are mixed, thereby enabling the testing or detection of the hardness of the mixed water.

[0158] It is understood that in this embodiment, the water quality tester 160 can be communicatively connected to the processor. For example, the water quality tester 160 can be communicatively connected to the processor via wired or wireless means. Optionally, in this embodiment, the processor can be a central processing unit (CPU), a microcontroller unit (MCU), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), or a programmable logic controller (PLC), etc. It is also understood that in this embodiment, the processor is equipped with a comparison circuit. The water quality tester 160 sends the detected water hardness information to the processor, and the processor compares it with a preset water quality (e.g., water hardness set according to user needs) through the comparison circuit, thereby determining the angle for fine-tuning the rotation of the first adjustment plate 145 and the second adjustment plate 146.

[0159] It is also understood that in the embodiments of this application, the processor may be a processor integrated into the water treatment device itself. In some examples, the processor may also be located on other devices, for example, in some examples, the processor may be located on a mobile phone, tablet computer, or debugging equipment used by installation engineers.

[0160] In this embodiment, a water quality tester 160 is installed at the rear end of the second flow path pipe 120 and the connecting passage pipe 130. In this way, the induction probe installed in the second flow path pipe 120 can monitor the mixed water quality, so that the drive component 148 can drive the second adjustment plate 146 to make fine adjustments according to the monitoring results, thus ensuring the accuracy of water quality adjustment.

[0161] Continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 12 As shown, in some optional examples of embodiments of this application, the water quality tester 160 is detachably connected to the second flow path pipe 120.

[0162] Specifically, in this embodiment, a mounting hole 125 can be provided at the rear end of the second flow path pipe 120, and the water quality tester 160 can be inserted into the mounting hole 125. As a specific example, an internal thread can be provided in the mounting hole 125, and an external thread can be provided on the peripheral wall of the water quality tester 160. The water quality tester 160 and the mounting hole 125 can be detachably connected by a threaded connection.

[0163] In this way, the water quality tester 160 is convenient to disassemble and install, and when the detection part of the water quality tester 160 is inaccurate or needs to be calibrated, the water quality tester 160 can be conveniently disassembled and repaired.

[0164] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 12 It is shown that in some optional examples of the embodiment of the present application, the second flow path pipe 120 is provided with a second connecting part 123, and the second connecting part 123 is provided with a third limiting hole 124; the water quality tester 160 is arranged in the second connecting part 123. That is, the mounting hole 125 in the foregoing embodiment of the present application can be arranged on the second connecting part 123.

[0165] The flow path control assembly 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application further includes a second latch 170, the second latch 170 is arranged in the third limiting hole 124, and the second latch 170 is held on the peripheral wall of the water quality tester 160.

[0166] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the limiting groove 181 or the clamping groove 115 can be arranged on the peripheral wall of the water quality tester 160, and after the second latch 170 is inserted into the third limiting hole 124, the second latch 170 is inserted or clamped into the limiting groove 181, thereby fixing the water quality tester 160.

[0167] In this way, the installation and disassembly efficiency of the water quality tester 160 is improved, and when the water quality tester 160 needs to be disassembled, the second latch 170 only needs to be pulled out, thereby facilitating the replacement and repair of the water quality tester 160.

[0168] Figure 13 is a top view of the flow path control assembly provided by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 14 is another top view of the flow path control assembly provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0169] In some other optional examples of the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 14 It is shown that the driving part 148 is any one of a knob, a rotating handle or a rotating hand wheel; and the adjusting mechanism 140 is provided with an indication mark 101 indicating the rotation angle of the driving part 148.

[0170] That is, in the embodiment of the present application, the driving member 148 can also be a manually adjustable knob, a rotating handle or a rotating hand wheel. When installation or adjustment of water hardness is needed, the user can rotate the first adjusting piece 145 or the second adjusting piece 146 through the knob, the rotating handle or the rotating hand wheel. The indication mark 101 can indicate the mixing ratio of raw water and soft water, so as to obtain different water hardness. Alternatively, in some other examples of the embodiment of the present application, the indication mark 101 can also directly indicate the hardness value of the mixed water hardness. It can be understood that the type of the indication mark 101 in the embodiment of the present application is only used as some specific examples for illustration, and is not limited to the specific type of the indication mark 101. For example, in some other examples, the indication mark 101 can also be a rotation angle value, etc.

[0171] In the embodiment of the present application, the indication mark 101 for indicating the rotation angle of the driving member 148 is arranged on the adjusting mechanism 140, so that when the user adjusts the water hardness, the rotation angle of the driving member 148, i.e. the mixing ratio of raw water and soft water, can be determined conveniently. The hardness value required by the user can be adjusted quickly, and the adjustment efficiency is improved.

[0172] In addition, it can also be understood that, as shown in Figure 13 , in some optional examples of the embodiment of the present application, the indication mark 101 can also be arranged on the adjusting mechanism 140 when the driving member 148 is an electric motor. In this way, in the first aspect, the adjusting mechanism housing of the manual and electric adjusting mechanisms can be produced by one mold, which can save production cost. In addition, the indication mark 101 can also preliminarily indicate the rotation angle of the electric motor, so that whether the adjustment rotation angle of the electric motor meets the water hardness requirement of the user can be preliminarily determined when the water quality is adjusted.

[0173] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , in some optional examples of the embodiment of the present application, the flow path control assembly 10 further comprises a first adapter 180 and a second adapter 190.

[0174] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the first adapter 180 is detachably inserted into the first inlet 111. In addition, the second adapter 190 is detachably inserted into the second outlet 122.

[0175] When specifically arranged, the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190 can both be straight pipe adapters. In some other optional examples, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190 can also be elbow adapters (for example, right-angle adapters). By using elbow adapters, the connection space of the external pipeline and the flow path control assembly 10 can be extended, and the connection of the external pipeline is facilitated. It can be understood that in another optional example of the embodiment of the present application, one of the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190 can be a straight adapter, and the other of the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190 can be an elbow adapter.

[0176] In a specific installation connection, the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190 can be connected with the external device first, and then the first adapter 180 is inserted into the first inlet 111, and the second adapter 190 is inserted into the second outlet 122; thereby the external pipeline can be connected with the flow path control assembly 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application conveniently and quickly, and the efficiency of the connection of the flow path control assembly 10 and the external pipeline is improved.

[0177] In the embodiment of the present application, the first adapter 180 is detachably inserted into the first inlet 111, so that the water supply pipe of the water supply source is in communication with the first inlet 111, and the second adapter 190 is detachably inserted into the second outlet 122, so that the second outlet 122 is in communication with the water-using device, and the installation efficiency of the flow path control assembly 10 is improved.

[0178] In an optional example of the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the end of the first flow path pipeline 110 and the second flow path pipeline 120 is provided with a third connecting portion 113, the third connecting portion 113 has a fourth limiting hole 114, the first adapter 180 is inserted into the third connecting portion 113, and the first adapter 180 is in communication with the first inlet 111; the second adapter 190 is inserted into the third connecting portion 113, and the second adapter 190 is in communication with the second outlet 122.

[0179] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the third connecting portion 113 can specifically connect the first flow path pipeline 110 and the second flow path pipeline 120 as a whole. Of course, in some examples, a third connecting portion 113 can be arranged at the end of the first flow path pipeline 110, and another third connecting portion 113 can be arranged at the end of the second flow path pipeline 120.

[0180] It can be understood that the third connecting portion 113 can protrude from the outer peripheral wall of the first flow path pipeline 110 and the second flow path pipeline 120 along the radial direction of the first flow path pipeline 110 and the second flow path pipeline 120, so that the third connecting portion 113 can also play a reinforcing role on the end of the first flow path pipeline 110 and the second flow path pipeline 120, and the stability after the connection of the external pipeline and the flow path control assembly 10 can be improved.

[0181] In a specific arrangement, the fourth limiting hole 114 on the third connecting part 113 is arranged in the same or similar manner as the first limiting hole 132 or the third limiting hole 124 in the foregoing embodiments of the present application, and specific details can be referred to the detailed description of the first limiting hole 132 or the third limiting hole 124 in the foregoing embodiments of the present application, which will not be repeated here.

[0182] In the embodiments of the present application, the flow path control assembly 10 further comprises a third latch 1100, the third latch 1100 is inserted into the fourth limiting hole 114, and the third latch 1100 is clamped to the peripheral wall of the first adapter 180, and / or the third latch 1100 is clamped to the peripheral wall of the second adapter 190.

[0183] Specifically, in the embodiments of the present application, the specific structure of the third latch 1100 can be the same or similar to the structure of the first latch 150 and the second latch 170 in the foregoing embodiments of the present application, and specific details can be referred to the detailed description of the first latch 150 and the second latch 170 in the foregoing embodiments of the present application.

[0184] In the embodiments of the present application, by arranging the third connecting part 113 at the end of the first flow path pipe 110 and the second flow path pipe 120, arranging the fourth limiting hole 114 on the third connecting part 113, and clamping the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190 by the third latch 1100 inserted into the fourth limiting hole 114, the installation and disassembly efficiency of the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190 can be effectively improved, and the equipment maintenance and installation efficiency can be improved.

[0185] Figure 15 is a structural schematic view of the first adapter and the second adapter in the flow path control assembly provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0186] In an optional example of the embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 15 As shown, the peripheral wall of the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190 is provided with a limiting groove 181, and the third latch 1100 is clamped in the limiting groove 181.

[0187] Specifically, in the embodiments of the present application, the limiting groove 181 can be arranged on part of the peripheral wall of the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190 in the circumferential direction. Alternatively, in other optional examples, the limiting groove 181 can also be arranged on the entire peripheral wall of the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190 in the circumferential direction, which can facilitate the rotation of the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190 along the limiting groove 181, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the adapter direction of the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190. It can be understood that the adapter direction of the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190 can be different in the embodiments of the present application, for example Figure 15The first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190 shown are arranged opposite to each other. Of course, in some examples, the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190 can also be in the same direction. When the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190 are in the same direction, the lengths of the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190 can be set to be different, thereby facilitating the connection arrangement of the two adapters.

[0188] In this embodiment of the application, by providing a limiting groove 181 on the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190, when the pin is inserted into the fourth limiting hole 114, part of the pin is locked in the limiting groove 181, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190 and can effectively improve the disassembly and assembly efficiency of maintenance.

[0189] Figure 16 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the third pin in the flow path control component provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0190] In some optional examples of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 16 As shown, the third pin 1100 includes two limiting arms 1101, which are engaged in the limiting groove 181 and located on both sides of the first adapter 180, and / or on both sides of the second adapter 190.

[0191] Specifically, in this embodiment, the two limiting arms 1101 can be arranged opposite to each other. In a specific arrangement, two limiting grooves 181 can be provided on opposite sides of the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190. Thus, after the third pin 1100 is inserted into the fourth limiting hole 114, the two limiting arms 1101 can be inserted into both sides of the first adapter 180, or the two limiting arms 1101 can be inserted into both sides of the second adapter 190. Alternatively, in some other examples, the two limiting arms 1101 are simultaneously inserted into both sides of the first and second adapters.

[0192] In this embodiment, two limiting arms 1101 are engaged with both sides of the first adapter 180 and / or the second adapter 190. This ensures that both sides of the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190 are subjected to the same limiting and fixing force after engagement, guaranteeing a force balance between the two adapters and preventing localized stress. This, in turn, ensures the sealing performance of the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190 after connection to the third connecting part 113.

[0193] In some optional examples of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4As shown, the third latch 1100 includes two, one of the two third latches 1100 is connected with the first adapter 180, and the other of the two third latches 1100 is connected with the second adapter 190.

[0194] Specifically, referring to Figure 4 As described above, the two third latches 1100 can be arranged oppositely. It can be understood that in some possible examples, the two third latches 1100 can also be arranged in different directions, for example, referring to Figure 4 As shown, one of the two third latches 1100 can be inserted into the fourth limiting hole 114 along the direction of the x-axis shown; and the other third latch 1100 can be inserted into the fourth limiting hole 114 along the direction of the y-axis shown in the figure. Figure 4 That is, in the embodiment of the present application, the fourth limiting hole 114 for limiting the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190 can also be arranged in different directions, respectively.

[0195] In the embodiment of the present application, by arranging two third latches 1100, one of the two third latches 1100 is connected with the first adapter 180, and the other of the two third latches 1100 is connected with the second adapter 190, so that when it is necessary to replace the external pipeline, only one of the adapters needs to be disassembled. For example, when it is necessary to replace the water inlet pipe, only the first adapter 180 needs to be disassembled, which can reduce the workload of disassembly and replacement, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency.

[0196] Continuing to refer to Figure 16 As shown, in another optional example of the embodiment of the present application, one of the buckle 1102 or the clamping groove 115 is arranged on the side of the third latch 1100 facing the third connecting portion 113, and the other of the buckle 1102 or the clamping groove 115 is arranged on the third connecting portion 113; the third latch 1100 is connected with the third connecting portion 113 through the buckle 1102 and the clamping groove 115.

[0197] As a specific example of the embodiment of the present application, Figure 16The third latch 1100 is provided with a buckle 1102 on the side facing the third connecting portion 113 as a specific example. In a specific arrangement, the buckle 1102 can specifically be two oppositely arranged elastic arms, and a certain gap is reserved between the two elastic arms. When the elastic arms are inserted into the clamping groove 115 arranged on the third connecting portion 113, the elastic arms can be deformed to a certain extent, so that the clamping hooks on the side of the elastic arms abut against the inner wall of the clamping groove 115 to form a fixing. It can be understood that when the buckle 1102 is arranged on the third connecting portion 113 and the clamping groove 115 is arranged on the third latch 1100, the specific arrangement mode of the buckle 1102 can be the same as or similar to that when the buckle 1102 is arranged on the third latch 1100, and details are not described herein again.

[0198] In the embodiment of the present application, one of the buckle 1102 or the clamping groove 115 is arranged on the side of the third latch 1100 facing the third connecting portion 113, and the other one of the buckle 1102 or the clamping groove 115 is arranged on the third connecting portion 113. In this way, after the third latch 1100 is inserted into the fourth limiting hole 114, the third latch 1100 can be clamped and fixed with the third connecting portion 113 through the buckle 1102 and the clamping groove 115, which can effectively avoid the third latch 1100 from falling off or sliding off from the fourth limiting hole 114, and improve the stability of the third latch 1100 in fixing the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190.

[0199] Continuing to refer to Figure 15 In some optional examples of the embodiment of the present application, the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190 are provided with a filter screen 182.

[0200] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the filter screen 182 can be clamped on the side of the first adapter 180 facing / toward the first inlet 111, or the filter screen 182 can be clamped on the side of the second adapter 190 facing / toward the second outlet 122.

[0201] By arranging the filter screen 182 in the first adapter 180 and the second adapter 190, the filter screen 182 can preliminarily filter some larger solid particles (such as sand or rust) in raw water, which can avoid the solid particles from entering the device main body of the water treatment equipment, and effectively protect the device main body of the water treatment equipment.

[0202] In some optional examples of the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, the flow path control assembly 10 further includes a flow path switching piece 1110, which is arranged in the communication passage pipe 130; and the flow path switching piece 1110 has a first position and a second position.

[0203] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, referring toFigure 3 As shown, the first position specifically refers to the position of the valve plate in the middle of the flow path switching component 1110 when it is located in the middle of the connecting passage pipe 130. Specifically, it can be... Figure 3 The position shown in the figure. Specifically, the second position can be the flow path switching component 1110 along... Figure 3 Pulling in the direction shown by the x-axis makes Figure 3 One of the valve plates in the middle moves to Figure 3 The position indicated by the dashed box (i.e., moved to the second position); that is to say, with Figure 3 As an example, Figure 3 When the valve plate, which is located in the middle position, moves to the position shown by the dashed box, the flow path switching component 1110 is in the second position.

[0204] It is understood that in this embodiment of the application, when the flow path switching component 1110 is in the first position, the first inlet 111 and the first outlet 112 are connected. That is, when the flow path switching component 1110 is in the first position, the first flow path pipe 110 is in a conducting state, and at least part of the raw water enters the water softener for softening treatment.

[0205] Additionally, when the flow path switching component 1110 is in the second position, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the first inlet 111 and the second inlet 121 are disconnected, meaning the first flow path pipe 110 is blocked, preventing raw water from entering the water softener for treatment. Furthermore, the first inlet 111 and the second outlet 122 are connected via a connecting passage pipe 130, facilitating direct access to the raw water. In this embodiment, a flow path switching component 1110 is installed within the connecting passage pipe 130. When maintenance of the water treatment equipment is required, the flow path switching component 1110 can be switched to a second position. In this position, the flow path enters directly from the first inlet 111, passes through the connecting passage pipe 130, and exits from the second outlet 122, bypassing the main equipment body. This facilitates maintenance work on the main equipment body and improves maintenance efficiency.

[0206] As a specific example of an embodiment of this application, continue to refer to... Figure 3 As shown, the flow path switching component 1110 includes a moving shaft 1111 and a first valve plate 1112. The moving shaft 1111 is inserted into the flow path pipe along the axial direction and can move along the axial direction of the flow path pipe.

[0207] In the embodiment of the present application, the first valve piece 1112 is sleeved on the middle part of the moving shaft 1111. When the flow path switching piece 1110 is in the first position, the first valve piece 1112 is blocked in the middle part of the communication passage pipe 130, so that the first flow path pipe 110 and the second flow path pipe 120 are connected through the communication passage pipe 130 and the adjusting passage 1411 of the adjusting mechanism 140; when the flow path switching piece 1110 is in the second position, the first valve piece 1112 is blocked between the front end of the communication passage pipe 130 and the rear end of the first flow path pipe 110.

[0208] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the first valve piece 1112 can be a ceramic piece, and the second sealing ring 1114 can be arranged on the peripheral wall of the first valve piece 1112 and abut against the inner wall of the communication passage pipe 130. Referring to Figure 3 In the embodiment of the present application, the front end of the communication passage pipe 130 can refer to the end of the communication passage pipe 130 facing / toward the first flow path pipe 110, and the rear end of the first flow path pipe 110 can refer to the end of the first flow path pipe 110 facing the first outlet 112.

[0209] In the embodiment of the present application, when the flow path switching piece 1110 is in the second position, the first valve piece 1112 is blocked between the front end of the communication passage pipe 130 and the rear end of the first flow path pipe 110, so that the first flow path pipe 110 is cut off by the first valve piece 1112, thereby making the raw water flow completely from the communication passage pipe 130 to the second flow path pipe 120, which can facilitate the maintenance of the water softener.

[0210] Continuing to refer to Figure 3 In some optional examples of the embodiment of the present application, the flow path switching piece 1110 further includes a second valve piece 1113, and the second valve piece 1113 is sleeved on the side of the moving shaft 1111 facing the second flow path pipe 120.

[0211] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 When the flow path switching piece 1110 is in the first position, the second valve piece 1113 is located on the side of the communication passage pipe 130 away from the first flow path pipe 110. At this time, the second inlet 121 and the second outlet 122 of the second flow path pipe 120 are connected to each other, that is, the second flow path pipe 120 is in a conductive state, and the softened water in the water softener flows from the second flow path pipe 120.

[0212] When the flow path switching piece 1110 is in the second position (i.e., referring to Figure 3 When the flow path switching piece 1110 is in the second position (i.e., referring to Figure 3When the flow switching piece moves along the direction indicated by the x-axis and the first valve plate 1112 moves to the position indicated by the dashed line frame), the second valve plate 1113 is sealed between the front end of the second flow path pipe 120 and the rear end of the communication passage pipe 130. That is, at this time, the second valve plate 1113 cuts off the second flow path pipe 120, and the second inlet 121 and the second outlet 122 of the second flow path pipe 120 cannot be communicated, and the soft water in the water softener cannot flow from the second pipe.

[0213] In other words, in the embodiment of the present application, when the flow switching piece moves to the second position, the first valve plate 1112 seals the first flow path pipe 110, and the second valve plate 1113 seals the second flow path pipe 120, and the flow path in the flow path control assembly 10 is only one flow path of the first inlet 111, the communication passage pipe 130 and the second outlet 122, and the raw water flows through this flow path, and the raw water cannot enter the water softener, which can effectively avoid the influence of the raw water during the maintenance of the water softener, and improve the maintenance efficiency of the water softener.

[0214] As an optional example of the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 3 In the embodiment of the present application, a third valve plate 1115 can also be arranged on the movable shaft, the third valve plate 1115 is arranged on the side of the first valve plate 1112 away from the second valve plate 1113, and the first valve plate 1112 is located at the middle position between the second valve plate 1113 and the third valve plate 1115. In this way, when switching the flow path, the moving direction of the flow switching piece 1110 can also be the opposite direction of the direction indicated by the x-axis, which improves the flexibility of switching the flow path. Figure 3

[0215] Figure 17 Fig. 1 is a top view of a water treatment device provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0216] Referring to Figure 17 The present application also provides a water treatment device, which comprises a device body 20 and the flow path control assembly 10 provided by any of the optional examples of the preceding embodiments of the present application. The device body 20 has a third inlet 201 and a third outlet 202, the first flow path pipe 110 of the flow path control assembly 10 is in communication with the third inlet 201, and the second flow path pipe 120 of the flow path control assembly 10 is in communication with the third outlet 202.

[0217] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the first outlet 112 of the first flow path pipe 110 is in communication with the third inlet 201, and the second inlet 121 of the second flow path pipe 120 is in communication with the third outlet 202.

[0218] As some optional examples of the embodiment of the present application, the device body 20 can be any one of a water softener, a water heater, a water dispenser or a beverage maker.​
