Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of water purification technology, and in particular to a mineralized water system and a mineralized water purifier. Background Technology
[0002] A mineralizing water purifier is a device that deeply purifies tap water and adds essential minerals to achieve a water quality similar to that of mineral water. By adding mineral-rich filter media, it reintegrates essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc into the water. These minerals exist in ionic form, making them easier for the body to absorb.
[0003] In current technology, reverse osmosis membranes are commonly used to purify tap water. Reverse osmosis membranes effectively block bacteria, viruses, scale, salt ions, and other substances, allowing only water molecules to pass through, thus ensuring water safety. However, after a period of use, the purification effect of reverse osmosis membranes on tap water weakens, resulting in poor-quality purified water. Summary of the Invention

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 The mineralized water system 1 includes: an inlet pipe 100, a single-channel desalination component 200 and a double-channel desalination component 300 arranged in parallel, a mineralized filter element unit 400, and an outlet pipe 500.
[0032] The single-channel desalination assembly 200 includes a first port 210 and a second port 220. When a positive voltage is applied, the water flowing into the first port 210 is purified, and the treated water flows out through the second port 220 to the mineralization filter unit 400. The dual-channel desalination assembly 300 includes an inlet 310 and an outlet 320. When a driving pressure is applied, the water flowing into the inlet 310 is purified, and the treated water flows out through the outlet 320 to the mineralization filter unit 400. The mineralization filter unit 400 is connected to the outlet pipe 500. In some embodiments, the single-channel desalination assembly 200 may include a physical adsorption desalination filter element and / or a chemical adsorption desalination filter element. The dual-channel desalination assembly 300 may include at least one of a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane filter element, a nanofiltration membrane filter element, and an electrodialysis membrane filter element.
[0033] The inlet pipe 100 connects the first port 210 and the inlet 310, and the first port 210 and the inlet 310 are connected in parallel. The outlet pipe 500 connects the second port 220 and the outlet 320, and the second port 220 and the outlet 320 are connected in parallel.
[0034] In an optional embodiment, the mineralized water system 1 further includes a branch pipe 600. The branch pipe 600 is connected to the first port 210.
[0035] Water is supplied to the first port 210 and the inlet 310 via the inlet pipe 100. The pure water produced by the purification treatment of the single-channel desalination component 200 and the dual-channel desalination component 300 flows into the mineralization filter unit 400. The outlet pipe 500 is used to output the mineralized water produced by the mineralization treatment of the mineralization filter unit 400. When the single-channel desalination component 200 is flushed and regenerated, the dual-channel desalination component 300 purifies the water flowing in through the inlet 310. The pure water produced flows into the single-channel desalination component 200 through the outlet 320 and the second port 220 of the single-channel desalination component 200. When the power to the single-channel desalination component 200 is cut off or a reverse voltage is applied, the salt substances in the single-channel desalination component 200 are flushed by the pure water flowing in from the second port 220 and then flow into the branch pipe 600 through the first port 210.
[0036] A first solenoid valve can be installed on the outlet pipe 500, a second solenoid valve on the branch pipe 600, and a third solenoid valve on the first port 210 side of the parallel branch where the single-channel desalination assembly 200 is located. During water production, a positive voltage is applied to the single-channel desalination assembly 200, opening the first and third solenoid valves. Water from the inlet pipe 100 flows into the single-channel desalination assembly 200 through the third solenoid valve. The single-channel desalination assembly 200 purifies the water, and the treated pure water is output to the mineralization filter unit 400 through the second port 220 and the first solenoid valve. Simultaneously, water from the inlet pipe 100 flows into the dual-channel desalination assembly 300 through the inlet 310. The dual-channel desalination assembly 300 purifies the water, and the treated pure water is output to the mineralization filter unit 400 through the outlet 320 and the first solenoid valve.
[0037] During the flushing and regeneration of the single-channel desalination component 200, the power to the single-channel desalination component 200 is cut off or a reverse voltage is applied, the first solenoid valve is closed, and the second and third solenoid valves are opened. The water input from the inlet pipe 100 flows into the dual-channel desalination component 300 through the inlet 310. The dual-channel desalination component 300 purifies the water. The purified water flows into the single-channel desalination component 200 through the outlet 320 and the second port 220. The salts in the single-channel desalination component 200 are flushed by the purified water flowing in from the second port 220 and then flow into the branch pipe 600 through the first port 210 and the second solenoid valve.
[0038] The purified water produced by the dual-channel desalination unit 300 flows into the single-channel desalination unit 200 to rinse and regenerate the single-channel desalination unit 200. Compared with rinsing and regenerating with tap water, this reduces the risk of scaling during the regeneration of the single-channel desalination unit 200, extends its service life, and improves the quality of the purified water.
[0039] See Figure 2 As shown, the mineralized water system 1 further includes a water circuit switching device 610, which is connected to the first port 210.
[0040] In one embodiment, the water circuit switching device 610 may include a directional valve or a group of multiple two-way solenoid valves, such as a three-way valve.
[0041] During the water purification process of the single-channel desalination component 200, a positive voltage is applied to the single-channel desalination component 200, and the water circuit switching device 610 is switched to the inlet pipe 100 to purify the water that is input from the inlet pipe 100 and flows in through the first port 210. The treated water flows out through the second port 220 to the mineralization filter element unit 400.
[0042] During the rinsing and regeneration process of the single-channel desalination component 200, the power to the single-channel desalination component 200 is cut off or a reverse voltage is applied, and the water circuit switching device 610 is switched to the branch pipe 600. The dual-channel desalination component 300 purifies the water, and the generated pure water flows into the single-channel desalination component 200 through the outlet 320 and the second port 220. The salt substances in the single-channel desalination component 200 are rinsed to the branch pipe 600 by the flowing pure water.
[0043] See Figure 3 As shown, the mineralized water system 1 further includes a filter assembly 340. The filter assembly 340 can be installed on the inlet pipe 100 and / or on the outlet pipe 500, or on one side of the first port 210 of the single-channel desalination assembly 200, or on one side of the second port 220 of the single-channel desalination assembly 200.
[0044] A filter assembly 340 is installed on the inlet pipe 100, which can perform certain purification treatment on the water entering the single-channel desalination assembly 200 and the double single-channel desalination assembly 200. For example, it can remove particulate impurities, residual chlorine and other substances that may be present in the water, reduce the workload and consumption of the single-channel desalination assembly 200 and the double single-channel desalination assembly 200, and extend their regeneration cycle and service life.
[0045] A filter assembly 340 is installed on the water outlet pipe 500, which can further improve the quality of the pure water output by the mineralized water system 1.
[0046] A filter assembly 340 is installed on one side of the first port 210 of the single-channel desalination assembly 200. During the water purification process of the single-channel desalination assembly 200, the water output from the inlet pipe 100 is first filtered by the filter assembly 340 and then flows into the single-channel desalination assembly 200 through the first port 210. The single-channel desalination assembly 200 purifies the incoming water.
[0047] A filter assembly 340 is installed on one side of the second port 220 of the single-channel desalination assembly 200 (i.e., between the second port 220 and the outlet 320). During the water purification process of the single-channel desalination assembly 200, water output from the inlet pipe 100 first flows into the single-channel desalination assembly 200 through the first port 210. The single-channel desalination assembly 200 purifies the incoming water, and the treated water is then filtered by the filter assembly 340 before flowing into the mineralization filter unit 400. When the power to the single-channel desalination assembly 200 is cut off or a reverse voltage is applied, the pure water produced by the purification process of the dual-channel desalination assembly 300 passes through the filter assembly 340, which backwashes the filter assembly 340, and then flows into the single-channel desalination assembly 200 through the second port 220, flushing the salts in the single-channel desalination assembly 200 to the branch pipe 600.
[0048] In one embodiment, the filtration assembly 340 may include a physical retention filter element and / or a physical adsorption filter element. The physical retention filter element includes at least one of a microfiltration membrane, an ultrafiltration membrane, and a PP cotton filter element. The physical adsorption filter element includes at least one of activated carbon particles and activated carbon rods.
[0049] See Figure 3 As shown, the mineralized water system 1 also includes a conductivity detection component 10. The conductivity detection component 10 can be installed on the inlet pipe 100 and / or the outlet pipe 500, or on the branch pipe 600, or on the second port 220 side of the single-channel desalination component 200 and / or the outlet 320 side of the dual-channel desalination component 300. The conductivity detection component 10 may include a conductivity meter and a TDS meter.
[0050] Conductivity detection components 10 are installed on the inlet pipe 100 and / or outlet pipe 500 to detect the water quality at the corresponding location. For example, the TDS value is a water quality testing indicator specifically designed for purified water. The TDS value represents the total soluble solids content in the water. The TDS value can reflect water quality to a certain extent. Generally, the lower the TDS value, the fewer soluble salts such as heavy metal ions are in the water, and the purer the water quality.
[0051] A conductivity detection component 10 is installed on the branch pipe 600. This component can detect the conductivity on the branch pipe 600 when the power to the single-channel desalination component 200 is cut off or when a reverse voltage is applied to the single-channel desalination component 200, thereby determining the regeneration effect of the single-channel desalination component 200. For example, when the conductivity data detected by the conductivity detection component 10 is less than the preset conductivity, it can be determined that the salt substances in the single-channel desalination component 200 have been flushed out. The regeneration mode can then be terminated, the positive voltage applied to the single-channel desalination component 200 can be restored, and the water circuit switching device 610 can be switched tangentially to the inlet pipe 100.
[0052] A conductivity detection component 10 is installed at the second port 220 of the single-channel desalination component 200. This component can detect the conductivity of the effluent from the single-channel desalination component 200, thereby determining whether the water purification effect of the single-channel desalination component 200 meets the requirements. For example, if the conductivity data detected by the conductivity detection component 10 is higher than the target conductivity or the duration of the higher conductivity exceeds a preset time, it can be determined that the single-channel desalination component 200 needs regeneration. Similarly, a conductivity detection component 10 is installed at the outlet 320 of the dual-channel desalination component 300. This component can detect the conductivity of the effluent from the dual-channel desalination component 300, thereby determining whether the water purification effect of the dual-channel desalination component 300 meets the requirements. For example, if the conductivity data detected by the conductivity detection component 10 is higher than the target conductivity or the duration of the higher conductivity exceeds a preset time, it can be determined that the dual-channel desalination component 300 needs regeneration.
[0053] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 The mineralized water system 1 may further include a control component 410, a power supply component 420, and a drive component 430. The control component 410 is connected to the conductivity detection component 10, the power supply component 420, the drive component 430, and the water path switching device 610. The power supply component 420 is connected to the single-channel desalination component 200 and applies a positive or reverse voltage to it. The drive component 430 drives the water flow to both the single-channel desalination component 200 and the dual-channel desalination component 300.
[0054] In one embodiment, the drive component 430 may include a pressure pump. The control component 410 may include a microcontroller, etc.
[0055] In some embodiments, when the current time is a preset time, such as between 10 PM and 10:30 PM, and the control component 410 switches to regeneration mode, the control component 410 controls the power supply component 420 to disconnect the power supply to the single-channel desalination component 200 or apply a reverse voltage to the single-channel desalination component 200. Simultaneously, the control component 410 controls the water path switching device 610 to switch to the branch pipe 600. The dual-channel desalination component 300 purifies the water, and the resulting pure water flows into the single-channel desalination component 200 through the outlet 320 and the second port 220, so that the salt ions attached to the single-channel desalination component 200 enter the water and are discharged from the single-channel desalination component 200 with the water.
[0056] In one embodiment, when the conductivity data detected by the conductivity detection component 10 at the second port side of the single-channel desalination component 200 is higher than the target conductivity, the control component 410 controls the power supply component 420 to disconnect the power supply to the single-channel desalination component 200 or apply a reverse voltage to the single-channel desalination component 200. At the same time, the control component 410 controls the water path switching device 610 to switch tangentially to the branch pipe 600 so that the salt ions attached to the single-channel desalination component 200 enter the water and are discharged from the single-channel desalination component 200 with the water. The flushed wastewater is discharged from the first port 210 of the single-channel desalination component 200 to the branch pipe 600.
[0057] In one embodiment, the control component 410 can also control the power supply component 420 to adjust the power supply voltage to the single-channel desalination component 200 based on the conductivity data detected by the conductivity detection component 10 on the inlet pipe 100. For example, the higher the conductivity data detected by the conductivity detection component 10 on the inlet pipe 100, the higher the positive voltage applied by the power supply component 420 to the single-channel desalination component 200, thereby improving the purification effect.
[0058] In some embodiments, the mineralized water system 1 may also include one or more of the following combinations: heating component 440, temperature detection component 450, and flow detection component 460.
[0059] The heating component 440 is disposed in the water outlet direction of the water outlet pipe 500 and is used to heat the water flowing out of the water outlet pipe 500 to provide hot water at the required temperature to the user. The heating component may include a heat exchanger, etc.
[0060] Temperature detection component 450 can be installed on water inlet pipe 100. Temperature detection component 450 is used to detect the temperature of water flowing to single-channel desalination component 200 and dual-channel desalination component 300.
[0061] The flow detection component 460 can be installed on the inlet pipe 100 and / or the outlet pipe 500.
[0062] The mineralized water system 1 provided in this embodiment includes a single-channel desalination component and a dual-channel desalination component arranged in parallel. The single-channel desalination component includes a first port and a second port, while the dual-channel desalination component includes an inlet and an outlet. The first port is connected in parallel with the inlet, and the second port is connected in parallel with the outlet. An inlet pipe connects the first port and the inlet, a mineralization filter unit connects the second port and the outlet, and a branch pipe connects to the first port. The dual-channel desalination component purifies the water flowing in through the inlet, and the resulting pure water flows into the single-channel desalination component through the outlet and the second port. Salts in the single-channel desalination component are flushed by the flowing pure water and then flow into the branch pipe through the first port. The pure water produced by the dual-channel desalination component flushes and regenerates the single-channel desalination component, reducing the risk of scaling during the regeneration of the single-channel desalination component and thus ensuring the quality of the produced pure water.
[0063] Since the single-channel desalination component 200 and the dual-channel desalination component 300 filter out all substances in the water, pure water without any beneficial elements is not, in a sense, healthy water and does not meet the concept of healthy water. Therefore, this application uses a mineralization filter element unit 400 to mineralize the purified water, thereby producing mineralized water that is beneficial to the human body.
[0064] Please see Figure 5 As shown, the mineralization filter element unit 400 includes: a mineralization pipeline 901, on which a mineralization filter element 9010 is provided.
[0065] Mineralized pipe 901 is the channel through which water flows, ensuring that water can pass through smoothly and efficiently without introducing any contaminants.
[0066] The 9010 mineralizer cartridge adds beneficial minerals to the water flow to improve its taste and nutritional value. The 9010 mineralizer cartridge may be made from a variety of materials, including but not limited to maifan stone, tourmaline, and weakly alkaline mineralizing balls.
[0067] In practical applications, when the purified water flowing from the first filter unit 30 and / or the second filter unit 40 passes through the mineralization filter unit 400, the purified water first enters the mineralization pipe 901 and then flows through the mineralization filter element 9010. The water flows into contact with and exchanges with the materials in the mineralization filter element 9010, thereby absorbing beneficial minerals. After mineralization treatment, the taste and nutritional value of the water are improved, making it more suitable for drinking.
[0068] Please see Figure 6 As shown, the mineralization filter element unit 400 includes: a mineralization pipeline 101 and an inhibition pipeline 102. A mineralization filter element 103 is provided on the mineralization pipeline 101, and an inhibition filter element 104 is provided on the inhibition pipeline 102.
[0069] In an optional embodiment, the mineralization pipeline 101 and the suppression pipeline 102 are connected in parallel and can discharge water simultaneously. Specifically, the mineralization pipeline 101 and the suppression pipeline 102 are connected in parallel between the inlet pipeline and the outlet pipeline 500 of the mineralization filter unit 400. The inlet pipeline can be connected to the mineralization pipeline 101 and the suppression pipeline 102 via a three-way valve or a diverter valve, and the mineralization pipeline 101 and the suppression pipeline 102 can be connected to the outlet pipeline 500 via a three-way valve. When the mineralization pipeline 101 and the suppression pipeline 102 discharge water simultaneously, the water from the mineralization pipeline 101 and the suppression pipeline 102 can be mixed and discharged through the outlet pipeline 500.
[0070] By installing the mineralizing filter element 103 in the mineralizing pipeline 101, the mineralizing filter element 103 can release (dissolve) minerals into the flowing water, thereby ensuring that the water output from the mineralizing pipeline 101 contains minerals to meet people's requirements for mineralized drinking water. By installing the inhibition filter element 104 in the inhibition pipeline 102, the inhibition filter element 104 can release inhibition substances into the flowing water. When water containing inhibition substances flows through the mineralizing filter element 103, it can inhibit the dissolution of minerals in the mineralizing filter element 103, thereby preventing excessively high mineral content in the water.
[0071] In an optional embodiment, the mineralization filter unit 400 further includes a series switching conduit 105. The series switching conduit 105 is disposed between the mineralization conduit 101 and the suppression conduit 102, for connecting the suppression filter 104 and the mineralization filter 103 in series. The output end of the series switching conduit 105 is connected to the mineralization conduit 101 or the mineralization filter 103, and the input end of the series switching conduit 105 is connected to the suppression conduit 102 or the suppression filter 104.
[0072] By connecting the output end of the series switching pipeline 105 to the mineralization pipeline 101 or the mineralization filter element 103, and connecting the input end of the series switching pipeline 105 to the suppression pipeline 102 or the suppression filter element 104, a mineralization treatment structure can be formed in which the suppression filter element 104 is located upstream and the mineralization filter element 103 is located downstream, and water containing the suppression substance flows through the water path of the mineralization filter element 103.
[0073] In specific implementation, to prevent excessive mineral content in the water, water containing inhibitory substances can be allowed to flow through the mineralization filter element 103 via a series switching pipe 105. This inhibits the release of minerals from the mineralization filter element 103, thereby reducing the mineral content in the water. When the mineralization filter element 103 is in a soaking state, for example, if the water flow rate in the mineralization pipe 101 is too slow, stops flowing, or stops flowing for a set period, it may lead to excessively high mineral content in the water (especially in the mineralization filter element 103). By using the series switching pipe 105 to allow water containing inhibitory substances to enter the mineralization filter element 103, the release of minerals from the soaking mineralization filter element 103 is inhibited, thus preventing excessively high mineral content in the water. In this embodiment, the soaking state refers to a situation where the flow rate in the filter element is less than the design threshold, including situations where the water stops flowing or the flow rate is slow.
[0074] In an optional embodiment, a first control valve 106 is provided on the series switching pipeline 105.
[0075] The first control valve 106 has a water flow passable state and a water flow impassable state. In specific applications, the first control valve 106 can also be a flow valve. By setting the first control valve 106 on the series switching pipeline 105, it is possible to control whether the water flow can pass through the series switching pipeline 105 from the suppression filter element 104 to the mineralization filter element 103. For example, when the mineralizing filter element 103 is in a soaking state, the first control valve 106 can be set to a water flow-through state. Therefore, water can flow from the suppression filter element 104 to the mineralizing filter element 103 through the series switching pipeline 105, thereby suppressing the release of minerals by the mineralizing filter element 103, reducing the mineral content in the water, preventing the mineral content from exceeding the set standard, and thus controlling the mineral content within a safe standard range. When the water flow rate of the mineralizing pipeline 101 exceeds the set flow rate, the concentration of minerals in the water flowing through the mineralizing filter element 103 will not exceed the set standard. When it is not necessary to reduce the mineral content in the water, the first control valve 106 can be set to a water flow-through-no-passage state.
[0076] In an optional embodiment, the mineralization filter element unit 400 further includes a second control valve 107, which is disposed in the mineralization pipeline 101 and located at the upstream end of the mineralization filter element 103.
[0077] The second control valve 107 is used to control the on / off state and / or flow rate of the mineralization pipeline 101. By controlling the opening or closing of the second control valve 107, water can be supplied to the mineralization filter element 103. By controlling the flow rate of the mineralization pipeline 101 through the second control valve 107, the amount of minerals released by the mineralization filter element 103 into a unit volume of water can be controlled. Specifically, when the water flow rate of the mineralization pipeline 101 is greater than the set flow rate, the mineral content in a unit volume of water will decrease; when the water flow rate of the mineralization pipeline 101 is lower than the set flow rate, the mineral content in a unit volume of water will increase. Therefore, the flow rate of the mineralization pipeline 101 can be adjusted through the second control valve 107, thereby adjusting the mineral content in the water of the mineralization pipeline 101.
[0078] The output end of the series switching pipeline 105 is connected between the second control valve 107 and the mineralization filter element 103. With this configuration, the output end of the series switching pipeline 105 is connected to the upstream end of the mineralization filter element 103, which enables the water in the series switching pipeline 105 to flow to the mineralization filter element 103.
[0079] In an optional embodiment, the mineralization filter element unit 400 further includes a third control valve 108, which is disposed in the suppression pipeline 102 and located downstream of the suppression filter element 104.
[0080] The third control valve 108 is used to control the on / off state and / or flow rate of the suppression pipeline 102. The input end of the series switching pipeline 105 is connected between the suppression filter element 104 and the third control valve 108. In this configuration, the input end of the series switching pipeline 105 is connected to the downstream end of the suppression filter element 104. When the third control valve 108 is closed and the first control valve 106 is open, water containing the suppression substance can flow to the series switching pipeline 105, thereby causing the water containing the suppression substance to flow to the mineralization filter element 103.
[0081] By controlling the opening or closing of the second control valve 107 and the third control valve 108, and controlling whether the water flow through the first control valve 106 is allowed, water can be discharged simultaneously or separately from the mineralization pipeline 101 and the suppression pipeline 102, and the water flowing through the suppression filter element 104 can enter the mineralization filter element 113 through the series switching pipeline 115.
[0082] For example, when both the mineralization pipeline 101 and the suppression pipeline 102 need to discharge water simultaneously, the second control valve 107 and the third control valve 108 can be opened, while the first control valve 106 is closed. At this time, the series switching pipeline 105 is disconnected, and the mineralization pipeline 101 and the suppression pipeline 102 are connected in parallel. The water containing minerals in the mineralization pipeline 101 and the water containing inhibitory substances in the suppression pipeline 102 can be mixed in the outlet pipeline 500 before being discharged.
[0083] For example, when mineralization pipeline 101 needs to discharge water separately, the second control valve 107 can be opened, and the first control valve 106 and the third control valve 108 can be closed. At this time, mineralization pipeline 101 is open, and suppression pipeline 102 and series switching pipeline 105 are disconnected. The mineral-containing water in mineralization pipeline 101 can be discharged through water outlet pipeline 500.
[0084] For example, when the mineralizing filter element 103 is in the soaking state, the second control valve 107 and the third control valve 108 can be closed and the first control valve 106 can be opened. At this time, the inhibition filter element 104 and the mineralizing filter element 103 are connected through the series switching pipeline 105, and the water containing the inhibition substance can flow to the mineralizing filter element 103 through the series switching pipeline 105.
[0085] In one optional embodiment, the first control valve 106, the second control valve 107, and the third control valve 108 are all solenoid valves. Of course, in other embodiments, the first control valve 106, the second control valve 107, and the third control valve 108 may also be other valves.
[0086] In an optional embodiment, the mineralizing filter element 103 includes zinc-containing filter media (e.g., smithsonite, zincblende), and the inhibition filter element 104 includes alkaline filter media (e.g., magnesite, brucite, sepiolite, calcite). Zinc is indispensable for cell replication, immune activity, tissue repair, and growth, and is a key element in growth and development, reproductive heredity, the immune system, and bone metabolism. Therefore, by configuring the mineralizing filter element 103 to include zinc-containing filter media, the release of mineral zinc into the water is beneficial to human health. Furthermore, water with a pH between 7.0 and 9.0 is considered optimal for human health; by configuring the inhibition filter element 104 to include alkaline filter media, it is beneficial to maintain the water quality within the pH range of 7.0 to 9.0.
[0087] It should be noted that while zinc is an essential trace element for the human body, contributing to growth and development and participating in vitamin metabolism, excessive zinc in drinking water can lead to excessive zinc intake, causing harm such as zinc poisoning and abnormal lipid metabolism. Therefore, by incorporating the inhibitor filter 104 to suppress excessive zinc release, high zinc concentrations can be avoided.
[0088] It is understood that in other embodiments, the mineralizing filter element 103 may also include filter media containing other minerals, such as copper, calcium, magnesium, potassium, strontium, etc. It should be noted that when the mineralizing filter element 103 includes filter media containing other minerals, the corresponding suppressing filter media can be matched in the suppressing filter element 104.
[0089] In an optional embodiment, the mineralizing filter element 103 includes a first alkaline filter material, and the inhibiting filter element 104 includes a second alkaline filter material. The alkalinity of the first alkaline filter material is weaker than that of the second alkaline filter material, and the alkalinity of the second alkaline filter material is stronger than that of the first alkaline filter material. Therefore, the second alkaline filter material can be used to inhibit the leaching of alkaline substances in the first alkaline filter material. In one embodiment, the first alkaline filter material (weakly alkaline) is filled with maifanite or tourmaline, and the second alkaline filter material (strongly alkaline) is filled with a high concentration of zinc and magnesium.
[0090] By filling the first alkaline filter media with weakly alkaline minerals and the second alkaline filter media with strongly alkaline minerals, when water flows through the first alkaline filter media, the alkaline substances precipitated from the first alkaline filter media raise the pH value of the water. Subsequently, when the water flows into the inhibition filter element 104, since the pH value of the water has already been raised by the first alkaline filter media, the precipitation of minerals such as zinc and copper in the second alkaline filter media is inhibited to a certain extent (usually because the solubility of these minerals decreases or the precipitation rate slows down at higher pH values).
[0091] By using the above-mentioned filter element unit 50, when the mineral content in the water is too high, the release or dissolution of minerals in the mineralization filter element can be inhibited, thereby reducing the mineral content in the water.
[0092] Please see Figure 7 As shown, the mineralization filter element unit 400 includes: a mineralization pipeline 111 and a promotion pipeline 112. A mineralization filter element 113 is provided on the mineralization pipeline 111, and a promotion filter element 114 is provided on the promotion pipeline 112.
[0093] In an optional embodiment, the mineralization pipeline 111 and the promoting pipeline 112 are connected in parallel and can discharge water simultaneously. Specifically, the mineralization pipeline 111 and the promoting pipeline 112 are connected in parallel between the inlet pipeline and the outlet pipeline 500 of the mineralization filter unit 400. The inlet pipeline can be connected to the mineralization pipeline 111 and the promoting pipeline 112 via a three-way valve or a diverter valve, and the mineralization pipeline 111 and the promoting pipeline 112 can be connected to the outlet pipeline 500 via a three-way valve. When the mineralization pipeline 111 and the promoting pipeline 112 discharge water simultaneously, the water discharged from the mineralization pipeline 111 and the promoting pipeline 112 can be mixed and discharged through the outlet pipeline 500.
[0094] By installing the mineralizing filter element 113 in the mineralizing pipeline 111, the mineralizing filter element 113 can release (dissolve) minerals into the flowing water, thereby ensuring that the water output from the mineralizing pipeline 111 contains minerals to meet people's requirements for mineralized drinking water. By installing the promoting filter element 114 in the promoting pipeline 112, the promoting filter element 114 can release promoting substances into the flowing water. When water containing promoting substances flows through the mineralizing filter element 113, it can promote the dissolution of minerals in the mineralizing filter element 113, thereby increasing the mineral content in the water.
[0095] In an optional embodiment, the mineralization filter unit 400 further includes a series switching conduit 115. The series switching conduit 115 is disposed between the mineralization conduit 111 and the promoting conduit 112, for connecting the promoting filter element 114 and the mineralization filter element 113 in series. The output end of the series switching conduit 115 is connected to the mineralization conduit 111 or the mineralization filter element 113, and the input end of the series switching conduit 115 is connected to the promoting conduit 112 or the promoting filter element 114.
[0096] By connecting the output end of the series switching pipeline 115 to the mineralization pipeline 111 or the mineralization filter element 113, and connecting the input end of the series switching pipeline 115 to the promoting pipeline 112 or the promoting filter element 114, a mineralization treatment structure can be formed in which the promoting filter element 114 is located upstream and the mineralization filter element 113 is located downstream, and water containing promoting substances flows through the water path of the mineralization filter element 113.
[0097] Water containing a promoting agent flows into the mineralization filter element 113, enabling the agent to promote the release of minerals by the filter element 113, increasing the mineral content in the water and preventing the mineral content from falling below the standard. For example, when the water flow rate in the mineralization pipe 111 exceeds the set flow rate (i.e., the water flow rate is at a high flow rate), the water flow velocity increases, and the amount of minerals released per unit volume of water decreases. By connecting the series switching pipe 115 to allow water containing the promoting agent to flow into the mineralization filter element 113, the release of minerals by the filter element 113 is promoted, increasing the mineral content in the water. When the mineralization filter element 113 has been used for a certain period of time and reaches the middle to late stage of its service life, the performance of the mineral release function of the filter element 113 decreases. By promoting the release of minerals by the filter element 113 with the promoting agent, the mineral content in the water can be effectively increased, thereby ensuring that the mineral content in the water meets the standard and extending the service life of the mineralization filter element 113.
[0098] In an optional embodiment, a first control valve 116 is provided on the series switching pipeline 115.
[0099] The first control valve 116 has a water flow passable state and a water flow impassable state. In specific applications, the first control valve 116 can also be a flow valve. By setting the first control valve 116 on the series switching pipeline 115, it is possible to control whether the water flow can pass through the series switching pipeline 115 from the facilitator filter element 114 to the mineralization filter element 113. When the water flow rate in the mineralization pipeline 111 is high, or when the mineralization filter element 113 has reached the middle or late stage of its service life, the first control valve 116 can be set to a water flow-through state. At this time, the water can flow from the promoting filter element 114 to the mineralization filter element 113 through the series switching pipeline 115, thereby increasing the amount of minerals released by the mineralization filter element 113, increasing the mineral content in the water, preventing the mineral content from falling below the set standard, and thus controlling the mineral content within a safe standard range. When the water flow rate in the mineralization pipeline 111 is lower than the set flow rate, or when the mineralization filter element 113 is in the early stage of its service life, the concentration of minerals in the water flowing through the mineralization filter element 113 will not be lower than the set standard, and the mineral content in the water meets the standard. At this time, the first control valve 116 can be set to a water flow-through-no-passage state.
[0100] In an optional embodiment, the mineralization filter element unit 400 further includes a second control valve 117, which is disposed in the mineralization pipeline 111 and located at the upstream end of the mineralization filter element 113.
[0101] The second control valve 117 is used to control the on / off state and / or flow rate of the mineralization pipeline 111. By controlling the opening or closing of the second control valve 117, water can be supplied to the mineralization filter element 113. By controlling the flow rate of the mineralization pipeline 111 through the second control valve 117, the amount of minerals released by the mineralization filter element 113 into a unit volume of water can be controlled. Specifically, when the water flow rate of the mineralization pipeline 111 is greater than the set flow rate, the mineral content in a unit volume of water will decrease; when the water flow rate of the mineralization pipeline 111 is lower than the set flow rate, the mineral content in a unit volume of water will increase. Therefore, the flow rate of the mineralization pipeline 111 can be adjusted by the second control valve 117, thereby adjusting the mineral content in the water of the mineralization pipeline 111.
[0102] The output end of the series switching pipeline 115 is connected between the second control valve 117 and the mineralization filter element 113. With this configuration, the output end of the series switching pipeline 115 is connected to the upstream end of the mineralization filter element 113, which enables the water in the series switching pipeline 115 to flow to the mineralization filter element 113.
[0103] In an optional embodiment, the mineralization filter element unit 400 further includes a third control valve 118, which is disposed in the promoting pipeline 112 and located downstream of the promoting filter element 114.
[0104] The third control valve 118 is used to control the on / off state and / or flow rate of the promoting pipeline 112. The input end of the series switching pipeline 115 is connected between the promoting filter element 114 and the third control valve 118. In this configuration, the input end of the series switching pipeline 115 is connected to the downstream end of the promoting filter element 114. When the third control valve 118 is closed and the first control valve 116 is open, water containing the promoting substance can flow to the series switching pipeline 115, thereby causing the water containing the promoting substance to flow to the mineralization filter element 113.
[0105] By controlling the opening or closing of the second control valve 117 and the third control valve 118, and controlling whether the water flow can pass through the first control valve 116, water can be discharged simultaneously or separately from the mineralization pipeline 111 and the promotion pipeline 112, and the water flowing through the promotion filter element 114 can enter the mineralization filter element 113 through the series switching pipeline 115.
[0106] For example, when mineralization pipeline 111 and promoting pipeline 112 need to discharge water simultaneously, the second control valve 117 and the third control valve 118 can be opened, and the first control valve 116 can be closed. At this time, the series switching pipeline 115 is disconnected, and mineralization pipeline 111 and promoting pipeline 112 are connected in parallel. The water containing minerals in mineralization pipeline 111 and the water containing promoting substances in promoting pipeline 112 can be mixed in the outlet pipeline 500 and then discharged.
[0107] For example, when mineralization pipeline 111 needs to discharge water independently, the second control valve 117 can be opened, and the first control valve 116 and the third control valve 118 can be closed. At this time, mineralization pipeline 111 is open, which promotes the disconnection of pipeline 112 and series switching pipeline 115. The mineral-containing water in mineralization pipeline 111 can be discharged through water outlet pipeline 500.
[0108] For example, when the mineralizing filter element 113 is in the middle to late stage of its service life, the first control valve 116 can be opened, while the second control valve 117 and the third control valve 118 can be closed. At this time, the promoting filter element 114 and the mineralizing filter element 113 are connected through the series switching pipe 115. Water containing promoting substances can flow to the mineralizing filter element 113 through the series switching pipe 115, thereby promoting the release of minerals from the mineralizing filter element 113 so that the mineral content in the water meets the standards. Even if the mineralizing filter element 113 is in the middle to late stage of its service life (the mineral dissolution rate decreases), by setting the promoting filter element 114, the mineral dissolution rate in the mineralizing filter element 113 can be kept within a set range, thus extending the service life of the mineralizing filter element 113. Alternatively, when the flow rate is high, the first control valve 116 can also be opened, while the second control valve 117 and the third control valve 118 can be closed, ensuring that the mineral content in the water meets the standards even at high flow rates.
[0109] In one optional embodiment, the first control valve 116, the second control valve 117, and the third control valve 118 are all solenoid valves. Of course, in other embodiments, the first control valve 116, the second control valve 117, and the third control valve 118 may also be other valves.
[0110] In an optional embodiment, the mineralizing filter element 113 includes a filter material containing metasilicic acid, and the promoting filter element 114 includes an alkaline filter material. Silicon is one of the essential trace elements for the human body, and its levels tend to decrease significantly with age. Modern medicine shows that silicon affects the synthesis of bone tissue biomolecules, is related to bone growth and structure, plays a physiological role in bone calcification, and can promote bone development. Insufficient intake will reduce the calcium content of bones. A lack of silicon in the body can also lead to growth retardation, skeletal abnormalities, deformities (especially of the skull), and dysplasia of teeth or tooth enamel. Silicon can also enhance the strength of elastic fibers in blood vessels, especially the intima elastic layer, thus forming a barrier that effectively prevents lipid invasion. This property gives silicon an anti-atherosclerotic effect, maintaining the integrity of elastic fibers and interstitial tissue, thereby preventing the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. Silicon can also remove fat deposits on the inner walls of blood vessels; this mechanism can alleviate arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular, and heart diseases.
[0111] The silicon needed by the human body generally comes from water, and the silicon in water exists in the form of metasilicic acid, which is easily absorbed by the human body and skin. Therefore, by incorporating a mineralization filter element 113 containing metasilicic acid filter material, the mineralization filter element 113 can release metasilicic acid into the water, which is beneficial to human health.
[0112] In addition, water with a pH value between 7.0 and 9.0 is the optimal water quality for human health. By setting the filter cartridge 114 to include alkaline filter media, it is beneficial to keep the water quality within the pH range of 7.0 to 9.0, which is conducive to human health.
[0113] It is understood that in other embodiments, the mineralizing filter element 113 may also include filter media containing other minerals, such as copper, calcium, magnesium, potassium, strontium, zinc, etc. It should be noted that when the mineralizing filter element 113 includes filter media containing other minerals, a corresponding promoting filter media can be matched in the promoting filter element 114.
[0114] In an optional embodiment, the mineralizing filter element 113 comprises maifanite, and the promoting filter element 114 comprises periclase. By using maifanite as the filter material of the mineralizing filter element 113, beneficial metasilicic acid can be released without producing harmful substances.
[0115] By using the above-mentioned filter element unit 50, when the mineral content in the water is insufficient, the release or dissolution of minerals in the mineralization filter element can be promoted to increase the mineral content in the water.
[0116] like Figure 8 As shown, the mineralization filter unit 400 includes: a mineralization pipeline 121, an inhibition pipeline 122, and a promotion pipeline 123. A mineralization filter element 124 is disposed on the mineralization pipeline 121, an inhibition filter element 125 is disposed on the inhibition pipeline 122, and a promotion filter element 126 is disposed on the promotion pipeline 123.
[0117] In an optional embodiment, the mineralization pipeline 121, the inhibition pipeline 122, and the promotion pipeline 123 are arranged in parallel and can discharge water simultaneously. Specifically, the mineralization pipeline 121, the inhibition pipeline 122, and the promotion pipeline 123 are connected in parallel between the inlet pipeline and the outlet pipeline 500 of the mineralization filter unit 400. The inlet pipeline can be connected to the mineralization pipeline 121, the inhibition pipeline 122, and the promotion pipeline 123 via a multi-way valve or a diverter valve, and the mineralization pipeline 121, the inhibition pipeline 122, and the promotion pipeline 123 can be connected to the outlet pipeline 500 via a multi-way valve. When the mineralization pipeline 121, the inhibition pipeline 122, and the promotion pipeline 123 discharge water simultaneously, the water discharged from the mineralization pipeline 121, the inhibition pipeline 122, and the promotion pipeline 123 can be mixed and discharged through the outlet pipeline 500.
[0118] By installing the mineralizing filter element 124 in the mineralizing pipeline 121, the mineralizing filter element 124 can release (dissolve) minerals into the flowing water, thereby ensuring that the water output from the mineralizing pipeline 121 contains minerals to meet people's requirements for mineralized drinking water. By installing the inhibition filter element 125 in the inhibition pipeline 122, the inhibition filter element 125 can release inhibition substances into the flowing water. When water containing inhibition substances flows through the mineralizing filter element 124, it can inhibit the dissolution of minerals in the mineralizing filter element 124, thereby preventing excessively high mineral content in the water. By installing the promotion filter element 126 in the promotion pipeline 123, the promotion filter element 126 can release promotion substances into the flowing water. When water containing promotion substances flows through the mineralizing filter element 124, it can promote the dissolution of minerals in the mineralizing filter element 124, thereby increasing the mineral content in the water.
[0119] In an optional embodiment, the mineralization filter unit 400 further includes a first connecting pipe 127. The first connecting pipe 127 is disposed between the mineralization pipe 121 and the suppression pipe 122, for connecting the suppression filter 125 and the mineralization filter 124 in series. The output end of the first connecting pipe 127 is connected to the mineralization pipe 121 or the mineralization filter 124, and the input end of the first connecting pipe 127 is connected to the suppression pipe 122 or the suppression filter 125. Thus, a mineralization treatment structure is formed with the suppression filter 125 upstream and the mineralization filter 124 downstream, allowing water containing the suppressing substance to flow through the water path of the mineralization filter 124.
[0120] In an optional embodiment, the mineralization filter unit 400 further includes a second connecting pipe 128. The second connecting pipe 128 is disposed between the mineralization pipe 121 and the promoting pipe 123, for connecting the promoting filter 126 and the mineralization filter 124 in series. The output end of the first connecting pipe 127 is connected to the mineralization pipe 121 or the mineralization filter 124, and the input end of the first connecting pipe 127 is connected to the promoting pipe 123 or the promoting filter 126. Thus, a mineralization treatment structure is formed with the promoting filter 126 upstream and the mineralization filter 124 downstream, allowing water containing promoting substances to flow through the water path of the mineralization filter 124.
[0121] In an optional embodiment, a first control valve 1291 is provided on the first connecting pipe 127. The first control valve 1291 has a water flow-through state and a water flow-independent state. In specific applications, the first control valve 1291 can also be a flow valve.
[0122] In an optional embodiment, a second control valve 1292 is provided on the second connecting pipe 128. The second control valve 1292 has a water flow-through state and a water flow-independent state. In specific applications, the second control valve 1292 can also be a flow valve.
[0123] In an optional embodiment, a third control valve 1293 for controlling the on / off state and / or flow rate of the mineralization pipeline 121 is provided on the mineralization pipeline 121. The third control valve 1293 is located at the upstream end of the mineralization filter element 124.
[0124] In an optional embodiment, a fourth control valve 1294 for controlling the on / off state and / or flow rate of the suppression pipeline 122 is provided on the suppression pipeline 122. The fourth control valve 1294 is located at the downstream end of the suppression filter element 125, and by controlling the opening or closing of the fourth control valve 1294, water can be supplied to the suppression filter element 125.
[0125] In an optional embodiment, a fifth control valve 1295 is provided on the promoting pipeline 123 for controlling the on / off state and / or flow rate of the promoting pipeline 123. The fifth control valve 1295 is located at the downstream end of the promoting filter element 126, and by controlling the opening or closing of the fifth control valve 1295, water can be supplied to the promoting filter element 126.
[0126] One end of the first connecting pipe 127 is connected between the third control valve 1293 and the mineralizing filter element 124, and the other end is connected between the suppression filter element 125 and the fourth control valve 1294. Since the third control valve 1293 is located upstream of the mineralizing filter element 124 and the fourth control valve 1294 is located downstream of the suppression filter element 125, the input end of the first connecting pipe 127 is connected to the downstream end of the suppression filter element 125, and the output end of the first connecting pipe 127 is connected to the upstream end of the mineralizing filter element 124. When the third control valve 1293 and the fourth control valve 1294 are closed, and the first control valve 1291 is in a water flow-through state, water containing the inhibitory substance can flow to the first connecting pipe 127, and then to the mineralizing filter element 124.
[0127] One end of the second connecting pipe 128 is connected between the third control valve 1293 and the mineralizing filter element 124, and the other end is connected between the promoting filter element 126 and the fifth control valve 1295. Since the third control valve 1293 is located upstream of the mineralizing filter element 124 and the fifth control valve 1295 is located downstream of the promoting filter element 126, the input end of the second connecting pipe 128 is connected to the downstream end of the promoting filter element 126, and the output end of the second connecting pipe 128 is connected to the upstream end of the mineralizing filter element 124. When the third control valve 1293 and the fifth control valve 1295 are closed, and the second control valve 1292 is in a water flow-through state, water containing the promoting substance can flow to the second connecting pipe 128, and then to the mineralizing filter element 124.
[0128] By controlling the opening or closing of the first control valve 1291, the second control valve 1292, the third control valve 1293, the fourth control valve 1294, and the fifth control valve 1295, water can be discharged simultaneously or individually from at least any two of the mineralization pipeline 121, the suppression pipeline 122, and the promotion pipeline 123. Furthermore, water flowing through the suppression filter element 125 can enter the mineralization filter element 124 through the first connecting pipeline 127, or water flowing through the promotion filter element 126 can enter the mineralization filter element 124 through the second connecting pipeline 128, etc., thereby enabling the pipeline structure to meet different requirements.
[0129] For example, when mineralization pipeline 121, inhibition pipeline 122 and promotion pipeline 123 need to discharge water simultaneously, the third control valve 1293, the fourth control valve 1294 and the fifth control valve 1295 can be opened, and the first control valve 1291 and the second control valve 1292 can be controlled to be in a state where water flow cannot pass through. At this time, the first connecting pipeline 127 and the second connecting pipeline 128 are disconnected. Mineralization pipeline 121, inhibition pipeline 122 and promotion pipeline 123 are connected between the inlet pipeline and the outlet pipeline 500 and are set in parallel. The water in mineralization pipeline 121, the water in inhibition pipeline 122 and the water in promotion pipeline 123 are mixed in the outlet pipeline 500 and then discharged.
[0130] For example, when the mineralizing filter element 124 is in the soaking state, the first control valve 1291 can be controlled to be in the water flow-through state, the second control valve 1292 can be controlled to be in the water flow-blocking state, and the third control valve 1293, the fourth control valve 1294, and the fifth control valve 1295 can be controlled to be closed. At this time, the second connecting pipe 128 and the promoting pipe 123 are both disconnected, and the inhibiting filter element 125 and the mineralizing filter element 124 are connected through the first connecting pipe 127. Water containing the inhibiting substance can flow to the mineralizing filter element 124 through the first connecting pipe 127, thereby allowing the water containing the inhibiting substance to enter and fill the mineralizing filter element 124, and the mineralizing filter element 124 can be soaked by the water containing the inhibiting substance.
[0131] For example, to prevent the mineralization filter element 124 from exceeding the mineral content standard due to soaking and to add new mineral types to the water, the first control valve 1291 can be controlled to be in a water flow-through state, the second control valve 1292 can be controlled to be in a water flow-blocking state, the third control valve 1293 and the fourth control valve 1294 can be controlled to be closed, and the fifth control valve 1295 can be controlled to be opened. At this time, the second connecting pipe 128 is disconnected; the inhibition filter element 125 and the mineralization filter element 124 are connected through the first connecting pipe 127, and the water containing the inhibition substance can flow to the mineralization filter element 124 through the first connecting pipe 127, thereby inhibiting the release of minerals by the mineralization filter element 124 to prevent the mineral content in the water from exceeding the standard content; the promoting pipe 123 is connected, and the water containing the promoting substance can flow to the outlet pipe 500, wherein the promoting filter element 126 may include filter media that releases minerals, thereby enabling the addition of new mineral types to the water. For example, the filter element 126 includes the periclase filter material described below. The periclase filter material is an alkaline filter material. The released (dissolved) mineral periclase can adjust the pH value of the water, improve the taste of drinking water, and maintain human health.
[0132] For example, when the mineralizing filter element 124 is in the middle to late stage of its service life, the first control valve 1291 can be controlled to be in a state where water flow is prohibited, the second control valve 1292 can be controlled to be in a state where water flow is permitted, and the third control valve 1293, the fourth control valve 1294, and the fifth control valve 1295 can be controlled to be closed. At this time, the first connecting pipe 127 and the suppression pipe 122 are both disconnected, and the promoting filter element 126 and the mineralizing filter element 124 are connected through the second connecting pipe 128. Water containing promoting substances can flow to the mineralizing filter element 124 through the second connecting pipe 128, thereby promoting the release of minerals by the mineralizing filter element 124 so that the mineral content in the water meets the standards. Even if the mineralizing filter element 124 is in the middle to late stage of its service life (the mineral dissolution rate decreases), by setting the promoting filter element 126, the mineral dissolution rate in the mineralizing filter element 124 can be kept within a set range, and the service life of the mineralizing filter element 124 can be extended. Alternatively, when a large flow rate is expected, the first control valve 1291 can be controlled to be in a state where water flow is not allowed, the second control valve 1292 can be controlled to be in a state where water flow is allowed, and the third control valve 1293, the fourth control valve 1294 and the fifth control valve 1295 can be controlled to be closed, so that the minerals in the water can meet the standards when the flow rate is large.
[0133] For example, when a large flow rate is anticipated and new mineral types are added to the water body, the first control valve 1291 can be controlled to be in a state where water flow is prohibited, the second control valve 1292 can be controlled to be in a state where water flow is permitted, the third control valve 1293 and the fifth control valve 1295 can be controlled to be closed, and the fourth control valve 1294 can be controlled to be opened. At this time, the first connecting pipe 127 is disconnected; the promoting filter element 126 and the mineralizing filter element 124 are connected through the second connecting pipe 128, and the water containing the promoting substance can flow to the mineralizing filter element 124 through the second connecting pipe 128, thereby promoting the release of minerals by the mineralizing filter element 124 so that the minerals in the water body can meet the standards; the inhibiting pipe 122 is connected, and the water containing the inhibiting substance can flow to the outlet pipe 500, wherein the inhibiting filter element 125 may include filter media that releases minerals, thereby enabling the addition of new mineral types to the water body. For example, the filter cartridge 125 includes the zeolite filter material described below. The zeolite filter material releases (dissolves) minerals such as zeolite, which can adsorb harmful substances such as heavy metals, ammonium and hydrogen compounds in the water, greatly improving water quality. In addition, zeolite can also adjust the pH value of the water, improve the taste of drinking water, and maintain human health.
[0134] In one optional embodiment, the first control valve 1291, the second control valve 1292, the third control valve 1293, the fourth control valve 1294, and the fifth control valve 1295 are all solenoid valves. Of course, in other embodiments, the first control valve 1291, the second control valve 1292, the third control valve 1293, the fourth control valve 1294, and the fifth control valve 1295 may also be other valves.
[0135] In one optional embodiment, the mineralizing filter element 124 includes a filter material containing metasilicic acid, the inhibiting filter element 125 includes a zeolite filter material, and the promoting filter element 126 includes an alkaline filter material. In other embodiments, the mineralizing filter element 124 may also include a filter material containing other minerals, such as copper, calcium, magnesium, potassium, strontium, zinc, etc. It should be noted that when the mineralizing filter element 124 includes a filter material containing other minerals, the promoting filter element 126 should be matched with a corresponding promoting filter material, and the inhibiting filter element 125 should be matched with a corresponding inhibiting filter material.
[0136] In an optional embodiment, the mineralizing filter element 124 comprises maifanite, the promoting filter element 126 comprises periclase, and the inhibiting filter element 125 comprises zeolite.
[0137] By employing the aforementioned filter element unit 50, water containing inhibitory substances is supplied to the mineralization filter element 124 to inhibit the release of minerals by the mineralization filter element 124, thereby preventing the occurrence of excessively high mineral content in the water; and water containing promoting substances is supplied to the mineralization filter element 124 to promote the release of minerals by the mineralization filter element 124, thereby preventing the occurrence of substandard mineral content in the water.
[0138] In an optional embodiment, conductivity detection components 10 are installed upstream and downstream of the mineralization filter unit 400 to detect the conductivity data of the upstream and downstream of the mineralization filter unit 400 in real time. The upstream and downstream conductivity detection components 10 respectively transmit their detected conductivity data to the control component 410. After obtaining the conductivity data of the upstream and downstream of the mineralization filter unit 400, the control component can calculate the water pH value based on the conductivity data.
[0139] In one embodiment, the control component 410 calculates the conductivity difference based on the conductivity data of the upstream and downstream components. Based on a preset correspondence between the conductivity difference and the pH value of the water, the pH value of the water filtered by the mineralization filter unit 50 can be obtained. This correspondence is a mathematical function obtained by fitting the relationship between the conductivity difference and the pH value using data fitting methods (such as linear regression, multinomial regression, machine learning algorithms, etc.).
[0140] If the pH value of the water is lower than the preset pH threshold (indicating insufficient mineralization), the control power supply component 420 increases the positive voltage applied to the single-channel desalination component 200 to improve the desalination efficiency of the single-channel desalination component 200, reduce the salt content in the pure water entering the mineralization filter unit 400, and thus improve the mineralization effect.
[0141] If the water pH value is higher than the preset pH threshold (indicating possible over-mineralization or aging of the mineralization filter element), the positive voltage applied to the single-channel desalination component 200 is reduced or switched to reverse voltage. This reduces the desalination efficiency of the single-channel desalination component 200 or increases the flushing frequency of the single-channel desalination component 200 to promote the regeneration of the single-channel desalination component 200 and reduce the clogging of the mineralization filter element unit 400 by salt.
[0142] In other embodiments, the control component 410 can also control the opening and closing of various control valves in the mineralization filter unit 400 based on the conductivity data detected by the conductivity detection component 10, thereby further ensuring that the pH value of the water filtered by the mineralization filter unit 400 is maintained within a preset pH threshold range. For example, if the water pH value is too low, the release of minerals is increased; if the water pH value is too high, the release of minerals is reduced.
[0143] See Figure 9 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the mineralized water purifier 2 provided in this embodiment of the application. The mineralized water purifier 2 includes a mineralized water circuit system 1.

[0145] It should be understood that the various variations and specific embodiments of the mineralized water system 1 provided in the above embodiments are also applicable to the mineralized water purifier 2 in this embodiment. Through the detailed description of the aforementioned mineralized water system 1, those skilled in the art can clearly understand the implementation process of the mineralized water purifier 2 in this embodiment. For the sake of brevity, it will not be described in detail here.
[0146] The mineralized water system and mineralized water purifier provided in this application embodiment achieve highly efficient purification of raw water through a single-channel desalination component and a dual-channel desalination component arranged in parallel. The dual-channel desalination component first performs preliminary desalination, and the resulting pure water then flows into the single-channel desalination component for further purification, ensuring that the effluent water quality meets high standards. While the pure water produced by the dual-channel desalination component flows into the single-channel desalination component, the salts in the single-channel desalination component are flushed out by the pure water and discharged through branch pipes, achieving self-cleaning and regeneration of the single-channel desalination component. This not only extends the service life of the single-channel desalination component but also ensures the continuous stability of the system's effluent water quality. The pure water treated by the desalination component flows into the mineralization filter unit for mineralization. The mineralization filter unit adds beneficial minerals to the pure water, making the effluent not only pure but also rich in mineral elements beneficial to the human body, improving the quality and taste of drinking water.
[0147] Furthermore, the connection of the branch pipeline to the first port of the single-channel desalination component facilitates the switching of the water path in the mineralization water system. When needed, the water flow path can be changed by adjusting the water path switching device to achieve different operating modes. For example, when the single-channel desalination component needs to be regenerated and flushed, the flushing water can be directed to the branch pipeline through the water path switching device, avoiding interference with the normal effluent quality.
