DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] The wastewater discharge method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be applied in Figure 1 In the application environment shown. Figure 1 As shown, the water purifier includes a tap water flow sensor 10 , a first pressure sensor 11 , a purified water container 12 , a water inlet solenoid valve 13 , a booster pump 14 and a filtering system 15 .

[0030] Among them, one end of the water inlet solenoid valve 13 is connected to the tap water outlet aa, the other end of the water inlet solenoid valve aa is connected to one end of the boosting pump 14, the water inlet end of the filtration system 15 is connected to the other end of the boosting pump 14, the clean water discharge end of the filtration system 15 is connected to the clean water container 12, and the concentrated water discharge end of the filtration system 15 is connected to the tap water discharge pipe 01. The tap water flow sensor 10 is arranged on the tap water discharge pipe 01, which is used to detect the water flow signal of the tap water discharge pipe 01, and the first pressure sensor 11 is used to detect the water pressure of the pipe where the clean water container 12 is located.

[0031] The water inlet solenoid valve 13 is a solenoid valve used to control the flow of tap water flowing out of the tap water outlet aa to the booster pump 14. The booster pump 14 is used to boost the pressure of the tap water passing through the water inlet solenoid valve 13. The tap water flow sensor 10 can be a flow sensor.

[0032] The filter system 15 is used to filter the tap water pressurized by the booster pump 14 to prepare clean water. In the process of preparing clean water, concentrated water is produced. The concentrated water can be introduced into the tap water discharge pipe 01 through the concentrated water discharge end of the filter system 15, mixed with the tap water in the tap water discharge pipe 01, and discharged through the tap water faucet at the end of the tap water discharge pipe 01. The filter system 15 can be used to remove harmful substances such as heavy metals, bacteria, and viruses in tap water. Optionally, the filter system 15 uses a reverse osmosis filter element membrane for filtration.

[0033] The clean water container 12 may be a pressure water storage tank.

[0034] See also Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 A schematic flow chart of a wastewater discharge method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The method can be applied to Figure 1 In the application environment shown. The wastewater discharge method includes the following steps S100 to S200:

[0035] S100: After receiving the water purification signal from the filtration system 15, a concentrated water discharge mode is obtained, where the concentrated water discharge mode indicates a discharge method of the concentrated water generated by the filtration system.

[0036] Among them, the clean water preparation signal can be a signal automatically generated by the filtration system 15 after the filtration system 15 is controlled to be turned on. The clean water preparation signal can be used to indicate that the water inlet solenoid valve 13 is turned on, the booster pump 14 is turned on, and the filtration system 15 is started, so that the tap water flowing out of the tap water outlet aa is pressurized by the booster pump 14 and flows into the water inlet end of the filtration system 15, and the filtration system 15 starts to prepare clean water.

[0037] In one embodiment, an LED light (not shown in the figure) can be provided on the water purifier, and the clean water preparation signal can be a signal for controlling the LED light generated after detecting that the control filtration system 15 is turned on. For example, the number of flashes of the LED light, the color of the LED light, etc. are controlled by the clean water preparation signal to prompt the user that the water purifier has started to prepare clean water, and remind the user to select the corresponding concentrated water discharge mode according to the current water demand.

[0038] In one embodiment, the purified water preparation signal may be a text message generated after detecting that the control filtration system 15 is turned on and sent to a user terminal (such as a mobile phone, tablet, etc.) to prompt the user that the water purifier has started to prepare purified water and remind the user to select the corresponding concentrated water discharge mode according to the current water demand.

[0039] In one embodiment, a sound player (not shown in the figure) is provided on the water purifier, and the purified water preparation signal may be a sound information generated after detecting that the control filtration system 15 is turned on. The sound information is played through the sound player to prompt the user that the water purifier has started to prepare purified water, and to remind the user to select the corresponding concentrated water discharge mode according to the current water demand.

[0040] S200: According to the concentrated water discharge mode, controlling the filtering system to discharge the concentrated water.

[0041] Among them, the concentrated water discharge mode may include a mixed discharge mode in which concentrated water and tap water are mixed and discharged, and a pure concentrated water discharge mode.

[0042] In this embodiment, the concentrated water discharge mode is obtained by receiving the purified water preparation signal of the filter system 15, and the concentrated water discharge mode represents the discharge mode of the concentrated water generated by the filter system 15; according to the concentrated water discharge mode, the filter system 15 is controlled to discharge the concentrated water. In this application, the purified water preparation signal received by the filter system 15 is used as the time node for obtaining the concentrated water discharge mode, so as to timely control the discharge mode of the concentrated water generated by the filter system 15, and avoid directly discharging the concentrated water into the sewer, thereby greatly reducing the discharge of concentrated water, improving the utilization rate of concentrated water, and reducing the waste of water resources.

[0043] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, in step S200, that is, according to the concentrated water discharge mode, controlling the filtration system to discharge the concentrated water includes the following steps S210 to S213:

[0044] S211: If the concentrated water discharge mode is a mixed discharge mode, during the process of the filtration system 15 preparing the purified water, if the water flow signal is detected and a mixed discharge scenario determination instruction is received, the target mixed discharge scenario is determined according to the mixed discharge scenario determination instruction, wherein the mixed discharge mode is to discharge the tap water after mixing it with the concentrated water.

[0045] Among them, the mixed emission scene determination instruction is an instruction for determining the target mixed emission scene. The mixed emission scene determination instruction can be digital information, pattern information, or text information. Exemplarily, in the application scenario of kitchen water, the mixed emission scene can be scenes such as washing vegetables, washing hands, and washing rice. Optionally, mixed emission scenes such as washing vegetables, washing hands, and washing rice can be replaced by digital information, such as 1 represents washing vegetables, 2 represents washing hands, and 3 represents washing rice. Furthermore, scenes such as washing vegetables, washing hands, and washing rice can be further refined. For example, washing vegetables includes washing vegetables, washing root vegetables, washing meat, etc., wherein 11 represents washing vegetables (such as Shanghai greens, chicken feather vegetables, etc.), and 12 represents washing root vegetables (such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc.). Based on this, the mixed emission scene determination instruction can be the above-mentioned 1, 2, 3, 11, 12.

[0046] In the process of preparing purified water by the filtration system 15, if a water flow signal is detected, it means that water flows through the tap water discharge pipe 01, and a mixed discharge scene determination instruction is received, which means that the user has received the purified water preparation signal and selected a concentrated water discharge mode that meets the user's current water demand. In this way, a mixed discharge scene determination instruction is generated according to the user's selection to determine the target mixed discharge scene. Specifically, the mixed discharge mode can be to mix tap water with the concentrated water and then discharge it through the faucet at the end of the tap water discharge pipe 01.

[0047] S212: Obtain the tap water mixing ratio corresponding to the target mixed discharge scenario.

[0048] The tap water mixing ratio may be a mixing ratio between the flow rate of tap water and the flow rate of concentrated water, or may be a ratio between the flow time of tap water and the flow time of concentrated water.

[0049] S213: Based on the mixing ratio of the tap water, control the concentrated water discharged from the filtration system to enter the tap water drainage pipe.

[0050] In one embodiment, the water purifier 100 may further include a concentrated water flow sensor (not shown in the figure), which may be a flow sensor, and is disposed in a connecting pipe between the concentrated water discharge end and the tap water discharge pipe 01, and is used to detect a water flow signal on a connecting pipe between the concentrated water discharge end of the filtration system 15 and the tap water discharge pipe 01. Based on this, the concentrated water discharged from the filtration system may be controlled to enter the tap water discharge pipe 01 based on the water flow signal of the tap water, the water flow signal of the concentrated water, and the mixing ratio of the tap water, so as to be discharged through the tap water faucet at the end of the tap water discharge pipe 01, so that the ratio of the tap water to the concentrated water in the water discharged from the tap water faucet conforms to the mixing ratio of the tap water.

[0051] In one embodiment, the water purifier 100 may further include a first flow control valve (not shown in the figure), a second flow control valve (not shown in the figure), wherein the first flow control valve is arranged on the tap water discharge pipe 01, and is used to control the water flow rate of the tap water discharge pipe 01 by controlling the opening of the first flow control valve, and the second flow control valve may be arranged in the connecting pipe between the concentrated water discharge end and the tap water discharge pipe 01, and is used to control the water flow rate of the connecting pipe between the concentrated water discharge end and the tap water discharge pipe 01 by the opening of the second flow control valve. Optionally, the first flow control valve may be a butterfly valve, a ball valve, a stop valve and a gate valve. The second flow control valve may be a butterfly valve, a ball valve, a stop valve and a gate valve. Based on this, the concentrated water discharged by the filtration system may be controlled to enter the tap water discharge pipe 01 and mix with the tap water based on the opening of the first flow control valve, the opening of the second flow control valve and the mixing ratio of the tap water, and then be discharged through the tap water faucet at the end of the tap water discharge pipe 01.

[0052] In this embodiment, by determining the target mixed discharge scenario, and then obtaining the tap water mixing ratio corresponding to the target mixed discharge scenario, based on the tap water mixing ratio and combined with the target mixed discharge scenario, the concentrated water discharged by the filtration system 15 is controlled to enter the tap water discharge pipe 01 and mix with the tap water, and then be discharged through the tap at the end of the tap water discharge pipe 01. By adapting measures to local conditions, that is, combining the current water demand of users, the concentrated water discharged by the filtration system 15 is fully utilized to avoid the concentrated water being directly discharged into the sewer, thereby greatly reducing the discharge of concentrated water, improving the utilization rate of concentrated water, and reducing the waste of water resources.

[0053] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, step S213, that is, controlling the concentrated water discharged from the filtration system to enter the tap water discharge pipe based on the tap water mixing ratio, includes the following steps S2130 to S2132:

[0054] S2130: Obtain a water outlet setting signal of the tap water drainage pipe 01, wherein the water outlet setting signal carries a target tap water flow rate.

[0055] Among them, the water outlet setting signal is used to represent the signal of the water flow rate of the tap water drainage pipe 01, and the target tap water flow rate can be the default flow rate of the tap water drainage pipe 01, or the tap water flow rate set by the user.

[0056] S2131: Determine the concentrated water discharge rate based on the diameter of the tap water discharge pipe, the diameter of the concentrated water discharge end, the target tap water flow rate and the tap water mixing ratio.

[0057] Among them, the opening degree of the second flow control valve can be determined based on the diameter of the tap water discharge pipe, the diameter of the concentrated water discharge end, the target tap water flow rate and the tap water mixing ratio, thereby determining the concentrated water discharge rate.

[0058] S2132: Based on the concentrated water discharge rate, control the concentrated water discharged from the filtration system to enter the tap water discharge pipe 01.

[0059] In this embodiment, the concentrated water discharge rate is determined based on the diameter of the tap water discharge pipe 01, the diameter of the concentrated water discharge end, the target tap water flow rate and the tap water mixing ratio. Thus, by controlling the concentrated water discharge rate, the tap water and concentrated water are mixed based on the tap water mixing ratio. On the one hand, the concentrated water discharge rate can be determined based on the target tap water flow rate and the tap water mixing ratio, so that the mixed water meets the user's water demand. On the other hand, it can avoid the concentrated water from being discharged directly into the sewer, thereby greatly reducing the discharge of concentrated water, improving the utilization rate of concentrated water, and reducing the waste of water resources.

[0060] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of an application environment of a wastewater discharge method in another embodiment is provided, such as Figure 3 As shown, the water purifier also includes a first wastewater solenoid valve 20, a second wastewater solenoid valve 21, a concentrated water discharge pipe 03, a special scenario discharge pipe 04, a tap water reflux check valve 22, a second pressure sensor 23 and a wastewater container 24; the first end of the concentrated water discharge pipe 03 is connected to the concentrated water discharge port of the filtration system 15, the first end of the special scenario discharge pipe 04 is connected to the tap water outlet aa, the second end of the concentrated water discharge pipe 03 is connected to the second end of the special scenario discharge pipe 04, the second pressure sensor 23, the wastewater container 24 and the first wastewater solenoid valve 20 are sequentially arranged in the concentrated water discharge pipe 03, the tap water reflux check valve 22 is arranged in the special scenario discharge pipe 04, for preventing the concentrated water from flowing back to the tap water outlet, and the second wastewater solenoid valve 21 is arranged in the special scenario discharge pipe 04.

[0061] Among them, the first wastewater solenoid valve 20 is a solenoid valve used to control the on-off of the concentrated water discharge pipe 03. The second wastewater solenoid valve 21 is a solenoid valve used to control the on-off of the special scene discharge pipe 04. The concentrated water discharge pipe is a water pipe or a pipe. The special scene discharge pipe 04 is a water pipe or a pipe. The tap water reflux check valve 22 is a check valve used to prevent the concentrated water discharged from the filtration system 15 from flowing back to the tap water outlet aa. The second pressure sensor 23 is a pressure sensor used to detect the water pressure of the concentrated water discharge pipe 03. The wastewater container 24 can be a pressure water storage barrel. It should be noted that when the pressure water storage barrel meets the discharge conditions of the concentrated water, the concentrated water in the wastewater container can be mixed with tap water and discharged for special scenes such as watering flowers or flushing toilets.

[0062] The wastewater discharge method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be applied in Figure 3 In some optional implementations of this embodiment, in step S200, that is, according to the concentrated water discharge mode, controlling the filtration system to discharge the concentrated water includes the following steps S220 to S223:

[0063] S220: If the concentrated water discharge mode is a mixed discharge mode, during the process of the filtration system 15 preparing purified water, if the water flow signal is not detected, the concentrated water discharge mode is switched to a pure concentrated water discharge mode.

[0064] Among them, the pure concentrated water discharge mode is a mode in which the concentrated water generated by the filtration system is discharged through the concentrated water discharge pipe 03.

[0065] Among them, if the concentrated water discharge mode is a mixed discharge mode, during the process of the filtration system 15 preparing purified water, if the water flow signal is not detected, it means that the user has not turned on the tap, and the concentrated water discharge mode is switched to a pure concentrated water discharge mode.

[0066] S221: Determine whether a pure concentrated water discharge scenario determination instruction is obtained.

[0067] Among them, the concentrated water discharge scene determination instruction is an instruction for determining the pure concentrated water discharge scene. The concentrated water discharge scene determination instruction can be digital information, pattern information, or text information. Exemplarily, in an application scenario, the concentrated water discharge scene can be scenes such as watering flowers and flushing toilets. Optionally, concentrated water discharge scenes such as watering flowers and flushing toilets can be replaced by digital information, such as 4 represents watering flowers, and 5 represents flushing toilets. Furthermore, scenes such as watering flowers and flushing toilets can be further refined. For example, watering flowers includes target flower garden 1, target flower garden 2, target flower garden 3, etc. in a park, wherein 41 represents target flower garden 1, 42 represents target flower garden 2, and 43 represents target flower garden 3. Based on this, the concentrated water discharge instruction can be the above-mentioned 4, 5, 41, 42, and 43.

[0068] S222: If yes, determine the target concentrated water discharge scenario according to the instruction of the pure concentrated water discharge scenario, and based on the target concentrated water discharge scenario, control the concentrated water discharged by the filtration system 15 to enter the special scenario discharge pipe 04 corresponding to the target concentrated water discharge scenario.

[0069] Among them, if the pure concentrated water discharge scenario determination instruction is obtained, it means that the user has special scenario usage requirements.

[0070] Among them, the special scene discharge pipe 04 is used for special scene usage needs. The special scene usage demand can be to mix concentrated water with tap water for flushing toilets, watering flowers, etc. The special scene discharge pipe 04 can be a first end connected to the tap water inlet, and the second end connected to the second end of the concentrated water discharge pipe 03. The third end of the special scene discharge pipe 04 is the water outlet end of concentrated water and tap water. The water outlet end can be a flushing end for flushing toilets, a watering end for watering flowers, or an external water storage bucket. The water storage bucket can be used to store the concentrated water discharged by the filtration system 15 when the user has no special scene usage needs, and no water flow signal is detected, and the water pressure of the concentrated water discharge pipe is greater than the preset pressure threshold. It is used for emergency use, which can avoid the concentrated water from being directly discharged into the sewer, thereby greatly reducing the discharge of concentrated water, improving the utilization rate of concentrated water, and reducing the waste of water resources.

[0071] S223: If not, determine whether the water pressure of the concentrated water discharge pipe 03 is less than the preset pressure threshold. If the water pressure of the concentrated water discharge pipe 03 is less than the preset pressure threshold, control the concentrated water discharged by the filtration system to enter the wastewater container.

[0072] Among them, if the water pressure of the concentrated water discharge pipe is less than the preset pressure threshold, it means that the wastewater storage space of the wastewater container has not reached the storage upper limit of the wastewater container; if the water pressure of the concentrated water discharge pipe is greater than or equal to the preset pressure threshold, it means that the wastewater storage space of the wastewater container has reached the storage upper limit of the wastewater container.

[0073] In one scenario, if the pure concentrated water discharge scenario determination instruction is not obtained, it means that the user has no special scenario usage requirements, and no water flow signal is detected, indicating that the user has no need for concentrated water at this time, so the first waste water solenoid valve 20 is controlled to open and the first waste water solenoid valve 21 is controlled to close, so as to store the concentrated water discharged from the filtration system 15 in an external water storage tank.

[0074] In this embodiment, by judging that the concentrated water discharge mode is a mixed discharge mode, if the water flow signal is not detected during the process of the filtration system 15 preparing purified water, the concentrated water discharge mode is switched to a pure concentrated water discharge mode, thereby improving the intelligence of the water purifier. By judging whether a pure concentrated water discharge scene determination instruction is obtained, the target concentrated water discharge scene is determined. Based on this, the concentrated water discharged by the filtration system is controlled to enter the special scene discharge pipe corresponding to the target concentrated water discharge scene, thereby achieving full utilization of the concentrated water discharged by the filtration system 15 in a manner adapted to local conditions, that is, in combination with the current water demand of the user, and avoiding the concentrated water from being directly discharged into the sewer, thereby greatly reducing the discharge of concentrated water, improving the utilization rate of concentrated water, and reducing the waste of water resources.

[0075] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of an application environment of a wastewater discharge method in another embodiment is provided, such as Figure 4 As shown, the water purifier includes a clean water return pipe 05, a reflux check valve 30 and a reflux solenoid valve 31; the first end of the clean water return pipe 05 is connected to the first end of the boost pump 13, and the second end of the clean water return pipe 05 is connected to the clean water container 12; the reflux solenoid valve 31 and the reflux check valve 30 are arranged on the clean water return pipe 05 in sequence.

[0076] The clean water return pipe 05 may be a water pipe or a pipeline. The reflux check valve 30 may be a check valve to prevent the clean water at the water inlet end of the booster pump 14 from flowing back through the clean water return pipe 05. The reflux solenoid valve 31 is a solenoid valve for controlling the on-off of the clean water return pipe 05.

[0077] The wastewater discharge method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be applied in Figure 4 In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the wastewater discharge method further includes the following steps S300 to 330:

[0078] S300: When the filtration system 15 prepares purified water and a water flow signal is detected and the water pressure in the pipeline where the purified water container is located is detected to be greater than a preset water outlet pressure, a flushing instruction is received.

[0079] The flushing instruction is an instruction to flush the filter system 15. Specifically, when the flushing instruction is received, the water inlet solenoid valve 13 is controlled to be closed and the return solenoid valve 31 is opened, so that the clean water flows back to the water inlet end of the booster pump 14 through the clean water return pipe 05 for boosting, and then serves as the water inlet source of the filter system 15.

[0080] Among them, when the water pressure of the pipeline where the water purification container is located is greater than the preset water outlet pressure, it means that the purified water in the water purification container meets the requirements of purified water flushing, that is, the purified water in the water purification container can be returned to the first end of the booster pump through the purified water return pipe for boosting, and then used as the water source of the filtration system. When the water pressure of the pipeline where the water purification container is located is less than the preset water outlet pressure, it means that the purified water in the water purification container does not meet the requirements of purified water flushing. That is, the preset water outlet pressure is used to determine whether the purified water in the water purification container meets the requirements of purified water flushing.

[0081] S310: In response to the flushing instruction, the water inlet solenoid valve 13 is controlled to be closed and the return solenoid valve 31 is controlled to be opened.

[0082] S320: Control the filter system 15 to perform cyclic flushing and record the number of flushing times of the filter system, wherein, during the cyclic flushing process, the clean water in the clean water container 12 and the clean water generated by the filter system 15 flow back to the first end of the booster pump 14 through the clean water return pipe 05, so that the booster pump 14 pressurizes the returned clean water and then flushes the filter system 15, and the flushing waste water discharged from the filter system 15 enters the tap water discharge pipe 01.

[0083] Specifically, when the water flow signal is detected, it means that the tap is turned on, and the flushing waste water discharged by the filtration system 15 can enter the tap water drainage pipe 01 and mix with the tap water before being discharged through the tap at the end of the tap water drainage pipe 01.

[0084] In an optional embodiment, when the filtration system 15 prepares clean water and no water flow signal is detected, a flushing instruction is received, and in response to the flushing instruction, the water inlet solenoid valve 13 is controlled to be closed and the return solenoid valve 31 is controlled to be opened, so as to control the filtration system to be flushed. At the same time, the flushing waste water discharged by the filtration system 15 can be controlled to be discharged into the waste water container 24, or the flushing waste water discharged by the filtration system 15 can be controlled to be discharged into the special scenario discharge pipe 04 to mix with tap water and then be discharged through the third end of the special scenario discharge pipe 04.

[0085] S330: When the flushing times reach the preset times, the boost pump 14 is controlled to be closed, the filter system 15 is controlled to be closed, and the reflux solenoid valve 31 is controlled to be closed.

[0086] Specifically, the filter system 15 is controlled to perform cyclic flushing, and the number of flushing times of the filter system during the cyclic flushing process is recorded, until the number of flushing times reaches the preset number, the booster pump 14 is controlled to be turned off, the filter system 15 is turned off, and the reflux solenoid valve 31 is controlled to be turned off, so that the filter system 15 stops preparing clean water.

[0087] In this embodiment, by using clean water to flush the filter system 15, the salt concentration on the surface of the reverse osmosis filter membrane in the filter system 15 can be reduced, and the clogging of the reverse osmosis filter membrane due to scaling can be slowed down, thereby extending the service life of the filter system 15. The flushing wastewater generated each time the filter system 15 is flushed is discharged into the tap water discharge pipe 01 and mixed with tap water before being discharged, thereby avoiding the concentrated water from being directly discharged into the sewer, thereby greatly reducing the discharge of concentrated water, improving the utilization rate of concentrated water, and reducing the waste of water resources.

[0091] S110: In response to the purified water preparation signal, the latest emptying time of the purified water container 12 is obtained.

[0092] Among them, the clean water preparation signal may include the clean water preparation time of the filtration system. Optionally, the clean water preparation time may be the time when the filtration system 15 is started. The latest emptying time is the latest time to empty the clean water in the clean water container 12. Exemplarily, assuming that the clean water preparation time is 14:47 on August 2, 2023, it means that the filtration system 15 is started at 14:47 on August 2, 2023. The clean water emptying time in the water purifier closest to 14:47 on August 2, 2023 is 14:47 on July 29, 2023, and the latest emptying time is 14:47 on July 29, 2023.

[0093] S111: Calculate the time difference between the purified water preparation time in the purified water preparation signal and the latest emptying time.

[0094] S112: If the time difference is greater than the preset time threshold, the first clean water discharge solenoid valve 40 is controlled to open so that the clean water in the clean water container is discharged through the clean water discharge pipe until the water pressure in the pipe where the clean water container 12 is located is less than the preset water pressure, and the first clean water discharge solenoid valve 40 is controlled to close.

[0095] Exemplarily, assuming that the clean water preparation time is 14:47 on August 2, 2023, the latest emptying time is 14:47 on July 29, 2023, and the preset time threshold is 3 days, then the time difference is 4 days, that is, the time difference is greater than the preset time threshold, and the first clean water discharge solenoid valve 40 is controlled to open so that the clean water in the clean water container 12 is discharged through the clean water discharge pipe 06 until the water pressure in the pipe where the clean water container 12 is located is less than the preset water pressure, that is, the clean water in the clean water container 12 is emptied, and the first clean water discharge solenoid valve 40 is controlled to close.

[0096] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of an application environment of a wastewater discharge method in another embodiment is provided, such as Figure 6 As shown, the water purifier further includes a second clean water discharge solenoid valve 50 and a water flow sensor 51.

[0097] The water flow sensor is used to detect and accumulate the flow rate of the clean water flowing out of the filter system 15 . The second clean water discharge solenoid valve 50 is a solenoid valve used to control the clean water generated by the filter system 15 to be discharged through the clean water discharge pipe 06 .

[0098] The wastewater discharge method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be applied in Figure 6In the application environment shown. In some optional implementations of this embodiment, after step S112, that is, if the time difference is greater than the preset time threshold, the first clean water discharge solenoid valve 40 is controlled to open, so that the clean water in the clean water container is discharged through the clean water discharge pipe until the water pressure in the pipe where the clean water is located is less than the preset water pressure. After the first clean water discharge solenoid valve 40 is controlled to be closed, the wastewater emptying method further includes the following steps S1120 to S1122:

[0099] S1120: During the process of the filtration system preparing the clean water, the flow rate of the clean water prepared by the filtration system 15 is accumulated through the water flow sensor 50 to obtain the clean water flow rate.

[0100] S1122: If the purified water flow rate reaches the rated water flow rate, a purified water quality reminder signal is generated according to the purified water flow rate.

[0101] The purified water quality reminder signal may be a signal indicating that the purified water quality may not be suitable for drinking, and reminding the user to replace the reverse osmosis filter element membrane in the filtration system 15. The rated water flow rate may be the amount of purified water prepared as specified by the filtration system 15. When the purified water flow rate reaches the rated water flow rate, it means that the reverse osmosis filter element membrane in the filtration system 15 needs to be replaced, and the purified water prepared at this time may not be suitable for drinking. Based on this, a purified water quality reminder signal is generated according to the purified water flow rate to remind the user to replace the reverse osmosis filter element in the filtration system 15.

[0102] S1123: In response to the purified water quality reminder signal, the water inlet solenoid valve 13, the boost pump 14 and the filtration system 15 are controlled to be closed, so that the filtration system 15 stops preparing the purified water, and the second purified water discharge solenoid valve 50 is controlled to be closed and the first purified water discharge solenoid valve 40 is controlled to be opened, so that the purified water prepared by the filtration system is discharged into the concentrated water discharge pipe 03.

[0103] It should be particularly noted that, in response to the purified water quality reminder signal, the water inlet solenoid valve 13, the boost pump 14 and the filtration system 15 are controlled to be closed, so that the filtration system 15 stops preparing the purified water. There is a certain time difference in the process of the filtration system 15 stopping preparing the purified water. During this time difference, the purified water prepared by the filtration system 15 may not be suitable for drinking. Based on this, the second purified water discharge solenoid valve 50 is controlled to be closed and the first purified water discharge solenoid valve 40 is controlled to be opened, so that the purified water prepared by the filtration system is discharged into the concentrated water discharge pipe 03.

[0104] In this embodiment, by judging whether the clean water flow rate reaches the rated water flow rate, a clean water quality reminder signal is generated according to the clean water flow rate. In response to the clean water quality reminder signal, the water inlet solenoid valve 13, the boost pump 14 and the filtration system 15 are controlled to be closed, so that the filtration system 15 stops preparing the clean water. There is a certain time difference in the process of the filtration system 15 stopping preparing the clean water. During this time difference, the clean water prepared by the filtration system 15 may not be suitable for drinking. Based on this, the second clean water discharge solenoid valve 50 is controlled to be closed and the first clean water discharge solenoid valve 40 is controlled to be opened, so that the clean water prepared by the filtration system 15 is discharged to the concentrated water discharge pipe 03. On the one hand, the drinking safety of the clean water can be further improved, and on the other hand, the clean water that does not meet the drinking water requirements can be discharged to the concentrated water discharge pipe 03 in time.
