Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water treatment, in particular to a mineralized water control system and a mineralized water control method. Background Art
[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve and their health awareness gradually increases, drinking water safety issues are increasingly receiving widespread attention. Among the many water purification devices, reverse osmosis filtration equipment has become the mainstream choice in the current market due to its high efficiency and thorough filtration capabilities. This equipment can effectively remove various impurities, heavy metals, bacteria and viruses in the water through multiple layers of filtration membranes to ensure the purity and safety of drinking water.
[0003] However, while filtering out harmful substances, reverse osmosis technology will inevitably filter out beneficial minerals in the water, such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and other trace elements that are essential to human health.

In order to make up for this deficiency of reverse osmosis filtration equipment and meet people's higher demand for healthy drinking water, mineralized water equipment came into being.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0070] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0071] Reference Figure 1, shows a schematic structural diagram of a mineralized water control system provided in an embodiment of the present invention, the mineralized water control system comprises a water pump 1, a mineralization bin 3, the mineralization bin 3 is provided with a water inlet, a water outlet, and a liquid level sensor 4; the water inlet is provided with a corresponding water inlet solenoid valve 2, the water outlet is provided with a corresponding water outlet solenoid valve 6; the water inlet solenoid valve 2 is connected to the water pump 1;
[0072] The water pump 1 is used to inject water into the water inlet of the mineralization bin 3 when the water inlet solenoid valve 2 is opened;
[0073] The mineralization bin 3 is used to close the water inlet solenoid valve 2 when the liquid level sensor 4 detects that the water in the mineralization bin 3 reaches a preset liquid level, and mineralize the water in the mineralization bin 3 for a preset mineralization time. After obtaining the mineralized water, the water outlet solenoid valve 6 is opened to discharge the mineralized water from the water outlet.
[0074] The embodiment of the present invention can be additionally provided with a mineralized water control system on the basis of the user's original water intake system. The mineralized water control system can be used to mineralize the water in the original water intake system, thereby providing the user with mineralized water with better taste and richer nutrition.
[0075] In the embodiment of the present invention, a water pump 1 can be provided. The water pump 1 can be a water pump 1 provided in the user's original water intake system, or a water pump 1 additionally provided in the mineralized water control system. The water pump 1 can be used to extract water for the user. In a specific implementation, the water pump 1 can be a self-priming pump, which can automatically remove the air in the pump body when it is started, without the need for additional water filling or the use of a bottom valve, thereby achieving rapid water absorption.
[0076] The water inlet and the water outlet of the mineralization bin 3 may be provided with electromagnetic valves. Specifically, the water inlet is provided with a corresponding water inlet electromagnetic valve 2, and the water outlet is provided with a corresponding water outlet electromagnetic valve 6. Thus, the water inlet control and the water outlet control of the mineralization bin 3 can be realized.
[0077] When the user needs to obtain mineralized water, the water inlet solenoid valve 2 can be opened to allow water to enter the mineralization bin 3. At the same time, the water pump 1 can be operated to extract water and inject water into the water inlet of the mineralization bin 3, so that water can flow into the mineralization bin 3.
[0078] A liquid level sensor 4 may be provided in the mineralization bin 3 , and the liquid level sensor 4 may be used to detect whether the water in the mineralization bin 3 is full.
[0079] In a specific implementation, the liquid level sensor 4 can be a float type liquid level sensor 4, a capacitive liquid level sensor 4, an ultrasonic liquid level sensor 4, a radar liquid level sensor 4, a photoelectric liquid level sensor 4, a pressure type liquid level sensor 4, etc., and the present invention does not limit this.
[0080] For example, when the liquid level sensor 4 is a float type liquid level sensor 4, it can sense the change of liquid level by floating up and down of the float. The float rises and falls with the liquid level, driving the internal switch or sensor, thereby outputting a liquid level signal. When the liquid level sensor 4 is a capacitive liquid level sensor 4, it can detect the liquid level by measuring the change of capacitance through the difference in dielectric constant between liquid and air. When the liquid level sensor 4 is an ultrasonic liquid level sensor 4, it can calculate the liquid level by emitting ultrasonic waves and measuring their reflection time. When the liquid level sensor 4 is a radar liquid level sensor 4, it can measure the liquid level by microwaves (radar waves). Microwaves are emitted from the sensor, reflected back after encountering the liquid surface, and the sensor calculates the liquid level based on the time difference. When the liquid level sensor 4 is a photoelectric liquid level sensor 4, it can detect the liquid level by infrared light or laser. When the liquid level reaches the sensing point, the light is absorbed or reflected by the liquid, and the sensor determines the liquid level accordingly. When the liquid level sensor 4 is a pressure type liquid level sensor 4, it can calculate the liquid level by measuring the pressure of the liquid on the bottom of the container. The higher the liquid level, the greater the pressure.
[0081] A detection liquid level may be set in advance for the liquid level sensor 4 , and the liquid level sensor 4 may be used to detect whether the current liquid level is at the corresponding detection liquid level.
[0082] When the liquid level sensor 4 can detect that the water in the mineralization bin 3 is full, there is no need to continue injecting water, and the water inlet solenoid valve 2 can be closed.
[0083] In a specific implementation, the mineralization chamber 3 can contact the pre-configured mineral solution or mineral particles with pure water by physical or chemical means, so that the minerals are gradually dissolved in the water, thereby achieving mineralization. The minerals can generally be calcium carbonate (CaCO3), magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), potassium chloride (KCl), etc., and the present invention does not limit this.
[0084] In order to keep the taste of the mineralized water obtained by the mineralization treatment in the mineralization chamber 3 consistent, the time for the water to stay in the mineralization chamber 3 for mineralization can be controlled. The mineralization time can be associated with the mineralization rate. The mineralization rate can refer to the speed at which minerals dissolve from mineralized materials (such as ores, mineral salts or mineral particles) into water.
[0085] Specifically, during the process of mineralizing water, the mineralization chamber 3 can keep the water at the liquid level corresponding to the liquid level sensor before mineralization. Therefore, it can be considered that the amount of water added during the mineralization process of the mineralization chamber 3 is basically the same. At this time, in order to keep the taste of the mineralized water consistent, the minerals dissolved in the water can be kept in the same amount as much as possible, so as to keep the mineral concentration in the water the same. Therefore, according to the mineralization rate, the time that the water needs to stay in the mineralization chamber 3 while keeping the same amount of mineral addition can be analyzed as the mineralization time.
[0086] Afterwards, when the water stays in the mineralization chamber 3 for the mineralization time, it can be considered that the amount of minerals dissolved in the water has met the requirement. At this time, in order to prevent the water from continuing to stay in the mineralization chamber 3, more minerals will be dissolved in the water, resulting in inconsistent taste of the mineralized water. The water outlet solenoid valve 6 can be opened to discharge the mineralized water from the water outlet. In this way, it is possible to provide users with mineralized water with a consistent taste.
[0087] In a specific implementation, a TDS probe 5 may be further provided in the mineralization chamber 3 to judge the mineralization degree of the water by the TDS probe 5 so as to determine whether the mineralization treatment of the water is completed.
[0088] The mineralized water control system provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a water pump 1, a mineralization bin 3, the mineralization bin 3 is provided with a water inlet, a water outlet, and a liquid level sensor 4; the water inlet is provided with a corresponding water inlet solenoid valve 2, and the water outlet is provided with a corresponding water outlet solenoid valve 6; the water inlet solenoid valve 2 is connected to the water pump 1; the water pump 1 is used to inject water into the water inlet of the mineralization bin 3 when the water inlet solenoid valve 2 is opened; the mineralization bin 3 is used to close the water inlet solenoid valve 2 when the liquid level sensor 4 detects that the water in the mineralization bin 3 reaches a preset liquid level, mineralize the water in the mineralization bin 3 for a preset mineralization time, and after obtaining the mineralized water, open the water outlet solenoid valve 6 to discharge the mineralized water from the water outlet. Thus, water can be uniformly processed in the mineralization bin 3 for a long time and then discharged from the mineralization bin 3, so as to avoid water staying in the mineralization bin 3 for a long time and causing the water to be continuously mineralized, so that the taste of the mineralized water can be kept uniform, providing users with mineralized water with uniform and good taste.
[0089] In an embodiment of the present invention, the mineralization duration is determined based on the current water temperature and a correlation between a preset duration and temperature.
[0090] Specifically, the mineralization rate, that is, the rate at which minerals dissolve in water, can be related to temperature. Generally speaking, an increase in temperature increases the kinetic energy of water molecules, causing them to move faster and collide with the surface of minerals more frequently. This increase in collision frequency accelerates the dissolution of minerals. At the same time, the solubility of most minerals increases with increasing temperature. For example, potassium chloride (KCl) and magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) are significantly more soluble at high temperatures than at low temperatures. As a result, the duration of mineralization can be adjusted accordingly when the temperature changes.
[0091] In order to quickly determine the mineralization time at different temperatures, the mineralization rate at different temperatures can be analyzed in advance, and the current appropriate mineralization time can be determined while keeping the amount of minerals dissolved in the water unchanged, and the correlation between the time and temperature can be established in advance. When the mineralization time needs to be determined, the current appropriate mineralization time can be quickly determined based on the current water temperature, so that the taste of the mineralized water can be kept consistent.
[0092] In one embodiment of the present invention, the mineralization bin 3 further includes mineralized material for mineralizing water, and the correlation between the duration and the temperature is determined based on the degree of consumption of the mineralized material.
[0093] In a specific implementation, a mineralized material for mineralizing water may be provided in the mineralization bin 3, and the mineralized material may be dissolved in water, thereby releasing minerals to achieve the mineralization of water. Different consumption levels of the mineralized material may cause changes in the contact area between the mineralized material and water, which may also affect the mineralization rate. To this end, in the process of determining the correlation between the duration and the temperature, the consumption level of the mineralized material may be further considered. When the consumption level of the mineralized material is greater, the mineralization rate may be reduced at the same water temperature. In order to keep the amount of minerals in the water unchanged, the mineralization time needs to be increased.
[0094] Thus, the correlation between time and temperature can be updated according to the degree of consumption of the mineralized material to keep the taste of the mineralized water consistent.
[0095] In one embodiment of the present invention, the mineralized water control system further comprises a water tank 8 connected to the water outlet solenoid valve 6;
[0096] In a specific implementation, the water tank 8 is used to receive the mineralized water discharged from the mineralization bin 3 .
[0097] The user may not need to obtain mineralized water temporarily, so a water tank 8 may be provided, and the water tank 8 may be connected to the water outlet solenoid valve 6. Therefore, when the water outlet solenoid valve 6 is opened, the mineralized water discharged from the mineralization bin 3 may be received by the water tank 8, so as to realize temporary storage of the mineralized water, and avoid the mineralized water staying in the mineralization bin 3 for a long time, resulting in inconsistent taste of the mineralized water.
[0098] In one embodiment of the present invention, the water tank 8 is further provided with a temperature detection device 11;
[0099] The temperature detection device 11 is used to detect the current water temperature.
[0100] In a specific implementation, a temperature detection device 11 may be provided in the water tank 8 , and the temperature detection device 11 may be used to detect the current water temperature, so as to provide a basis for determining the mineralization time required for mineralizing the water in the mineralization chamber 3 .
[0101] Specifically, in order to avoid the water staying in the mineralization chamber 3 for a long time and causing the mineralized water to have an inconsistent taste, the mineralization chamber 3 usually does not retain water after completing the mineralization treatment of the water. In some cases, such as when the temperature is high and the mineralized material is basically not consumed, the mineralization time may be short. At this time, if the temperature detection device 11 is set in the mineralization chamber 3, the temperature may not be determined yet, and the water may stay in the mineralization chamber 3 for a period of time exceeding the mineralization time.
[0102] As for the water tank 8, in order to provide the user with mineralized water in real time and avoid the user waiting for a long time, the mineralized water can be stored in the water tank 8 according to actual needs. Therefore, by detecting the water temperature of the mineralized water in the water tank 8, the current water temperature can be determined in advance before the water is mineralized, and the mineralization time can be further determined, so that the taste of the mineralized water can be better maintained.
[0103] In one embodiment of the present invention, the water tank 8 is further provided with a low liquid level sensor 10 and / or a high liquid level sensor 9;
[0104] The high liquid level sensor 9 is used to control the water outlet solenoid valve 6 to close when it is detected that the mineral water in the water tank 8 reaches the liquid level corresponding to the high liquid level sensor 9; and / or,
[0105] The low liquid level sensor 10 is used to control the water inlet solenoid valve 2 to open when it is detected that the mineral water in the water tank 8 has not reached the liquid level corresponding to the low liquid level sensor 10 .
[0106] In the embodiment of the present invention, a low liquid level sensor 10 and / or a high liquid level sensor 9 may be provided in the water tank 8 .
[0107] The high liquid level sensor 9 can be arranged at a higher position in the water tank 8, and can be used to detect whether the mineralized water in the water tank 8 is full. The low liquid level sensor 10 can be used to detect whether the water tank 8 lacks mineralized water.
[0108] In a specific implementation, the low liquid level sensor 10 and / or the high liquid level sensor 9 can be a float type liquid level sensor 4, a capacitive liquid level sensor 4, an ultrasonic liquid level sensor 4, a radar liquid level sensor 4, a photoelectric liquid level sensor 4, a pressure type liquid level sensor 4, etc., and the present invention does not limit this. A detection liquid level can be set in advance for the low liquid level sensor 10 and / or the high liquid level sensor 9, and the low liquid level sensor 10 and / or the high liquid level sensor 9 can be used to detect whether the current liquid level is at the corresponding detection liquid level.
[0109] When the mineralized water in the water tank 8 reaches the liquid level corresponding to the high liquid level sensor 9, it can be considered that the water tank 8 is full at this time. In order to prevent the mineralized water in the water tank 8 from overflowing, the water outlet solenoid valve 6 can be set to be closed. At this time, even if there is still water in the mineralization bin 3, the water can be stopped from being added to the water tank 8.
[0110] When the mineralized water in the water tank 8 is at the liquid level corresponding to the low liquid level sensor 10, it can be considered that the water tank 8 is in a water shortage state. At this time, in order to ensure that the user can drink the mineralized water in time, the water inlet solenoid valve 2 can be opened to allow water to enter the mineralization tank 3 for the production of mineralized water.
[0111] In one embodiment of the present invention, the water inlet solenoid valve 2 is a two-way solenoid valve, the water inlet solenoid valve 2 is also connected to the user's water intake 18, and the water outlet of the mineralization bin 3 is also connected to the water pump 1;
[0112] The water inlet solenoid valve 2 is also used to close the water inlet of the mineralization bin 3 and connect to the user water intake 18;
[0113] The water pump 1 is also used to obtain the mineralized water from the water outlet of the mineralization bin 3 and transport it to the user water intake 18 through the water inlet solenoid valve 2 .
[0114] Specifically, the water inlet solenoid valve 2 can also be a two-way solenoid valve, and the water inlet solenoid valve 2 is also connected to the user water intake 18. Therefore, in addition to providing the water pumped by the water pump 1 to the mineralization bin 3 for water mineralization, when the user does not need to obtain mineralized water, the water inlet solenoid valve 2 can be controlled to close the passage to the mineralization bin 3 and open the passage to the user water intake 18 to directly provide ordinary water to the user.
[0115] At the same time, the water outlet of the mineralization bin 3 is also connected to the water pump 1. Therefore, when the user needs to drink mineralized water, the water outlet solenoid valve 6 can be opened, and the passage from the water inlet solenoid valve 2 to the mineralization bin 3 can be closed, and the passage to the user water inlet 18 can be opened, and the mineralized water can be extracted from the water outlet of the mineralization bin 3 by the water pump 1, and the mineralized water can be delivered to the user water inlet 18 through the water inlet solenoid valve 2, thereby delivering mineralized water to the user.
[0116] In a specific implementation, a water tank 8 is usually provided between the water pump 1 and the water outlet of the mineralization bin 3. In this case, when the user needs to drink mineralized water, the passage leading to the mineralization bin 3 through the water inlet solenoid valve 2 can be closed, and the passage to the user's water intake 18 can be opened. Mineralized water is extracted from the water tank 8 by the water pump 1, and the mineralized water is delivered to the user's water intake 18 through the water inlet solenoid valve 2, thereby delivering mineralized water to the user.
[0117] In one embodiment of the present invention, the mineralized water control system further comprises a water intake regulating valve 14 for connecting the system water inlet 17 and the water pump 1;
[0118] The water pump 1 is used to obtain water through the system water inlet 17 of the water intake adjustment valve 14.
[0119] Specifically, the water pump 1 can obtain water from a system water inlet 17, and a water intake regulating valve 14 can be provided between the water pump 1 and the system water inlet 17. By adjusting the water intake regulating valve 14, it can be controlled whether the water pump 1 is allowed to obtain water from the system water inlet 17.
[0120] In one embodiment of the present invention, the water intake regulating valve 14 is also used to connect the water outlet of the mineralization bin 3 and the water pump 1;
[0121] The water intake regulating valve 14 is used to control the water pump 1 to obtain the mineralized water from the water outlet of the mineralization bin 3 and / or to obtain water from the system water inlet 17 .
[0122] In a specific implementation, the water intake adjustment valve 14 is also used to connect the water outlet of the mineralization bin 3 and the water pump 1. That is, through the water intake adjustment valve 14, the water pump 1 can be connected to the system water inlet 17 and the water outlet of the mineralization bin 3 at the same time. In the case where the user needs to directly obtain ordinary water, the water intake adjustment valve 14 can close the passage from the water outlet of the mineralization bin 3 to the water pump 1, and allow the passage from the system water inlet 17 to the water pump 1 to be opened, so that the water pump 1 can extract water, and in the case where the user needs to obtain mineralized water, the water intake adjustment valve 14 can open the passage from the water outlet of the mineralization bin 3 to the water pump 1, and close the passage from the system water inlet 17 to the water pump 1, so that the water pump 1 can extract mineralized water. In this way, it is possible to provide users with different forms of water according to their preferences.
[0123] Optionally, the water intake adjustment valve 14 can also simultaneously open the passage from the water outlet of the mineralization bin 3 to the water pump 1 and the passage from the system water inlet 17 to the water pump 1, so that the user can mix the mineralized water and water by himself to obtain water that meets his own preferences.
[0124] Optionally, a system water inlet valve 15 may be provided on the system water inlet 17 , and the system water inlet valve 15 is used to control whether water is allowed to be obtained from the system water inlet 17 .
[0125] In one embodiment of the present invention, a flow meter 12 is further provided between the water intake adjustment valve 14 and the water outlet of the mineralization bin 3;
[0126] The flow meter 12 is used to detect the flow rate of the mineralized water obtained from the water outlet of the mineralization bin 3 .
[0127] In a specific implementation, a flow meter 12 may be provided between the water intake regulating valve 14 and the water outlet of the mineralization bin 3 to monitor the flow of the mineralized water and to monitor whether the mineralized water is normally provided to the user.
[0128] Specifically, in the case where a water tank 8 is provided, a flow meter 12 may be provided between the water tank 8 and the water intake adjustment valve 14 to monitor the flow rate of the mineralized water.
[0129] Optionally, a first check valve 13 may be provided between the flow meter 12 and the water intake adjustment valve 14 to prevent ordinary water from directly flowing back into the water tank 8 or the mineralization bin 3, thereby affecting the taste of the mineralized water. At the same time, a second check valve 16 may be provided between the water pump 1 and the water intake solenoid valve 2 to prevent the water in the mineralization bin 3 from being sucked back by the water pump 1.
[0130] In one embodiment of the present invention, the mineralization bin 3 is further provided with a drain port 7;
[0131] The drain port 7 is used to discharge water and impurities in the mineralization bin 3 .
[0132] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the mineralization bin 3 performs mineralization treatment on water for a long time, a certain amount of impurities may be generated at the bottom of the mineralization bin 3. In order to prevent the impurities from affecting the taste of the mineralized water, a drain port 7 may be provided at the bottom of the mineralization bin 3, and the water in the mineralization bin 3 may be discharged from the drain port 7, so that the impurities at the bottom may be discharged together to maintain the taste of the mineralized water.
[0133] At the same time, when the water tank 8 cannot accommodate more mineralized water, the excess mineralized water can be discharged through the drain port 7 to avoid affecting the normal operation of the system.
[0134] Reference Figure 2 , shows a flow chart of the steps of a mineralized water control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, which is applied to a mineralized water control system, wherein the mineralized water control system includes a water pump, a mineralization bin, and the mineralization bin is provided with a water inlet, a water outlet, and a liquid level sensor; the water inlet is provided with a corresponding water inlet solenoid valve, and the water outlet is provided with a corresponding water outlet solenoid valve; the water inlet solenoid valve is connected to the water pump. The method may specifically include the following steps:
[0135] Step 201, when the water inlet solenoid valve is turned on, the water pump injects water into the water inlet of the mineralization bin;
[0136] Step 202, when the liquid level sensor detects that the water in the mineralization bin has reached a preset liquid level, closing the water inlet solenoid valve;
[0137] Step 203, mineralizing the water in the mineralization bin for a preset mineralization time to obtain mineralized water;
[0138] Step 204, opening the water outlet solenoid valve to discharge the mineralized water from the water outlet.
[0139] The water pump is used to inject water into the water inlet of the mineralization bin when the water inlet solenoid valve is turned on;
[0140] The mineralization bin is used to close the water inlet solenoid valve when the liquid level sensor detects that the water in the mineralization bin has reached a preset liquid level, and mineralize the water in the mineralization bin for a preset mineralization time. After obtaining the mineralized water, the water outlet solenoid valve is opened to discharge the mineralized water from the water outlet.
[0141] The embodiment of the present invention can be additionally provided with a mineralized water control system on the basis of the user's original water intake system. The mineralized water control system can be used to mineralize the water in the original water intake system, thereby providing the user with mineralized water with better taste and richer nutrition.
[0142] In the embodiment of the present invention, a water pump can be provided, which can be a water pump provided by the user's original water intake system, or a water pump additionally provided by the mineralized water control system, and the water pump can be used to extract water for the user. In a specific implementation, the water pump can be a self-priming pump, which can automatically remove the air in the pump body when it is started, without the need for additional water filling or the use of a bottom valve, thereby achieving rapid water absorption.
[0143] The water inlet and the water outlet of the mineralization bin may be provided with solenoid valves. Specifically, the water inlet is provided with a corresponding water inlet solenoid valve, and the water outlet is provided with a corresponding water outlet solenoid valve. Thus, water inlet control and water outlet control of the mineralization bin can be achieved.
[0144] When the user needs to obtain mineralized water, the water inlet solenoid valve can be opened to allow water to enter the mineralization bin. At the same time, the water pump can be operated to extract water and inject water into the water inlet of the mineralization bin, so that water can flow into the mineralization bin.
[0145] A liquid level sensor may be provided in the mineralization bin, and the liquid level sensor may be used to detect whether the water in the mineralization bin has been filled.
[0146] In a specific implementation, the liquid level sensor can be a float type liquid level sensor, a capacitive liquid level sensor, an ultrasonic liquid level sensor, a radar liquid level sensor, a photoelectric liquid level sensor, a pressure type liquid level sensor, etc., and the present invention does not impose any limitation on this.
[0147] For example, in the case where the liquid level sensor is a float type liquid level sensor, it can sense the change of liquid level by floating up and down. The float rises and falls with the liquid level, driving the internal switch or sensor, thereby outputting a liquid level signal. In the case where the liquid level sensor is a capacitive liquid level sensor, it can detect the liquid level by measuring the change of capacitance through the difference in dielectric constant between liquid and air. In the case where the liquid level sensor is an ultrasonic liquid level sensor, it can calculate the liquid level by emitting ultrasonic waves and measuring their reflection time. In the case where the liquid level sensor is a radar liquid level sensor, it can measure the liquid level through microwaves (radar waves). Microwaves are emitted from the sensor and reflected back after encountering the liquid surface. The sensor calculates the liquid level based on the time difference. In the case where the liquid level sensor is a photoelectric liquid level sensor, it can detect the liquid level through infrared light or laser. When the liquid level reaches the sensing point, the light is absorbed or reflected by the liquid, and the sensor determines the liquid level based on this. In the case where the liquid level sensor is a pressure type liquid level sensor, it can calculate the liquid level by measuring the pressure of the liquid on the bottom of the container. The higher the liquid level, the greater the pressure.
[0148] A detection liquid level may be set in advance for the liquid level sensor, and the liquid level sensor may be used to detect whether the current liquid level is at the corresponding detection liquid level.
[0149] When the liquid level sensor can detect that the water in the mineralization tank is full, there is no need to continue injecting water, and the water inlet solenoid valve can be closed.
[0150] In a specific implementation, the mineralization chamber can contact the pre-configured mineral solution or mineral particles with pure water through physical or chemical means, so that the minerals are gradually dissolved into the water, thereby achieving mineralization. The minerals can generally be calcium carbonate (CaCO3), magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), potassium chloride (KCl), etc., and the present invention does not limit this.
[0151] In order to maintain a consistent taste of the mineralized water obtained by the mineralization treatment in the mineralization tank, the length of time the water stays in the mineralization tank for mineralization can be controlled. The mineralization length can be associated with the mineralization rate. The mineralization rate can refer to the speed at which minerals dissolve from mineralized materials (such as ores, mineral salts, or mineral particles) into water.
[0152] Specifically, during the process of mineralizing water, the mineralization tank can keep the water at the liquid level corresponding to the liquid level sensor before mineralization. Therefore, it can be considered that the amount of water added during the mineralization process of the mineralization tank is basically the same. At this time, in order to maintain the consistent taste of the mineralized water, the minerals dissolved in the water can be kept as much as possible in the same amount, so as to keep the mineral concentration in the water the same. Therefore, according to the mineralization rate, the length of time that the water needs to stay in the mineralization tank while keeping the same amount of mineral addition can be analyzed as the mineralization time.
[0153] Afterwards, when the water stays in the mineralization tank for the mineralization time, it can be considered that the amount of minerals dissolved in the water has met the requirement. At this time, in order to prevent the water from staying in the mineralization tank, more minerals will be dissolved in the water, resulting in inconsistent taste of the mineralized water. The water outlet solenoid valve can be opened to discharge the mineralized water from the outlet. In this way, it is possible to provide users with mineralized water with a consistent taste.
[0154] According to the mineralized water control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the mineralized water control system includes a water pump, a mineralization bin, the mineralization bin is provided with a water inlet, a water outlet, and a liquid level sensor; the water inlet is provided with a corresponding water inlet solenoid valve, and the water outlet is provided with a corresponding water outlet solenoid valve; the water inlet solenoid valve is connected to the water pump; when the water inlet solenoid valve is opened, the water pump injects water into the water inlet of the mineralization bin; when the liquid level sensor detects that the water in the mineralization bin reaches a preset liquid level, the water inlet solenoid valve is closed; the water in the mineralization bin is mineralized for a preset mineralization time to obtain mineralized water; the water outlet solenoid valve is opened to discharge the mineralized water from the water outlet. Thus, the water can be uniformly processed in the mineralization bin for a mineralization time, that is, discharged from the mineralization bin, so as to avoid the water staying in the mineralization bin for a long time and causing the water to be continuously mineralized, so that the taste of the mineralized water can be kept uniform, and the user is provided with mineralized water with uniform taste and good taste.
[0155] In one embodiment of the present invention, the method further comprises:
[0156] S11, determining the mineralization duration based on the current water temperature and a correlation between a preset duration and temperature.
[0157] Specifically, the mineralization rate, that is, the rate at which minerals dissolve in water, can be related to temperature. Generally speaking, an increase in temperature increases the kinetic energy of water molecules, causing them to move faster and collide with the surface of minerals more frequently. This increase in collision frequency accelerates the dissolution of minerals. At the same time, the solubility of most minerals increases with increasing temperature. For example, potassium chloride (KCl) and magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) are significantly more soluble at high temperatures than at low temperatures. As a result, the duration of mineralization can be adjusted accordingly when the temperature changes.
[0158] In order to quickly determine the mineralization time at different temperatures, the mineralization rate at different temperatures can be analyzed in advance, and the current appropriate mineralization time can be determined while keeping the amount of minerals dissolved in the water unchanged, and the correlation between the time and temperature can be established in advance. When the mineralization time needs to be determined, the current appropriate mineralization time can be quickly determined based on the current water temperature, so that the taste of the mineralized water can be kept consistent.
[0159] In one embodiment of the present invention, the mineralization bin further comprises mineralized material for mineralizing water;
[0160] The method further comprises:
[0161] S21, determining the correlation between the duration and the temperature based on the consumption degree of the mineralized material.
[0162] In a specific implementation, a mineralizing material for mineralizing water may be provided in the mineralizing bin, and the mineralizing material may dissolve in water, thereby releasing minerals and realizing the mineralization of water. Different consumption levels of the mineralizing material may cause changes in the contact area between the mineralizing material and water, which may also affect the mineralization rate. To this end, in the process of determining the correlation between the duration and the temperature, the consumption level of the mineralizing material may be further considered. When the consumption level of the mineralizing material is greater, the mineralization rate may be reduced at the same water temperature. In order to keep the amount of minerals in the water unchanged, the mineralization time needs to be increased.
[0163] Thus, the correlation between time and temperature can be updated according to the degree of consumption of the mineralized material to keep the taste of the mineralized water consistent.
[0164] In one embodiment of the present invention, the mineralized water control system further comprises a water tank connected to the water outlet solenoid valve;
[0165] The method further comprises:
[0166] S31, receiving the mineralized water discharged from the mineralization bin through the water tank.
[0167] The user may not need to obtain mineralized water temporarily, so a water tank can be provided, which can be connected to the water outlet solenoid valve. Thus, when the water outlet solenoid valve is opened, the mineralized water discharged from the mineralization bin can be received by the water tank, so as to realize temporary storage of the mineralized water, and avoid the mineralized water staying in the mineralization bin for a long time, resulting in inconsistent taste of the mineralized water.
[0168] In one embodiment of the present invention, the water tank is further provided with a temperature detection device;
[0169] The method further comprises:
[0170] S41, using the temperature detection device to detect the current water temperature.
[0171] In a specific implementation, a temperature detection device may be provided in the water tank, and the temperature detection device may be used to detect the current water temperature, so as to provide a basis for determining the mineralization time required for mineralization treatment of water in the mineralization chamber.
[0172] Specifically, in order to avoid the water staying in the mineralization tank for a long time, which may lead to inconsistent taste of mineralized water, the mineralization tank usually does not retain water after completing the mineralization treatment of water. In some cases, such as when the temperature is high and the mineralized material is basically not consumed, the mineralization time may be short. At this time, if the temperature detection device is set in the mineralization tank, the temperature may not be determined yet, and the water may stay in the mineralization tank for a period of time exceeding the mineralization time.
[0173] As for the water tank, in order to provide mineralized water to users in real time and avoid users waiting for a long time, mineralized water can be stored in the water tank according to actual needs. Therefore, by detecting the water temperature of the mineralized water in the water tank, the current water temperature can be determined in advance before the water is mineralized, and the mineralization time can be further determined, so that the taste of the mineralized water can be better maintained.
[0174] In one embodiment of the present invention, the water tank is further provided with a low liquid level sensor and / or a high liquid level sensor;
[0175] The method further comprises:
[0176] S51, when it is detected that the mineralized water in the water tank reaches the liquid level corresponding to the high liquid level sensor, controlling the water outlet solenoid valve to close; and / or,
[0177] S52, when it is detected that the mineralized water in the water tank has not reached the liquid level corresponding to the low liquid level sensor, controlling the water inlet solenoid valve to open.
[0178] The high liquid level sensor can be arranged at a higher position in the water tank, and can be used to detect whether the water tank is full of mineral water. The low liquid level sensor can be used to detect whether there is a lack of mineral water in the water tank.
[0179] In a specific implementation, the low liquid level sensor and / or the high liquid level sensor may be a float type liquid level sensor, a capacitive liquid level sensor, an ultrasonic liquid level sensor, a radar liquid level sensor, a photoelectric liquid level sensor, a pressure type liquid level sensor, etc., and the present invention does not limit this. A detection liquid level may be set in advance for the low liquid level sensor and / or the high liquid level sensor, and the low liquid level sensor and / or the high liquid level sensor may be used to detect whether the current liquid level is at the corresponding detection liquid level.
[0180] When the mineralized water in the water tank reaches the liquid level corresponding to the high liquid level sensor, it can be considered that the water tank is full at this time. In order to prevent the mineralized water in the water tank from overflowing, the water outlet solenoid valve can be set to be closed. At this time, even if there is still water in the mineralization bin, adding water to the water tank can be stopped.
[0181] When the mineral water in the water tank is at the liquid level corresponding to the low liquid level sensor, it can be considered that the water tank is in a water shortage state. At this time, in order to ensure that the user can drink the mineralized water in time, the water inlet solenoid valve can be opened to allow water to enter the mineralization bin for the production of mineralized water.
[0182] In one embodiment of the present invention, the water inlet solenoid valve is a two-way solenoid valve, the water inlet solenoid valve is also connected to the user's water intake, and the water outlet of the mineralization bin is also connected to the water pump;
[0183] The method further comprises:
[0184] S61, closing the water inlet of the mineralization bin through the water inlet solenoid valve and connecting the water inlet of the user;
[0185] S62, using the water pump to obtain the mineralized water from the water outlet of the mineralization bin, and transporting it to the user's water intake through the water inlet solenoid valve.
[0186] Specifically, the water inlet solenoid valve can also be a two-way solenoid valve, and the water inlet solenoid valve is also connected to the user's water intake. Therefore, in addition to providing the water pumped by the water pump to the mineralization bin for water mineralization, when the user does not need to obtain mineralized water, the water inlet solenoid valve can be controlled to close the passage to the mineralization bin and open the passage to the user's water intake to directly provide ordinary water to the user.
[0187] At the same time, the water outlet of the mineralization bin is also connected to the water pump. Therefore, when the user needs to drink mineralized water, the water outlet solenoid valve can be opened, and the passage from the water inlet solenoid valve to the mineralization bin can be closed, and the passage to the user's water inlet can be opened, and the mineralized water can be extracted from the water outlet of the mineralization bin by the water pump, and the mineralized water can be delivered to the user's water inlet through the water inlet solenoid valve, thereby delivering mineralized water to the user.
[0188] In a specific implementation, a water tank is usually provided between the water pump and the water outlet of the mineralization bin. In this case, when the user needs to drink mineralized water, the passage leading to the mineralization bin through the water inlet solenoid valve can be closed, and the passage to the user's water intake can be opened. The mineralized water is drawn from the water tank by the water pump, and the mineralized water is delivered to the user's water intake through the water inlet solenoid valve, thereby delivering mineralized water to the user.

By adjusting the water intake regulating valve, it can be controlled whether the water pump is allowed to obtain water from the system water inlet.
[0193] In one embodiment of the present invention, the water intake regulating valve is also used to connect the water outlet of the mineralization bin and the water pump;
[0194] The method further comprises:
[0195] S81, controlling the water pump through the water intake regulating valve to obtain the mineralized water from the water outlet of the mineralization bin and / or obtain water from the water inlet of the system.
[0196] In a specific implementation, the water intake adjustment valve is also used to connect the mineralization bin water outlet and the water pump. That is, through the water intake adjustment valve, the water pump can be connected to the system water inlet and the mineralization bin water outlet at the same time. In the case where the user needs to directly obtain ordinary water, the water intake adjustment valve can close the passage from the mineralization bin water outlet to the water pump, and allow the passage from the system water inlet to the water pump to be opened, so that the water pump can extract water, and in the case where the user needs to obtain mineralized water, the water intake adjustment valve can open the passage from the mineralization bin water outlet to the water pump, and close the passage from the system water inlet to the water pump, so that the water pump can extract mineralized water. In this way, it is possible to provide users with different forms of water according to their preferences.
[0197] Optionally, the water intake adjustment valve can also simultaneously open the passage from the mineralization tank outlet to the water pump and the passage from the system water inlet to the water pump, so that users can mix mineralized water and water by themselves to obtain water that meets their own preferences.
[0198] In one embodiment of the present invention, a flow meter is further provided between the water intake regulating valve and the water outlet of the mineralization bin;
[0199] The method further comprises:
[0200] S91, detecting the flow rate of the mineralized water obtained from the water outlet of the mineralization bin through the flow meter.
[0201] In a specific implementation, a flow meter may be provided between the water intake regulating valve and the water outlet of the mineralization bin to monitor the flow of the mineralized water and to monitor whether the mineralized water is normally provided to the user.
[0202] Specifically, in the case where a water tank is provided, a flow meter may be provided between the water tank and the water intake adjustment valve to monitor the flow rate of the mineralized water.
[0203] Optionally, a first check valve can be provided between the flow meter and the water intake adjustment valve to prevent ordinary water from directly flowing back into the water tank or the mineralization tank and affecting the taste of the mineralized water. At the same time, a check valve can also be provided between the water pump and the water intake solenoid valve to prevent the water in the mineralization tank from being sucked back by the water pump.
[0204] In one embodiment of the present invention, the mineralization bin is further provided with a drainage outlet;
[0205] The method further comprises:
[0206] S1001, draining water and impurities in the mineralization bin through the drain port.
[0207] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the mineralization bin has been mineralizing water for a long time, a certain amount of impurities may be generated at the bottom of the mineralization bin. In order to prevent the impurities from affecting the taste of the mineralized water, a drain outlet may be provided at the bottom of the mineralization bin, and the water in the mineralization bin may be drained from the drain outlet, so that the impurities at the bottom may be drained together to maintain the taste of the mineralized water.
[0208] At the same time, when the water tank cannot accommodate more mineral water, the excess mineral water can also be discharged through the drain to avoid affecting the normal operation of the system.
