Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of water softeners, in particular to a water softener with a water circuit in series with a water softener valve, and in particular to a connection method between a glass fiber reinforced plastic barrel of the water softener and a water softener valve. Background Art

[0002] At present, the water softeners on the market include large central water softeners and small water softeners, and are divided into integrated machines and split machines. However, in order to ensure performance and practicality, most water softeners are relatively high and large in size. At present, water softeners are generally installed in places with sufficient height, length and width, such as equipment rooms and balconies. Once it comes to under-kitchen water softeners, the volume requirements are more stringent. Most families do not have equipment rooms or balconies and other places. There are no installation conditions and they can only be installed under the kitchen. There are absolute requirements for the volume of water softeners. The above problems require miniaturization design to address this problem, making the water softener a home appliance that can be installed at will. Since the container used by the current water softener is a fiberglass barrel and the water softener valve that controls the water softener. Under the condition of ensuring that the filter material of the water softener remains unchanged, the installation method of the control valve of the traditional water softener has become a major factor affecting the height of the water softener. Summary of the invention

[0003] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: The water softener with a water circuit in series with a water valve comprises a control valve 1, a water circuit board 2 and a water circuit board connector 3 which are connected in sequence; one end of the water circuit board 2 is connected to the water circuit board connector 3, and the other end is connected to the control valve 1.

[0004] As a further solution of the present invention, one end of the waterway plate 2 is connected to the waterway plate connector 3 through the screw hole 4 and the first quick-release interface 7, and the other end is connected to the control valve 1 through the second quick-release interface 5 and the third quick-release interface 6.

[0005] As a further solution of the present invention, the control valve 1 is provided with a plurality of waterway channels, the waterway plate 2 is provided with a plurality of waterways, and the waterway plate joint 3 is provided with a plurality of waterway interfaces; the waterways are respectively connected with the waterway channels and the waterway interfaces.

[0006] As a further solution of the present invention, the water channel includes water channel 1.1, water channel 1.2, water channel 2.1, water channel 2.2, and water channel 3.1 that are adjacently arranged and internally connected; the waterway includes waterway 1.3 and waterway 2.3 that are adjacently arranged; the waterway interface includes waterway interface 1.4 and waterway interface 2.4 that are adjacently arranged and internally connected.

[0007] As a further solution of the present invention, one end of the waterway 2.3 is connected to the waterway interface 2.4, and the other end is connected to the waterway channel 2.2; one end of the waterway 1.3 is connected to the waterway interface 1.4, and the other end is connected to the waterway channel 1.2.

[0008] As a further solution of the present invention, the other ends of the water channel interface 1.4 and the water channel interface 2.4 are connected to the glass fiber reinforced plastic barrel.

[0009] The present invention improves the existing water softener valve so that the water softener valve does not need to be directly installed on the glass fiber reinforced plastic barrel. The water softener valve is then connected in series with the glass fiber reinforced plastic barrel through a waterway plate joint and a waterway plate. In this way, the water softener valve can be placed anywhere, avoiding the problem that the water softener valve must be installed on the glass fiber reinforced plastic barrel before. The present invention is more flexible, greatly reduces the size of the water softener and does not affect the functionality of the water softener.

[0021] The present invention will be further explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and related knowledge, and described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described application is only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-Figure 12 As shown, the present invention provides a water softener with a water circuit in series with a water valve, comprising a control valve 1, a water circuit board 2 and a water circuit board connector 3 connected in sequence; one end of the water circuit board 2 is connected to the water circuit board connector 3, and the other end is connected to the control valve 1. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the waterway plate 2 of the present invention is located between the waterway plate joint 3 and the water softener 1, and the waterway connection is achieved through the designed quick-release structure, so the water softener does not need to be installed on the glass fiber reinforced plastic barrel, and the overall height is reduced, which can optimize the height of all types of water softeners and is more suitable for the miniaturized market. It should be noted that the present application can achieve the adjustability of the installation position of the control valve 1 through a waterway plate 2.

[0023] In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, one end of the waterway plate 2 is connected to the waterway plate connector 3 through the screw hole 4 and the first quick release interface 7, and the other end is connected to the control valve 1 through the second quick release interface 5 and the third quick release interface 6. Figure 3-Figure 7 As shown, both ends of the waterway plate 2 are respectively connected to the waterway plate connector 3 and the control valve 1 through a quick-release structure. The quick-release method is a conventional method, for example, snap-fitting can be used, and for example, the waterway plate 2 and the waterway plate connector 3 can be connected by threads, and the control valve 1 is connected by a quick-release method, etc. As long as the quick-release method is met, it meets the requirements of the present invention.

[0024] The waterway plate 2 involved in the present invention is specially designed for various types of water softeners. The original restriction that the control valve must be installed on the glass fiber reinforced plastic barrel is solved. The control valve 1 is connected in series with the glass fiber reinforced plastic barrel through the waterway plate 2 and the waterway plate connector 3. This design solves the problem that the control valve must be installed on the top of the glass fiber reinforced plastic barrel, and the internal waterway design makes the internal structure of the water softener more modular. This solution greatly reduces the height of the water softener while ensuring the original resin capacity, so that the water softener is no longer restricted in height by the valve body, reduces the installation conditions of the water softener, and improves the practicality of the water softener.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the control valve 1 is provided with a plurality of water channels, the water channel plate 2 is provided with a plurality of water channels, and the water channel plate joint 3 is provided with a plurality of water channel interfaces; the water channels are respectively connected with the water channel channels and the water channel interfaces, that is, the control valve 1 has a third quick-release interface 6 as well as a water inlet and outlet, a sewage outlet, and a salt intake port. For the sake of convenience of explanation, the water inlet and outlet, the sewage outlet, and the salt intake port are unified as a water channel, and then connected with the second quick-release interface 5 through the third quick-release interface 6 and fixed by a latch.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the waterway plate joint 3 is provided with a plurality of waterway interfaces, preferably two. Similarly, the waterway plate preferably has two hollow waterways that are not interconnected, and the two ends of the waterway plate have different quick-release interfaces, one side is connected to the waterway plate on the glass fiber reinforced plastic barrel by quick release, and can be fixed by screws, and the other side is connected to the quick release interface of the control valve and fixed by a latch; In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the water circuit plate joint 3 is connected to the FRP barrel by a thread, and a quick-release interface is provided on the side of the water circuit plate 2, which is connected to the water circuit plate through a first quick-release interface 7 and then fixed by screws; when the water softener is in use, the raw water passes through the control valve through the hollow water channel of the water circuit plate to reach the FRP barrel, and returns to the control valve through another hollow water channel of the water circuit plate to complete softening.

[0027] The present invention improves the existing water softener valve by splitting the water softener into parts, so that the water softener valve does not need to be directly installed on the glass fiber reinforced plastic barrel. Then, the water softener valve and the glass fiber reinforced plastic barrel are connected in series through a water circuit board joint and the water circuit board. The water softener valve can be placed anywhere, avoiding the problem of having to install the water softener valve on the glass fiber reinforced plastic barrel in the past. The present invention is more flexible, greatly reduces the size of the water softener and does not affect the functionality of the water softener.

[0028] It should be noted that the number of waterway channels, waterways and waterway interfaces in the present application can be adjusted as needed and is not limited to the number mentioned in the present application.

[0029] In order to more clearly express the working principle of the present invention Reference Fig. 9 As shown, the schematic diagram of the water circuit of the water softener working position The raw water passes through the water channel (water inlet) 1.1 and enters the control valve 1. The raw water enters the water channel 1.2 (water outlet) on the third quick-release interface 6 of the control valve through the control valve 1. Since the water channel 2 has two different water channels 1.3 and 2.3, the raw water flows through the water channel 1.3 to the water channel interface 1.4 (water inlet) of the water channel joint 3, and enters the inside of the glass fiber reinforced plastic barrel 1.5 through the water channel interface 1.4 (water inlet). After passing through the filter material layer, the softened soft water is transported to the water channel interface 2.4 (water outlet) of the water channel joint by the central pipe 2.5. Since the water channel has two different water channels, the water channel 2.3 of the water channel plate is used as the outlet water channel to transport the soft water to the water channel 2.2 (water outlet) on the third quick-release interface 6 of the control valve, and then flows out from the water channel 2.1 (water outlet) through the control valve.

[0030] Reference Fig.10 As shown, the principle of brine absorption circuit: Schematic diagram of brine absorption circuit of water softener The raw water enters the control valve through the water channel 1.1 (water inlet) and flows out through the water channel 2.1 (water outlet). The specific process is as follows: according to the ejector principle in the control valve, the salt water is sucked into the control valve, and the salt water is transported to the water channel 2.3 of the water circuit board through the water channel 2.2 (water outlet) on the third quick-release interface 6 (control valve quick-release interface). The salt water is transported from the water channel 2.3 of the water circuit board to the water channel interface 2.4 (water inlet) on the water circuit board connector. The salt water is transported to the central tube 2.5 through the water circuit board connector. The salt water flows out from the lower side of the central tube, passes through the resin layer fiberglass barrel 1.5 to complete the regeneration replacement, and the salt water continues to flow through the water channel interface 1.4 (water outlet), flows through the water channel 1.3 of the water circuit board to the water channel 1.2 (water inlet) on the control valve quick-release interface, flows through the control valve, and is discharged from the water channel 3.1 (drain port) of the control valve. Reference Fig.10 As shown, the backwash water circuit principle: Schematic diagram of the water softener brine absorption circuit The raw water enters the control valve through the water channel 1.1 (water inlet) and flows out through the water channel 2.1 (water outlet). According to the control valve principle, one path of the raw water is transported to the water channel 2.3 of the water circuit board through the water channel 2.2 (water outlet) on the third quick-release interface 6 of the control valve, and the raw water is transported from the water channel 2.3 of the water circuit board to the water channel interface 2.4 (water inlet) on the water circuit board joint, and the raw water is transported to the center pipe 2.5 through the water circuit board joint. The raw water flows out from the lower side of the center pipe and passes through the inside of the resin layer fiberglass barrel 1.5 to complete the backwashing. The raw water continues to flow from the water channel interface 1.4 (water outlet) on the water circuit board joint through the water channel 1.3 of the water circuit board to the water inlet of the water channel 1.2 on the quick-release interface of the control valve, and flows through the control valve and is discharged from the sewage outlet (water channel 3.1) of the control valve.

[0031] Reference Fig.11As shown, the principle of the positive wash water circuit The raw water enters the control valve through the water channel 1.1 (water inlet), and flows out through the control valve from the water channel 2.1 (water outlet) of the control valve. One of the raw water waterways passes through the control valve and transfers the raw water from the water channel 1.2 (water outlet) on the control valve quick-release interface (third quick-release interface 6) into the waterway plate 2. Since the waterway plate has two different waterways 1.3 and 2.3, the raw water flows from the waterway 1.3 to the waterway interface 1.4 (water inlet) of the waterway plate joint 3, and enters the interior of the glass fiber reinforced plastic barrel 1.5 from the waterway interface 1.4 (water inlet), and is transported from the central pipe 2.5 through the filter material layer to the waterway interface 2.4 (water outlet) of the waterway plate joint. Since the waterway plate has two different waterways, the waterway plate outlet waterway 2.3 delivers soft water to the waterway channel 2.2 (water outlet) on the control valve quick release interface (third quick release interface 6), and the positive wash water is discharged from the drain outlet (waterway channel 3.1) through the control valve.

[0032] The technical principle of the present invention is described above in combination with the specific embodiments, which are only preferred implementations of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and all technical solutions under the idea of ​​the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can think of other specific implementations of the present invention without creative work, and these methods will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
