Example 1, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a reverse osmosis water purification system provided by the present application. As Figure 1 shown, the reverse osmosis water purification system includes a tap water inlet 1, a domestic water outlet 2, a domestic water pipe 3, a water purification module 4, a booster pump 5, a drinking water outlet 6, a water storage tank 7, and a check valve 8, specifically as follows: In one embodiment, the tap water inlet 1 is connected to the domestic water outlet 2 through the domestic water pipe 3.

[0028] Specifically, during the daily use of tap water, such as in scenarios like washing hands, washing vegetables, and mopping the floor, after the tap water enters from the tap water inlet 1, it can directly flow out through the domestic water outlet 2 via the domestic water pipe 3, ensuring the timeliness and stability of domestic water use.

[0029] Specifically, a domestic water faucet is further provided at the domestic water outlet 2 for discharging domestic water.

[0030] In one embodiment, the reverse osmosis water purification system further includes a first solenoid valve 9; wherein, a first end of the first solenoid valve 9 is connected to the tap water inlet 1, and a second end of the first solenoid valve 9 is connected to an inlet end of the water storage tank 7.

[0031] Specifically, the function of the first solenoid valve 9 is to control the flow rate of tap water entering the water storage tank 7.

[0032] Specifically, when it is necessary to replenish water to the water storage tank 7, by opening the first solenoid valve 9, it is allowed that after the tap water enters from the tap water inlet 1, it flows into the water storage tank 7 through the first solenoid valve 9; when the water storage tank 7 is full or water replenishment is not required, the first solenoid valve 9 can also be closed to stop the tap water from flowing into the water storage tank 7, achieving the stop of water supply; this setting can prevent the water storage tank 7 from being always full of water, resulting in the inability of waste water to flow into the water storage tank 7.

[0033] In one embodiment, a liquid level sensor 16 is provided inside the water storage tank 7.

[0034] Specifically, the liquid level sensor 16 can monitor the water level height in the water storage tank 7 in real time, provide accurate water level information, and according to the feedback of the liquid level sensor 16, the system can automatically control the opening or closing of the first solenoid valve 9 to prevent the water storage tank 7 from being always full of water, resulting in the waste water being unable to flow into the water storage tank 7.

[0035] In one embodiment, an exhaust port 17 is provided at the top of the water storage tank 7.

[0036] Specifically, an exhaust port device is provided at the exhaust port 17 of the water storage tank 7. When the water storage tank 7 is full of water, the exhaust port device will automatically block the exhaust port 17. When the water storage tank 7 is not full of water, the exhaust port device will automatically descend with the water level and then open the exhaust port 17 to make the exhaust port 17 communicate with the outside.

[0037] Specifically, the exhaust port 17 at the top of the water storage tank 7 is used to balance the air pressure inside and outside the tank, preventing the water flow from being blocked or the system pressure from being abnormal due to the air pressure change. When the water level in the water storage tank 7 drops, the exhaust port device will automatically descend with the water level. Opening the exhaust port 17 can make the waste water flow smoothly into the water storage tank 7. When the water level in the water storage tank 7 rises until it is full of water, the exhaust port device will automatically block the exhaust port 17, enabling the water in the water storage tank 7 to flow through the domestic water pipeline 3 to the domestic water outlet 2.

[0038] In one embodiment, the inlet end of the booster pump 5 is connected to the outlet end of the water storage tank 7, the outlet end of the booster pump 5 is connected to the inlet end of the water purification module 4, and the purified water outlet end of the water purification module 4 is connected to the drinking water outlet 6.

[0039] In one embodiment, the reverse osmosis water purification system further includes a second solenoid valve 10. Among them, the first end of the second solenoid valve 10 is connected to the outlet end of the booster pump 5, and the second end of the second solenoid valve 10 is connected to the inlet end of the water purification module 4.

[0040] Specifically, a drinking water faucet is provided at the drinking water outlet 6.

[0041] Specifically, the function of the booster pump 5 is to provide power for the water flow, pressurize the water in the water storage tank 7 and then transport it to the water purification module 4. This is because the water purification module 4 requires a certain pressure to push water molecules through the RO membrane, so as to realize the filtration of impurities and dissolved solids in the water.

[0042] Specifically, the water purification module 4 is used to filter and purify the incoming water flow, and provide water meeting the drinking standard for users.

[0043] Specifically, the water purification module 4 contains an RO filter element. The filter element can have different compositions and can be divided into one core, two cores, three cores, etc., and the number of filter elements is not limited. Specifically, the second solenoid valve 10 is used to control the water flow pressurized by the booster pump 5 to flow to the water purification module 4; by controlling the opening and closing of the second solenoid valve 10, precise control of the water inlet of the water purification module 4 is achieved.

[0044] Specifically, the water storage tank 7 is used to store raw water, usually tap water, and may also collect pre-treated water or wastewater.

[0045] Specifically, the water inlet end of the booster pump 5 is connected to the water outlet end of the water storage tank 7 through a pipeline to ensure that the water in the water storage tank 7 can smoothly enter the booster pump 5; the water outlet end of the booster pump 5 is connected to the first end of the second solenoid valve 10 through a pipeline, and the second end of the second solenoid valve 10 is connected to the water inlet end of the water purification module 4 through a pipeline to control the on-off of the water flow entering the water purification module 4; the purified water outlet end of the water purification module 4 is connected to the drinking water outlet 6 through a pipeline to deliver the purified water to the drinking water faucet.

[0046] Specifically, when the system starts and the water level in the water storage tank 7 is insufficient, the first solenoid valve 9 opens, and tap water enters the water storage tank 7 through the domestic water pipeline 3 until the water storage tank 7 is full, and the first solenoid valve 9 closes. When it is necessary to produce drinking water, the booster pump 5 starts to pump out and pressurize the water in the water storage tank 7; the pressurized water flows to the second solenoid valve 10 and flows into the water purification module 4 through the second solenoid valve 10 for purification treatment, and the purified water is output from the drinking water outlet 6, ensuring the user's demand for drinking water.

[0047] In one embodiment, the reverse osmosis water purification system further includes a high-pressure switch module 12; wherein, the high-pressure switch module 12 is arranged at the purified water outlet end of the water purification module 4.

[0048] Specifically, the high-pressure switch module 12 is used to detect the pressure at the water outlet end of the water purification module 4. When the detected pressure reaches or exceeds the preset threshold, it controls the second solenoid valve 10 and the booster pump 5 to close; it can effectively prevent the system from being damaged due to high pressure, extend the service life of the equipment, and improve the safety of the system at the same time.

[0049] In one embodiment, the wastewater outlet end of the water purification module 4 is connected to the first end of the check valve 8, the second end of the check valve 8 is connected to the wastewater inlet end of the water storage tank 7, and the domestic water inlet end of the water storage tank 7 is connected to the tap water inlet 1.

[0050] In one embodiment, the reverse osmosis water purification system further includes a third solenoid valve 11. The first end of the third solenoid valve 11 is connected to the wastewater outlet end of the water purification module 4, and the second end of the third solenoid valve 11 is connected to the first end of the one-way valve 8.

[0051] Specifically, the one-way valve 8 is used to ensure that wastewater can only flow from the water purification module 4 to the water storage tank 7, prevent the water in the water storage tank 7 from flowing back to the water purification module 4, and avoid polluting the water purification module 4 or affecting its normal operation.

[0052] Specifically, the third solenoid valve 11 is used to control the flow direction of wastewater in the water purification module 4. By controlling the opening and closing of the third solenoid valve 11, it is determined whether the wastewater enters the water storage tank 7.

[0053] Specifically, since wastewater is generated during the filtration process of the water purification module 4, by connecting the wastewater outlet end of the water purification module 4 to the first end of the third solenoid valve 11 through a pipeline; connecting the second end of the third solenoid valve 11 to the first end of the one-way valve 8 through a pipeline; connecting the second end of the one-way valve 8 to the wastewater inlet end of the water storage tank 7 through a pipeline, the wastewater can be re-introduced into the water storage tank 7 through the third solenoid valve 11 and the one-way valve 8, and can be used again as the raw water for filtration after dilution in the water storage tank 7, significantly reducing water resource waste.

[0054] In one embodiment, the reverse osmosis water purification system further includes a fourth solenoid valve 13 and a sewer drain 15. Among them, the first end of the fourth solenoid valve 13 is connected to the first wastewater outlet end of the water storage tank 7, and the second end of the fourth solenoid valve 13 is connected to the sewer drain 15.

[0055] Specifically, the fourth solenoid valve 13 is used to control the on-off of the flow of wastewater from the water storage tank 7 to the drain. When wastewater needs to be discharged, the fourth solenoid valve 13 is opened, and the wastewater flows into the sewer through the fourth solenoid valve 13; when wastewater does not need to be discharged, the fourth solenoid valve 13 is closed to prevent the wastewater from flowing out.

[0056] Specifically, connect the first end of the fourth solenoid valve 13 to the first wastewater outlet end of the water storage tank 7 through a pipeline; connect the second end of the fourth solenoid valve 13 to the sewer drain 15 through a pipeline.

[0057] Specifically, in the embodiment of the reverse osmosis water purification system, the fourth solenoid valve 13 and the sewer drain 15 are provided to provide a path for wastewater discharge, so that the wastewater in the water storage tank 7 can be directly discharged into the sewer when needed; this setting increases the flexibility and adaptability of the system, especially in scenarios of dealing with water quality problems or system maintenance.

[0058] In one embodiment, the domestic water outlet end of the water storage tank 7 is connected to the domestic water outlet 2 through the domestic water pipeline 3.

[0059] In one embodiment, the reverse osmosis water purification system further includes a fifth solenoid valve 14. Among them, the first end of the fifth solenoid valve 14 is connected to the domestic water outlet end of the water storage tank 7, and the second end of the fifth solenoid valve 14 is connected to the domestic water outlet 2 through the domestic water pipeline 3.

[0060] Specifically, the fifth solenoid valve 14 is used to control the on-off of the wastewater flowing from the water storage tank 7 to the domestic water pipeline 3; when the wastewater needs to be used for domestic water purposes, the fifth solenoid valve 14 is opened, and the wastewater enters the domestic water pipeline 3 through the fifth solenoid valve 14 and is finally discharged from the domestic water outlet 2; when the wastewater does not need to be used for domestic water purposes, the fifth solenoid valve 14 is closed to prevent the wastewater from flowing into the domestic water pipeline 3.

[0061] Specifically, the first end of the fifth solenoid valve 14 is connected to the domestic water outlet end of the water storage tank 7 through a pipeline; the second end of the fifth solenoid valve 14 is connected to the domestic water pipeline 3 through a pipeline and is finally connected to the domestic water outlet 2.

[0062] Specifically, in the embodiment of the reverse osmosis water purification system, the fifth solenoid valve 14 is provided to provide a mechanism such that the wastewater in the water storage tank 7 can be discharged along with the domestic water and can be reused after being diluted by the domestic water; this setting further optimizes the utilization of water resources, reduces the direct discharge of wastewater, and realizes the reuse of wastewater.

[0063] Preferably, the reverse osmosis water purification system further includes a total dissolved solids concentration sensor (not shown in the figure); the total dissolved solids concentration sensor is built into the water storage tank 7.

[0064] Specifically, the total dissolved solids concentration in the water storage tank 7 is detected by the built-in total dissolved solids concentration sensor. When the total dissolved solids concentration in the water storage tank 7 meets the preset total dissolved solids concentration threshold, the fourth solenoid valve 13 is controlled to open to drain the water in the water storage tank 7 to the sewer; when the total dissolved solids concentration in the water storage tank 7 does not meet the preset total dissolved solids concentration threshold, the fourth solenoid valve 13 is controlled to close.

[0065] Embodiment 2, see Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a schematic flowchart of an embodiment of a wastewater treatment method for a reverse osmosis water purification system provided by the present application. As Figure 2 shown, the method includes Step 101 - Step 102, specifically as follows: Step 101: Obtain the current water usage mode. When the current water usage mode is not the preset target water usage mode, obtain the liquid level height of the water storage tank, where the preset target water usage mode is the mode of closing domestic water and closing drinking water.

[0066] In one embodiment, the set water usage modes include, but are not limited to, the mode of closing domestic water and closing drinking water, the mode of closing domestic water and opening drinking water, the mode of opening domestic water and opening drinking water, and the mode of opening domestic water and closing drinking water.

[0067] Specifically, since no wastewater is generated when the current water usage mode is the mode of closing domestic water and closing drinking water, in this water usage mode, it is not necessary to control the on / off states of the first solenoid valve and the fifth solenoid valve to drain the water in the water storage tank through the domestic water pipeline.

[0068] In one embodiment, since a liquid level sensor is provided in the water storage tank, the liquid level height of the water storage tank can be directly detected and obtained based on the liquid level sensor.

[0069] Step 102: Based on the current water usage mode and the liquid level height, control the on / off states of the first solenoid valve, the fifth solenoid valve, and the water purification unit to drain the water in the water storage tank through the domestic water pipeline; where the water purification unit includes a booster pump, a second solenoid valve, a water purification module, a third solenoid valve, and a check valve.

[0070] In one embodiment, when the current water usage mode is the mode of closing domestic water and opening drinking water, control the water purification unit to turn on, and control the first solenoid valve to turn on and the fifth solenoid valve to turn off; when detecting whether the liquid level height is the full water level height, if so, control the first solenoid valve and the fifth solenoid valve to turn off, so that the water in the water storage tank flows through the domestic water pipeline to the drinking water outlet, until detecting that the liquid level height is the preset low liquid level height, control the first solenoid valve to turn on and the fifth solenoid valve to turn off, until detecting again that the liquid level height is the full water level height.

[0071] Specifically, when the water purification unit is turned on, the first solenoid valve is turned on and the fifth solenoid valve is turned off. At this time, after the tap water flows in from the tap water inlet, it flows into the water storage tank through the opened first solenoid valve as the raw water for filtration. Since the water purification unit is turned on, that is, the booster pump, the second solenoid valve, the water purification module, the third solenoid valve and the check valve are all in the open state. At this time, the water in the water storage tank is pumped out by the booster pump and flows into the water purification unit through the second solenoid valve for purification treatment. The purified water flows out through the drinking water outlet to meet the drinking water needs of users. At the same time, the wastewater generated by the water purification module flows back into the water storage tank through the third solenoid valve and the check valve, realizing the recycling of wastewater. At the same time, the fifth solenoid valve is closed to cut off the water connection between the water storage tank and the domestic water pipeline, realizing the function of closing the domestic water.

[0072] Specifically, due to the limited space of the water storage tank, therefore, in combination with the detected liquid level height in the water storage tank, when the liquid level height reaches the full water level height, the system automatically closes the first solenoid valve to prevent the water storage tank from being always full and causing the wastewater to be unable to flow into the water storage tank; when the liquid level of the water storage tank drops to the preset low liquid level height, the system automatically opens the first solenoid valve to replenish water to the full water level height again. During this process, the system continuously monitors the liquid level height and automatically adjusts the opening and closing state of the first solenoid valve according to the liquid level change. Specifically, when it is detected that the liquid starts to drop from the full water level height, the exhaust port in the water storage tank opens, which can enable the wastewater to flow smoothly into the water storage tank and ensure the normal use of the water purification module.

[0073] In one embodiment, when the current water use mode is the domestic water closed and drinking water open mode, it further includes: detecting whether the total dissolved solids concentration in the water storage tank meets the preset total dissolved solids concentration threshold. If so, control the fourth solenoid valve to open so that the water in the water storage tank flows through the domestic water pipeline to the sewer drain outlet.

[0074] Specifically, when the domestic water is not used for a long time, the total dissolved solids concentration of the water quality in the water storage tank may increase due to continuous circulation and filtration. Therefore, in order to ensure water quality safety and the normal operation of the system, by automatically detecting the total dissolved solids concentration in the water storage tank, if the total dissolved solids concentration reaches or exceeds the preset threshold, the system will automatically open the fourth solenoid valve to drain the water in the water storage tank to the sewer.

[0075] Specifically, the total dissolved solids concentration sensor can be built into the water storage tank, and the total dissolved solids concentration in the water storage tank is detected by the built-in total dissolved solids concentration sensor.

[0076] Specifically, when it is detected that the total dissolved solid concentration in the water storage tank does not meet the preset total dissolved solid concentration threshold, the fourth solenoid valve is controlled to close.

[0077] In one embodiment, when the current water usage mode is the mode where domestic water is turned on and drinking water is turned on, the water purification unit is controlled to turn on, and the first solenoid valve is controlled to turn on and the fifth solenoid valve is controlled to close; when it is detected whether the liquid level height is the full water level height, if so, the first solenoid valve and the fifth solenoid valve are controlled to close, so that the water in the water storage tank flows through the domestic water pipeline to the drinking water outlet, until it is detected that the liquid level height is the preset low liquid level height, the first solenoid valve is controlled to turn on and the fifth solenoid valve is controlled to turn on, so that the water in the water storage tank flows through the domestic water pipeline to the domestic water outlet, until it is detected again that the liquid level height is the full water level height, the first solenoid valve is controlled to turn on and the fifth solenoid valve is controlled to close.

[0078] Specifically, the difference between the mode where domestic water is turned on and drinking water is turned on and the mode where domestic water is turned off and drinking water is turned on is that when it is detected that the liquid level height is the preset low liquid level height, the fifth solenoid valve is controlled to turn on to realize the discharge of domestic water.

[0079] Specifically, when the water level in the water storage tank drops to the low liquid level height and it is detected that the total dissolved solid concentration in the water storage tank reaches or exceeds the preset threshold, the remaining water may affect the water quality due to long-term stay. By opening the first solenoid valve and the fifth solenoid valve, tap water flows into the water storage tank, and at the same time, the water in the water storage tank flows through the domestic water pipeline to the domestic water outlet for discharge; this can ensure that the water in the water storage tank is always fresh, avoid water quality deterioration, and the replaced water is discharged through the domestic water pipeline to realize the reuse of water resources.

[0080] In one embodiment, when the current water usage mode is the mode where domestic water is turned on and drinking water is turned off, the water purification unit is controlled to turn off, and the first solenoid valve is controlled to turn on and the fifth solenoid valve is controlled to turn on, so that the water in the water storage tank flows through the domestic water pipeline to the domestic water outlet.

[0081] Specifically, since the water purification unit is not enabled in the mode where domestic water is turned on and drinking water is turned off, that is, the booster pump, the second solenoid valve, the water purification module, the third solenoid valve and the one-way valve are all in the closed state. At this time, the water purification module does not operate, so no new wastewater is generated; at this time, the first solenoid valve and the fifth solenoid valve are opened, tap water flows into the water storage tank, and at the same time, the water in the water storage tank flows through the domestic water pipeline to the domestic water outlet for discharge, which can meet the domestic water usage needs of users while ensuring that the water in the water storage tank is always fresh.
