[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic diagram of the composition of a purification system provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, the purification system includes a concentrated water return loop and a liquid scale inhibitor storage tank 1. The concentrated water return loop includes a booster self-priming pump 2, a reverse osmosis membrane filter element 3, an electric ball valve 4, and a jet pump 5;

[0055] The water outlet of the booster self-priming pump 2 is connected to the water inlet of the reverse osmosis membrane filter element 3;

[0056] The concentrated water outlet of the reverse osmosis membrane filter element 3 is connected to the water inlet of the electric ball valve 4. The electric ball valve 4 is used to control the flow rate of the currently returned concentrated water, and the operating gear of the electric ball valve 4 is associated with the hardness data of the tap water to be input to the reverse osmosis membrane filter element 3;

[0057] The water outlet of the electric ball valve 4 is connected to the water inlet of the jet pump 5;

[0058] The suction port of the jet pump 5 is connected to the liquid outlet of the liquid scale inhibitor storage tank 1. The jet pump 5 is used to suck a target content of liquid scale inhibitor into the concentrated water return loop according to the flow rate of the currently returned concentrated water and mix the target content of liquid scale inhibitor with the currently returned concentrated water;

[0059] The water outlet of the jet pump 5 is connected to the water inlet of the booster self-priming pump 2.

[0060] Further, the purification system further includes a waste water solenoid valve 6. The water inlet of the waste water solenoid valve 6 is connected to the waste water outlet of the reverse osmosis membrane filter element 3. The waste water solenoid valve 6 is used to discharge the concentrated water that does not pass through the concentrated water return circuit.

[0061] Further, the purification system further includes a flow meter. The flow meter is located between the electric ball valve 4 and the ejector 5. The water inlet of the flow meter is connected to the water outlet of the electric ball valve 4, and the water outlet of the flow meter is connected to the water inlet of the ejector 5. The flow meter is used to measure the flow rate of the currently returned concentrated water. The flow meter is not shown in the figure.

[0062] Further, the liquid scale inhibitor storage tank 1 is provided with an exhaust hole 7 and a liquid level float 8. The liquid level float 8 is used to detect the liquid level height in the liquid scale inhibitor storage tank 1.

[0063] Further, the purification system may further include a hardness detector 9. The hardness detector 9 is used to detect the hardness data of the tap water to be input into the reverse osmosis membrane filter element 3.

[0064] Further, as Figure 1 shown, the purification system may further include a pretreatment filter element 10, a solenoid valve 11, a check valve 12, a post-treatment filter element 13, a solenoid valve 14, a water purification tank 15 (including an exhaust hole 16 and a liquid level float 17), a solenoid valve 18, and a solenoid valve 19.

[0065] Among them, the pretreatment filter element 10 may be a polypropylene melt-blown filter element, or a filter element composed of a polypropylene melt-blown filter element and a carbon rod, or a hollow fiber membrane filter element, or a composite filter element of a hollow fiber membrane and a carbon rod. The booster self-priming pump 2 has both a boosting function and a self-priming function. The post-treatment filter element 13 may be a carbon rod, or granular activated carbon, or a composite filter element of a carbon rod and an ultrafiltration membrane. The water inlet of the check valve 12 is connected in parallel with the water inlet of the booster self-priming pump 2. The waste water (i.e., concentrated water) of the reverse osmosis membrane filter element 3 is divided into two paths. One path is connected to the water inlet of the waste water solenoid valve 6, and the other path is connected to the water inlet of the electric ball valve 4. The liquid level float 8 can send two signals of high water level and low water level. The water outlet of the post-treatment filter element 13 is divided into two paths. One path is directly connected to the water inlet of the solenoid valve 19, and the other path is connected to the water outlet of the solenoid valve 14. The water inlet of the solenoid valve 14 is connected to the water outlet of the water purification tank 15. The water purification tank 15 has an exhaust hole 16 and a liquid level float 17. The liquid level float 17 can send two signals of high water level and low water level.

[0066] Before the purification system makes water, it needs to perform the following actions first: first, detect the water level of the purified water in the water purification tank 15. If the liquid level float 17 in the water purification tank 15 detects that the water level is less than or equal to the low water level, then first open the solenoid valve 11, the booster self-priming pump 2, and the solenoid valve 14 until the liquid level float 17 detects the high water level. At this time, if water making is required, then open the solenoid valve 11, the booster self-priming pump 2, and the solenoid valve 19 at this time.

[0067] The purification system can also implement the function of purifying and washing the membrane under two preset conditions. The first is when the purification system continuously produces water for more than 6 hours. At this time, the purification system detects whether the water level in the pure water tank 15 is greater than the low water level. The preset height of the low water level is much higher than the water outlet of the high-level pure water tank 15. If the water in the pure water tank 15 is lower than the preset height of the low water level, then open the solenoid valve 14, solenoid valve 11, and booster self-priming pump 2, and close the solenoid valve 19 until the liquid level float ball 17 in the pure water tank 15 detects the high water level. At this time, open the solenoid valve 18, booster self-priming pump 2, and waste water solenoid valve 6 for 60 seconds to wash the reverse osmosis membrane filter element 3. After the washing is completed, if it is necessary to continue producing water, it can enter the water production mode. If it is not necessary to produce water, the above components can be turned off. The second is when the water production mode stops, the system needs to run the above process to wash the reverse osmosis membrane filter element 3.

[0068] The above purification system is a system composition shown according to an embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the application scope of a method for concentrating water reflux provided by the present application.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a flowchart of a method for controlling concentrated water reflux provided by an embodiment of the present application. The present application provides the method operation steps as described in the embodiment or flowchart, but based on routine or non-creative labor, it may include more or fewer operation steps. The step sequence listed in the embodiment is only one way among the execution sequences of many steps and does not represent the only execution sequence. When the actual system or server product executes, it can be executed in the order shown in the embodiment or the drawing or executed in parallel (for example, in an environment of parallel processors or multi-threaded processing). As Figure 2 shown, a method for controlling concentrated water reflux provided by an embodiment of the present application can be applied to a purification system as shown in Figure 1 Specifically, it may include the following steps:

[0070] S210: During the purification process, obtain the current hardness data of the tap water to be input to the reverse osmosis membrane filter element.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, during the water production process of the purification system, the current hardness data of the tap water to be input to the reverse osmosis membrane filter element is determined by a hardness detector in the purification system.

[0072] S220: Based on the corresponding relationship between the preset operation gear and the hardness data, determine the current operation gear corresponding to the current hardness data, so that the electric ball valve operates according to the current operation gear. The electric ball valve is used to control the flow rate of the current reflux concentrated water.

[0073] In the embodiments of the present application, whether to trigger the recirculation of the concentrated water is determined by the magnitude of the current hardness data. Among them, the currently recirculated concentrated water is the concentrated water discharged by some or all of the reverse osmosis membrane filters. The concentrated water discharged by the reverse osmosis membrane filters can also be directly discharged.

[0074] In an exemplary embodiment, the correspondence between the preset operating gears and the hardness data can be expressed as:

[0075] When the current hardness data is less than or equal to 100 mg / L, it is determined that the current operating gear is the first gear;

[0076] When the current hardness data is between 100 mg / L and 300 mg / L, it is determined that the current operating gear is the second gear;

[0077] When the current hardness data is greater than or equal to 300 mg / L, it is determined that the current operating gear is the third gear;

[0078] Among them, the flow rate of the recirculated concentrated water corresponding to the first gear is lower than the flow rate of the recirculated concentrated water corresponding to the second gear, and the flow rate of the recirculated concentrated water corresponding to the second gear is lower than the flow rate of the recirculated concentrated water corresponding to the third gear.

[0079] In the above embodiments, the specific hardness data, the number of gears, and the flow rate of the recirculated concentrated water corresponding to each gear can be set according to the actual operation effect of the purification system. This is only an example here.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, before operating the electric ball valve, the method further includes:

[0081] Determine the first liquid level height of the first liquid level float ball in the liquid scale inhibitor storage tank;

[0082] When the first liquid level height is lower than the first preset water level, replenish the liquid scale inhibitor into the liquid scale inhibitor storage tank until the first liquid level height reaches the second preset water level, where the first preset water level is lower than the second preset water level.

[0083] Among them, the first preset water level can correspond to the low water level height in the preset liquid scale inhibitor storage tank, and the second preset water level can correspond to the high water level height in the preset liquid scale inhibitor storage tank.

[0084] In the above embodiments, the first liquid level height being lower than the first preset water level, that is, indicating that the amount of the liquid scale inhibitor stored in the liquid scale inhibitor storage tank is relatively insufficient. Timely replenishing the liquid scale inhibitor into the liquid scale inhibitor storage tank can meet the subsequent requirement of replenishing the scale inhibitor into the recirculated concentrated water, and effectively delay the calcification and fouling of the membrane elements.

[0085] S230: Obtain the liquid scale inhibitor with a target content that matches the flow rate of the current concentrated water in reflux from the liquid scale inhibitor storage tank through a jet ejector.

[0086] A jet ejector, also known as a water ejector, is a device used to generate the vacuum required for operation and to generate a solution. According to the flow rate of the current concentrated water in reflux and the preset content ratio of the liquid scale inhibitor, the target content of the liquid scale inhibitor to be aspirated currently can be determined.

[0087] Furthermore, the content of the liquid scale inhibitor can be increased as the pressure in front of the membrane increases and the flow rate of the concentrated water in reflux increases, which can delay the calcification and fouling of the membrane element and effectively protect the membrane element.

[0088] S240: Mix the liquid scale inhibitor with the target content with the current concentrated water in reflux through a jet ejector to obtain a first mixed liquid, and input the first mixed liquid into the reverse osmosis membrane filter element through a booster self-priming pump.

[0089] Specifically, mix the liquid scale inhibitor and the current concentrated water in reflux in the chamber of the jet ejector to obtain a first mixed liquid.

[0090] In an embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0091] Mix the tap water to be input into the reverse osmosis membrane filter element with the first mixed liquid through a booster self-priming pump to obtain a second mixed liquid;

[0092] Pressurize the second mixed liquid through a booster self-priming pump to input it into the reverse osmosis membrane filter element.

[0093] In the above embodiment, the tap water to be input into the reverse osmosis membrane filter element can be, as Figure 1 shown, the water filtered by the pretreatment filter element.

[0094] As can be seen from the above embodiment, in the purification process of the solution provided by the present application, according to the current hardness data of the tap water to be input into the reverse osmosis membrane filter element, the corresponding current operation gear is determined, so that the electric ball valve operates according to the current operation gear to effectively control the flow rate of the current concentrated water in reflux; at the same time, through a jet ejector, obtain the liquid scale inhibitor with a target content that matches the flow rate of the current concentrated water in reflux from the liquid scale inhibitor storage tank, and then mix the liquid scale inhibitor with the target content with the current concentrated water in reflux to obtain a first mixed liquid, and then input the first mixed liquid into the reverse osmosis membrane filter element through a booster self-priming pump. The present application effectively controls the flow rate of the current concentrated water in reflux in real time, improves the utilization effect of the concentrated water reflux, and further improves the purification effect. At the same time, it also controls the content of the liquid scale inhibitor in real time, which can effectively protect the membrane element and extend the service life of the device.

[0095] The embodiment of the present application also provides a concentrated water reflux control device, as Figure 3 shown. The device may include:

[0100] In an embodiment of the present application, the device further includes:

[0101] A first liquid level height determination module, configured to determine a first liquid level height at which a first liquid level float in the liquid scale inhibitor storage tank is located;

[0102] A liquid scale inhibitor replenishment module, configured to replenish liquid scale inhibitor into the liquid scale inhibitor storage tank until the first liquid level height reaches a second preset water level when the first liquid level height is lower than a first preset water level, and the first preset water level is lower than the second preset water level.

[0103] In an embodiment of the present application, the device further includes:

[0104] A second mixing module, configured to mix the tap water to be input to the reverse osmosis membrane filter element with the first mixed liquid through the booster self-priming pump to obtain a second mixed liquid;
