Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of drinking water regulation, and in particular to a novel intelligent water purification system. Background Technology
[0002] As living standards improve, the standards for drinking water are gradually increasing. Currently, RO filtration membranes are commonly used to filter water. However, this method may cause minerals in the water to be filtered out along with pollutants, which does not have any beneficial effect on the health of users.
[0003] Current drinking water conditioning technologies typically rely solely on membrane filtration, which can lead to mineral deficiencies and health problems. Furthermore, existing technologies lack sufficient automation, often requiring manual operation to turn the water source on and off for filtration to be effective. They also lack sufficient intelligence, typically failing to automatically adjust the TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) level of the water flow or adapt to user habits. Summary of the Invention
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a novel intelligent water purification system to overcome the shortcomings of existing water purification systems, such as insufficient automation, insufficient intelligence, and the potential for health problems due to mineral loss after water purification.
[0005] (II) Technical Solution To address the aforementioned technical problem, a first aspect of the present invention provides a novel intelligent water purification system, comprising: The water inlet module is connected in parallel with the water inlet solenoid valve, the first pressure transmitter, and the manual ball valve. The water inlet solenoid valve is used to control the flow of water. The first pressure transmitter is used to detect the water inlet pressure PI. The manual ball valve is connected to the drinking water outlet. In an emergency, the user can use the backup water source by opening the manual ball valve. The filter module has its inlet end connected to the inlet solenoid valve and its other end connected to the flow meter. The filter module provides filtered water to the flow meter, which is used to detect the flow rate of the filtered water. The flow meter is connected in sequence to a first pressure reducing valve and a first check valve. The first pressure reducing valve is used to stabilize the water supply pressure, and the first check valve is used to prevent water backflow. A mixing water module is connected in sequence to a third water pump and a second one-way valve. The second one-way valve and the first one-way valve merge in a first pipeline and are connected to the direct drinking water outlet. A sensor is provided in the first pipeline to detect the TDS value and flow rate of the mixed direct drinking water. The control module receives signals from the outside world and processes and compares these signals. The control module includes a signal receiver and a central processing unit (CPU). The signal receiver is connected to and receives signals from the first pressure transmitter and the sensor. The CPU has a TDS (Total Displacement of Water) threshold setting. When the mixing water system is turned on, the CPU receives and compares the TDS value detected by the sensor with the TDS threshold in real time. When the TDS value is greater than the TDS threshold, the CPU adjusts the output flow rate of the third water pump to decrease; when the TDS value is less than the TDS threshold, the CPU adjusts the output flow rate of the third water pump to increase. The CPU also includes a training model that trains on data and automatically adjusts to meet the user's daily habits and needs.
[0006] As described above, the novel intelligent water purification system may optionally include a filtration module comprising a first water pump, a second water pump, a first RO membrane, a second RO membrane, and a drain outlet. The first water pump is connected to the first RO membrane, the second water pump is connected to the second RO membrane, the first RO membrane and the second RO membrane are connected to the drain outlet, and the first RO membrane and the second RO membrane are connected to the flow meter. The first water pump and the second water pump provide power to the first RO membrane and the second RO membrane, and the first RO membrane and the second RO membrane filter the water flow.
[0007] As described above, the novel intelligent water purification system may optionally include a first wastewater proportional valve and a second wastewater proportional valve between the first RO membrane and the second RO membrane and the drain outlet.
[0008] As described above, in the novel intelligent water purification system, optionally, a second pressure transmitter is provided between the first water pump and the first RO membrane, and a third pressure transmitter is provided between the second water pump and the second RO membrane. The second pressure transmitter is used to detect the working pressure PB1 at the first water pump, and the third pressure transmitter is used to detect the working pressure PB2 at the second water pump.
[0009] As described above, in the novel intelligent water purification system, optionally, the second pressure transmitter and the third pressure transmitter are connected to the control module. When the working pressure PB1 or PB2 at the first or second water pump is greater than the standard pressure PG, the control module determines that the first or second RO membrane is blocked. When the working pressure PB1 or PB2 at the first or second water pump is less than the standard pressure PG, the control module determines that the first or second RO membrane is faulty.
[0010] As described above, in the novel intelligent water purification system, optionally, a fourth pressure transmitter and a water storage tank are connected in parallel between the flow meter and the first pressure reducing valve. The water storage tank is used to store RO water, and the fourth pressure transmitter is used to detect the water pressure PR in the water storage tank.
[0011] As described above, in the novel intelligent water purification system, optionally, the fourth pressure transmitter is connected to the control module, and the control module determines the water storage status of the water storage tank based on the pressure of the fourth pressure transmitter.
[0012] As described above, in the novel intelligent water purification system, optionally, the sensor is connected to the third one-way valve, the output end of the third one-way valve is connected to the manual ball valve, both the third one-way valve and the manual ball valve are connected to a UV lamp, the UV lamp performs secondary disinfection on the output water flow, and the UV lamp is connected to the direct drinking water outlet.

[0014] As described above, the novel intelligent water purification system may optionally include an external display device connected to the control module, which displays the data in a visual manner, and a second pressure reducing valve between the mixing water module and the third water pump.
[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects The present invention provides a novel intelligent water purification system, the beneficial effects of which are as follows: This invention receives data from the first, second, third, and fourth pressure transmitters via a control module, and determines the operating status of each module based on the data. When a malfunction is detected, the control module triggers an alarm, thereby facilitating quick location of the fault and simplifying maintenance.
[0016] The control module of this invention includes a training model that can be trained on the user's daily usage habits, thereby automatically adjusting the user's water usage habits. This approach improves the user experience.

[0026] The technical solutions provided by the various embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] See Figure 1 This invention provides a novel intelligent water purification system, comprising: a water inlet module 1, a filtration module 5, a mixing water module 9, and a direct drinking water outlet 13. The water inlet module 1 connects to an external water source. The water flowing from the water inlet module 1 passes through the filtration module 5, which filters the water to produce purified water. However, this purified water lacks essential minerals and is not beneficial to the health of the drinker. Therefore, the mixing water module 9 adds mixing water to the filtered purified water, thereby altering the TDS value of the water. This invention can also generate a training model based on user needs through a control module 15, thereby achieving automated adjustment. Furthermore, this invention can provide timely feedback to adjust the TDS value of the water to the user's desired level.
[0028] exist Figure 1 In an optional embodiment, the water inlet module 1 is connected to the water inlet solenoid valve 2, the first pressure transmitter 3, and the manual ball valve 4. The water inlet solenoid valve 2 controls the flow of water, the first pressure transmitter 3 detects the inlet pressure PI, and the manual ball valve 4 is connected to the drinking water inlet 13. In an emergency, the user can access drinking water by opening the manual ball valve 4.
[0029] Furthermore, when the user opens the manual ball valve 4, water can flow from the manual ball valve 4 into the UV lamp 30, which disinfects the water before it is output from the drinking water outlet 13. This design ensures that users can quickly access water in emergencies. It should be noted that if the value of the first pressure transmitter 3 is abnormal, or if the water inlet module 1 or the manual ball valve 4 malfunctions, those skilled in the art can quickly locate and repair the fault by checking and determining the cause of the malfunction.
[0030] exist Figure 1 In an optional embodiment, the inlet end of the filter module 5 is connected to the inlet solenoid valve 2, and the other end of the filter module 5 is connected to the flow meter 6. The filter module 5 provides filtered water to the flow meter 6, and the flow meter 6 is used to detect the flow rate of the filtered water after the filter module 5. The flow meter 6 is connected in sequence to the first pressure reducing valve 7 and the first one-way valve 8. The first pressure reducing valve 7 is used to stabilize the water supply pressure, and the first one-way valve 8 is used to prevent water backflow.
[0031] Furthermore, the filtration module 5 includes a first water pump 18, a second water pump 19, a first RO membrane 20, a second RO membrane 21, and a drain outlet 22. The first water pump 18 is connected to the first RO membrane 20, the second water pump 19 is connected to the second RO membrane 21, the first RO membrane 20 and the second RO membrane 21 are connected to the drain outlet 22, and the first RO membrane 20 and the second RO membrane 21 are connected to the flow meter 6. The first water pump 18 and the second water pump 19 provide power to the first RO membrane 20 and the second RO membrane 21, and the first RO membrane 20 and the second RO membrane 21 filter the water flow.
[0032] Furthermore, the first RO membrane 20 and the second RO membrane 21 are respectively connected to the sewage outlet 22 by a first wastewater proportional valve 23 and a second wastewater proportional valve 24.
[0033] Furthermore, a second pressure transmitter 25 is provided between the first water pump 18 and the first RO membrane 20, and a third pressure transmitter 26 is provided between the second water pump 19 and the second RO membrane 21. The second pressure transmitter 25 is used to detect the working pressure PB1 at the first water pump 18, and the third pressure transmitter 26 is used to detect the working pressure PB2 at the second water pump 19.
[0034] Furthermore, the second pressure transmitter 25 and the third pressure transmitter 26 are connected to the control module 15. When the working pressure PB1 or PB2 at the first water pump 18 or the second water pump 19 is greater than the standard pressure PG, the control module 15 determines that the first RO membrane 20 or the second RO membrane 21 is blocked. When the working pressure PB1 or PB2 at the first water pump 18 or the second water pump 19 is less than the standard pressure PG, the control module 15 determines that the first RO membrane 20 or the second RO membrane 21 is faulty.
[0035] Therefore, this design can effectively determine whether the first RO membrane 20 and the second RO membrane 21 have malfunctioned through the judgment module, thus improving the ability to judge the status of the first RO membrane 20 and the second RO membrane 21.
[0036] exist Figure 1 In an optional embodiment, a fourth pressure transmitter 27 and a water storage tank 28 are connected in parallel between the flow meter 6 and the first pressure reducing valve 7. The water storage tank 28 is used to store RO water, and the fourth pressure transmitter 27 is used to detect the water pressure PR in the water storage tank 28. The first pressure reducing valve 7 is used to stabilize the pressure.
[0037] Furthermore, the fourth pressure transmitter 27 is connected to the control module 15, which determines the water storage status of the storage tank 28 based on the pressure from the fourth pressure transmitter 27. When the control module 15 determines that the water storage tank 28 has low water levels, it controls the first water pump 18 and the second water pump 19 to rapidly supply water, thereby accelerating the filtration of purified water and storing it in the storage tank 28. Simultaneously, the storage tank 28 can rapidly output filtered purified water when the user requires a large quantity.
[0038] Furthermore, sensor 14 is connected to third check valve 29, the output end of third check valve 29 is connected to manual ball valve 4, both third check valve 29 and manual ball valve 4 are connected to UV lamp 30, UV lamp 30 performs secondary disinfection on the output water flow, and UV lamp 30 is connected to drinking water outlet 13.
[0039] Furthermore, the control module 15 is externally connected to a display device, which displays the data. A second pressure reducing valve 31 is located between the mixing water module 9 and the third water pump 10. The second pressure reducing valve 31 can be used to stabilize the pressure of the mixed water.
[0040] The mixing water module 9 is connected in sequence to the third water pump 10 and the second one-way valve 11. The second one-way valve 11 and the first one-way valve 8 merge in the first pipeline 12 and are connected to the direct drinking water outlet 13 for output. The first pipeline 12 has a sensor 14, which is used to detect the TDS value and flow rate of the mixed direct drinking water. The first one-way valve 8 is used to prevent the mixed water from flowing back, thereby avoiding contamination of the water storage tank 28.
[0041] Furthermore, when the sensor 14 detects a flow rate of zero, the third water pump 10 is shut off, the inlet pressure of the second check valve 11 is less than the opening pressure, and the second check valve 11 is not open. When the sensor 14 detects a flow rate of non-zero, the second water pump 19 is started, the inlet pressure of the second check valve 11 is greater than the opening pressure, and the second check valve 11 is open.
[0042] The control module 15 receives signals from the outside world and processes and compares the signals. The control module 15 has a signal receiver 16 and a central processing unit 17. The signal receiver 16 is connected to and receives signals from the first pressure transmitter 3 and the sensor 14. The central processing unit 17 has a TDS setting threshold. When the mixing water system is turned on, the central processing unit 17 receives and compares the TDS value detected by the sensor 14 with the TDS setting threshold in real time. When the TDS value is greater than the TDS setting threshold, the central processing unit 17 adjusts the output of the third water pump 10 to reduce the mixed water flow rate. When the TDS value is less than the TDS setting threshold, the central processing unit 17 adjusts the output of the third water pump 10 to increase the mixed water flow rate. The central processing unit 17 has a training model. The training model trains on the data and automatically adjusts to the user's daily habits and needs.
[0043] It should be noted that users can adjust the required TDS value through the display device. The display device can provide feedback to the control module 15. The central processing unit 17 in the control module 15 controls the voltage of the first water pump 18, the second water pump 19 and the third water pump 10, thereby changing their working efficiency. In this way, the TDS value of the output water can be precisely adjusted.
[0044] The same or similar parts between the various embodiments in this specification can be referred to mutually. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments.
[0045] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
