Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water supply system control technology, specifically relating to a central water supply and return system and equipment based on ceramic membrane reflux filtration. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of society and the economy, people's pursuit of quality of life is getting higher and higher. As one of the important urban infrastructures, the central water supply and return system is responsible for delivering tap water to users, ensuring the safe and reliable delivery of purified drinking water to each user. Therefore, a well-functioning central water supply and return system can provide urban residents with more reliable and convenient drinking water, increasing people's well-being and effectively safeguarding drinking water safety. With the acceleration of urbanization in my country, the scale of central water supply and return systems is constantly expanding, and the water quality safety risks of these systems are also increasing significantly, making the transformation and upgrading of the water supply and return system urgently needed.
[0003] Due to the complex structure and inherent vulnerability of water supply and return systems, they are susceptible to internal or external threats that can lead to water quality problems. For example, aging or damaged pipes can allow external contaminants to seep in; surrounding industrial activities and agricultural production may pollute water sources or supply pipelines. The safety of residents' daily water supply faces a severe test, making the optimized design of water quality monitoring systems of significant practical importance. By monitoring the water quality parameters of the supply and return water system pipelines, it is possible to confirm whether the water quality meets the national drinking water standards. Water quality monitoring can promptly detect substandard water quality within the supply and return water system network, allowing for appropriate treatment measures to prevent the spread of pollution, protect water quality safety, and provide residents with safe and reliable drinking water.
[0004] Meanwhile, maintaining appropriate water pressure within the supply and return water system is crucial for ensuring normal water usage for users. Low water pressure leads to insufficient water flow at the user's end, potentially failing to meet basic domestic water needs; for example, residents in high-rise buildings may experience water shortages due to insufficient pressure. Conversely, excessively high water pressure can damage pipes and water-using equipment, causing leaks in faucets and pipe joints. Therefore, to prevent serious accidents such as pipe ruptures and leaks due to pressure during normal operation, it is necessary to monitor the water pressure at each pipe node within the supply and return water system. When abnormal water pressure readings are detected, the water pressure within the supply and return water system can be adjusted promptly to ensure that the water pressure in each pipe remains stable within a reasonable range, thus guaranteeing the quality of the water supply.
[0005] However, existing methods require the deployment of pressure sensors at every pipe node in the supply and return water system for water pressure testing, and the large-scale deployment of sensors leads to high costs for water pressure testing. Moreover, existing central supply and return water systems do not simultaneously possess functions such as drinking water disinfection, pipe network self-cleaning, return filtration, water quality monitoring, and pipe water pressure testing.
[0006] In summary, to address the current problem that existing methods cannot simultaneously provide drinking water disinfection, pipeline self-cleaning, reflux filtration, water quality monitoring, and pipeline water pressure testing, and that water pressure testing is costly, it is urgent to propose a comprehensive water supply and return system. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems that existing methods cannot simultaneously possess the functions of drinking water disinfection, pipeline self-cleaning, reflux filtration, water quality monitoring and pipeline water pressure testing, as well as the high cost of water pressure testing. Therefore, this invention proposes a central water supply and return system and equipment based on ceramic membrane reflux filtration.
[0008] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a central water supply and return system based on ceramic membrane reflux filtration, wherein the system is equipped with a water supply module, a pipe network cleaning module, a water pressure detection module and a pipe burst early warning module;

[0014] Furthermore, the system prohibits user terminals from drawing water during pipeline cleaning.
[0015] Furthermore, the water quality monitoring module uses sensors to monitor water quality parameters in each pipe in real time, including pH, conductivity, TDS, residual chlorine, turbidity, and particle count.
[0016] Furthermore, the disinfection module uses chlorine dioxide, chlorine gas, ultraviolet light, or ozone to disinfect the water.
[0017] Furthermore, the mineralization module is equipped with a mineralization filter element for adding minerals to the water.
[0018] Furthermore, the water pressure detection module includes several pressure sensors, and the method for planning the distribution of the pressure sensors is as follows:

Furthermore, the method of this invention, through correlation analysis of water pressure at various nodes, can select representative nodes for water pressure monitoring, eliminating the need to deploy pressure sensors at every node. This significantly reduces the number of pressure sensors required, simplifies the structure of the water pressure detection system, and greatly reduces the cost of water pressure detection.

[0052] Figure 1 This is a framework diagram of a central water supply and return system based on ceramic membrane reflux filtration according to the present invention.
[0053] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of the pressure sensor distribution planning method. Detailed Implementation
[0054] Specific implementation method one: Combining Figure 1 This embodiment describes a central water supply and return system based on ceramic membrane reflux filtration. The system includes a water supply module, a pipe network cleaning module, a water pressure detection module, and a pipe burst early warning module.
[0055] The water supply module is used to input water from the clean water tank to the user terminal. In the actual water supply process, the water pump in the water supply module generates a pressure difference through the rotation of the impeller, and pumps water from the clean water tank into the water supply network. The power and head of the water pump are matched with the network resistance and the delivery distance.
[0056] The pipeline cleaning module is used to clean the pipelines of the system regularly. The cleaning method of the pipelines in the water supply network needs to be selected according to the pipeline material and system scale. Common physical cleaning methods include high-pressure water flushing, mechanical scraping, pipeline cleaning with a pig, and air-water mixed flushing. Common chemical cleaning methods include chemical cleaning and disinfectant cleaning. A combination of physical and chemical cleaning methods can also be used.
[0057] The water pressure detection module is a pressure sensor deployed on each pipe network of the system. The pressure sensor is used to detect the water pressure of each water supply pipe in the system. When the water pressure is abnormal, the pipe burst early warning module is used to issue an early warning.
[0058] This invention defines that when the water pressure at a certain monitoring node suddenly drops and continues for a period of time, or when the water pressure remains high and does not drop, when the monitoring node shows abnormal water pressure, the pipe burst early warning module issues an early warning, the water supply system remotely shuts down the valve, and after the pipe burst early warning is handled, the normal water supply to the user is restored.
[0059] The system's return water pipe is equipped with a ceramic membrane filtration module, a water quality monitoring module, a disinfection module, and a mineralization module.
[0060] The inlet of the ceramic membrane filtration module is connected to the return water pipe. Under the action of the water pump, the water in the return water pipe is processed through the ceramic membrane filtration module. After being filtered by the ceramic membrane filtration module, the water passes through the water quality monitoring module, the disinfection module and the mineralization module in sequence, and finally flows into the clean water tank.
[0061] The ceramic membrane filtration module of this invention is a porous membrane component prepared using ceramic materials as the substrate. Due to its high temperature resistance, strong chemical stability, and high mechanical strength, it can be applied in the field of water treatment. The ceramic membrane filtration module consists of a support, a transition layer, and a separation layer. The support is mostly honeycomb porous ceramic, providing mechanical strength and responsible for initial filtration and support. The transition layer is located between the support and the separation layer, reducing defects during the preparation of the separation layer and improving the membrane uniformity. The separation layer is a porous thin film with a porous surface, used to achieve precise filtration. The support, transition layer, and separation layer are modularly encapsulated, and both ends of the encapsulated ceramic membrane filtration module are sealed.
[0062] The central water supply and return system of this invention can integrate an expert monitoring platform, enabling remote real-time monitoring of equipment operating status and remote operation control. It possesses functions such as real-time monitoring, fault diagnosis, and health assessment, improving equipment operational reliability and maintenance efficiency. Furthermore, the system can also integrate a water supply and return volume monitoring module to monitor water consumption and facilitate water volume verification with terminal water meters.

[0072] Specific Implementation Method Six: Combination Figure 2 This embodiment is described below.

The water pressure at each node under the current network condition is denoted as follows: After changing the pipeline status (by adjusting the pipeline pressure within the pipeline network at the water supply end), The water pressure at each node under the new pipeline network condition is denoted as follows: ;

[0075] Step 2: Analyze the water pressure correlation matrix. After standardization, the standardized water pressure correlation matrix is obtained. ;
[0076] Step 3: Based on the standardized water pressure correlation matrix Calculate matrix :
[0077] Step 4: Based on the matrix The results of the pressure sensor distribution planning were obtained.
[0078] The other steps and parameters are the same as those in one of the specific implementation methods one to five.
[0079] Specific Implementation Method Seven: This implementation method differs from Specific Implementation Methods One through Six in that the calculation based on water pressure changes... The node and the first Water pressure correlation of each node Specifically:
[0080]
[0081] in, ;
[0082] Then the water pressure correlation matrix for:
[0083]
[0084] The other steps and parameters are the same as those in one of the specific implementation methods one to six.
[0085] This implementation method, based on the changes in the pipeline network status, [is as follows:] the first... The rate of change of water pressure at the first node and the first The rate of change of water pressure at node n determines the first The node and the first The water pressure correlation of nodes is considered in this invention because the rate of change of water pressure can reflect the sensitivity of nodes to changes in system water pressure. Therefore, this invention proposes that nodes with similar rates of change of water pressure have a greater water pressure correlation.

[0107] Step 45: Deploy pressure sensors at all monitoring nodes identified throughout the iteration process to complete the distribution planning of pressure sensors.
