[0024] Example 1: like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a water purification device with hot and warm water functions, including a filtration module 1, a heating module 2, and a hot water delivery module 3. The filtration module 1 includes a filtration unit 14 and a domestic water outlet unit 11 connected to the filtration unit 14. The domestic water outlet unit 11 is used to output domestic water filtered by the filtration unit 14. The heating module 2 includes a heating tank unit 21, which is used to store and heat water. The hot water delivery module 3 is connected to the heating tank unit 21 and the domestic water outlet unit 11, and is used to deliver the hot water in the heating tank unit 21 to the domestic water outlet unit 11, so that the hot water and domestic water mix in the domestic water outlet unit 11 to form warm water and output it.
[0025] In this embodiment, the filtration module 1 filters tap water to obtain domestic water for daily use and purified water for direct drinking. The filtered domestic water is output through the domestic water outlet unit 11. The heating tank unit 21 has a heating function and can store the heated hot water in the heating tank unit 21. Since the hot water delivery module 3 is connected to the heating tank unit 21 and the domestic water outlet unit 11, when the user sends a command to the water purification equipment to obtain warm domestic water, the heating tank unit 21 delivers the heated hot water to the domestic water outlet unit 11 through the hot water delivery module 3. In the hot water outlet unit 11, the hot water heated by the heating tank unit 21 mixes with the room-temperature domestic water in the domestic water outlet unit 11, thus forming warm domestic water. Users can obtain warm domestic water according to their actual needs; for example, when washing dishes, users can use the warm domestic water from the domestic water outlet unit 11 to wash dishes, greatly improving the cleaning effect of grease. Furthermore, in low-temperature environments, users can greatly improve their user experience by using the warm domestic water from the domestic water outlet unit 11. Moreover, the heating tank unit 21 can store hot water in advance, so that a large amount of hot water can be provided when the user needs it. Therefore, when washing dishes, if a large amount of warm water is needed, compared to the slow output of instant hot water, this embodiment provides a large amount of hot water through the heating tank unit to meet the user's needs.
[0026] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the hot water delivery module 3 includes a second delivery pipe section 33; the hot water tank unit 21 includes a hot water tank 211; the inlet end of the second delivery pipe section 33 is connected to the hot water tank 211, and the outlet end of the second delivery pipe section 33 is connected to the domestic water outlet unit 11; a delivery pump 331 and a second delivery check valve 332 are sequentially arranged on the second delivery pipe section 33; and / or, the hot water delivery module 3 includes a water replenishment pipe section 32; the inlet end of the water replenishment pipe section 32 is connected to the domestic water output end or the purified water output end of the filter unit 14, and the outlet end of the water replenishment pipe section 32 is connected to the hot water tank 211 for replenishing water to the hot water tank 211; a water replenishment valve 321 is arranged on the water replenishment pipe section 32.
[0027] In this embodiment, the inlet end of the second conveying pipe section 33 is connected to the hot water tank 211, and the outlet end of the second conveying pipe section 33 is connected to the domestic water outlet unit 11. The second conveying pipe section 33 is sequentially equipped with a conveying pump 331 and a second conveying check valve 332. The hot water from the hot water tank 211 can be conveyed to the domestic water pipe section 111 through the second conveying pipe section 33 under the action of the conveying pump 331, and mixed with the room temperature domestic water in the domestic water pipe section 111 to raise the temperature of the room temperature domestic water to form warm domestic water, which is then output through the domestic water pipe section 111 for user use. The second conveying check valve 332 can prevent the domestic water in the domestic water pipe section 111 from flowing back into the hot water tank 211. When the hot water in the hot water tank unit 21 is delivered to the domestic water pipe section 111, the water level detected by the water level detection device 2112 in the hot water tank 211 drops. Since the inlet end of the water supply pipe section 32 is connected to the pure water connection pipe section 121, and the inlet end of the water supply pipe section 32 is located between the second flow regulating valve 1215 and the outlet end of the pure water connection pipe section 121, and the outlet end of the water supply pipe section 32 is connected to the hot water tank 211, a water supply valve 321 is provided on the water supply pipe section 32. The water supply valve 321 can be a solenoid valve. When the water supply valve 321 is opened, the room temperature pure water in the pure water connection pipe section 121 is delivered to the hot water tank 211 through the water supply pipe section 32 to replenish the water in the hot water tank 211 and prevent the water level in the hot water tank 211 from being too low.
[0028] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the heating module 2 further includes a heat exchange unit 22, which has a heat exchange channel and a water channel. The heating tank unit 21 is connected to the heat exchange channel to provide hot water to the heat exchange channel. The filtration module 1 further includes a pure water outlet unit 12. The pure water outlet unit 12 includes a pure water connecting pipe section 121 and a pure water outlet pipe section 122. The inlet end of the pure water connecting pipe section 121 is connected to the purified water output end of the filtration unit 14 to transport pure water filtered by the filtration unit 14. The two ends of the water channel are respectively connected to the outlet end of the pure water connecting pipe section 121 and the inlet end of the pure water outlet pipe section 122. The pure water flowing through the water channel exchanges heat with the hot water flowing through the heat exchange channel to form hot water, which is then output along the pure water outlet pipe section 122.
[0029] In this embodiment, the pure water filtered by the filtration module 1 is output through the pure water outlet unit 12; the heating tank unit 21 has a heating function and can exchange heat between the heated hot water and the room temperature pure water in the pure water outlet unit 12. The pure water flowing through the water channel and the hot water flowing through the heat exchange channel exchange heat to form hot water, which is then output along the pure water outlet pipe section 122. Users can take warm pure water from the pure water outlet unit 12 for drinking without additional heating, which greatly improves the user experience.
[0030] like Figure 1-3As shown, the heat exchange unit 22 includes a heat exchanger 221, a first circulation pipe section 222, and a second circulation pipe section 223; both the heat exchange channel and the water channel are located in the heat exchanger 221; the heat exchange channel has a circulating water inlet and a circulating water outlet; the hot tank unit 21 also includes a heater 212, which is located inside the hot tank 211 and is used to heat the water inside the hot tank 211; the inlet of the first circulation pipe section 222 is connected to the hot tank 211, and the first circulation pipe section 222... The outlet of 22 is connected to the inlet of the circulating water; the inlet of the second circulating pipe section 223 is connected to the outlet of the circulating water, and the outlet of the second circulating pipe section 223 is connected to the hot water tank 211; a circulating water pump 2231 is provided on the first circulating pipe section 222 or the second circulating pipe section 223; the water channel has a normal temperature water inlet and a hot water outlet, the outlet of the pure water connecting pipe section 121 is connected to the normal temperature water inlet, and the inlet of the pure water outlet pipe section 122 is connected to the hot water outlet.
[0031] In this embodiment, the hot tank unit 21 includes a hot tank 211 and a heater 212. The heater 212 is disposed inside the hot tank 211. The heater 212 can be a heating element or a heating plate, etc., which is not limited here. The water in the hot tank 211 is heated by the heater 212. A temperature probe 2111 and a water level detection element 2112 are disposed on the upper part of the hot tank 211. The temperature probe 2111 can detect the temperature of the hot water in the hot tank 211, and the water level detection element 2112 can detect the water level in the hot tank 211. The water level detection element 2112 can be a water level gauge or a float, etc. The outlet of the first circulation pipe section 222 is connected to the circulating water inlet of the heat exchanger 221, and the inlet of the second circulation pipe section 223 is connected to the circulating water outlet of the heat exchanger 221. The outlet of the second circulation pipe section 223 is also connected to the heat tank 211. When a user needs warm pure water, the room temperature pure water in the pure water connection pipe section 121 can be heated. Specifically, room temperature pure water is transported from the pure water connection pipe section 121 to the room temperature water inlet of the heat exchanger 221, and then enters the heat exchange channel of the heat exchanger 221. Meanwhile, the hot water in the heat tank 211 is transported to the heat exchanger 221 through the first circulation pipe. At the circulating water inlet of the heat exchanger 221, hot water enters another heat exchange channel of the heat exchanger 221. Room temperature pure water and hot water exchange heat in the heat exchanger 221 to raise the temperature of the room temperature pure water to warm pure water. The warm pure water after heat exchange is output from the hot water outlet of the heat exchanger 221 into the pure water outlet pipe section 122, and then output through the pure water outlet pipe section 122 for users to drink. The hot water after heat exchange is output from the circulating water outlet of the heat exchanger 221 and enters the second circulation pipe section 223, and then flows back to the heat tank 211 through the second circulation pipe section 223, completing the heat exchange and heating process of the room temperature pure water. A circulating water pump 2231 and a circulating valve 2232 are sequentially installed on the second circulation pipe section 223. The circulating valve is a solenoid valve, which facilitates the control of the opening and closing of the second circulation pipe section 223. The circulating water pump 2231 is installed on the second circulation pipe section 223. After the hot water in the heat tank 211 is cooled by heat exchanger 221, it is pumped into the heat tank 211 by the circulating water pump 2231. This can effectively prevent the water vapor generated by the hot water from affecting the power of the circulating water pump 2231 and improve the circulation capacity of the heat tank unit 21. In this way, the heating effect of the heat tank unit 21 on room temperature pure water can be greatly improved.
[0032] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in one embodiment, the hot tank unit 21 also includes an exhaust pipe section 213 and an air replenishment pipe section 214. Both the exhaust pipe section 213 and the air replenishment pipe section 214 are connected to the hot tank 211. The exhaust pipe section 213 and the air replenishment pipe section 214 are used to exhaust or replenish air in the hot tank 211 to ensure the air pressure balance in the hot tank 211.
[0033] like Figure 1-3As shown, the hot water delivery module 3 includes a first delivery pipe section 31; a first delivery valve 311 is provided on the first delivery pipe section 31; a second circulation pipe section 223 is also provided with a circulation valve 2232, and the circulation pump 2231 and the circulation valve 2232 are sequentially arranged in the second circulation pipe section 223 along the water flow delivery direction; the inlet end of the first delivery pipe section 31 is connected to the second circulation pipe section 223 and is located between the circulation pump 2231 and the circulation valve 2232, and the outlet end of the first delivery pipe section 31 is connected to the domestic water outlet unit 11; or the first circulation pipe section 222 is also provided with a circulation valve 2232, and the circulation pump 2231 and the circulation valve 2232 are sequentially arranged in the first circulation pipe section 222 along the water flow delivery direction, and the inlet end of the first delivery pipe section 31 is connected to the first circulation pipe section 222 and is located between the circulation pump 2231 and the circulation valve 2232.
[0034] In this embodiment, since the inlet end of the first conveying pipe section 31 is connected to the second circulation pipe section 223, and the inlet end of the first conveying pipe section 31 is located between the circulating water pump 2231 and the circulation valve 2232, and the outlet end of the first conveying pipe section 31 is connected to the domestic water outlet unit 11, when the user needs to use warm or room temperature water, a command to obtain warm or room temperature water is issued to the water purification equipment. At this time, the room temperature pure water in the pure water connection pipe section 121 is cut off from entering the heat exchanger 221, and the heat tank 211 in the heat tank 211 flows from the first circulation pipe section 222... The hot water enters heat exchanger 221 and then flows into the second circulation pipe section 223. Since no ambient temperature pure water enters heat exchanger 221, it only serves as a flow channel for hot water. The hot water entering the second circulation pipe section 223 is then transported to the first delivery pipe section 31, which in turn allows the hot water to enter the domestic water outlet unit 11 and mix with the ambient temperature domestic water in the domestic water outlet unit 11, thus raising the temperature of the ambient temperature domestic water to form warm domestic water, which is then output to users through the domestic water outlet unit 11. The first delivery pipe section 31 is sequentially equipped with a first delivery valve 311 and a first delivery check valve 312. The first delivery valve 311 is a solenoid valve that controls the opening and closing of the first delivery pipe section 31, and the first delivery check valve 312 prevents the domestic water in the domestic water outlet unit 11 from flowing back into the second circulation pipe section 223. When hot water from the hot water tank 211 is delivered to the domestic water outlet unit 11, the water level detected by the water level detection device 2112 in the hot water tank 211 drops. Since the inlet of the water supply pipe section 32 is connected to the pure water connection pipe section 121, and the inlet of the water supply pipe section 32 is located between the second flow regulating valve 1215 and the outlet of the pure water connection pipe section 121, and the outlet of the water supply pipe section 32 is connected to the hot water tank 211, a water supply valve 321 is provided on the water supply pipe section 32. The water supply valve 321 can be a solenoid valve. When the water supply valve 321 is opened, the room temperature pure water in the pure water connection pipe section 121 is delivered to the hot water tank 211 through the water supply pipe section 32 to replenish the water in the hot water tank 211 and prevent the water level in the hot water tank 211 from being too low.
[0035] like Figure 2As shown, the hot water delivery module 3 may also include a second delivery pipe section 33. The inlet end of the second delivery pipe section 33 is connected to the hot water tank 211, and the outlet end of the second delivery pipe section 33 is connected to the domestic water pipe section 111. A delivery pump 331 and a second delivery check valve 332 are sequentially installed on the second delivery pipe section 33. The hot water from the hot water tank 211 can be delivered to the domestic water pipe section 111 through the second delivery pipe section 33 under the action of the delivery pump 331, where it mixes with the room temperature domestic water in the domestic water pipe section 111 to raise the temperature of the room temperature domestic water and form warm domestic water. This warm domestic water is then output through the domestic water pipe section 111 for user use. The second delivery check valve 332 can prevent the domestic water in the domestic water pipe section 111 from flowing back into the hot water tank 211. In this water purification equipment, hot water can be delivered to the domestic water pipe section 111 through both the first delivery pipe section 31 and the second delivery pipe section 33, or only one of them can be used to deliver hot water to the domestic water pipe section 111.
[0036] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the heating module 2 further includes a heating unit 23; the heating unit 23 includes a parallel pipe section 231 and a heating element 232. The inlet end of the parallel pipe section 231 is connected to the pure water connecting pipe section 121, and the outlet end of the parallel pipe section 231 is connected to the pure water outlet pipe section 122. The heating element 232 is disposed on the pure water outlet pipe section 122, and the heating element 232 is located between the outlet end of the parallel pipe section 231 and the outlet end of the pure water outlet pipe section 122. A first heating valve 1216 is disposed on the pure water connecting pipe section 121, and a second heating valve 2311 is disposed on the parallel pipe section 231. The inlet end of the parallel pipe section 231 is located between the inlet end of the pure water connecting pipe section 121 and the first heating valve 1216.
[0037] In this embodiment, the inlet end of the parallel pipe section 231 is connected to the pure water connection pipe section 121, and the outlet end of the parallel pipe section 231 is connected to the pure water outlet pipe section 122. The heating element 232 is disposed on the pure water outlet pipe section 122, and the heating element 232 is located between the outlet end of the parallel pipe section 231 and the outlet end of the pure water outlet pipe section 122. The heating element 232 is a thick film heater. When the user needs to obtain warm pure water at different temperatures, the second flow regulating valve 1 is controlled. 215 allows room temperature pure water with different proportions to enter heat exchanger 221 and parallel pipe section 231. The room temperature pure water entering heat exchanger 221 is heated by heat exchange with hot water in hot tank 211 and then enters pure water outlet pipe section 122. It is then mixed with room temperature pure water in parallel pipe section 231. The temperature of the mixture reaches the target temperature before entering heating element 232. Finally, it is heated by heating element 232 and outputs warm pure water at the temperature required by the user from pure water outlet pipe section 122. It should be noted that the connection section between the parallel pipe section 231 and the pure water connection pipe section 121 and the heat exchanger 221 has a flow-blocking structure inside, so that the flow rate from the pure water connection pipe section 121 into the heat exchanger 221 and into the parallel pipe section 231 has a flow ratio. When the user needs to obtain warm pure water at different temperatures, the circulation efficiency of the circulating pump in the second flow regulating valve 1215 and the hot tank unit 21 can be adjusted so that the pure water after heat exchange from the heat exchanger 221 and the room temperature pure water in the parallel pipe section 231 are mixed to reach a specific temperature, and then the pure water at the temperature required by the user is heated and output through the heating element 232.
[0038] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the heating module 2 further includes a sterilization unit 24; the sterilization unit 24 includes a sterilization pipe section 241 and a sterilization pump 242. The water inlet of the sterilization pipe section 241 is connected to the heating tank unit 21, and the water outlet of the sterilization pipe section 241 is connected to the pure water outlet unit 12. The sterilization pump 242 is disposed on the sterilization pipe section 241 and is used to transport the hot water in the heating tank unit 21 along the sterilization pipe section 241 to the pure water outlet unit 12 to sterilize the pure water outlet unit 12 and / or the devices connected to the pure water outlet unit 12.
[0039] In this embodiment, the inlet end of the sterilization pipe section 241 is connected to the hot tank 211 of the hot tank unit 21, and the outlet end of the sterilization pipe section 241 is connected to the pure water connection pipe section 121 of the pure water unit 12. The outlet end of the sterilization pipe section 241 is located between the second detection element 1213 and the second flow regulating valve 1215. The sterilization pump 242 is installed on the sterilization pipe section 241. When the user needs to sterilize the water purification equipment, he / she sends a command to the water purification equipment, and the water purification equipment controls the sterilization pump 242. When started, the sterilization pump 242 pumps the high-temperature hot water in the hot tank 211 to the pure water connection pipe section 121, thereby achieving high-temperature sterilization of the pure water outlet unit 12 after the first flow regulating valve 1112 and / or the devices connected to the pure water outlet unit 12, ensuring the user's water safety. A sterilization check valve 2411 is provided on the sterilization pipe section 241, which can ensure that the hot water in the hot tank 211 can only flow into the pure water connection pipe section 121.
[0040] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the filtration module 1 further includes a water inlet unit 13 and a filtration unit 14; the water inlet unit 13 includes a water inlet pipe section 131, the water inlet end of which is connected to an external device; the filtration unit 14 includes a pre-filter element 141, a reverse osmosis filter element 142, a post-filter element 143, a first connecting pipe section 144, a second connecting pipe section 145, and a wastewater pipe section 146; the water outlet end of the water inlet pipe section 131 is connected to the water inlet end of the pre-filter element 141; the water inlet end of the first connecting pipe section 144 is connected to the water outlet end of the pre-filter element 141, and the water outlet end of the first connecting pipe section 144 is connected to the water inlet end of the reverse osmosis filter element 142; a valve body 1441 and a booster pump 1442 are sequentially arranged on the first connecting pipe section 144. The inlet end of the second connecting pipe section 145 is connected to the outlet end of the reverse osmosis filter element 142, and the outlet end of the post-filter element 143 is used to output pure water. The outlet end of the second connecting pipe section 145 is connected to the inlet end of the post-filter element 143. The inlet end of the pure water outlet unit 12 is connected to the outlet end of the post-filter element 143. The inlet end of the wastewater pipe section 146 is connected to the wastewater end of the reverse osmosis filter element 142. The wastewater pipe section 146 is sequentially provided with a first detection element 1461 and a wastewater valve 1462. The inlet end of the domestic water outlet unit 11 is connected to the first connecting pipe section 144, and the inlet end of the domestic water outlet unit 11 is located between the inlet end of the first connecting pipe section 144 and the valve body 1441.
[0041] In this embodiment, tap water is input into the water inlet unit 13. The tap water is filtered by the pre-filter cartridge 141 after passing through the water inlet unit 13 to form domestic water. Specifically, the water inlet unit 13 includes a water inlet pipe section 131. The water inlet end of the water inlet pipe section 131 is connected to an external device, which can be a municipal water supply device. A solenoid valve can be installed on the water inlet pipe section 131 to control the connection of the water inlet pipe section 131, that is, to control the water supply device to send the tap water through the water inlet pipe section 131 to the filter module 1 for filtration. It should be noted that the pre-filter cartridge 141 is a PPC filter cartridge. The domestic water formed after the tap water input into the water inlet pipe section 131 is filtered by the pre-filter cartridge 141 can be used by users to wash fruits and vegetables, dishes, etc. The inlet end of the first connecting pipe section 144 is connected to the outlet end of the pre-filter 141, and the outlet end of the first connecting pipe section 144 is connected to the inlet end of the reverse osmosis filter 142. The inlet end of the second connecting pipe section 145 is connected to the pure water end of the reverse osmosis filter 142, and the outlet end of the second connecting pipe section 145 is connected to the inlet end of the post-filter 143. The inlet end of the pure water outlet unit 12 is connected to the outlet end of the post-filter 143. The inlet end of the wastewater pipe section 146 is connected to the wastewater end of the reverse osmosis filter 142. The tap water filtered by the pre-filter 141 forms domestic water, which is then transported to the reverse osmosis filter 142 via the first connecting pipe section 144. After being filtered by the reverse osmosis filter 142, the domestic water outputs pure water at the pure water end of the reverse osmosis filter 142. The product generated after reverse osmosis filtration... Wastewater is discharged through the wastewater end into wastewater pipe section 146, and then discharged to the outside, such as into the sewer. Wastewater pipe section 146 is equipped with a first detection element 1461 and a wastewater valve 1462. The first detection element 1461 can be a TDS probe to detect the TDS value of the discharged wastewater. Wastewater valve 1462 can be a solenoid valve to facilitate the control of the opening and closing of wastewater pipe section 146. The pure water formed after filtration by reverse osmosis filter element 142 enters the second connecting pipe section 145 and then enters the post-filter element 143. The post-filter element 143 can be a PPC filter element. After further filtration by the post-filter element 143, the pure water enters the pure water outlet unit 12 for users to drink directly. For example, it can be directly output for drinking through the faucet, or it can be output for drinking after being heated, cooled, or made into ice.A valve body 1441 and a booster pump 1442 are sequentially installed on the first connecting pipe section 144. The inlet end of the domestic water outlet unit 11 is connected to the first connecting pipe section 144, and the inlet end of the domestic water outlet unit 11 is located between the inlet end of the first connecting pipe section 144 and the valve body 1441. The valve body 1441 can be a solenoid valve to control the opening and closing of the first connecting pipe section 144. When the user only needs to output domestic water, the valve body 1441 is closed, and tap water is transported to the pre-filter 141 for filtration through the inlet pipe section 131. Domestic water is formed and enters the first connecting pipe section 144. Since the valve body 1441 on the first connecting pipe section 144 is closed and the domestic water outlet unit 11 is in a connected state, the domestic water cannot be delivered to the reverse osmosis filter element 142, but can only be output through the domestic water outlet unit 11 for user use. When the user needs to output pure water, the valve body 1441 is opened, and the booster pump 1442 can pump the domestic water to the reverse osmosis filter element 142 for filtration, forming pure water which is output through the pure water outlet unit 12 for user drinking.
[0042] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the filtration module 1 further includes a first return pipe section 15; the inlet end of the first return pipe section 15 is connected to the wastewater pipe section 146, and the outlet end of the first return pipe section 15 is connected to the first connecting pipe section 144; the inlet end of the first return pipe section 15 is located between the inlet end of the wastewater pipe section 146 and the first detection element 1461, and the outlet end of the first return pipe section 15 is located between the valve body 1441 and the booster pump 1442; a first return valve 151 and a first return check valve 152 are sequentially arranged on the first return pipe section 15.
[0043] It should be noted that when users need to obtain a large flow of pure water, the outlet end of the pure water outlet unit 12 needs to be pressurized, that is, the pure water end of the reverse osmosis filter element 142 has a large pressure. The TDS value of the wastewater discharged from the wastewater end when the reverse osmosis filter element 142 is filtered is often relatively low. If it is directly discharged through the wastewater pipe section 146, it will cause a waste of water resources. Therefore, in this embodiment, the inlet end of the first return pipe section 15 is connected to the wastewater pipe section 146, and the outlet end of the first return pipe section 15 is connected to the first connecting pipe section 144. The inlet end of the first return pipe section 15 is located between the inlet end of the wastewater pipe section 146 and the first detection element 1461. The outlet end of the first return pipe section 15 is located between the valve body 1441 and the booster pump 1442. When the pure water outlet unit 12 is pressurized, the wastewater valve 1462 of the wastewater pipe section 146 is closed, and the wastewater end of the reverse osmosis filter element 142 is connected to the first return pipe section 15. The TDS generated at the wastewater end of the reverse osmosis filter element 142... Wastewater with low TDS values is returned to the first connecting pipe section 144 through the first return pipe section 15 under the action of the booster pump 1442, and then pumped into the reverse osmosis filter element 142 for filtration. In this way, the wastewater with low TDS values can be effectively returned through the first return pipe section 15 to avoid waste of water resources. The first return pipe section 15 is equipped with a first return valve 151 and a first return check valve 152 in sequence. The first return valve 151 can be a solenoid valve to facilitate the control of the opening and closing of the first return pipe section 15. The first return check valve 152 ensures that the wastewater in the wastewater pipe section 146 can only flow to the first connecting pipe section 144.
[0044] When the water purification equipment is not used for a period of time, due to the osmotic pressure, ions in the reverse osmosis filter 142 permeate to the pure water end of the reverse osmosis filter 142, resulting in a portion of the water at the outlet of the reverse osmosis filter 142 having a high TDS value. This portion of water is defined as stale water. As one embodiment, the filtration module 1 also includes a second return pipe section 16. The inlet end of the second return pipe section 16 is connected to the pure water outlet unit 12, and the outlet end of the second return pipe section 16 is connected to the inlet pipe section 131. When the water purification equipment is used again, this portion of water with a high TDS value flows back to the inlet pipe section 131 through the second return pipe section 16, and is then re-filtered through the pre-filter 141, reverse osmosis filter 142, and post-filter 143. In this way, the problem of high TDS in the first cup of water when the water purification equipment is used again can be solved, ensuring zero stale water and guaranteeing the user's water safety. In addition, a second reflux valve 161 and a second reflux check valve 162 are installed on the second reflux pipe section. The second reflux valve 161 can be a solenoid valve. The second reflux valve 161 is used to open and close the second reflux pipe section 16, thereby controlling the reflux of stale water. The second reflux check valve 162 is installed on the second reflux pipe section 16. The second reflux check valve 162 controls the direction of water flow on the second reflux pipe section 16. That is, stale water can only flow through the second reflux pipe section 16 to the inlet pipe section 131, and cannot flow in the opposite direction, so as to avoid mixing of stale water and pure water, thereby preventing the output pure water TDS from being too high.
[0045] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the domestic water outlet unit 11 includes a domestic water pipe section 111; the inlet end of the domestic water pipe section 111 is connected to the first connecting pipe section 144, and the inlet end of the domestic water pipe section 111 is located between the inlet end of the first connecting pipe section 144 and the valve body 1441; a domestic water valve 1111, a first flow regulating valve 1112 and a sterilization module 1113 are sequentially arranged on the domestic water pipe section 111.
[0046] In this embodiment, the inlet end of the domestic water pipe section 111 is connected to the first connecting pipe section 144, and the inlet end of the domestic water pipe section 111 is located between the inlet end of the first connecting pipe section 144 and the valve body 1441. When the user needs to output domestic water, tap water enters the inlet pipe section 131 and is transported to the pre-filter 141 through the inlet pipe section 131. The valve body 1441 of the first connecting pipe section 144 is closed, and the outlet end of the domestic water pipe section 111 and the pre-filter 141 are connected. The domestic water filtered by the pre-filter 141 enters the domestic water pipe section 111 and is then output through the domestic water pipe section 111 for the user's use. A domestic water pipe section 111 is sequentially equipped with a domestic water valve 1111, a first flow regulating valve 1112, and a sterilization module 1113. The domestic water valve 1111 is a solenoid valve for convenient control of the on / off state of the domestic water pipe section 111. The first flow regulating valve 1112 and the sterilization module 1113 are installed on the domestic water pipe section 111. As one embodiment, the sterilization module 1113 is an electrolytic sterilization module 1113, which uses the principle of electrolysis to generate sterilizing substances. For example, ozone and hydroxyl radicals are generated through electrolysis between electrodes in the water, or hypochlorous acid is formed through electrolysis and hydrolysis. The sterilization module 1113 electrolyzes the flowing tap water. The tap water contains one of the bactericidal substances, such as ozone, hydroxyl groups, or hypochlorous acid. Of course, tap water can also contain multiple bactericidal substances, depending on the actual situation, and is not limited here. The sterilization module 1113 prepares bactericidal substances for the flowing domestic water, meaning the output domestic water contains bactericidal substances to give it a sterilization function. When fruits and vegetables need to be washed, the domestic water containing bactericidal substances rinses and soaks them, further disinfecting bacteria on the surface of the fruits and vegetables, ensuring they are clean and free of pesticide and bacterial residues, thus guaranteeing the user's food safety. The flow rate of water in the domestic water pipe section 111 is adjusted by regulating the first flow regulating valve 1112 to regulate the concentration of the bactericidal substances in the output domestic water, ensuring a suitable concentration and avoiding excessively high concentrations (resulting in a strong odor) or insufficient concentrations (resulting in ineffective sterilization).
[0047] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the pure water outlet unit 12 includes a pure water connecting pipe section 121 and a pure water outlet pipe section 122; the inlet end of the pure water connecting pipe section 121 is connected to the outlet end of the post-filter cartridge 143, and the outlet end of the pure water connecting pipe section 121 is connected to the inlet end of the heating module 2; the inlet end of the pure water outlet pipe section 122 is connected to the outlet end of the heating module 2; a pure water one-way valve 1211, a flow meter 1212, a second detection element 1213, a pressure reducing valve 1214, and a second flow regulating valve 1215 are sequentially arranged on the pure water connecting pipe section 121.
[0048] In this embodiment, the inlet end of the pure water connecting pipe section 121 is connected to the outlet end of the post-filter cartridge 143, the outlet end of the pure water connecting pipe section 121 is connected to the inlet end of the heating module 2, and the inlet end of the pure water outlet pipe section 122 is connected to the outlet end of the heating module 2. When the user needs to obtain warm pure water, tap water enters the inlet pipe section 131 and passes through the pre-filter cartridge 141, the first connecting pipe section 144, the reverse osmosis filter cartridge 142, the second connecting pipe section 145, and the post-filter cartridge 143 in sequence. Pure water enters the pure water connecting pipe section 121 from the outlet end of the post-filter cartridge 143. The pure water is then transported to the heating module 2 through the pure water connecting pipe section 121. The heating module 2 heats the pure water to form warm pure water, which is then output through the pure water outlet connecting pipe section for the user to drink directly. The pure water connection pipe section 121 is sequentially equipped with a pure water check valve 1211, a flow meter 1212, a second detection element 1213, a pressure reducing valve 1214, and a second flow regulating valve 1215. The pure water check valve 1211 ensures that pure water can only flow towards the heating module 2 within the pure water connection pipe section 121 and cannot flow back in the opposite direction. The flow meter 1212 can detect the flow rate of pure water within the pure water connection pipe section 121. The second detection element 1213 can be a TDS probe to detect the TDS value of pure water within the pure water connection pipe section 121, ensuring the safety of pure water quality. The pressure reducing valve 1214 can relieve pressure in the pure water connection pipe section 121 to prevent excessive pressure within the pure water connection pipe section 121. The second flow regulating valve 1215 can control the flow rate of pure water flowing into the heating module 2.
[0049] like Figure 1-3 As shown in the illustration, in one embodiment, the pure water outlet unit 12 also includes a room temperature water outlet pipe section. The inlet pipe of the room temperature water outlet pipe section is connected to the pure water connecting pipe section 121, and the inlet end of the room temperature water outlet pipe section is located between the second detection element 1213 and the second flow regulating valve 1215. Pure water filtered by the post-filter cartridge 143 enters the pure water connecting pipe section 121 through the room temperature water outlet pipe section, and is then transported to the room temperature water outlet pipe section. Finally, room temperature pure water for drinking is output through the room temperature water outlet pipe section, providing users with different pure water options and improving the user experience. A room temperature water valve, which can be a solenoid valve, is installed on the room temperature water outlet pipe section to control the on / off state of the room temperature water outlet pipe section.
[0050] like Figure 1-3As shown in the figure, in one embodiment, the water purification equipment also includes a water dispenser module 4. The water dispenser module 4 includes a water dispenser 41 and a water dispenser outlet pipe section 42. The inlet end of the water dispenser outlet pipe section 42 is connected to the pure water connection pipe section 121, and the inlet end of the water dispenser outlet pipe section 42 is located behind the second detection element 1213. The outlet end of the water dispenser outlet pipe section 42 is connected to the water dispenser 41. A water dispenser check valve 411 and a high-pressure switch 412 are sequentially arranged on the water dispenser outlet pipe section 42. The water dispenser 41 controls the on / off state of the water outlet section 42 via a high-pressure switch 412. When the water dispenser 41 is turned on, there is a pressure difference between the front and rear ends of the high-pressure switch 412, and the high-pressure switch 412 is turned on, that is, the water outlet section 42 of the water dispenser is connected. Room temperature pure water flows from the pure water connection section 121 into the water outlet section 42 of the water dispenser, and finally outputs from the water dispenser 41, realizing the water intake of the water dispenser 41. A one-way valve 411 is installed on the water outlet section 42 of the water dispenser to control the direction of water flow on the water outlet section 42 of the water dispenser, which can only flow into the water dispenser 41 and cannot flow in the opposite direction.
[0051] like Figure 1-3 As shown in the illustration, in one embodiment, the water purification equipment also includes a water outlet component 5. The water outlets of the domestic water pipe section 111, the ambient temperature water pipe section, and the pure water pipe section 122 are all located within the water outlet component 5. The water outlet component 5 can be a faucet, integrating the outlets for domestic water, ambient temperature water, and warm / hot pure water into the faucet, allowing for the output of different types of water with a single faucet. Of course, when the outlet of the pure water connecting pipe section 121 is connected to a refrigeration or ice-making device, the outlet of the refrigeration or ice-making device can also be integrated into the faucet, enabling the faucet to output domestic water, ambient temperature pure water, hot pure water, and cold pure water, thus greatly improving convenience.
[0052] Example 2: This embodiment provides a control method for a water purification device with hot and cold water functions, applicable to the water purification device of Embodiment 1. The control method includes the following steps: S100: Receives user commands to retrieve hot water.
[0053] Specifically, users can send instructions to request hot or warm domestic water through the control panel on the water purifier.
[0054] S200: Controls the output of domestic water from the domestic water outlet unit 11 of the filter module 1.
[0055] Specifically, the water purification equipment controls the operation of the filter module 1 through its control module. Tap water enters the pre-filter 141 through the inlet pipe section 131. After being filtered by the pre-filter 141, it forms domestic water, which enters the domestic water pipe section 111.
[0056] S300: Control the closure of the first heating valve 1216, the second heating valve 2311 and the circulation valve 2232, start the circulation pump and the first delivery valve 311, and deliver the hot water in the hot tank 211 to the domestic water pipe section 111 through the second circulation pipe section 223 and the first delivery pipe section 31; and / or, control the closure of the first heating valve 1216, the second heating valve 2311 and the circulation valve 2232, start the delivery pump 331, and deliver the hot water in the hot tank 211 to the domestic water pipe section through the second delivery pipe section 33.
[0057] Specifically, the water purification equipment controls the closure of the first heating valve 1216, the second heating valve 2311, and the circulation valve 2232 via its control module, and starts the circulation pump and the first delivery valve 311 to transport the high-temperature hot water in the hot tank 211 to the domestic water pipe section 111 through the second circulation pipe section 223 and the first delivery pipe section 31; or, the control module controls the closure of the first heating valve 1216, the second heating valve 2311, and the circulation valve 2232, and starts the delivery pump 331 to transport the hot water in the hot tank 211 to the domestic water pipe section through the second delivery pipe section 33; the high-temperature hot water entering the domestic water pipe section 111 mixes with the room-temperature domestic water to raise the temperature of the domestic water in the domestic water pipe section 111, and then outputs it to users through the domestic water pipe section 111 to achieve the output of warm domestic water.
[0058] S400: When the hot water in the hot tank 211 drops to the preset water level, the pure water outlet unit 12 of the control filter module 1 outputs pure water, closes the first heating valve 1216, the second heating valve 2311 and the circulation valve 2232, starts the water supply valve 321, and replenishes the pure water from the pure water outlet unit 12 into the hot tank 211 through the pure water connection pipe section 121 and the water supply pipe section 32, and starts the heater 212 to heat the pure water in the hot tank 211.
[0059] When the water level detection device 2112 in the hot tank 211 detects that the water level in the hot tank 211 is lower than the preset water level, the control module of the water purification equipment controls the pure water outlet unit 12 of the filter module 1 to output pure water, close the first heating valve 1216, the second heating valve 2311 and the circulation valve 2232, and start the water supply valve 321 to replenish the pure water in the hot tank 211 through the pure water connection pipe section 121 and the water supply pipe section 32 to replenish the water in the hot tank 211 and prevent the water level in the hot tank 211 from being too low. Then, the heater 212 is started to heat the pure water in the hot tank 211 to ensure that warm water can be continuously output to the user.
