[0068] A pure water storage pipeline 63 is provided between the pure water outlet of the reverse osmosis filter element 1 and the pure water tank 2, and a pure water flow meter 631 and a pure water solenoid valve 632 are provided on the pure water storage pipeline 63.
[0069] The wastewater outlet of the reverse osmosis filter element 1 is provided with a wastewater pipe 64, and the wastewater pipe 64 is connected to the wastewater outlet for discharging wastewater out of the reverse osmosis water purification system. The wastewater pipe 64 has an upwardly curved pipeline, so that part of the pipeline of the wastewater pipe 64 is higher than the top of the reverse osmosis filter element 1, and an air inlet is provided at the top of the pipeline of the wastewater pipe 64, and a wastewater regulating valve 641 is provided on the wastewater pipe 64;
[0070] The reverse osmosis water purification system also has a reflux pipeline 65, one end of which is connected to the wastewater outlet of the reverse osmosis filter element 1, and the other end is connected to the water inlet of the reverse osmosis filter element 1. A reflux valve 651 and a reflux regulating valve 652 are arranged in the reflux pipeline 65.
[0071] A three-way pipeline is provided between the reflux valve 651 and the reflux regulating valve 652, the other end of the three-way pipeline is connected to the waste water outlet, and a waste water valve 661 is provided on the three-way pipeline;
[0072] A three-way pipeline is arranged between the water outlet flow meter 611 and the water outlet pump 612, the other end of the three-way pipeline is connected to the waste water outlet of the pure water tank 2, and a first flushing valve 671 is arranged in the three-way pipeline.
[0073] A three-way pipeline is arranged between the pure water flow meter 631 and the pure water solenoid valve 632 , the other end of the three-way pipeline is connected to the waste water pipe 64 , and a second flushing valve 681 is arranged on the three-way pipeline.
[0074] According to the utility model, by setting the second flushing valve 681, the reflux valve 651 and the wastewater regulating valve 641, the pressure sensor 622 and the pure water flow meter 631, the initial flushing of the reverse osmosis filter element 1 is realized. Specifically, the first flushing valve 1, the wastewater valve, the pure water solenoid valve and the water outlet pump are kept in a closed state, the water inlet valve and the second flushing valve 2 and the reflux valve are opened, and then the reflux regulating valve and the wastewater regulating valve are adjusted to the maximum opening, and the booster water pump is started to start the first flushing of the reverse osmosis filter element 1; then the pressure in front of the membrane is detected by the pressure sensor, and when the pressure is less than 100psi, the wastewater regulating valve is adjusted to a small opening, and the reflux regulating valve is adjusted to a small opening at the same time, and the flow rate is continuously detected by the water inlet flow meter and the pure water flow meter, so that the water inlet / pure water flow rate ratio is close to 2:1, and the two regulating valves are stopped when the pressure reaches 100psi, so as to realize the efficient initial flushing of the reverse osmosis filter element 1, so as to improve the service life of the reverse osmosis filter element 1.
[0075] In a preferred embodiment, a pressure switch 614 is provided on the water tank outlet pipe 61 .
[0076] According to the utility model, during the pure water production process, the pure water solenoid valve is opened, and the second flushing valve is closed to replenish water to the pure water tank; while the waste water regulating valve is adjusted down, the reflux valve is adjusted so that the pressure is maintained at 100psi, and the inlet water / pure water flow rate ratio is kept constant after approaching 10:9, until the liquid level gauge in the pure water tank detects the set high water level, the booster water pump is turned off first, and then the inlet valve and the pure water solenoid valve are closed to stop water production;
[0077] Then start the water outlet pump. At this time, since the faucet at the water outlet is not opened, the pressure switch will quickly reach a high-pressure state and send out a shutdown signal, causing the water outlet pump to stop running and completing the water production process.
[0078] Furthermore, a one-way valve 613 is provided on the water outlet pipe 61 of the water tank to prevent the air at the water outlet from flowing back into the water outlet pipe.

[0082] According to the utility model, after water production is completed, the reverse osmosis filter element 1 is flushed to increase the service life of the reverse osmosis filter element 1. Specifically, after water production is completed, the waste water valve is opened to drain water for pressure relief. After the pressure sensor detects that the pressure is 0, the reflux valve and the inlet and outlet valves 624 are opened, and the water stored on the concentrated water side of the reverse osmosis filter element 1 will be discharged through the waste water pipe under the action of gravity. After the water stored on the concentrated water side of the reverse osmosis filter element has completely flowed out, the reflux valve and the waste water valve are closed, and the inlet and outlet valves 624 are kept open. Then, the first flushing valve is opened to allow the water in the pure water tank to flow into the reverse osmosis filter element under the action of gravity, until the liquid level sensor 623 detects that the liquid level is higher than the top of the reverse osmosis filter element, and then the first flushing valve and the inlet and outlet valves 624 are closed, so that the high-concentration water on the concentrated water side of the reverse osmosis filter element is completely replaced by pure water, thereby increasing the service life of the reverse osmosis filter element.
[0083] In a preferred embodiment, a one-way valve 613 is provided at the air inlet position at the top end of the waste water pipe 64 so that the water in the pipe cannot flow out through the air inlet.

[0087] An air inlet pipe is arranged on the pure water tank 2, and an air filter is arranged at the position of the air inlet pipe;
