[0038] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0039] The utility model relates to a scale inhibitor, comprising a first water flow component 100, a second water flow component 200 and a switching structure.

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first water flow member 100 is provided with a first water passage 101. The second water flow member 200 is provided with a second water passage 201 and a third water passage 202. Figure 5 As shown, the second water passage 201 is filled with a scale-inhibiting material 300, which may be a granular scale-inhibiting agent. The scale-inhibiting agent may be directly or loaded into a net bag and placed in the second water passage 201. The first water passage 100 is connected to the second water passage 200, and there are two water-passing states between the first water passage 100 and the second water passage 200. One of the water-passing states is, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first water passage 101 is connected to the second water passage 201, and the third water passage 202 is independently in an idle state. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the first water passage 101 and the third water passage 202 are connected, and the second water passage 201 is independently in an idle state. The switching structure is used to switch the first water passage 100 and the second water passage 200 between two water flow states. Among them, the connection and switching structure between the first water passage 101, the second water passage 201 and the third water passage 202 can be but not limited to the coordinated use of water pipes and valves. The second water passage 201 and the third water passage 202 are respectively connected to the first water passage 101 through different water pipes, and valves are installed on their respective water pipes. The switching of the two water flow states is achieved by controlling the opening and closing of each valve in turn. As shown Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first water passage 100 and the second water passage 200 can also be flexibly connected, and by changing the position between the first water passage 100 and the second water passage 200, the second water passage 201 and the third water passage 202 are alternately aligned with the first water passage 101, so as to switch between the two water flow states. The scale inhibitor can be applied to various water-using equipment. In actual use, an external water source such as tap water is connected to the first water passage 101, and the second water passage 201 and the third water passage 202 are respectively connected to the water path of the water-using equipment. When the water path needs to be descaled, the switching structure is used to switch to the water flow state in which the first water passage 101 and the second water passage 201 are connected, and the tap water flows through the first water passage 101 and the second water passage 201 in sequence and then enters the water-using equipment. When the water flows through the second water passage 201, it will contact the scale-inhibiting material 300 in the second water passage 201, and the tap water will be scale-inhibited and the water quality will be improved. Then the water will enter the water-using equipment through the second water passage 201 for use. When scale prevention treatment is not required, the switching structure is used to switch to the water flow state in which the first water passage 101 and the third water passage 202 are connected, and the tap water flows through the first water passage 101 and the third water passage 202 in sequence and then enters the water-using equipment for direct use. The dual-channel structure of the second water flow member 200 is used in conjunction with the first water flow member 100 to achieve the switching of the two water flow states, and the use of the scale prevention material 300 is reduced when scale prevention water is not required, which effectively reduces the use cost, and the overall structure is simple and easy to use.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2As shown, the first water flow member 100 is provided with a first cavity 110, and the first cavity 110 is provided with a first water inlet 120 and a first water outlet 130. The first water inlet 120 and the first water outlet 130 connect the inside and the outside of the first cavity 110. The first water inlet 120, the first water outlet 130 and the first cavity 110 constitute the above-mentioned first water passage 101. Among them, the first water inlet 120 and the first water outlet 130 can extend from the outer wall of the first water flow member 100 in a columnar shape. The second water flow member 200 is installed in the first cavity 110. The switching structure can drive the second water flow member 200 to move in the first cavity 110. The movement of the second water flow member 200 relative to the first water flow member 100 can be translation or rotation, etc. For example, as Figure 4 As shown, the switching structure may be a push rod provided on the second water flow member 200, and the push rod is used to push the second water flow member 200 to translate in the first chamber 110, so as to align the second water passage 201 with the first water inlet 120 and the first water outlet 130, or align the third water passage 202 with the first water inlet 120 and the first water outlet 130. The second water flow member 200 is integrated and installed in the first water flow member 100, so as to reduce the overall volume of the scale inhibitor and reduce the space occupied.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, the second water flow member 200 is rotatably connected to the first water flow member 100. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first cavity 110 is a cylindrical cavity. The outer contour of the second water passage 200 is cylindrical. The second water passage 200 is coaxially connected with the first cavity 110 for rotation. Through the rotation of the second water passage 200, the second water passage 200 is switched between two water flow states relative to the first water passage 100. The first water inlet 120 and the first water outlet 130 can be arranged on the circumferential side wall or end of the first water passage 100, and correspondingly, the second water passage 201 and the third water passage 202 are connected with the first water inlet 120 and the first water outlet 130 from their respective side walls or end positions.

[0043] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first water inlet 120 and the first water outlet 130 are provided on the circumferential side wall of the first chamber 110. Figure 3As shown, a second cavity 210 and a third cavity 220 are provided inside the second water flow member 200. The space sizes of the second cavity 210 and the third cavity 220 can be set to be the same or different, and are designed according to actual product needs. A second water inlet 211, a second water outlet 212, a third water inlet 221 and a third water outlet 222 are provided on the circumferential side wall of the second water flow member 200. The second water inlet 211 and the second water outlet 212 are connected to the second cavity 210, and the second water inlet 211, the second water outlet 212 and the second cavity 210 constitute the above-mentioned second water passage 201. The scale-inhibiting material 300 is placed in the second cavity 210. The third water inlet 221 and the third water outlet 222 are connected to the third cavity 220, and the third water inlet 221, the third water outlet 222 and the third cavity 220 constitute the above-mentioned third water passage 202. When the second water flow member 200 rotates relative to the first water flow member 100, one of the water flow states is, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the second water inlet 211 is aligned with the first water inlet 120, and the second water outlet 212 is aligned with the first water outlet 130. The tap water enters the water-using device through the first water inlet 120, the second water inlet 211, the second cavity 210, the second water outlet 212, and the first water outlet 130 in sequence. At this time, the inner wall of the first cavity 110 is used to block the third water inlet 221 and the third water outlet 222. The second water-passing member 200 rotates relative to the first water-passing member 100 to another water-passing state, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the third water inlet 221 is aligned with the first water inlet 120, and the third water outlet 222 is aligned with the first water outlet 130. Tap water enters the water-using device through the first water inlet 120, the third water inlet 221, the third cavity 220, the third water outlet 222, and the first water outlet 130 in sequence. At this time, the second water inlet 211 and the second water outlet 212 are blocked by the inner wall of the first cavity 110. In order to improve the water-tightness of each water inlet when it is aligned, a sealing ring can be set on the side of the first water inlet 120 and the second water inlet 211 close to the second water flow part 200, or a sealing ring can be set on the side of the second water inlet 211, the second water outlet 212, the third water inlet 221 and the third water outlet 222 facing the first water flow part 100, so that the docking position of the first water inlet 120 and the second water inlet 211 or the third water inlet 221, and the docking position of the first water outlet 130 and the second water outlet 212 or the third water outlet 222 are sealed.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, on the basis of the structure of the rotational connection between the first water flow member 100 and the second water flow member 200, the switching structure includes a rotating shaft 410. The rotating shaft 410 is arranged on the axial end of the second water flow member 200. The rotating shaft 410 coaxially passes through the outside of the first water flow member 100, and the rotating shaft 410 and the first water flow member 100 can be sealed and rotatably connected by means of a Y-shaped sealing ring, etc., to prevent water from flowing from the rotating shaft 410 to the outside of the first water flow member 100. When it is necessary to switch the water flow state, the rotating shaft 410 can be rotated to drive the second water flow member 200 to rotate relative to the first water flow member 100.

[0045] The rotating shaft 410 can be operated manually or electrically. When the manual method is adopted, a handle can be used outside the first water-passing member 100 to connect with the rotating shaft 410, and the rotating shaft 410 can be controlled to rotate by the handle. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, when the electric mode is adopted, the switching structure further includes a motor 420. The driving shaft of the motor 420 is connected to the rotating shaft 410. The rotating shaft 410 is driven to rotate by the motor 420, thereby driving the second water-flowing member 200 to rotate. Among them, the motor 420 can be selected from models such as a forward and reverse motor 420.

[0046] Further, such as Figure 7 As shown, a limiting groove 140 is provided on the cavity wall of the first cavity 110. The limiting groove 140 can be provided on the circumferential cavity wall or the end cavity wall of the first cavity 110. The limiting groove 140 extends around the central axis of the first cavity 110 and is in an arc shape. Figure 8As shown, the second water-passing member 200 is provided with a protrusion 230, which is slidably connected to the limiting groove 140. When the second water-passing member 200 rotates relative to the first water-passing member 100, the protrusion 230 slides along the limiting groove 140, and the cooperation between the limiting groove 140 and the protrusion 230 plays a certain role in guiding the rotation. In addition, the limiting groove 140 and the protrusion 230 cooperate to limit the rotation stroke of the second water-passing member 200. That is, when the second water-passing member 200 rotates forward or reverse (clockwise or counterclockwise) relative to the first water-passing member 100, the protrusion 230 will slide and abut against the end of the limiting groove 140, thereby limiting the second water-passing member 200 from rotating in the current direction. Among them, the extreme positions at both ends of the limiting groove 140 respectively position the two water-flowing states. That is, when the protrusion 230 rotates forward with the second water flow member 200 to abut against one end of the limiting groove 140, the second water flow member 200 switches relative to the first water flow member 100 so that the first water inlet 120 is aligned with the second water inlet 211, and the first water outlet 130 is aligned with the second water outlet 212. When the protrusion 230 rotates reversely with the second water flow member 200 to abut against the other end of the limiting groove 140, the second water flow member 200 switches relative to the first water flow member 100 so that the first water inlet 120 is aligned with the third water inlet 221, and the first water outlet 130 is aligned with the third water outlet 222.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 8 As shown, a protrusion 240 is provided on the circumferential outer wall of the second water flow member 200, and the protrusion 240 extends along the circumference of the second water flow member 200. The protrusion 240 abuts against the inner wall of the first cavity 110. The other parts of the second water flow member 200 except the protrusion 240 do not directly contact the inner wall of the first cavity 110, thereby reducing the friction force when the second water flow member 200 rotates.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, an end cover 500 is also included. The first chamber 110, the second chamber 210 and the third chamber 220 have the same axial orientation. The opening of the first chamber 110 surrounds the opening of the second chamber 210 and the opening of the third chamber 220. The axial ends on the same side of the first chamber 110, the second chamber 210 and the third chamber 220 are openings. The end cover 500 can be connected to the first water flow part 100 by snap-fitting or the like. The end cover 500 seals the openings of the first chamber 110, the second chamber 210 and the third chamber 220. The end cover 500 can be removed, and the first chamber 110, the second chamber 210 and the third chamber 220 can be cleaned, and anti-scaling material 300 can be added. A sealing ring can be set between the end cover 500 and the opening of the first chamber 110 for sealing. Further, as Fig. 9As shown, the end cover 500 is provided with a convex edge 510 that matches the shape of the opening of the second cavity 210 and the opening of the third cavity 220. The convex edge 510 abuts against the corresponding openings of the second cavity 210 and the third cavity 220, and further independently seals the openings of the second cavity 210 and the third cavity 220, thereby preventing water from leaking from the second cavity 210 and the third cavity 220 at the end cover 500. The end cover 500 can also be sealed and fixed by welding, gluing, etc.
