Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water purifiers, in particular to an anti-dumping structure for a water softener. Background Art

[0002] A water softener, a kind of household water treatment equipment, includes a water softener tank and a salt box, and removes calcium and magnesium ions in water by arranging ion exchange resin in the water softener tank, reduces water hardness, reduces calcium ions and magnesium ions in hard water and leaves sediments in household appliances such as water heaters and washing machines, thereby extending the life of the equipment. For example, CN201620120843.X discloses an automatic water softener, which includes a water softener body, an algae-proof glass fiber reinforced plastic barrel, a liquid inlet component, an inlet and outlet liquid controller, and a salt box component, the algae-proof steel glass barrel is installed inside the water softener body, the liquid inlet component is installed inside the algae-proof glass fiber reinforced plastic barrel, the inlet and outlet liquid controller is installed on the top of the water softener body and is connected to the algae-proof glass fiber reinforced plastic barrel through the liquid inlet component, and the salt box component is connected to the inlet and outlet liquid controller through a salt liquid pipe. During normal use, the filter resin is filled in the algae-proof glass fiber reinforced plastic barrel, and hard water enters from the liquid inlet pipe, and the flux is adjusted by the controller body and sent to the algae-proof glass fiber reinforced plastic barrel for purification through the liquid inlet component. When the purification capacity of the filter resin is insufficient, turn on the brine pump to transport the saturated brine in the brine box assembly through the brine pipe to the inlet and outlet controller and then to the anti-algae fiberglass barrel to regenerate the filter resin.

[0003] The tanks of water softeners currently on the market are all in the shape of tall and thin columns with a high center of gravity. The tanks of the water softeners are connected to the salt tanks through water pipes. When the salt water concentration drops after being used for a period of time and is no longer saturated, the user needs to add salt. If the user accidentally touches it, the tank of the water softener may easily tip over. In addition, in daily use, water softeners are usually part of a central water purification system, and are usually placed next to water purifiers and other water-using equipment for use. If the user accidentally touches the tank of the water softener when repairing a water purifier, it may easily tip over. The tipping over causes the water pipes connected to the tank of the water softener to be deformed due to stress, and severe cases may cause water leakage at the connection between the water softener and the water pipe. Therefore, improvements need to be made to the defects of the existing water softener structure. Utility Model Content

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" etc. appear, the orientation or position relationship indicated is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0023] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0025] This embodiment provides an anti-dumping structure for a water softener, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes a bottom plate 1, a side plate 2 and a tightening belt 3; the side plate is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1; one end of the tightening belt 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the side plate 2, and when the water softener tank body 4 is placed on the bottom plate 1, the tightening belt 3 is tightly wrapped around the outer wall surface of the water softener tank body, and the other end of the tightening belt 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the side plate 2, so that the water softener tank body 4 is tightly pressed against the side plate 2; the area of ​​the bottom plate 1 is larger than the bottom surface area of ​​the water softener tank body 4.

[0026] On the basis of the above structure, when in use, the water softener tank body 4 is placed on the bottom plate 1, and the other end of the tightening belt 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the side plate 2 and tightly wrapped around the outer wall of the water softener tank body 4, so that the water softener tank body and the side plate 2 are tightly pressed against each other, thereby locking the water softener tank body 4 on the bottom plate 1 and the side plate 2, so that the water softener tank body 4 is respectively integrated with the bottom plate 1, the side plate 2 and the tightening belt 3; at the same time, the area of ​​the bottom plate 1 is larger than the area of ​​the bottom surface of the water softener tank body 4. In this way, the force-bearing area of ​​the water softener tank body 4 is increased, so that the entire structure of the water softener tank body 4, the bottom plate 1, the side plate 2 and the tightening belt 3 are firmly fixed and placed, reducing the risk of the water softener tank body 4 tipping over.

[0027] It should be noted that the side panel 2 may be fixed to the bottom panel 1 by one of screw connection, riveting, integral die-casting, etc., or a combination of two of them; the tightening belt 3 may be fixed to the top of the side panel 2 by one of screw connection and riveting; the above connection methods are all conventional structures in the field and are no longer limited here.

[0028] In addition, the area of ​​the bottom plate 1 is larger than the area of ​​the bottom surface of the water softener tank body 4. The area size of the bottom plate 1 can be determined as follows: In order to reduce the risk of the water softener tank body 4 tipping over, technical personnel in this field can, through a limited number of tests, change the proportional relationship between the area of ​​the bottom plate 1 and the area of ​​the bottom surface of the water softener tank body, so that the water softener tank body 4 meets the standard of not being easy to tip over while taking into account material saving.

[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, if Figure 1As shown, the bottom plate 1 is provided with screw holes 10. During installation, the entire structure of the water softener tank 4, the bottom plate 1, the side plates and the tightening belt 3 is securely fixed on a plane by screws, eliminating the potential safety hazard of the water softener tank 4 tipping over.

[0030] Preferably, in this embodiment, the side panel 2 includes a first side panel 20 and a second side panel 21, and the side edges of the first side panel 20 and the second side panel 21 are respectively perpendicular to the bottom panel 1; one end of the tightening band 3 is fixed to the top of the first side panel 20, and the other end of the tightening band 3 is fixed to the top of the second side panel 21; after the tightening band 3 is locked, the force at both ends of the tightening band 3 is dispersed to the first side panel 20 and the second side panel 21 to avoid deformation caused by concentrated force on the side panels.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first side plate 20 and the second side plate 21 are respectively vertically fixed to the bottom plate 1; such a configuration increases the force-bearing area of ​​the outer wall of the water softener tank body 4, so that the water softener tank body 4 is more firmly fixed on the first side plate 20 and the second side plate 21.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the area of ​​the first side panel 20 and the area of ​​the second side panel 21 gradually decrease from bottom to top; when the water softener tank body 4 is placed on an inclined plane, the squeezing force on the side panel by the water softener tank body 4 gradually decreases from bottom to top. The advantage of such a design is that it meets the force changes of the side panel when the water softener tank body 4 is placed on an inclined plane, while saving the use of materials.

[0033] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the anti-dumping structure also includes a threaded connector; the other end of the tightening band 3 is provided with an elongated hole 30, and the elongated hole 30 extends along the length direction of the tightening band 3; the top of the second side plate 21 is provided with a threaded hole 210 corresponding to the elongated hole 30; the threaded end of the threaded connector passes through the elongated hole 30 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 210, so that the other end of the tightening band 3 is fixed to the top of the second side plate 21; in this way, it is adapted to the softener tank body 4 of different diameters for locking and fixing, thereby improving the applicability of the anti-dumping structure.

[0034] During specific installation, when switching from a large diameter to a small diameter water softener tank body 4, during the tightening process of the tightening belt 3, it is only necessary to keep the elongated hole 30 of the tightening belt 3 aligned with the threaded hole 210. When the tightening belt 3 is tightly wrapped around the outer wall of the water softener, the threaded end of the threaded connector passes through the elongated hole 30 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 210, thereby locking the small diameter water softener tank body 4 on the first side plate 20 and the second side plate 21. Such an arrangement can be suitable for fixing water softeners with different tank diameters.

[0035] It should be noted that the threaded connector may be a screw or a bolt, and the elongated hole 30 may be a rectangular hole, an elliptical hole, a diamond hole or the like.

[0036] Furthermore, in order to improve the connection stability between the tightening belt 3 and the second side plate 21 , in the present embodiment, the number of the elongated holes 30 and the threaded holes 210 is at least two, and each of the elongated holes 30 is corresponding to each of the threaded holes 210 .

[0037] In the present embodiment, the tightening belt 3 is made of sheet metal. This configuration makes the processing simpler and the processing cost lower. On the other hand, it is also beneficial to improve the connection strength between the tightening belt 3 and the second side plate 21.

[0038] In the specific contents of the above-mentioned specific implementation methods, the various technical features can be combined in any non-contradictory manner. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the above-mentioned technical features are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0039] The specific contents of the above specific implementations only express several implementations of the utility model, and the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
