DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0042] The following is a further detailed description of the implementation of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0043] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the first embodiment of the utility model provides a salt box installation structure, including:
[0044] Salt box body 100;
[0045] The lining member 102, at least a portion of the lining member 102 is inserted into the salt box body 100 to improve the structural strength of the salt box body 100;
[0046] The salt box body 100 is formed with a first side portion 104 and a second side portion 108 opposite to the first side portion 104 . The first side portion 104 is suitable for connecting with the resin tank 106 through a connecting assembly, and the second side portion 108 is suitable for connecting with the housing 110 of the water softener through a clamping assembly.
[0047] According to the installation structure of the salt box provided by the embodiment of the first aspect of the utility model, by inserting the lining member 102 in the salt box body 100, by increasing the thickness of the inner wall or providing additional support, the overall structural strength and durability of the salt box body 100 are significantly improved, and the salt box is prevented from being deformed or damaged due to salt water erosion or other external forces. By respectively arranging the first side portion 104 and the second side portion 108 on the salt box body 100, the first side portion 104 can be connected to the resin tank 106 through a connecting component, and the second side portion 108 can be connected to the housing 110 through a snap-on component, thereby increasing the flexibility and adaptability of the salt box installation. In addition, the installation structure of the salt box adopts a modular design concept, and through different connecting components and snap-on components, it can be connected to different types of resin tanks 106 and housings 110, thereby increasing the applicability of the salt box.
[0048] Please continue to see Figures 1 to 6 In the installation structure of the salt box provided in the embodiment of the first aspect of the utility model, it mainly includes a salt box body 100 and a lining member 102. Among them, the salt box body 100 serves as a container for storing salt and provides the required salt for the resin regeneration process. When the resin needs to be regenerated, the brine enters the resin tank 106 through a specific pipe. During this process, the sodium ions in the brine will be exchanged with other ions in the resin, so that the resin can be regenerated and its ability to soften water can be restored. The salt box body 100 needs to ensure that it is easy to clean, convenient to add salt, and has good structural properties to ensure that the salt box body 100 has a relatively long service life.
[0049] In the embodiment of the utility model, in order to improve the structural strength of the salt box body 100, an inner lining 102 is inserted into the salt box body 100. The inner lining 102 can significantly improve the overall structural strength and durability of the salt box body 100 by increasing the inner wall thickness or providing additional support, thereby preventing the salt box from being deformed or damaged due to salt water erosion or other external forces.
[0050] As mentioned above, in order to improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the salt box body 100, a first side portion 104 and a second side portion 108 are respectively provided on the salt box body 100. It can be understood that the first side portion 104 mentioned here refers to the side of the salt box body 100 facing the resin tank 106, and the second side portion 108 refers to the side of the salt box body 100 facing the front end of the water softener.
[0051] The first side portion 104 is connected to the resin tank 106 through a connecting assembly, and the second side portion 108 is connected to the housing 110 through a clamping assembly, thereby increasing the flexibility and adaptability of the salt box installation. The fixed connection method between the salt box body 100 and the housing in the related art is improved, and the salt box body 100 can be connected to different types of resin tanks 106 and housings 110, thereby increasing the applicability of the salt box.
[0052] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the connection assembly includes a mounting seat 128 and a mounting buckle 130, the mounting seat 128 is disposed on the resin tank 106, the mounting buckle 130 is disposed on the first side portion 104, and a connecting member 132 is provided on the mounting buckle 130 and the mounting seat 128 to connect the mounting buckle 130 and the mounting seat 128;
[0053] The snap-fit assembly includes a snap-fit buckle 134 and a snap-fit slot 136 . The snap-fit buckle 134 is disposed on one of the second side portion 108 and the housing 110 , and the snap-fit slot 136 is disposed on the other of the second side portion 108 and the housing 110 .
[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the design of the connection assembly enables the salt box body 100 to be quickly and accurately connected to the resin tank 106. The mounting seat 128 is arranged on the resin tank 106, and the mounting buckle 130 is arranged on the first side 104 of the salt box body 100. A connecting member 132 such as a screw or bolt is passed between the mounting buckle 130 and the mounting seat 128 to firmly connect the two together. This connection method can ensure the stability and reliability between the salt box body 100 and the resin tank 106, and also facilitates the installation and disassembly operations.
[0055] The design of the clamping assembly enables the salt box body 100 to be reliably connected to the housing 110 of the water softener. The buckle 134 and the clamping slot 136 are respectively arranged on the second side 108 of the salt box body 100 and the housing 110, and the connection between the two is achieved by mutual clamping. This clamping method is simple and fast, and can also ensure the stability of the connection.
[0056] The installation structure of the salt box realizes the fast and accurate connection between the salt box body 100, the resin tank 106 and the water softener housing 110 through the design of the connection components and the clamping components, thereby improving the overall performance of the equipment and the user experience. At the same time, the structure also has the characteristics of easy installation and modular design, and can be customized and expanded according to different needs to adapt to different types of water softener equipment.
[0057] Of course, in some other embodiments, the connection assembly can also be implemented using the mounting holes provided on the resin tank 106 and the lugs provided on the salt box body 100. Accordingly, in order to achieve the installation and fixation of the lugs and the mounting holes, the two can be connected by a connecting member 132 such as a screw or a bolt. Similarly, the clamping assembly can also be implemented in the form of a pair of clamping blocks such as a clamping adapter. The structures of the connection assembly and the clamping assembly will not be further described one by one here.
[0058] According to an embodiment of the present invention, along the height direction of the salt box body 100 , the salt box body 100 includes a receiving portion 120 and a salt inlet portion 122 disposed above the receiving portion 120 , and a salt inlet port 122 is opened in the salt inlet portion 122 ;
[0059] An installation space is formed in the salt inlet 122, and part of the lining member 102 is inserted into the installation space;
[0060] A side of the accommodation portion 120 facing the resin tank 106 forms a first side portion 104 , and a side of the accommodation portion 120 facing the housing 110 of the water softener forms a second side portion 108 .
[0061] like Figure 6 As shown, in the height direction of the salt box body 100, the salt box body 100 is divided into a receiving portion 120 and a salt inlet portion 122. The receiving portion 120 is mainly used to store dissolved or undissolved regeneration salt to ensure that the water softener has enough salt solution for ion exchange during operation.
[0062] The salt inlet 122 is located above the accommodating portion 120. The salt inlet 122 is designed with an installation space for inserting the lining member 102 to enhance the structural strength. By partially inserting the lining member 102 into the installation space of the salt inlet 122, not only the overall bearing capacity of the salt box is optimized, but also its ability to resist corrosion from salt solutions is improved, thereby extending the service life of the salt box.
[0063] The first side portion 104 and the second side portion 108 are both formed in the accommodating portion 120, that is, the positions of the first side portion 104 and the second side portion 108 are mainly for realizing effective connection and fixation with the resin tank 106 and the water softener housing 110, ensuring that the salt box and other components of the water softener can fit closely to complete the brine replenishment and circulation work in the water softening process.
[0064] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the salt inlet portion 122 includes a side plate 124 connected between the first side portion 104 and the second side portion 108;
[0065] A vertical plate 126 is formed on the lining member 102 at a position corresponding to the side plate 124;
[0066] When the lining member 102 is inserted into the installation space, the vertical plate 126 is suitable for fitting with the side plate 124 .
[0067] like Figure 6 As shown, the salt inlet 122 is composed of a side panel 124 connected between the first side portion 104 and the second side portion 108, and a vertical panel 126 is provided on the lining 102 at a position corresponding to the side panel 124. When the lining 102 is inserted into the installation space, the vertical panel 126 will be close to the side panel 124, thereby providing additional support and reinforcement.
[0068] The coordinated design of the vertical plate 126 and the side plate 124 not only improves the structural stability of the salt box body 100 and reduces the risk of deformation of the salt box body 100, but also enhances the sealing performance between the lining 102 and the salt box body 100, effectively preventing salt water leakage and ensuring that the water softener can efficiently and stably perform the ion exchange process.
[0069] According to an embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the outer surface of the first side portion 104 and the outer surface of the second side portion 108 is provided with a reinforcing rib 138 .
[0070] In order to further improve the structural strength of the salt box body 100, the outer surface of the first side portion 104 and / or the outer surface of the second side portion 108 are provided with reinforcing ribs 138. The function of the reinforcing ribs 138 is to increase the rigidity and deformation resistance of the salt box body 100, so that it is not easy to deform or damage when subjected to external pressure or impact. The design of the reinforcing ribs 138 can be selected and adjusted according to actual needs. For example, a single layer or multiple layers of reinforcing ribs 138 can be provided, and different shapes and sizes can be selected. Through reasonable design and layout, the reinforcing ribs 138 can effectively improve the overall strength and stability of the salt box body 100, thereby extending its service life.
[0071] In addition, the reinforcing ribs 138 can be locally reinforced as needed, for example, reinforcing ribs 138 are provided at locations of the first side portion 104 and the second side portion 108 that are subjected to greater forces or are susceptible to damage, so as to improve the strength and stability of the local structure.
[0072] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the salt box body 100 and the housing 110 are adapted to be positioned by a positioning assembly;
[0073] The positioning assembly includes a positioning protrusion 140 and a positioning groove 142 for positioning adaptation. The positioning protrusion 140 is disposed on one of the salt box body 100 and the housing 110 , and the positioning groove 142 is disposed on the other of the salt box body 100 and the housing 110 .
[0074] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the salt box body 100 and the housing 110 are positioned by the positioning assembly, which can ensure the accurate position of the salt box body 100 in the water softener and prevent it from shifting or shaking during operation.
[0075] In one embodiment, the positioning assembly includes a positioning protrusion 140 and a positioning groove 142, which are respectively disposed on the salt box body 100 and the housing 110. The positioning protrusion 140 and the positioning groove 142 are adapted to each other, and the salt box body 100 and the housing 110 are positioned by a connection method such as a snap connection or a screw.
[0076] It should be noted that the design of the positioning assembly can be customized and adjusted for different water softener models to meet the needs of different users. Through reasonable design and layout, the positioning assembly can effectively improve the positioning accuracy and stability of the salt box body 100, thereby ensuring the normal operation and use effect of the water softener.
[0077] Of course, in some other embodiments, the positioning component may also be a positioning block, a positioning hole, or other structures, which will not be described in detail here.
[0078] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the second side portion 108 is provided with a salt inlet 112 and a cover body 114, and the cover body 114 is suitable for switching between an open position and a closed position relative to the salt inlet 112. In the open position, the cover body 114 is suitable for avoiding the salt inlet 112, and in the closed position, the cover body 114 is suitable for shielding the salt inlet 112.
[0079] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the second side portion 108 is provided with a salt inlet 112 and a cover 114. It should be noted that the salt inlet 112 is not provided on the top of the salt box body 100, but is provided on the side of the salt box body 100. By such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the salt particles from directly hitting the inner wall of the receiving portion 120 during the salt adding process, thereby preventing the salt particles from impacting the salt box body 100, and at the same time, the salt particles can be uniformly introduced into the receiving portion 120, so that the concentration of the salt solution in the receiving portion 120 is more uniform.
[0080] A cover body 114 is rotatably provided at the salt inlet 112 , and the cover body 114 can be switched between an open position and a closed position relative to the salt inlet 112 to meet different usage requirements.
[0081] In the open position, the cover 114 is adapted to avoid the salt inlet 112, so that the salt inlet 112 is fully exposed, which is convenient for the user to add salt. In the closed position, the cover 114 is adapted to shield the salt inlet 112, and completely cover the salt inlet 112 to maintain the sealing and dustproof properties of the salt box body 100. When it is not necessary to add salt to the salt box body 100, the cover 114 can be switched to the closed position to keep the salt box body 100 clean and hygienic.
[0082] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the cover 114 is adapted to be guided and matched with the salt box body 100 through a guide assembly;
[0083] The guide assembly includes a guide groove 116 and a slider 118 for guiding cooperation. The guide groove 116 is provided in one of the salt box body 100 and the cover body 114 , and the slider 118 is provided in the other of the salt box body 100 and the cover body 114 .
[0084] The lining member 102 is adapted to isolate the guide groove 116 from the salt inlet passage on the salt box body 100 .
[0085] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to achieve smooth opening and closing and precise positioning between the cover 114 and the salt box body 100, a guide assembly is designed for guiding cooperation. The guide assembly is composed of a guide groove 116 and a slider 118 that cooperate with each other.
[0086] The guide groove 116 is provided in one of the salt box body 100 or the cover 114, and the slider 118 is provided in the other of the salt box body 100 or the cover 114. When the cover 114 is opened or closed, the slider 118 will slide smoothly along the guide groove 116, ensuring that the cover 114 can accurately and smoothly avoid or cover the salt inlet 112, and can also prevent the cover 114 from deflecting or getting stuck during the opening or closing process.
[0087] In addition, the lining 102 is not only used to enhance the structural strength of the salt box body 100, but is also suitable for isolating the guide groove 116 from the salt inlet channel inside the salt box body 100, preventing salt particles or other impurities from entering the guide groove 116 and affecting the normal opening and closing of the cover body 114 and the overall operating performance of the equipment, thereby avoiding the spilling of salt particles and the leakage of brine, and improving the sealing performance of the salt box body 100.
[0088] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a magnetic attraction member is disposed on the cover body 114 , and in the closed position, the cover body 114 is suitable for being adsorbed on the lining member 102 through the magnetic attraction member.
[0089] In the embodiment of the utility model, in order to further improve the sealing and stability between the cover 114 and the salt box body 100 when in the closed position, a magnetic attraction piece is added to the cover 114. When the cover 114 moves to the closed position, the magnetic attraction piece is automatically adsorbed to the lining piece 102, so that the cover 114 and the salt box body 100 are closely fitted.
[0090] In this way, not only the fixing effect of the cover 114 is enhanced, preventing the cover 114 from being accidentally opened due to accidental contact or vibration, but also the operation process of the cover 114 is simplified. Only by slightly lifting the cover 114 can the cover 114 be firmly closed on the salt inlet 112, thereby improving the user experience and the overall safety of the device. In addition, the design of the magnetic suction piece also reduces the reliance on complex structures such as mechanical locks, reducing the manufacturing cost and failure rate of the device.
[0091] A second aspect of the present invention provides a water softener, including a resin tank 106 and the above-mentioned salt box installation structure.
[0092] According to the water softener provided by the second embodiment of the utility model, by providing the above-mentioned salt box installation structure, the salt box has high structural strength, various connection methods, and is easy to install. Therefore, the stability and reliability of the water softener can be improved, while reducing its maintenance cost and difficulty of use.
[0093] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
