[0002] A water softener is a device used to treat water quality. It is mainly used to remove hardness ions in water, such as calcium and magnesium ions, to soften the water. A water softener usually uses a resin barrel structure to achieve water quality treatment.

[0003] The working principle of a water softener is to exchange ions with the hardness ions in the water through special resin particles filled in the resin barrel. When water flows through the resin barrel, the resin particles absorb calcium and magnesium ions in the water and release an equal amount of sodium ions. Over time, the resin particles gradually become saturated and need to be regenerated.

[0004] During the regeneration process, the water softener uses salt water to pass through the resin, washes away the adsorbed calcium and magnesium ions, and restores the resin to a state that can continue to be used. In this way, the water softener can be used continuously and continuously to soften the water quality.

[0005] In the related technology, the aperture of the flow channel connecting with the resin barrel is limited by the inner diameter of the flow channel, and the water distribution flow rate is limited, which affects the water distribution effect in the resin barrel. Utility Model Content

[0037] Hard water has a variety of effects on daily life and household equipment. First, the washing effect will be reduced because the calcium and magnesium ions in hard water react with detergents to form soap scum, causing clothes to become yellow, dusty, and feel bad after washing. Secondly, hard water causes scale to accumulate on water pipes, water heaters and other equipment, resulting in reduced water flow, reduced pressure, and damage to equipment performance and life. In addition, the minerals in hard water are irritating to the skin and hair, which may cause dryness, itching and hair quality problems. At the same time, scale forms a heat conduction barrier on the surface of heating equipment, reducing energy efficiency and increasing energy consumption and costs. Finally, the high mineral content in hard water may be unfavorable to the health of some people, and there is a potential risk of excessive metal ions. Therefore, people use water softeners to treat water quality in daily life. Using water softeners can effectively remove minerals in hard water, improve water quality, and improve the quality of life. Usually, water softeners remove calcium and magnesium ions in water through the process of ion exchange, thereby converting hard water into soft water.

[0038] Among them, water softeners usually use resin for treatment. This resin is a high molecular substance with a special structure and a positive charge on its surface. When hard water passes through the ion exchange resin column, the calcium and magnesium ions in it will adsorb to the positive charge on the surface of the resin, replacing the original sodium ions on the resin. During the exchange process, the contact effect between the raw water and the resin will directly affect the softening effect. How to improve the raw water distribution effect will directly affect the final softening efficiency and softening quality. In related technologies, based on the complex flow channel structure, the opening of the part connecting with the resin pipe is subject to the layout design, and its opening size is limited, resulting in limited water distribution effect.

[0039] For the problems existing in related technologies, see Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, the water channel connection component provided by the utility model is used to cooperate with the resin barrel 200, specifically including a channel portion 100, the channel portion 100 has a first water channel 110, the first water channel 110 has a cut-off opening 1102, the cut-off opening 1102 is used to communicate with the resin filling part of the resin barrel 200, and the opening section of the cut-off opening 1102 in the cross-sectional direction of the resin barrel 200 is less than or equal to the overlap surface of the first water channel 110 and the resin filling part in the cross section. The water channel can realize the basic function of the water softener by connecting with the resin barrel 200, that is, the raw water can enter the resin barrel 200 through the first water channel 110 to flow forward to realize the softening function, and the salt water can also return to the valve body from the first water channel 110 to realize the reverse flow and other functions. In this embodiment, the cut-off opening 1102 is opened along the extension direction of the first water channel 110, and as long as the opened opening does not exceed the corresponding range of the resin barrel 200, the size of the cut-off opening 1102 can be unrestricted, and the water distribution effect of the raw water through the cut-off opening 1102 will not be affected by the opening size.

[0040] It is understandable that, in this embodiment, the part of the entity forming the first waterway channel 110 spans above the resin barrel 200, so that the first waterway channel 110 and the resin barrel 200 have intersecting planes in the horizontal direction, and the intersecting plane is the above-mentioned cross section. That is, the part of the entity structure of the first waterway channel 110 is located in the resin barrel 200, and the outer part of the resin barrel 200 is the resin filling part filled with resin particles. The cut-off opening 1102 can open an opening of any size on the entity part located in the resin barrel 200, so that it is not limited by the inner diameter of the first waterway channel 110, so that even on the first waterway channel 110 with a smaller inner diameter, it can open a larger cut-off opening 1102 size along its own extension direction, thereby meeting the high-quality water distribution effect.

[0041] Specifically, in the present embodiment, part of the wall forming the first water channel 110 spans over the top of the resin barrel 200, and a cut-off opening 1102 is opened on the wall above the resin barrel 200, so that the part of the wall facing the resin barrel 200 can be a notch structure. At this time, the size of the cut-off opening 1102 is equal to the overlapping part of the wall and the resin filling part of the resin barrel 200, which increases the contact area between the cut-off opening 1102 and the resin filling part of the resin barrel 200, thereby improving the water distribution effect of the raw water entering the resin barrel 200 through the cut-off opening 1102, enabling the water body to fully contact with the resin, thereby improving the softening efficiency and softening quality of the water body.

[0042] It should be noted that the resin barrel 200 in each embodiment described in the present application may adopt a conventional resin barrel 200 structure, that is, a barrel body structure for loading resin particles, and an independent center tube in the barrel body, and the resin filling part is located at the outer part of the center tube, and the water channel realizes softening and other functions by contacting the resin particles in the resin barrel 200.

[0043] It can be understood that the size of the cut-off port 1102 can be specifically designed according to the surface intersection between the resin filling part in the resin tube and the first water channel 110, so that the overall performance is stable, with better water distribution effect and quality, and can provide a stable water flow rate.

[0044] According to one embodiment of the utility model, Figure 1 As shown, the cross-sectional area of ​​the cut-off opening 1102 is larger than the caliber area of ​​the longitudinal section of the first water channel 110. The water distribution effect between the water channel and the resin barrel 200 is directly affected by the cross-sectional area of ​​the cut-off opening 1102. If the size and area of ​​the cut-off opening 1102 can be increased, the water distribution effect can be improved. In the related technology, due to the connection between the water channel and the resin barrel 200 and the connection surface, it is difficult for the hole to be larger than the inner diameter of the water channel, which limits the improvement of the water distribution effect and affects the water delivery performance. In this embodiment, the cut-off opening 1102 is opened along the extension direction of the first water channel 110, and part of the structure of the first water channel 110 is located in the resin barrel 200, which can increase the caliber size of the cut-off opening 1102 and make the caliber area larger than the longitudinal section area of ​​the first water channel 110, so that the size of the cut-off opening 1102 is not limited, the water delivery performance is improved, and the overall water distribution effect is avoided due to the small caliber.

[0045] It can be understood that the resin barrel 200 is usually a cylindrical structure, the resin is usually filled in the outer circular part of the barrel body, and the resin filling part is an annular columnar structure as a whole, so that when the barrel diameter of the resin barrel 200 is determined, the amount of resin in the resin barrel 200 can also be determined, so that the diameter area of ​​the cut-off port 1102 can be adjusted to match the amount of resin to ensure the overall water distribution effect.

[0046] In specific applications, the channel portion 100 may be made of plastic, hard plastic or other materials, or, in other specific applications, the channel portion 100 may also be made of metal. The first waterway channel 110 may be integrally formed with the channel portion 100.

[0047] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the number of cut-offs 1102 is the same as the number of resin filling parts of the resin barrel 200, and each cut-off port 1102 corresponds to each resin filling part one by one. When distributing water, it is necessary to make the input water body contact with the resin filling part. In order to improve the efficiency of water treatment, this embodiment arranges a plurality of resin barrels 200, and each of the plurality of resin barrels 200 has a resin filling part. When connected, a plurality of cut-off ports 1102 are arranged on the first water channel 110, so that the water body can contact with the corresponding resin filling part respectively through each cut-off port 1102, thereby achieving the goal that the water can be processed by the plurality of resin barrels 200 at the same time after the water is input, thereby improving the processing efficiency.

[0048] In specific applications, the resin barrel 200 may be one or more. When there is one, the whole is a single resin barrel 200 structure, that is, a cut-off opening 1102 is provided on the first water channel 110, and the cut-off opening 1102 is connected to the resin filling part in the resin barrel 200, so that water can be distributed into the resin barrel 200 through the cut-off opening 1102. Of course, there can be multiple resin filling parts, and each resin filling part has a corresponding cut-off opening 1102 on the first water channel 110 to achieve water distribution for each resin filling part.

[0049] It is understood that in some embodiments, Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, an installation port 310 can be provided below the first water channel 110, and the installation port 310 is used to install the resin barrel 200, so that the cut-off port 1102 in the first water channel 110 is connected to the installation port 310, and the water can enter the resin barrel 200 through the installation port 310 and contact the resin filling part in the resin barrel 200. Of course, the installation port 310 and the resin barrel 200 can also be integrally formed, that is, the installation port 310 is used as a molded part connecting the resin barrel 200 and the channel part 100, avoiding the assembly of the resin barrel 200, simplifying the assembly process and improving the overall structural stability.

[0050] In a specific embodiment, Figure 5As shown, a mounting portion is provided at one end of the channel portion 100, and the mounting portion is fixedly connected to the channel portion 100. A mounting port 310 for installing the resin barrel 200 is provided in the mounting portion, and the mounting port 310 is connected to the cut-off port 1102, and is used to connect the cut-off port 1102 and the resin filling portion. It is understandable that the resin barrel 200 needs to be used for water treatment, and the resin barrel 200 has a resin filling portion filled with resin particles, which makes the resin barrel 200 have a certain mass, which requires the resin barrel 200 to have a relatively stable connection structure. In this embodiment, a mounting portion is provided on the lower end surface of the channel portion 100, so that the mounting portion is located as a whole at the lower end of the channel portion 100, and a mounting port 310 is provided on the mounting portion. The connection of the resin barrel 200 is achieved through the mounting port 310, which can improve the stability of the connection of the resin barrel 200. The top of the resin barrel 200 is set as an opening, so that when the resin barrel 200 is connected to the mounting port 310, the mounting port 310 and the resin barrel 200 are connected, so that the water entering the mounting port 310 can enter the resin barrel 200.

[0051] In specific applications, the resin barrel 200 and the installation opening 310 can be connected by a snap-on connection or by a threaded connection. For example, when connected by a thread, an external thread is provided on the outer periphery of the barrel opening of the resin barrel 200, and an internal thread is provided on the inner wall of the installation opening 310, and the two are connected and sealed by the thread. At this time, the barrel opening of the resin barrel 200 is located below the first water channel 110, and the water body can directly enter the resin barrel 200 through the cut-off opening 1102 on the first water channel 110 to achieve water distribution.

[0052] It can be understood that in this example, the channel portion 100 is connected to the mounting portion, and at this time, the first water channel 110 in the channel portion 100 does not directly contact the resin barrel 200, and a portion of the first water channel 110 is projected inside the resin barrel 200, and a cut-off opening 1102 of any size can be opened on this portion. Of course, the first water channel 110 is directly connected to the mounting opening 310, and the resin barrel 200 is installed in the mounting opening 310, and the resin barrel 200 and the mounting opening 310 are sealed, which makes the diameter difference between the resin barrel 200 and the mounting opening 310 smaller, so the first water channel 110 can also be opened with any diameter size of the portion that overlaps with the inner diameter of the mounting opening 310, that is, in this embodiment, the size of the cut-off opening 1102 is less than or equal to the size of the portion where the first water channel 110 overlaps with the mounting opening 310.

[0053] In specific applications, the mounting portion can be made of materials such as engineering plastics, hard plastics, etc., or, in other specific applications, the mounting portion can also be made of metal. The mounting opening 310 and the mounting portion can be prepared by integral molding.

[0054] In specific settings, the mounting portion and the channel portion 100 can be made of the same material. In other embodiments, the mounting portion and the channel portion 100 can also be made of different materials. The mounting portion and the channel portion 100 can be formed in one piece. Of course, the channel portion 100 and the mounting portion can also be connected by a fixed connection method such as welding. For example, when formed in one piece, part of the channel portion 100 is shared with part of the mounting portion, and the entirety of the channel portion 100 is located on the top cross-section of the mounting opening 310, which makes it easy for the water channel in the channel portion 100 to distribute water through the mounting opening 310.

[0055] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the number of mounting ports 310 is the same as the number of resin filling parts of the resin barrel 200, and each mounting port 310 corresponds to each resin filling part. The mounting port 310 is used to mount the resin barrel 200. When it is necessary to improve the water quality treatment performance, it can be achieved by setting a plurality of resin barrels 200. In this embodiment, when there are multiple resin barrels 200, they are connected through multiple mounting ports 310, so that each truncation port 1102 connected to the mounting port 310 can be connected, and multiple resin barrels 200 can be processed simultaneously, thereby improving the processing efficiency.

[0056] In specific configuration, the installation openings 310 can be arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the water channel, so that the water channel can be connected to each installation opening 310, thereby meeting the requirement that each cut-off opening 1102 is connected to the resin filling part through the installation opening 310. This configuration is simple in structure and easy to prepare.

[0057] According to one embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, a first connection port 1101 is provided on the first water channel 110 between every two cut-off ports 1102, and the first connection port 1101 is used for inputting or outputting the working fluid. Since the cut-off ports 1102 are opened along the extension direction of the water channel, the water body will hardly cross the cut-off ports 1102. In this example, when there are multiple cut-off ports 1102, the first connection port 1101 is set between two cut-off ports 1102, so that the input water body can enter the resin tank through the cut-off ports 1102 on both sides respectively. Similarly, when outputting, the water working fluid on both sides of the first connection port 1101 can be gathered at the position of the first connection port 1101 through the cut-off ports 1102 respectively, thereby realizing the input and output of the water body.

[0058] It is understandable that the way of connecting the first connection port 1101 between the two cut-off ports 1102 can achieve better distribution of the incoming water medium, so that the water medium can flow from the first connection port 1101 to the cut-off ports 1102 and achieve water distribution. Similarly, when the water softener is backwashing and regenerating, the water medium in the resin barrel 200 can be gathered from the cut-off ports 1102 on both sides toward the first connection port 1101, and output from the first connection port 1101, so as to achieve the convergence of the waterway.

[0059] It can be understood that in the softening state, the first water channel 110 is connected to the raw water, and the raw water enters the resin barrel 200 through the cutoff 1102 for water distribution. The raw water removes the calcium and magnesium ions in the water by contacting with the resin, and then flows upward from the bottom of the central tube in the resin barrel 200 and is output through another water channel, thereby completing the softening of the water body. It can be seen that in the softening process, the soft water can achieve better water distribution through the cutoff 1102. In the backwash regeneration state, the salt water is input from the top of the central tube through another water channel and output from the bottom of the central tube, and then the salt water can remove the calcium and magnesium ions adsorbed on the resin and re-absorb the sodium ions, thereby realizing the regeneration of the resin. The regenerated water medium is output from the first water channel 110 through the cutoff 1102. In this way, the softening and regenerated water flow is realized.

[0060] In one embodiment of the utility model, the channel portion 100 further includes a second water channel 120, and the second water channel 120 includes a connecting port 1202, which is used to communicate with the central tube of the resin barrel 200, and the diameter of the connecting port 1202 is larger than the diameter of the central tube of the resin barrel 200. The second water channel 120 and the first water channel 110 are both used for the flow of water. During the softening and backwashing regeneration process, the water will pass through the central tube. The size of the connecting port 1202 needs not to affect the water conveyance capacity of the entire water flow. In this embodiment, the mouth of the connecting port 1202 is limited to be larger than the diameter of the central tube, so that the connecting port 1202 does not affect the water conveyance capacity of the entire water channel, making the overall performance more stable.

[0061] In specific applications, such as Figure 3As shown, the size of the cut-off port 1102 is larger than the size of the connecting port 1202. The cut-off port 1102 is used for water distribution and discharge of water working fluid after regeneration. When distributing water, since the raw water needs to be in full contact with the filled resin, the water body is subject to greater resistance. By limiting the size of the cut-off port 1102 to be larger than the size of the connecting port 1202, the overall water channel water delivery capacity will not be limited by the cut-off port 1102, thereby improving the stability of the overall water delivery capacity. Similarly, during regeneration, the water body also needs to enter the first water channel 110 through the cut-off port 1102 and then be discharged. The size limitation of the cut-off port 1102 can also improve the stability of the overall water delivery capacity.

[0062] In one embodiment of the utility model, the number of the communication ports 1202 is the same as the number of the central tubes, and each communication port 1202 corresponds to each central tube. When softening and regenerating water, it is necessary to make the water pass through the central tube to achieve output or contact with the resin. In order to improve the efficiency of water treatment, this embodiment sets a plurality of resin barrels 200, and each of the plurality of resin barrels 200 has a central tube. When connected, by setting a plurality of communication ports 1202 on the second waterway channel 120, the water can be connected to the corresponding central tube through each communication port 1202, thereby achieving multiple waterway inputs and being able to be processed through multiple resin barrels 200 at the same time, thereby improving the processing efficiency.

[0063] In some specific examples, a second connection port 1201 is provided on the second water channel 120 between every two communication ports 1202, and the second connection port 1201 is used for the output or input of the working fluid. When the water body is in a softening state or a regenerating state, there is water flowing in the second water channel 120. In order to simplify the input and output of the water body, in this embodiment, the second connection port 1201 is provided on the second water channel 120 to realize the collection or dispersion of the water, so that when there are multiple communication ports 1202, the number of ports can be reduced, thereby simplifying the overall structure.

[0064] When the water is softened, the raw water rises from the central tube after being softened and enters the second waterway channel 120 through the connecting port 1202. If there are multiple connecting ports 1202, the water will converge to the second connecting port 1201 and be output, thus realizing the convergence of the waterway. When regenerating, the salt water is input through the second connecting port 1201. If there are multiple connecting ports 1202, the water will be dispersed to each connecting port 1202 and enter each central tube, thus realizing the dispersion of the waterway.

[0065] In the specific configuration, the first water channel 110 is connected to an outgoing passage, the outgoing passage extends toward the center of the resin barrel 200, and a connecting port 1202 is provided at the bottom of the end of the outgoing passage, and the connecting port 1202 is connected to the central tube at the center of the resin barrel 200 to realize the circulation of the water channel. It can be understood that arranging the central tube at the center position can make the water channel dispersed or converged by the central tube more evenly, so that the water body can be evenly contacted with the resin during regeneration.

[0066] In some specific examples, the first water channel 110 and the second water channel 120 are arranged in parallel. During the softening and regeneration process of water, water needs to flow through the first water channel 110 and the second water channel 120. The parallel arrangement makes the overall structure more regular, reducing the difficulty of preparation and manufacturing cost.

[0067] The following is described through specific embodiments, and the following embodiments can be referenced to the various embodiments of the water channel connecting components mentioned above.

[0068] The utility model provides a water softener in one embodiment. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it includes a resin barrel 200 and a water channel connecting component provided in any of the above embodiments. The water channel connecting component is located on one side of the axial direction of the resin barrel 200, and the resin barrel 200 and the water channel connecting component are integrally formed.

[0069] In this embodiment, since the resin barrel 200 is integrally formed with the entire water channel connection component, the installation portion is the barrel mouth portion of the resin barrel 200, and the installation port 310 is the portion where the resin barrel 200 and the channel portion 100 are connected, and the resin barrel 200 is integrally formed with the channel portion 100. This arrangement eliminates the preparation process and assembly process of the resin barrel 200, and does not require the resin barrel 200 to be assembled and connected with the installation portion, so that the overall assembly parts are fewer and the stability of the overall structure is improved.

[0070] Another embodiment of the present invention also provides a water softener, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, it includes a resin barrel 200 and a water channel connecting component provided in any of the above embodiments. The water channel connecting component is located on one side of the resin barrel 200 in the axial direction and is fixedly connected to the resin barrel 200.

[0071] In this embodiment, the mounting part and the resin barrel 200 are separately provided, that is, the mounting part and the channel part 100 are integrally formed, and an independent mounting port 310 is provided on the mounting part. Each mounting port 310 is connected to a resin barrel 200, and the resin barrel 200 is detachably connected to the mounting part by means of threaded connection or other connection methods. This method can adapt to the specifications of conventional resin barrels 200, making it have good applicability.

[0072] Through the description of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that in each embodiment, a cut-off port 1102 is provided in the first water channel 110, and communication with the installation port 310 is achieved through the cut-off port 1102. The cut-off port 1102 is opened along the extension direction of the channel, so that the size of the cut-off port 1102 can be larger than the inner diameter of the water channel, so that even in a smaller water channel, it can have a larger connecting port 1202 diameter, thereby improving the quality of water distribution through the larger connecting port 1202 diameter.

[0073] 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. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the utility model.
