Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water purifiers, and more specifically to a concentrated water purification system for a water purifier. Background Art
[0002] The water inlet of existing countertop water purifiers is generally from a water tank, so in order to avoid frequent water changes, the water production rate needs to be increased to achieve a better user experience. Existing solutions: 1. Increase the water resistance of concentrated water to increase the single recovery rate; 2. Mix the concentrated water with the raw water and circulate the filtration to increase the final recovery rate. Insufficients of Solution 1: Increasing the water resistance of concentrated water will slow down the flow rate on the surface of the RO membrane, making it easier for impurities to accumulate on the surface, which will eventually shorten the life of the RO membrane and increase the user's cost of use; Insufficients of Solution 2: Gradual concentration will cause the inlet TDS to gradually increase, and the outlet water quality will deteriorate under the same desalination rate. For example, the Chinese patent authorization announcement number is CN217627887U, which discloses a reverse osmosis concentrated water recovery system, including a raw water tank, a reuse water tank, an ultrafiltration water tank, a reverse osmosis device and a sludge tank; the raw water tank is connected to a coagulation device; the coagulation device is provided with a dosing device; the coagulation device is connected to a multi-media filter, a disc filter and a UF filter arranged in series; the UF filter is respectively connected to the reuse water tank and the ultrafiltration water tank; the ultrafiltration water tank is connected to a first-level reverse osmosis device; the first-level reverse osmosis device is respectively connected to the reuse water tank and the second-level reverse osmosis device; the second-level reverse osmosis device is connected to a coagulation device; the coagulation device is provided with a dosing device; the coagulation device is connected to a mud-water separation device, a multi-media filter and an ion filter arranged in series; the ion filter is connected to the reuse water tank. This patent structure makes reasonable use of circulating water and reduces the water cost of the enterprise, but the disadvantage is that the concentrated water is refluxed and repeatedly filtered, which is easy to accumulate impurities and increase the user's use cost. For this reason, it is necessary to further improve the existing technology. Summary of the invention
