[0002] Water contains hardness ions such as calcium and magnesium. The impact of hardness ions on daily use includes poor washing effect, reduced thermal efficiency after scaling of pipe walls, and skin irritation. Water softeners can use ion exchange resins to replace hardness ions in water, thereby effectively removing hardness ions in water and softening water. The replacement capacity of ion exchange resins is limited. When the resin fails, it needs to be regenerated with the help of high-concentration salt water.

[0003] The existing water softening system has a low utilization rate of ion exchange resins during use. In order to achieve the desired amount of treated water, the amount of ion exchange resins needs to be increased, resulting in a larger volume of the resin container, which in turn causes the volume of the entire water softener to be too large.

[0008] In one embodiment, the softening cavity includes at least one liquid flow channel, and the liquid flow channel is arranged transversely in the softening cavity;

[0009] The effective flow channel length of the liquid flow channel is 3-85 times the effective diameter of the liquid flow channel, wherein the effective flow channel length is the liquid flow distance between the first water distribution component and the second water distribution component, and the effective diameter is the longest connecting line distance between the two ends of the liquid flow channel cross section.

[0010] In one embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the liquid flow channel is circular or square.

[0011] In one of the embodiments, if the cross-sectional shape of the liquid flow channel is a radial line, the resin holding container further includes n-1 partitions, wherein n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2;

[0012] The partition is arranged inside the tank body of the resin holding container to divide the softening cavity into n liquid flow channels, and two adjacent partitions are arranged on different sides inside the tank body so that the liquid in the two adjacent liquid flow channels moves in different directions.

[0013] In one embodiment, the tank body of the resin container includes n-1 bending parts, wherein n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] In order to facilitate understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. Embodiments of the present application are provided in the drawings. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0038] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

[0039] It is understood that the terms "first", "second", etc. used in this application may be used herein to describe various elements, but these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish a first element from another element. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, a first resistor may be referred to as a second resistor, and similarly, a second resistor may be referred to as a first resistor. Both the first resistor and the second resistor are resistors, but they are not the same resistor.

[0040] It can be understood that the “connection” in the following embodiments should be understood as “electrical connection”, “communication connection”, etc. if the connected circuits, modules, units, etc. have electrical signals or data transmission between each other.

[0041] It can be understood that “at least one” means one or more, “plurality” means two or more, and “at least a portion of an element” means a part or all of an element.

[0042] When used herein, the singular forms "a", "an", and "said / the" may also include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms "include / comprise" or "have" and the like specify the presence of stated features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof, but do not exclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof. At the same time, the term "and / or" used in this specification includes any and all combinations of the relevant listed items.

[0043] As mentioned in the previous background technology section, the volume of the resin container in the existing water softening system occupies a large area. In the application scenario where the amount of ion exchange resin needs to be increased to improve the water softening capacity of the water softening system, the volume of the resin container will be further expanded, resulting in the size of the entire water softener equipment being affected. Figure 1 The resin container shown has a U-shaped tank body as a whole. Water flows from top to bottom from the water inlets at both ends of the U-shaped resin container and flows out from the central tube, so that the ion exchange resin arranged in the U-shaped pipe contacts the water body to achieve hardness ion replacement.

[0044] in, Figure 1 The resin container shown also includes an upper water distributor and a lower water distributor. The upper water distributor is used to provide a certain flow of water to the water inlets at both ends of the resin container. The lower water distributor is used to directly provide a certain flow of water to the central tube. Obviously, Figure 1 The resin container shown occupies a relatively large size in the longitudinal space, and because the structure of the resin container is relatively fixed, when the application requires increasing the contact area between the resin container and the water body, it can only be expanded in the longitudinal space to increase the contact area between the resin container and the water body.

[0045] The present application provides a resin holding container, which can effectively solve the problem of the resin container occupying too large a size in the soft water system, and can flexibly extend the resin flow channel inside the resin container, fully expand the contact area between the ion exchange resin and the water body, and effectively improve the soft water capacity of the soft water system and the regeneration efficiency of the ion exchange resin.

[0046] like Figure 2As shown, a resin holding container is provided, which is applied to a soft water system, and includes: a softening cavity 120, wherein the liquid flow channel of the softening cavity 120 is used to store ion exchange resin, and the total transverse length of the liquid flow channel in the softening cavity is greater than the total longitudinal length of the liquid flow channel. The total transverse length of the liquid flow channel in the softening cavity is the sum of the lengths of the liquid flow channels arranged transversely. The total longitudinal length of the liquid flow channel is the sum of the lengths of the liquid flow channels arranged longitudinally.

[0047] Specifically, as shown in the accompanying drawings, the tank body of the resin container in this embodiment can be a single-layer tank body arranged horizontally (also called horizontally). Since the tank body is horizontally placed, the entire machine corresponding to the tank body of the resin container does not occupy space in height, and at the same time, the liquid flow channel can extend in both directions in length. Therefore, the lateral space of the resin container in this embodiment is also controllable.

[0048] In some specific embodiments, in order to reduce the length of the horizontal space occupied by the whole machine, the tank body of the resin container can also be set as a connected double-layer or multi-layer tank body to make the whole machine structure more compact. When the tank body is a connected double-layer or multi-layer tank body, different from a single-layer tank body, the water flow direction at the connection of each layer of liquid flow channel is a local vertical flow, but the water flow direction of the main flow channel is still a horizontal flow.

[0049] In actual application, the liquid flow channel arranged longitudinally in this embodiment is usually a bent portion of the liquid flow channel, and only exists when the softening cavity 120 includes multiple liquid flow channels. If the softening cavity 120 includes only one liquid flow channel, the liquid flow channel will be arranged transversely, and the total longitudinal length is 0.

[0050] Specifically, the liquid flow channel of the softening cavity 120 is used to store ion exchange resin, and the liquid moves in a horizontal direction through the softening cavity 120 during ion exchange.

[0051] Specifically, a large amount of ion exchange resin is placed in the softening chamber 120 in this embodiment. The ion exchange resin can be used to replace the hardness ions in the water body, thereby removing the hardness ions in the water body and obtaining soft water with softened water quality. When the ion exchange resin fails, the resin can be regenerated using high-concentration salt water. By taking advantage of the ion concentration, the sodium ions on the surface of the salt water exchange resin or the Ca in the pipeline can be used to regenerate the resin. 2+ Mg 2+ Ions of equal hardness.

[0052] In this embodiment, the ion exchange portion of the softening cavity 120 refers to the portion of the tank body that is disposed transversely. Specifically, in this embodiment, being disposed transversely refers to a configuration that is parallel to the ground plane. In this embodiment, being disposed longitudinally refers to a configuration that is perpendicular to the ground plane. It should be noted that in this embodiment, both the transversely disposed liquid flow channel and the longitudinally disposed liquid flow channel include ion exchange resins therein, and the ion exchange portion in this embodiment specifically refers to the transversely disposed softening cavity 120, and is not limited to only the transversely disposed softening cavity 120 being used to achieve hardness ion replacement.

[0053] In actual application, the resin container provided in this embodiment is arranged in a horizontal manner in the soft water system. The water body in this embodiment is affected by the water pressure and flows in the softening cavity 120 in a direction corresponding to the current operation mode of the soft water system. Since the ion exchange part of the softening cavity 120 in this embodiment is arranged horizontally, the water body flows in a horizontal direction when passing through the ion exchange part of the softening cavity 120. Among them, the horizontal direction in this embodiment refers to the direction parallel to the ground.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, water will flow through the softening chamber 120 in this embodiment at a certain flow rate and a certain temperature, so that the water can more fully contact the ion exchange resin in the softening chamber 120 to fully utilize the hardness ion replacement capacity of the ion exchange resin.

[0055] In summary, the resin container provided in this embodiment adopts a softening cavity with a horizontal design, so that the softening cavity will occupy less longitudinal space in the overall soft water system, and there is no need to set up, for example Figure 1 The water outlet structure of the central tube further reduces the space occupied by the resin container, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the soft water system.

[0056] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the resin holding container in this embodiment includes a liquid inlet cavity 110, a softening cavity 120 and a liquid outlet cavity 130, wherein the liquid inlet cavity 110 and the softening cavity 120 are separated by a first water distribution member 140, and the softening cavity 120 and the liquid outlet cavity 130 are separated by a second water distribution member 150. Specifically, the liquid inlet cavity 110 and the liquid outlet cavity 130 occupy 0.3%-5% of the space of the resin holding container, and the softening cavity 120 occupies 95%-99.7% of the space of the resin holding container.

[0057] Specifically, the tank body of the resin container is divided into three chambers by the first water distribution member 140 and the second water distribution member 150, wherein the liquid inlet chamber 110 and the liquid outlet chamber each have an opening for connecting the water pipe in the soft water system. In actual application, the water flow direction can be to enter from the opening of the liquid inlet chamber 110 and flow out from the opening of the liquid outlet chamber 130, or to enter from the opening of the liquid outlet chamber 130 and flow out from the opening of the liquid inlet chamber 110. It should be noted that the water flow direction is affected by the water pressure, and the cavity name in this embodiment does not limit the flow direction of the water.

[0058] In a specific embodiment, the liquid inlet cavity 110 includes a liquid inlet 111, and the liquid outlet cavity 130 includes a liquid outlet 131. When the soft water system is in different modes, the flow direction of the liquid in the softening cavity 120 is different. For example, when the soft water system is in the water production mode, the water enters from the liquid inlet 111, flows from the liquid inlet cavity 110 to the liquid outlet cavity 130, and flows out from the liquid outlet 131. When the soft water system is in the backwash mode or the regeneration mode, the water enters from the liquid outlet 131, flows from the liquid outlet cavity 130 to the liquid inlet cavity 110, and flows out from the liquid inlet 111.

[0059] Specifically, the aperture of the openings on the first water distribution member 140 and the second water distribution member 150 is smaller than the minimum particle size of the ion exchange resin, thereby ensuring that the ion exchange resin fills the interior of the softening cavity 120 without leakage. This embodiment does not limit the minimum particle size of the ion exchange resin, which can be determined according to the needs of the actual application scenario. In a specific embodiment, the material of the first water distribution member 140 and the second water distribution member 150 can be a hard material or a mesh, and this embodiment does not limit the material of the first water distribution member 140 and the second water distribution member 150. The first water distribution member 140 and the second water distribution member 150 can make the water body fully contact with the ion exchange resin, and fix the ion exchange resin in the softening cavity 120, so that the ion exchange resin will not be dispersed in the tank due to the action of water flow.

[0060] In a specific embodiment, the first water distribution member 140 and the second water distribution member 150 can make the water body evenly contact the ion exchange resin stored in the softening cavity, and the two water distribution members work together to confine the ion exchange resin inside the softening cavity to ensure that the hardness ion exchange reaction occurs in the softening cavity, which is more conducive to controlling the contact area between the water body and the ion exchange resin during the ion exchange process. The first water distribution member 140 and the second water distribution member 150 can be injection molded parts with meshes, high-strength nylon mesh or PP mesh, etc. This embodiment does not limit the specific structural type of the first water distribution member 140 and the second water distribution member 150.

[0061] The resin holding container provided in this embodiment is based on the first water distribution part and the second water distribution part to separate the liquid inlet cavity, the softening cavity and the liquid outlet cavity, so that the water body can fully stay in the softening cavity, and the contact area between the ion exchange resin and the water body is greatly increased. When the soft water system is in the water production mode, the resin holding container can better provide water softening ability, and when the soft water system is in the regeneration mode, the regeneration efficiency of the ion exchange resin in the resin holding container will be fully improved. In addition, the water body in this embodiment flows in the softening cavity only under the action of water pressure, and there will be fewer residual solid salt particles in the ion exchange resin, which helps to improve the regeneration effect of the ion exchange resin.

[0062] In one embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the softening cavity 120 includes at least one liquid flow channel, and the liquid flow channel is arranged horizontally in the softening cavity 120. Specifically, as Figure 2 As shown, the softening chamber 120 may include only one liquid flow channel. Figure 3 As shown, the softening chamber 120 may also include two liquid flow channels. Figure 3 The intermediate softening chamber 120 includes a first liquid flow channel 121 and a second liquid flow channel 122 .

[0063] The effective length of the liquid flow channel is 3-85 times the effective diameter of the liquid flow channel, wherein the effective length is the liquid flow distance between the first water distribution component 140 and the second water distribution component 150, and the effective diameter is the longest connecting line distance of the liquid flow channel cross section.

[0064] In this embodiment, the effective flow channel length may be the total length of the ion exchange resin filled in the liquid flow channel. Figure 1 As shown, the effective flow channel length is the straight-line distance between the first water distribution member 140 and the second water distribution member 150. Figure 2 As shown, the effective flow channel length is the moving distance of water flowing from the first water distribution member 140 to the second water distribution member 150 in the softening chamber 120 .

[0065] The effective diameter is the distance between the longest two ends of the cross section of a single liquid flow channel. For example, if the cross section of the liquid flow channel is an irregular shape, the distance between the longest two ends of the irregular shape needs to be obtained as the effective diameter of the liquid flow channel.

[0066] In actual application, the shape of the liquid flow channel can be designed according to the needs of the actual application scenario. For example, the cross-section of the liquid flow channel can be circular, semicircular, square, triangular or trapezoidal, etc. This embodiment does not limit the specific shape of the cross-section of the liquid flow channel. Preferably, the cross-section of the liquid flow channel is circular or square to maximize the contact area between the ion exchange resin and the water body.

[0067] Since the softening cavity 120 in this embodiment is arranged horizontally as a whole, it is necessary to set a suitable ratio of the flow channel length to the flow channel diameter so that the water body can flow in the liquid flow channel at a stable flow rate following the water pressure. In this embodiment, the minimum ratio of the effective flow channel length of the liquid flow channel to the effective diameter of the liquid flow channel is 3:1, and the maximum ratio is 85:1. This embodiment does not limit the specific values ​​of the effective flow channel length and the effective diameter of the liquid flow channel, and can be adaptively configured according to the needs of the actual application scenario.

[0068] In one embodiment, Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, if the cross-sectional shape of the liquid flow channel is a square, the resin containing container may further include n-1 separators 160, wherein n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0069] The partition 160 is disposed inside the tank body of the resin containing container to divide the softening cavity 120 into n liquid flow channels, and two adjacent partitions 160 are disposed on different sides inside the tank body so that the liquid in the two adjacent liquid flow channels moves in different directions.

[0070] In a specific embodiment, the present embodiment can divide the softening cavity 120 into a plurality of liquid flow channels by setting a partition 160 inside the tank body inside the softening cavity 120. Figure 3 As shown, when a partition 160 is provided, the softening chamber 120 is divided into a first liquid flow channel 121 and a second liquid flow channel 122. Figure 4 As shown, when two partitions 160 are provided, the softening chamber 120 is divided into three liquid flow channels. Figure 5 As shown, when three partitions 160 are provided, the softening chamber 120 is divided into four liquid flow channels.

[0071] In actual application, two adjacent partitions 160 can be disposed oppositely on different sides of the tank body, so that the liquid movement directions of the water in two adjacent liquid flow channels are completely opposite.

[0072] This embodiment can effectively extend the effective flow path length of the liquid flow path in the softening cavity 120 by providing multiple partitions 160. Preferably, this embodiment adopts the method of adding partitions 160 in the softening cavity 120, which can realize a resin container with a smaller horizontal space occupation, and appropriately expand the longitudinal space, which can extend the effective flow path length of the liquid flow path by multiples, thereby greatly improving the softening performance of the resin container.

[0073] It should be noted that the resin containing container in this embodiment is divided into a plurality of liquid flow paths by providing a partition only when the liquid flow paths are in a square shape.

[0074] In one embodiment, Figure 6a , Figure 6b and Figure 6c As shown, the tank body of the resin containing container includes n-1 bending parts, wherein n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0075] The bent portion forms n liquid flow channels inside the softening cavity 120 , and the liquids in two adjacent liquid flow channels move in different directions.

[0076] Specifically, the tank body of the resin holding container may be an integrally formed design, and a softening cavity 120 having a plurality of liquid flow channels may be formed by welding, bonding or bonding a plurality of tank bodies of the same shape.

[0077] Specifically, if the resin containing container in this embodiment adopts an integrally formed design, a plurality of liquid flow paths are divided by the bent portion, and the cross-section of the liquid flow path can be in the shape of either a square or a circle.

[0078] In one embodiment, the bent portion is arc-shaped or square-shaped. Figure 7a , Figure 7b and Figure 7c As shown, the bent portion of the resin containing container may also be in a square shape.

[0079] In actual application, the specific shape of the bent portion can be determined according to the shape of the tank body used in the process of integrally forming the liquid flow channel. For example, if the cross-sectional shape of the liquid flow channel is square, the bent portion is also square. If the cross-sectional shape of the liquid flow channel is circular, the bent portion is arc-shaped.

[0080] In one embodiment, the contact portions of the first water distribution member 140 , the second water distribution member 150 , and the partition member 160 with the tank body of the resin container are all sealed.

[0081] Specifically, the sealing treatment method can be glue sealing, welding sealing, sealing ring sealing, etc. In some feasible embodiments, the second water distribution member 150, the first water distribution member 140 and the partition 160 can also be formed integrally with the tank body of the resin container to achieve sealing of the contact parts.

[0082] Specifically, the sealing treatment of the first water distribution member 140, the second water distribution member 150 and the partition 160 can fix the ion exchange resin stored in the softening cavity 120 and ensure that the water moves evenly in the softening cavity 120 and fully contacts with the ion exchange resin.

[0083] In one embodiment, when the softening chamber 120 includes at least two liquid flow channels, the cross-sectional shapes of the liquid flow channels are the same.

[0084] Specifically, when the softening chamber 120 in this embodiment includes a plurality of liquid flow channels, the cross-sectional shape of each liquid flow channel is the same. In order to ensure that the flow direction of the water body in the softening chamber 120 is stable and that the water body is in uniform and sufficient contact with the ion exchange resin, in the specific implementation process, the space size occupied by the ion exchange parts of the plurality of liquid flow channels can be kept the same.

[0085] In one embodiment, when the softening chamber 120 includes at least two liquid flow channels, the liquid movement direction at the connection between two adjacent liquid flow channels is irregular.

[0086] Specifically, for the softening cavity 120 with a square bending portion, or the softening cavity 120 with an added partition 160, the liquid flow direction at the connection between two adjacent liquid flow channels undergoes two 90° turns, while for the softening cavity 120 with an arc-shaped bending portion, the liquid movement direction changes by 180°.

[0087] In a specific embodiment, the liquid movement direction at the connection of two adjacent liquid flow channels can be determined according to the specific structure of the push-flow softening chamber 120 in the actual application scenario, which is not limited here. It can be understood that the irregular direction in this embodiment means that the liquid movement direction will change according to the change of the structure, and does not generally mean that the liquid will flow arbitrarily.

[0088] In summary, this embodiment provides a resin container, which can not only effectively control the occupancy of the resin container in the horizontal space, but also further control the occupancy of the resin container in the vertical space. This embodiment can provide a resin container including multiple liquid flow channels, which greatly expands the effective length of the ion exchange resin and effectively improves the softening performance of the resin container for water. After being applied to the soft water system, the contact area between the ion exchange resin and the high-concentration salt water increases, which can be more conducive to the full regeneration of the ion exchange resin and effectively improve the utilization efficiency of the regenerated salt.

[0089] In addition, if Figure 8 As shown, the present embodiment further provides a soft water system, which includes a pre-filter 801, a resin container 802, a salt box 803, a water tank 804, a controller, a first switch 805, a second switch 806, a third switch 807, a fourth switch 808, a fifth switch 809, a sixth switch 810, a seventh switch 811, a first water pump 812, a second water pump 813, an eighth switch 814 and a heating module 815.

[0090] Specifically, the resin container 802 is the resin containing container in the aforementioned embodiment.

[0091] The resin container 802 in this embodiment is placed in a lying manner, that is, inside the tank, the water flow direction is parallel to the ground and flows horizontally. Compared with the conventional water softener water flow direction perpendicular to the ground, the resin container 802 in this embodiment is flatter and does not occupy height space, thereby effectively reducing the size of the water softener equipment.

[0092] In addition, the resin container 802 of the present embodiment adopts a multi-layer resin flow channel structure, which can effectively increase the effective contact distance between water and resin, thereby improving the softening performance of the soft water system, and effectively improving the regeneration ability of high-concentration salt solution for ion exchange resin, and effectively improving the utilization rate of solid salt.

[0093] It should be noted that the soft water system in this embodiment is only used as an example, and the soft water system may also be equipped with corresponding equipment according to the needs of actual application scenarios. This embodiment does not specifically limit the actual structure of the soft water system.

[0094] In addition, a soft water system control method is also provided, comprising:

[0095] In the water production mode, the water is controlled to enter from the liquid inlet cavity of the resin holding container and flow out from the liquid outlet cavity of the resin holding container according to the preset flow parameters;

[0096] In the regeneration mode, the water is controlled to enter from the liquid outlet cavity of the resin containing container according to the preset flow rate parameters and the preset temperature parameters, and to flow out from the liquid inlet cavity of the resin containing container.
