Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water softeners, in particular to a salt quantity monitoring device for a water-electricity separation type water softener. Background Art

[0002] The reduction and regeneration of the water softener resin is carried out with a sodium chloride aqueous solution. In the reduction and regeneration process, the working water flow of the water softener is first stopped, and concentrated brine is drawn from the salt barrel into the resin filter barrel. The brine solution soaks the resin and contacts the resin with calcium and magnesium ions. Although the charge of calcium and magnesium ions is stronger than that of sodium ions, the concentrated brine contains millions of weaker sodium ions, which have the ability to replace a smaller number of calcium and magnesium ions. In this way, when the calcium and magnesium ions are replaced and exchanged, the resin is reduced and regenerated, and is ready for the next softening work, and so on.

In the utility model, when the signal receiver receives the signal sent by the signal transmitter, it means that the salt level has not reached this place, otherwise it has reached it, and if one adjacent signal receiver receives a signal and the other does not receive a signal, it means that the salt level is between here, so the salt level in the salt barrel can be clearly confirmed.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned technical device detects the salt level in the barrel by means of mutual induction of multiple signal transmitters and signal receivers installed inside the salt barrel. However, since the device needs to use multiple signal transmitters and signal receivers, the required materials and manufacturing processes also increase, making the manufacturing cost of the device relatively high.

[0012] Beneficial Effects

[0013] The utility model provides a salt monitoring device for a water-electricity separation type water softener. Compared with the prior art, it has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) In the salt content monitoring device for a water-electric separation type water softener, the salt barrel moves downward under the action of gravity, and the force is transmitted to the connecting rod through the support platform, so that the connecting rod pushes the piston to move downward inside the column, thereby changing the liquid in the transparent tube to rise or fall.

[0015] (2) The salt content monitoring device for the water-electric separation type water softener moves the threaded rod upward or downward by turning the knob, and then the support platform is moved synchronously by the movable rod.

At this time, the height of the float is controlled by the rise or fall of the liquid level inside the transparent tube, and the height of the float is controlled to be at the zero position on the scale line, thereby calibrating the weight of the salt barrel to zero.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] 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.

[0024] The utility model provides two technical solutions:

[0025] Figure 1-Figure 6The first embodiment is shown: a salt content monitoring device for a water-electric separation type water softener, comprising a base plate 1, a connecting rod 4 is movably provided near the middle position of the end surface of the base plate 1, a column 5 is fixedly pressed near the middle position of the bottom end of the base plate 1, the bottom end of the connecting rod 4 movably passes through the top of the column 5 and extends to the inside, a piston 41 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 4, the outer wall of the piston 41 fits with the inner wall of the column 5, the bottom end of the column 5 is fixedly connected to a transparent tube 6, a floating ball 61 is movably provided inside the transparent tube 6, and a scale line 62 is provided on the outer surface of the transparent tube 6. The salt barrel 71 moves downward under the action of gravity, and the force is transmitted to the connecting rod 4 through the support platform 2, so that the connecting rod 4 pushes the piston 41 to move downward inside the column 5, thereby changing the rise or fall of the liquid in the transparent tube 6. At this time, by observing the relative position of the floating ball 61 floating on the liquid and the scale line 62, the salt content in the salt barrel 71 can be intuitively judged.

[0026] A pipe plug 63 is embedded in the top surface port of the transparent tube 6, and a mounting hole 64 is penetrated at the end of the pipe plug 63. A filter screen 65 is arranged inside the mounting hole 64. The mounting hole 63 is provided to facilitate the removal of air inside the transparent tube 6, and the filter screen 65 is provided to isolate external dust from entering the transparent tube 6.

[0027] Figure 1-Figure 6 A second embodiment is shown, and its main difference from the first embodiment is that a plurality of legs 11 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the substrate 1 near the edge, a support platform 2 is fixedly installed on the top end of the connecting rod 4, a plurality of movable rods 21 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the support platform 2 near the edge, the bottom end of the movable rod 21 movably passes through the top surface of the substrate 1 and extends downward, and a threaded rod 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the movable rod 21, and the movable rod 21 is provided to guide and limit the support platform 2.

[0028] A spring 22 is sleeved on the outside of the movable rod 21, the top end of the spring 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support platform 2, and the bottom end of the spring 22 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base plate 1. When the amount of salt inside the salt barrel 71 decreases, under the action of the spring 22, the support platform 2 will be continuously lifted up by itself according to the weight of the salt barrel 71, so that the position of the float 61 can be changed synchronously.

[0029] The outer surface of the threaded rod 23 is threadedly sleeved with a knob 3, and the top of the knob 3 is fixedly connected with a plurality of connecting columns 31, and a rotating block 32 is fixedly connected between the bottom surfaces of the plurality of connecting columns 31, and the inner wall of the rotating block 32 is movably connected to the outer wall of the movable rod 21, and the top of the rotating block 32 is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the base plate 1, and the threaded rod 23 is moved upward or downward by turning the knob 3, and then the support platform 2 is synchronously moved through the movable rod 21, and when the support platform 2 moves, the connecting rod 4 is driven to move synchronously, and at this time, the piston 41 moves inside the column 5, thereby playing a role in adjusting the size of the space for accommodating liquid inside the column 5, and by appropriately adjusting the space of the liquid inside the column 5, the liquid inside the transparent tube 6 can be made to rise or fall, and at this time, the height of the float 61 is controlled by the rise or fall of the liquid level inside the transparent tube 6, and the height of the float 61 is controlled at the zero position on the scale line 62, thereby calibrating the weight of the salt barrel 71 to zero.

[0030] A plurality of connecting rods 7 are fixedly mounted on the top surface of the support platform 2 near the edge, and a salt barrel 71 is fixedly mounted between the top surfaces of the plurality of connecting rods 7 .

[0031] Meanwhile, the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0032] When in use, when the interior of the salt barrel 71 is empty, the pipe plug 63 is pulled out from the transparent tube 6, and then a proper amount of non-volatile liquid is added to the transparent tube 6. At this time, under the action of buoyancy, the float 61 floats on the surface of the liquid, and the liquid enters the interior of the column 5 through the other port of the transparent tube 6. After that, the threaded rod 23 is moved upward or downward by turning the knob 3, and then the support platform 2 is moved synchronously through the movable rod 21. When the support platform 2 moves, it drives the connecting rod 4 to move synchronously. At this time, the piston 41 moves inside the column 5, thereby playing a role in adjusting the size of the space inside the column 5 to accommodate the liquid. By properly adjusting the space of the liquid inside the column 5, the liquid inside the transparent tube 6 can be made to rise. Or decrease, at this time, the height of the float 61 is controlled by the rise or fall of the liquid level inside the transparent tube 6, and the height of the float 61 is controlled at the zero position on the scale line 62, so as to calibrate the weight of the salt barrel 71 to zero. After that, the barrel cover on the salt barrel 71 is opened and softened salt is put into the salt barrel 71. At this time, under the action of gravity, the salt barrel 71 moves downward, and the force is transmitted to the connecting rod 4 through the support platform 2, so that the connecting rod 4 pushes the piston 41 to move downward inside the column 5, thereby changing the rise or fall of the liquid in the transparent tube 6. At this time, by observing the relative position of the float 61 floating on the liquid and the scale line 62, the amount of salt in the salt barrel 71 can be intuitively judged. The overall structure of the device is simple, and the manufacturing cost is greatly reduced.
