[0019] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This application is described in further detail.

[0020] The present application embodiment discloses a softening water tank. Figure 1-3 A softened water tank comprises a water tank body 1, a bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the surface of the water tank body 1 by bolts, two sets of screws 12 are rotatably connected to the inner cavity side wall of the water tank body 1 by a rotating shaft, a filter is arranged on the surface of the two sets of screws 12, and the filter is arranged inside the water tank body 1, a sealing cover 5 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the water tank body 1 by a hinge, a water inlet pipe 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the water tank body 1, and the position of the water inlet pipe 3 is lower than the filter, a water outlet pipe 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the water tank body 1, and the position of the water outlet pipe 4 is higher than the filter, and the top of the water tank body 1 is fixed by bolts. The fixing frame 6 is fixedly connected, the tops of the two groups of screw rods 12 are rotated through the water tank body 1 and extend to the inside of the fixing frame 6, the tops of the two groups of screw rods 12 are provided with driving members for driving the two groups of screw rods 12 to rotate and lift the filter element, and the driving member is arranged inside the fixing frame 6, the filter element includes a filter plate 11, the inner cavity side wall of the filter plate 11 is fixedly connected with two groups of threaded sleeves 14, the inner cavity side walls of the two groups of threaded sleeves 14 are threadedly connected to the surface of the screw rod 12, the surface of the filter plate 11 is fixedly connected with an annular scraper 13, and the surface of the annular scraper 13 is attached to the inner cavity side wall of the water tank body 1;

[0021] By adopting the above technical scheme, the water inlet pipe 3 on one side of the water tank body 1 can be used to add softened water into the water tank body 1, and the water outlet pipe 4 can be used to connect the pumping equipment to discharge the softened water. When the softened water is extracted, the impurities and scale in the softened water are blocked by the filter plate 11 and filtered to the bottom of the water tank body 1 through the filter element provided inside. At the same time, the driving member in the fixed frame 6 can be used for transmission, so that the two groups of screw rods 12 can be driven to rotate. At this time, the filter plate 11 and the annular scraper 13 can be driven to descend through the threaded sleeve 14. During the descent process, the annular scraper 13 can scrape off the scale impurities remaining on the inner wall of the water tank body 1, and the sealing cover 5 can be opened at the same time. The filter plate 11 and the annular scraper 13 can be lowered to push out the scale impurities remaining in the water tank body 1. At the same time, when the annular scraper 13 and the filter plate 11 are pushed to the bottom of the water tank body 1, it is convenient to clean the annular scraper 13 and the filter plate 11.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The driving member includes a driving motor 7, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the fixing frame 6 by bolts. The driving motor 7 is fixedly connected to a fixing rod 8 by an output shaft. One end of the fixing rod 8 away from the driving motor 7 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity side wall of the fixing frame 6 by a rotating shaft. Two groups of worms 9 are fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing rod 8. The surfaces of the two groups of worms 9 are meshed with worm wheels 10. The bottoms of the two groups of worm wheels 10 are fixedly connected to the top of the screw rod 12 by bolts.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the output is generated by the driving motor 7, which can drive the fixed rod 8 and the two groups of worm gears 9 fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed rod 8 to rotate synchronously, so that the worm gear 10 can be driven by the worm gear 9 to rotate synchronously, and at this time, the two groups of screw rods 12 can be driven to rotate.

[0024] The implementation principle of a softened water tank in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the water inlet pipe 3 on one side of the water tank body 1 can be used to add softened water into the water tank body 1, and the water outlet pipe 4 can be used to connect a pumping device, etc., to discharge the softened water, and through the filter element provided inside, when the softened water is pumped out, the impurities and scale in the softened water are blocked by the filter plate 11, and the impurities and scale in the softened water are filtered to the bottom of the water tank body 1, and the output is driven by the driving motor 7, which can drive the fixed rod 8 and the two groups of worm gears 9 fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed rod 8 to rotate synchronously, so that the worm gear 9 can drive the worm wheel 10 to rotate synchronously. The filter plate 11 and the annular scraper 13 can be driven to rotate, and the filter plate 11 and the annular scraper 13 can be driven to descend through the threaded sleeve 14. During the descent process, the annular scraper 13 can scrape off the scale impurities remaining on the inner wall of the water tank body 1, and the sealing cover 5 can be opened at the same time. The filter plate 11 and the annular scraper 13 can be lowered to push out the scale impurities remaining filtered inside the water tank body 1. At the same time, when the annular scraper 13 and the filter plate 11 are pushed to the bottom of the water tank body 1, it is convenient to clean the annular scraper 13 and the filter plate 11. The above-mentioned drive motor 7 can be selected from NEMA 17 stepper motor, NEMA 17 stepper motor is a synchronous motor, which controls the movement of the rotor by applying a pulse signal. The rotation angle of the stepper motor is usually controlled by controlling the number of input pulses. Each time a pulse signal is received, the stepper motor will rotate a fixed angle, which is called the step angle. The rotation direction of the stepper motor is determined by the sequence of the input pulse signals and the direction of the current. The forward and reverse rotation of the motor can be achieved by controlling the pulse sequence and the direction of the current. By driving the motor 7 to reverse, the corresponding driving member can be used to drive the filter elements on the surfaces of the two sets of screw rods 12 to reset, so that they are set at the corresponding height position inside the water tank body 1. The overall operation is simple and easy to use. Not only can the water tank be cleaned, but also the filter elements and scraper components can be cleaned, which can effectively improve its actual working efficiency. At the same time, the residual scale and impurities can be cleaned more thoroughly to avoid affecting the quality of softened water.
