[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a resin tank 300, including a tank body 330 and a mounting plate 350; the mounting plate 350 is arranged on the top of the tank body 330, and the mounting plate 350 is suitable for plugging with the side plate 170 of the water softener.

[0048] The resin tank 300 of the embodiment of the utility model, the tank body 330 is the main part of the resin tank 300, the mounting plate 350 is arranged on the top of the tank body 330, and its main function is to form a connection relationship with the side plate 170 of the shell 100, the height direction of the water softener is the height direction of the tank body 330, the length direction of the water softener is the length direction of the tank body 330, and the width direction of the water softener is the width direction of the tank body 330. The tank body 330 is mainly divided into six directions: front, rear, left, right, upper and lower. The front and rear directions are length directions, and the front cover plate 140 and the rear cover plate 110 of the shell 100 are arranged accordingly, the left and right directions are width directions, and the first side plate 150 and the second side plate 160 of the shell 100 are arranged accordingly, and the upper and lower directions are height directions, and the top cover plate 120 and the base 130 of the shell 100 are arranged accordingly.

[0049] Compared with the prior art, which generally assembles the other side parts of the housing 100 except the rear cover 110, installs the resin tank 300 into the assembled part, and then connects the rear cover 110 with the other parts of the housing 100 to complete the assembly, so that each side of the housing 100 is always at a certain distance from the resin tank 300, the overall volume of the housing 100 will be larger, and the overall structure of the water softener is not compact enough. In the assembly process of the water softener, the resin tank 300 of the utility model is fixed to the resin tank 300. After being fixed on the base 130, the side plate 170 can be directly plugged into the mounting plate 350, and then the other parts of the housing 100 can be assembled, which can not only realize that the side plate 170 as a part of the housing 100 directly encapsulates the resin tank 300 at the nearest position outside the resin tank 300, improve the structural compactness between the side plate 170 as the housing 100 and the water softening component, and reduce the overall space volume of the water softener, but also realize the direct connection between the side plate 170 and the resin tank 300, and improve the firmness of the installation of the side plate 170. On this basis, compared with the assembly method of bolt installation, the direct connection between the side plate 170 and the resin tank 300 through plugging is more convenient for the disassembly and assembly of the water softener.

[0050] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the mounting plate 350 is provided with a first plug hole 351, and the first plug hole 351 is suitable for plugging with the first plug block 171 of the side plate 170. In this embodiment, the plugging of the mounting plate 350 and the side plate 170 is realized through the first plug hole 351 and the first plug block 171. The first plug hole 351 is formed on the mounting plate 350 of the resin tank 300, and the first plug block 171 is formed on the side plate 170. The corresponding matching can be used for snap connection. The first plug block 171 is inserted into the first plug hole 351, and the first plug hole 351 limits and fixes the first plug block 171, thereby connecting the side plate 170 with the resin tank 300. The first plug hole 351 releases the limit of the first plug block 171, and the first plug block 171 withdraws from the first plug hole 351, thereby separating the side plate 170 from the resin tank 300.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first plug hole 351 is set on the mounting plate 350, and the first plug block 171 is set on the side plate 170, that is, when the first plug block 171 is connected to the first plug hole 351, the first plug block 171 is always within the width range of the tank body 330, so the first plug hole 351 on the mounting plate 350 will not increase the width of the resin tank 300, so that the surface of the side plate 170 can be fitted with the surface of the mounting plate 350 after installation, reducing the width of the water softener. In other embodiments, the first plug block 171 can also be set on the mounting plate 350, and the first plug hole 351 is correspondingly set on the side plate 170, but it is easy for the first plug block 171 to increase the width of the resin tank 300, which needs to be avoided.

[0052] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 350 is evenly provided with two first plug holes 351 along the width direction of the tank body 330, and the side plate 170 is provided with two first plug blocks 171 at corresponding positions. In other embodiments, the positions and quantities of the first plug holes 351 and the first plug blocks 171 can be selected according to actual needs.

In this embodiment, the mounting plate 350 and the side plate 170 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, that is, the first mounting plate 352 and the second mounting plate 353 are arranged along the width direction of the tank body 330, the first side plate 150 is plugged into the outer side of the first mounting plate 352, and the second side plate 160 is plugged into the outer side of the second mounting plate 353, so that the side plates 170 arranged in the width direction are all plug-in. In order to minimize the volume of the water softener, the first mounting plate 352 and the second mounting plate 353 are arranged opposite to each other and the distance between them is not greater than the maximum width of the tank body 330, ensuring that the vertical distance between the first side plate 150 and the second side plate 160 is maintained at the maximum width of the tank body 330, and there is no additional space in the width direction of the outer shell 100.

[0054] In other embodiments, the mounting plate 350 and the side plate 170 may be selectively disposed correspondingly.

[0055] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the mounting plate 350 is provided with a first stopper 354 suitable for fixing the salt absorption pipe 410 of the water softener, and a gap 230 is provided between the mounting plate 350 and the salt box 200 of the water softener, and the first stopper 354 is located in the gap 230. In this embodiment, the resin tank 300 and the salt box 200 are sequentially arranged along the length direction of the water softener, the soft water valve 400 is arranged on the top of the tank body 330, and the salt absorption pipe 410 of the soft water valve 400 is inserted into the salt box 200. After one end of the salt absorption pipe 410 is connected with the soft water valve 400, the other end passes through the mounting plate 350 and enters the salt box 200. A gap 230 is left between the edge of the mounting plate 350 and the edge of the salt box 200 for the salt absorption pipe 410 to pass through, and then a first limiting member 354 is set at the corresponding edge position of the mounting plate 350. The salt absorption pipe 410 passes through the gap 230 and is fixed at the first limiting member 354, thereby fixing the salt absorption pipe 410 and making the device distribution composition inside the water softener more integrated and orderly.

[0056] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the mounting plate 350 is provided with a second plug hole 355, and the second plug hole 355 is suitable for plugging with the second plug block of the top cover plate 120 of the water softener. In this embodiment, the clamping connection between the resin tank 300 and the top cover plate 120 is realized by the second plug hole 355 and the second plug hole 355. The second plug hole 355 is formed on the mounting plate 350 of the resin tank 300, and the second plug block is formed on the side plate 170. The corresponding matching can be used for clamping connection. The second plug block is inserted into the second plug hole 355, and the second plug hole 355 limits and fixes the second plug block, thereby connecting the top cover plate 120 with the resin tank 300. The second plug hole 355 releases the limit of the second plug block, and the second plug block withdraws from the second plug hole 355, thereby separating the top cover plate 120 from the resin tank 300.

[0057] In this embodiment, a plug-in connection form is added between the top cover plate 120 and the mounting plate 350. During the assembly process of the water softener, after the resin tank 300 is fixed on the base 130, the side plate 170 and the mounting plate 350 can be directly plugged, and then the top cover plate 120 and the mounting plate 350 can be plugged. This can not only realize that the top cover plate 120, as a part of the shell 100, directly encapsulates the resin tank 300 at the nearest position outside the resin tank 300, improves the structural compactness between the top cover plate 120 as the shell 100 and the water softening component, and reduces the overall space volume of the water softener, but also realizes the direct connection between the top cover plate 120 and the resin tank 300, and improves the firmness of the installation of the top cover plate 120. On this basis, compared with the assembly method of bolt installation, the direct connection between the top cover plate 120 and the resin tank 300 through plug-in is more convenient for the disassembly and assembly of the water softener.

[0058] In this embodiment, the second plug hole 355 is provided on the mounting plate 350, and the second plug block is provided on the top cover plate 120, that is, when the second plug block is connected to the second plug hole 355, the plug block is always within the width range of the tank body 330, so the second plug hole 355 provided on the mounting plate 350 will not increase the width of the resin tank 300, and further, the width direction of the top cover plate 120 after installation does not exceed the width of the resin tank 300, thereby reducing the width of the water softener. In other embodiments, the second plug block may also be provided on the mounting plate 350, and the second plug hole 355 may be provided on the top cover plate 120 accordingly.

[0059] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 350 is evenly provided with two second plug holes 355 along the width direction of the tank body 330, and the side plate 170 is provided with two second plug blocks at corresponding positions. In other embodiments, the setting positions and quantities of the second plug holes 355 and the second plug blocks can be selected according to actual needs.

In this embodiment, the clamping connection between the resin tank 300 and the rear cover plate 110 is realized through the third plug hole 356 and the third plug hole 356. The third plug hole 356 is formed on the mounting plate 350 of the resin tank 300, and the third plug block 111 is formed on the side plate 170. The corresponding matching can be used for clamping connection. The third plug block 111 is inserted into the third plug hole 356, and the third plug hole 356 limits and fixes the third plug block 111, thereby connecting the rear cover plate 110 with the resin tank 300. The third plug hole 356 releases the limit of the third plug block 111, and the third plug block 111 withdraws from the third plug hole 356, thereby separating the rear cover plate 110 from the resin tank 300.

[0061] In this embodiment, a plug-in connection form is added between the rear cover plate 110 and the mounting plate 350. During the assembly process of the water softener, after the resin tank 300 is fixed on the base 130, the side plate 170 and the mounting plate 350 can be directly plugged, and then the rear cover plate 110 and the mounting plate 350 can be plugged, and finally the top cover plate 120 and the mounting plate 350 can be plugged, which can not only realize that the rear cover plate 110 as a part of the shell 100 directly encapsulates the resin tank 300 at the nearest position outside the resin tank 300, improve the compactness of the structure between the rear cover plate 110 as the shell 100 and the water softening component, and reduce the overall space volume of the water softener, but also realize the direct connection between the rear cover plate 110 and the resin tank 300, and improve the firmness of the installation of the rear cover plate 110. On this basis, compared with the assembly method of bolt installation, the direct connection between the rear cover plate 110 and the resin tank 300 through plug-in is more convenient for the disassembly and assembly of the water softener.

[0062] In this embodiment, the third plug hole 356 is provided on the mounting plate 350, and the third plug block 111 is provided on the rear cover plate 110, that is, when the third plug block 111 is connected to the third plug hole 356, the plug block is always within the width range of the tank body 330, so the third plug hole 356 provided on the mounting plate 350 will not increase the width of the resin tank 300, and further, the width direction of the rear cover plate 110 after installation does not exceed the width of the resin tank 300, thereby reducing the width of the water softener. In other embodiments, the third plug block 111 may also be provided on the mounting plate 350, and the third plug hole 356 may be provided on the rear cover plate 110 accordingly.

[0063] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 350 is evenly provided with two third plug holes 356 along the width direction of the tank body 330, and the side plate 170 is provided with two third plug blocks 111 at corresponding positions.

In this embodiment, the interior of the tank body 330 can be composed of two relatively independent cylindrical inner chambers 331, and the axial directions of the two inner chambers 331 are both the height direction of the water softener, that is, the set volume of resin is divided into the two inner chambers 331, and the top of the tank body 330 is constructed with a first flow channel 332 and a second flow channel 333 that are connected to the soft water valve 400. Compared with the resin tank 300 of the prior art, which is a structure of one inner chamber 331, under the condition of the same height, the diameter of the inner chamber 331 of the tank body 330 of this embodiment will be reduced, and the width of the overall resin tank 300 will also be reduced, thereby further reducing the width of the water softener.

[0065] In this embodiment, water inlet and outlet of the two inner chambers 331 are performed synchronously in each operating mode of the water softener, that is, the soft water valve 400 can simultaneously let water into the two inner chambers 331 through the first flow channel 332, and can also allow water from the two inner chambers 331 to flow into the soft water valve 400 at the same time through the second flow channel 333, so that the two inner chambers 331 of the tank body 330 as a whole are in a synchronous working mode.

[0066] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to an embodiment of the utility model, the tank body 330 is further provided with a second stopper 334, and the second stopper 334 is suitable for fixing the overflow pipe 210 of the water softener. In this embodiment, the resin tank 300 and the salt box 200 are sequentially arranged along the length direction of the water softener. After one end of the overflow pipe 210 of the salt box 200 is connected with the salt box 200, the other end extends to the rear cover plate 110 along the length direction of the water softener. The second stopper 334 is arranged at the position of the outer wall of the tank body 330 corresponding to the overflow pipe 210 passing through, so that the overflow pipe 210 passes through. The second stopper 334 guides the overflow pipe 210 and also supports and fixes the overflow pipe 210, so as to fix the overflow pipe 210 and make the device distribution composition inside the water softener more integrated and orderly.

[0067] The present invention also provides a water softener, including a housing 100 , a water softening valve 400 and a resin tank 300 as in the above embodiment. The housing 100 includes a side plate 170 ; the water softening valve 400 is disposed on the top of the resin tank 300 and is located between the mounting plates 350 .

[0068] In the water softener of the embodiment of the utility model, the mounting plate 350 includes a first mounting plate 352 and a second mounting plate 353, and the side plate 170 includes a first side plate 150 and a second side plate 160. The space between the first mounting plate 352 and the second mounting plate 353 serves as a space for installing the soft water valve 400, providing a certain degree of protection for the soft water valve 400.

[0069] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the water softener also includes a salt box 200, and a mounting seat 220 suitable for mounting electronic components is arranged on the top of the salt box 200, and the mounting seat 220 includes a first lining plate 221 and a second lining plate 222, and a gap 230 is provided between the first lining plate 221 and the first mounting plate 352, and the end of the second lining plate 222 close to the second mounting plate 353 is bent toward the first lining plate 221 to form a recess 240, and the second mounting plate 353 is inserted into the recess 240.

[0070] In this embodiment, the height of the salt box 200 and the mounting seat 220 on its top is flush with the height of the resin tank 300, thereby ensuring the height limit of the water softener. The first lining plate 221 and the first mounting plate 352 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the water softener, and the second lining plate 222 and the second mounting plate 353 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the water softener. A gap 230 for passing the salt absorption tube 410 is set between the first lining plate 221 and the first mounting plate 352, that is, the first lining plate 221 and the first mounting plate 352 are only corresponding in position, but there is no The second lining plate 222 is bent toward the first lining plate 221, that is, the second lining plate 222 is bent toward the space between the two lining plates to form a recess 240, and the second mounting plate 353 is inserted into the recess 240 from the edge of the second lining plate 222, so that the outer surface of the second lining plate 222 is flush with the outer surface of the second mounting plate 353, ensuring a neat installation without a protruding structure, and further ensuring that after the second side plate 160 and the second mounting plate 353 are plugged in, there is no gap 230 between the second side plate 160 and the second mounting plate 353, thereby reducing the width of the water softener.

[0071] According to an embodiment of the utility model, one of the tank body 330 and the rear cover plate 110 is provided with a card slot 310, and the other of the tank body 330 and the rear cover plate 110 is provided with a third plug-in block 111, and the third plug-in block 111 is inserted into the card slot 310. In this embodiment, the card connection between the tank body 330 and the rear cover plate 110 is realized by the third plug-in block 111 and the card slot 310. The third plug-in block 111 and the card slot 310 can be formed on the tank body 330 and the rear cover plate 110, respectively, and can be card-connected by corresponding cooperation. The third plug-in block 111 is inserted into the card slot 310, and the card slot 310 limits and fixes the third plug-in block 111, thereby connecting the rear cover plate 110 with the tank body 330. The card slot 310 releases the limit of the third plug-in block 111, and the third plug-in block 111 withdraws from the card slot 310, thereby separating the rear cover plate 110 from the tank body 330.

[0072] In this embodiment, the third plug-in block 111 is arranged on the rear cover plate 110, and the card slot 310 is arranged on the tank body 330. There are six third plug-in blocks 111 in total, and three third plug-in blocks 111 are evenly arranged on both sides of the width direction of the rear cover plate 110, and six card slots 310 are arranged at corresponding positions of the tank body 330. In other embodiments, the arrangement positions and quantities of the third plug-in blocks 111 and the card slots 310 can be selected according to actual needs.

[0073] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the rear cover plate 110 includes a plate body 112 and a flange 113, the width of the plate body 112 is less than or equal to the width of the can body 330; the flange 113 is arranged on both side edges of the plate body 112 along the height direction of the plate body 112, the flange 113 extends toward the accommodating space, the flange 113 is provided with a notch 114, and the third plug-in block 111 is arranged in the notch 114.

[0074] In this embodiment, the rear cover plate 110 is mainly divided into three parts along its width direction, one part is the plate body 112, and the other two parts are flanges 113 respectively located at the two side edges of the plate body 112 in the width direction. It can also be understood that the two side edges of the rear cover plate 110 in the width direction are bent toward the direction of the accommodating space, the length direction of the flange 113 is the height direction of the plate body 112, and the width direction of the flange 113 is the extension direction toward the accommodating space. Therefore, the width of the plate body 112 is the width of the rear cover plate 110 itself. In order to minimize the volume of the outer shell 100, the width of the rear cover plate 110 needs to not exceed the can body 330, so that the width of the outer shell 100 is as close as possible to the width of the can body 330. After the other parts of the outer shell 100 are installed, there is no other remaining space in the width direction.

[0075] The flange 113 is provided with a notch 114, and the third plug-in block 111 is arranged at the notch 114, and can maintain a unified position with the flanges 113 on both sides of the notch 114, that is, the third plug-in block 111 is integrated with the flange 113, further making the structure of the rear cover 110 compact and integrated, and not occupying much other structures and space positions.

[0076] In this embodiment, the width of the plate main body 112 is the same as the width of the tank body 330, that is, the outer surface of the flange 113 is flush with the outer surface of the tank body 330 at the maximum width. Since the third plug-in block 111 is integrated with the flange 113, a corresponding depression is arranged on the tank body 330 to form a card slot 310. After the third plug-in block 111 is inserted into the card slot 310, it can also ensure that the connection position between the tank body 330 and the rear cover plate 110 is flat and has no protrusions, and will not increase the width of the outer shell 100.

[0077] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the tank body 330 is provided with a positioning hole 320, and the rear cover plate 110 is provided with a plurality of positioning posts 115, and the positioning posts 115 are inserted into the positioning holes 320, and the plurality of positioning posts 115 are evenly distributed along the height direction of the rear cover plate 110. In this embodiment, the tank body 330 and the rear cover plate 110 are also matched through a positioning portion, and in the process of connecting the rear cover plate 110 and the tank body 330, the positioning posts 115 of the rear cover plate 110 are inserted into the corresponding positioning holes 320 on the tank body 330, and the positioning holes 320 can limit the movement of the positioning posts 115 within the range involved in the height direction and the width direction of the rear cover plate 110, thereby realizing the positioning and restriction of the rear cover plate 110 during installation.

[0078] In this embodiment, the positioning columns 115 are divided into two groups, both of which are arranged on the plate body 112. The two groups of positioning columns 115 are respectively arranged close to the two flanges 113. Each group of positioning columns 115 is composed of multiple positioning columns 115. The multiple positioning columns 115 are evenly distributed along the height direction of the rear cover plate 110. While limiting the position of the rear cover plate 110, it can also prevent the rear cover plate 110 from deformation, increase the structural strength of the rear cover plate 110, and thus reduce the gap between the flange 113 and the first side plate 150 and the second side plate 160 of the outer shell 100 during installation.

[0079] According to an embodiment of the utility model, a connecting plate 340 is further provided on the tank body 330, and the connecting plate 340 is located between the tank body 330 and the rear cover plate 110, and the connecting plate 340 is provided with a card slot 310 and a positioning hole 320. In this embodiment, the resin tank 300 is divided into three parts: the tank body 330, the mounting plate 350 and the connecting plate 340. The tank body 330 is provided with a connecting plate 340 on the side facing the rear cover plate 110, and the connecting plate 340 is connected to the tank body 330 as a whole, and the connecting plate 340 extends along the height direction of the tank body 330, and the connecting plate 340 corresponds to the rear cover plate 110, and the corresponding positioning holes 320 and the card slot 310 are both provided on the connecting plate 340, that is, the connecting plate 340 provides a planar structure for the installation connection between the resin tank 300 and the rear cover plate 110, and the connection is more convenient, and the structure is more stable and firm.

[0080] It is understandable that the resin tank 300 is cylindrical in shape, and setting the groove 310 and the positioning hole 320 on the outer circumferential wall of the cylinder is not reliable from the perspective of processing and manufacturing and connection performance. Therefore, a connecting plate 340 is added to the outer wall of the tank body 330. The connecting plate 340 is a flat plate body, and the positioning hole 320 and the groove 310 are constructed on the flat plate to improve the reliability of the connection structure.

[0081] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the edge of the connecting plate 340 is provided with a bending portion 341 corresponding to the flange 113, and the bending portion 341 is recessed to form a card slot 310. In this embodiment, the edge of the connecting plate 340 forms a bending portion 341 in the direction of the rear cover plate 110, that is, the bending portion 341 corresponds to the flange 113. After the rear cover plate 110 is connected to the resin tank 300, the flange 113 is superimposed on the outside of the bending portion 341 and fits tightly with the outer surface of the bending portion 341. Since the third plug-in block 111 is integrated at the flange 113, the bending portion 341 forms a card slot 310 by recessing at the position corresponding to the third plug-in block 111, and is connected with the third plug-in block 111.

[0082] The bent portion 341 supports the flange 113 to enhance the structural strength of the flange 113 , and increases the compactness of the structure when the rear cover 110 and the resin tank 300 are connected.

[0083] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the connecting plate 340 is further provided with a reinforcing rib 342, and the reinforcing rib 342 abuts against the rear cover plate 110. In this embodiment, the connecting plate 340 is provided with reinforcing ribs 342 between the bending portions 341 at the two side edges, and the reinforcing ribs 342 are arranged in multiple layers from top to bottom, and both ends of each layer of reinforcing ribs 342 are connected to two bending portions 341, so as to enhance the structural strength of the connecting plate 340 and prevent the bending portions 341 of the connecting plate 340 from deforming. After the rear cover plate 110 is clipped onto the connecting plate 340, the edge of one side of the reinforcing rib 342 close to the rear cover plate 110 abuts against the inner surface of the plate body 112 of the rear cover plate 110, that is, the reinforcing rib 342 provides support for the plate body 112 in the rigidity direction of the rear cover plate 110, further enhancing the structural strength of the rear cover plate 110 after being installed on the resin tank 300, and preventing deformation.
