Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water purification, in particular to a water tank type water purifier and drinker. Background Art

[0002] With the development of product integration, water purifiers and water dispensers are integrated into water purifier and drinker products. Some water purifier and drinker products have water tank components. Therefore, there is a problem that liquids other than pure water are accidentally added to the water tank, resulting in irreversible pollution of the internal pipelines of the water purifier and drinker after operation. This type of problem has caused a lot of negative feedback in the market. At the same time, due to the improvement of living standards, users' demands for products are not only limited to functions. Users are unsure about whether the water tank of the water purifier and drinker is clean and the water quality in the water tank, resulting in uneasiness when using it and a poor experience for users.

[0003] In the "Water Purifier and Drinker" disclosed in the publication number CN204958436U, it includes a filter element and a first water tank. The water to be filtered enters the first water tank after being filtered by the filter element and flows out of the first water tank for users to use. A first detection device is arranged on the water delivery pipeline of the first water tank, and a second detection device is arranged on the water inlet pipeline of the filter element for the water to be filtered. The first detection device is used to detect the TDS value of the water in the first water tank, and the second detection device is used to detect the TDS value of the water to be filtered. By adding the first detection device and the second detection device, the above water purifier and drinker detect the TDS content in the water before and after filtration by the filter element, enabling users to directly obtain the TDS measurement values of the water before and after filtration. However, when the detection device of the above water purifier determines whether the water quality meets the standard, it only judges through a single variable of the TDS measurement value. If the detection device fails, the accuracy of the water quality detection result cannot be guaranteed. In addition, the use cost of the TDS detector is relatively high. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the above defects in the prior art, a water tank type water purifier and drinker is provided, which has different monitoring methods, improves the accuracy of detection results, and ensures the safety of users' water use.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows: A water tank type water purifier and drinker includes a connecting pipeline assembly, a water storage tank, a filter element, a water inlet module, a water outlet module, and a concentrated water module. The connecting pipeline assembly is used to connect the water storage tank, the filter element, the water inlet module, and the water outlet module. A first detection device is assembled on the connecting pipeline assembly between the water storage tank and the water outlet module, and a second detection device is assembled on the water storage tank. Both the first detection device and the second detection device are used to detect the quality of the drinking water in the water storage tank.

[0006] Preferably, the second detection device includes an optical signal generating element and an optical signal receiving element. The optical signal generating element is assembled on the top of the water storage tank, and the optical signal receiving element is assembled on the bottom of the water storage tank.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting pipe assembly includes a first pipe, a second pipe, and a third pipe; the first pipe is used to connect the water inlet module, the filter element, and the water storage tank; the second pipe is used to connect the water storage tank, the first detection device, and the water outlet module; the third pipe is assembled between the water inlet module and the first detection device.

[0008] Preferably, a booster pump is assembled on the first pipe between the water inlet module and the filter element.

[0009] Preferably, two water outlets are provided at one end of the first detection device connected to the water outlet module, and the two water outlets are respectively a first water outlet and a second water outlet; the first water outlet is communicated with the second pipe, and the second water outlet is communicated with the third pipe.

[0010] Preferably, a one-way valve is provided on the third pipe, and the one-way valve controls the water in the third pipe to flow from the first water outlet to the booster pump on the first pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting pipe assembly further includes a fourth pipe, one end of the fourth pipe is used to connect the filter element, and the other end is connected to the concentrated water module.

[0012] Preferably, a concentrated water valve is provided on the fourth pipe.

[0013] Preferably, the water outlet module is provided with an intelligent monitoring device for recording the water outlet frequency.

[0014] Preferably, a wireless communication module is further included, and the wireless communication module is used to transmit the detection results of the first detection device and the second detection device to the intelligent terminal, and the intelligent terminal is used to control the opening and closing of the connecting pipe assembly, the water inlet module, and the water outlet module.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] A water tank type water purifier and drinker realizes real-time monitoring of the water quality in the water storage tank by equipping with the first detection device and the second detection device. Through different monitoring methods, the accuracy of the detection results is improved, and it is prevented that a failure of one of the monitoring devices causes pollution of the entire water circuit. The design of the connecting pipe assembly enables the water storage tank, the filter element, the water inlet module, and the water outlet module to be effectively connected together to form a complete water treatment system.

[0017] Furthermore, the detailed design of the second detection device further reflects its accuracy and reliability in monitoring the water quality in the water storage tank. The optical signal generating element is assembled on the top of the water storage tank, while the optical signal receiving element is assembled on the bottom of the water storage tank. This up-and-down corresponding design enables the optical signal to penetrate the entire water body of the water storage tank, thereby realizing comprehensive detection of the water quality.

[0018] Furthermore, the connected pipe assembly includes a first pipe, a second pipe, and a third pipe; each of the above pipes undertakes different functions and jointly constitutes a complete fluid transmission system, fully considering multiple links such as water quality detection, filtration, and storage to ensure that users can obtain safe and reliable drinking water. At the same time, through reasonable pipe layout and connection, effective collaborative work among various modules is achieved, improving the efficiency and stability of the entire system.

[0019] Furthermore, the booster pump improves the filtration effect. Since the filter element usually has certain requirements for water flow rate and water pressure, the booster pump can provide stable and sufficient water pressure, enabling water to pass through the filter element evenly, thereby obtaining a better filtration effect.

[0020] Furthermore, the first water outlet is connected to the second pipe to ensure that the water reaching the water outlet module is not polluted by the water in other pipelines for users to use; when the second water outlet is connected to the third pipe, when the water quality does not meet the preset standard, the water can flow through the second water outlet to the third pipe for further treatment or improvement of the water quality.

[0021] Furthermore, the check valve prevents water from flowing back from the booster pump or the first pipe to the first detection device, which helps to maintain the accuracy of the first detection device, avoid misreading or damage caused by the flowing-back water, and also prevent the unqualified water from polluting other pipelines.

[0022] Furthermore, the unqualified water is guided to the concentrated water module through the fourth pipe for collection and further treatment to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the system. By adding the fourth pipe and the concentrated water module, the connected pipe assembly not only improves the efficiency and effect of water quality treatment but also ensures the long-term stable operation of the system, providing users with a more high-quality and efficient drinking water solution.

[0023] Furthermore, the concentrated water valve plays a role in preventing the backflow of concentrated water. During the operation of the system, if a failure or abnormal situation occurs in a certain link, it may cause the backflow of concentrated water, affecting the normal operation of the system. The existence of the concentrated water valve can effectively prevent this situation from occurring, ensuring the stability and safety of the system.

[0024] Furthermore, the intelligent monitoring device is also an important part of the intelligent management of the system. Through linkage with other modules, it can achieve comprehensive monitoring and optimization of the entire system. When the system detects a decrease in the water outlet frequency, it can automatically adjust the operating state of the booster pump to ensure stable water pressure; or according to the change in water consumption, automatically adjust the detection frequency of the first detection device to improve the detection efficiency.

[0025] Furthermore, the addition of the wireless communication module makes the entire connected pipeline component system more intelligent and convenient, providing a better user experience and also facilitating the maintenance and management of the system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present utility model will be explained and described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. However, the following embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the embodiments, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] In the following description, terms such as "inner", "outer", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc. indicating directions or positional relationships are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.

[0034] As Figures 1 to 2As shown in the figure, a water tank type water purifier and drinker includes a water storage tank 2, a filter element 3, a water inlet module 4, and a water outlet module 5 connected by a connecting pipeline assembly 1; the connecting pipeline assembly 1 includes a first pipeline 1-1, a second pipeline 1-2, a third pipeline 1-3, and a fourth pipeline 1-4; the first pipeline 1-1 is used to connect the water inlet module 4, the filter element 3, and the water storage tank 2; the second pipeline 1-2 is used to connect the water storage tank 2, a first detection device 6, and the water outlet module 5; the third pipeline 1-3 is assembled between the water inlet module 4 and the first detection device 6.

[0035] Among them, the water inlet module 4 guides the untested water through the first pipeline 1-1 to the filter element 3 for filtration and purification. A booster pump 1-1-1 is assembled on the first pipeline 1-1. The main function of the booster pump 1-1-1 is to increase the water pressure in the pipeline to ensure that the water can flow smoothly and efficiently to the filter element 3 and improve the filtration effect. The filter element 3 usually requires a certain water pressure to exert its best filtration performance, and the booster pump 1-1-1 can provide a stable and sufficient water pressure, enabling the water to pass through the filter element 3 evenly, thereby obtaining a better filtration effect.

[0036] The filtered water is guided from the filter element 3 to the water storage tank 2 through the first pipeline 1-1. Among them, a first detection device 6 is assembled on the connecting pipeline assembly 1 between the water storage tank 2 and the water outlet module 5, and a second detection device 7 is assembled on the water storage tank 2. The first detection device 6 and the second detection device 7 respectively detect whether the water in the water tank meets the qualified standard through different detection methods.

[0037] Furthermore, the main function of the first detection device 6 is to detect the total dissolved solids content of the water in the water storage tank 2 in real time, so as to evaluate the water quality status. The TDS content is an important indicator for measuring water quality, which reflects the total amount of dissolved minerals, salts and other substances in the water. Through the monitoring of the first detection device 6, the system can ensure that the water quality provided to users meets the preset standards. By detecting the TDS signal to judge the liquid in the water tank, generally the TDS value of pure water < 50mg / L, and the TDS of liquids such as milk, carbonated beverages, and tap water that will cause irreversible pollution to the pipeline is generally > 100mg / L. Therefore, the program can be set to remind the user whether to turn on the water purifier and drinker; when it is detected that TDS < 50mg / L, the water purifier and drinker enters the normal working state, and the control panel displays the TDS value in real time; when it is detected that 50mg / L < TDS < 100mg / L, the water purifier and drinker enters the standby state, and a reminder is given on the operation interface that the liquid in the water tank may pollute the pipeline, allowing the user to choose whether to send a work command; when it is detected that TDS > 100mg / L, the water purifier and drinker enters the protection state, the operation interface is locked, and the user is reminded to clean the water tank. When the TDS probe detects that the TDS of the liquid in the water tank < 80mg / L, it will automatically recover.

[0038] Among them, the second detection device 7 includes an optical signal generating element 7-1 and an optical signal receiving element 7-2; the optical signal generating element 7-1 is assembled at the top of the water storage tank 2, and the optical signal receiving element 7-2 is assembled at the bottom of the water storage tank 2. By sensing the optical signal of the liquid passing through the water storage tank 2 to judge the turbidity of the liquid, the optical signal passing through the liquid will be weakened due to different intensities of scattering and refraction caused by different turbidities of the liquid. Therefore, the opening or closing of the water outlet of the water tank can be controlled by the strength of the received optical signal, ensuring the safety of the user's drinking water.

[0039] After the detection, the detection results of the first detection device 6 and the second detection device 7 are transmitted to the intelligent terminal through the wireless communication module, and the intelligent terminal is used to control the opening and closing of the connecting pipe assembly 1, the water inlet module 4 and the water outlet module 5.

[0040] One end of the first detection device 6 connected to the water outlet module 5 is provided with two water outlets, which are the first water outlet 6-1 and the second water outlet 6-2 respectively; the first water outlet 6-1 is communicated with the second pipe 1-2 to direct the water meeting the preset standard to the water outlet module 5 for the user to use water safely.

[0041] Among them, the second water outlet 6-2 is communicated with the third pipe 1-3. When the detection results of the first detection device 6 or the second detection device 7 do not meet the standard, the first water outlet 6-1 and the second pipe 1-2 are closed to prevent the water outlet module 5 from being polluted; a check valve 1-3-1 is provided on the third pipe 1-3, and the check valve 1-3-1 controls the water in the third pipe 1-3 to flow from the first water outlet 6-1 to the booster pump 1-1-1 on the first pipe 1-1, and the booster pump 1-1-1 directs the water to the filter element 3 to circulate and purify the water whose detection does not meet the standard.

[0042] When the water passes through the filter element 3, it will be divided into two parts: one part is the filtered clear water, which continues to flow to the water storage tank, and after being detected, it is directed to the water outlet module 5; the other part is the impurities and concentrated substances that fail to pass through the filter element 3, that is, the so-called "concentrated water". When the filter element 3 generates concentrated water, the concentrated water is directed to the concentrated water module 8 through the fourth pipe 1-4 to filter, recycle or safely discharge the concentrated water, etc.; a concentrated water valve 1-4-1 is provided on the fourth pipe 1-4 to prevent the backflow of the concentrated water. During the operation of the system, if a failure or abnormal situation occurs in a certain link, it may cause the backflow of the concentrated water, affecting the normal operation of the system. The presence of the concentrated water valve 1-4-1 can effectively prevent this situation from occurring and ensure the stability and safety of the system.

[0043] Further, the water outlet module 5 is provided with an intelligent monitoring device for recording the water outlet frequency. When the user's water usage interval exceeds the specified time and it is detected that the standing time of the water sample in the water tank is too long, the first detection device 6 and the second detection device 7 are automatically activated for water quality detection. The second pipeline 1-2 is closed, and the third pipeline 1-3, the one-way valve 1-3-1 and the booster pump 1-1-1 are opened to circulate and purify the water sample in the water storage tank 2.

[0044] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention includes but is not limited to the content described in the drawings and the above specific implementation manner. Any modification that does not deviate from the functional and structural principles of the present invention will be included in the scope of the claims.
