[0044] Hard water can have various effects on daily life and household appliances. For example, it can reduce the washing effect, accumulate inside water pipes, causing the water flow to decrease, resulting in damage to the performance and lifespan of the appliances, and can cause skin problems, etc. Therefore, people will use water softening devices to treat tap water in daily life. Using a water softening device can effectively remove the minerals in hard water, improve water quality, and enhance the quality of life. Generally, the treatment principle of a water softening device is to remove calcium and magnesium ions in water through an ion exchange process, thereby converting hard water into soft water.

[0045] Generally, a water softener is processed by means of resin replacement. This resin is a polymer substance with a special structure, and its surface is positively charged. When hard water passes through the ion exchange resin column, the calcium and magnesium ions in it will have an adsorption effect with the positive charge on the resin surface, replacing the original sodium ions on the resin. Since when the water softening device is being processed, multiple water channels are required for water quality softening treatment and for the regeneration treatment of resin particles, and functions such as the introduction and distribution of brine also need to be realized during regeneration.

[0046] In the related art, in order to cooperate with the realization of multiple water channel functions of the water softener, it is usually achieved through the cooperative connection of a water channel component and a resin barrel. Specifically, multiple flow channels are constructed inside the water channel component through a mold, which requires a relatively complex mold design. Especially when multiple resin barrels need to be connected, the design of the entire mold is particularly complex, with a large implementation difficulty and high preparation cost.

[0047] Regarding the problems in the related art, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, the present utility model provides a flow channel assembly for cooperating with a plurality of resin barrels 600, including a first flow channel pipe 100, a second flow channel pipe 200, a first connecting pipe 300 and a second connecting pipe 400 to form a circulating passage. Specifically, the first flow channel pipe 100 has a plurality of first communication ports 110, and the plurality of first communication ports 110 correspond to the plurality of resin barrels 600 one by one. The first communication port 110 is used to communicate with the resin filling part of the resin barrel 600; the second flow channel pipe 200 has a plurality of second communication ports 210, and the plurality of second communication ports 210 correspond to the plurality of resin barrels 600 one by one. The second communication port 210 is used to communicate with the central pipe 700 of the resin barrel 600; the first connecting pipe 300 is arranged on the first flow channel pipe 100 and is located between two adjacent first communication ports 110. The first connecting pipe 300 communicates with the resin filling part of the resin barrel 600 through the first flow channel pipe 100, and the first connecting pipe 300 is used for fluid input or fluid output; the second connecting pipe 400 is arranged on the second flow channel pipe 200 and is located between two adjacent second communication ports 210. The second connecting pipe 400 communicates with the central pipe 700 of the resin barrel 600 through the second flow channel pipe 200, and the second connecting pipe 400 is used for fluid output or fluid input. The conventional waterway component is of an integrated structure, and a plurality of flow channels need to be constructed by designing a specific mold, which requires a relatively complex mold structure. The complex mold structure increases the preparation difficulty, especially when a plurality of resin barrels 600 need to be designed, the preparation of the mold is more difficult. In this embodiment, a passage is formed by two connecting pipes, and it is realized by respectively arranging connecting pipes on the two connecting pipes, so that when the water quality is softened, raw water can be simultaneously input into and treated water can be simultaneously output from a plurality of resin pipes through the two flow channel pipes. When the resin is regenerated, the resin particles in a plurality of resin pipes can be simultaneously cleaned through the two flow channel pipes, avoiding the structural design of a complex mold. The entire circuit is composed of a small number of pipelines, simplifying the structure of the flow channel, reducing the preparation difficulty and manufacturing cost.

[0048] It can be understood that in this embodiment, when dealing with a plurality of resin barrels 600, corresponding communication can be achieved by opening a plurality of corresponding communication ports on the pipeline, and the required circuit is formed through the connected pipelines, simplifying the preparation difficulty. Moreover, the connection is directly made through the pipeline, avoiding complex mold opening and reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0049] In specific applications, the first flow channel pipe 100, the second flow channel pipe 200, the first connecting pipe 300, and the second connecting pipe 400 can be obtained by separate preparation. Communication ports are respectively opened on the first flow channel pipe 100 and the second flow channel pipe 200 to respectively communicate with the resin filling part of the resin barrel 600 and the central pipe 700. Specifically, the first connecting pipe 300 can be connected to the first flow channel pipe 100 by means such as welding to form a first pipe group, and the second connecting pipe 400 can be connected to the second flow channel pipe 200 to form a second pipe group. The two pipe groups are arranged to respectively communicate with multiple through bodies. It can be understood that when the solution of this embodiment is produced, the assembly of the product can be realized through modular operations, the production and assembly of multiple modules can be achieved simultaneously, and finally an overall product can be formed, which can improve the manufacturing and production efficiency, shorten the design and development cycle of the product, and facilitate resource utilization and recycling.

[0050] It can be understood that the resin barrel 600 in each embodiment in the description of this application can adopt a conventional resin barrel 600 structure, that is, it has a barrel body structure for loading resin particles, and an independent central pipe 700 is also provided inside the barrel. The resin filling part is located in the peripheral part of the central pipe 700, and the water path realizes functions such as softening by contacting the resin particles in the resin barrel 600.

[0051] In specific settings, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two resin barrels 600, and the two resin barrels 600 are arranged in parallel. When determining the number of resin barrels 600, the water treatment capacity requirements of the entire pipeline system and the design of the overall structural space occupation are usually considered. Therefore, in some specific designs, three, four or more resin barrels 600 can be selected. It can be understood that when the number of resin barrels 600 is increased, the flow channels will be arranged in the length direction accordingly to form a water path by communicating the resin barrels 600 with the flow channel tank. The accompanying drawings in the description of the embodiments of this application only specifically illustrate the example of two resin barrels 600.

[0052] In specific settings, referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown in the figure, the first flow channel pipe 100 and the second flow channel pipe 200 cooperate with two resin barrels 600. The two resin barrels 600 are arranged in parallel. The first flow channel pipe 100 has two first communication ports 110, and the two first communication ports 110 correspond to the resin barrels 600 one by one. The second flow channel pipe 200 has two second communication ports 210, and the two second communication ports 210 correspond to the resin barrels 600 one by one. Among them, the first connecting pipe 300 is located between the two first communication ports 110, and the second communication port 210 is also located between the two communication ports. It can be understood that by arranging the first connecting pipe 300 between two adjacent first communication ports 110, the fluid entering the first flow channel pipe 100 from the first connecting pipe 300 can be divided through the two first communication ports 110, so as to evenly transport the fluid into the two resin barrels 600 respectively. Similarly, the setting of the second connecting pipe 400 can also evenly transport the fluid into the central pipes 700 of the two resin barrels 600 respectively, which enables the input fluid, such as raw water, to fully contact with the resin particles and improve the quality of water softening treatment.

[0053] According to an embodiment provided by the present invention, refer to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, at least one of the partial pipe bodies of the first flow channel pipe 100 and the partial pipe bodies of the second flow channel pipe 200 is located inside the resin barrel 600. The outer part of the resin barrel 600 is filled with resin particles, and there is a central pipe 700 in the center of the resin barrel 600, which can improve the uniformity of the contact between the water body and the resin particles. The outer part of the resin barrel 600 needs to be connected to one of the flow channel pipes, and the central part of the resin barrel 600, that is, the central pipe 700, also needs to be connected to a flow channel pipe. In this embodiment, the partial pipe bodies of at least one flow channel pipe are arranged inside the resin barrel 600, so that the communication ports connected to the outer part can be directly opened on the pipe body, reducing the preparation difficulty of the communication ports.

[0054] When specifically setting, refer to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the partial pipe bodies of the first flow channel pipe 100 and the partial pipe bodies of the second flow channel pipe 200 are both arranged inside the resin barrel 600. Among them, the first communication ports 110 are opened on the pipe wall of the first flow channel pipe 100, and the first communication ports 110 are connected to the outer part of the resin barrel 600. It can be understood that arranging the two flow channel pipes inside the resin barrel 600 can further reduce the flow path of the waterway, thereby reducing the energy loss during the flow of the waterway and improving the water transportation performance.

[0055] When specifically applying, continue to refer to Figure 2As shown, the first communication port 110 is opened along the extending direction of the first flow channel pipe 100, and the maximum dimension of the first communication port 110 in the extending direction of the first flow channel pipe 100 is less than or equal to the dimension of the first flow channel pipe 100 located in the resin barrel 600 in the extending direction. The caliber size of the first communication port 110 affects the sufficiency and uniformity of contact with the resin. Because the first communication port 110 is directly connected to the resin filling part, if the caliber of the first communication port 110 is too small, then the water output will be affected at this time. The too-small water outlet makes the water distribution effect limited, thus it is very difficult to achieve uniform contact with the resin, resulting in the problem of insufficient contact. In this embodiment, the first communication port 110 can be opened along the extending direction of the pipe body, and since a part of the pipe body is located in the resin barrel 600, it can be flexibly opened as needed, and it can be realized that even if the pipe diameter size of the pipe body is small, the first communication port 110 can have a large caliber, improving the water distribution effect.

[0056] It can be understood that in this embodiment, since a part of the pipe body is located in the resin barrel 600, it can be opened along the extending direction of the flow channel pipe, and this opening method will not affect the water conveyance of the entire pipeline system. This opening method can achieve a large water outlet caliber, can achieve contact with a large area of resin particles, thereby improving the uniformity and sufficiency of contact between the water body and the resin particles.

[0057] In specific applications, the cross-sectional area of the first communication port 110 is larger than the caliber area of the longitudinal section of the first flow channel pipe 100. This can improve the sufficiency of contact between the water body and the resin particles and improve the water conveyance performance in the pipeline system.

[0058] It can be understood that if the caliber of the opening on the pipeline is smaller than the caliber of the pipeline itself, then the flow rate at the opening will decrease and the flow velocity will increase. The increased flow velocity increases the pressure loss at the opening, and the smaller caliber will cause a splitting effect, that is, after the fluid passes through the opening, a part of the fluid will directly pass through the opening, while the other part will continue to pass through the pipeline. This may cause changes in the fluid flow direction and disturbances in the flow path, and further vibrations and noises will be generated. In this embodiment, since the first communication port 110 can be opened along the extending direction of the first flow channel pipe 100 and the caliber of the first communication port 110 is larger than the inner diameter of the first flow channel pipe 100, the above problems are avoided, and the distribution range of the first communication port 110 in the outer part of the resin barrel 600 can be improved by opening along the extending direction of the flow channel pipe, so that the water body and the resin particles are in sufficient contact.

[0059] In a specific application, the caliber edge of the first communication port 110 can be set as an overall rounded corner structure. The rounded corner design can reduce the pressure loss when the fluid passes through the opening. Compared with a sharp edge or a right-angle edge, the rounded corner edge can reduce the resistance and friction between the fluid and the edge, thereby reducing the pressure loss. Moreover, the rounded corner edge can better guide the flow of the fluid, reduce the separation and turbulence of the fluid, improve the stability and conveying efficiency of the fluid, and avoid the phenomenon of fluid separation or turbulence.

[0060] According to an embodiment provided by the present utility model, the second flow channel pipe 200 has a protrusion 220 for forming the second communication port 210. The protrusion 220 is located on one side of the second flow channel pipe 200, and one end of the protrusion 220 is located at the central position of the resin barrel 600 and is communicated with the central pipe 700. The central pipe 700 is usually located at the central position of the resin barrel 600. In this embodiment, through the setting of the protrusion 220, the fluid in the second flow channel pipe 200 can be introduced into the central pipe 700.

[0061] It can be understood that by having the protrusion 220 on the second flow channel, a certain distance is formed between the first flow channel pipe 100 and the second flow channel pipe 200, and this distance forms an installation space for functional components such as valve bodies, thereby enabling a compact layout of the product.

[0062] When specifically setting, the protrusion 220 and the second flow channel pipe 200 are integrally formed, thereby reducing the number of components and enhancing the stability of the pipeline system. Further, in application, the first flow channel pipe 100 body and the second flow channel pipe 200 can be made of materials such as rigid plastic. Or, in some other specific applications, the first flow channel pipe 100 body and the second flow channel pipe 200 can also be made of metal materials. Among them, in some examples, the first flow channel pipe 100 and the second flow channel pipe 200 can be made of the same material. Of course, in some other examples, the first flow channel pipe 100 and the second flow channel pipe 200 can also be prepared with different materials.

[0063] In a specific application, the protrusion 220 can be a pipe-shaped structure. When it is a pipe-shaped structure, it is communicated with the second flow channel pipe 200 and guides the fluid to enter the central pipe 700 from the protrusion 220. It can be understood that at this time, the second communication port 210 is opened at the bottom of the protrusion 220, and the end of the central pipe 700 can be inserted into the second communication port 210 to achieve communication. Of course, the protrusion 220 can also be an annular side wall structure. Refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 As shown, the annular side wall structure forms the second communication port 210. At this time, the second communication port 210 is communicated with the second flow pipe, and the end of the central pipe 700 is communicated with the second communication port 210, thereby realizing the communication between the second communication port 210 and the central pipe 700 to form a circulating water path.

[0064] When specifically setting, the diameter of the second communication port 210 is greater than or equal to the inner diameter of the central pipe 700. The upper end of the central pipe 700 is communicated with the second communication port 210, and the lower end of the central pipe 700 is communicated with the barrel body of the resin barrel 600, so that the fluid can be input into the bottom of the resin barrel 600 through the central pipe 700, or the fluid can rise along the central pipe 700 from the bottom of the resin barrel 600. That is, the second communication port 210 serves as a communication hole between the central pipe 700 and the second flow channel pipe 200. In this embodiment, by defining that the diameter of the second communication port 210 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the central pipe 700, the water conveyance performance of the pipeline system can be improved. Specifically, the principle is the same as that of the first communication port 110. If the diameter of the first communication port 110 is smaller than that of the central pipe 700, it will affect the water conveyance performance of the pipeline system.

[0065] In a specific example, as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 4 shown, the second communication port 210 is in the shape of a strip-shaped through hole structure. The top of the central pipe 700 is communicated with the second communication port 210, so that the fluid in the second flow channel pipe 200 can be input into the central pipe 700. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the second communication port 210 is set by forming a strip-shaped hole. This method avoids the need to connect an entity pipeline to the second flow channel pipe 200. It should be known that when connecting an entity pipeline, an opening needs to be made on the second flow channel pipe 200 for connection, which increases the processing procedures of the second flow channel pipe 200 and increases the complexity of the mold.

[0066] In this embodiment, an annular wall structure is arranged below the position of the second communication port 210 to form a strip-shaped through hole, and the strip-shaped through hole is connected to the second communication port 210 on the central pipe 700. In this way, the fluid of the second flow channel pipe 200 enters the central pipe 700, simplifying the preparation process and reducing the complexity of the forming mold.

[0067] It can be understood that the protruding part 220 can also be in the shape of a pipe body. At this time, the protruding part 220 and the second flow channel pipe 200 are an integral pipe body structure, and the diameter of the connection interface between the protruding part 220 and the second flow channel pipe 200 is greater than the inner diameter of the central pipe 700. When the protruding part 220 is set in the shape of a pipe body, there is an intersecting interface between the protruding part 220 and the second flow channel pipe 200. If the interface is smaller than the diameter of the central pipe 700, it will still affect the water conveyance performance of the pipeline.

[0068] According to an embodiment provided by the present utility model, the flow channel assembly further includes an adapter 500. The adapter 500 has a plurality of openings for mating connection with a resin barrel 600. The first flow channel pipe 100 and the second flow channel pipe 200 are both disposed on the adapter 500, and the first communication port 110 and the second communication port 210 are both located within the openings. It can be understood that the resin barrel 600 is required for water treatment, and the resin barrel 600 has a resin filling portion filled with resin particles, which gives the resin barrel 600 a certain mass. This requires the resin barrel 600 to have a relatively stable connection structure. In this embodiment, the adapter 500 is provided on the lower end surface of the channel portion, so that the entire adapter 500 is located at the lower end of the channel portion. By providing openings on the adapter 500, the connection of the resin barrel 600 is achieved through these openings, which can improve the stability of the connection of the resin barrel 600. The top of the resin barrel 600 has a barrel opening, and both the first communication port 110 and the second communication port 210 are located within the barrel opening. This enables the water entering the opening to enter the resin barrel 600 when the resin barrel 600 is connected to the opening.

[0069] When specifically arranged, as shown in Figure 1 The adapter 500 includes a main body plate 510. One surface of the main body plate 510 has a protruding edge portion 520, and the edge portion 520 defines the opening; the first flow channel pipe 100 and the second flow channel pipe 200 are connected to the other surface of the main body plate 510. The adapter 500 is used to connect the resin barrel 600 and can maintain the stability of the connection of the resin barrel 600. In this embodiment, by having the edge portion 520 on one surface of the main body plate 510, the edge portion 520 can enclose the opening, and the resin barrel 600 is connected through this opening, thereby making the overall structure of the flow channel assembly more stable.
