[0028] refer to Figure 1At least one ultrasonic body 4 is installed on the pipe 10; the transmitting end of the ultrasonic body 4 has a transmitting block 5, and the transmitting block 5 is directly or indirectly in contact with the channel for water circulation in the pipe 10; specifically, the transmitting end extends into the channel for water circulation in the pipe 10, and the ultrasonic waves generated directly act on the water; alternatively, the transmitting end does not extend into the channel for water circulation in the pipe 10, but the ultrasonic waves generated by it can act on the water. Specifically, the transmitting block 5 is coupled with a metal block, and the metal block extends into the channel for water circulation in the pipe 10. The transmitting block 5 is made of metal, but is not limited to stainless steel, titanium alloy, aluminum alloy, etc.

[0029] refer to Figure 1 In the embodiment of the present application, a multi-way connecting tube 3 is further included. The multi-way connecting tube 3 has N passages, where N is not less than 3. The pipeline 10 includes at least N-1 branches 11. The ultrasonic body 4 is sealedly installed in one passage of the multi-way connecting tube 3. The other passages of the multi-way connecting tube 3 are respectively connected to the branches 11 one by one. The branches 11 are connected to the input pipe or output pipe of the tap water.

[0030] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 During operation, the generator 8 is activated, and the ultrasonic body 4 converts the electrical signal generated by the generator 8 into mechanical vibrations, namely ultrasonic waves. These ultrasonic waves form an acoustic field within the pipe 10 and the multi-way interconnecting tube 3. The acoustic field intensity within the multi-way interconnecting tube 3 is higher than that within the pipe 10, which can excite bubbles in the water and trigger ultrasonic cavitation. Under the high temperature and high pressure conditions generated by the ultrasonic waves, chlorides are decomposed into more manageable compounds. Furthermore, ultrasonic waves are highly destructive to algae cysts and larvae, helping to reduce the amount of algae in the water and prevent them from adhering to the walls of the pipe 10. This achieves the goals of descaling, anti-scaling, and dechlorination.

[0031] The material of the multi-way connecting pipe 3 of the present application is not limited to metals such as stainless steel, titanium alloy, and plastics such as PVC and POM; the material of the branch pipe 11 is also not limited to metals such as stainless steel, titanium alloy, and plastics such as PVC and POM.

During installation, the oblique three-way pipe can be installed at any cut-off point of the pipeline 10, and there is no limit to the processing position requirements, and installation and processing can be achieved at any position.

The shell and the corresponding passage are sealed and connected by the seal 7, so that the ultrasonic body 4 has a waterproof function and can be directly placed in water to work and produce an ultrasonic effect. Figure 1 .

[0035] Preferably, the ultrasonic body 4 is housed in the housing 2 and connected to the interior of the housing 2 via an adhesive element 1 .

[0036] refer to Figure 1 The ultrasonic body 4 can be mounted on the pipe 10 vertically or at any angle.

The ultrasonic frequency value, etc., can also be adjusted using the adjustment knob 82.

[0038] Preferably, the ultrasonic frequency range of the ultrasonic device is 15-100 KHZ.

[0039] In one application example, an ultrasonic device for dechlorinating and removing algae from tap water, provided by the present invention, was installed in a water pipe 10. The ultrasonic frequency was set to 40 kHz, and the treatment time was two hours. After treatment, the chloride concentration in the tap water was reduced by 60%, and the algae content was reduced by 70%.

[0040] In the second application case, an ultrasonic device for dechlorination and algae removal of piped tap water provided by the utility model was installed in a tap water pipe 10. By adjusting the ultrasonic frequency to 20kHz and extending the treatment time to 4 hours, a higher dechlorination and algae removal effect was achieved, meeting more stringent water quality standards.

[0041] In summary, the present invention provides an ultrasonic device for dechlorinating and removing algae from piped tap water. The ultrasonic device comprises at least a generator 8 and an ultrasonic body 4; at least one ultrasonic body 4 is mounted on a pipe 10; the transmitting end of the ultrasonic body 4 includes a transmitting block 5, and the transmitting block 5 is in direct or indirect contact with the water supply channel in the pipe 10.
