The advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description and claims. It should be noted that the drawings are greatly simplified and not to exact scale, and are intended solely to facilitate and clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention.

[0035] The following is attached with the instruction manual Figure 1 , the injection water pretreatment disinfection device of the utility model is introduced.

[0036] In one embodiment, the injection water pretreatment disinfection device includes a raw water tank 10, a primary filter 20, a softener, a secondary filter 40, a first pipeline 50, a second pipeline 60 and a heat exchanger 70. The second pipeline 60 exchanges heat with the first pipeline 50 through the heat exchanger 70 to heat the water in the first pipeline 50 to a pasteurization temperature.

[0037] The raw water tank 10 has a liquid inlet disposed at the upper portion of the raw water tank 10 and a liquid outlet disposed at the lower portion of the raw water tank 10 . The first pipeline 50 flows through the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet and then connects the primary filter 20 , the softener and the secondary filter 40 in series.

[0038] The first pipeline 50 is used to introduce the water in the raw water tank 10 into the primary filter 20 , the softener, and the secondary filter 40 and finally return the water to the raw water tank 10 .

[0039] When the WFI system of the present invention is used to treat water, the primary filter 20, softener, and secondary filter 40 disinfect the raw water in real time. At set intervals, hot water is introduced into the second pipeline 60, gradually heating the water circulating in the first pipeline 50 to the pasteurization temperature via the heat exchanger 70. The hot water then flows through the first pipeline 50, through the primary filter 20, softener, and secondary filter 40, and ultimately returns to the raw water tank 10. This regularly pasteurizes the entire system, improving its cleanliness and, in turn, enhancing the WFI pretreatment and disinfection effectiveness of the system.

[0040] Wherein, the primary filter 20 is used to remove physical impurities such as suspended matter, silt and fine particles contained in the raw water, which helps to improve the clarity and overall water quality of the water, and can also prevent larger particles from entering subsequent treatment equipment (such as softeners and secondary filters 40), thereby extending the service life of subsequent treatment equipment and reducing maintenance costs. Preferably, the primary filter 20 can be a quartz sand filter. In other embodiments, the primary filter 20 can also be a bag filter or a mesh filter, and the bag filter is a bag made of fibers or synthetic materials with various pore sizes, which can intercept larger particles, and the mesh filter is made of metal mesh or plastic mesh with different mesh sizes, which can filter larger particles and suspended matter.

[0041] The secondary filter 40 is used to adsorb odors, pigments, free chlorine and chlorides in the raw water, and protect subsequent membrane treatment equipment (such as reverse osmosis membranes) from the oxidizing effect of chlorine. Preferably, the secondary filter 40 is an activated carbon filter. The activated carbon filter has a strong adsorption capacity. In addition to adsorbing odors, pigments, free chlorine and chlorides in the raw water, it can also effectively remove organic matter in the water, including humic acid, fulvic acid, certain dyes, pesticides, synthetic detergents and other organic compounds. In other embodiments, the secondary filter 40 can also be a carbon sand filter. This type of filter combines the functions of activated carbon and sand filtration and has a better filtering effect.

[0042] In one embodiment, sampling points 52 and temperature sensors 53 are provided at multiple positions of the first pipeline 50. The sampling points 52 are used to sample water at different positions in the entire device to timely understand the quality of water at different positions. The temperature sensor 53 is used to measure the water temperature in the first pipeline 50.

[0043] In one embodiment, a plurality of pneumatic butterfly valves 54 are provided on the first pipeline 50 to control the opening and closing of different positions of the first pipeline 50 , and a plurality of pneumatic angle seat valves 61 are provided in the second pipeline 60 to control the opening and closing of different positions of the second pipeline 60 .

[0044] In one embodiment, to ensure sufficient water flow from the raw water tank 10 downstream, the first pipeline 50 is equipped with a pressure boosting device located between the liquid outlet and the primary filter 20. Specifically, the pressure boosting device includes a raw water pump 80 and a first pressure gauge 51 located downstream of the raw water pump 80. The raw water pump 80 is located in the portion of the first pipeline 50 adjacent to the liquid outlet of the raw water tank 10. The raw water pump 80 pumps liquid from the raw water tank 10 and delivers it to the primary filter 20, softener, and secondary filter 40, allowing the water to circulate within the first pipeline. The first pressure gauge 51 measures the water pressure in the corresponding portion of the first pipeline 50 between the raw water pump 80 and the primary filter 20. Preferably, the raw water pump 80 is a centrifugal pump, but other types of pumps are also acceptable.

[0045] In one embodiment, the softener is disposed upstream of the secondary filter 40. The softener can first remove hardness ions, such as calcium and magnesium ions, thereby preventing the hardness ions from forming precipitation on the reverse osmosis membrane during the subsequent fine treatment and disinfection process, thereby affecting the service life and efficiency of the reverse osmosis membrane. It can also protect subsequent water treatment equipment from scaling.

[0046] In one embodiment, the softener is preferably a resin softener. The resin softener operates through an ion exchange process. Resin is typically a synthetic material with exchangeable sodium ions. When water containing hardness ions passes through the resin, calcium and magnesium ions in the water exchange with sodium ions on the resin, removing the hardness ions and releasing sodium ions. Resin softeners can efficiently remove hardness ions from water, are relatively simple to operate, and have low maintenance costs.

[0047] In one embodiment, in order to improve the softening effect of raw water, a multi-stage softening method is adopted in this embodiment. Specifically, the softener includes a first softener 31 and a second softener 32 connected in series. The second softener 32 can perform secondary softening on the raw water flowing through the first softener 31, thereby improving the softening effect.

[0048] A second pressure gauge 55 is provided between the primary filter 20 and the first softener 31. The second pressure gauge 55 is used to measure the water pressure in the corresponding portion of the first pipeline 50 between the primary filter 20 and the first softener 31. A third pressure gauge 56 is provided between the first softener 31 and the second softener 32. The third pressure gauge 56 is used to measure the water pressure in the corresponding portion of the first pipeline 50 between the first softener 31 and the second softener 32. A fourth pressure gauge 57 is provided between the second softener 32 and the secondary filter 40. The fourth pressure gauge 57 is used to measure the water pressure in the corresponding portion of the first pipeline 50 between the second softener 32 and the secondary filter 40. In one embodiment, as shown in the figure, the raw water tank 10 includes a tank body 11 and a tank cover 12. The tank cover 12 is provided at the opening of the tank body 11 to seal the tank body 11. The liquid inlet is provided on the tank cover 12, and the liquid outlet is located at the bottom of the tank body 11. In order to ensure sealing, a sealing ring is provided between the box body 11 and the box cover 12 for sealing.

[0049] Preferably, the liquid outlet is located at the bottom of the box body 11, which is conducive to promoting thorough drainage, reducing the possibility of residual water, and preventing scale accumulation and microbial generation; on the other hand, it can save design space and is conducive to miniaturization of the device.

[0050] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
