Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of softened water detection devices, and more specifically, to a fully automatic online monitoring softened water device. Background Art

[0002] In daily life, we often see water scale formed on the inner wall of a hot water kettle. This is because the water we use contains inorganic salts such as calcium and magnesium salts. Water containing such substances is generally called hard water. Through methods such as heating and boiling, these substances in hard water will precipitate in the form of carbonates.

[0003] In a heating system, the precipitated carbonates will accumulate in facilities such as heating pipes, heaters, filters, and water tanks, reducing the usage effect of the heating facilities, increasing the energy consumption of the heating system, and shortening the service life of the heating facilities. Therefore, the water entering the heating system needs to be softened, and at the same time, the softened water needs to be monitored. Thus, the present invention provides a fully automatic online monitoring softened water device. [[ID=!3]]Summary of the Invention

The water diversion structure 2 is composed of a water diversion pipe 201, a shunt pipe 203, a detection pipe 204, a waste water tank 205, an electric valve 202 and a manual water intake valve 206. The electric valve 202 is installed on the water diversion pipe 201 and the shunt pipe 203. The manual water intake valve 206 is connected to the rightmost side of the shunt pipe 203. The soft water detection structure is installed inside the cabinet body 102. The soft water detection structure is composed of a conductivity detector 4 and a pH value detector 3. The electric control component 7 is composed of a digital display 704, a control panel 705, a control circuit board 702, a micro antenna 701 and a power supply component 703. The conductivity detector 4, the pH value detector 3, the digital display 704, the control panel 705, the microstrip antenna, and the power supply component 703 are respectively connected to the control circuit board 702 through lead wires. The power supply component 703 is composed of a backup power supply, a transformer, a three-phase power plug and a ground protection wire. The digital display 704, the control panel 705, the control circuit board 702, and the micro antenna 701 are evenly arranged on the cabinet door 101.

[0021] Preferably, the inside of the fixed cabinet body 102 is divided into three chambers by a water-proof partition 6. The three chambers are in a "pin" shape. The shunt pipe 203 and the detection pipe 204 are installed in the upper chamber, the electric control component 7 is installed in the lower left chamber, and the waste water tank 205 is installed in the lower right chamber.

[0022] Preferably, the shunt pipe 203 in the water diversion structure 2 is对接 with the water diversion pipe 201 in a "worker" shape. The shunt pipe 203 has a对接 interface with external threads, and the对接 interfaces are respectively used for对接 the detection pipe 204 and the waste water tank 205. <第0000051号><第0000052号>Preferably, the detection tubes 204 include a water hardness detection tube 2041 and a pH value detection tube 2042. Both detection tubes 204 are made of transparent material and have internal threads on the bottom that match the docking port. The water hardness detection tube 2041 and the pH value detection tube 2042 have rubber sealing sleeves 5 on the top.

[0024] Preferably, the diameter of the water hardness detection tube 2041 is not greater than 10 mm.

[0025] Preferably, the conductivity detector 4 and the pH value detector 3 are respectively connected to the water hardness detection tube 2041 and the pH value detection tube 2042 by inserting a rubber sealing sleeve 5. After docking, the bottom of the conductivity detector 4 and the pH value detector 3 need to pass through the rubber sealing sleeve 5 and extend into the water hardness detection tube 2041 and the pH value detection tube 2042.

[0026] In practical application, the present invention needs to be installed at the tail end of a softened water treatment device (providing soft water for a heating system) or the front end of a heating system. During operation, the power supply assembly 703 supplies power to the electric control assembly 7, the softened water detection structure and the water diversion structure 2. When the present invention is installed, the water diversion pipe 201 is connected to the pipe at the front end of the heating system. After the connection is completed, the detection time is set by the electronic control component 7 (for the convenience of the following description, the detection time is preset to once every 30 minutes). After the setting is completed, the present invention is started, and then the present invention takes samples through the water diversion pipe 201 once every 30 minutes for detection. During the detection, the electric control component 7 controls the electric valve 202 on the water diversion structure 2 to switch. During sampling, the electric valve 202 on the water diversion pipe 201 is opened, and water flows from the water diversion pipe 201 into the diversion pipe 203. When the water in the diversion pipe 203 reaches the detection height, the electric valve 202 on the water diversion pipe 201 is closed, and the softened water detection structure begins to detect the hardness and pH value of the water in the diversion pipe 203. The detection data is displayed by the digital display 704 and can be further transmitted to the outside world through the electronic control component 7. After the detection is completed, the water in the diversion pipe 203 is stored in the diversion pipe 203 until the diversion pipe 203 starts next time. The electric valve 202 at the bottom opens to discharge the water in the diversion pipe 203 into the waste water tank 205. This cycle allows for continuous monitoring of the water entering the heating system.

[0027] When manual sampling is required, the manual water extraction valve 206 on the far right of the diversion pipe 203 is opened to take samples. When draining wastewater, the valve connected to the right side of the wastewater tank 205 is opened to drain wastewater.

[0028] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art may modify or improve the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or variations accomplished by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concepts disclosed herein shall be encompassed by the claims of the present invention.
