Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of chemical raw material production, and in particular to an ion exchanger. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's quality of life, various water boilers have become common in homes, offices and public places. In order to improve the quality of drinking water and ensure that the water boiler can work for a long time, the tap water must be treated before being heated by the water boiler to filter out impurities, scale and other harmful substances in the tap water. The treatment process includes filtration, ion exchange, etc.

[0003] Ion exchangers are one of the most critical components in the water treatment process. Their primary function is to convert hard water, which contains a high concentration of soluble calcium and magnesium compounds, into soft water with no or low concentrations of these compounds after treatment with ion exchange resins. However, existing technologies simply filter hard water through the resins, concentrating the water inflow rather than dispersing it, which affects the ion exchange reaction speed and effluent quality. Furthermore, during the regeneration and flushing processes, brine discharge into the exchanger results in low brine utilization and unstable discharge flow, leading to low regeneration efficiency. Consequently, these issues present challenges. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to make up for the above shortcomings, the utility model provides an ion exchanger, which disperses the hard water inlet and evenly sprinkles the water to be exchanged on the exchange resin, thereby improving the reaction speed of ion exchange and the water quality of the effluent. In addition, it can make the brine utilization rate higher, the discharge flow rate stable, and the regeneration efficiency high.

[0005] This application is implemented as follows:

[0006] An exchanger assembly, the exchanger assembly comprising a cylinder, an upper cover and a lower cover, a resin exchange layer being fixedly disposed in the cylinder, and the upper cover and the lower cover being connected to both ends of the cylinder;

[0007] The conveying assembly includes a water inlet coil, a disperser, a brine pipe, a water outlet pipe, a backwash pipe and a salt outlet pipe. The water inlet coil is fixedly connected to the upper cover, the disperser is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water inlet coil, one end of the brine pipe is fixedly connected to the top side of the cylinder, the water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the lower cover, the backwash pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the cylinder, and the salt outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the cylinder.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present application, the water inlet coil comprises a water inlet pipe, a connecting pipe and a spiral coil, one end of the water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe, the spiral coil is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe, and the spiral coil is located inside the upper cover.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present application, spray ports are evenly fixed on the spiral coil.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present application, the disperser includes a support plate and a water cap, the support plate is fixedly connected to the cylinder, and the water cap is evenly arranged on the support plate.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present application, the brine pipe includes a salt storage tank, a salt inlet pipe and a centrifugal salt pump, one end of the salt inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the salt storage tank, the other end of the salt inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the top side of the cylinder, and the centrifugal salt pump is installed on the salt inlet pipe.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present application, a pH detector is fixedly installed on the water outlet pipe and the salt outlet pipe.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present application, the upper cover, the lower cover and the peripheral side of the cylinder are fixedly connected with flanges, and the upper cover, the lower cover and the cylinder are fixedly connected through the flanges.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present application, the resin exchange layer includes a filter chuck and a resin body, two filter chucks are fixedly connected in the cylinder, and the resin body is clamped on the filter chuck.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: during normal use, hard water enters the cylinder through the water inlet coil fitting, and is then dispersed through the water inlet coil fitting and the disperser, so that the hard water is dispersed on the resin exchange layer. After filtration and exchange by the resin exchange layer, it becomes soft water and is released through the outlet pipe. When the resin exchange layer loses its ion exchange function, the resin needs to be regenerated, and the brine is sprayed out through the brine pipe fitting, and the brine flows out of the salt outlet pipe, so that the brine slowly flows through the resin exchange layer, so that it does not simply soak the resin exchange layer in brine, thereby better regeneration and improving regeneration efficiency. The device disperses the hard water through the water inlet coil fitting and the disperser, so that the reaction speed during ion exchange is faster and the water quality of the outlet water is better. The brine pipe fitting is used to stabilize the brine flow rate and increase the brine utilization rate, thereby improving the regeneration efficiency of the resin, thereby solving the problems of concentrated and undispersed water in the existing technology, slow ion exchange reaction speed and poor outlet water quality, low brine utilization rate, unstable discharge flow rate, and low regeneration efficiency.

[0024] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0025] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an ion exchanger according to an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0026] The exchanger assembly 100 comprises a cylinder 110, an upper cover 120 and a lower cover 130, the resin exchange layer 140 is fixedly arranged in the cylinder 110, and the upper cover 120 and the lower cover 130 are connected to two ends of the cylinder 110;

[0027] The conveying assembly 200 comprises a water inlet coil 210, a disperser 220, a brine pipe 230, a water outlet pipe 240, a backflush pipe 250 and a salt outlet pipe 260, the water inlet coil 210 is fixedly connected to the upper cover 120, the disperser 220 is fixedly connected below the water inlet coil 210, one end of the brine pipe 230 is fixedly connected to one side of the top end of the cylinder 110, the water outlet pipe 240 is fixedly connected to the lower cover 130, the backflush pipe 250 is fixedly connected to the top end of the cylinder 110, and the salt outlet pipe 260 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom end of the cylinder 110. In normal use, hard water enters the cylinder 110 through the water inlet coil 210, is dispersed twice by the water inlet coil 210 and the disperser 220, is dispersedly distributed on the resin exchange layer 140, and becomes soft water after filtration and exchange by the resin exchange layer 140 and is discharged through the water outlet pipe 240. When the resin exchange layer 140 loses ion exchange function, the resin needs to be regenerated, salt water is sprayed out through the brine pipe 230, flows out of the salt outlet pipe 260, and slowly flows through the resin exchange layer 140, so that the resin exchange layer 140 is not simply soaked in the salt water, thereby better regeneration and improved regeneration efficiency. The device disperses hard water distribution more dispersedly through the water inlet coil 210 and the disperser 220, makes the ion exchange reaction faster, and makes the water quality better. The salt water flow rate is stable by the brine pipe 230, the salt water utilization rate is high, and the resin regeneration efficiency is improved, thereby solving the problems of concentrated water inlet mode, slow ion exchange reaction speed, poor water quality, low salt water utilization rate, unstable discharge flow rate and low regeneration efficiency in the prior art.

[0028] As shown in Figure 3 , the water inlet coil 210 comprises a water inlet pipe 211, a connecting pipe 212 and a spiral coil 213, one end of the water inlet pipe 211 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 212, and the spiral coil 213 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 212. Hard water enters the spiral coil 213 through the water inlet pipe 211 and the connecting pipe 212.

[0029] As shown in Figure 4 , the spiral coil 213 is uniformly provided with spray openings 214. Hard water is uniformly sprayed onto the disperser 220 through the spray openings 214.

[0030] As shown in Figure 5As shown, the disperser 220 includes a support plate 221 and a water cap 222. The support plate 221 is fixedly connected to the cylinder 110, and the water cap 222 is evenly arranged on the support plate 221. The hard water evenly sprayed to the disperser 220 is dispersed again by the water cap 222, so that the hard water is sprayed more evenly.

[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, the brine pipe 230 includes a salt storage tank 231, a salt inlet pipe 232, and a centrifugal salt pump 233. One end of the salt inlet pipe 232 is fixedly connected to the salt storage tank 231, and the other end of the salt inlet pipe 232 is fixedly connected to the top side of the cylinder 110. The centrifugal salt pump 233 is installed on the salt inlet pipe 232. The centrifugal salt pump 233 can stabilize the flow rate of the brine discharge flow and uniform the concentration of the brine sprayed into the cylinder 110, thereby increasing the brine utilization rate and regeneration efficiency. A pH detector 270 is fixedly installed on the water outlet pipe 240 and the salt outlet pipe 260. The pH detector 270 can detect the pH value of the liquid. The pH detector 270 on the water outlet pipe 240 can detect the pH value of the soft water to facilitate the determination of whether the resin needs to be regenerated; the pH detector 270 on the salt outlet pipe 260 can determine whether the brine has been completely drained after flushing. Flanges 150 are fixedly connected to the sides of the upper and lower covers 120, 130, and the cylindrical body 110. These flanges 150 securely connect the upper and lower covers 120, 130 to the cylindrical body 110. Flanges 150 facilitate removal and installation of the upper and lower covers 120, 130. The resin exchange layer 140 includes filter chucks 141 and a resin body 142. The two filter chucks 141 are fixedly connected to the cylindrical body 110, and the resin body 142 is clamped to the filter chucks 141. The filter chucks 141 provide a preliminary filter for fine impurities in hard water, while the resin body 142 is used for ion exchange.

[0032] In summary, the working principle of an ion exchanger of an embodiment of the present invention is as follows: during normal use, hard water enters the spiral coil 213 through the water inlet pipe 211 and the connecting pipe 212, is evenly sprayed onto the support plate 221 through the spray port 214, and is dispersed again through the water cap 222, so that the hard water is sprayed more evenly, and the hard water is dispersed on the resin body 142. After being filtered and exchanged by the resin body 142, it becomes soft water and is released through the water outlet pipe 240. When the resin body 142 loses its ion exchange function, the resin needs to be regenerated, and the salt water in the salt storage tank 231 is sprayed onto the cylinder 110 through the salt inlet pipe 232. The salt water flows out of the salt outlet pipe 260, so that the salt water slowly flows through the resin exchange layer 140, making it non-simple. The resin exchange layer 140 is soaked in brine, so as to achieve better regeneration and improve regeneration efficiency. The centrifugal salt pump 233 can stabilize the flow rate of the brine discharge flow, and the concentration of the brine sprayed into the cylinder 110 is uniform, so that the brine utilization rate is increased and the regeneration efficiency is increased. This device is double-dispersed by the spiral coil 213 and the water cap 222, so that the hard water distribution is more dispersed, the reaction speed during ion exchange is faster, and the water quality of the effluent is better. The centrifugal salt pump 233 is used to stabilize the brine flow rate and increase the brine utilization rate, thereby improving the regeneration efficiency of the resin, thereby solving the problems of centralized and non-dispersed water inlet mode, slow ion exchange reaction speed and poor effluent water quality, low brine utilization rate, unstable discharge flow rate, and low regeneration efficiency in the current technology.
