AI Technical Summary
Traditional water supply equipment, when scraping scale, often uses a scraping method that maintains a constant thickness, which can easily damage the scraper and drive mechanism, affecting the lifespan of the device.
A stepped scraping method is adopted, in which an electric push rod drives the scraper to gradually approach the inner wall of the tank, scraping away the scale layer by layer. The scraping speed is controlled by a rubber ring buffer and a pressure sensor to avoid directly scraping away thicker scale.
It effectively protects the inner wall of the tank and the cleaning mechanism, extends the service life of the device, and reduces the risk of damage.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water supply equipment technology, and more specifically, to an online automatic descaling water supply device. Background Technology
[0002] Online automatic descaling water supply equipment is a water supply system with automatic scale removal capabilities. It aims to solve the problems caused by the deposition of calcium and magnesium ions in the water during long-term operation of traditional water supply equipment, which leads to scale formation and consequently affects equipment performance, water supply efficiency, and water quality.
[0003] Water supply equipment contains tanks for storing water. Scale easily accumulates on the inner walls of these tanks. The traditional method for removing scale is to use a drive mechanism to rotate a scraper along the inner wall of the tank, thereby scraping off the scale. However, the scale on the inner wall of the tank varies in thickness. Regardless of the thickness of the scale, the pressure of the scraper on the tank remains constant. When scraping off thicker scale, the scraper and the mechanism that drives it to rotate are very prone to damage. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 In this utility model: an online automatic descaling water supply device includes a tank 1, a wear-resistant cylinder 2 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the tank 1, an inlet pipe 3 slidably connected to the top of the tank 1, a lifting mechanism 4 for controlling the raising and lowering of the inlet pipe 3 on the top of the tank 1, the bottom end of the inlet pipe 3 being inserted into and movably connected to the wear-resistant cylinder 2, a lifting plate 5 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inlet pipe 3, a conduit 6 connected to the bottom of the lifting plate 5, a drain pipe 7 fixedly connected to the bottom of the wear-resistant cylinder 2, the bottom end of the drain pipe 7 penetrating and extending to the bottom of the tank 1, a three-way pipe 8 rotatably connected to the bottom end of the drain pipe 7, solenoid valves 9 installed at both ends of the bottom of the three-way pipe 8 and on the conduit 6, a drive mechanism 10 for driving the drain pipe 7 to rotate installed at the bottom of the tank 1, and annularly distributed electric push rods 11 inserted on the outer side of the lifting plate 5. A circular plate 12 is fixedly connected to the end of rod 11 away from the lifting plate 5. A signal transmitter 18, a signal receiver 19, and a controller 20 are fixedly connected to the front of the tank body 1. The lifting mechanism 4 includes a mounting box 401. The bottom of the mounting box 401 is fixedly connected to the tank body 1. A lead screw 402 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 401. A motor 403 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting box 401. The output shaft of the motor 403 passes through the mounting box 401 and is fixedly connected to the lead screw 402. A lifting block 404 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 402. The left side of the lifting block 404 is fixedly connected to the water inlet pipe 3. The drive mechanism 10 includes a second motor 101. The bottom of the second motor 101 is embedded in the bottom of the tank body 1. A drive wheel 102 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 101. A driven wheel 103 that meshes with the drive wheel 102 is fixedly connected to the drain pipe 7.
[0028] In this invention, during use, the water for storage enters the lifting plate 5 through the water inlet pipe 3, and then flows into the wear-resistant cylinder 2 through the conduit 6, thereby realizing the storage of water. When water is needed, the user opens the solenoid valve 9 on the right side of the three-way pipe 8, at which time the water in the wear-resistant cylinder 2 will be discharged from the three-way pipe 8 for the user to use.
[0029] After prolonged use, a large amount of scale will accumulate on the inner wall of the wear-resistant cylinder 2, requiring cleaning. The user can send a signal to the signal receiver 19 via their mobile phone. The controller 20 will then activate motor 101 to rotate the drive wheel 102. The drive wheel 102, through the driven wheel 103 and drain pipe 7, will then rotate the wear-resistant cylinder 2. During rotation, the user can activate the electric push rod 11, which will move the circular plate 12 closer to the inner wall of the wear-resistant cylinder 2. As the circular plate 12 contacts the inner wall, it slides along it, effectively scraping away the scale. The circular plate 12 gradually approaches the inner wall; before contacting the inner wall, it will initially come into contact with thicker scale. Therefore, as the circular plate 12 gradually approaches the inner wall... Thicker scale will be scraped off layer by layer, effectively avoiding the situation where thicker scale is scraped off directly. This protects the wear-resistant cylinder 2 from serious impact damage and extends the service life of all structures of the water supply device. After the scale near the lifting plate 5 is removed, the user reverses the electric push rod 11 to move the circular plate 12 away from the wear-resistant cylinder 2. Then, the motor 403 is turned on to rotate the lead screw 402. The lifting block 404 will descend along the inner wall of the mounting box 401. During this process, the water inlet pipe 3 will descend, which in turn will cause the lifting plate 5 to descend. After the lifting plate 5 descends, the scale removal operation can be performed on other parts of the wear-resistant cylinder 2 until the bottom of the lifting plate 5 contacts the inner bottom wall of the wear-resistant cylinder 2. At this time, due to the friction, the scale on the inner bottom wall of the wear-resistant cylinder 2 and the bottom of the lifting plate 5 will be removed, thus completing the scale removal effect on the wear-resistant cylinder 2.
[0030] Please see Figure 3 The circular plate 12 is fitted with a sliding sleeve 13 that is slidably connected to it. A rubber ring 14 is fixedly connected between the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 13 and the circular plate 12. A scraper 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding sleeve 13.
[0031] In this invention, the scraper 15 on the sliding sleeve 13 can replace the circular plate 12 to contact the wear-resistant cylinder 2, and the rubber ring 14 can buffer the impact force on the scraper 15, thereby reducing damage to the wear-resistant cylinder 2 and improving the service life of the device.
[0032] Please see Figure 3The inner side of the sliding sleeve 13 is fixedly connected to a pressure sensor 21, and one side of the pressure sensor 21 is in contact with the circular plate 12.
[0033] In this invention, the pressure sensor 21 can detect the pressure on the scraper 15, which helps to control the speed at which the electric push rod 11 drives the scraper 15 to move, reducing the occurrence of bumps when removing scale, and thus improving the practicality of the device.
[0034] Please see Figures 3-5 Among them: a ring of water spray pipes 16 are inserted through the lifting plate 5, one end of the water spray pipe 16 is connected to the lifting plate 5, and a solenoid valve 17 is installed on the water spray pipe 16.
[0035] In this invention, during the process of removing scale, the user closes the solenoid valve 9 on the conduit 6 and opens the solenoid valve 17. At this time, water is injected into the water inlet pipe 3, and the water will be sprayed through the spray pipe 16 onto the wear-resistant cylinder 2 after the scale has been removed, thereby improving the scale removal effect.
[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model; however, the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
