DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0024] The present application provides a soft water mechanism and a soft water device to solve the problem that in the related art, the soft water resin in the resin tank is easily contaminated by bacteria and pollutants after long-term use, thereby causing the water flowing through the resin tank to be contaminated, and further causing the water quality to decrease.

[0025] In a first aspect, the present application provides a soft water mechanism, as shown in Figure 1 The soft water mechanism is applied to a soft water device, and the soft water mechanism comprises a resin tank 10, a liquid path structure 20 and a disinfection assembly 30.

[0026] The resin tank 10 has a water treatment cavity 11 for containing soft water resin. The soft water resin can replace hardness ions such as calcium and magnesium in water when the water passes through, thereby removing the hardness ions in the water and improving the water quality. The specific working principle of the resin tank 10 has been disclosed in the related art, and will not be described here.

[0027] The liquid path structure 20 comprises a water inlet pipe 21, a water outlet pipe 22 and a sewage pipe 23 which are selectively communicated with the water treatment cavity 11. The water inlet pipe 21 can be connected with a water tank, a tap water pipe or a total water inlet of a house, etc. which can provide a water source. The water in the water source can enter the water treatment cavity 11 through the water inlet pipe 21. The water treated by the soft water resin in the water treatment cavity 11 can be discharged through the water outlet pipe 22 for use by the user. The water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 22 can also be connected with a water faucet or a spray head, etc. to make the user more convenient to use. After the soft water resin in the water treatment cavity 11 is cleaned, disinfected, sterilized, etc., the disinfectant water in the water treatment cavity 11 can be discharged through the sewage pipe 23.

[0028] The discharge port of the disinfection assembly 30 is selectively communicated with the water treatment cavity 11. The disinfection assembly 30 is used to provide disinfectant and ozone to the water treatment cavity 11 through the discharge port. It can be understood that in the present application, the disinfection assembly 30 can provide sterilization and disinfection for the soft water resin in the water treatment cavity 11, which can prevent the soft water resin from being contaminated by bacteria and pollutants, thereby improving the water quality. In addition, the disinfection assembly 30 can provide two types of sterilizing agents, i.e. disinfectant and ozone. The user can select the type and amount of sterilizing agent according to different types or / and different states of the resin tank 10. For example, when the amount of disinfectant is small, a small amount of disinfectant can be used for preliminary sterilization. When the disinfectant is consumed, ozone can be used for sterilization and disinfection, thereby ensuring the sterilization time, and thus ensuring the comprehensive and thorough sterilization of the soft water resin. In addition, ozone has strong oxidizing ability, which can effectively kill bacteria and microorganisms, and there is no chemical residue left in the water treatment cavity 11 after disinfection, which can ensure the water quality of the soft water machine, thereby providing the user with healthier and safer water quality.

[0029] Specifically, the disinfection assembly 30 comprises a salt water electrolyzer 31 and an ozone generator 32. The electrolysis chamber 311 of the salt water electrolyzer 31 is selectively communicated with the water treatment cavity 11. The salt water electrolyzer 31 is used to electrolyze the salt water in the electrolysis chamber 311 to generate disinfectant and provide the disinfectant to the water treatment cavity 11. The ionization chamber 321 of the ozone generator 32 is selectively communicated with the water treatment cavity 11. The ozone generator 32 is used to ionize the oxygen in the ionization chamber 321 to generate ozone and provide the ozone to the water treatment cavity 11.

[0030] It can be understood that the electrolysis module in the electrolysis chamber 311 of the brine electrolyzer 31 can electrolyze the brine. Under the action of an electric field, anions (such as chloride ions) in the brine migrate to the anode, and near the anode, chloride ions are more likely to lose electrons than other anions to be oxidized to generate chlorine. Cations (such as hydrogen ions) migrate to the cathode, and near the cathode, hydrogen ions are more likely to gain electrons than other cations to be reduced to generate hydrogen. During the electrolysis process, hydrogen ions continuously gain electrons on the cathode to generate hydrogen, which destroys the ionization balance of the brine near the cathode, thereby generating more hydroxyl ions to form an alkaline environment. Chlorine will generate hypochlorite in an alkaline environment, and hypochlorite will generate sodium hypochlorite with sodium ions, thereby generating a sodium hypochlorite solution. Sodium hypochlorite solution has strong oxidizing properties and can kill bacteria and disinfect organic matter. It is a good disinfectant. The specific working principle of the brine electrolyzer 31 has been disclosed in the related art, and will not be repeated here. The ionization module in the ionization chamber 321 of the ozone generator 32 can generate a high-voltage electric field. Through the action of the high-voltage electric field, the oxygen molecules in the ionization chamber 321 can be ionized to form oxygen atoms. The oxygen atoms generated during the ionization process are very active and will combine with the surrounding oxygen molecules to form ozone molecules. Therefore, the ozone generator 32 can provide ozone for the water treatment cavity 11, which can thoroughly disinfect the resin tank 10 without increasing the consumption of brine, thereby ensuring the water quality of the water softener. The specific working principle of the ozone generator 32 has been disclosed in the related art, and will not be repeated here.

[0031] In some embodiments, the disinfection assembly 30 further includes a jet device 33, a liquid outlet pipeline 34, a gas outlet pipeline 35, and a drainage pipeline 36. The jet device 33 has a liquid suction port 331, a gas suction port 332, and a jet port 333. The liquid suction port 331 is selectively connected to the electrolysis chamber 311 through the liquid outlet pipeline 34. The gas suction port 332 is selectively connected to the ionization chamber 321 through the gas outlet pipeline 35. The drainage pipeline 36 has a drainage port. The jet port 333 is selectively connected to the water treatment cavity 11 through the drainage pipeline 36.

[0032] It can be understood that the jet 33 can sequentially suck the disinfectant liquid generated in the brine electrolyzer 31 through the liquid suction port 331 and the liquid outlet pipe 34, and sequentially deliver the disinfectant liquid to the water treatment cavity 11 through the spray port 333, the liquid discharge pipe 36 and the liquid discharge port; the jet 33 can also sequentially suck the ozone generated in the ozone generator 32 through the air suction port 332 and the gas outlet pipe 35, and sequentially deliver the ozone to the water treatment cavity 11 through the spray port 333, the liquid discharge pipe 36 and the liquid discharge port. The jet 33 can provide ozone gas or ozone water for the water treatment cavity 11. When the jet 33 provides ozone gas for the water treatment cavity 11, the sucked ozone gas can be directly delivered to the water treatment cavity 11, and the ozone gas can be contained in the liquid in the water treatment cavity 11 to form ozone water. When the jet 33 provides ozone water for the water treatment cavity 11, the ozone gas can dissolve the sucked ozone gas in the sucked brine (or disinfectant liquid) to form ozone water.

[0033] It should be further pointed out that the two ends of the liquid outlet pipe 34 can be connected with the jet 33 and the brine electrolyzer 31 respectively, a valve body can be provided on the liquid outlet pipe 34 to control the on-off of the liquid suction port 331 and the electrolysis chamber 311, or the control valve of the brine electrolyzer 31 can be used to control the on-off of the liquid suction port 331 and the electrolysis chamber 311, so as to realize the selective conduction of the liquid suction port 331 and the electrolysis chamber 311. The two ends of the gas outlet pipe 35 can be connected with the jet 33 and the ozone generator 32 respectively, a valve body can be provided on the gas outlet pipe 35 to control the on-off of the air suction port 332 and the ionization chamber 321, or the control valve of the ozone generator 32 can be used to control the on-off of the air suction port 332 and the ionization chamber 321, so as to realize the selective conduction of the air suction port 332 and the ionization chamber 321.

[0034] In some embodiments, the disinfection assembly 30 further comprises a salt tank 37 and a salt outlet pipe 38. The salt tank 37 has a containing cavity 371, and the salt tank 37 is used to provide brine for the brine electrolyzer 31. The containing cavity 371 is selectively conductive to the liquid inlet of the electrolysis chamber 311 through the salt outlet pipe 38. It can be understood that the salt tank 37 is a tank body for storing brine in the water softening device. When it is needed to provide disinfectant liquid for the water treatment cavity 11, the electrolysis chamber 311 can be conductive to the containing cavity 371, and the liquid suction port 331 can be conductive to the electrolysis chamber 311. The brine in the containing cavity 371 can be sucked into the electrolysis chamber 311 by the suction force provided by the jet 33.

[0035] The storage chamber can be arranged in the containing cavity 371 or outside the containing cavity 371, and is used to store salt. When the salt water in the containing cavity 371 is consumed or is insufficient, the salt in the storage chamber can be placed in the containing cavity 371 by manual or mechanical structure, and water is injected into the containing cavity 371 to form salt water. In an embodiment, a water injection pipeline connected with the containing cavity 371 can be additionally arranged, and water in the water treatment cavity 11 can be injected into the containing cavity 371 through the drainage pipeline 36, the jet device 33 and the salt water electrolyzer 31.

[0036] In an embodiment, the ionization chamber 321 of the ozone generator 32 is connected with the atmosphere, and the ozone generator 32 is used to ionize the oxygen in the air to generate ozone. It can be understood that when ozone is needed, the air outside the ozone generator 32 can be sucked into the ionization chamber 321 by the suction force provided by the jet device 33, and the air can be used as raw material for preparing ozone, so that the production cost can be reduced.

[0037] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 As shown in the drawings, in some embodiments of the present application, the liquid path structure 20 further includes a first pipeline 24 and a first multi-channel valve 25. The first pipeline 24 is in communication with the water treatment cavity 11, and is selectively in communication with the water outlet pipeline 22 and the drainage port. The first multi-channel valve 25 has a first interface 251, a second interface 252 and a third interface 253. The first interface 251 is in communication with the water outlet pipeline 22, the second interface 252 is in communication with the drainage port, and the third interface 253 is in communication with the first pipeline 24. The first multi-channel valve 25 is used to control the opening and closing of the water outlet pipeline 22 and the first pipeline 24, and to control the opening and closing of the drainage port and the first pipeline 24. It can be understood that the first multi-channel valve 25 is a multi-channel valve with a gating function, and has at least three interfaces, i.e., the first interface 251, the second interface 252 and the third interface 253. The valve core in the first multi-channel valve 25 can realize the opening and closing between the first interface 251, the second interface 252 and the third interface 253, for example, the first interface 251 and the second interface 252 are in communication, and the first interface 251 and the third interface 253 are disconnected. The first multi-channel valve 25 can be a mechanical valve or an electromagnetic valve. The specific working principle of the multi-channel valve has been disclosed in the related art, and will not be described here.

[0038] It should be noted that the first multi-channel valve 25 has the function of gating, so that the water outlet pipe 22 and the drain port are not interfered with each other. When the disinfectant or / and ozone needs to be provided to the water treatment chamber 11, the second interface 252 and the third interface 253 are connected, and the first interface 251 and the third interface 253 are disconnected, so that the drain port is connected to the water treatment chamber 11, and the water outlet pipe 22 is disconnected from the water treatment chamber 11. When the soft water needs to be provided to the user, the first interface 251 and the third interface 253 are connected, and the second interface 252 and the third interface 253 are disconnected, so that the water outlet pipe 22 is connected to the water treatment chamber 11, and the drain port is disconnected from the water treatment chamber 11. The multi-channel valve can realize the multi-directional connection function, thereby reducing the number of valves and the cost.

[0039] In some embodiments, the liquid path structure 20 further comprises a second pipe 26 and a second multi-channel valve 27. The second pipe 26 is connected to the water treatment chamber 11, and is selectively connected to the water inlet pipe 21 and the drain pipe 23. The second multi-channel valve 27 has a first valve port 271 and a second valve port 272. The first valve port 271 is connected to the water inlet pipe 21, and the second valve port 272 is connected to the second pipe 26. The second multi-channel valve 27 is used to control the connection between the water inlet pipe 21 and the second pipe 26. It can be understood that the second multi-channel valve 27 is also a multi-channel valve with gating function. The valve ports such as the first valve port 271 and the second valve port 272 are interfaces of the second multi-channel valve 27. The valve core in the second multi-channel valve 27 can realize the connection between the valve ports such as the first valve port 271 and the second valve port 272. The second multi-channel valve 27 can be a mechanical valve or an electromagnetic valve.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first multi-channel valve 25 further has a fourth interface 254 connected to the drain pipe 23. The first multi-channel valve 25 is further used to control the connection between the drain pipe 23 and the first pipe 24. In some embodiments, the second multi-channel valve 27 further has a third valve port 273 connected to the drain pipe 23. The second multi-channel valve 27 is further used to control the connection between the drain pipe 23 and the second pipe 26.

[0041] It should be noted that when the first multi-channel valve 25 also has the fourth interface 254, after the softening resin in the water treatment cavity 11 is cleaned, sterilized, disinfected, or the like, the third interface 253 can be communicated with the fourth interface 254 to communicate the water treatment cavity 11 with the drain pipe 23, and the disinfectant water in the water treatment cavity 11 can be sequentially discharged through the first pipeline 24, the third interface 253, the fourth interface 254, and the drain pipe 23, and the disinfectant water can be used to sterilize and disinfect the first pipeline 24. When the second multi-channel valve 27 also has the third valve port 273, after the softening resin in the water treatment cavity 11 is cleaned, sterilized, disinfected, or the like, the third interface 253 can be communicated with the third valve port 273 to communicate the water treatment cavity 11 with the drain pipe 23, and the disinfectant water in the water treatment cavity 11 can be sequentially discharged through the second pipeline 26, the third interface 253, the third valve port 273, and the drain pipe 23, and the disinfectant water can be used to sterilize and disinfect the second pipeline 26.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first multi-channel valve 25 also has a fifth interface 255, the second multi-channel valve 27 also has a fourth valve port 274, and the liquid path structure 20 further includes a third pipeline 28, the third pipeline 28 is communicated with the fifth interface 255 and the fourth valve port 274, and the fifth interface 255 and the fourth valve port 274 are selectively communicated, so that after the disinfectant liquid and / or ozone is provided to the water treatment cavity 11, during the sterilization and disinfection of the softening resin in the water treatment cavity 11, the first valve port 271 can be communicated with the fourth valve port 274, and the first interface 251 can be communicated with the fifth interface 255, so that the water inlet pipe 21 and the water outlet pipe 22 can be communicated, and the water from the water source can be sequentially discharged through the water inlet pipe 21, the first valve port 271, the fourth valve port 274, the fifth interface 255, the first interface 251, and the water outlet pipe 22, so that the user can still use water normally during the sterilization and disinfection of the softening resin in the water treatment cavity 11.

[0043] In some embodiments, the liquid path structure 20 further includes a bypass pipeline 291, the bypass pipeline 291 is connected with the water inlet pipe 21 and the water outlet pipe 22, and the water inlet pipe 21 is selectively communicated with the water outlet pipe 22 through the bypass pipeline 291. It can be understood that when the resin tank 10 needs to be used, the user can communicate the water outlet pipe 22 with the water inlet pipe 21 through the bypass pipeline 291, so that the water provided by the water source can be sequentially discharged through the water inlet pipe 21, the bypass pipeline 291, and the water outlet pipe 22, so that the user can more quickly obtain water from the water outlet pipe 22.

[0044] Specifically, the bypass pipeline 291 comprises a bypass pipe 291a and a bypass valve 291b, the water inlet pipe 21 is selectively communicated with the water outlet pipe 22 through the bypass pipe 291a, and the bypass valve 291b is arranged on the bypass pipe 291a and used for controlling the opening and closing of the bypass pipe 291a to realize the opening and closing of the water inlet pipe 21 and the water outlet pipe 22.

[0046] Further, the flow meter 292 is located upstream of the connection node of the bypass pipeline 291 and the water outlet pipe 22, so that the flow meter 292 can detect the flow of softened water passing through the water outlet pipe 22, so that the user can know the used amount of softened water in the water treatment cavity 11, and can determine the remaining amount of softened water in the water treatment cavity 11 according to the used amount of softened water.
