Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of water treatment equipment technology, specifically to a water circuit system for a mineral water purifier and a mineral water purifier. Background Technology

[0002] With increased productivity, people's demands for quality of life and convenience are also rising. Mineralized water, containing mineral salts and rich in essential macro- and micro-elements, is favored as drinking water. Furthermore, there is a demand for mineralized water containing specific mineral salts during production and experimentation. Zinc-mineralized water, in particular, is crucial, as zinc is the second most abundant trace element in the human body after iron, playing a vital role. It is present in over 200 enzymes, participating in the synthesis of nucleic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates, as well as the absorption and utilization of vitamin A. Zinc is indispensable for cell replication, immune activity, tissue repair, and growth, and is a key element in growth and development, reproductive heredity, the immune system, and bone metabolism. Zinc-mineralized water is a direct and efficient way to supplement zinc, as the zinc in it exists in ionic form, making it more easily absorbed by the body.

[0003] Currently, there are two common methods for preparing zinc mineral water. The first method involves artificially mixing zinc mineral salts with water to create zinc mineral water of appropriate concentration. However, this method is cumbersome, requires a certain level of chemical knowledge, and is inefficient. The second method involves adding ore containing zinc mineral salts to a container filled with water—such as a water dispenser or water purifier. The zinc mineral salts in the ore dissolve into the water in the container, transforming it into zinc mineral water. However, it is difficult to effectively control the zinc content in zinc mineral water prepared using this method. When the zinc content exceeds the standard, the zinc mineral water may actually have adverse effects. Utility Model Content

The mineralization water circuit includes a first mineralization water circuit and a second mineralization water circuit, which are connected in parallel. The zinc-containing filter material is disposed in the first mineralization water circuit, and the alkaline filter material is disposed in the second mineralization water circuit. One end of the diversion water circuit is connected to the first mineralization water circuit and is located upstream of the zinc-containing filter material in the preset water flow direction. The other end of the diversion water circuit is connected to the second mineralization water circuit and is located downstream of the alkaline filter material in the preset water flow direction. The second control valve is connected to one end of the diversion water circuit and the first mineralization water circuit; or, the second control valve is connected to one end of the diversion water circuit and the second mineralization water circuit.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0027] With increased productivity, people's demands for quality of life and convenience are also rising. Mineralized water, containing mineral salts and rich in essential macro- and micro-elements, is favored as drinking water. Furthermore, there is a demand for mineralized water containing specific mineral salts during production and experimentation. Zinc-mineralized water, in particular, is crucial, as zinc is the second most abundant trace element in the human body after iron, playing a vital role. It is present in over 200 enzymes, participating in the synthesis of nucleic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates, as well as the absorption and utilization of vitamin A.

Zinc-mineralized water is a direct and efficient way to supplement zinc, as the zinc in it exists in ionic form, making it more easily absorbed by the body.

[0028] Currently, there are two common methods for preparing zinc mineral water. The first method involves artificially mixing zinc mineral salts with water to create zinc mineral water of appropriate concentration. However, this method is cumbersome, requires a certain level of chemical knowledge, and is inefficient. The second method involves adding ore containing zinc mineral salts to a container filled with water—such as a water dispenser or water purifier. The zinc mineral salts in the ore dissolve into the water in the container, transforming it into zinc mineral water. However, it is difficult to effectively control the zinc content in zinc mineral water prepared using this method. When the zinc content exceeds the standard, the zinc mineral water may actually have adverse effects.

[0029] In order to improve or solve the above technical problems, the inventors of this application, after long-term research, have proposed at least the following embodiments.

[0030] See Figures 1-2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the water circuit structure of an embodiment of the water circuit system for a mineral water purifier provided in this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the water circuit structure of another embodiment of the water circuit system for a mineral water purifier provided in this application. Specific embodiments of this application provide a water circuit system for a mineral water purifier, including a zinc-containing filter material 1, an alkaline filter material 2, and a mineralization water circuit 4. The zinc-containing filter material 1 and the alkaline filter material 2 are disposed in the mineralization water circuit 4, and the water in the alkaline filter material 2 can selectively flow to the zinc-containing filter material 1.

[0031] When the water in alkaline filter media 2 cannot flow to zinc-containing filter media 1, zinc-containing filter media 1 is connected in series upstream of alkaline filter media 2. Alternatively, when the water in alkaline filter media 2 cannot flow to zinc-containing filter media 1, zinc-containing filter media 1 and alkaline filter media 2 are connected in parallel.

[0032] In the structure provided in this specific embodiment, by placing the alkaline filter media 2 and the zinc-containing filter media 1 in the mineralization water channel 4, water from the alkaline filter media 2 can be selectively input into the zinc-containing filter media 1. When the zinc content in the effluent of the water system is too high, water containing alkaline substances from the alkaline filter media 2 can be input into the zinc-containing filter media 1. This utilizes the alkaline substances to inhibit the dissolution of zinc from the zinc-containing filter media 1 into the water, thereby increasing the zinc content in the effluent of the water system. When it is not necessary to increase the zinc content in the effluent of the water system, the zinc-containing filter media 1 can be connected in series upstream of the alkaline filter cartridge, or the zinc-containing filter media 1 and the alkaline filter media 2 can be connected in parallel to prevent them from affecting each other. This allows for control of the zinc content, reducing the probability of excessively high zinc content in the effluent of the water system and improving the stability of the water system used in the mineral water purifier.

[0033] Optionally, the alkaline filter and the second alkaline section may include at least one of the following materials: calcite, aragonite, magnesite, dolomite, etc. The zinc-containing filter and the first zinc-containing section may include at least one of the following materials: smithsonite, calamine, zinc brine, etc. The alkaline substances dissolved from the alkaline filter and the second alkaline section can inhibit the dissolution of zinc from the zinc-containing filter and the first zinc-containing section.

[0034] Specifically, the dissolution reaction of zinc (containing zinc-containing materials, such as smithsonite) in water is: ZnCO3 = Zn 2+ +CO3 2- Under normal conditions (e.g., pure water obtained after RO membrane filtration), Zn 2+ The saturated solubility of Zn in water can reach 6.0 mg / L, far exceeding the national standard limit of 1.0 mg / L. Furthermore, under constant water quality conditions, Zn... 2+ and CO3 2- It is dissolved simultaneously. Therefore, CO3 2-By controlling the concentration of Zn to the lowest possible level, 2+ The saturated dissolution concentration is controlled at the lowest level.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 It is H2CO3-HCO 3- -CO3 2- Equilibrium diagram in water. When the pH of the water is acidic, due to the presence of H+ in the system... + Excessive plasma inhibits the continued release of H2CO3 through hydrolysis. + As the pH value of the water gradually increases, the H in the system... + As plasma gradually decreases, the inhibitory effect on H2CO3 hydrolysis gradually decreases, and H... + As ions are gradually released through hydrolysis, H2CO3 in the water is first converted into HCO3-. 3- As the pH value of the water continues to rise, HCO3- 3- H in + Ions also continued to be released, HCO3- 3- Gradually converted into CO3 2- It is not difficult to see that CO3 2- Its content in water is clearly correlated with the pH value of the water.

[0036] When the pH value is (approximately) 8.3, CO3 2- The concentration of Zn is at its lowest level, at which point... 2+ The concentration of Zn in the soaking water was also at the lowest level, theoretically calculated to be 0.36 mg / L, which meets the standard limit. That is, by adjusting the pH of the water used to soak the zinc-containing filter to around 8.3, the Zn concentration can be reduced. 2+ The concentration is precisely controlled between 0.2-1.0 mg / L.

[0037] The following example illustrates the effect of different alkaline water pH values ​​on the zinc concentration in the soaking water. A modified smithsonite with a pore-forming agent ratio of 2% and a co-solvent ratio of 1.0% was selected. The instantaneous zinc concentration in the effluent after a 1000L flow and the zinc concentration in the soaking water after 12 hours of soaking were recorded, as shown in Table 1.

[0038] Table 1

[0039]

[0040] Referring to Table 1, when no alkaline substances are added, the pH of the soaking water is 6, which is weakly acidic. At this pH, zinc leaching from both the flowing water and the soaking water is not inhibited, resulting in a high zinc concentration in the soaking water, exceeding the standard limit. Even when the pH of the soaking water is 7.2, the zinc concentration still exceeds the standard. When the pH of the soaking water is between 8.0 and 8.5, CO3... 2The concentration of Zn is at its lowest level. 2+ The concentration of zinc in the soaking water was also at the minimum level, between 0.2 and 1.0 mg / L, which meets the standard. When the pH of the soaking water was 9.0, the alkalinity of the alkaline substance was relatively strong, and the zinc dissolution was excessively inhibited during overflow. The zinc concentration in both the overflow and soaking water was below 0.2 mg / L, which does not meet the standard.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in one specific embodiment, the zinc-containing filter material 1 and the alkaline filter material 2 are connected in series in the mineralization water channel 4. In a preset water flow direction, the zinc-containing filter material 1 is located upstream of the alkaline filter material 2. The water system for the mineral water purifier may also include a return water channel 5, one end of which is connected to the output end of the alkaline filter material 2, and the other end is connected to the input end of the zinc-containing filter material 1.

[0042] In the structure provided in this specific embodiment, the return water path 5 connects the output end of the alkaline filter media 2 and the input end of the zinc-containing filter media 1, thereby recirculating the water flowing out of the alkaline filter media 2. This allows the alkaline substances dissolved from the alkaline filter media 2 to flow into the zinc-containing filter media 1, thus using the alkaline substances to inhibit the dissolution of zinc. When the water flowing out of the alkaline filter media 2 does not recirculate through the return water path 5, the zinc-containing filter media 1 and the alkaline filter media 2 are connected in series, allowing both to dissolve normally into the water. At this time, their respective dissolution rates are not affected by each other, thus enabling control of the zinc content in the effluent of the water system and improving the usability and stability of the water system used in the mineral water purifier.

[0043] In one specific embodiment, the water system for the mineral water purifier further includes an outlet water path 7 and an inlet water path 3. The inlet water path 3, the mineralized water path 4, and the outlet water path 7 are connected sequentially in a preset water flow direction.

[0044] Optionally, one end of the return water path 5 is connected to the inlet water path 3 and the other end is connected to the outlet water path 7. The water system for the mineral water purifier also includes a first control valve 91, which connects the outlet water path 7 and the return water path 5, or the first control valve 91 connects the inlet water path 3 and the return water path 5.

[0045] Optionally, the water system for the mineral water purifier may further include a first flow valve and a second flow valve. The first flow valve connects the outlet water path 7 to the return water path 5, and the second flow valve connects the outlet water path 7 and the mineralization water path 4.

[0046] Optionally, the water system for the mineral water purifier also includes a third flow valve and a fourth flow valve, wherein the third flow valve is connected to the inlet water line 3 and the return water line 5, and the fourth flow valve is connected to the inlet water line 3 and the mineralization water line 4.

[0047] In the structure provided in this specific embodiment, the water volume of the mineralized water circuit 4 can be controlled by the first control valve 91, the first flow valve in combination with the second flow valve, and the third flow valve in combination with the fourth flow valve. This allows control over the amount of alkaline substance used to inhibit zinc leaching, thereby controlling the degree of inhibition of zinc leaching. This indirectly controls the zinc content in the water outlet of the water circuit system. By controlling different valves, the zinc content in the water outlet can be flexibly adjusted, improving the usability and stability of the water circuit system used in the mineral water purifier.

[0048] In one specific embodiment, the water system for the mineral water purifier further includes a first pump body 95, which is connected to the mineralized water channel 4 and is used to pump the water flowing through the alkaline filter material 2 to the zinc-containing filter material 1.

[0049] In the structure provided in this specific embodiment, the first pump body 95 can provide power to the water in the mineralization water path 4 and the return water path 5, thereby inhibiting the water from entering the return water path 5 from the mineralization water path 4, so that it can carry the alkaline substances dissolved from the alkaline filter material 2 into the zinc-containing filter material 1, thereby using alkaline substances to inhibit the dissolution of zinc elements, which can improve the availability and stability of the water system used in the mineral water purifier.

[0050] In one specific embodiment, the first pump body 95 is disposed in the return water path 5, or the first pump body 95 is disposed in the mineralization water path 4 between the zinc-containing filter material 1 and the alkaline filter material 2.

[0051] Specifically, when the return water path 5 is connected to the mineralized water body, the first pump 95 installed in the return water path 5 can "absorb" water, thereby causing water to flow from the mineralized water path 4 into the return water path 5; conversely, the first pump 95 installed in the mineralized water path 4 can "drain" water, thereby causing water to flow from the mineralized water path 4 into the return water path 5. Both installation positions allow the alkaline substances carried by the alkaline filter media 2 to flow into the zinc-containing filter media 1, thereby using the alkaline substances to inhibit the leaching of zinc and improving the usability and stability of the water system used in the mineral water purifier.

[0052] Optionally, the pumping direction of the first pump body 95 can also be opposite to the preset water flow direction. Even if the return water flow does not meet the mineralization water path 4, the first pump body 95 can still transport the water in the alkaline filter media 2 back to the zinc-containing filter media 1 through the mineralization water path 4 in a direction opposite to the preset water flow direction, thereby achieving the purpose of allowing the alkaline substances dissolved from the alkaline filter media 2 to flow into the zinc-containing filter media 1. After completing the suppression work, the pumping direction of the first pump body 95 can be adjusted to be the same as the preset water flow direction, thereby transporting this part of the water to the outlet water path 7 through the mineralization water path 4.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, in one specific embodiment, the water system for the mineral water purifier may further include a water diversion channel 6. One end of the water diversion channel 6 is connected to the input end of the zinc-containing filter material 1, and the other end of the water diversion channel 6 is connected to the output end of the alkaline filter material 2.

[0054] In the structure provided in this specific embodiment, when the zinc-containing filter material 1 and the alkaline filter material 2 are connected in parallel in the mineralization water circuit 4, the input end of the zinc-containing filter material 1 and the output end of the alkaline filter material 2 can be connected by the diversion water circuit 6. This allows the water flowing out of the alkaline filter material 2 to carry the dissolved alkaline substances into the zinc-containing filter material 1, thereby using the alkaline substances to inhibit the dissolution of zinc. When the water flowing out of the alkaline filter material 2 does not pass through the diversion water circuit 6, the zinc-containing filter material 1 and the alkaline filter material 2 are connected in parallel, and both can dissolve normally into the water. At this time, their respective dissolution rates are not affected by each other, thus the zinc content of the water outlet of the water circuit system can be controlled, improving the availability and stability of the water circuit system used in the mineral water purifier.

[0055] In one specific embodiment, the water system for the mineral water purifier further includes a second control valve 92. The mineralization water path 4 includes a first mineralization water path 41 and a second mineralization water path 42, which are connected in parallel. A zinc-containing filter material 1 is disposed in the first mineralization water path 41, and an alkaline filter material 2 is disposed in the second mineralization water path 42. One end of the diversion water path 6 is connected to the first mineralization water path 41 and is located upstream of the zinc-containing filter material 1 in a preset water flow direction. The other end of the diversion water path 6 is connected to the second mineralization water path 42 and is located downstream of the alkaline filter material 2 in a preset water flow direction.

[0056] The second control valve 92 is connected to one end of the diversion water passage 6 and the first mineralization water passage 41. Alternatively, the second control valve 92 is connected to one end of the diversion water passage 6 and the second mineralization water passage 42.

[0057] In the structure provided in this specific embodiment, the second control valve 92 can control the water volume input to the second mineralized water path 42 and the first mineralized water path 41, thereby controlling the amount of alkaline substance used to inhibit zinc leaching, thus controlling the degree of inhibition of zinc leaching. This can indirectly control the zinc content of the water outlet of the water system. By controlling the second control valve 92, the zinc content of the water outlet can be flexibly adjusted, which can improve the availability and stability of the water system used in the mineral water purifier.

[0058] In one specific embodiment, the water system for the mineral water purifier further includes a third control valve 93, an outlet water path 7, and an inlet water path 3. The inlet water path 3, the mineralized water path 4, and the outlet water path 7 are connected sequentially in a preset water flow direction.

[0059] The third control valve 93 is connected to the inlet water line 3, the first mineralized water line 41, and the second mineralized water line 42. Alternatively, the third control valve 93 is connected to the outlet water line 7, the first mineralized water line 41, and the second mineralized water line 42.

[0060] In the structure provided in this specific embodiment, the third control valve 93 can be used to control the amount of water input from the inlet water path 3 to the first mineralized water path 41 and the second mineralized water path 42 connected in parallel. This allows for the control of the pH value and zinc content of the water input from the mineralized water path 4 to the outlet water path 7, achieving the effect of flexibly adjusting the zinc content of the outlet water. This improves the availability and stability of the water system used in the mineral water purifier.

[0061] In one specific embodiment, the water system for the mineral water purifier further includes a wastewater valve 94 and a wastewater path 8. One end of the wastewater path 8 is provided with a wastewater outlet, and the other end of the wastewater path 8 is connected to the zinc-containing filter material 1. The wastewater valve 94 is connected in the wastewater path 8.

[0062] In the structure provided in this specific embodiment, by setting a wastewater path 8 and a wastewater valve 94 in the zinc-containing filter material 1, the water in the zinc-containing filter material 1 can be discharged. When the water quality in the zinc-containing filter material 1 does not meet the requirements, or when the water system needs to be shut down, discharging this portion of water can prevent water with excessive zinc content from being output through the outlet path 7 and causing adverse effects. It also reduces the probability of microbial growth in the zinc-containing filter material 1 leading to water system contamination, thereby improving the usability and safety of the water system used in the mineral water purifier.

[0063] Optionally, a water quality detection device 96 may also be installed in the water inlet 3 and / or outlet 7 to detect the water quality of the water entering and / or exiting the water system, thereby monitoring the operation of the water system in real time. In particular, the water quality detection device 96 installed in the outlet 7 can monitor the service life of the alkaline filter media 2 and zinc-containing filter media 1 in the mineralization water channel 4 based on the quality of the effluent, which is beneficial for users to replace the alkaline filter media 2 and zinc-containing filter media 1 when their service life is exhausted.

[0064] Optionally, a flow detection device 97 can also be installed in the water system. The flow detection device 97 can be installed in the inlet water channel 3 and / or the outlet water channel 7 to monitor the amount of water flowing through the water system. It can monitor the service life of the alkaline filter media 2 and the zinc-containing filter media 1 in the mineralized water channel 4 according to the amount of water flowing through, which is conducive to the user replacing the alkaline filter media 2 and the zinc-containing filter media 1 when their service life is exhausted.

[0065] This application also provides a mineral water purifier, including a water outlet component and a water circuit system for the mineral water purifier as described in any of the above embodiments. The water outlet component is used to dissipate water to the outside environment and is connected to the water outlet path 7 of the water circuit system of the mineral water purifier.

[0066] In the structure provided in this specific embodiment, by placing the alkaline filter media 2 and the zinc-containing filter media 1 in the mineralization water channel 4, water from the alkaline filter media 2 can be selectively input into the zinc-containing filter media 1. When the zinc content in the effluent of the water system is too high, water containing alkaline substances from the alkaline filter media 2 can be input into the zinc-containing filter media 1. This utilizes the alkaline substances to inhibit the dissolution of zinc from the zinc-containing filter media 1 into the water, thereby increasing the zinc content in the effluent of the water system. When it is not necessary to increase the zinc content in the effluent of the water system, the zinc-containing filter media 1 can be connected in series upstream of the alkaline filter cartridge, or the zinc-containing filter media 1 and the alkaline filter media 2 can be connected in parallel to prevent them from affecting each other. This allows for control of the zinc content, reducing the probability of excessively high zinc content in the effluent of the water system and improving the stability of the mineral water purifier.
