[0028] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0029] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown:

[0030] This utility model provides a fully automatic water softening device for online water quality monitoring, including a treatment tank 1, a multi-layer filter media assembly 2, a water distribution assembly 4, a rotating mechanism 5, and a cleaning assembly 6. The top of the treatment tank 1 is connected to an inlet pipe 101, and the bottom is connected to an outlet pipe 102. A valve 1021 is provided in the middle of the outlet pipe 102. The multi-layer filter media assembly 2 is arranged vertically in layers inside the treatment tank 1. The multi-layer filter media assembly 2 includes a resin layer 201, a quartz sand layer 202, and an activated carbon layer 203 distributed from top to bottom. The inner top wall of the treatment tank 1 is rotatably connected to a connecting pipe 3 that communicates with the inlet pipe 101 through a bearing. The bottom end of the connecting pipe 3 is provided with a water distribution assembly 4 located above the multi-layer filter media assembly 2. The water distribution assembly 4 is provided with a rotating mechanism 5. Multiple sets of cleaning assemblies 6 are provided, respectively located above the resin layer 201, the quartz sand layer 202, and the activated carbon layer 203.

[0031] It should be further noted that a water quality monitoring sensor is also installed inside the treatment box 1, located below the multi-layer filter media assembly 2. The water quality monitoring sensor is wirelessly connected to an external terminal.

[0032] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The water distribution assembly 4 includes a water distributor 401, a water distribution pipe 402, and a water guide frame 403. The water distributor 401 is configured as a circular box structure. Multiple sets of water distribution pipes 402 are radially connected to the outer circumference of the water distributor 401. The ends of the multiple sets of water distribution pipes 402 are rotatably connected to the water guide frame 403 through a rotating shaft.

[0033] Specifically, the round box-shaped water distributor 401 serves as the central hub for water distribution, evenly distributing the incoming water to each radial water distribution pipe 402. The water distribution pipe 402 is connected to the water guide frame 403 via a rotating shaft, which can be freely adjusted in angle. When the water flow impacts the water guide frame 403, it forms a multi-directional scattering water flow, ensuring that the entire surface of the filter media is covered and avoiding dead zones in water distribution.

[0034] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The water distribution assembly 4 also includes an electric actuator 404, a connecting ring 405, an L-shaped support rod 406, a toothed rack 4061, and a first gear 407. The bottom of the water distributor 401 is equipped with an electric actuator 404. The output end of the electric actuator 404 is connected to the connecting ring 405. The outer wall of the connecting ring 405 is circumferentially and equidistantly connected with multiple sets of L-shaped support rods 406. The vertical sections of the multiple sets of L-shaped support rods 406 are all provided with toothed racks 4061. The multiple sets of toothed racks 4061 are respectively meshed with the first gear 407. The multiple sets of first gears 407 are respectively installed on the corresponding rotating shafts.

[0035] Specifically, the electric actuator 404 extends and retracts, causing the connecting ring 405 to move up and down. The L-shaped support rod 406 drives the gear 4061 to make linear motion. The gear 4061 meshes with the first gear 407 to transmit the linear motion, which is converted into the rotational motion of the shaft. This allows for precise control of the angle of the water guide frame 403, adapting to the water distribution requirements under different flow conditions.

[0036] refer to Figure 5 The water guide frame 403 has an integrally formed water guide groove 4031 in the middle, and the inner wall of the water guide groove 4031 is provided with multiple sets of water guide ribs 4032.

[0037] Specifically, after the water flows into the water guide channel 4031, it is guided by the water guide ribs 4032 to generate a turbulent effect, which causes the water flow velocity to decrease uniformly from the inside to the outside, forming a stable laminar flow distribution and improving the contact efficiency with the filter media.

[0038] refer to Figure 5 The water guide frame 403 is configured as an arc-shaped frame structure, with the concave surface of the water guide frame 403 facing the direction of water flow.

[0039] Specifically, the arc-shaped frame structure conforms to fluid dynamics characteristics, and the concave surface facing the water flow can reduce flow resistance.

[0040] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The rotating mechanism 5 includes a motor 501, a second gear 502, and a gear disc 503. The motor 501 is installed on the top of the treatment tank 1 on one side of the inlet pipe 101. The output end of the motor 501 passes through the treatment tank 1 and is connected to the second gear 502. The gear disc 503 is meshed on one side of the second gear 502 and is installed in the middle of the outer side of the connecting pipe 3.

[0041] Specifically, the motor 501 transmits power to the connecting pipe 3 through the meshing of the second gear 502 and the gear disc 503, causing the connecting pipe 3 to drive the water distributor 401 to rotate and distribute water.

[0042] refer to Figure 1 The front of the processing box 1 has a groove 103, and a viewing glass 1031 is embedded in the groove 103.

[0043] Specifically, operators can monitor the working status of each filter layer in real time through groove 103.

[0044] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6The cleaning component 6 includes a wire brush 601, a magnetic block 602, a magnet 603, and a handle 604. Guide shafts 7 are provided on both sides inside the processing box 1. The wire brush 601 is slidably connected between the two sets of guide shafts 7. A magnetic block 602 is embedded at one end of the wire brush 601. A limit rod 8 is horizontally provided inside the groove 103. A magnet 603 at the same horizontal height as the magnetic block 602 is slidably connected to the limit rod 8. A handle 604 is provided on the outside of the magnet 603.

[0045] Specifically, by moving the handle 604, the magnet 603 slides along the limiting rod 8, and the wire brush 601 reciprocates on the guide shaft 7 through magnetic attraction. During the movement, the wire brush 601 can clean the deposits on the surface of the filter material and maintain the permeability of the filter layer.

[0046] Working principle: During use, raw water enters the treatment tank 1 through the inlet pipe 101, first flowing through the rotating connecting pipe 3 to the water distribution assembly 4. The circular box-shaped water distributor 401 evenly distributes the water flow to each radial water distribution pipe 402. The water then passes through the adjustable-angle water guide frame 403, forming a multi-directional scattered water flow that evenly covers the entire filter media layer. The water flows through the resin layer 201, the quartz sand layer 202, and the activated carbon layer 203 for multi-stage filtration and softening. The treated soft water is discharged from the outlet pipe 102. Simultaneously, the motor... 501 drives the water distribution assembly 4 to rotate through the meshing transmission of the second gear 502 and the gear disc 503. The electric push rod 404 automatically adjusts the angle of the water guide frame 403 according to the flow rate change to optimize the water distribution effect. When cleaning is required, the operator drives the magnet 603 to move through the handle 604, which drives the wire brush 601 to reciprocate on the surface of the filter media to remove deposits and maintain the permeability of the filter layer. The internal operating status of the device can be observed through the viewing glass 1031 throughout the process, achieving high-efficiency softened water treatment.

Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the utility model. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this utility model, which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
