Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment technology, specifically to a dual-tank non-electric water softening device. Background Technology

[0002] The dual-tank non-electric water softening device is a highly efficient water treatment equipment, mainly used to remove hardness ions such as calcium and magnesium from water, prevent scale formation, and protect water-related equipment such as pipes, water heaters, and boilers from scale and corrosion damage.

[0003] The dual-tank, non-electric water softening device consists of two resin tanks, a control valve, a brine tank, and connecting pipelines. Its working principle is based on ion exchange and regeneration cycles: when raw water enters the first resin tank, the sodium-type cation exchange resin inside adsorbs calcium and magnesium ions in the water, releasing sodium ions to achieve softening; when the resin is saturated, the system automatically switches to the second resin tank to continue working, while simultaneously initiating the regeneration program in the first tank. The regeneration process includes four stages: backwashing, brine absorption, slow rinsing, and forward rinsing, taking approximately 15 minutes in total. It is controlled by a hydraulic or mechanical timer and requires no external power supply.

[0004] However, in actual use, most of the existing devices have a single internal liquid flow path, which easily leads to the accumulation of resin particles and liquid stagnation in local areas, resulting in significant differences in softening effect at different locations and making it impossible to achieve uniform softening. In view of this, we propose a dual-tank non-electric softening device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dual-tank, non-electric softening device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0016] Preferably, the spring and support rod are disposed inside the circular groove, and the arc-shaped plate and sphere are attached to the inner wall of the softening tank.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a dual-tank non-electric softening device, which has the following features:

[0018] Beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. This dual-tank, non-electric softening device, in order to further improve the softening effect, is equipped with a stirring component. This component works in conjunction with a knob on a rotating disc to drive a circular rod and multiple inclined plates to rotate. The inclined plates stir the resin particles inside the softening tank, while a scraper adheres to the bottom of the filter plate. The circular rod synchronously drives the scraper to rotate, thereby preventing the filter plate from clogging and ensuring that resin particles do not flow out of the softening tank. At the same time, a spiral turbine located at the mouth of the softening tank stirs and disperses the liquid at the mouth when it rotates, increasing the liquid flow and preventing blockage, thereby further improving the softening effect.

[0020] 2. This dual-tank, non-electric softening device incorporates an auxiliary component to extend its service life. This component, along with multiple sets of thick rods fixed to a round rod, has springs and support rods located within a circular groove. When the round rod is subjected to external force or rotation, the springs provide cushioning, reducing vibration and wear. The arc-shaped plate and spheres conform to the inner wall of the softening tank, not only supporting the round rod and making it more stable during rotation, but also adapting to the shape of the softening tank's inner wall, ensuring the overall stability of the device. This helps the stirring component function better and extends the device's service life. Attached Figure Description

It is primarily used to better describe this application and its embodiments, and is not intended to limit the indicated device, element, or component to having a specific orientation, or to construct and operate in a specific orientation. Furthermore, the term "above" may also be used in certain circumstances to indicate a dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0031] A dual-tank non-electric softening device includes a softening tank 1, a connecting valve 2 snapped onto the top of the softening tank 1, a connecting pipe 3 fixedly installed on one end of the connecting valve 2, and a bypass valve 4 fixedly installed on the other end of the connecting pipe 3.

[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, a stirring assembly 5 is provided on the softening tank 1. The stirring assembly 5 includes a circular plate 51. The circular plate 51 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the softening tank 1. A knob 52 is fixedly mounted on the circular plate 51. A sealing ring 53 is fixedly mounted on the circular plate 51. One end of a conical block 54 is fixedly mounted on the circular plate 51. One end of a round rod 55 is fixedly mounted on the other end of the conical block 54. A filter plate 56 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the softening tank 1. One end of an installation rod 57 is fixedly mounted on the round rod 55. An inclined plate 58 is fixedly mounted on the other end of the installation rod 57. A filter hole 59 is opened on the inclined plate 58. A scraper 510 is fixedly mounted on the inclined plate 58. The other end of the round rod 55... A thin rod 511 is fixedly installed at one end, a spiral turbine 512 is fixedly installed on the thin rod 511, and a square rod 513 is fixedly installed on the thin rod 511. Multiple sets of mounting rods 57, inclined plates 58, filter holes 59, and scrapers 510 are provided. A knob 52 is located outside the softening tank 1. A sealing ring 53, a conical block 54, a round rod 55, a filter plate 56, mounting rods 57, inclined plates 58, filter holes 59, scrapers 510, thin rods 511, spiral turbines 512, and square rods 513 are located inside the softening tank 1. The spiral turbine 512 is located at the mouth of the softening tank 1. The scraper 510 is attached to the bottom of the filter plate 56, and the square rod 513 is located above the filter plate 56.

[0033] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to soften the liquid in the softening tank 1 and improve the softening effect, the operator rotates the knob 52 on the circular plate 51. This rotation causes the circular plate 51 to rotate at the bottom of the softening tank 1. The sealing ring 53 fixed on the circular plate 51 prevents liquid leakage from the gap between the circular plate 51 and the bottom of the softening tank 1. When the circular plate 51 rotates, it drives the circular rod 55 to rotate via the conical block 54. Simultaneously, the inclined plate 58 rotates accordingly. During this rotation, the inclined plate 58 stirs the resin particles inside the softening tank 1, ensuring full contact between the resin particles and the liquid, accelerating the ion exchange reaction, and thus improving the softening effect. Simultaneously with the rotation of the circular rod 55, the scraper 510 fixed to it also rotates synchronously. The scraper 510 adheres to the bottom of the filter plate 56, and during rotation, it can... Timely cleaning of impurities and resin particles adhering to filter plate 56 prevents clogging and ensures smooth liquid flow. Simultaneously, it prevents resin particles from flowing out of softening tank 1, maintaining the stability of the softening process. The spiral turbine 512, located at the mouth of softening tank 1, is also fixed to the thin rod 511 and rotates with the round rod 55. During rotation, the spiral turbine 512 agitates and disperses the liquid at the mouth, increasing the flow rate and mixing degree, preventing liquid accumulation and sedimentation at the mouth, and avoiding blockage. This further improves the softening effect and flow efficiency. Furthermore, the square rod 513 on the thin rod 511, positioned above filter plate 56, assists in propelling the liquid flow during rotation, promoting full contact between the liquid and resin particles.

[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, an auxiliary component 6 is provided on the round rod 55. The auxiliary component 6 includes a thick rod 61. The thick rod 61 is fixedly installed on the round rod 55. An arc-shaped plate 62 is fixedly installed on the thick rod 61. A circular groove 63 is opened on the thick rod 61. One end of a spring 64 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the thick rod 61. One end of a support rod 65 is fixedly installed on the other end of the spring 64. A ball 66 is rotatably installed on the other end of the support rod 65. Multiple sets of thick rod 61, arc-shaped plate 62, circular groove 63, spring 64, support rod 65 and ball 66 are provided. The spring 64 and support rod 65 are located inside the circular groove 63. The arc-shaped plate 62 and ball 66 are attached to the inner wall of the softening tank 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, during the operation of the stirring assembly 5, when the round rod 55 is affected by the external force generated by the liquid flow, the spring 64 can undergo elastic deformation to provide buffering force. The buffering effect of the spring 64 can effectively reduce the vibration of the round rod 55, reduce the wear caused by vibration between the components, and protect the internal structure of the device. The arc plate 62 fixed on the thick rod 61 and the ball 66 rotatably installed on the other end of the support rod 65 are attached to the inner wall of the softening tank 1. The contact design of the arc plate 62 and the ball 66 provides stable support for the round rod 55. During the rotation of the round rod 55, they can limit the shaking of the round rod 55 and keep the round rod 55 on a stable rotation trajectory. At the same time, the arc plate 62 and the ball 66 can adapt to the shape of the inner wall of the softening tank 1, and the overall stability of the device can be guaranteed no matter what state the round rod 55 is in when it rotates.

[0036] All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market. The specific connection methods of each part are all conventional methods such as riveting and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment are all conventional models in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0037] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
