Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sodium hypochlorite generating equipment, and in particular to a water treatment system for a sodium hypochlorite generator. Background Technology

[0002] The working principle of a sodium hypochlorite generator is to fully dissolve salt in softened water to prepare a saturated brine for later use. During production, the saturated brine is mixed with softened water and diluted to a concentration of approximately 2%-5% as an electrolyte. The sodium hypochlorite solution is generated through electrolysis and then separated from hydrogen gas before storage or direct addition. This process requires high-quality water, as the water quality directly affects the preparation of the saturated brine, the efficiency of the electrolysis reaction, and the quality of the sodium hypochlorite solution.

[0003] Currently, in the practical application of sodium hypochlorite generators, the quality of raw water often varies greatly, containing various impurities and hardness ions. If not effectively treated, this can lead to many problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem that existing technologies cannot effectively treat impurities in raw water, this invention provides a water treatment system for sodium hypochlorite generators.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a water treatment system for a sodium hypochlorite generator, including a filter, a water softener, and a pressure and flow stabilizing module, wherein the first outlet of the filter is connected to the inlet of the water softener through a first pipe; and the pressure and flow stabilizing module is installed on the first pipe.

[0006] Preferably, the pressure stabilizing and flow stabilizing module includes a pressure reducing valve, an expansion tank, and a pressure gauge, which are sequentially connected to the first pipeline.

[0007] Preferably, the inlet of the water softener is provided with a multi-way regulating valve, one channel of which is connected to the first pipe, and the other channel of which is connected to the backwash drain pipe of the water softener.

[0008] Preferably, the multi-way regulating valve is a solenoid valve.

[0009] Preferably, the water softener contains ion exchange resin.

[0010] Preferably, the second outlet of the filter is connected to a sewage pipe, and a first valve is installed on the sewage pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the inlet of the filter is connected to a second pipe, and the second pipe is connected to a thermostat.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are at least one of the following:

[0014] The filter can perform preliminary treatment on raw water, effectively removing various solid particles and other impurities from the raw water, and preventing impurities from entering subsequent equipment.

[0015] Water softeners can further remove hardness ions (such as calcium and magnesium ions) from water that has already been filtered. This effectively prevents scale buildup in the electrolytic cell of the sodium hypochlorite generator and other related equipment, extending the lifespan of the equipment and also helping to improve the efficiency of the electrolysis reaction.

[0023] Example

[0024] A water treatment system for sodium hypochlorite generators, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a filter 1, a water softener 2, and a pressure and flow stabilizing module 3. The first outlet of the filter 1 is connected to the inlet of the water softener 2 through a first pipe 4. The pressure and flow stabilizing module 3 is installed on the first pipe 4.

[0025] For reference, filter 1 can be a high-precision multi-media filter 1. Filter 1 is filled with various filter media such as quartz sand and activated carbon, which can effectively remove suspended particles, colloids, organic matter, residual chlorine and other impurities from the raw water. Quartz sand can intercept larger particles of impurities, while activated carbon has a good adsorption effect on organic matter and residual chlorine.

[0026] For reference, water softener 2 could be a sodium ion exchange resin water softener 2. Water softener 2 utilizes the ion exchange principle of sodium ion exchange resin to remove calcium and magnesium ions from the water, reducing water hardness. Water treated by filter 1 enters water softener 2, where the calcium and magnesium ions in the water exchange with the sodium ions on the resin, softening the water. When all the sodium ions on the resin have been exchanged by calcium and magnesium ions, the resin loses its softening ability, requiring regeneration. During regeneration, concentrated brine is injected into water softener 2. The sodium ions in the brine displace the calcium and magnesium ions on the resin, restoring its softening ability.

[0027] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the pressure stabilizing and flow stabilizing module 3 includes a pressure reducing valve 301, an expansion tank 302, and a pressure gauge 303, which are sequentially connected to the first pipeline 4.

[0028] The pressure reducing valve 301 can adjust the water pressure in the pipeline according to system requirements, reducing the high inlet pressure and stabilizing it at a suitable level. The expansion tank 302 can buffer short-term pressure fluctuations caused by valve opening and closing or water pressure changes, reducing the impact of water hammer on pipelines and equipment. The pressure gauge 303 monitors the pressure in the pipeline in real time.

[0029] For reference, when the water pressure in the pipeline increases, water enters the expansion tank 302 and compresses the gas inside the bladder, reducing its volume and absorbing excess pressure energy. When the water pressure in the pipeline decreases, the compressed gas inside the bladder expands, expelling water from the bladder into the expansion tank 302 and replenishing the pipeline, maintaining stable pressure. A pressure gauge 303 is installed on the first pipeline 4 after the expansion tank 302 to monitor the water flow pressure after passing through the pressure reducing valve 301 and the expansion tank 302 in real time. Operators can determine whether the system pressure is stable within the set range by observing the display value of the pressure gauge 303.

[0030] In the specific implementation process, the water, after preliminary treatment by filter 1, enters the first pipe 4 and first reaches the pressure reducing valve 301. The pressure reducing valve 301 adjusts the water pressure according to the set pressure value, reducing the high inlet pressure and stabilizing it at a suitable level, providing stable pressure conditions for subsequent treatment stages. The water, after being regulated by the pressure reducing valve 301, then enters the expansion tank 302. When the water pressure fluctuates slightly, the expansion tank 302 absorbs or releases pressure energy through the compression and expansion of its air bladder, further buffering the pressure fluctuations and making the water pressure more stable. The water treated by the expansion tank 302 flows through the pressure gauge 303, which displays the pressure value in the pipe in real time. The operator observes the display of the pressure gauge 303 to determine whether the system pressure is normal. The water, after pressure and flow stabilization treatment, enters the water softener 2 with a stable pressure and flow rate for subsequent softening treatment.

[0031] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the inlet of the water softener 2 is equipped with a multi-way regulating valve 5. One channel of the multi-way regulating valve 5 is connected to the first pipe 4, and the other channel of the multi-way regulating valve 5 is connected to the backwash drain pipe 6 of the water softener 2.

[0032] For reference, the multi-way regulating valve 5 is a solenoid valve. In a specific application, when backwashing of the water softener 2 is required, the multi-way regulating valve 5 is controlled to allow water to flow through the backwash drain pipe 6 to backwash the resin inside the water softener 2, remove impurities from the resin surface, and the backwash wastewater is discharged through the backwash drain pipe 6.

[0033] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the second outlet of the filter 1 is connected to a sewage pipe 7, and a first valve 8 is installed on the sewage pipe 7.

[0034] For reference, the first valve 8 can also be a solenoid valve. When the filter 1 needs to be drained, the first valve 8 on the drain pipe 7 is opened to discharge the impurities intercepted in the filter 1. After the draining is completed, the first valve 8 is closed.

[0035] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the inlet of the filter 1 is connected to a second pipe 9, and the second pipe 9 is connected to a thermostat 10. The inlet of the thermostat 10 is connected to the second pipe 9 via a third pipe 11, and the outlet of the thermostat 10 is connected to the second pipe 9 via a fourth pipe 12. A second valve 13 is installed on the third pipe 11, a third valve 14 is installed on the fourth pipe 12, and a fourth valve 15 is installed on the second pipe 9. The fourth valve 15 is located between the third pipe 11 and the fourth pipe 12.

[0036] For reference, valves 13, 14, and 15 are ball valves. In actual implementation, when the raw water temperature is too high or too low and does not meet the operating requirements of the sodium hypochlorite generator, valve 15 is closed, and valves 13 and 14 are opened. Raw water enters the thermostat 10 from the second pipe 9 through the third pipe 11, where its temperature is adjusted to a suitable range. The adjusted water then returns to the second pipe 9 through the fourth pipe 12 and flows into the filter 1. The subsequent process is the same as the ambient temperature inlet water process.

[0037] In summary, this embodiment can flexibly adjust the inlet water temperature according to the raw water temperature, while effectively removing impurities, reducing water hardness, and stabilizing water pressure and flow rate, thus ensuring the stable operation of the sodium hypochlorite generator and the production of high-quality sodium hypochlorite solution.

[0038] The embodiments described above merely illustrate specific implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
