[0002] Currently, some water treatment systems typically use filter cartridges to purify municipal tap water. The filter cartridges in these cartridges can trap impurities and harmful substances such as bacteria, thus purifying the water. To enable the water treatment system to output hot water, a heating device is usually installed in the water circuit. However, heating the water from room temperature to the required temperature often requires significant energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides a water treatment system designed to address the problem of high energy consumption in current water treatment systems that use heating equipment to produce hot water.

[0004] The water treatment system provided by this utility model includes a refrigeration system and a heating system. The refrigeration system includes a refrigeration chamber and a refrigeration component. The refrigeration component has a cold end and a hot end.

The heat exchange pipeline flows through the hot end and is heat-conductingly connected to the hot end.

[0005] In one embodiment, the heating system further includes a heating chamber, and the heat exchange pipeline has an inlet end and an outlet end, both of which are connected to the heating chamber.

[0006] In one embodiment, a pump body is provided on the heat exchange pipeline to accelerate the circulation of water in the heat exchange pipeline and the heating chamber; and / or, a first stop valve is provided on the heat exchange pipeline.

[0007] In one embodiment, the heating system further includes a temperature sensor and a controller. The temperature sensor is thermally connected to the heat exchange pipeline, and the controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the first stop valve. The controller controls the opening and closing of the pump body and / or the first stop valve based on the temperature fed back by the temperature sensor.

[0008] In one embodiment, the heating system further includes a heating element, a temperature sensor, and a controller. The heating element is thermally connected to the heating cavity, the temperature sensor is thermally connected to the heating cavity, and the controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the heating element. The controller controls the heating element to turn on and off based on the temperature fed back by the temperature sensor.

[0009] In one embodiment, the heating system further includes a hot water drain pipe, the inlet of which is connected to the heating chamber.

[0010] In one embodiment, the refrigeration system further includes a cold water discharge pipe connected to the refrigeration chamber, and the cold water discharge pipe is connected to the heat exchange pipeline.

[0011] In one embodiment, the cold water discharge pipe is connected to the heat exchange pipeline via a first water supply pipe, and a second stop valve is provided on the first water supply pipe; the water treatment system further includes a temperature sensor and a controller, the temperature sensor is thermally connected to the heat exchange pipeline, the controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the second stop valve, and the controller controls the opening and closing of the second stop valve according to the temperature fed back by the temperature sensor.

[0014] This technical solution connects the heat exchange pipes of the heating system to the hot end of the refrigeration system, allowing for heat conduction between the pipes and the hot end. This utilizes the heat released at the hot end to heat the water. With this heating method, when the heat at the hot end is high, the hot water temperature obtained through the heat exchange pipes is sufficiently high, eliminating the need for additional energy consumption in the water treatment system to produce hot water. Even when the heat at the hot end is relatively low, the water temperature inside the pipes will be higher than that of ordinary room temperature water because the heat exchange pipes have already absorbed some heat. This reduces reliance on traditional energy sources and lowers energy consumption while maintaining the same target temperature. Furthermore, this technical solution can recover and reuse heat that might otherwise be wasted at the hot end, further reducing the energy consumption required to produce hot water and achieving high energy efficiency.

[0023] Currently, some water treatment systems typically use filter cartridges to purify municipal tap water. The filter cartridges in these cartridges can trap impurities and harmful substances such as bacteria, thus purifying the water. To enable the water treatment system to output hot water, a heating device is usually installed in the water circuit. However, heating the water from room temperature to the required temperature often requires significant energy consumption.

[0024] To solve this technical problem, the utility model provides a water treatment system.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the water treatment system provided by this utility model includes a refrigeration system and a heating system. The refrigeration system includes a refrigeration chamber 11 and a refrigeration component 12. The refrigeration component 12 has a cold end 121 and a hot end 122. The cold end 121 is heat-conductingly connected to the refrigeration chamber 11, and the hot end 122 is located outside the refrigeration chamber 11. The heating system includes a heat exchange pipe 21. The heat exchange pipe 21 flows through the hot end 122 and is heat-conductingly connected to the hot end 122.

[0026] This technical solution connects the heat exchange pipe 21 of the heating system to the hot end 122 of the refrigeration system, and connects them through heat conduction. This utilizes the heat released from the hot end 122 to heat the water. With this heating method, when the heat at the hot end 122 is high, the hot water temperature obtained by the heat exchange pipe 21 is sufficiently high, and the water treatment system does not require additional energy consumption to produce hot water. When the heat at the hot end 122 is relatively low, the water temperature inside the heat exchange pipe 21 will be higher than that of ordinary room temperature water because it has already absorbed some heat. This reduces reliance on traditional energy sources and lowers energy consumption while maintaining the same target temperature. Furthermore, this technical solution can recover and reuse the heat from the hot end 122, which might otherwise be wasted, reducing the energy consumption required to produce hot water and achieving efficient energy utilization.

[0027] Reference Figure 1In this technical solution, the heating system also includes a heating chamber 22, and a heat exchange pipe 21 with an inlet and an outlet, both of which are connected to the heating chamber 22. The inlet and outlet of the heat exchange pipe 21 are connected to the heating chamber 22, allowing the water in the heating chamber 22 to circulate through the heat exchange pipe 21. During the circulation process, the water flows through the hot end 122 multiple times, absorbing heat from the hot end 122 with each circulation, gradually heating the water to the required temperature. This multi-cycle heating method ensures that the heat from the hot end 122 is fully utilized, significantly improving the energy utilization rate of the hot end 122.

[0028] The heat exchange pipe 21 may be equipped with a pump body 211, which is used to accelerate the circulation of water in the heat exchange pipe 21 and the heating chamber 22. The increase in water flow velocity can increase the number of times water flows through the hot end 122 per unit time, thereby more fully absorbing the heat of the hot end 122 and further improving the energy utilization rate of the hot end 122.

[0029] A first stop valve 212 can be installed on the heat exchange pipeline 21. By installing the first stop valve 212 on the heat exchange pipeline 21, the circulation and stopping of water flow can be controlled at any time. When it is necessary to stop hot water production or perform system maintenance, closing the stop valve can quickly cut off the water flow, avoiding unnecessary energy loss and water waste.

[0030] Furthermore, the heating system may also include a temperature sensor (not shown) and a controller (not shown). The temperature sensor is thermally connected to the heat exchange pipeline 21, and the controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the first stop valve 212. The controller controls the opening and closing of the pump body 211 and / or the first stop valve 212 according to the temperature feedback from the temperature sensor.

[0031] A temperature sensor is thermally connected to heat exchange pipe 21 to monitor the temperature change of the water flow in real time and feeds the detected temperature value back to the controller. The controller automatically adjusts the working state of pump 211 and / or the first stop valve 212 based on the temperature signal from the temperature sensor. When the water temperature detected by the temperature sensor is lower than the set target temperature, the controller determines that the water needs more heat input. The controller starts the first stop valve 212 and pump 211, and adjusts the speed of pump 211 to accelerate the water circulation speed, so that the water flows frequently through the hot end 122 to absorb more heat. When the temperature sensor detects that the water temperature has reached the set target temperature, the controller reduces the speed of pump 211 or stops pump 211 to reduce heat input and maintain a stable hot water temperature. When the temperature sensor detects that the water temperature is higher than the set target temperature, the controller determines that the system has too much heat input. The controller controls pump 211 and the first stop valve 212 to close, stopping water circulation and preventing the hot water temperature from rising further. In summary, the controller, temperature sensor, pump body 211, and first control valve can be electrically connected to form an intelligent control system. This intelligent control system can monitor the hot water temperature in real time and automatically adjust the operating status of pump body 211 and / or first control valve according to actual needs, ensuring that the hot water temperature is always kept within the set range, thereby enhancing the safety and reliability of the system.

[0032] In one embodiment, the heating system further includes a heating element, a temperature sensor, and a controller. The heating element and the heating chamber 22 are connected by thermal conduction. The temperature sensor and the heating chamber 22 are also connected by thermal conduction. The controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the heating element. The controller controls the heating element to turn on and off based on the temperature feedback from the temperature sensor. When the water temperature fed back by the temperature sensor is lower than the set lower limit temperature, the controller determines that heating is needed and controls the heating element to turn on to heat the water in the heat exchange pipe 21 until the water temperature reaches the set temperature range. Then, the controller controls the heating element to turn off, and the heating element stops heating the water in the heat exchange pipe 21. It should be noted that although the operation of the heating element may require additional energy consumption, the energy required by the heating element will be relatively reduced because the heat exchange pipe 21 has already preheated part of the water temperature through the hot end 122.

[0033] In this embodiment, the heating element, temperature sensor, and controller form an intelligent control system. This intelligent control system can monitor the hot water temperature in real time and automatically control the heating element to turn on or off according to actual needs, ensuring that the hot water temperature is always kept within the set range, thereby enhancing the safety and reliability of the system.

[0034] Reference Figure 1The heating system also includes a hot water drain pipe 23, whose inlet end is connected to the heating chamber 22. The hot water drain pipe 23 is used to drain the high-temperature water from the heating chamber 22. The outlet end of the hot water drain pipe 23 can be connected to the same tap as the outlet end of the heat exchange pipe 21, or it can be connected to different taps. Users can immediately obtain hot water for drinking by turning on the tap corresponding to the hot water drain pipe 23.

[0035] The refrigeration system also includes a cold water discharge pipe 13 connected to the refrigeration chamber 11, and the cold water discharge pipe 13 is connected to the heat exchange pipe 21. The cold water discharge pipe 13 is used to discharge the cold water produced by the refrigeration system. The outlet of the cold water discharge pipe 13 can be connected to the same water tap as the outlet of the heat exchange pipe 21, or it can be connected to different water taps. In this embodiment, when the water temperature in the heat exchange pipe 21 is high, the cold water produced by the refrigeration system can be mixed with the hot water in the heat exchange pipe 21 to cool it down.

[0036] Specifically, the cold water discharge pipe 13 can be connected to the heat exchange pipeline 21 via the first water supply pipe 131. A second stop valve 132 is installed on the first water supply pipe 131 to control the flow of water through the first water supply pipe 131. The water treatment system also includes a temperature sensor and a controller. The temperature sensor is thermally connected to the heat exchange pipeline 21, and the controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the second stop valve 132. The controller controls the opening and closing of the second stop valve 132 based on the temperature feedback from the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor, thermally connected to the heat exchange pipeline 21, monitors the water temperature in the heat exchange pipeline 21 in real time and feeds the temperature information back to the controller. The controller automatically controls the opening and closing of the second stop valve 132 based on the set temperature threshold and the actual monitored temperature. When the water temperature detected by the temperature sensor exceeds the set upper limit, the controller controls the second stop valve 132 to open, allowing the chilled water produced by the refrigeration system to flow into the heat exchange pipe 21 through the first water supply pipe 131, mixing with the hot water in the heat exchange pipe 21, thereby reducing the outlet water temperature of the heat exchange pipe 21. When the water temperature in the heat exchange pipe 21 drops to a suitable range, the controller instructs the second stop valve 132 to close, stopping the flow of chilled water and ensuring that the outlet water temperature of the heat exchange pipe 21 is maintained within a suitable range.

[0037] In this embodiment, the temperature sensor, the controller, and the second stop valve 132 form an intelligent control system. This intelligent control system can monitor the hot water temperature in real time and automatically open and close the second stop valve 132 according to actual needs, ensuring that the hot water temperature is always kept within the set range, thereby enhancing the safety and reliability of the system.

[0038] This water treatment system also includes a filtration system, which comprises a filter chamber 31 and a pure water discharge pipe 32 connected to the filter chamber 31. The pure water discharge pipe 32 is connected to the heat exchange pipeline 21. The pure water discharge pipe 32 is used to discharge the pure water obtained after filtration by the filtration system. The outlet of the pure water discharge pipe 32 can be connected to the same water tap as the outlet of the heat exchange pipeline 21, or it can be connected to different water taps. Since the pure water discharge pipe 32 is connected to the heat exchange pipeline 21, when the water temperature in the heat exchange pipeline 21 is high, the ambient temperature water obtained after filtration can be mixed with the hot water in the heat exchange pipeline 21 to cool it down.

[0039] Specifically, the pure water discharge pipe 32 can be connected to the heat exchange pipeline 21 via the second water supply pipe 321, and a third stop valve 322 is installed on the second water supply pipe 321. The third stop valve 322 is used to control the flow of water in the second water supply pipe 321. The water treatment system also includes a temperature sensor and a controller. The temperature sensor is thermally connected to the heat exchange pipeline 21, and the controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the third stop valve 322. The controller controls the opening and closing of the third stop valve 322 based on the temperature feedback from the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is thermally connected to the heat exchange pipeline 21 to monitor the water temperature in the heat exchange pipeline 21 in real time and feeds the temperature information back to the controller. The controller automatically controls the opening and closing of the third stop valve 322 based on the set temperature threshold and the actual monitored temperature. When the water temperature detected by the temperature sensor exceeds the set upper limit, the controller controls the third stop valve 322 to open, allowing the ambient temperature water filtered by the filtration system to flow into the heat exchange pipe 21 through the second water supply pipe 321, mixing with the hot water in the heat exchange pipe 21, thereby reducing the outlet water temperature of the heat exchange pipe 21. When the water temperature in the heat exchange pipe 21 drops to a suitable range, the controller instructs the third stop valve 322 to close, stopping the inflow of ambient temperature water and ensuring that the outlet water temperature of the heat exchange pipe 21 is maintained within a suitable range.

[0040] In this embodiment, the temperature sensor, controller, and third stop valve 322 form an intelligent control system. This intelligent control system can monitor the hot water temperature in real time and automatically open and close the third stop valve 322 according to actual needs, ensuring that the hot water temperature is always kept within the set range, thereby enhancing the safety and reliability of the system.

[0041] The filtration system includes a filter chamber 31 containing a filter element for filtering municipal tap water to produce purified water. Specifically, the filter chamber 31 may include a first filter chamber and a second filter chamber arranged sequentially along the water flow direction. The filter element assembly contains at least one filter element within the first filter chamber, and the heat exchange pipe 21 is connected to the second filter chamber. Water enters the filter element assembly from the first filter chamber and exits from the second filter chamber. The cooling chamber 11 and the heating chamber 22 are respectively located downstream of the second filter chamber along the water flow direction. The filter element assembly contains at least one filter element within the first filter chamber, ensuring that the water exiting the second filter chamber is filtered through at least one filter element.

[0042] Alternatively, the filter cartridge may include a first filter cartridge and a second filter cartridge, with the first filter cartridge disposed within a first filter chamber and the second filter cartridge disposed within a second filter chamber. The first filter cartridge removes large particulate impurities from the water, while the second filter cartridge further removes residual dissolved solids, odors, bacteria, and other minute impurities. This multi-stage filtration design can further improve water quality, ensuring that the water meets higher standards.

[0043] The first and second filter cartridges can be made of multi-layered folded polypropylene. Polypropylene is a high-molecular polymer that can filter out large particulate impurities in the water, such as silt, rust, and suspended solids. Activated carbon can also be incorporated into the first and second filter cartridges. The porous structure of activated carbon gives it a strong adsorption capacity, effectively adsorbing harmful substances in the water such as odors, chlorine, and organic matter, thereby purifying the water.

[0044] The second filter element can be a mineralization filter element, used to mineralize the water. The material of the mineralization filter element can be natural rock materials, such as magnesium ore (containing magnesium), celestite (containing strontium), selenium ore (containing selenium), and maifanite (containing calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, etc.). Alternatively, the material of the mineralization filter element can be a mixture of various rock materials. Or, the material of the mineralization filter element can be artificially modified materials rich in various mineral elements, as long as they can release minerals beneficial to the human body into the water. The mineral salts in the mineralization filter element can be released into the water body during water flow or when the filter element is immersed, transforming the water into mineralized water and replenishing the human body with necessary minerals.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
