[0024] Currently, most 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.

[0025] To solve this problem, this utility model proposes a water treatment system.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water treatment system provided by this utility model includes a refrigeration device 1, a filter element assembly 2, and a water outlet faucet 8. The refrigeration device 1 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 filter element assembly 2 has a filter chamber 21, which is connected to a heat exchange pipe 5. The heat exchange pipe 5 flows through the hot end 122 and is heat-conductingly connected to the hot end 122. The water outlet of the heat exchange pipe 5 is connected to the water outlet faucet 8.

[0027] In this water treatment system, the filter assembly 2 includes a filter chamber 21 and a filter element 22 disposed within the filter chamber 21, used to filter municipal tap water to produce purified water. The filter chamber 21 is connected to a heat exchange pipe 5, which discharges the water filtered by the filter element 22. The refrigeration device 1 includes a refrigeration chamber 11 and a refrigeration element 12. The refrigeration element 12 has a cold end 121 and a hot end 122. The cold end 121 is heat-conductingly connected to the refrigeration chamber 11, thereby reducing the water temperature within the refrigeration chamber 11 and producing chilled water. In this technical solution, the heat exchange pipe 5 flows through the hot end 122 of the refrigeration device 1 and is heat-conducting with the hot end 122, thereby utilizing 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 5 is sufficiently high. In this case, the water treatment system does not need to consume energy using additional heating equipment to produce hot water. When the heat at the hot end 122 is relatively low, since the heat exchange pipe 5 has already absorbed some heat, the water temperature inside will also be higher than that of ordinary room temperature water. Under the same target temperature, this also reduces reliance on traditional energy sources and lowers energy consumption. Furthermore, this technical solution can recover and reuse the heat from the hot end 122 that might otherwise be wasted, reducing the energy consumption required to produce hot water and achieving efficient energy utilization.

[0028] This water treatment system may also include a heating device 3, which is connected to the heat exchange pipe 5 and located upstream of the water outlet faucet 8. When the temperature of the hot end 122 of the cooling device 1 is low and the water temperature in the heat exchange pipe 5 cannot meet the demand, the heating device 3 can heat the water in the heat exchange pipe 5 through heat transfer, thereby obtaining high-temperature water that meets the user's needs. Since the heat exchange pipe 5 has already absorbed some of the heat from the hot end 122 of the cooling device 1, the water temperature inside it is already higher than that of ordinary room temperature water. Under the same target temperature, the energy consumption of the heating device 3 can be relatively reduced, thus lowering energy consumption.

[0029] The heating device 3 includes a heating chamber 31, with the hot end 122 connected to it via thermal conduction. In this configuration, the cold end 121 of the cooling component 12 is connected to the cooling chamber 11 via thermal conduction for cooling the water within the chamber, while the hot end 122 is connected to the heating chamber 31 via thermal conduction for heating the water within the chamber. This arrangement allows the cooling component 12 to simultaneously heat the heat exchange pipe 5 and the water in the heating chamber 31 using the heat generated by the hot end 122, further improving energy utilization efficiency.

[0030] It is easy to understand that the heat released by the hot end 122 of the refrigeration device 1 will vary depending on the working time and operating conditions, resulting in the hot water temperature obtained by the heat exchange pipeline 5 through heat exchange being sometimes high and sometimes low. In order to ensure that the outlet water temperature of the heat exchange pipeline 5 meets the user's needs, this water treatment system may also include a temperature control system, which is connected to the heat exchange pipeline 5 and is used to adjust the outlet water temperature of the heat exchange pipeline 5.

[0031] The temperature control system may include a cooling system connected to the heat exchange pipe 5 and located between the hot end 122 and the water outlet faucet 8, used to reduce the outlet water temperature of the heat exchange pipe 5. Alternatively, the temperature control system may include a heating system connected to the heat exchange pipe 5 and located between the hot end 122 and the water outlet faucet 8, used to increase the outlet water temperature of the heat exchange pipe 5. When the water temperature in the heat exchange pipe 5 is too high, the cooling system can cool the water, lowering the outlet water temperature to reach the user-set temperature range. When the water temperature in the heat exchange pipe 5 is too low, the heating system can heat the water, raising the outlet water temperature to ensure that the outlet water temperature meets the user's needs. Although the temperature control system may require additional energy consumption (e.g., the heating system may require electric heating), the energy required by the heating system is relatively reduced because the heat exchange pipe 5 has already preheated part of the water temperature through the hot end 122. Meanwhile, the cooling system can be implemented using a simple cooling method (e.g., water cooling), resulting in relatively low energy consumption.

[0032] Reference Figure 1In this technical solution, the refrigeration chamber 11 is connected to a cold water discharge pipe 6, which is connected to the heat exchange pipeline 5 via a first water supply pipe 61. The interface between the first water supply pipe 61 and the heat exchange pipeline 5 is located between the hot end 122 and the water outlet faucet 8. A first stop valve 62 is installed on the first water supply pipe 61. The temperature control system includes a cooling system, which may include a temperature sensor (not shown) and a controller (not shown). The temperature sensor is connected to the heat exchange pipeline 5 and located between the hot end 122 and the water outlet faucet 8. The controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the first stop valve 62. The controller controls the opening and closing of the first stop valve 62 according to the temperature feedback from the temperature sensor.

[0033] The cold water discharge pipe 6 is used to discharge the cold water produced by the refrigeration unit 1. The outlet of the cold water discharge pipe 6 can be connected to the same water tap 8 as the outlet of the heat exchange pipe 5, or it can be connected to different water taps 8. In this embodiment, when the water temperature in the heat exchange pipe 5 is high, the cold water produced by the refrigeration unit 1 can be mixed with the hot water in the heat exchange pipe 5 to cool it down. Specifically, the cold water discharge pipe 6 is connected to the heat exchange pipe 5 through the first water supply pipe 61, and the interface between the first water supply pipe 61 and the heat exchange pipe 5 is located between the hot end 122 and the water tap 8. A first stop valve 62 is provided on the first water supply pipe 61 to control the flow of water in the first water supply pipe 61. A temperature sensor is connected to the heat exchange pipe 5 and located between the hot end 122 and the water tap 8 to monitor the water temperature of the heat exchange pipe 5 in real time and feed the temperature information back to the controller. The controller automatically controls the opening and closing of the first stop valve 62 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 first stop valve 62 to open, allowing the chilled water produced by the refrigeration unit 1 to flow into the heat exchange pipeline 5 through the first water supply pipe 61, mixing with the hot water in the heat exchange pipeline 5, thereby reducing the outlet water temperature of the heat exchange pipeline 5. When the water temperature in the heat exchange pipeline 5 drops to a suitable range, the controller instructs the first stop valve 62 to close, stopping the flow of chilled water and ensuring that the outlet water temperature of the heat exchange pipeline 5 is maintained within a suitable range.

[0034] In this technical solution, the filter chamber 21 is also connected to a pure water discharge pipe 7, which is used to discharge the pure water obtained by the filter element assembly 2. The outlet end of the pure water discharge pipe 7 can be connected to the same water outlet 8 as the outlet end of the heat exchange pipeline 5, or it can be connected to different water outlet 8. The pure water discharge pipe 7 can be connected to the heat exchange pipeline 5 through a second water supply pipe 71, and the interface between the second water supply pipe 71 and the heat exchange pipeline 5 is located between the hot end 122 and the water outlet 8. A second stop valve 72 is provided on the second water supply pipe 71. The temperature control system includes a cooling system, which can include a temperature sensor and a controller. The temperature sensor is connected to the heat exchange pipeline 5 and is located between the hot end 122 and the water outlet 8. The controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the second stop valve 72. The controller controls the opening and closing of the second stop valve 72 according to the temperature feedback from the temperature sensor.

[0035] In this embodiment, when the water temperature in the heat exchange pipeline 5 is high, the room-temperature water filtered by the filter element assembly 2 can be mixed with the hot water in the heat exchange pipeline 5 to cool it down. Specifically, the pure water discharge pipe 7 is connected to the heat exchange pipeline 5 through the second water supply pipe 71, and the interface between the second water supply pipe 71 and the heat exchange pipeline 5 is located between the hot end 122 and the water outlet faucet 8. A second stop valve 72 is provided on the second water supply pipe 71 to control the flow of water through the second water supply pipe 71. A temperature sensor is connected to the heat exchange pipeline 5 and located between the hot end 122 and the water outlet faucet 8 to monitor the water temperature in the heat exchange pipeline 5 in real time and feed the temperature information back to the controller. The controller automatically controls the opening and closing of the second stop valve 72 according to 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 72 to open, allowing the chilled water produced by the refrigeration system to flow into the heat exchange pipe 5 through the second water supply pipe 71, mixing with the hot water in the heat exchange pipe 5, thereby reducing the outlet water temperature of the heat exchange pipe 5. When the water temperature in the heat exchange pipe 5 drops to a suitable range, the controller instructs the second stop valve 72 to close, stopping the flow of chilled water and ensuring that the outlet water temperature of the heat exchange pipe 5 is maintained within a suitable range.

[0036] Continue to refer to Figure 1In some embodiments of this technical solution, when the water temperature in the heat exchange pipeline 5 is low, the hot water produced by the heating device 3 can be mixed with the lower-temperature water in the heat exchange pipeline 5 to raise the temperature. Specifically, the heating device 3 is provided with a heating chamber 31, which is connected to the heat exchange pipeline 5 through a third water supply pipe 32. The interface between the third water supply pipe 32 and the heat exchange pipeline 5 is located between the hot end 122 and the water outlet 8. A third stop valve 33 is provided on the third water supply pipe 32 to control the flow of water through the third water supply pipe 32. The temperature control system includes a heating system, which includes a temperature sensor and a controller. The temperature sensor is connected to the heat exchange pipeline 5 and located upstream of the water outlet 8. The controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the third stop valve 33. The controller controls the opening and closing of the third stop valve 33 based on the temperature feedback from the temperature sensor. When the water temperature detected by the temperature sensor is lower than the set temperature threshold, the controller controls the third stop valve 33 to open, allowing the high-temperature water in the heating chamber 31 to flow into the heat exchange pipeline 5 through the third water supply pipe 32, mixing with the lower-temperature water in the heat exchange pipeline 5, thereby increasing the outlet water temperature of the heat exchange pipeline 5. When the water temperature in the heat exchange pipeline 5 rises to a suitable range, the controller instructs the third stop valve 33 to close, stopping the inflow of high-temperature water and ensuring that the outlet water temperature of the heat exchange pipeline 5 is maintained within a suitable range.

[0037] Or, refer to Figure 2 The heating system can be equipped with a separate heating element 4 to heat the water in the heat exchange pipe 5 at a lower temperature. Specifically, the heating system includes a heating element 4, a temperature sensor, and a controller. The heating element 4 is connected to the heat exchange pipe 5 and located between the hot end 122 and the water outlet 8. The temperature sensor is also connected to the heat exchange pipe 5 and located between the hot end 122 and the water outlet 8. The controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the heating element 4. The controller controls the heating element 4 to turn on or off based on the temperature feedback from the temperature sensor. When the water temperature feedback from the temperature sensor is lower than the set lower limit temperature, the controller determines that heating is needed and controls the heating element 4 to turn on to heat the water in the heat exchange pipe 5 until the water temperature reaches the set temperature range. Then, the controller controls the heating element 4 to turn off, and the heating element 4 stops heating the water in the heat exchange pipe 5.

[0038] In one embodiment, the temperature control system may include a thermoelectric cooler, a temperature sensor, and a controller. The thermoelectric cooler is connected to the heat exchange pipe 5 and is located between the hot end 122 and the water outlet 8. The temperature sensor is connected to the heat exchange pipe 5 and is located between the hot end 122 and the water outlet 8. The controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor and the thermoelectric cooler. The controller adjusts the direction of the DC current input to the thermoelectric cooler according to the temperature feedback from the temperature sensor.

[0039] The semiconductor cooling device has the following characteristics: when a direct current passes through it, one end absorbs heat (cold end) and the other end releases heat (hot end). When the direction of the input direct current changes, the original cold end becomes the hot end, and the original hot end becomes the cold end. In this embodiment, the temperature control method using the semiconductor cooling device is as follows: initially, one of the cold or hot ends is connected to the heat exchange pipe 5 for heat conduction. A temperature sensor monitors the water temperature in the heat exchange pipe 5 in real time and feeds the data back to the controller. The controller adjusts the direction of the direct current input to the semiconductor cooling device based on the set temperature range and the actual monitored temperature. When the water temperature fed back by the temperature sensor is lower than the set lower limit temperature, the controller directs the current input to the semiconductor cooling device so that the hot end 122 makes thermal contact with the heat exchange pipe 5. The heat from the hot end 122 is released into the water storage chamber 91, raising the water temperature until the water temperature reaches the set temperature range. Then, the controller cuts off the current input to the semiconductor cooling device. When the water temperature reported by the temperature sensor is higher than the set upper limit temperature, the controller adjusts the direction of the current input to the semiconductor cooling device so that the cold end 121 contacts the heat exchange pipe 5, thereby absorbing heat from the water until the water temperature reaches the set temperature range, at which point the controller cuts off the current input to the semiconductor cooling device.

[0040] In this embodiment, a semiconductor cooler is used to regulate the outlet water temperature of the heat exchange pipeline 5. Since the semiconductor cooler can quickly switch between the cold end 121 and the hot end 122 according to the direction of the current, only a single semiconductor cooler is needed to achieve the heating and cooling functions. There is no need to set up separate heating and cooling systems, which can reduce the number of components and connection points and reduce the complexity of the system.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 or Figure 2 In some embodiments, a water storage tank 9 may be connected in series on the heat exchange pipeline 5. The water storage tank 9 is located between the hot end 122 and the water outlet faucet 8. The water storage tank 9 has a water storage cavity 91. The temperature control system is heat-conductingly connected to the water storage cavity 91 to reduce or increase the water temperature of the water storage cavity 91.

[0042] The water storage tank 9 can store hot water heated by the hot end 122, so that hot water can be quickly supplied when needed by the user. Specifically, when the user needs to quickly drink a large amount of hot water, turning on the water tap 8 will immediately provide sufficient hot water, reducing the user's waiting time. The temperature control system is heat-conductingly connected to the water storage chamber 91. As mentioned above, the first water supply pipe 61, the second water supply pipe 71, and the third water supply pipe 32 can be connected to the water storage chamber 91, and the cold water, room temperature water, or high temperature water delivered by the water supply pipes can be mixed with the water in the water storage chamber 91 to regulate the temperature. Alternatively, the heating element 4 or the semiconductor cooling element in the heating system mentioned above can be connected to the water storage tank 9 to regulate the temperature of the water in the water storage chamber 91. In this embodiment, a water storage tank 9 is connected in series on the heat exchange pipeline 5, and the temperature control system is connected to the water storage tank 9 for heat conduction. This allows for centralized temperature control of the water in the water storage tank 9, rather than directly controlling the temperature of the flowing water in the heat exchange pipeline 5. This method can utilize the energy of the temperature control system more efficiently, reduce energy loss, and improve temperature control efficiency.

[0043] In this water treatment system, the filter chamber 21 includes a first filter chamber 211 and a second filter chamber 212 arranged front and back along the water path. The filter element assembly 2 has a filter element 22 installed in at least the first filter chamber 211. The heat exchange pipeline 5 is connected to the second filter chamber 212. Water enters the filter element assembly 2 from the first filter chamber 211 and exits from the second filter chamber 212. The filter element assembly 2 has a filter element 22 installed in at least the first filter chamber 211, so that the water discharged from the second filter chamber 212 is filtered by at least one layer of filter element 22.

[0044] Alternatively, filter element 22 may include a first filter element 221 and a second filter element 222, with the first filter element 221 disposed within the first filter chamber 211 and the second filter element 222 disposed within the post-filter chamber 212. The first filter element 221 is used to remove large particulate impurities from the water, while the second filter element 222 is used to further remove residual dissolved solids, odors, bacteria, and other minute impurities. This multi-stage filtration design can further improve water quality and ensure that the water quality meets higher standards.

[0045] The first filter element 221 and the second filter element 222 can be made of multi-layered folded polypropylene. Polypropylene is a high molecular polymer that can filter out large particulate impurities in water, such as silt, rust, and suspended solids. Activated carbon can also be incorporated into the first filter element 221 and the second filter element 222. 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.

[0046] The second filter element 222 can be a mineralization filter element, used for mineralizing 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), maifanite (containing calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, etc.), 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 an artificially modified material rich in various mineral elements, as long as it can release minerals beneficial to the human body into the water.
