Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of descaling and water purification devices, and in particular to an automatic descaling and water purification device. Background Technology

[0002] In the traditional water purification field, filter cartridges are the key components for achieving water purification. However, minerals such as calcium and magnesium ions, which are ubiquitous in water, easily form scale and adhere to the filter cartridge surface when it flows through it. Over time, this scale gradually accumulates, clogging the pores of the filter cartridge, increasing resistance to water flow, and consequently reducing water flow velocity. To ensure effective water purification, frequent manual cleaning or replacement of the filter cartridge is necessary. This method not only consumes significant manpower and resources but also increases the operating costs and maintenance difficulty of the water purification equipment. Furthermore, the water purification equipment needs to be shut down during manual cleaning and filter replacement, affecting normal water usage. Therefore, we propose an automatic descaling water purification device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an automatic descaling and water purification device.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An automatic descaling and water purification device includes a delivery pipe, one end of which is connected to a four-way connector, an ultrasonic generator is installed at the upper end of the four-way connector, a drain pipe is connected to the lower end of the four-way connector, a filter cartridge is connected to one end of the four-way connector, an output pipe is connected to one end of the filter cartridge, and a U-shaped connecting pipe is connected between the delivery pipe and the output pipe.

[0006] Preferably, a second electric valve and a flow sensor are installed on the delivery pipe.

[0007] Preferably, a third electric valve is installed on the drain pipe.

[0008] Preferably, a fourth electric valve is installed on the output pipe.

[0009] Preferably, a first electric valve is installed on both sides of the U-shaped connecting pipe.

[0010] In this utility model, during conveying:

[0011] 1. Regular conveying stage

[0012] Under normal water purification operation, the first and third electric valves are closed, while the second and fourth electric valves are open. At this time, the water source is transported to the four-way connector through the delivery pipe and then enters the filter cartridge. In the filter cartridge, impurities and pollutants in the water source are filtered out by the filter element. The purified water is discharged from the output pipe to provide clean water for users.

[0013] 2. Descaling Triggering Stage

[0014] The flow sensor plays a monitoring role throughout the water purification process, detecting the flow rate of water in the delivery pipe in real time and recording the cumulative running time of the equipment. When the flow sensor detects a 20% decrease in water flow rate, it means that a lot of scale has accumulated on the surface of the filter element, affecting the normal flow of water. Or, if the equipment has run for a cumulative 72 hours, regardless of whether the flow rate has decreased, the descaling mode will be activated to ensure the filtration effect of the filter element. In the descaling mode, the ultrasonic generator starts working, and its transducer causes water molecules to vibrate at a frequency of 40kHz. The high-frequency vibration can generate a strong impact force, which acts on the scale on the surface of the filter element, breaking it down and causing the scale to detach from the filter element surface.

[0015] 3. Wastewater Recycling Stage

[0016] Once descaling is triggered, the system enters the wastewater regeneration stage. At this time, the second and fourth electric valves close, cutting off the normal water flow output path. Simultaneously, the first and third electric valves open, and the equipment enters the wastewater discharge state. Water is transported through the delivery pipe, forming a 0.5MPa high-pressure water flow, which is sent into the filter cartridge through the U-shaped connecting pipe. The high-pressure water flow has a strong impact force, which can wash away the broken-down scale and impurities, allowing them to enter the drain pipe with the water flow and finally be discharged from the equipment, completing the wastewater regeneration process of the filter cartridge.

[0017] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. Traditional filter cartridges require frequent manual cleaning or replacement, which consumes a lot of manpower and time. The automatic descaling water purification device of this utility model reduces manual intervention through automated descaling and sewage discharge processes, greatly reducing labor costs. Users do not need to perform frequent maintenance operations on the filter cartridges.

[0019] 2. By using an ultrasonic generator to break down scale and high-pressure water jets to rinse, scale and impurities on the surface of the filter element can be effectively removed, keeping the pores of the filter element unobstructed, thereby extending the service life of the filter element, reducing the frequency of filter element replacement, and lowering the operating costs of the equipment.

[0020] 3. It can remove scale in a timely and effective manner, ensuring that the filter element is always in a good filtration state, thereby providing users with stable and clean water quality, which can meet the water quality requirements of both domestic and industrial water use.

[0021] 4. When the flow sensor detects a decrease in flow rate or after a certain period of cumulative operation, the descaling mode is automatically activated, which can promptly resolve the problem of filter clogging, avoid water flow obstruction and equipment failure caused by filter clogging, and enable the water purification equipment to operate continuously and efficiently, thereby improving the overall operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0022] In summary, this utility model's automatic descaling and water purification device reduces manual intervention and significantly lowers labor costs through automated descaling and sewage discharge processes. Users no longer need to frequently maintain the filter element. By using an ultrasonic generator to break down scale and high-pressure water jet rinsing, scale and impurities on the filter element surface can be effectively removed, keeping the filter element's pores unobstructed and extending its service life. This not only reduces the frequency of filter element replacement but also lowers equipment operating costs, ensuring timely and effective scale removal and maintaining the filter element in optimal filtration condition.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-2 An automatic descaling and water purification device includes a delivery pipe 6, one end of which is connected to a four-way connector 9. An ultrasonic generator 1 is installed at the upper end of the four-way connector 9. The ultrasonic generator 1 is equipped with an intelligent control system, which can accurately control the working frequency and power of the transducer. Its transducer is made of a special piezoelectric ceramic material, which has a high efficiency of electrical energy to mechanical energy conversion and can ensure that water molecules generate high-frequency oscillation at a stable frequency of 40kHz.

[0028] The lower end of the four-way connector 9 is connected to the drain pipe 7, one end of the four-way connector 9 is connected to the filter cartridge 10, one end of the filter cartridge 10 is connected to the output pipe 12, and a U-shaped connecting pipe 2 is connected between the delivery pipe 6 and the output pipe 12. The filter cartridge 10 is equipped with a high-efficiency filter element, which can effectively filter impurities and pollutants in the water source. The filter element uses multi-layer composite filter materials, including PP cotton, activated carbon and RO reverse osmosis membrane, etc. Different filter layers can purify the water source from different aspects, greatly improving the filtration effect.

[0029] The delivery pipe 6 is equipped with a second electric valve 5 and a flow sensor 4. The flow sensor 4 monitors the flow rate of the water in the delivery pipe 6 in real time and records the cumulative running time of the equipment, providing an important basis for starting the descaling mode. It can accurately detect small changes in the water flow rate, and its intelligent algorithm can accurately calculate the cumulative running time to ensure the accuracy of the data.

[0030] A third electric valve 8 is installed on the drain pipe 7, a fourth electric valve 11 is installed on the output pipe 12, and a first electric valve 3 is installed on both sides of the U-shaped connecting pipe 2. The electric valve 5 adopts electric drive technology, which has a fast response speed and can realize the opening and closing of the valve in a short time, ensuring the efficient operation of the device.

[0031] In this utility model, during conveying:

[0032] 1. Regular conveying stage

[0033] Under normal water purification operation, the first electric valve 3 and the third electric valve 8 are closed, while the second electric valve 5 and the fourth electric valve 11 are open. At this time, the water source is transported to the four-way connector 9 through the delivery pipe 6, and then enters the filter cartridge 10. In the filter cartridge 10, impurities and pollutants in the water source are filtered out by the filter element. The purified water is discharged from the output pipe 12 to provide clean water for users.

[0034] 2. Descaling Triggering Stage

[0035] The flow sensor 4 plays a monitoring role throughout the water purification process. It detects the flow rate of water in the delivery pipe 6 in real time and records the cumulative running time of the equipment. When the flow sensor 4 detects that the water flow rate has decreased by 20%, it means that a lot of scale has accumulated on the surface of the filter element, affecting the normal flow of water. Or, if the equipment has been running for a cumulative 72 hours, regardless of whether the flow rate has decreased, in order to ensure the filtration effect of the filter element, the descaling mode will be activated. In the descaling mode, the ultrasonic generator 1 starts to work. Its transducer causes water molecules to vibrate at a frequency of 40kHz. The high-frequency vibration can generate a strong impact force, which acts on the scale on the surface of the filter element, breaking it down and causing the scale to detach from the surface of the filter element.

[0036] 3. Wastewater Recycling Stage

[0037] Once descaling is triggered, the wastewater regeneration stage begins. At this time, the second electric valve 5 and the fourth electric valve 11 close, cutting off the normal water flow output path. Simultaneously, the first electric valve 3 and the third electric valve 8 open, and the equipment enters the wastewater discharge state. Water is supplied through the delivery pipe 6, forming a high-pressure water flow of 0.5 MPa, which is sent into the filter cartridge 10 from the U-shaped connecting pipe 2. The high-pressure water flow has a strong impact force, which can wash away the broken-down scale and impurities, allowing them to enter the drain pipe 7 along with the water flow and finally be discharged from the equipment, completing the wastewater regeneration process of the filter cartridge. During the wastewater regeneration stage, in order to ensure the thoroughness of wastewater discharge, the device will perform high-pressure water flushing multiple times. The time and pressure of each flush will be precisely adjusted according to the actual situation. At the same time, the discharged wastewater will be tested for water quality. Only when the test results meet the discharge standards will the wastewater discharge operation be stopped.

[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
