Technical Problem

[0005]为了克服现有技术的上述缺陷,本实用新型实施例所要解决的技术问题是提供了一种净水系统,其能够解决精过滤滤芯在对过滤膜的原水侧进行冲洗时过滤膜的尾部出现过早失效的问题

Benefits of technology

[0033]申请人通过研究发现,在冲洗过程中,由于精过滤滤芯的过滤膜的原水侧存在积攒的污染物,污染物会对冲洗的原水存在阻力,这会导致原水在冲洗原水侧时,越是在原水侧的下游,原水冲洗的压力越小,也就是说,原水对过滤膜的压力越小。与此同时,由于在冲洗过程中,精过滤滤芯的净水端停止向外供水,在过滤膜的原水侧的上游,原水的水压很高,少量的水会透过过滤膜到达过滤膜的净水侧,此时,导致净水侧的水压升高。整个过滤膜的净水侧的不同位置均处于连通状态,且不存在污染物阻挡明显的降低水压,因此,过滤膜的净水侧在不同位置的水压均大体与过滤膜的原水侧的上游相对应的净水侧的水压相近。这样会导致一个问题,过滤膜的原水侧的下游的水压较低,过滤膜的原水侧的下游相对应的净水侧的水压较高,会出现大于原水侧的下游的水压,一旦这种情况发生,净水侧的净水会反方向在压力的作用下透过过滤膜,就会对过滤膜造成损伤,致使过滤膜的原水侧的下游区域(即尾部)会出现过早失效,该区域的脱盐率快速下降,导致过滤膜尾部的过滤功能丧失。考虑到是由于上述具体的原因导致的,为了解决该问题,申请人将精过滤单元的净水端通过单向导流水路与精过滤单元的废水端连通,单向导流水路能由所述净水端向所述废水端方向单向导通,这样一来,在冲洗过程中,如果过滤膜的原水侧的下游相对应的净水侧的水压将要大于原水侧的下游的水压,此时,过滤膜的净水侧的净水可以通过单向导流水路流入废水排放水路,过滤膜的净水侧的压力可以得到下降缓解,不会出现大于原水侧的下游的水压,如此,可以防止过滤膜的原水侧的下游区域(即尾部)出现损坏,保证了过滤膜的使用寿命,降低了净水系统的运行成本和维护频次,保障了净水系统长期稳定、高效运行。

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment, and in particular to a water purification system. Background Technology

[0002] In the operation of a water purification system, the fine filter cartridge, as the core filtration component, directly determines the quality of the purified water through the filtration performance of its internal membrane. As the filtration process continues, various pollutants in the raw water gradually accumulate on the raw water side of the filter membrane. When the amount of pollutants accumulates to a certain level, it significantly increases filtration resistance, reduces filtration efficiency, and even affects the water purification effect. Therefore, it is urgent to flush the filter membrane to restore its filtration performance. In existing technologies, the conventional solution to this problem is as follows: when the amount of pollutants accumulated on the raw water side of the filter membrane in the fine filter cartridge reaches a preset threshold, the wastewater path of the fine filter cartridge is switched to an open state, while the purified water end of the fine filter cartridge stops supplying water. Then, a large amount of raw water is introduced into the fine filter cartridge, utilizing the flushing action of the raw water to remove the pollutants accumulated on the raw water side of the filter membrane. Practice shows that during this flushing process, the greater the flow rate of raw water, the stronger the flushing force on the pollutants accumulated on the raw water side of the filter membrane, the easier it is to flush away the pollutants, and the more ideal the flushing effect.

[0003] To improve rinsing effectiveness, existing technologies typically increase raw water flow by increasing raw water pressure. However, in practical applications, while this method can improve rinsing to some extent, it introduces new problems: as raw water pressure increases, the downstream end of the filter membrane in the fine filter cartridge experiences premature failure. Specifically, this manifests as a rapid decrease in desalination rate in this area, leading to the loss of filtration function at the downstream end of the membrane. This failure further impacts the overall filtration performance of the membrane, significantly shortening its lifespan, increasing operating costs and maintenance frequency, and failing to meet the practical requirements for long-term, stable, and efficient operation of the water purification system.

[0004] Therefore, how to prevent premature failure of the filter membrane at the tail end and extend the service life of the filter membrane while ensuring the rinsing effect of the fine filter cartridge has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in the field of water purification system related technologies.

[0031] Preferably, the fine filtration unit includes at least one of the following: a reverse osmosis membrane filtration unit, a nanofiltration membrane filtration unit, and an ultrafiltration membrane filtration unit.

[0032] The technical solution of this utility model has the following significant beneficial effects:

[0033] The applicant's research revealed that during the rinsing process, accumulated contaminants on the raw water side of the fine filter cartridge create resistance to the rinsing raw water. This results in lower rinsing pressure on the downstream side of the raw water side, meaning less pressure from the raw water on the filter membrane. Simultaneously, during rinsing, the clean water supply to the fine filter cartridge stops. Upstream of the raw water side of the filter membrane, the raw water pressure is high, allowing a small amount of water to permeate to the clean water side, thus increasing the pressure there. Since all locations on the clean water side of the filter membrane are interconnected and there is no significant pressure reduction due to contaminants, the water pressure at different locations on the clean water side is generally similar to the pressure on the upstream clean water side of the raw water side. This can lead to a problem: the water pressure downstream of the raw water side of the filter membrane is lower, while the corresponding water pressure downstream of the raw water side of the filter membrane is higher, sometimes exceeding the water pressure downstream of the raw water side. Once this happens, the purified water on the purified water side will pass through the filter membrane in the opposite direction under pressure, which will damage the filter membrane. This will cause the downstream area of ​​the filter membrane on the raw water side (i.e., the tail section) to fail prematurely, and the desalination rate in this area will drop rapidly, resulting in the loss of the filtration function at the tail section of the filter membrane. Considering the specific reasons mentioned above, in order to solve this problem, the applicant connected the purified water end of the fine filtration unit to the wastewater end of the fine filtration unit through a one-way flow path. This one-way flow path allows for unidirectional flow from the purified water end to the wastewater end. In this way, during rinsing, if the water pressure on the purified water side downstream of the raw water side of the filter membrane is greater than the water pressure downstream of the raw water side, the purified water on the purified water side of the filter membrane can flow into the wastewater discharge path through the one-way flow path. This reduces and alleviates the pressure on the purified water side of the filter membrane, preventing it from exceeding the downstream water pressure on the raw water side. This prevents damage to the downstream area (i.e., the tail end) of the filter membrane on the raw water side, ensuring the service life of the filter membrane, reducing the operating cost and maintenance frequency of the water purification system, and guaranteeing the long-term stable and efficient operation of the water purification system.

[0044] The details of this utility model can be more clearly understood by referring to the accompanying drawings and the description of specific embodiments. However, the specific embodiments of this utility model described herein are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the utility model in any way. Under the teachings of this utility model, those skilled in the art can conceive of any possible modifications based on this utility model, and these should all be considered to fall within the scope of this utility model.

[0045] To address the issue of premature membrane failure at the tail end during rinsing of the filter membrane on the raw water side, this application proposes a water purification system. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the water purification system in the first embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the water purification system may include: a fine filtration unit 1, which has a raw water end, a purified water end, and a wastewater end; a wastewater discharge channel 2 connected to the wastewater end, which has a wastewater ratio function and a connection function; and a unidirectional flow channel 3, one end of which is connected to the purified water end and the other end of which is connected to the wastewater end, and the unidirectional flow channel 3 can unidirectionally flow from the purified water end to the wastewater end.

[0046] The applicant's research revealed that during the rinsing process, accumulated contaminants on the raw water side of the fine filter cartridge create resistance to the rinsing raw water. This results in lower rinsing pressure on the downstream side of the raw water side, meaning less pressure from the raw water on the filter membrane. Simultaneously, during rinsing, the clean water supply to the fine filter cartridge stops. Upstream of the raw water side of the filter membrane, the raw water pressure is high, allowing a small amount of water to permeate to the clean water side, thus increasing the pressure there. Since all locations on the clean water side of the filter membrane are interconnected and there is no significant pressure reduction due to contaminants, the water pressure at different locations on the clean water side is generally similar to the pressure on the upstream clean water side of the raw water side. This can lead to a problem: the water pressure downstream of the raw water side of the filter membrane is lower, while the corresponding water pressure downstream of the raw water side of the filter membrane is higher, sometimes exceeding the water pressure downstream of the raw water side. Once this happens, the purified water on the purified water side will pass through the filter membrane in the opposite direction under pressure, which will damage the filter membrane. This will cause the downstream area of ​​the filter membrane on the raw water side (i.e., the tail section) to fail prematurely, and the desalination rate in this area will drop rapidly, resulting in the loss of the filtration function at the tail section of the filter membrane. Considering the specific reasons mentioned above, in order to solve this problem, the applicant connects the clean water end of the fine filtration unit 1 to the wastewater end of the fine filtration unit 1 through a one-way flow path 3. The one-way flow path 3 can flow unidirectionally from the clean water end to the wastewater end. In this way, during the rinsing process, if the water pressure on the clean water side downstream of the raw water side of the filter membrane is greater than the water pressure downstream of the raw water side, the clean water on the clean water side of the filter membrane can flow into the wastewater discharge path 2 through the one-way flow path 3. The pressure on the clean water side of the filter membrane can be reduced and alleviated, and there will be no water pressure greater than that downstream of the raw water side. In this way, damage to the downstream area (i.e., the tail) of the filter membrane on the raw water side can be prevented, ensuring the service life of the filter membrane, reducing the operating cost and maintenance frequency of the water purification system, and ensuring the long-term stable and efficient operation of the water purification system.

[0047] like Figure 1As shown, the water purification system may include: a fine filtration unit 1, a wastewater discharge path 2, and a unidirectional flow path 3. The fine filtration unit 1 is a filtration unit capable of filtering water, producing purified water while simultaneously discharging wastewater. Therefore, the fine filtration unit 1 may have a raw water end, a purified water end, and a wastewater end. Raw water can be input from the raw water end of the fine filtration unit 1. After filtration, the purified water is output from the purified water end, while the wastewater generated during the filtration process is discharged from the wastewater end. The fine filtration unit 1 filters the raw water through a filter membrane, which may have opposing raw water and purified water sides. The raw water side may have a raw water flow channel, with its two ends connected to the raw water end and the wastewater end, respectively. The purified water side may have a purified water flow channel, connected to the purified water end. The wastewater discharge path 2 is connected to the wastewater end, and the wastewater discharged from the wastewater end is discharged through the wastewater discharge path 2. The wastewater discharge path 2 has both wastewater ratio and connectivity functions. When wastewater discharge channel 2 is in wastewater ratio function mode, the water purification system can filter and output purified water normally. When wastewater discharge channel 2 is in connectivity function mode, all raw water input to the water purification system will pass through the fine filtration unit 1 and then be discharged from wastewater discharge channel 2. In this case, the connectivity function can be understood as wastewater discharge channel 2 being in a connectivity state with a large flow area, allowing water to pass through wastewater discharge channel 2 at a high flow rate. That is to say, the flow area of ​​wastewater discharge channel 2 in connectivity function mode is greater than the flow area of ​​wastewater discharge channel 2 in wastewater ratio function mode.

[0048] To enable the wastewater discharge path 2 to have both wastewater ratio and connectivity functions, in one feasible embodiment, the wastewater discharge path 2 may be equipped with a first on / off unit 7 and a wastewater ratio unit 8 connected in parallel. When the first on / off unit 7 is in the connected state, the wastewater discharge path 2 is in the connectivity function. When the wastewater ratio unit 8 is activated and the first on / off unit 7 is in the off state, the wastewater discharge path 2 is in the wastewater ratio function.

[0049] The unidirectional water flow path 3 allows the purified water end of the fine filtration unit 1 to be connected to the wastewater end of the fine filtration unit 1. Specifically, the unidirectional water flow path 3 allows for unidirectional flow from the purified water end to the wastewater end.

[0050] To achieve unidirectional flow of the unidirectional water passage 3, in one feasible embodiment, a first one-way valve 4 is provided on the unidirectional water passage 3, which allows unidirectional flow from the clean water end to the wastewater end. Correspondingly, in this embodiment, the other end of the unidirectional water passage 3 can be connected to the wastewater end. Alternatively, the other end of the unidirectional water passage 3 can be connected to the wastewater discharge passage 2 upstream of the parallel wastewater ratio unit 8 and the first on / off unit 7.

[0051] In order to connect the clean water end and the wastewater end through the unidirectional water flow path 3, in other feasible embodiments... Figure 6 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the fine filtration unit in one feasible implementation of this utility model, as shown below. Figure 6 As shown, a one-way flow path 3 can be installed within the fine filtration unit 1. For example, the fine filtration unit 1 may include: a housing; and a filter element 102 installed within the housing. The filter element 102 may be formed of a filter membrane. The housing has a clean water outlet channel 103 communicating with the clean water side of the filter element 102, a raw water inlet channel 104 communicating with the raw water side of the filter element 102, a wastewater outlet channel 105 communicating with the wastewater side of the filter element 102, and the one-way flow path 3, which connects the clean water outlet channel 103 and the wastewater outlet channel 105. Furthermore, the fine filtration unit 1 may include: a central tube 106, the filter element 102 being sleeved outside the central tube 106, and the purified water outlet channel 103 being formed inside the central tube 106; an upper cover 101 disposed at the end of the filter element 102, the upper cover 101 having the raw water inlet channel 104 and the unidirectional flow path 3 formed inside; and the wastewater outlet channel 105 being formed between the outer wall of the filter element 102 and the housing.

[0052] After the raw water enters the housing, it flows from the raw water inlet channel 104 to the raw water side of the filter element 102. The purified water formed after filtration exits the housing through the purified water outlet channel 103 in the central pipe 106. Wastewater formed during the filtration process is discharged from the housing through the wastewater outlet channel 105. During the rinsing process, if the water pressure on the purified water side downstream of the raw water side of the filter membrane is greater than the water pressure downstream of the raw water side, the purified water on the purified water side of the filter membrane can flow through the purified water outlet channel 103 in the central pipe 106 and the unidirectional flow path 3 formed in the upper cover 101 into the wastewater outlet channel 105 formed between the outer wall and the housing, and then enter the wastewater discharge channel 2. In this way, the pressure on the purified water side of the filter membrane can be reduced and alleviated.

[0053] In this application, as feasible, the fine filtration unit 1 may include at least one of the following: reverse osmosis membrane filtration unit, nanofiltration membrane filtration unit, ultrafiltration membrane filtration unit, etc. Of course, in other feasible embodiments, the fine filtration unit 1 may also include other types of filtration units, and this application does not limit them in any way.

[0054] In one feasible implementation, the water purification system may include a purified water output path 5 and an inlet path 6. The purified water output path 5 may be connected to the purified water terminal, and purified water output from the terminal is supplied to the purified water output path 5 for user use. Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of the water purification system in the second embodiment of this utility model, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, a control valve 16 capable of switching the purified water output path 5 on and off can be installed on the purified water output path 5. When purified water is not output, the purified water output path 5 can be disconnected through the control valve 16. The inlet water path 6 is connected to the raw water source, and the upstream of the inlet water path 6 can be connected to a water source. An inlet valve 15 is installed on the inlet water path 6, which can control whether the water source inputs raw water into the purified water system.

[0055] The water purification system can have a flushing mode. In this flushing mode, the control valve 16 is in the off state, the wastewater discharge channel 2 is in the connected state, and the inlet valve 15 is in the open state. Through the flushing mode, a large flow of raw water input from the inlet channel 6 can flush the raw water side of the filter membrane of the fine filtration unit 1 to remove accumulated contaminants. Since the wastewater discharge channel 2 is in the connected state, a large amount of wastewater generated during flushing can be discharged through the wastewater discharge channel 2. During this period, since the purified water output channel 5 is controlled to be off by the control valve 16, if the pressure on the purified water side of the filter membrane rises, the purified water on the purified water side can flow into the wastewater discharge channel 2 through the one-way flow channel 3, thereby achieving the purpose of lowering the pressure. In this way, the downstream area (i.e., the tail end) of the filter membrane on the raw water side will not be damaged when the fine filtration unit 1 is flushed, ensuring good filtration function at the tail end of the filter membrane.

[0056] To ensure that the wastewater discharge path 2 can be completely disconnected, a second on / off unit 9 can be installed on the wastewater discharge path 2. In one embodiment, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the water purification system in the third embodiment of this utility model, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the second on / off unit 9 is connected in series with the wastewater ratio unit 8, and the series-connected second on / off unit 9 and wastewater ratio unit 8 are then connected in parallel with the first on / off unit 7. In another embodiment, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the water purification system in the fourth embodiment of this utility model, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the parallel wastewater ratio unit 8 and the first on / off unit 7 are then connected in series with the second on / off unit 9.

[0057] In the above embodiments, further, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the water purification system in the fifth embodiment of this utility model, as shown below. Figure 5As shown, the water purification system may include: a return water path 10, one end of which is connected to the purified water end, and the other end of which is connected to the inlet water path 6. The return water path 10 and the fine filtration unit 1 form a circulating water path. A drive pump 11 is installed on the circulating water path. A receiving unit 12 is installed between the connection point of the other end of the return water path 10 and the inlet water path 6 and the raw water end of the fine filtration unit 1. Furthermore, a second one-way valve 17 may be installed on the return water path 10, which opens from the purified water end to the inlet water path 6.

[0058] The containing unit 12 only needs to be able to store a certain amount of water. As a feasible option, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the receiving unit 12 may include a pre-filter unit, which may be located on the inlet water passage 6. Alternatively, the receiving unit 12 may include a drive pump 11.

[0059] Alternatively, the water purification system may further include a post-filtration unit 13, which may be connected downstream of the purified water end of the fine filtration unit 1. Both the pre-filtration unit and the post-filtration unit 13 may employ corresponding filtration units from the prior art, and no limitations are imposed on them in this application.

[0060] To prevent excessively high TDS in the first cup of water output when the water purification system is not output for an extended period, the drive pump 11 can be activated while the wastewater discharge path 2 is completely disconnected. This allows the water in the circulating water path to pass through the fine filtration unit 1, thus purifying the water in the receiving unit 12. Then, the inlet valve 15 on the inlet water path 6 is opened, and the wastewater discharge path 2 is switched to either a continuous flow or a wastewater ratio function. By controlling the opening time of the inlet valve 15, raw water can enter the receiving unit 12, pushing out the purified water. This purified water can then enter the raw water side of the filter membrane in the fine filtration unit 1, replacing the raw water there. The original raw water can then be discharged through the wastewater discharge path 2. In this way, the entire raw water side of the filter membrane in the fine filtration unit 1 becomes purified water, ensuring that the first cup of water output after an extended period will not have excessively high TDS.

[0061] In the above embodiments, further, such as Figure 5As shown, the water path from the wastewater end of the fine filtration unit 1 to the clean water end of the fine filtration unit 1 and to the receiving unit 12 can be connected through a first water path 14, which can have a throttling structure. For example, the first water path 14 and the wastewater discharge path 2 can share the wastewater ratio unit 8 as a throttling structure for the first water path 14. Furthermore, a third check valve 18 can be installed on the first water path 14, which connects the wastewater end of the fine filtration unit 1 to the water path from the clean water end of the fine filtration unit 1 to the receiving unit 12. When the drive pump 11 is turned on, the wastewater discharge path 2 is completely disconnected, allowing the water in the circulating water path to be filtered by the fine filtration unit 1, thereby turning the water in the receiving unit 12 into clean water. During this process, the wastewater produced by the fine filtration unit 1 can flow back to the upstream of the raw water end of the fine filtration unit 1 through the first water path 14, thus protecting the filter membrane of the fine filtration unit 1.
