[0100] The fixed plate for a soft water valve, the soft water valve and the water softener according to the embodiment of the present application are described below with reference to Figures 1 to 17.

[0101] 7 , a water softener according to an embodiment of the present application includes a softening valve, a resin assembly 600 and a salt absorption and sewage discharge device 800 . The resin assembly 600 is provided with a water channel component 700 for water circulation. The water channel component 700 is connected to the softening valve. One side of the salt absorption and sewage discharge device 800 is connected to the water channel component 700, and the other side of the salt absorption and sewage discharge device 800 is connected to the softening valve.

[0102] Through the above design, the water channel component 700 on the resin component 600 can allow water to flow through the resin component 600 during the softening process to remove hardness ions in the water, and one side of the salt absorption and sewage discharge device 800 is connected to the water channel component 700. Its function is to perform brine flushing and sewage discharge after the resin component 600 is saturated to restore the softening ability of the resin component 600. The other side of the salt absorption and sewage discharge device 800 is connected to the soft water valve, which is responsible for controlling the inlet and outlet of liquids such as softened water and brine, thereby realizing the normal operation of the water softener. The above design can effectively soften water quality, reduce the hardness components in water, and improve water quality.

[0103] It should be noted that in some embodiments of the present application, the water softener also includes a salt tank A, and through the operation of the soft water valve, the water softener has a service state, a salt absorption state, a bypass state, a backwash state, a water replenishment state, a slow wash state and a mixed water state.

[0104] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 3 and Figures 5, 6 and 10, a soft water valve according to an embodiment of the present application further includes a valve seat 200, a fixed disk and a movable disk 300. The valve seat 200 is provided with a chamber 210, a water inlet channel 220, a water outlet channel 230, a tank inlet channel 240, a tank outlet channel 250, a salt absorption channel 260 and a backwash channel 270. The fixed disk is arranged in the chamber 210 and is fixed relative to the valve seat 200. The movable disk 300 is located in the chamber 210. The movable disk 300 abuts and cooperates with the fixed disk. The movable disk 300 is rotatable relative to the fixed disk. When the movable disk 300 rotates relative to the fixed disk, the movable disk 300 and the valve seat 200 define a service waterway, a salt absorption waterway, a bypass waterway, a backwash waterway and a water supply waterway. Through the water inlet channel 220, the water outlet channel 230, the tank inlet channel 240, the tank outlet channel 250, the salt absorption channel 260 and the backwash channel 270, the soft water valve realizes the control of multiple water channels, and different water channels can be selected as needed, such as the service water channel, the salt absorption water channel, the bypass water channel, the backwash water channel and the water supply water channel; through the cooperation of the movable disk 300 and the fixed disk, the movable disk 300 can be rotated relative to the fixed disk, and can be adjusted and controlled as needed. By switching the water channels, different functions and uses can be realized to meet different needs, so that the soft water valve has flexibility and can adapt to the needs of different water quality and usage environment.

[0105] In this embodiment, the soft water valve further includes a valve cover 500 , which is detachably connected to the valve seat 200 and covers the chamber 210 , thereby having a simple structure and good protection performance.

[0106] 5 , 6 and 8 , in an embodiment of the present application, the valve seat 200 is provided with a support structure 410, the support structure 410 is located in the chamber 210, the fixed plate is provided on one side of the support structure 410, and the movable plate 300 is provided on the other side of the fixed plate. The radial plane of the support structure 410 is provided with a plurality of cavities, and the plurality of cavities are used for switching the waterways; wherein, the shapes of the support structure 410 and the fixed plate are adapted to each other, and the fixed plate is fixed relative to the support structure 410. Through the above-mentioned arrangement, since multiple cavities are concentrated on the support structure 410, the overall structure is more compact. The state of the water channel can be switched by simply rotating the movable disc 300 relative to the support structure 410, which is convenient and quick. Secondly, concentrating multiple cavities on the support structure 410 can help reduce the manufacture of additional components. Centrally arranging the cavities can reduce the number of components, simplify the manufacturing process, and reduce assembly costs, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the soft water valve. At the same time, the presence of the support structure 410 can also improve the overall strength and stability of the soft water valve, ensuring its normal operation and use. In addition, by arranging a fixed disc between the movable disc 300 and the support structure 410, the movable disc 300 cooperates with the fixed disc to prevent the support structure 410 from being worn, thereby improving the sealing and stability under different water channel states.

[0107] 5 , 6 and 8 , in an embodiment of the present application, the support structure 410 is evenly provided with a plurality of areas along its circumferential direction, and the plurality of cavities include a water inlet chamber 411 , a water outlet chamber 412 , a salt absorption chamber 413 , a backwash chamber 414 , a bypass chamber 415 and a diversion chamber 416 , and a salt absorption chamber 413 and a backwash chamber 414 are provided in one of the areas. By adopting the above structure, the salt absorption chamber 413 and the backwash chamber 414 are provided in the same area, the number of other cavities is reduced, and the structure is more compact, which is conducive to making the support structure 410 smaller in radial dimension, and then conducive to reducing the volume of the valve seat 200, and then reducing the volume of the valve seat 200, thereby reducing the overall volume of the soft water valve.

[0108] Specifically, referring to Figures 5 and 6, in the embodiment of the present application, the brine absorption chamber 413 is arranged near the centerline H of the support structure 410, and the backwash chamber 414 is arranged away from the centerline H of the support structure 410. It can be understood that the brine absorption chamber 413 is located inwardly of the support structure 410, and the backwash chamber 414 is located outwardly of the support structure 410. Through this arrangement, the brine absorption flow rate is relatively small relative to the backwash flow rate according to flow rate requirements, which is convenient for manufacturing and processing, and facilitates the operation of the soft water valve.

[0109] 5 and 6 , in the embodiment of the present application, the opening area of ​​the salt absorption chamber 413 is smaller than the opening area of ​​the backwash chamber 414. Through the above arrangement, the requirements of both salt absorption flow and backwash flow are adapted, and the structure is relatively reasonable.

[0110] It will be appreciated that, with reference to Figures 5 and 6, in the embodiment of the present application, the support structure 410 and the valve seat 200 are integrally injection molded. This integrated structure, formed through design and processing during the manufacturing process, provides greater structural strength and stability, reduces the number of connection points between components, and thereby reduces the risk of loosening or wear. Of course, the support structure 410 can also be a separate structure from the valve seat 200, and the support structure 410 and the valve seat 200 can be fixedly connected by means of clamping, bolting, welding, or the like.

[0111] 5 and 6 , in the embodiment of the present application, the support structure 410 is a support column protruding from the chamber 210. This arrangement prevents direct contact between the fixed plate and the bottom wall of the chamber 210, further improves the structural strength of the support structure 410, and facilitates assembly and removal of the fixed plate from the chamber 210, making operation more convenient.

[0112] Referring to Figures 5 and 6 , in the embodiment of the present application, the support column has a circular cross-section, with multiple regions arranged in a fan-shaped pattern. This circular cross-section provides a more uniform support force, increasing the strength and rigidity of the support column. The circular cross-section geometry also prevents excessive local pressure, reducing the risk of deformation and damage to the support column. Furthermore, the fan-shaped distribution of regions allows for a more rational arrangement of multiple cavities, enabling the dynamic disc 300 to achieve the desired waterway state with just one rotation relative to the support structure 410. This results in a more compact structure, easier operation, and a reduced size for the soft water valve. It should be noted that the centerline H of the support structure coincides with its center.

[0113] 5 and 6 , in the embodiment of the present application, the central angles of the brine absorption chamber 413 and the backwash chamber 414 are equal, which further makes the support structure 410 more compact, thereby reducing the volume of the soft water valve.

[0114] 5 and 6 , in the embodiment of the present application, the remaining areas are respectively provided with a water inlet chamber 411, a water outlet chamber 412, a bypass chamber 415 and a diverter chamber 416; a portion of the structure of the water inlet chamber 411 is located in one area, another portion of the structure of the water inlet chamber 411 is located in another adjacent area, a portion of the structure of the diverter chamber 416 is located at the center of the support structure 410, and another portion of the structure of the diverter chamber 416 is located in one area; wherein the diverter chamber 416 and the water inlet chamber 411 are respectively located in two different areas. The above design can provide a larger water inlet flow rate, realize water flow diversion, improve water inlet efficiency and optimize space utilization.

[0115] 5 and 6 , in the embodiment of the present application, the diversion chamber 416 and the salt absorption chamber 413 are both located away from the peripheral wall of the support column, and the water inlet chamber 411 , the water outlet chamber 412 , the backwash chamber 414 and the bypass chamber 415 are all located close to the peripheral wall of the support column.

[0116] 5 and 6 , in this embodiment, the bypass chamber 415 and the water outlet channel 230 are arranged adjacent to each other, which can shorten the path of water from the bypass chamber 415 to the water outlet channel 230 , further making the valve seat 200 narrower in width, thereby reducing the volume of the entire soft water valve.

[0117] 5 and 6, in the embodiment of the present application, a first process chamber 417 and a second process chamber 418 are provided on the support column. Both the first process chamber 417 and the second process chamber 418 extend in the thickness direction of the support column. The first process chamber 417 and a part of the structure of the water inlet chamber 411 are located in the same area. The first process chamber 417 is located between the bypass chamber 415 and the water inlet chamber 411. The second process chamber 418 and a part of the structure of the diverter chamber 416 are located in the same area. The part of the support structure 410 outside the center of the support structure 410 is divided into six equal parts in the circumferential direction. A part of the diverter chamber 416 is a central groove, and another part of the diverter chamber 416 is a fan-shaped groove. The core groove is located at the center of the support structure 410, a part of the structure of the water inlet chamber 411 occupies one equal part, another part of the structure of the water inlet chamber 411 and the first process chamber 417 occupies one equal part, the backwash chamber 414 and the salt absorption chamber 413 occupies one equal part, the bypass chamber 415 occupies one equal part, the fan-shaped groove and the second process chamber 418 occupies one equal part, and the water outlet chamber 412 occupies one equal part. Through the above structure, by dividing the support column equally, the load balance of the support column can be achieved, which is conducive to ensuring that each part is subjected to the same pressure, reducing the load of a single part, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation and stress concentration, improving the stability and safety of the structure, and being conducive to the relatively uniform wall thickness of the support column.

[0118] Specifically, in this embodiment, the central angle of the bypass chamber 415, the central angle of the water outlet chamber 412, the central angle of the salt absorption chamber 413, the central angle of the backwash chamber 414, the central angle of the first process chamber 417, the central angle of the second process chamber 418, the central angle of the fan-shaped groove of the diversion chamber 416 and the central angle of a part of the water inlet chamber 411 are all equal, which is further beneficial to the relatively uniform wall thickness of the support column, facilitates manufacturing and processing, and facilitates demolding.

[0119] 1 and 8 , a fixed plate for a soft water valve according to an embodiment of the present application includes a plate body 100 and a partition structure. The partition structure is provided on the plate body 100 . The partition structure divides the radial plane of the plate body 100 into at least one partition, and a water hole is provided in the partition.

[0120] According to the fixed disk for a soft water valve according to an embodiment of the present application, the radial plane of the disk body 100 is divided into multiple partitions through a partition structure. The design of the fixed disk makes the structure relatively simple and easy to manufacture and process. It can improve the structural strength of the disk body 100, reduce the risk of deformation and breakage, and thus extend the service life of the fixed disk.

[0121] Specifically, referring to Figures 1 and 8, in an embodiment of the present application, there are multiple partitions, each partition is provided with a water hole, and the multiple partitions are arranged around the center line M of the disk body 100, which helps to evenly distribute the load and stress and further improve the structural strength of the disk body 100.

[0122] Regarding the center line M of the tray body 100 , in this embodiment, the outer contour of the tray body 100 is circular, and the center line M of the tray body 100 coincides with the center of the circular tray body 100 .

[0123] 1 and 8 , in the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of water holes are arranged corresponding to the cavities on the support structure 410 .

[0124] Specifically, referring to Figures 1 and 8, in an embodiment of the present application, the separation structure includes a central rib 111, multiple first ribs 112 and multiple second ribs 113. The central rib 111 is located at the center of the disk body 100, and the multiple first ribs 112 are spaced and evenly arranged around the central rib 111. The first end of the first rib 112 is connected to the central rib 111, and the second end of the first rib 112 is connected to the peripheral wall of the disk body 100. The two adjacent first ribs 112 form a partition with the central rib 111, and at least some of the two adjacent first ribs 112 are connected by the second rib 113; wherein, the two adjacent first ribs 112 and the central rib 111 cooperate to form a part of the water hole, and the adjacent first ribs 112, the second ribs 113 and the central rib 111 cooperate to form another part of the water hole. The design of the above-mentioned separation structure helps to realize the water path switching of the soft water valve, and also helps to enhance the stability and durability of the disk body 100. By connecting the first rib 112 and the second rib 113 with the central rib 111, a solid support structure 410 can be formed, thereby enhancing the overall strength and stability of the disk body 100.

[0125] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the plurality of second ribs 113 are arranged spaced apart in the circumferential direction. When arranged spaced apart, two second ribs 113 in the circumferential direction are separated by one partition, which further makes the structural layout of the fixed plate more reasonable and has better stability.

[0126] 1 and 8 , in this embodiment, the plurality of water holes include a fixed salt absorption hole 123, a fixed backwash hole 124, a fixed bypass hole 125, a fixed water inlet hole 121 and a fixed water outlet hole 122. A first through hole is provided on the central rib 111, and a second through hole is formed between some adjacent first ribs 112 and some central ribs 111. The first through hole and the second through hole are connected to form a fixed diversion hole 126; wherein, the fixed diversion hole 126 and the fixed salt absorption hole 123 are both located away from the peripheral wall of the disc body 100, and the fixed water inlet hole 121, the fixed water outlet hole 122, the fixed backwash hole 124 and the fixed bypass hole 125 are all located close to the peripheral wall of the disc body 100. Through the above structure, it is easy to adapt to the support structure 410 and achieve better water path switching. The design helps to achieve the functions of salt absorption, diversion, inlet and outlet, and bypass of the water flow inside the disc 100 through water holes of different positions and types, which can improve the efficiency and performance of the soft water valve and meet different water treatment needs.

[0127] Specifically, referring to Figures 1 and 8, in the embodiment of the present application, the fixed salt absorption hole 123 and the fixed backwash hole 124 are located in the same partition. With the above structure, the fixed salt absorption hole 123 and the fixed salt absorption hole 124 are located in the same area, which reduces the number of other holes, makes the structure more compact, and facilitates a smaller radial size of the fixed plate.

[0128] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the opening area of ​​the fixed salt absorption hole 123 is smaller than the opening area of ​​the fixed backwash hole 124. Through the above arrangement, the requirements of both salt absorption flow and backwash flow are adapted, and the structure is more reasonable.

[0129] In an embodiment of the present application, the salt absorption chamber 413 is used to process the salt water-containing portion when in the salt absorption state. Since the salt concentration in the salt water is relatively high, the opening areas of the salt absorption chamber 413 and the corresponding fixed salt absorption hole 123 are usually smaller, so that the salt absorption process can be carried out more fully, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the water softener; the backwash chamber 414 and the fixed backwash hole 124 are both used to clean the water softener. Their main function is to flush the softening resin assembly 600 with water flow, discharge impurities and pollutants therein, and maintain the cleanliness and high efficiency of the water softener. Since the backwash process requires a large water flow and pressure, its opening area is usually larger, so that pollutants and impurities can be discharged more quickly. Therefore, by setting the opening areas of the salt absorption chamber 413 (fixed salt absorption hole 123) and the backwash chamber 414 (fixed backwash hole 124) to different sizes, the water softener can achieve a more efficient water treatment and cleaning process, thereby improving the performance and service life of the water softener.

[0130] Referring to Figures 1 and 8 , in the embodiment of the present application, a portion of the fixed water inlet hole 121 is located in one partition, while another portion is located in an adjacent partition, circumferentially of the tray body 100. This structure provides a larger water inlet flow rate, improves water inlet efficiency, and optimizes space utilization. It should be noted that the fixed water inlet hole 121 spans two adjacent partitions by partially interrupting one of the second ribs 113.

[0131] Specifically, referring to Figures 1 and 8, in this embodiment, adjacent portions of the first ribs 112, second ribs 113, and center rib 111 cooperate to form first process holes 127. First process holes 127 are located in the same partition as a portion of the fixed water inlet hole 121. Providing first process holes 127 helps save material, facilitates alignment with the first process cavity 417 of the support structure 410, and facilitates demolding and manufacturing.

[0132] Specifically, in this embodiment, some adjacent first ribs 112, second ribs 113 and the peripheral wall of the disk body 100 cooperate to form a second process hole 128, and the first process hole 127 and the second through hole are located in the same partition, which fully utilizes the fixed disk area, can make the fixed disk structure more compact, save materials and reduce weight, and improve the structural strength and stability of the fixed disk.

[0133] 1 , 4 , and 8 , in the embodiment of the present application, a sealing gasket 420 is provided between the support structure 410 and the fixed plate to improve the sealing performance between the two. The sealing gasket 420 can also provide a certain friction force between the support structure 410 and the fixed plate, thereby preventing the fixed plate from rotating relative to the support structure 410 and improving operational stability. It should be noted that the sealing gasket 420 has a sealed water inlet hole 421, a sealed water outlet hole 422, a sealed salt absorption hole 423, a sealed backwash hole 424, a sealed bypass hole 425, a sealed diversion hole 426, a sealed first process hole 427, and a sealed second process hole 428 corresponding to the support structure 410.

A fixing structure is provided on the inner wall of the chamber 210 of the valve seat 200 , and the positioning structure is engaged with the fixing structure to limit the circumferential rotation of the fixed disk relative to the support structure 410 , thereby improving the reliability and stability of the operation of the soft water valve.

[0135] 1 , 5 and 6 , in the present embodiment, the positioning structure includes a first positioning portion 131 , a second positioning portion 132 and a third positioning portion 133 , which are spaced apart on the outer peripheral wall of the fixed plate body; the fixing structure includes a first fixing portion 211 , a second fixing portion 212 and a third fixing portion 213 , the first positioning portion 131 and the first fixing portion 211 are snap-fitted together, the second positioning portion 132 and the second fixing portion 212 are snap-fitted together, the third positioning portion 133 and the third fixing portion 213 are snap-fitted together, the second positioning portion 132 and the third positioning portion 133 are all configured as positioning grooves, the first fixing portion 211 , the second fixing portion 212 and the third fixing portion 213 are all configured as fixing protrusions, which are snap-fitted together with the positioning grooves, have a simple structure, are easy to disassemble, and play a fool-proof role.

[0136] 1, 5, and 6, the circumferential dimensions of the first positioning portion 131, the second positioning portion 132, and the third positioning portion 133 are inconsistent with each other, and the circumferential dimensions of the first fixing portion 211, the second fixing portion 212, and the third fixing portion 213 are inconsistent with each other, further preventing incorrect or reverse installation and enhancing foolproofing. Specifically, the widths of the positioning grooves of the first positioning portion 131, the second positioning portion 132, and the third positioning portion 133 are inconsistent.

[0137] In this embodiment, the first positioning portion 131, the second positioning portion 132 and the third positioning portion 133 are integrally injection molded with the disc body 100. The integral injection molding design can reduce the number of parts of the soft water valve and simplify the structure of the entire soft water valve, thereby reducing production costs and reducing the risk of failure of the soft water valve during use.

[0138] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fixed plate is made of ceramic. Ceramic, a material with excellent corrosion resistance, can be used stably and long-term in various acidic and alkaline environments, effectively resisting corrosion and extending its service life. Furthermore, because the ceramic surface is smooth and non-adherent, the fixed plate is relatively resistant to contamination during operation, reducing cleaning frequency, lowering maintenance costs, and ensuring the continued efficient operation of the water softener. Furthermore, ceramic has high hardness and strength, and can withstand significant pressure and impact, enabling the ceramic fixed plate to operate stably in the water softener and resist deformation or breakage. Of course, in some embodiments, the fixed plate can also be made of other materials, such as plastic.

[0139] In the embodiment of the present application, the movable disc 300 is made of ceramic, which has excellent corrosion resistance and can be used stably for a long time in various acidic and alkaline environments. It can effectively resist corrosion and extend its service life. Secondly, because the surface of the ceramic material is smooth and not easy to adhere to substances, the fixed disc is relatively less susceptible to contamination during operation, which can reduce the cleaning frequency of the movable disc 300, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure the continuous and efficient operation of the water softener. In addition, the ceramic material has high hardness and strength and can withstand large pressure and impact. This allows the ceramic movable disc 300 to operate stably in the water softener and is not easily deformed or damaged. Of course, in some embodiments, the movable disc 300 can also be made of other materials, such as plastic.

[0140] In the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figures 8 and 10, the soft water valve also includes a driving mechanism, which includes a driving motor 910, a driving gear 920, a driven gear 930 and a transmission shaft 940.

The driving motor 910 is fixedly connected to the driving gear 920 via the output shaft, and transmits the rotational torque of the driving motor 910 to the driving gear 920. The driven gear 930 is meshed with the driving gear 920 for transmission, so that the input energy of the driving motor 910 can be effectively converted into kinetic energy of the transmission shaft 940, thereby driving the movable plate 300 to rotate; the meshing transmission between the driving gear 920 and the driven gear 930 can provide a stable transmission ratio and transmission efficiency, ensuring stability and reliability during the transmission process.

[0141] Specifically, in this embodiment, referring to Figures 8 and 10, the above-mentioned driving mechanism also includes a blocking cover 950 and a control panel 960, the moving disk 300 and the transmission shaft 940 are snap-fitted together, and the blocking cover 950 is externally mounted on the transmission shaft 940, and the blocking cover 950 abuts against the upper side of the transmission shaft 940 to limit the movement of the transmission shaft 940 back to the moving disk 300. A plurality of sensing positions are provided on the control panel 960, and a sensing element that is inductively matched with the sensing position is provided on the driven gear 930. When the driven gear 930 rotates relative to the control panel 960, the sensing position and the sensing element are inductively matched, thereby switching the water channel state.

[0143] 2 and 3 , in the embodiment of the present application, the movable disc 300 is provided with a dynamic diverter groove 310, a first opening 320, a second opening 330, and a third opening 340. The movable disc 300 is provided with an annular groove 350 and a plurality of water inlet grooves 360. The annular groove 350 is arranged around the center of the movable disc 300, and the plurality of water inlet grooves 360 are arranged at intervals around the annular groove 350. The water inlet grooves 360 are connected to the annular groove 350, and the first opening 320, the second opening 330, and the third opening 340 are all connected to the annular groove 350. With the above structure, when the movable disc 300 rotates relative to the support structure 410, the dynamic diverter groove 310, the first opening 320, the second opening 330, and the third opening 340 correspond to different areas on the support structure 410, thereby enabling the water softener to have the following three states: service state, salt absorption state, bypass state, backwash state, and water replenishment state. This structure is reasonable and has a good water inlet effect.

[0144] 5 and 6 , in this embodiment, an outer wall of the support structure 410 and an inner wall of the chamber 210 of the valve seat 200 are spaced apart to form a water inlet gap. The water inlet gap is arranged around the support structure 410, and the water inlet gap is communicated with the water inlet cavity 411 of the support structure 410, and the water inlet gap is communicated with the water inlet groove 360 ​​of the movable disc 300. The raw water reaches the water inlet gap through the water inlet channel 220, reaches the annular groove 350 through the multiple water inlet grooves 360 of the movable disc 300, and enters the water inlet cavity 411 through the annular groove 350, which not only disperses the water inlet pressure, but also presses the movable disc 300 and the fixed disc together by water pressure.

[0145] 2 and 3 , in an embodiment of the present application, the movable disk 300 is further provided with a plurality of blind holes. The plurality of blind holes, the first through opening 320 , the second through opening 330 and the third through hole are arranged around the center line N of the movable disk 300 to improve the structural strength of the movable disk 300 .

[0146] Regarding the center line N of the movable disk 300 , in this embodiment, the outer contour of the movable disk 300 is circular, and the center line N of the movable disk 300 coincides with the center of the circular movable disk 300 .

[0147] 5 and 6 , in this embodiment, a blocking portion 419 is provided on the support structure 410. The blocking portion 419 is located between the bypass chamber 415 and the water inlet chamber 411. The first process chamber 417 is provided on the blocking portion 419. The blocking portion 419 can be used to isolate the chamber positions and prevent water from being transferred between different chamber positions, thereby avoiding water leakage when the bypass chamber 415 is not needed to discharge water. For example, when softening water in the service state, the blocking portion 419 is provided, which is conducive to extending the distance between the bypass chamber 415 and the water inlet chamber 411. Since the blocking portion 419, the fixed plate and the movable plate 300 are abutted and matched in sequence, the raw water cannot directly pass through the water inlet gap, the water inlet chamber 411 and the dynamic diversion groove 310 into the bypass chamber 415, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the water softener.

[0148] Of course, in some embodiments, two adjacent cavities of the other parts may also be provided with a blocking portion 419 .

[0149] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 10, in the embodiment of the present application, a check valve 280 and a flow meter 290 are provided on the valve seat 200, and the water outlet channel 230 and the tank outlet channel 250 are connected via the check valve 280, so that the tank outlet channel 250 to the water outlet channel 230 is unidirectional and prevents the liquid from flowing through the bypass chamber 415 to the tank outlet channel 250; the orthographic projections of the salt absorption channel 260 and the backwash chamber 414 overlap, so as to facilitate the control of multiple water channels, making the design of the support structure 410 more reasonable, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the soft water valve.

[0150] In this embodiment, the salt absorption and sewage discharge device 800 includes an ejector assembly 810, a check ball assembly 820 and a sewage discharge assembly 830.

These positioning portions 111A, 112A, and 113A are spaced apart and arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the fixed disk body 100A. Because the fourth positioning portion 111A, the fifth positioning portion 112A, and the sixth positioning portion 113A are located at different positions on the fixed disk body 100A, multi-directional positioning and stable control of the fixed disk can be achieved. This design prevents unnecessary rotation or displacement of the fixed disk during operation, ensuring the stability and reliability of the soft water valve.

[0162] When the water softener is in the service state and making water, referring to Figure 11, the first port 320, the fixed water outlet hole 122 and the water outlet chamber 412 are correspondingly connected, the second port 330, the second process hole 128 and the second process chamber 418 are correspondingly connected, the third port 340 is correspondingly connected with a part of the structure of the water inlet chamber 411, and the other part of the structure of the water inlet chamber 411 corresponds to the partial blind hole of the movable disk 300, wherein the remaining cavity positions and the water holes are closed, the blocking portion 419, the fixed disk and the movable disk 300 are in contact and tightly matched in sequence, therefore, the original Water reaches the water inlet gap and the water inlet groove 360 ​​through the water inlet channel 220, reaches the first port 320 through the multiple water inlet grooves 360 of the movable plate 300, reaches the tank inlet channel 240 through the fixed water outlet hole 122 and the water outlet cavity 412, and then reaches the lower part of the resin tank in the space where the resin body 630 is located outside the central tube 620 through the water channel component 700, the upper part of the resin tank and the resin body 630. After softening, it reaches the tank outlet channel 250 through the central tube 620 and reaches the water outlet channel 230 through the check valve 280.

[0163] When the water softener is in the salt absorption state, referring to Figure 12, a part of the structure of the first port 320 is connected to the fan-shaped groove of the fixed diverter hole 126 and the diverter cavity 416, and another part of the structure of the first port 320 is connected to the second process hole 128 and the second process cavity 418. The second port 330 and the third port 340 are both connected to the corresponding fixed water inlet hole 121 and the water inlet cavity 411. A part of the structure of the dynamic diverter groove 310 is connected to the fixed salt absorption hole 123 and the salt absorption cavity 413, and another part of the structure of the dynamic diverter groove 310 is connected to the fixed bypass hole 125 and the bypass cavity 415. The raw water enters the chamber 210 of the valve seat 200 through the water inlet channel 220, and is filled with the water inlet cavity 411 and the diverter cavity 415 through the water inlet gap and the water inlet groove 360. Flow cavity 416, when the diversion cavity 416 of the support structure 410 is filled with raw water, the raw water is divided into two water paths through the dynamic diversion groove 310, one of which reaches the salt absorption cavity 413, and the other part of the raw water reaches the bypass cavity 415. The ejector assembly 810 generates negative pressure to suck in the salt water and mix the salt water and raw water into a mixed salt solution through the ejector assembly 810. At this time, the check ball assembly 820 is opened, and the salt water reaches the central pipe 620 through the ejector assembly 810 and the check ball assembly 820, and contacts the resin body 630 through the central pipe 620 and the lower part of the resin tank outside the central pipe 620 for regeneration. Finally, the waste water is discharged through the upper part of the resin tank and the sewage discharge assembly 830, and the raw water in the other bypass cavity 415 is discharged through the water outlet channel 230 to realize water supply during regeneration.

[0164] When the water softener is in the bypass state, referring to Figure 13, the first opening 320 and the second opening 330 are correspondingly connected to the fixed water inlet hole 121 and the water inlet chamber 411, the third opening 340 is correspondingly connected to the fixed bypass hole 125 and the bypass chamber 415, and the remaining cavity positions and water holes are closed. The raw water enters the chamber 210 of the valve seat 200, fills the water inlet chamber 411 and the water inlet gap, and reaches the bypass chamber 415 through multiple water inlet grooves 360 and the third opening 340, and is transported to the water outlet channel 230 through the bypass chamber 415 to realize water supply.

[0165] When the water softener is in the backwash state, referring to Figure 14, the first port 320 is connected to the fixed water inlet hole 121 and the water inlet chamber 411, the second port 330 is connected to the bypass chamber 415, and the third port 340 is connected to the fixed backwash hole 124 and the backwash chamber 414. The remaining cavities and water holes are closed, and the raw water enters the water inlet channel 220 and enters the chamber 210 of the valve seat 200. It is divided into two paths of raw water through the water inlet gap and multiple water inlet grooves 360. One path of raw water enters the backwash chamber 414, enters the central tube 620 of the resin assembly 600 through the backwash channel 270, and contacts the bottom of the resin through the lower part of the resin tank outside the central tube 620 for backwashing. The other path of raw water reaches the bypass chamber 415 and flows out through the water outlet channel 230 to realize backwash water supply.

[0166] 15 , a portion of the first port 320 and the salt absorption hole are in corresponding communication with the salt absorption chamber 413 . The first port 320 and another portion of the structure are in corresponding communication with the backwash chamber 414 . The second port 330 is in corresponding communication with the water outlet chamber 412 . The third port 340 is in corresponding communication with the second process chamber 418 . Raw water enters the water inlet gap in the chamber 210 of the valve seat 200 through the water inlet channel 220 , passes through the water inlet groove 360 ​​of the movable disc 300 , reaches the first port 320 and the salt absorption chamber 413 , and then passes through the ejector assembly 810 to reach the salt tank A for replenishment. The raw water that reaches the water outlet chamber 412 can reach the upper portion of the resin tank through the tank inlet channel 240 , be softened by the resin, and then pass through the lower portion of the resin tank to the central pipe 620 . Furthermore, it passes through the tank outlet channel 250 and the check valve 280 to reach the water outlet channel 230 , achieving uninterrupted water supply. The remaining chambers and holes are closed. It should be noted that, in the water replenishment state, the check ball assembly 820 has a large water pressure on its upper part, so the ball of the check ball assembly 820 is in the position of closing the check ball assembly 820. Therefore, the water passing through the ejector assembly 810 will not reach the central tube 620 of the resin assembly 600, and the water passing through the salt absorption chamber 413 can only reach the salt box A.

[0167] When the water softener is in the slow washing state, referring to Figure 16, a part of the structure of the first opening 320 is connected to the fan-shaped groove of the fixed diverter hole 126 and the diverter cavity 416, and another part of the structure of the first opening 320 is connected to the second process hole 128 and the second process cavity 418. The second opening 330 and the third opening 340 are both connected to the corresponding fixed water inlet hole 121 and the water inlet cavity 411. A part of the structure of the dynamic diverter groove 310 is connected to the fixed salt absorption hole 123 and the salt absorption cavity 413. Another part of the structure of the dynamic diverter groove 310 is connected to the fixed bypass hole 125 and the bypass cavity 415. The remaining cavity positions and hole positions are closed. The raw water enters the chamber 210 of the valve seat 200 through the water inlet channel 220, and is filled with the water inlet chamber 411 and the diverter chamber 416 through the water inlet gap and the water inlet groove 360. When the diverter chamber 416 of the support structure 410 is filled with raw water, the raw water is divided into two water paths through the dynamic diverter groove 310. Since the ejector assembly 810 has absorbed all the brine at this time and is disconnected from the brine tank A, one of the raw water paths reaches the brine absorption chamber 413, the check ball assembly 820 opens, and the raw water reaches the center pipe 620 through the ejector assembly 810 and the check ball assembly 820. The raw water contacts the resin through the center pipe 620 and the lower part of the resin tank outside the center pipe 620 for slow washing. Finally, the waste water is discharged through the upper part of the resin tank and the sewage discharge assembly 830. The raw water in the bypass chamber 415 of the other path is discharged through the water outlet channel 230, achieving uninterrupted water supply.

The other parts of the structures of the two are connected accordingly. The other part of the structure of the second opening 330 is connected with a part of the structure of the fixed water inlet hole 121 and the water inlet chamber 411. The third opening 340 is connected with a part of the structure of the fixed water inlet hole 121 and the water inlet chamber 411. After a part of the raw water reaches the chamber 210 of the valve seat 200 through the water inlet channel 220, it reaches the water outlet chamber 412 through the water inlet gap and the water inlet groove 360, and reaches the area where the resin body 630 of the resin assembly 600 is located through the water outlet chamber 412 and the tank inlet channel 240. After being softened, it reaches the check valve 280. The other part of the raw water reaches the backwash chamber 414 and reaches the water outlet through the backwash channel 270. The two parts of water are mixed.

[0169] 15 and 16 , in an embodiment of the present application, in the slow washing state, the channel between the salt box A and the ejector assembly 810 is closed, so that the resin assembly 600 is slowly flushed with the original mixed salt solution and the newly introduced raw water; in the mixed water state, the hardness of the soft water is adjusted.
