It should be noted that during the refilling of the salt tank, the external pipe connected to the water outlet 41 is closed, so that the tap water does not flow out through the water outlet chamber 4.

(3) The regeneration working state of the resin tank is as follows: with reference to fig. 6, the first communication port 12 is closed, the second communication port 13 is opened, and the water inlet chamber 1 is communicated with the second transition chamber 3; the salt water port 521 is opened, and the salt tank water outlet pipe 52 is communicated with the second transition cavity 3; at the same time, the sewage outlet 27 is opened; tap water flows into the second transition cavity 3 through the water inlet cavity, strong brine flows into the second transition cavity 3 through the salt box water outlet pipe 52 to be converged with the tap water, then flows through the resin tank and the first transition cavity 2 in sequence, is discharged from the sewage outlet 27, and realizes the regeneration of the resin tank in the process that the brine reversely flows through the resin tank.

To further facilitate understanding, a specific exemplary application scenario is provided below to illustrate the operation of the present solution:

setting water replenishing time of the salt tank and regeneration time of the resin tank from two points to three points in the morning according to daily water consumption conditions, wherein the states of all control valves are automatically switched when the two points in the morning are reached, and the integrated waterway assembly enters a water replenishing working state of the salt tank firstly; after the water supplement of the salt tank is completed, the control valve is automatically switched to enter a regeneration working state of the resin tank; and after the set time is reached, automatically switching the control valve again to enter a softened water working state.

In summary, in the integrated water path assembly of the present embodiment, the water inlet cavity 1, the first transition water cavity, the second transition water cavity, the water outlet cavity, the salt tank water replenishing pipe 51, the salt tank water outlet pipe 52 and other structures are integrated in the housing 100, and control valves are disposed at the communication positions of the cavities, so that the flow direction of water can be changed by controlling the on/off of the valves, and further the working state of the water softener can be switched. The pipeline of this scheme integrated level is high, simple structure, the mouth of pipe is few, control advantage such as easy.

With reference to fig. 2, the first transition chamber 2 and the second transition chamber 3 are respectively located at the left and right sides of the water inlet chamber 1; the first valve and the second valve are connected through a connecting rod 63, so that the linkage control of the first valve and the second valve is realized; when the first communication port 12 is opened, the second communication port 13 is closed; when the first communication port 12 is closed, the second communication port 13 is opened.

Preferably, the connecting rod 63 is capable of simultaneously providing a positive thrust to the first valve and the second valve, i.e. the connecting rod 63 needs to be perpendicular to the first valve and the second valve, in which case, the first valve and the second valve need to have a certain overlap ratio, i.e. the first communication port 12 and the second communication port 13 need to have a certain overlap ratio. More preferably, the axes of the first communication port 12 and the second communication port 13 are aligned, and the link 63 is connected to the center positions of the first valve and the second valve, thereby ensuring thrust balance.

Specifically, see based on the function that required realization when using, there is the interlocking relation in the open-close state of first intercommunication mouth 12 and second intercommunication mouth 13, namely, when first intercommunication mouth 12 is opened, second intercommunication mouth 13 must be closed, on the contrary, when second intercommunication mouth 13 is opened, first intercommunication mouth 12 must be closed, so this scheme passes through connecting rod 63 with first valve and second valve and connects the coordinated control who realizes between each valve, under the condition that satisfies the water path control demand, only need for two valves set up a control driving piece alright, thereby product equipment has been simplified, the equipment cost is reduced.

The first valve and the second valve need to be disposed on different sides of the first communicating port 12 and the second communicating port 13, so that when the first valve and the second valve move in the same direction, one valve is closed, and the other valve is opened. Specifically, when the first valve is provided on the left side of the first communication port 12, the second valve needs to be provided on the right side of the second communication port 13, whereas when the first valve is provided on the right side of the first communication port 12, the second valve needs to be provided on the left side of the second communication port 13.

In some embodiments, the water outlet chamber 4 is disposed on a side of the second transition chamber 3 away from the water inlet chamber 1, the third communication port 42 is axially overlapped with the first communication port 12 and the second communication port 13, a third valve 62 is disposed at the third communication port 42, and the connecting rod 63 extends through the second transition chamber 3 and is connected with the third valve 62, so as to realize linkage control of opening and closing of the third communication port 42. Note that, when the first communication port 12 is opened, the third communication port 42 needs to be opened simultaneously.

In order to realize the driving of the first valve and the second valve, in some embodiments, a piston plate 64 is disposed in the first transition chamber 2, the connecting rod 63 extends into the first transition chamber 2 and is connected to the piston plate 64, a first space 22 and a second space 23 which are communicated with each other are respectively formed on the left and right sides of the piston plate 64, the first communication port 12 is communicated with the first space 22, a return spring 65 is disposed between the piston plate 64 and the inner wall of the first transition chamber 2, and the return spring 65 is used for pushing the piston plate 64 and the connecting rod 63 to integrally move, so that the first communication port 12 is kept in an open state; the sewage draining outlet 27 is communicated with the second space 23, liquid in the second space 23 flows outwards by opening the sewage draining outlet 27, so that a pressure difference is formed between the second space 23 and the first space 22, the piston plate 64 and the connecting rod 63 are pushed to move integrally by overcoming the elastic force of the return spring 65, and the first communication port 12 is switched from an opening state to a closing state.

Specifically, referring to fig. 4 and 5, in the softened water working state and the salt tank water replenishing working state, the blowdown valve 28 is closed, the water pressures at the two sides of the first space 22 and the second space 23 in the first transition chamber 2 are balanced, and under the elastic force of the return spring 65, the control valves of the communication ports move to the limit position to the left, at this time, the first valve is opened, and the second valve is closed; in the regeneration operation state of the resin tank, the blowdown valve 28 is opened, water in the second space 23 flows out from the blowdown port 27 in the first transition chamber 2, and because the water in the first space 22 cannot be rapidly supplemented into the second space 23 at this time, the water pressure of the first space 22 is greater than that of the second space 23, so that the piston plate 64 is pushed rightward by the pressure difference of the two spaces against the elastic force of the return spring 65, the valves are switched to the first valve, and the second valve is opened.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the piston plate 64 and the return spring 65 are provided as the opening/closing power for driving the first valve and the second valve by using the fluid principle, and it is not necessary to provide an electromagnetic valve that consumes electric power. Therefore, the scheme can reduce the opening and closing energy consumption of the first valve and the second valve, simplify the structure and reduce the equipment cost.

In other implementations, the first valve and the second valve may also be directly solenoid valves.

Further, a booster spring 66 is disposed between the third valve 62 and the inner wall of the water outlet chamber, and the booster spring 66 can boost the piston plate 64 to move when the piston plate 64 moves rightward based on the rightward pushing force of the third valve 62. It should be noted that the elastic force of the assist spring 66 is smaller than that of the return spring 65. The boosting spring 66 arranged in the scheme can be used for adjusting the boosting force which needs to be overcome when the piston plate 64 moves rightwards, and the normal movement of the piston plate 64 is ensured.

Further, a supporting beam 24 is arranged in the first transition chamber 2, a piston mounting position for mounting the piston plate 64 is formed between the supporting beam 24 and the inner wall of the first transition chamber 2, and the piston plate 64 is movably mounted in the piston mounting position; a water passage 25 communicating the first space 22 and the second space 23 is formed between one side of the support beam 24 away from the piston mounting position and the first transition chamber 2.

Specifically, the piston mounting position formed by the enclosure between the support beam 24 and the inner wall of the first transition chamber 2 is exactly matched with the shape of the piston plate 64, for example, when the piston plate 64 is circular, the piston mounting position is exactly a cylindrical chamber; when the piston plate 64 is square, the piston mounting location is exactly a square cavity, subject to the fact that the periphery of the piston plate 64 can be supported and sealed. The width of water passage 25 is much smaller than the size of piston plate 64 to ensure that water in first space 22 cannot be quickly replenished into second space 23 to allow a sufficient pressure differential to develop between first space 22 and second space 23. For example, the ratio of the area of the water passage 25 to the area of the piston plate 64 may be 1: (7 to 20).

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first valve and the second valve are a same valve plate 61, and the valve plate 61 is located between the first communication port 12 and the second communication port 13 in the inlet chamber 1.

Based on the alternative of first intercommunication mouth 12 and second intercommunication mouth 13 is opened and is injectd, this scheme to adopt a valve plate 61 to have realized once more the control to first intercommunication mouth 12 and second intercommunication mouth 13, when satisfying the control demand, simplified equipment, reduced equipment cost. Wherein, when the valve plate 61 abuts against the first communication port 12, the second communication port 13 is communicated; when the valve plate 61 abuts against the second communication port 13, the first communication port 12 is communicated.

With reference to fig. 2 and 3, the second transition chamber 3 includes a venturi conduit 31, a water conduit 32 and a brine conduit 33, the venturi conduit 31 includes an inlet section 311, a contraction section 312 and a diffusion section 313 connected in sequence, the inlet section 311 communicates with the second communication port 13, and the diffusion section 313 communicates with the water conduit 32; the brine pipe 33 is communicated with one side of the diffusion section 313, the salt water gap 521 is arranged between the salt tank water outlet pipe 52 and the brine pipe 33, the brine valve 522 is a one-way valve arranged at the salt water gap 521, and the brine valve 522 only allows the salt tank water outlet pipe 52 to be communicated with the brine pipe 33 in a one-way mode.

Referring to fig. 6, in the regeneration operation state of the resin tank, the blowoff valve 28 is opened, the piston plate 64 moves to the right, the valve plate 61 is driven to move to the right, the first communication port 12 is closed, the second communication port 13 is opened, the water in the water inlet chamber 1 flows into the inlet section 311 of the venturi pipe 31 through the first communication port 12, when the water flow transits from the contraction section 312 to the diffusion section 313, the pressure in the diffusion section 313 is suddenly reduced due to the sudden increase of the fluid area, the pressure in the salt tank is higher than the pressure in the diffusion section 313, the salt valve 522 is pushed open by the pressure difference, and the salt solution in the salt tank flows into the diffusion section 313 through the salt tank outlet pipe 52 and the salt water pipe 33 to join the tap water.

In a similar way, the one-way valve is adopted as the brine valve 522, the opening and closing of the brine valve 522 are controlled by utilizing the fluidics principle, the intervention of external driving force is not needed, the energy consumption is reduced, and the cost is reduced.

Preferably, the brine valve 522 includes a valve ball, the brine pipe 33 is located on the upper side of the brine tank outlet pipe 52, the valve ball is located in the brine pipe 33, and the valve ball blocks the brine port 521 under the action of gravity.

The simplest valve ball is used as the brine valve 522 for controlling the opening and closing of the brine port 521, so that the brine valve has the advantages of low cost, stability and reliability. When the resin tank enters a regeneration working state, the pressure difference between the diffusion section 313 and the salt tank water outlet pipe 52 is only required to be larger than the gravity of the valve ball. It should be noted that the diameter of the valve ball should be smaller than the inner diameter of the brine pipe to ensure the circulation of the brine after opening.

In order to prevent the valve ball from being completely ejected, a limiting protrusion 331 is further disposed on the sidewall of the brine pipe, and the limiting protrusion 331 is used for limiting the ascending height of the valve ball.

In order to ensure the stable installation of the first valve, the second valve and the third valve 62, a partition plate 35 is arranged in the second transition chamber 3, the partition plate 35 is positioned between the inlet section 311 and the water communication pipeline 32 to separate the venturi pipe 31 and the water communication pipeline 32, and the connecting rod 63 penetrates through the partition plate 35 to realize connection with the second valve and the third valve 62 at two ends. Due to the long span between the second valve and the third valve 62, the partition 35 formed in the second transition chamber 3 can provide support for the connecting rod 63 to ensure the stability of the valves, besides the function of dividing the flow passage.

Further, the second transition cavity 3 further includes a balance pipe 36, and two ends of the balance pipe 36 are respectively communicated with the inlet section 311 and the water outlet cavity.

Specifically, in the softened water operating state, the balance pipeline 36 can lead out flowing water in the venturi pipe 31, so as to ensure the water pressure balance at the left and right sides of the valve plate 61, and avoid that the valve plate 61 is pushed rightwards by overhigh water pressure in the venturi pipe 31 to destroy the operating state balance.

In some embodiments, a brine main 5 is further disposed in the housing 100, and the salt tank water supply pipe 51 and the salt tank water outlet pipe 52 are collectively connected to the brine main 5.

Specifically, collect salt case moisturizing pipe 51 and salt case outlet pipe 52 in salt solution main line 5, only need set up a connecting pipe alright between salt case and the water route integrated component to simplify pipeline structure, reduced product cost.

And at the salt case end, moisturizing import and salt solution export can be same salt case interface, need not to set up the branch pipe promptly at the salt case end yet.
