The water sources such as tap water and the like contain excessive calcium and magnesium ions, so that the water quality is hard and the taste is hard, and scale can be accumulated on the water softener to influence the normal operation of equipment. The water softener can well solve the problem of hard water quality. Because of the high utilization rate of the water softener, the resin of the water softener needs to be regenerated frequently. For the resin regeneration of the water softener, the related art mainly includes two types: one is to remind the user to manually use the regenerant to flush the resin at preset intervals, and the other is to automatically use the regenerant to flush the resin at preset intervals to realize resin regeneration. However, the above method ignores the change of the utilization rate of the water softener, and the situation that the resin of the water softener needs to be regenerated but the preset time is not reached may occur, so that the resin cannot be regenerated in time, and the soft water effect of the water softener is deteriorated.
Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for regenerating resin of a water softener, which can timely and automatically regenerate the resin of the water softener, can save labor cost, and can be widely applied to the field of water softeners.
The water softener mainly comprises a water softener shell, a water pipe, a bypass valve, a flushing device, a regenerant, a controller and other main components. The principle of the resin regeneration method of the water softener provided by the embodiment of the application is as follows: the water softener mainly fully contacts water to be softened through resin with an ion exchange function, metal ions in the water are replaced, calcium and magnesium ions in the water are removed, and the water hardness is reduced. The problem of consumption probably is faced to the resin at the in-process water softener of demineralized water, specifically because contain the soft water ion in the resin of water softener, the resin passes through the soft water ion and realizes the soft water function, but along with the increase of water treatment capacity, absorbent impurity is more and more, the adsorption efficiency of resin can reduce gradually, be less than when certain degree the soft water ion will lead to the soft water effect variation of resin, at this moment, need the external regeneration agent that utilizes to wash the resin, let the soft water ion in the regeneration agent adhere to on the resin surface, increase the content of soft water ion in the resin, resume the effect of soft water. In this embodiment, whether the resin of the water softener needs to be regenerated is determined according to the water outlet time and the water outlet amount of the water softener, because the water outlet time and the water outlet amount of the water softener can objectively reflect the use condition of the water softener and reflect the consumption degree of soft water ions on the resin of the water softener, the embodiment of the present application determines whether the water softener needs to be regenerated according to the water outlet time and the water outlet amount of the water softener, thereby effectively reducing the situations that the resin of the water softener needs to be regenerated but cannot be regenerated, and reducing the situations that the soft water effect of the water softener is poor due to the fact that the resin cannot be regenerated.
The method and the device for regenerating the resin of the water softener, the water softener and the storage medium are designed based on the principle.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a hardware structure of a water softener according to embodiments of the present application. In the embodiment of the present application, the water softener may include a processor 1001 (e.g., a Central Processing Unit, CPU), a communication bus 1002, an input port 1003, an output port 1004, and a memory 1005. The communication bus 1002 is used for realizing connection communication among the components; the input port 1003 is used for data input; the output port 1004 is used for data output, the memory 1005 may be a high-speed RAM memory or a non-volatile memory (non-volatile memory), such as a magnetic disk memory, and the memory 1005 may also be a storage device independent of the processor 1001. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the hardware configuration shown in FIG. 1 is not limiting of the present application and may include more or fewer components than those shown, or some components may be combined, or a different arrangement of components.

In fig. 1, the network communication module is mainly used for connecting a server and performing data communication with the server; and the processor 1001 may call the control program of the water softener stored in the memory 1005 and perform the resin regeneration method of the water softener provided in the embodiment of the present application.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for regenerating resin of a water softener according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, the method for regenerating resin of a water softener provided by the present embodiment includes the following steps:
s201, obtaining the water outlet time and the water outlet quantity of the water softener.
In step S201, the water outlet time is the duration of the bypass valve being in the open state, and the water outlet amount is the water outlet amount of the bypass valve in the water outlet time. The bypass valve of the water softener is arranged on the bypass pipe of the water inlet valve pipe section and is used for filling water to balance the water pressure in front of and behind the water inlet valve, so that the water yield of the bypass valve at the position can accurately reflect the water yield of the water softener; similarly, the time of the bypass valve in the open state can also accurately reflect the time of the water softener in the open state, so the duration and the water yield of the bypass valve in the open state can accurately reflect the water outlet time and the water yield of the water softener.
S202, if the water outlet time is greater than or equal to the preset water outlet time and the water outlet amount is greater than or equal to the preset water outlet amount, acquiring the ion concentration of the resin.
In step S202, a preset water outlet time and a preset water outlet amount are set in the present embodiment, where the preset water outlet time is a threshold of the water outlet time, and when the water outlet time exceeds the threshold, it indicates that the operation time of the water softener meets the requirement for regeneration of the water softener resin, and similarly, when the water outlet amount exceeds the threshold, it indicates that the water outlet amount during the operation of the water softener meets the requirement for regeneration of the water softener resin. Therefore, when the water outlet time and the water outlet amount reach the preset water outlet time and the preset water outlet amount, the ion concentration of the resin is obtained. In the embodiment, the water outlet time and the water outlet amount are used as the judgment basis, and when the judgment basis is met, whether the resin of the water softener needs to be regenerated is further judged by utilizing a more specific and direct ion concentration index.
S203, if the ion concentration of the resin is less than the preset ion concentration, regenerating the resin.
In step S203, the obtained ion concentration of the resin is compared with a preset ion concentration, and the function is to determine the magnitude relationship between the actual ion concentration of the resin and the preset ion concentration, and if the actual ion concentration of the resin is less than the preset ion concentration, it indicates that the ion concentration of the resin is low, and regeneration is required.
It should be noted that the ion concentration of the resin in step S203 refers to the ion concentration of the soft water ions in the resin, and thus it can be determined whether the resin needs to be regenerated by obtaining the ion concentration of the soft water ions in the resin. Therefore, obtaining the ion concentration of the resin, and if the ion concentration of the resin is less than the preset ion concentration, the regenerating the resin specifically includes: obtaining the ion concentration of soft water ions of the resin; and if the ion concentration of the soft water ions of the resin is less than the preset ion concentration, regenerating the resin.
In addition, the method for acquiring the ion concentration in step S203 includes, but is not limited to: the ion concentration is obtained by adopting an ion concentration meter, specifically, the ion concentration meter is arranged in the soft water resin, and the ion concentration meter can detect the concentration value of specific ions in the resin, for example, when the soft water ions of the resin of the water softener are sodium ions, the detection target corresponding to the ion concentration meter is the concentration of the sodium ions. The methods for obtaining the ion concentration are many, and the methods for obtaining the ion concentration all belong to the methods for obtaining the ion concentration of the resin in the embodiments of the present application, and the description thereof will not be made too much.
Optionally, after the resin is regenerated, the water softener may be prompted to complete the regeneration of the resin by at least one of an indicator light, a sound, or a displayed icon. The prompting object can be a user or a related maintenance person, and can send a prompting message that the water softener completes resin regeneration to the user through a communication module of the water softener to inform the user that the water softener completes resin regeneration.
The foregoing embodiments provide a method for regenerating water softener resin according to the water outlet time and water outlet quantity of the water softener, however, the water softener resin regeneration requires continuous flushing of the water softener for a long time (e.g., three hours) using a regenerant, and the water softener will be in an inoperable state during the flushing process, accompanied by a certain degree of sound, which will result in the water softener being unusable for a long time if the water softener resin is regenerated at a peak of its use, affecting user experience. Therefore, it is necessary to control the regeneration of the water softener according to the current time period, and the present application also provides a method capable of determining whether to perform regeneration according to the current time, which is as follows:
fig. 3 is a flowchart of a method for determining whether to perform resin regeneration according to a current time according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, the method for regenerating resin of a water softener provided by the present embodiment includes the following steps:
s301, determining that the ion concentration of the resin is smaller than the preset ion concentration.
S302, judging whether the current time is within a preset time range.
In step S302, the current time refers to the current time, for example, when the current time is 12 noon: when 00, the current time is 12:00. the preset time range is a time range consisting of two moments, for example, the preset time range may be 9 a.m.: 00 to 3 pm, which represents the operation in which the water softener can perform resin regeneration within a preset time range of 9 am to 3 pm. The preset time in this embodiment can be flexibly set as required, for example, when the water softener is used in a certain time period in the afternoon at a peak time, the preset time range can be set in this time period, the time setting can be flexibly changed by the user according to actual needs or the change situation of use, the control authority of the user on the water softener is improved, and the influence on the normal use of the water softener by the user is reduced while the regeneration of the water softener resin is realized.
And S303, if the current time is within the preset time range, regenerating the resin.
And S304, if the current time is not within the preset time range, waiting until the current time is within the preset time range.
In step S304, even if the resin of the water softener needs to be regenerated according to the water usage time and the water usage amount in the previous embodiment, the resin of the water softener will not be regenerated when the current time is not within the preset time range, but the regeneration of the resin of the water softener is automatically started after waiting until the time is within the preset time range. The step has the effect that if the water softener needs to be subjected to resin regeneration and is just in the peak period of the use of the water softener, the regeneration of the water softener resin may cause that a user cannot normally use the water softener, and the user experience is reduced, so that the situation that the current time is not within the preset time range and the resin regeneration needs to be performed on the water softener until the current time is within the preset time range is met.
In the method for regenerating resin of a water softener provided by the embodiment of the application, the regeneration of the resin is an important step for completing the regeneration of the resin of the water softener, and the method is as follows:
FIG. 4 is a flow chart of a specific method for regenerating resin according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, the method for regenerating resin of a water softener provided by the present embodiment includes the following steps:
s401, opening the flushing device.
In step S401, the flushing device is a functional device capable of storing the regenerant and releasing the regenerant, and also capable of giving a certain ejection speed to the regenerant based on a certain pressure during the release of the regenerant, thereby improving the efficiency of flushing the resin to regenerate the resin. The flushing device comprises the following components: the regeneration device comprises a storage unit, a regenerant, a switch and a power valve, wherein the storage unit can be a container for storing the regenerant; the switch is connected with the power valve and used for switching the power valve according to the instruction of the controller; the power valve, when opened, is capable of releasing the regenerant stored in the storage unit. And after the flushing device is turned on, specifically, the water softener controller controls the flushing device to turn on a switch after receiving the signal.
S402, flushing the resin by the regenerant in the flushing device.
In step S402, the resin is flushed by the regenerant in the flushing device, specifically: after the switch of the flushing device is turned on, the controller controls a power valve, and the power valve can draw the regenerant from the storage unit and spray the regenerant to the resin from the flushing device based on certain pressure so as to flush the resin. And after receiving a command of finishing the flushing, closing a switch and a power valve of the flushing device, and finishing the flushing.
Alternatively, the manner of flushing the resin with the regenerant in the flushing device includes, but is not limited to: the resin is flushed by flowing a regenerant through the resin in a direction opposite to the direction of flow of water through the resin during operation. The flow direction of water flowing through the resin during operation refers to a specific direction of water which needs to be softened during normal operation of the water softener and flows through the resin, for example, when water which needs to be softened during normal operation flows from the side A to the side B of the resin of the water softener, and when the resin is washed by using the regenerant, the flow direction of the regenerant can be from the side A to the side B, namely, the resin is washed along the flow direction of the water during normal operation, or from the side B to the side A, namely, the resin is washed against the flow direction of the water during normal operation. The effect of this embodiment is that the direction of flushing can be selected, for example, forward flushing direction can be used in a period of time, and reverse flushing can be used in the next period of time, and the direction is changed from time to time, so that the flushing process for regenerating resin is used to flush out solid impurities on the surface of the resin, and the cleanliness of the resin is improved.
It should be noted that the regenerant in the foregoing examples includes at least one of a sodium cation exchanger and a hydrogen cation exchanger.
Optionally, the present application further provides a control method for controlling a water softener according to temperature, fig. 5 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a water softener according to temperature according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 5, the method specifically includes:
s501, acquiring the temperature of the water softener;
s502, if the temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature or the temperature is less than the second preset temperature, the water softener is closed.
In this embodiment, the first preset temperature is a threshold value for the water softener to measure whether the temperature is too high, and is generally a higher temperature value. For example, the first preset temperature may be the highest temperature that the current water softener and its components can bear when working normally, which is measured, calculated and tested; similarly, the second predetermined temperature is a threshold for the water softener to measure whether the temperature is too low, and is typically a lower temperature value. For example, the first preset temperature may be the lowest temperature of the current water softener and its components, which is measured and tested, and can work normally. When the temperature of the water softener is lower than or equal to a first preset temperature, the temperature of the water softener is over high, and the over high temperature can cause a series of problems such as overheating of a water pipe and damage of parts, so that the water leakage risk of the water softener is increased, even the water softener explodes, and finally the water softener cannot work normally and casualties can be caused; similarly, when the temperature of the water softener is less than or equal to the second preset temperature, the temperature of the water softener is too low, and the water pipe of the water softener is frozen, so that the front end of the water softener cannot be supplied with water or the water supply amount is small, the fault risk of the water softener is increased, and finally the water softener cannot work normally. Therefore, when the temperature of the water softener is not within the interval range formed by the first preset temperature and the second preset temperature, the water softener should be shut down, and the possibility of the water softener failing is reduced. Similarly, after the water softener is in abnormal state and closes the outlet valve, can indicate through at least one mode in pilot lamp, sound or the demonstration icon that the water softener is in water pressure abnormal state, the object of suggestion can be user, maintainer etc. helps user and maintainer in time to know the operating condition of water softener to the very first time is examined and is maintained when the water softener appears unusually.
Optionally, the present application further provides a control method for controlling a water softener according to water pressure, fig. 6 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a water softener according to water pressure according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 6, the method is as follows:
s601, obtaining the water pressure of the water softener.
S602, if the water pressure is greater than or equal to the first preset water pressure or is less than the second preset water pressure, the water softener is closed.
In this embodiment, the first predetermined water pressure is a threshold value for the water softener to measure whether the water pressure is too high, and is generally a higher water pressure value. For example, the first preset water pressure may be the highest water pressure that the current water softener and parts thereof can bear when working normally, which is measured and tested; the second preset water pressure is a threshold value for the water softener to measure whether the water pressure is too low, and is generally a lower water pressure value. For example, the second preset water pressure may be a minimum water pressure measured and tested when the water softener and the parts thereof can normally operate. When the water pressure of the water softener is greater than or equal to the first preset water pressure, the water pressure of the water softener is too high, and the too high water pressure can cause a series of problems such as water pipe burst, part damage and the like, so that the water leakage risk of the water softener is increased, and finally the water softener cannot work normally; similarly, when the water pressure of the water softener is less than or equal to the second preset water pressure, the water pressure of the water softener is too low, and the water softener is blocked, so that the front end of the water softener cannot be supplied with water or the water supply amount is small, the water leakage risk of the water softener is increased, and finally the water softener cannot work normally. Therefore, when the water pressure of the water softener is not within the range of the first preset water pressure and the second preset water pressure, the water softener should be shut down, reducing the possibility of malfunction of the water softener. After the water softener is in abnormal state and closes the outlet valve in addition, can indicate the water softener to be in water pressure abnormal state through at least one mode in pilot lamp, sound or the display icon, the object of suggestion can be user, maintainer etc. helps user and maintainer in time to know the operating condition of water softener to the very first time is examined and is maintained when the water softener appears unusually.
