Description

Water softener salt level detection device and water softener

Technical Field

The utility model relates to a water treatment facilities field especially relates to a water softener salt level detection device and water softener.

Background

In the application process of the water softener, salt in the salt tank as a consumable material needs to be frequently added to enable the water softener to produce continuous soft water, however, the residual amount of the salt is difficult to be frequently paid attention to for real-time supplement in the actual use process of a user, so that the condition of insufficient salt often occurs.

The salt level reminding function of the water softener is rare in the market at present, and some manufacturers adopt a mode of detecting the salt content of the brine by TDS to judge whether the brine is short of salt or not, but have certain hysteresis, namely the alarm of the brine shortage can be given out only when no salt exists, and the alarm cannot be predicted in advance; and the TDS needs to be used in conjunction with the control logic of the valve head, but the valve head can be produced by only a few manufacturers, which cannot be quickly matched with new technologies and functions.

In addition, the height of the salt level can be judged by using laser or infrared distance measurement modes, but the scheme has high cost and difficulty, and the distance measurement structure is greatly influenced by high-concentration salt mist and is not used in a large area.

Fig. 1 shows a water softener, which comprises a soft water filter 1, a water inlet pipe 2, a water outlet pipe 3 and a valve body 4 communicated with the soft water filter 1, the water inlet pipe 2 and the water outlet pipe 3. The water softener in this embodiment also includes a water softener salt level detection device.

The water softener salt level detection device comprises a salt tank 5, a floating body 6 arranged in the salt tank 5 and an alarm component connected with the floating body 6, wherein the density of the floating body 6 is lower than that of salt water in the salt tank 5, so that the floating body 6 can float in the height direction of the salt tank 5, the floating body 6 has the lowest height position in the salt tank 5, and when the floating body 6 falls back to the lowest height position from the position higher than the lowest height position, the alarm component gives an alarm.

As shown in fig. 2a-2 f: the following specifically explains the working principle of the present embodiment:

in the initial state of the salt box 5, the floating body 6 is at the lowest height position, and the alarm part does not alarm;

salt is filled in the salt tank 5, so that the floating body 6 is pressed at the lowest height position by the salt blocks, and the alarm part does not alarm;

the salt is gradually consumed and reduced in the using process, and the alarm part does not alarm as long as the floating body 6 is still at the lowest height position;

when the salt block pressed on the floating body 6 is dissolved and disappears, the floating body 6 is floated by the salt water and is separated from the lowest height position, and the alarm part does not give an alarm;

the salt water is gradually sucked up, the floating body 6 descends, and the alarm part does not alarm as long as the descending of the floating body 6 is not contacted with the lowest height position (if the salt at the bottom is supported);

after the salt is consumed to the lowest height position, the floating body 6 descends to the lowest height position, and the alarm part gives an alarm.

In this embodiment: the lowest height position of the float 6 is slightly above the bottom of the salt tank 5 so that the salt in the salt tank 5 can be alerted before it has been completely used up.

The salt box 5 is internally provided with a guide rod 7 extending along the height direction of the salt box 5, and the floating body 6 is arranged on the guide rod 7 in a penetrating way, so that the floating track of the floating body 6 can be ensured.

The structure of the floating body 6 for triggering the alarm part can be as follows: an alarm triggering member, such as a pressure sensor, can be arranged at the lowest height position, and the alarm triggering member is connected with the alarm part, so that the floating body 6 can send a signal to the alarm part as soon as falling to contact the alarm triggering member, thereby triggering an alarm. The alarm trigger part and the alarm part can be arranged in a split way; the alarm triggering part and the alarm component can also be arranged integrally, or the alarm component can also be the alarm component itself.

In this embodiment: the optimal structure is as follows: the float switch is directly adopted, so that the floating body 6, the alarm trigger part and even the guide rod 7 can be replaced by the float switch.

As for the alarm part, an acoustic alarm part such as a buzzer, a horn, etc. may be employed; it can also adopt indication alarm component, such as indicator light, or both of them.

The salt case 5 is connected with the brine pipe 8, and the brine pipe 8 is linked together through valve body 4 and soft water filtration piece 1, realizes that salt case 5 is linked together with soft water filtration piece 1.

The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and the purpose of the embodiments is to enable people skilled in the art to understand the contents of the present invention and to implement the present invention, which cannot limit the protection scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
