Wherein, the first water route, the third water route and the play water cavity intercommunication form the direct water supply water route. Namely, the raw water passes through the water inlet cavity 110, the first water channel, the third water channel and the water outlet cavity in sequence and directly flows out of the water outlet 102 without being softened.
The first waterway, the fourth waterway and the soft water chamber 130 are communicated to form a soft waterway. That is, the raw water passes through the water inlet chamber 110, the first water path, the fourth water path, the soft water chamber 130 and the water outlet chamber in sequence, and flows out from the water outlet 102 after being softened.
The second waterway is communicated with the brine cavity 140 to form a regeneration waterway. That is, the raw water passes through the water inlet chamber 110, the second water path, the brine chamber 140, the soft water chamber 130, and the water outlet chamber in sequence, and the softened resin in the soft water chamber 130 is regenerated.
When the inner container of the dishwasher needs to be filled with tap water, referring to fig. 2, the tap water firstly enters the water inlet cavity 110, then passes through the first flow dividing valve 200, the first waterway, the second flow dividing valve 300, the third waterway and the water outlet cavity from the water inlet cavity 110, and enters the inner container of the dishwasher from the water outlet 102.
When soft water needs to be injected into the inner container of the dishwasher, referring to fig. 3, tap water firstly enters the water inlet chamber 110, then enters the soft water chamber 130 from the water inlet chamber 110 through the first flow dividing valve 200, the first water path, the second flow dividing valve 300, the fourth water path and the soft water chamber inlet 131, the soft resin in the soft water chamber 130 absorbs Cl, ca, mg and other ions in water, and the absorbed soft water flows into the water outlet chamber from the soft water chamber outlet 132 and enters the inner container of the dishwasher from the water outlet 102.
When Cl, ca, mg and other ions adsorbed by the softened resin tend to be saturated, the adsorption effect of the softened resin is reduced, and the softened resin needs to be subjected to reduction regeneration. Referring to fig. 4 and 5, firstly, the tap water enters the inlet chamber 110, then enters the brine chamber 140 through the first diverter valve 200 and the second waterway, after the brine is saturated, the brine pump 400 sucks the brine into the soft water chamber 130, the softening capacity of the softened resin is recovered after a certain time of replacement, and the reduced brine is discharged to the inner container from the soft water chamber outlet 132 and the water outlet 102.

In this embodiment, the soft water chamber 130 may be filled with a soft resin or other soft water capable of absorbing Cl, ca, mg, etc., and the brine chamber 140 may be filled with a regenerating salt mixed with water to form brine, wherein the regenerating salt is preferably edible salt (mainly comprising NaCl) for easy purchase. Of course, the regenerating salt may be other substances capable of washing away Cl, ca, mg, etc. ions from the soft water, and is not limited herein.
A first screen 113 is provided in the inlet chamber 110. The first screen 113 is used to filter impurities in water, and prevent the impurities from entering the soft water chamber 130 and affecting the service life of the softened resin.
A second screen 143 is disposed within the brine chamber 140. The second screen 143 ensures that the salt particles do not enter the brine pump 400, causing clogging of the pump.
The soft water chamber inlet 131 and the soft water chamber outlet 132 are provided with a third sieve 133 and a fourth sieve 134, respectively. In this embodiment, the soft water chamber inlet 131 is provided at the bottom of the soft water chamber 130, and the third strainer 133 can ensure that the softened resin does not leak into the water inlet passage, resulting in the blockage of the second branch valve 300. After the replacement and softening of the tap water in the soft water chamber 130 are completed, the tap water flows to the water outlet 102 through the fourth filter screen and enters the dishwasher.
The water inlet chamber 110 is communicated with an overflow port. The brine chamber inlet 141 is provided with a float passage 144, the float passage 144 ensuring that brine does not flow back to the overflow.
