Detailed Description

A water storage device, see fig. 1-6, comprises a tank 1 and an isolation assembly 2. A first partition plate 11 is arranged in the tank body 1, and the first partition plate 11 partitions the inner cavity of the tank body 1 into a raw water chamber 12 and a concentrated water chamber 13 which are arranged in parallel. The first partition plate 11 is provided with a communication passage 14, and the communication passage 14 has a first communication port 141 communicating with the raw water chamber 12, and the communication passage 14 also has a second communication port 142 communicating with the concentrate chamber 13. The isolation assembly 2 includes a valve 21, the valve 21 being disposed within the communication channel 14, the valve 21 having a first operating position and a second operating position. When the valve 21 is in the first operating position, the communication passage 14 is opened, and water of the concentrate chamber 13 can flow from the communication passage 14 into the raw water chamber 12. When the valve 21 is in the second operating position, the communication passage 14 is closed, the raw water chamber 12 and the concentrate chamber 13 are independent of each other, and water in the concentrate chamber 13 cannot flow into the raw water chamber 12.

Compared with the prior art, the water storage device of the embodiment is communicated with the raw water chamber 12 and the concentrated water chamber 13 through the communication channel 14, and the raw water chamber 12 is controlled to be communicated with or disconnected from the concentrated water chamber 13 through the valve 21. Before the initial operation of the water purifying and drinking machine, the whole tank 1 can be fully filled with raw water, namely, the raw water fills the raw water chamber 12 and the concentrated water chamber 13, the space of the tank 1 is fully utilized, and the valve 21 is at the first working position. In the working process of the water purifying and drinking machine, raw water flows out of the box body 1, concentrated water flows into the concentrated water chamber 13, the raw water outflow is larger than the concentrated water inflow, the concentrated water in the concentrated water chamber 13 flows into the raw water chamber 12, and the water levels in the two chambers gradually drop. When the water level of the raw water chamber 12 drops to a certain water level, the valve 21 is switched from the first working position to the second working position, and the valve 21 closes the communication channel 14, at this time, the water quality in the concentrate chamber 13 does not meet the water source requirement of the water purification system, so that the water in the concentrate chamber 13 is prohibited from flowing into the raw water chamber 12.

Referring to fig. 1 to 6, the first communication port 141 is located above the second communication port 142 in order to reduce raw water pollution and improve space utilization of the tank 1. Particles in the water in the concentrated water chamber 13 can be deposited at the bottom of the concentrated water chamber 13 or the communication channel 14, and the water far away from the bottoms of the concentrated water chamber 13 and the communication channel 14 can be cleaner, so that cleaner water can flow into the raw water chamber 12, and the pollution of the water in the raw water chamber 12 can be reduced. Meanwhile, the water in the concentrated water chamber 13 can flow into the raw water chamber 12 as much as possible, and the space utilization rate of the tank body 1 is further improved.

Referring to fig. 1 to 6, in order to further reduce raw water pollution and improve space utilization of the tank 1, a raw water outlet 121 is provided at the bottom of the raw water chamber 12. A concentrate inlet 131 is provided at the bottom of the concentrate chamber 13. A second partition plate 15 is also provided in the case 1. The second partition plate 15 is located in the concentrated water chamber 13, the second partition plate 15 partitions the concentrated water chamber 13 into a first concentrated water chamber 132 and a second concentrated water chamber 133 which are arranged in parallel, and the height of the second partition plate 15 is smaller than the height of the concentrated water chamber 13. The communication port between the communication passage 14 and the rich water chamber 13 is located in the second rich water chamber 133, i.e., the second communication port 142 is located in the second rich water chamber 133. And, the concentrate inlet 131 is disposed in the first concentrate chamber 132. Through the design, filtered concentrated water flows into the first concentrated water cavity 132 from the bottom of the first concentrated water cavity 132, particles in the concentrated water can be precipitated at the bottom of the first concentrated water cavity 132 as much as possible, pollution of the concentrated water to water above the concentrated water cavity 13 and water in the second concentrated water cavity 133 is reduced, and pollution of the concentrated water to raw water in the raw water cavity 12 can be reduced as much as possible.

With this design, the valve 21 can function as a water level detection function in addition to opening or interrupting the communication passage 14. When the tank 1 is full of water, that is, when the water level in the tank 1 is higher than the first working position, the buoyancy of the water to the valve 21 can make the valve 21 always be in the first working position, and keep the communication channel 14 open. As the water level gradually decreases, the valve 21 gradually decreases toward the second operating position as the water level in the communication passage 14 is lower than the first operating position and higher than the second operating position. Until the water level in the communication channel 14 is lower than the second working position, the valve 21 reaches the second working position, closing the communication channel 14. In another embodiment, a water level detector and a solenoid valve may be provided on the first partition plate 11, the water level of the rich water chamber 13 is detected by the water level detector, and the on-off of the solenoid valve is controlled according to the water level of the rich water chamber 13.
