The utility model provides a waterway control module which can accurately identify water demand signals of external equipment and better meet the water demand of the external equipment.

Referring to fig. 1 to 2 in combination, in an embodiment of the present application, there is provided a waterway control module 100, where the waterway control module 100 is configured to communicate with an outlet pipeline of a water supply device, and the waterway control module 100 may include: a water inlet 101 for connection to the water outlet line; a first water outlet 102 for connecting to an external device 400; a detection unit disposed between the water inlet 101 and the first water outlet 102, the detection unit being configured to detect a water signal of the external device 400, the detection unit including at least one of a pressure detection member 103 and a flow rate detection member 104; and the control unit 105 is in communication connection with the detection unit, and the control unit 105 can control the working state of the water supply equipment according to the water use signal detected by the detection unit.

Wherein the water supply device may comprise any one or a combination of the following: water purifier, water softener and water heater. The waterway control module 100 may be disposed in a flow path between the water supply device and the external device 400. The flow path may be a branch flow path in the water outlet line.

The specific form of the water supply device can be adaptively adjusted according to different requirements of the external device 400 on water quality and water temperature, for example, when the external device 400 needs to use purified water, as shown in fig. 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, the water supply device can be a single Leng Jingshui machine; when the external device 400 needs to use soft water, the water supply device may be a water softener; when the external device 400 needs to use hot water, the water supply device may be a water heater; when the external device 400 needs to use the heated purified water, as shown in fig. 4 or 5, the water supply device may be a cold and hot integrated water purifier; when the external device 400 needs to use heated soft water, the water supply device may be a water heater and water softener integrated device.

Of course, the specific form of the water supply device may be other forms, and is not limited to the above description, and other modifications may be made by those skilled in the art in light of the technical spirit of the present application, so long as the functions and effects implemented by the water supply device are the same as or similar to those of the present application, and all the functions and effects are covered in the protection scope of the present application.

In the embodiments of the present application, the water supply apparatus is mainly described by taking the water purifier shown in fig. 3 to 10 as an example, and when the water supply apparatus is in other forms or a combination of multiple water supply apparatuses, the water supply apparatus can be adaptively adjusted based on the present application.

In the embodiments provided herein, the waterway control module 100 may include: a water inlet 101, a first water outlet 102, a detection unit and a control unit 105.

The waterway control module 100 may be disposed in a flow path between the water supply device to the external device 400 through the water inlet 101 and the first water outlet 102. Wherein the water inlet 101 may be connected to an outlet pipe of the water supply device. The first water outlet 102 may be connected to an external device 400.

Specifically, the external device 400 may include any one of the following: pipeline machine, ice maker, coffee machine, water boiler, humidifier, steaming oven, etc. Of course, the specific form of the external device 400 is not limited to the above example, and when the water supply device is a water purifier, the external device 400 may be other forms of devices that need to use purified water, and other choices and modifications may be made by those skilled in the art in light of the technical spirit of the present application.

As shown in fig. 6, among others, it is possible for the water supply apparatus to supply water to a plurality of external apparatuses 400 requiring water. In order to satisfy the water supply device supplying water to the plurality of external devices 400, a parallel branch for connecting the plurality of external devices 400 may be connected downstream of the sensing unit. Specifically, the plurality of external devices 400 connected in parallel may include 2, or 3, or more than 3, and specifically, for example, when three external devices 400 are connected in parallel, the external devices are respectively an external first device 410, an external second device 420, and an external third device 430, where the number and specific form of the external devices 400 may be adaptively adjusted according to the requirements of the actual application scenario, and the application is not limited specifically herein.

The sensing unit may include one of a pressure sensing member 103 and a flow sensing member 104, and the control unit 105 may control an operation state of the water supply apparatus according to one of the pressure sensing member 103 and the flow sensing member 104.

In this embodiment, the detection unit is configured to detect a water signal of the external device 400. Specifically, the detection unit may include at least one of a pressure detection member 103 and a flow rate detection member 104.

When the external device 400 has water demand, the water inlet valve of the external device 400 is opened, which can bring pressure and flow change to the detection unit communicated with the external device 400, and the pressure and flow change can be obtained by arranging the detection unit in the waterway control module 100. The control unit 105, which is in communication connection with the detection unit, can identify whether the external device 400 needs water or not based on the pressure and flow rate change signals obtained by the detection unit, and when the external device 400 is identified to need water, the water supply device can be started to supply water to the external device 400.

In some embodiments, when the detection unit includes the pressure detecting member 103, the principle for detecting the water signal of the external device 400 is as follows: when the water outlet tap 300 of the water purifier is in a closed state, if the water inlet valve of the external device 400 communicated with the water outlet pipeline is opened, pressure drop can occur at the position of the pressure detection part 103, the control unit 105 can compare the pressure drop detected by the pressure detection part 103 with a preset pressure difference, and when the pressure drop reaches the preset pressure difference, the current external device 400 has water demand, and at the moment, the water purifier can be started to produce water.

Specifically, the pressure detecting member 103 may include any one of the following: a pressure sensor and a pressure switch. The working principle of the pressure switch is as follows: when the pressure change of the position of the pressure switch reaches the preset pressure difference, the pressure switch is switched from the first state to the second state, for example, from 0 to 1, and the current pressure fluctuation is detected. If the pressure fluctuation is lower than the preset pressure difference, the pressure switch cannot be used for accurately detecting.

In contrast, the pressure sensor can accurately acquire the change value of the current pressure, the control precision is relatively higher, and the pressure signal under the working condition of small pressure fluctuation can be detected.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the pressure detecting member 103 may be a pressure sensor, and when the pressure detecting member 103 includes a pressure sensor, and when the control unit 105 determines that the current pressure reduction reaches the preset pressure reduction or the pressure value is lower than the pressure threshold based on the pressure signal detected by the pressure sensor, it indicates that there is a water demand of the external device 400, and the water supply device is started to produce water.

When the pressure sensor detects that the current pressure is raised to be higher than the preset pressure value again, the current external device 400 can be indicated to stop water consumption, and at the moment, the water supply device can be turned off to stop water production.

In some embodiments, when the detecting unit includes the flow detecting member 104, the specific form of the flow detecting member 104 may be formed into different forms according to the different operation principles, which is not limited herein.

Specifically, the flow detecting unit 104 may include a flow sensor, and when the control unit 105 determines that the current flow is greater than the preset flow based on the flow signal detected by the flow sensor, it indicates that there is a water demand of the external device 400, and the water supply device is started.

For example, the flow sensor may be a water flow sensor, which mainly includes a copper valve body, a rotor assembly, a steady flow assembly, and a hall element. When the external device 400 has water demand, the water inlet valve of the external device 400 is opened, and after the water inlet valve is opened, water in the pure water outlet pipeline 260 flows to the external device 400 side. When water flows through the rotor assembly, the magnetic rotor rotates and the rotational speed varies linearly with the flow. The output pulse signal is fed back to the control unit 105 at the Hall element, and the control unit 105 judges the water flow. When the water flow reaches the preset flow, the current external device 400 has water demand, and the water purifier can be started to produce water. When the water flow is lower than the preset flow, the external device 400 stops using water, and the water supply device can be turned off to stop water production.

The waterway control module 100 provided in this embodiment of the present application may control the on/off of the water supply device through the pressure signal change state or the change amount of the pressure switch or the pressure sensor, and the signal state or the specific flow threshold value of the flow sensor, so that the water supply device is not frequently started due to the large pipe resistance of the rear end pipeline or the fluctuation of the water inlet pressure of the user, and the service life of the components of the water supply device is affected.

In one embodiment, the waterway control module 100 may further include a housing 110, the water inlet 101 and the first water outlet 102 are disposed on the housing 110, and the detection unit is disposed within the housing 110.

In this embodiment, the waterway control module 100 may be integrally formed as a control box structure, and may include a housing 110, wherein the water inlet 101 and the first water outlet 102 may be an interface provided on the housing 110. The detection unit may be disposed within the housing 110.

Of course, in other embodiments, the control unit 105 may also be integrated in the controller 250 of the water supply device; or the control unit 105 may be provided independently; or the control unit 105 may be integrated in the central controller when the water supply device is communicatively connected to the central controller.

In one embodiment, the waterway control module 100 may further include a first valve 106, the first valve 106 being disposed upstream of the detection unit. The first valve 106 is mainly used to prevent other locations of the water supply from interfering with the detection of the water signal. Taking the water supply device as a water purifier as an example, when the water outlet faucet 300 of the water purifier is opened or the combination valve 230 is opened during the concentrated water discharge, fluctuation of pressure and flow rate can be generated at the detection unit, so that interference is generated on the detection signal of the detection unit. In order to accurately detect the water signal of the external device 400 by means of the detection unit, a first valve 106 may be provided upstream of the detection unit, with the first valve 106 shielding the interfering signal.

Specifically, the first valve 106 may include any one or a combination of the following: a one-way valve, a solenoid valve 108. Of course, the form of the first valve 106 may be other forms, not limited to the above description, and other modifications may be made by those skilled in the art in light of the technical spirit of the present application, and all the functions and effects achieved by the present application are included in the scope of protection of the present application.

In one embodiment, the first valve 106 may comprise a one-way valve that is in one-way communication from the water inlet 101 to the first water outlet 102. When the first valve 106 is a one-way valve, the one-way valve may be in one-way communication along a water supply direction, in particular in a direction from the water inlet 101 to the first water outlet 102.

The water supply device takes a water purifier as an example, when the water purifier is in a non-pressure holding state (including the conditions of draining concentrated water, opening water by the water tap 300, and the like), the pressure at the upstream of the one-way valve is smaller and cannot be conducted under the conditions, so that the condition can be prevented from generating interference signals to the detection unit.

Through setting up this check valve, can shield the interference signal that is located this waterway control module 100 detection position upper reaches, prevent frequent mistake under the condition that the purifier need not to make water to lead to the filter core to report to the police in advance.

In addition, the one-way conduction function of the one-way valve can be utilized to prevent water inlet and outlet from being reversely connected. Assuming that the first water outlet 102 and the water inlet 101 are interchanged, water cannot flow out from the waterway control module 100. If the water cannot be discharged, the first water outlet 102 and the water inlet 101 of the waterway control module 100 may be interchanged.

In another embodiment, the first valve 106 comprises a solenoid valve 108, the solenoid valve 108 being communicatively connected to the control unit 105, the solenoid valve 108 being in an open state when the external device 400 is in a water inlet state.

The water supply device takes a water purifier as an example, and when the water purifier is in a non-pressure holding state (including the conditions of draining concentrated water, opening water by the water tap 300, and the like), the electromagnetic valve 108 can be controlled to be closed under the above conditions, so that interference signals to the detection unit are prevented from being generated under the above conditions.

In a specific embodiment, the detecting unit may include a pressure detecting member 103 and a flow detecting member 104, and the control unit 105 may control the operation state of the water supply apparatus according to the pressure detecting member 103 and the flow detecting member 104. When the detection unit includes the pressure detection member 103 and the flow rate detection member 104, the control unit 105 can improve the control accuracy when controlling the operation state of the water supply apparatus based on the detection signals of the pressure detection member 103 and the flow rate detection member 104. Particularly, in some cases, if one detecting member fails, another detecting member can be used for detecting, so that the reliability and the persistence of the operation of the waterway control module 100 can be improved.

The waterway control module 100 provided herein may be adapted to a water supply without a low-voltage switch. This water supply equipment through setting up the waterway control module 100 that provides in this application embodiment, can judge whether water supply equipment lacks water through detecting the flow and/or the pressure signal of the branch road that waterway control module 100 is located, avoid water supply equipment because lack of water and work for a long time. For example, for a water purifier, if tap water is cut off, the water pump can idle for a long time without the protection of a low-pressure switch, so that the self-absorption capacity of the water pump is reduced, and the damage life of a filter element structural member is reduced; the back-end heating mechanism presents a risk of dry burning.

For example, if the water supply device is disconnected, the flow detector 104 cannot acquire the flow signal, and thus the water supply device is not started to produce water.

In general, the detection unit of the waterway control module 100 provided in this embodiment of the present application is matched with the control unit 105, so that after the external device is started, the water demand signal of the external device can be accurately identified by using the detection unit, and the working state of the water supply device is reasonably controlled by using the control unit 105, thereby preferably meeting the water demand of the external device. The waterway control module 100 has strong universality, can be connected to the water outlets of various water supply devices, and can meet the water supply requirement of the various water supply devices on external equipment.

Referring to fig. 2, in one embodiment, the waterway control module 100 further includes: a second water outlet 107 and a solenoid valve 108; a first branch 121 is formed between the water inlet 101 and the first water outlet 102, a second branch 122 is formed between the water inlet 101 and the second water outlet 107, the electromagnetic valve 108 is disposed on the second branch 122, and the electromagnetic valve 108 is in communication connection with the control unit 105, and is used for controlling the water outlet of the water outlet end of the water supply device.
