Description

Water softener with body shower function {omitted}

The present invention is not only a body shower while enjoying a massage (massage) using water softened by the ion exchange resin of the water softener, but also a body shower that can easily perform the regeneration work of the ion exchange resin. It is about water softener which has function.

With the development of industrial society, the generation of environmental pollution sources is increasing, and the pollution of soil and water as well as air pollution in the air is serious, and various measures are taken accordingly.

Among the environmental pollution caused by the environmental pollution source, the pollution of the groundwater that people use for drinking and living water is serious, as well as the anxiety of consumers about the tap water supplied to each household due to the pollution of the drinking water source.

Therefore, the tap water supplied to each household is thoroughly removed from the harmful substances contained in the raw water through the water purification plant, and then supplied to each household.

Nevertheless, consumers are not able to boil or simply use the drinking water because the tap water is supplied along the water pipe, and the sewage is mixed through the water pipe or the water pipe contains corrosion of calcium, magnesium, or dye. You can only boil tap water and drink it.

In addition, if calcium, magnesium, dyes, etc. are mixed in the tap water as described above, soap water is not properly removed when taking a bath or shower, ultimately causing skin diseases.

The water softener is designed to solve the problems mentioned above and to use tap water more comfortably.

The water softener reacts with magnesium ions, calcium ions, etc., which are hard water components contained in tap water, ground water, and natural water, and converts them into soft water such as hot spring water through ion exchange to be used as drinking water and living water. .

Water softener that converts the hard water tap water into soft water, tap water obtained through the injection pipe passes through the ion exchange resin filled inside the water softener, and is converted into soft water. It is configured to be discharged through.

As mentioned above, the ion exchange resin in the soft water cylinder for exchanging tap water with soft water is used for a certain period of time, so that foreign substances are applied to the surface of the soft water like water debris and the soft water function is lost. Salt is added to regenerate.

When the ion exchange resin is regenerated, the cap coupled to the salt inlet formed by the upper case of the soft water cylinder is opened, and salt is introduced through the salt inlet to regenerate the ion exchange resin.

When regenerating the ion exchange resin, a suitable method is adopted according to the structural characteristics of the water softener. In the conventional water softener, the user bends the ion exchange resin while salt is added to the water softener cylinder so that the salt water is evenly distributed on the ion exchange resin. Mixing and regeneration is common.

The regeneration method of the above-described regeneration effect of the ion exchange resin is high because of shaking the ion exchange resin, but has the disadvantage of cumbersome work.

The method to solve the above problems (regeneration of ion exchange resin) is to increase the size of the soft water cylinder filled with the ion exchange resin and increase the amount of the ion exchange resin, thereby retarding the contamination rate of the ion exchange resin. Not only was it possible to reduce the number of work, but also solved the inconvenience of consumers using the water softener to some extent, while the volume is large, there is a problem that secures the installation space and occupy a lot of installation area.

Another method of regeneration of the ion exchange resin is to install a separate salt container in the raw water line and regenerate the salt water from the salt container into the soft water container. This is easy to regenerate the ion exchange resin, while the salt water is stopped. Since it simply passes through, the regeneration efficiency was inferior.

On the other hand, the conventional water softener not only has a simple function that can be used by discharging the soft water to the shower head, but can also wash the body cleanly with soft water, while the water pressure discharged through the soft water is constant. There is a drawback that you can not take a massage while taking a shower, and there is a drawback that it is impossible to install and use in an alpine area (Shandong) where the supply water pressure of raw water is low.

In addition, the conventional water softener is to use the water by operating the manual lever was inconvenient to use.

The present invention devised to solve the shortcomings of the conventional water softener, the present invention not only provided the convenience of use by automatically draining the water softened in the water softener, but also the body shower head laid out beyond the simple soft water function The shower can be enjoyed as well as massage, and the regeneration work of the ion exchange resin is easy to provide a water softener that combines a body shower function with a compact and lightweight water softener and a shorter time due to the regeneration of the ion exchange resin.

As shown, the water softener having a body shower function according to the present invention, by operating the operation button 13a of the control panel 13 installed in the cover 12 to supply electric energy.

The electric energy is supplied to select one of the function buttons of the control panel 13 to discharge water.

As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4, the body shower head 60 is connected to the motor pump 30 of the finishing member 28 of the second water container 22 by the shower head 50. When using the drained soft water, the shower button 13e of the control panel 13 is pressed and operated.

When the shower head button 13e is operated, the electronic discharge valve 28a provided in the finishing installation member 28 of the second water container 22 is first opened according to the signal stored in the circuit board 100, and then 1 After the first time, the electromagnetic suction valve 27a provided in the finishing installation member 27 of the first soft water container 21 is opened, and the water softened by the shower head 50 is discharged.

When water is discharged to the shower head 50 as described above, the solenoid valve 70 does not operate.

As described above, after the water discharged to the shower head 50 is discharged for a predetermined time (more than 2 minutes or less within 10 minutes), the electromagnetic suction valve 27a is closed, and after 1 second, the electron discharge valve 28a is closed.

As described above, the electron discharge valve 28a can be opened first to generate pressure in the first and second soft water tanks 21 and 22 generated by the water pressure generated when water is initially supplied through the raw water line. It is to avoid doing so.

And during the body shower is used to eject water softened (軟水) water to the body shower head 60, in this case by pressing the body shower button (13f) of the control panel 13 to operate.

When the body shower button 13f is operated, the motor pump 30 provided as the finishing installation member 28 of the second water container 22 is opened according to the signal stored in the circuit board 100, and then the solenoid valve ( After the 70 is opened, the magnetic suction valve 27a included in the finishing installation member 27 installed in the first water container 21 is opened one second later, and water is supplied to the water softener, and at the same time, the motor pump 30 and the solenoid valve are opened. Water is injected to the body shower head 60 by 70.

When the massage using water sprayed to the body shower head 60 as described above, the massage button 13d of the control panel 13 is operated to massage the massage button 13d. 70 repeats the ON / OFF operation for a predetermined time (more than 2 minutes and less than 10 minutes).

By repeating the ON / OFF operation of the solenoid valve 70, the water injected into the body shower head 60 is short-circuited to wash the body while also obtaining a massage effect.

On the other hand, when driving the motor pump 30 by operating the pressure control button (13g) when showering by injecting water into the body shower head 60 as described above, the injection pressure injected to the injection nozzle (60a) is increased The result is a massage effect as you wash your body.

As described above, the time at which the water softened through the shower head 50 and the body shower head 60 can be used can be selectively adjusted by the timer 13h.

As described above, the direction of the water sprayed to the body shower head 60 is used to adjust the angle according to the user's physical condition. When the angle of the body shower head 60 is adjusted, the body 60c is shown in FIG. It has a spherical shape, holding the spray nozzle (60a) up and down. If you move left and right, the body (60c) is to rotate the cloud while adjusting the angle.

As described above, when the water softened in the water softener 20 is discharged to the shower head 50 and the body shower head 60, the first and second soft water tanks 21 and 22 are filled in a predetermined period. It is desirable to regenerate the used ion exchange resin regularly.

The reason is that when the water softener is used for a long time, foreign matter such as water debris is applied to the surface of the ion exchange resin and thus the exchange function of the ion exchange resin is lost.

When regenerating the ion exchange resin, the lid 15 attached to the upper portion of the housing 10 is removed, and then the lid 25 attached to the salt inlets of the first and second water softeners 21 and 22 ( 26).

After removing the lid and operating the salt injection button 13b of the control panel 13 while the shower head 50 is placed on the floor of the bathroom, the electronic discharge valve 28a opens to open the first and second water bottles ( The water in 21) (22) is drawn out through the showerhead, resulting in a low water level.

Salt is put in the state in which the water level in the 1st and 2nd water tanks 21 and 22 was lowered, and the lids 25 and 26 are refitted to the salt inlet, and the lid 15 is put on.

The ion regeneration button 13c of the control panel 13 is operated while salt is added to the first and second soft water tanks 21 and 22.

When the ion regeneration button 13c is operated, the electromagnetic suction valve 27a and the electron discharge valve 28a are successively repeated in the opening and closing operations, and the electromagnetic suction valve 27a and the electromagnetic discharge valve 28a are operated. The ion exchange resin oscillates when the opening and closing operations are repeated repeatedly.

The ion exchange resin that is shaken as described above is removed from the salt-melted salt water to remove foreign substances such as water debris applied to the surface of the ion exchange resin.

As described above, the time for regenerating the ion exchange resin while the electron intake valve 27a and the electron discharge valve 28a are repeatedly turned on and off is about 5 to 10 minutes.
