Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a water softener comprising a plurality of resin tanks connected in parallel,

The present invention relates to a water softener comprising a plurality of resin tanks connected in parallel. More specifically, the present invention relates to a water softener including a resin tank portion into which an ion-exchange resin can be introduced, into which regenerated water can be introduced, wherein the resin tank portion includes a plurality of resin tanks connected in parallel .

In general, tap water (hard water) contains a large amount of chlorine components used in the purification process, and it can also contain various heavy metals (ions) such as iron, zinc, lead, and mercury which are harmful to the human body due to aged pipes and water pollution . Although such tap water is not fatal to the human body, if it is used as it is when washing the skin, the metal ion contained in the water and the fatty acid of the soap are combined with each other to produce a metallic foreign substance. Such metallic foreign substances come into contact with the skin, It can cause skin diseases or promote skin aging.

In order to prevent this, water softener has been developed by exchanging hard water Ca ²⁺ and Mg ²⁺ with Na ^{+ for} soft water and is mainly used for cleaning.

For this purpose, the water softener is contained the resin taengkeueul the ion exchange resin embedded in the special polymer compound of the Na ⁺ contained and the ion exchange resin recycling materials or reproduction, such as salt (NaCl) to generate the Na ⁺ if is soluble in water I And a built-in regenerator.

In the operation process, the water softener passes soft water through the resin tank in contact with the ion exchange resin in a state in which a large amount of ball-shaped ion exchange resin is stored in the resin tank, thereby generating soft water. At this time, the Na ⁺ component of the ion exchange resin is continuously reduced by the continuous contact with the hard water. In this case, regenerated water of NaCl component flows from the regeneration tank to the resin tank in order to preserve the Na ⁺ component.

The water softener described above has the following problems.

First, since most conventional water softeners use one resin tank, the overall size of the water softener is small and the installation is simple. However, according to the user's choice of the water softener, the temperature-controlled water is supplied to the water softener There is a problem in that it takes a long time until the softened water reaches the temperature selected by the user because the length of the ionized softened water is long and the large amount of fluid is stored on the fluidized channel.

In order to overcome this problem, there is a water softener employing two or more resin tanks. According to the related art, in this case, temperature control is easy, but the size of the water softener is inevitably increased.

Secondly, when the user confirms that the Na ⁺ component is reduced by various methods, the regeneration operation of flowing the regeneration water is performed, since the regeneration operation should be performed only to the extent suitable for charging the ion exchange resin, the operation period thereof is a problem.

In order to overcome this problem, there is a gravity regenerative water softener provided with a mechanical timer. However, in the conventional art in which only a mechanical timer is provided, it is difficult to confirm whether the user is in the current playback mode. There is a problem that it is difficult for the user to confirm how much more it takes.

In order to overcome the above-mentioned problems, another conventional technique is to install a separate electronic timer or electronic signal control device. However, since the water softener is generally used in a humid space, electrical short-circuit may occur, Other problems arise.

In the case of the water regenerating type water softener, since the raw water having the water pressure is introduced into the regenerator, water pressure is applied to the regenerator as well, so that it is difficult to open the plug, There is a problem that there is a possibility of user injury due to the regenerator plug due to the water pressure at the time.

In order to overcome this problem, there is a water softener for lowering the water pressure by discharging the water in the regenerator to the outside by opening the drain valve before the regenerating cylinder is opened by positioning the drain valve. However, The above-described operation is troublesome, and when the user forgets to blink and opens the cap first, there is still a risk of injury.

Finally, there is a problem that it is difficult for the user to set the reproduction timing because the total amount of the used years can not be confirmed. In order to solve this problem, a flow sensor may be used. However, as described above, sensing by the sensor may cause problems such as electric short.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems.

More specifically, as in a water tank having a single tank, water whose temperature is adjusted in the water inlet can be generated as soft water through the water softener and can be quickly provided to the user as the user has selected. At the same time, And a water softener having a small product size and easy to install as shown in FIG.

It is also an object of the present invention to provide a water softener capable of effectively showing the current operation mode to the user while using a mechanically operating timer and also showing how far the regeneration mode has progressed and how much further it should proceed by a mechanical method .

Further, it is an object of the present invention to solve the problem that it is difficult to open the regenerating cap, and to provide a water softener which can be safely opened without fear of user injury when the regenerating cap is opened.

Further, even when a multi-tank resin tank portion including a plurality of resin tanks is used, regenerated water or the like can be evenly distributed to the resin tanks, so that the amount of ion exchange resin in each resin tank can be maintained evenly. ≪ / RTI >

In order to solve the above problems, a water softener is provided in which a plurality of resin tanks are connected in parallel. In order to solve the above problems, there is provided a water softener including a regenerator having a shaft and a separator plate.

1. Description of water softener components

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the water softener according to the present invention is applicable to all types of water softeners, including gravity regeneration and hydraulic regeneration. However, the characteristics of the regenerator 400 and the regenerator 420 according to the present invention will be particularly preferable in the regenerative water softener. Hereinafter, the water pressure regenerative water softener will be described as one embodiment, and the main components of the water softener according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figs.

1 to 3 are perspective views of a water softener according to the present invention, and Fig. 4 is a sectional view.

1.1 An overview of the components

1 is a perspective view showing an outline of a water softener according to the present invention. 1 shows an outer housing 100 for protecting internal components of a water softener, a valve shaft 290 on which a user-operated valve knob 295 (see FIG. 6) is mounted, The integrated flow meter 600 is shown. The cover of the integrated flowmeter 600 is not shown.

2 to 4 are perspective views in which the outer housing 100 is omitted from the water softener according to the present invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view seen from the front, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view seen from the rear. Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view seen from the perspective of the perspective view of Fig. 2;

The water softener includes a timer switching valve 200, a filter unit 300, a regenerator 400, a resin tank unit 500, and a cumulative flow meter 600.

The timer switching valve 200 functions to flow raw water, which is received from the water inlet 10 through the raw water inlet flow path 110, into an appropriate flow path according to the operation mode selected by the user. When the user selects the operation mode through the valve handle 295, the timer switching valve 200 switches the raw water to a plurality of flow paths, that is, the raw water outflow path 120, the filter part intake flow path 310, And flows into any one of the inlet flow paths 410. Details of the operation mode will be described below.

The filter unit 300 functions to filter the raw water introduced from the filter-unit intake flow path 310. The filtered raw water is supplied to the resin tank through the resin tank distributing passage 520.

The regenerant is stored in the regenerator 400. The regenerant may be, but is not limited to, salt (NaCl) in general. When the raw water is received in the regeneration tank 400 through the regeneration tank inlet flow path 410, regenerated water is generated, and the regenerated water thus generated is received in the resin tank through the resin tank distributing flow path 520.

The resin tank portion 500 is made up of a plurality of resin tanks 500a, 500b, and 500c, and an ion exchange resin is stored.

When the user selects the training mode, raw water filtered by the filter unit 300 flows into the resin tank unit 500 through the resin tank intake flow path 520. The incoming raw water is ion-exchanged in the resin tank part 500 to be hardened and converted into soft water, and the soft water is discharged from the resin tank part 500 through the resin tank outflow channel 530. Thereafter, the training water is supplied to the user through the outflow channel 620 via the training water outflow channel 610.

When the user selects the regeneration mode, the regenerated water generated in the regeneration tank 400 flows into the resin tank portion 500 through the resin tank intake flow path 520. The introduced regenerated water is filled in the resin tank portion 500 with the ion exchange resin.

The integrated flow meter 600 is installed on the training water outflow channel 610 so that the user can easily check the total amount of the training water that has flown out (see FIG. 1). Accordingly, the user can check the accumulated amount of the yearly water by referring to the accumulated flow meter 600 and determine the regeneration mode operation time to charge the ion exchange resin.

1.2. Description of the resin tank unit 500

The resin tank part 500 is a multi-tank type and comprises a plurality of resin tanks 500a, 500b and 500c connected in parallel. In the illustrated embodiment, three resin tanks 500a, 500b, and 500c are illustrated, but the number of the resin tanks 500a, 500b, and 500c is not limited thereto.

If the temperature controlled water enters the water softener according to the user's choice in the water inlet 10, if there is one resin tank or when a plurality of resin tanks are connected in series, the ion- It takes a long time and a large amount of fluid gathered on the flow channel so that it takes a long time for the user to select the temperature of the selected temperature.

On the contrary, when the number of the resin tanks is two or more, if the tanks are connected in series, the length of the fluid flowing until the soft water flows out is short so that the temperature can be easily controlled.

The resin tank unit 500 according to the present invention uses a plurality of resin tanks 500a, 500b, and 500c in parallel to solve the above problems. It is possible to shorten the length of the flow of the soft water through the parallel connection, so that the temperature can be easily adjusted.

Particularly, when a plurality of resin tanks 500a, 500b, 500c are used, the sizes of the resin tanks 500a, 500b, 500c are reduced, The amount of resin also decreases. It was confirmed that when the amount of the ion exchange resin was too small, the hardness of the raw water was not completely removed.

Therefore, the inventor has confirmed through experiments that the amount of ion exchange resin should be at least 0.5 liter. Further, even when the amount of the ion exchange resin exceeds 0.5 L, even when the inner diameter of the cylindrical tank is larger than 9 cm, it is confirmed that the hardness of the raw water is not completely removed.

Therefore, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the resin tanks 500a, 500b, and 500c are preferably connected in parallel, and the volume thereof is preferably greater than 0.5 L. When the resin tank is cylindrical, Particularly preferable is 9 cm or less.

2. Explanation of the water softener operation

The operation of the water softener according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. Fig. 5 is a conceptual view for explaining the operation method of the water softener in the present invention, and Fig. 6 is a schematic view of the valve knob 295 showing a user-selectable operation mode.

6, the user can operate the valve knob 295 to select the stop mode, the training mode, the raw water mode, and the regeneration mode. The valve shaft 290 rotates in accordance with the operation of the valve knob 295 and the timer switching valve 200 operates accordingly to determine the flow path of the raw water flowing into the timer switching valve 200.

2.1. Stop mode

When the user selects the stop mode by operating the valve knob 295, there is no separate inflow of raw water. The embodiment shown in Fig. 6 shows a state in which the valve knob 295 is in the stop mode.

2.2. Training mode

When the user selects the training mode by operating the valve knob 295, the raw water introduced from the water inlet 10 is converted into soft water and supplied to the user.

When the raw water flows from the water inlet 10 through the raw water inflow passage 110, the timer changeover valve 200 causes the raw water to flow into the filter portion intake flow path 310. The filtered raw water in the filter unit 300 is evenly distributed to the respective resin tanks 500a, 500b and 500c through the resin tank distributing passage 520. [

Ion exchange is performed in the resin tanks 500a, 500b, and 500c connected in parallel to generate soft water. Since the incoming raw water is uniformly distributed by about 1/3, ion exchange is performed in each of the resin tanks 500a, 500b, and 500c, so that soft water is generated rapidly and at the same time, the temperature of the raw water flowing in from the water receiving port 10 is large Can be maintained without change and can pass through the resin tanks 500a, 500b and 500c. This makes it easy to adjust the temperature of the outgoing soft water.

The soft water exiting from each of the resin tanks 500a, 500b and 500c is supplied to the user through the soft water outflow channel 610 through the resin tank outflow channel 530 and the outflow channel 620. [ On the soft water outflow channel 610, an integrated flow meter 600 is located and the total amount of soft water is measured.

2.3. Enemy mode

When the user selects the training mode by operating the valve knob 295, the raw water introduced from the water inlet 10 is directly supplied to the user.

When the raw water flows from the water inlet 10 through the raw water inflow passage 110, the timer changeover valve 200 causes the raw water to flow into the raw water outflow passage 120. Then, the raw water is supplied to the user through the outflow channel 620.

2.4. Playback mode

When the user operates the valve knob 295 to select the regeneration mode, the raw water introduced from the water inlet 10 is used as regeneration water. Also, when the playback mode is selected, a timer spring (not shown) such as a manual winding is operated to change to the stop mode after a predetermined period of time.

When the raw water flows from the water inlet 10 through the raw water inlet flow path 110, the timer switching valve 200 causes the raw water to flow into the regeneration cylinder inlet flow path 410. At the same time, the timer is automatically operated and the inflow of water is automatically stopped after a predetermined time.

For example, when the user rotates the valve knob 295 from the stop mode to the regeneration mode (arrow 291), a separate timer spring (not shown) in the timer switch valve 200 starts operating. The valve knob 295 is gradually activated by the timer spring from the regeneration mode to the stop mode (arrow 292) and automatically returns to the stop mode after a predetermined time has elapsed.

That is, the user can visually check the degree of rotation of the valve knob 295 to check how much the regeneration operation has progressed.

In one embodiment, the angle between the stop mode and the playback mode may be about 144 [deg.], And of course, the timer spring may be set to return after about 30 minutes from the playback mode to the stop mode.

The raw water flows into the regeneration tank 400 through the regeneration tank inlet flow path 410. A flow controller (not shown) is disposed in the regeneration cylinder inlet channel 410 so that only a predetermined amount of the input water can be introduced into the regeneration cylinder 400. In one embodiment, the predetermined inlet amount may be 150 ml, but is not limited thereto.

The raw water flowing into the regeneration tank 400 is subjected to a constant water pressure, so that the regenerant in the regeneration tank 400 is dissolved by water pressure to generate regeneration water.

The generated regenerated water flows out through the regenerating water outlet flow path 470 and is evenly distributed to the resin tank distributing flow path 520 by a separate separator plate 490 so as to be uniformly distributed to the resin tanks 500a, 500b and 500c ≪ / RTI > The separator plate 490 will be described in detail below.

The regenerated water flowing into the resin tanks 500a, 500b, 500c is discharged from the resin tanks 500a, 500b, 500c by the water pressure after filling the ion exchange resin and discharged to the outside.

The above process is continuously performed in the reproduction mode. The regeneration mode is returned to the stop mode after a predetermined time determined by the timer switching valve 200 (arrow 292). After returning to the stop mode, the flow of raw water is stopped and the regeneration process is stopped.

3. Description of Recycle Bin

Referring to Figs. 7 to 11, a regenerator 400 included in the water softener according to the present invention will be described. 7 is a detailed view of "A" in Fig. 4, Fig. 8 is a cross sectional view taken along the line B-B 'in Fig. 7, Fig. 9 is a cross sectional view taken along line C- D-D '.

FIG. 11A is a perspective view of the separator plate 490, FIG. 11B is a cross-sectional view of the separator plate 490, and FIG. 11C is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the separator plate 490 is fastened to the resin tank distributing passage 520.

3.1. Description of shaft 430

The inside of the regenerator of the water regeneration water softener is usually filled with water, and water pressure is applied. Therefore, when the regenerator is to be opened for regenerant injection or the like, it is difficult to open the regenerator, and there is a concern that the plug may spring up and injure the user.

To prevent this, the conventional hydraulic regenerative water softener further includes a drain valve in a separate regeneration tank. The user must separately open the drain valve for opening the regenerating tube stopper to remove water from the inside of the regenerating tube.

The water softener according to the present invention is intended to prevent such inconvenience.

The regeneration cylinder 400 has a shaft 430 connected to the regeneration cylinder cap 420.

The stepped portion 431 is located at the end of the shaft 430 to prevent the regenerative stopper 420 from being excessively protruded by the shaft spring 440 to be described later.

A drain plug 432 is located at the lower end of the shaft 430. The drain plug 432 automatically seals the drain opening 465 when the regenerative bung cap 420 is closed to prevent the regenerated water from being discharged through the drain 460. [

In addition, when the regenerative bubble cap 420 is opened, the shaft 430 is lifted by the shaft spring 440 so that the drain plug 432 also rises and the drain opening 465 is automatically opened. The operation of opening the separate drain valve in order to open the regenerative cylinder cap 420 is dispensed with.

The shaft 430 is surrounded by a shaft housing 450. The shaft housing 450 includes a shaft upper housing 451 and a shaft lower housing 452 having a diameter larger than the diameter of the shaft upper housing 451. With this configuration, the step portion 431 of the shaft 430 is caught by the shaft housing 450, and when the regenerative stopper 420 is opened, the regenerative stopper 420 is excessively protruded by the shaft spring 440 Can be prevented.

3.2. Description of the separator plate 490

8 and 10, the regeneration water in the regeneration tank 400 is discharged from the regeneration tank 400 through one regeneration water outlet channel 470 and is discharged through the resin tank distribution channel 520 to the respective resin tanks 500a, 500b and 500c, respectively. In this case, if the regenerated water is evenly distributed to the respective resin tanks 500a, 500b, and 500c, the ion exchange resin can be regenerated evenly and effectively generate soft water.

If the regenerated water of the water regenerative water softener is high and the regenerated water outflow channel 470 is directly connected to the resin tank distribution channel 520, the regenerated water pressure is high in the resin tank near the regenerated water outflow channel 470, And the regenerated water pressure is relatively low in the resin tank where the distance is long, so that a small amount of regenerated water is introduced.

To solve this problem, the separator plate 490 is positioned between the regenerated water outlet flow path 470 and the resin tank distributing flow path 520.

Figs. 11A and 11B show a general shape of the separator plate 490 in a perspective view and a cross-sectional view. The separator plate 490 is long in one direction, and one of the long sides is preferably curved (see FIG. 11C). In this case, it is preferable that the curved surface has the same curvature as that of the resin tank distributing passage 520 on the subsequent resin tank distributing passage 520.

A hollow channel 491 is located on the curved surface. The regenerated water introduced through the regenerating water outlet channel 470 is temporarily stored on the hollow channel 491 and then distributed to the respective openings 492. In this case, the water pressure of the regenerated water temporally stored on the hollow channel 491 becomes constant, and the water pressure of the regenerated water distributed to the plurality of openings 492 becomes equal. The regenerated water having passed through the plurality of openings 492 flows into the respective resin tanks 500a, 500b, and 500c through the resin tank distributing passage 520. Thus, a substantially uniform amount of regenerated water flows .

The incoming flow path is shown by arrow 495.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention should not be limited to the contents described in the detailed description of the specification, but should be determined by the claims.
