Description

Fluid treatment system

The present invention relates to a fluid processing system, and more specifically, to a fluid processing system that can filter fluid supplied from a water source into various forms depending on its purpose and supply it to a demand destination.

The number of devices being equipped is increasing. The above devices, which can be represented by water purifiers, etc., are configured to filter water delivered to the final destination through various routes such as pipes just before it is discharged.

Water purifiers are often provided for drinking water. In other words, the water discharged from the water purifier is mainly used for drinking by users. At this time, the water delivered to the water purifier may be mixed with various microorganisms or impurities, and the water purifier is equipped with various types of filters to filter out the microorganisms or impurities.

Recently, requirements related to the quality of water used not only for drinking but also for domestic purposes, such as showering, washing dishes, laundry, etc., are increasing. Accordingly, technologies are being developed to filter not only the water immediately before being discharged, but also the supplied water itself and then supply it to the final destination.

The above technologies, that is, a system that can perform filtration before being supplied to the final destination, are referred to as a Point-of-Entry (POE) type water purification system. The POE type water purification system is equipped with a separate filter to filter water supplied from a water source, that is, raw water. Accordingly, the raw water can be filtered once and then supplied to the final destination, for example, homes.

At this time, the final demand place is equipped with various facilities to discharge the delivered purified water. For example, the final demand location may be equipped with various types of facilities such as water purifiers, showers, and faucets. At this time, each facility discharges purified water for different purposes. For example, a water purifier dispenses purified water for drinking purposes, and a shower dispenses purified water for cleaning purposes.

As described above, the purified water discharged from the facility has been filtered once by a POE type purification system. Accordingly, although the purified water discharged from the above equipment satisfies the standards for being provided to users, it is difficult to actively respond to the water discharge purpose of each equipment.

For this purpose, each facility is usually equipped with elements for additional filtration. For example, water purifiers are equipped with members such as carbon filters to produce purified water more suitable for drinking. The shower is equipped with members such as a water softener to generate purified water more suitable for washing. However, in the above case, since a separate member must be provided for each facility provided at the final demand location, there is a risk that economic efficiency and convenience of installation may be reduced.

Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-011161 discloses a fine bubble liquid supply system. Specifically, a fine bubble liquid supply that can be supplied to the entire house or building with raw water filtered and fine bubbles injected, using a single fine bubble liquid generating device installed outdoors to be located downstream of the water purification device. Start the system.

However, the fine bubble liquid supply system disclosed in the prior literature only discloses a configuration for supplying a liquid for generating fine bubbles in filtered raw water. In other words, the above prior literature does not suggest a method for performing additional filtration in different ways depending on the characteristics of each configuration from which purified water is discharged.

Korean Patent Document No. 10-1525308 discloses a portable water purifier that doubles as a shower head and has a complex water purification function. Specifically, a portable water purifier is disclosed that has a filter built into a handle and can be combined with a shower, etc. to further filter purified water.

However, the portable water purifier that doubles as a shower head and has a complex water purification function disclosed in the preceding literature must be installed at the final point where purified water is discharged. In addition, the portable water purifier suggested in the preceding literature can perform filtration for the purpose of cleaning, but is difficult to perform filtration for the purpose of drinking. Therefore, the above prior literature does not suggest a method for performing additional filtration tailored to the purpose of use of the purified water discharged from each configuration without installing additional members in the already-equipped configuration.

In particular, a variable flow path member (not shown) may be rotatably coupled to the upper cover coupling portion 220. Due to the above combination, the flow path of the fluid flowing into the filtering unit 200 may be changed.

The shape of the cover coupling portion 220 may change depending on the shapes of the filtering body 210 and the filter member 240.

Specifically, the fluid located on the radially outer side of the filter member 240 may pass through the filter member 240 in a radially inward direction, flow into the hollow formed inside the filter member 240, and be filtered.

In addition, the fluid located in the hollow formed inside the filter member 240 can pass through the filter member 240 in a radially outward direction and clean foreign substances accumulated in the filter member 240.

That is, the fluid processing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be configured to filter the fluid or clean the filter member 240 by changing the flow path of the fluid flowing into the filtering space 211.

The filter member 240 extends in the same direction as the extension direction of the filter body 210. In the illustrated embodiment, the filter member 240 extends in the vertical direction.

The hollow extends along the extension direction of the filter member 240, in the vertical direction in the illustrated embodiment, and each end in the extension direction is open. The hollow communicates with the second communication part 222 and the discharge communication part 230.

In a state where the filter member 240 filters the fluid, the fluid flowing into the hollow may flow to the external water reservoir D through the second communication part 222 of the upper cover coupling part 220.

In a state in which the filter member 240 is cleaned by fluid, that is, the second state (S2), the fluid flowing into the hollow flows radially outward and cleans the filter member 240, and then flows into the discharge communication portion 230. It can be discharged to the outside through .

Therefore, foreign matter mixed in the fluid accumulates in the hollow fiber 241 in a radial direction from the outside to the inside.

Meanwhile, the fluid remaining in the hollow of the filter member 240 flows through the hollow fiber 241 in a radially outward direction. Accordingly, by the flow, foreign matter accumulated in the hollow fiber 241 is pressed in a radial direction from the inside to the outside and can be removed from the hollow fiber 241.

In the illustrated embodiment, two turbidity sensors 510 are provided, respectively, at the first filtration inlet 311 on the upstream side and the first filtration outlet 312 on the downstream side.

This means that the fluid (i.e., raw water) before passing through the filtration unit 200 flows in the first filtration inlet 311 on the upstream side, and the filtration unit 200 flows in the first filtration outlet 312 on the downstream side. This is due to the flow of filtered fluid passing through.
