When the water softener 31 softens water, water flows into the softening chamber 3105 through the soft water inlet 3101 and softens in the softening chamber 3105, and the softened water is discharged through the soft water outlet 3102; when the softened resin in the softening cavity 3105 is adsorbed and tends to be saturated, the softened resin in the softening cavity 3105 needs to be reduced, specifically: water first flows into the regeneration chamber 3106 from the regeneration water inlet 3103, absorbs the regeneration salt in the regeneration chamber 3106 to form brine, and the brine flows into the softening chamber 3105 to replace calcium and magnesium ions in the softening resin. After the regeneration salt in the regeneration chamber 3106 is consumed to some extent, the user can replenish the regeneration salt from the salt addition port 3104.
The soft water inlet 3101 of the water treatment device 30 is connected with a soft water inlet pipe 61, the regenerated water inlet 3103 is connected with a regenerated water inlet pipe 62, the soft water outlet 3102 is connected with a soft water outlet pipe 63, the overflow port 3232 is connected with a salt throwing drain pipe 64, the soft water inlet pipe 61, the regenerated water inlet pipe 62, the soft water outlet pipe 63 and the salt throwing drain pipe 64 are pivotally connected with the base 10 through a connecting piece 50, thereby realizing the water supply mode when the drawer 20 is pulled.
The water control device 40 comprises a water inlet reversing device 41 and a water outlet reversing device 42.
The water inlet reversing device 41 is provided with a first inlet 411, a first outlet 412, a second outlet 413 and a third outlet 414, wherein the first inlet 411 is communicated with the water inlet 102, the first outlet 412 is communicated with the soft water inlet 3101 through a connecting water pipe 60, the second outlet 413 is communicated with the regeneration water inlet 3103 through a connecting water pipe 60, the third outlet 414 is communicated with the water outlet 103, and the first inlet 411 is selectively communicated with the first outlet 412, the second outlet 413 and the third outlet 414.
The water outlet reversing device 42 is provided with a second inlet 421, a third inlet 424, a fourth inlet 425, a fourth outlet 422 and a fifth outlet 423, wherein the second inlet 421 is communicated with the soft water outlet 3102 through the connecting water pipe 60, the fourth outlet 422 is communicated with the water outlet 103, the fifth outlet 423 is communicated with the water outlet 104, the second inlet 421 is selectively communicated with the fourth outlet 422 and the fifth outlet 423, the third inlet 424 is communicated with the third outlet 414 and is selectively communicated with the fourth outlet 422 and the fifth outlet 423, and the fourth inlet 425 is communicated with the overflow port and is communicated with the fifth outlet 423.
When the clothes treating apparatus is in operation, the water outlet reversing device 42 is in a power-off state, and at this time, the second inlet 421 and the third inlet 424 of the water outlet reversing device 42 are both communicated with the fifth outlet 423.
If the washing program selects soft water, the first inlet 411 is connected to the first outlet 412, and the tap water flows into the softening chamber 3105 through the soft water inlet pipe 61 via the inlet water diverting device 41. The softened resin softens the tap water entering the softening cavity 3105, the softened resin adsorbs calcium and magnesium ions in the tap water, the softened soft water flows into the water outlet reversing device 42 through the soft water outlet 3102 and the soft water outlet pipe 63, the water outlet reversing device 42 is controlled to be powered on, so that the second inlet 421 is communicated with the fourth outlet 422, and the softened soft water can flow out of the water outlet 103 and enter the washing drum of the washing assembly 200 through the water pipe 71.

The main board of the laundry treating apparatus may determine whether the reduction treatment of the softened resin is required according to the amount of water treated or the number of times of use of the water softener 31. After the selective reduction process, the first inlet 411 is communicated with the second outlet 413, and the regeneration control member 316 (e.g., a solenoid valve) of the water softener 31 is controlled to be opened, so that a certain amount of tap water flows into the regeneration chamber 3106 of the water softener 31 through the regeneration water inlet pipe 62 from the second outlet 413, and simultaneously an equal amount of concentrated brine is discharged into the softening chamber 3105. The regeneration control member 316 is controlled to be closed, the strong brine is kept still in the softening cavity 3105 for a certain time, and sodium ions in the strong brine replace calcium and magnesium ions adsorbed on the softening resin.
The above operations may be repeated as many times as necessary. Finally, the first inlet 411 is controlled to be communicated with the first outlet 412, tap water flows into the softening cavity 3105 through the soft water inlet pipe 61, salt water and calcium and magnesium ions in the softening cavity 3105 are washed, and the washed water flows into the water outlet reversing device 42 through the soft water outlet 3102 and the soft water outlet pipe 63. The water outlet reversing device 42 is controlled to be powered off, that is, the second inlet 421 is communicated with the fifth outlet 423, and the flushed water is discharged from the water outlet 104 and finally discharged to the sewer through the external water pipe.
The water softener 31 is internally provided with a brine concentration sensor, and when the brine concentration is lower than a set value, the brine concentration sensor can send a signal and display characters or icons on a display screen of the clothes treatment equipment to remind a user of adding salt.
When adding salt, the user pulls the drawer 20 open, unscrews the water softener cover 312, takes out the gland 313, and then adds the regenerated salt to the salt adding port 3104. During the salting process, brine overflows from the salting hole 3104 out of the regeneration cavity 3106 and flows into the overflow groove 3222, and the overflowed brine finally flows out of the overflow hole 3232, is discharged to the water outlet 104 through the salt feeding and discharging pipe 64, and is finally discharged to a sewer through an external water pipe.
After the washing procedure is finished, the user can take out the clothes in the washing drum of the washing assembly 200, then put the clothes into the clothes treatment chamber 201 in the drawer 20, and the air generated by the post-treatment device 80 flows through the clothes in the clothes treatment chamber 201, so that the clothes are sterilized, wrinkle-removed or incense-treated, thereby improving the treatment effect on the clothes and further improving the user experience.
