Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below and the features of the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the household water purifying device in the embodiment.

Referring to fig. 1, the household water purification apparatus includes a single-channel desalination module 100 and a pipeline system 200.

Therein, as shown in FIG. 1, the single channel desalination assembly 100 includes a first water inlet 110 and a first water outlet 120. The single channel desalination module 100 purifies water flowing in from the first water inlet 110 when a forward voltage is applied, and the treated water flows out through the first water outlet 120.

It will be appreciated that the single-channel desalination assembly 100 uses only one water inlet and one water outlet for the purification of water flowing therethrough, and thus may be referred to as a single-channel desalination assembly.

The single channel desalination module 100 may not discharge wastewater when purifying water flowing therethrough. Through adopting the desalination subassembly of single current way to carry out the water purification, the water that gets into single current way desalination subassembly 100 can be followed the delivery port and discharged, obtains purification treatment simultaneously, does not produce waste water in this process, has improved the utilization ratio of water.

In some embodiments, the single channel desalination assembly 100 can, of course, also include other water inlets and/or outlets. For example, when the single-channel desalination assembly 100 is flushed and regenerated, the generated wastewater can be discharged through the water outlet. When the single-channel desalination assembly 100 is purifying water flowing through, the water inlets and/or outlets other than the first water inlet 110 and the first water outlet 120 can be closed, thereby forming a single-channel structure.

In some embodiments, the single-channel desalination assembly 100 comprises a physisorption desalination cartridge and/or a chemisorption desalination cartridge.

Illustratively, the chemisorptive desalination cartridge can include at least one of an ion exchange (IX) resin cartridge, a bipolar membrane (Biopolar, BP) electrodeionization cartridge.

Exemplary, the physisorption desalination filter element may include at least one of a Capacitive Desalination (CDI) filter element, a Membrane Capacitive Desalination (MCDI) filter element.

Specifically, the capacitive desalination filter element, the membrane capacitive desalination filter element, the bipolar membrane electrodeionization filter element and the like can cause the directional migration of cations and anions when being electrified, so that the water purification treatment is realized, and the filter elements can be called as electrically-driven single-channel desalination filter elements.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, a schematic diagram of a structure of a bipolar membrane electrodeionization filter cartridge 900 is shown.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the bipolar membrane electrodeionization filter cartridge 900 includes one or more pairs of electrodes 910, and at least one bipolar membrane 920 or a plurality of spaced-apart bipolar membranes 920 is disposed between at least one pair of electrodes 910. Wherein, bipolar membrane 920 includes cation exchange membrane 921 and anion exchange membrane 922, and cation exchange membrane 921 and anion exchange membrane 922 set up relatively, compound together. For example, the bipolar membrane 920 can be produced by a hot press molding method, a bonding molding method, a casting molding method, an anion and cation exchange radical method, an electrodeposition molding method, or the like. Specifically, there is no space between the cation exchange membrane 921 and the anion exchange membrane 922 on one bipolar membrane 920, for example, water does not pass between the cation exchange membrane 921 and the anion exchange membrane 922 on the same bipolar membrane 920 when flowing through the bipolar membrane electrodeionization filter cartridge 900.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the pair of electrodes 910 includes a first electrode 911 and a second electrode 912, wherein the first electrode 911 is disposed opposite to a cation exchange membrane 921 of the bipolar membrane 920 adjacent to the first electrode 911, and the second electrode 912 is disposed opposite to an anion exchange membrane 922 of the bipolar membrane 920 adjacent to the second electrode 912.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the operation principle of the bipolar membrane electrodeionization filter element 900 in the process of purifying water. Here, the potential of the first electrode 911 is higher than that of the second electrode 912, that is, a voltage in a forward direction is applied between the first electrode 911 and the second electrode 912. At this time, anions such as chloride ions in the raw water to be purified move towards the first electrode 911, and replace OH < - > in the anion exchange membrane 922 in the direction of the first electrode 911, and the OH < - > enters the flow channel between the adjacent bipolar membranes 920; meanwhile, cations such as Na + in the raw water move towards the second electrode 912 to replace H + in the cation exchange membrane 921 in the direction of the second electrode 912, and the H + enters the flow channel; h + and OH-are subjected to neutralization reaction in the flow channel to generate water, so that the salt in the raw water is removed, and purified pure water flows out from the tail end of the flow channel.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the piping system 200 includes a first piping 210 and a second piping 220.

Wherein the first pipe 210 is connected to the first water inlet 110 for feeding water to the first water inlet 110.

In some embodiments, first conduit 210 may be connected at one end directly to a tap water line and at the other end to first water inlet 110 of single channel desalination assembly 100.

In some embodiments, the household water purification apparatus further comprises a raw water tank capable of storing water, and one end of the first pipeline 210 is connected to the raw water tank, and the other end is connected to the first water inlet 110 of the single channel desalination assembly 100.

Illustratively, the raw water tank comprises a transparent shell or a transparent window is arranged on the shell, so that a user can conveniently check the water quality, the water level and the like in the raw water tank.

For example, the raw water tank may further include a water injection port through which water to be purified may be added into the raw water tank. For example, the water filling port is connected with a tap water pipe. In an exemplary embodiment, the raw water tank is further provided with a liquid level meter, and when the liquid level in the raw water tank drops to a set value, the raw water tank can control a valve of the tap water pipe to open to feed water to a water feeding port of the raw water tank.

Illustratively, a drive assembly may be disposed in first conduit 210, and may, for example, drive water from the raw water tank to single-channel desalination assembly 100.

Illustratively, the drive assembly may comprise a self-priming pump.

Specifically, the second pipeline 220 is connected to the first water outlet 120, and is used for outputting the pure water obtained after the purification treatment of the single-channel desalination assembly 100.

For example, the water stored in the raw water tank may flow into the single channel desalination module 100 through the first pipe 210, and when the single channel desalination module 100 applies a positive voltage, the flowing water is purified, and the purified water is output through the second pipe 220.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, a first valve assembly 230 is disposed on the first pipeline 210, a second valve assembly 240 is disposed on the second pipeline 220, and the pipeline system 200 further includes a third pipeline 250, one end of the third pipeline 250 is connected to the first valve assembly 230, and the other end is connected to the second valve assembly 240.

Illustratively, the first valve assembly 230 may comprise a three-way valve, three ports of which may be connected to the water inlet side of the first pipeline 210, the first water inlet 110 of the single channel desalination assembly 100, and the third pipeline 250, respectively. The three-way valve may switch the first line 210 to communicate with the single channel desalination assembly 100 or switch the first line 210 to communicate with the third line 250. It is understood that the first valve assembly 230 may also comprise a plurality of two-way valves, and may be capable of switching the first conduit 210 to communicate with the single channel desalination assembly 100, or switching the first conduit 210 to communicate with the third conduit 250.

For example, the second valve assembly 240 may comprise a three-way valve, and three ports of the three-way valve may be connected to the water outlet sides of the first water outlet 120, the third pipeline 250, and the second pipeline 220 of the single-channel desalination assembly 100, respectively. The three-way valve can switch the first water outlet 120 of the single channel desalination assembly 100 to communicate with the second pipeline 220 so that the purified water can be output through the second pipeline 220, and the three-way valve can switch the third pipeline 250 to communicate with the first water outlet 120 of the single channel desalination assembly 100 so that the water in the third pipeline 250 can enter the single channel desalination assembly 100 through the first water outlet 120.

Illustratively, the second valve assembly 240 may also include a plurality of two-way valves, such as one two-way valve that blocks the communication between the first water outlet 120 and the second pipeline 220, so that the water in the third pipeline 250 can enter the single channel desalination assembly 100 through the first water outlet 120.

Illustratively, when the single-channel desalination assembly 100 is applied with a positive voltage, the first valve assembly 230 switches the first pipeline 210 to communicate with the single-channel desalination assembly 100, the second valve assembly 240 can switch the first water outlet 120 and the second pipeline 220 of the single-channel desalination assembly 100 to communicate, and at the same time, the first valve assembly 230 and/or the second valve assembly 240 block the third pipeline 250, so that the water in the first pipeline 210 flows out of the second pipeline 220 after being purified by the single-channel desalination assembly 100, which is convenient for users to use pure water.

For example, the household water purification device may further include a power supply assembly 300, and the power supply assembly 300 is connected to the electrically driven single-channel desalination filter element to supply power to the electrically driven single-channel desalination filter element.

In some embodiments, the voltage at which the power supply assembly 300 supplies power to the electrically driven single-channel desalination cartridge can be adjusted, and the desalination rate of the electrically driven single-channel desalination cartridge changes as the voltage supplied by the power supply assembly 300 is adjusted.

Exemplarily, the running voltage of the electrically-driven single-channel desalination filter element adapted to the water quality can be set according to the difference of the water quality of the using region of the household water purifying device, so that the water purified by the electrically-driven single-channel desalination filter element can meet the requirement. For example, when the quality of water supplied from a tap water pipe is hard, the power supply voltage of the power supply module 300 may be set high; when the water quality of the tap water pipe supply water is soft, the power supply voltage of the power supply module 300 may be set low.

In some embodiments, the household water purification apparatus further comprises a control module 400, the control module 400 is connected to the power supply module 300, the first valve assembly 230 and the second valve assembly 240, and the power supply module 300 is connected to the single-channel desalination module 100. The control component 400 may include, for example, a single chip microcomputer or the like.

For example, the control assembly 400 may control the power supply assembly 300 to apply a voltage in a forward direction, a voltage in a reverse direction, or to de-energize the single channel desalination assembly 100; the magnitude of the voltage output by the power supply assembly 300 to the single channel desalination assembly 100 can also be controlled.

Illustratively, the control assembly 400 may include input devices, which may include, for example, buttons, knobs, touch screens, microphones, and the like.

Illustratively, when the control module 400 detects a water output control operation through an input device, such as a user pressing a water output button, or uttering a voice including a water output command, the power supply module 300 is controlled to apply a forward voltage to the single channel desalination module 100, and the first valve assembly 230 is controlled to switch the first pipeline 210 to communicate with the single channel desalination module 100, and the second valve assembly 240 is controlled to switch the first water outlet 120 of the single channel desalination module 100 to communicate with the second pipeline 220, and the first valve assembly 230 and/or the second valve assembly 240 block the third pipeline 250, so that the water in the first pipeline 210 flows out of the second pipeline 220 after being purified by the single channel desalination module 100, thereby facilitating the user to use pure water.

In some embodiments, the single-channel desalination assembly 100 adsorbs more salts after a period of clean water has passed, and the single-channel desalination assembly 100 can be regenerated.

Illustratively, the single-channel desalination assembly 100 is regenerated when the current time is a predetermined time, such as 7 am.

Illustratively, the single channel desalination assembly 100 is regenerated when the current time is a preset value away from the last regeneration.

Specifically, the single channel desalination assembly 100 can be de-energized or energized in the opposite direction to allow the release of the salt species from the single channel desalination assembly 100 to be washed out with the water flowing through the single channel desalination assembly 100.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3, when a voltage in the opposite direction is applied between the first electrode 911 and the second electrode 912, such that the potential of the first electrode 911 is lower than that of the second electrode 912, OH "and H + ions are generated on the surfaces of the cation exchange membrane 921 and the anion exchange membrane 922 of the bipolar membrane 920 under the action of the electric field, cations such as Na + inside the cation exchange membrane 921 are replaced by H + ions and move toward the first electrode 911 at a low potential, anions such as chloride ions in the anion exchange membrane 922 are replaced by OH" and move toward the second electrode 912 at a high potential, and anions such as Na + and chloride ions enter the flow channel and can be washed away by water flowing through the bipolar membrane electrodeionization filter 900. Therefore, when the power is off or reverse voltage is applied to the desalting filter cores such as the bipolar membrane electrodeionization filter core 900 and the like, cations such as Na < + >, anions such as chloride ions and the like adsorbed on the bipolar membrane 920 are released, so that salt substances in the desalting filter core can be washed out by water to realize regeneration; water carrying cations such as Na + and anions such as chloride ions can be called concentrated water.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 and 4, the single channel desalination assembly 100 further comprises a concentrate outlet 130.

Specifically, when the single-channel desalination assembly 100 is de-energized or a voltage in the opposite direction is applied, the first valve assembly 230 and the second valve assembly 240 operate to allow the water flowing in the first pipeline 210 to flow into the single-channel desalination assembly 100 through the third pipeline 250 and the first water outlet 120 to flush the single-channel desalination assembly 100, and the generated concentrated water flows out through the concentrated water outlet 130.

Illustratively, the concentrate outlet 130 is connected to an outlet valve 140, and when the single-channel desalination assembly 100 is de-energized or a voltage is applied in the opposite direction, the outlet valve 140 opens so that concentrate can flow out through the concentrate outlet 130.

Illustratively, when the single channel desalination assembly 100 is de-energized or a voltage is applied in the opposite direction, the first valve assembly 230 closes the passage between the first conduit 210 and the first water inlet 110, opens the passage between the first conduit 210 and the third conduit 250, and the second valve assembly 240 closes the passage between the first water outlet 120 and the second conduit 220.

Specifically, when the power supply module 300 is controlled to disconnect the power supply from the single-channel desalination module 100 or apply a voltage in the opposite direction, the control module 400 controls the first valve assembly 230 to switch the first pipeline 210 to communicate with the third pipeline 250 and block the first pipeline 210 from communicating with the first water inlet 110, and controls the second valve assembly 240 to block the first water outlet 120 from communicating with the second pipeline 220, so that the water in the first pipeline 210 flows through the third pipeline 250, enters the single-channel desalination module 100 from the first water outlet 120 of the single-channel desalination module 100, carries the salt substances released by the single-channel desalination module 100, and then is discharged through the concentrated water outlet 130.

Illustratively, the household water purification apparatus further includes a waste water tank connected to the concentrate outlet 130, and the concentrate discharged from the concentrate outlet 130 may be stored in the waste water tank. Illustratively, the concentrate discharged from the concentrate outlet 130 may also be discharged through a water pipe.

In other embodiments, the single-channel desalination assembly 100 can be removably received within the interior of a domestic water purification device, such that the single-channel desalination assembly 100 can be removed from the domestic water purification device for flushing when desired, thereby allowing regeneration of the filter elements of the single-channel desalination assembly 100.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, a first conductivity detection assembly 10 is disposed on the second pipeline 220, and conductivity data of the water flowing out of the second pipeline 220 can be detected by the first conductivity detection assembly 10.

The water quality of water at the corresponding position can be detected through the conductivity detection component. For example, the TDS value is a water quality test indicator specifically set for purified water, and represents the total soluble solids content of water. The TDS value can reflect the water quality to a certain degree, and generally, the lower the TDS value is, the less soluble salts such as heavy metal ions in the water are, and the purer the water quality is.

By detecting the conductivity of the effluent at the effluent side of the single channel desalination assembly 100, it can be determined whether the water purification effectiveness of the single channel desalination assembly 100 can meet the requirements.

Specifically, when the conductivity data detected by the first conductivity detection module 10 is not less than the target conductivity, it can be determined that the single-channel desalination module 100 adsorbs more salts in the water purification process, and the single-channel desalination module 100 needs to be regenerated.

For example, when the duration of the conductivity data detected by the first conductivity detection assembly 10 is not less than the target conductivity for more than a predetermined period of time, such as 10 hours, it can be determined that the single channel desalination assembly 100 requires regeneration.

Specifically, the target conductivity may be stored in the memory of the control assembly 400 in advance, or the control assembly 400 may determine the target conductivity according to a setting operation of a user. When the conductivity data of the water exiting the second conduit 220 reaches the target conductivity, it can be determined that the water quality meets the requirements, such as may be used in a dishwasher, a washing machine, and/or may be consumed directly.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, a second conductivity detection module 20 may be disposed on the concentrated water outlet 130, and the second conductivity detection module 20 may be capable of detecting the quality of the concentrated water discharged from the concentrated water outlet 130.

Illustratively, the second conductivity detection assembly 20 is coupled to the control assembly 400. The control assembly 400 may control the power supply assembly 300 to adjust the power supply voltage to the single channel desalination assembly 100 based on the conductivity data detected by the second conductivity detection assembly 20. For example, the greater the conductivity data detected by the second conductivity detection assembly 20, the greater the voltage of the reverse voltage applied by the power supply assembly 300 to the single channel desalination assembly 100 to increase the efficiency of regeneration.

For example, the desalination regeneration may be terminated when the conductivity data detected by the second conductivity detection assembly 20 decreases to a regeneration target value. For example, the first valve assembly 230 switches the first conduit 210 into communication with the single channel desalination assembly 100, and the second valve assembly 240 can switch the first water outlet 120 of the single channel desalination assembly 100 into communication with the second conduit 220, while the first valve assembly 230 and/or the second valve assembly 240 block the third conduit 250; when the single-channel desalination module 100 is applied with a forward voltage, the water in the first pipeline 210 can flow through the single-channel desalination module 100 for purification and then flow out through the second pipeline 220, which is convenient for users to use pure water.

In some embodiments, the first pipeline 210 further comprises a water inlet solenoid valve 211, and the first valve assembly 230 is located between the water inlet solenoid valve 211 and the single channel desalination assembly 100.

For example, the water inlet solenoid valve 211 may also be connected to the control assembly 400, and the control assembly 400 may control the water in the first conduit 210 to be directed to the single channel desalination assembly 100 or to the third conduit 250 when the water inlet solenoid valve 211 is open.

For example, the control assembly 400 may control the intermittent opening and closing of the water inlet solenoid valve 211 when the single-channel desalination assembly 100 is de-energized or when a voltage in the opposite direction is applied. It will be appreciated that by intermittently turning the water inlet solenoid valve 211 on and off, water entering the single channel desalination assembly 100 via the third conduit 250 can flush the single channel desalination assembly 100 in a pulsed water stream, which can increase the efficiency of the regeneration of the single channel desalination assembly 100 and reduce the amount of wastewater generated during the regeneration.

For example, a pressure reducing valve 213 may be provided in the first pipe 210. For example, when the first pipe 210 is connected to a tap water pipe, the water pressure of the first pipe 210 may be lowered to protect the water purification effect of the single channel desalination assembly 100.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, a scale inhibition assembly 251 may be provided on the third pipe 250, the scale inhibition assembly 251 releasing the scale inhibitor into the water when water flows through the third pipe 250.

Illustratively, the scale inhibiting assembly 251 includes a receptacle for holding a scale inhibitor such as citric acid, which can be in communication with the third conduit 250, and water flowing through the third conduit 250 can carry the scale inhibitor into the single-channel desalination assembly 100, clean the single-channel desalination assembly 100, descale the conduits and the single-channel desalination assembly 100 during flushing, and improve the regeneration efficiency of the single-channel desalination assembly 100 and reduce the amount of wastewater during regeneration.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 4, a check valve 252 may be provided on the third pipe 250 to limit the flow direction of the water in the third pipe 250.

Illustratively, the check valve 252 may include a receptacle for holding an anti-scaling agent, such as citric acid, which may be in communication with the third conduit 250, and the water flowing through the third conduit 250 may carry the anti-scaling agent into the single-channel desalination assembly 100, clean the single-channel desalination assembly 100, descale the conduit and the single-channel desalination assembly 100 during flushing, and increase the regeneration efficiency of the single-channel desalination assembly 100 and reduce the amount of wastewater generated during regeneration.

In some embodiments, the single channel desalination assembly 100 is intermittently energized and de-energized in opposite directions.

For example, when the single-channel desalination assembly 100 is regenerated, the control assembly 400 can control the power supply assembly 300 to alternately apply a reverse voltage to the single-channel desalination assembly 100 and cut off the power, that is, apply a reverse voltage to the single-channel desalination assembly 100 for a certain time and then cut off the power for a certain time, and then continue to apply the reverse voltage for a certain time and then cut off the power for a certain time, so as to reduce the power consumption for regeneration.

For example, the control power supply module 300 applies a voltage in the opposite direction to the single channel desalination module 100 when the control inlet solenoid valve 211 is open, and the control power supply module 300 de-energizes the single channel desalination module 100 when the control inlet solenoid valve 211 is closed.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, a heating assembly 212 may be provided on the first pipe 210. The heating assembly 212, which may comprise, for example, a heat exchanger, is coupled to the control assembly 400.

For example, when the single-channel desalination assembly 100 applies a positive voltage to purify the water flowing in the first water inlet 110, the water entering the single-channel desalination assembly 100 can be preheated by the heating assembly 212, for example, the water flowing through the single-channel desalination assembly is heated to 30-70 ℃; after the water is preheated, the ion migration rate is improved, and when the water enters the single-channel desalination assembly 100 for purification treatment, the purification efficiency is higher.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of outlet conduits 260 may be connected to the second conduit 220 at an end thereof remote from the first outlet port 120.

Illustratively, at least one of the water outlet pipes 260 is provided with a heating unit 261. The heating unit 261 includes, for example, a heat exchanger or the like. The heating unit 261 may heat the water flowing out of the second pipe 220 to provide the user with hot water of a desired temperature.

When the single channel desalination assembly 100 applies a positive voltage to purify the water flowing in from the first water inlet 110, the water entering the single channel desalination assembly 100 is preheated by the heating assembly 212, the pure water output from the second pipeline 220 has a higher temperature, so that when the hot water is output from the water output pipeline 260, the heating unit 261 on the water output pipeline 260 has a lower workload, and the water output pipeline 260 can output water with a sufficient temperature, for example, 85-100 degrees of hot water, at a higher speed.

Illustratively, a pure water tank may be connected to an end of the second pipe 220 away from the first water outlet 120, and pure water output from the second pipe 220 may be stored in the pure water tank for a user to take. Illustratively, the plain water tank may be connected to a plurality of water outlet lines 260. Illustratively, at least one of the water outlet pipes 260 is provided with a heating unit 261.

For example, the outlet line 260 may have an outlet valve, and when the outlet valve is opened, the outlet line 260 discharges water.

For example, a water outlet pump may be disposed on the water outlet pipeline 260 to accelerate water receiving speed and reduce waiting time for water receiving of a user.

For example, when the single-channel desalination assembly 100 is powered off or subjected to regeneration by applying a voltage in the opposite direction, the water entering the single-channel desalination assembly 100 can be preheated by the heating assembly 212, for example, by heating the water flowing through the heating assembly to 30-70 degrees; after the water with higher temperature enters the single-channel desalination assembly 100, the salt substances adsorbed by the single-channel desalination assembly 100 can be washed away more quickly and sufficiently, so that the regeneration efficiency can be improved.

Illustratively, the water preheated by the heating assembly 212 may be used to flush the single channel desalination assembly 100 in a pulsed water flow, which may improve the efficiency of the regeneration of the single channel desalination assembly 100, save time, and reduce the amount of wastewater and energy consumption during regeneration.

Illustratively, the heating assembly 212 may include a temperature sensor 30 connected to the control assembly 400, and the control assembly 400 adjusts the heating power of the heating assembly 212 according to the temperature data fed back by the temperature sensor 30 to keep the temperature of the water flowing through the heating assembly 212 not exceeding a preset temperature threshold, thereby preventing the water with too high temperature from damaging the single-channel desalination assembly 100.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, a first filtering assembly 214 may be disposed in the first conduit 210, and the first filtering assembly 214 may perform a certain purification treatment on the water entering the single-channel desalination assembly 100, such as removing particulate impurities, residual chlorine, and the like, in the water, reducing the workload and consumption of the single-channel desalination assembly 100, and prolonging the regeneration cycle and the service life thereof.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, a second filtering assembly 221 may be disposed on the second pipeline 220, and the second filtering assembly 221 may further improve the quality of the pure water output from the household water purifying apparatus.

Illustratively, first filter assembly 214, second filter assembly 221 may include a PP cotton filter element and/or an activated carbon filter element.

Illustratively, the first filter assembly 214 and the second filter assembly 221 have a filter fineness of no greater than 5 microns.

Illustratively, the first filter assembly 214 may include a bacteriostatic filter element and/or a descale filter element.

Wherein, the bacteriostatic filter element contains bacteriostatic particles, for example, the bacteriostatic filter element is filled with silver-loaded carbon, alumina fiber, bacteriostatic resin or bacteriostatic plastic particles. Specifically, the PP cotton and/or the activated carbon may be filled with silver carbon, alumina fiber, bacteriostatic resin, bacteriostatic plastic particles, or the like.

When the water in the first pipeline 210 flows through the bacteriostatic filter element in the first filtering assembly 214, the bacteriostatic ions or compounds in the bacteriostatic filter element slowly precipitate out into the water, and the water with the bacteriostatic ions or compounds can flow into the single-channel desalination assembly 100. When the single-channel desalination assembly 100 is powered on, the single-channel desalination assembly 100 can adsorb bacteriostatic ions or bacteriostatic compounds in water, so that the purified water flowing out of the single-channel desalination assembly 100 can not contain bacteriostatic ions or bacteriostatic compounds, and a user can be ensured to obtain pure water. At the same time, the bacteriostatic ions or compounds remaining in the single-channel desalination assembly 100 can kill or inhibit bacteria, etc. in the single-channel desalination assembly 100, preventing bacterial growth in the single-channel desalination assembly 100.

Wherein, the descaling filter element can be filled with scale inhibitors such as citric acid and the like. As the water in the first pipe 210 flows through the descaling filter, the scale inhibitor slowly precipitates into the water. When the single-channel desalination assembly 100 is subjected to regeneration treatment, water carrying a scale inhibitor enters the single-channel desalination assembly 100 through the third pipeline 250, the single-channel desalination assembly 100 is cleaned, the pipeline and the single-channel desalination assembly 100 can be descaled during flushing, the regeneration efficiency of the single-channel desalination assembly 100 can be improved, and the wastewater amount during regeneration is reduced.

Specifically, the descaling filter element can be connected in parallel with the bacteriostatic filter element, the PP cotton filter element and the activated carbon filter element, at least one end of the descaling filter element is provided with a valve, and the valve is closed when the single-channel desalination assembly 100 performs purification treatment on water flowing through, so that a scale inhibitor can be prevented from entering the single-channel desalination assembly 100; the valve may be opened during regeneration of the single-channel desalination assembly 100.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, the control module 400 is connected to the power module 300, and the power module 300 is connected to the single channel desalination module 100; the control module 400 is further connected to the water outlet valve 140, the water inlet solenoid valve 211, the heating module 212, the first valve assembly 230, the second valve assembly 240, the first conductivity detection module 10, the second conductivity detection module 20, and the temperature sensor 30. The control module 400 can acquire data detected by the first conductivity detection module 10, the second conductivity detection module 20, and the temperature sensor 30, can control the on/off states of the outlet valve 140, the inlet solenoid valve 211, the first valve assembly 230, and the second valve assembly 240, can control the power supply direction and voltage of the power supply module 300, and can control the on/off of the heating module 212.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 6, a water storage unit 351 is disposed on the third pipeline 250.

Specifically, when the first valve assembly 230 opens the passage between the first pipe 210 and the third pipe 250, the water in the first pipe 210 is stored in the water storage assembly 351.

For example, when regenerating the single-channel desalination assembly 100, the single-channel desalination assembly 100 can be de-energized or energized in the opposite direction, and the second valve assembly 240 can be controlled to open the channel between the third conduit 250 and the first water outlet 120, at which time the water in the water storage assembly 351 can flow into the single-channel desalination assembly 100 to flush the single-channel desalination assembly 100.

When regeneration is initiated, water in the water storage module 351 can back flush the single channel desalination module 100, completing the regeneration. The flow direction of the water in the single channel desalination module 100 during the flushing regeneration is opposite to the flow direction during the clean water, and the flushing efficiency is high.

For example, the water storage assembly 351 may include a pressurized water storage tank. When regenerating the single-channel desalination assembly 100, the single-channel desalination assembly 100 can be flushed at a higher pressure, increasing the regeneration efficiency.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 6, a water pump 352 and a third filter assembly 353 are also provided on third conduit 250; water storage assembly 351 is located between third filter assembly 353 and second valve assembly 240.

Specifically, when the first valve assembly 230 opens the passage between the first pipeline 210 and the third pipeline 250, the water pump 352 may be activated to pump the water in the first pipeline 210 into the third filter assembly 353 for purification, and the purified water is stored in the water storage assembly 351.

When regeneration is started, the purified water in the water storage component 351 can reversely flush the single-channel desalination component 100 to complete regeneration, and the single-channel desalination component 100 is flushed through the purified water, so that the regeneration efficiency can be improved.

Illustratively, the third filter assembly 353 can include at least one of a PP cotton filter element, an activated carbon filter element, an RO filter element, and a nanofiltration membrane.

Illustratively, the third filter assembly 353 has a filter fineness of no greater than 5 microns.

For example, the third filter assembly 353 may have a smaller size, and the purified water obtained by the third filter assembly 353 may be stored in the water storage assembly 351 at regular intervals.

Illustratively, the third filter assembly 353 may not participate in the production of pure water when the pure water is produced by a domestic water purification apparatus. For example, when the water outlet control operation of the user is detected, the water pump 352 is not operated or the second valve assembly 240 closes the passage between the third pipe 250 and the first water outlet 120.
