In this embodiment, the water is guided into the soft inlet channel 19, i.e. the soft inlet channel, by the inner diameter valve core component of the valve cavity 10, the soft inlet channel 19 guides the water into the containing cavity containing the ion exchange filter material, for example, the containing cavity containing the soft resin, the water is softened therein, the softened water flows into the soft outlet channel 20, i.e. the soft outlet channel, through the central tube of the water softener, then flows out of the outlet channel 12 through the valve cavity 10, and is used or stored by a user.
The softening inlet 191 and the softening outlet 201 are arranged at the same end of the valve body 1 and are different from the water inlet 111, the water outlet 121, the waste water port 131 and the salt absorbing port 141, so that the water softener is conveniently connected with an ion exchange tank of the water softener, and the purpose of reasonably utilizing space and reducing volume can be achieved.
Further, a fourth process hole 21 is formed at one end of the valve body 1 where the water inlet 111, the water outlet 121 and the waste water outlet 131 are located, and the fourth process hole 21 is located between the waste water channel 13 and the salt absorbing channel 13;
the fourth process hole 21 extends to be communicated with the soft outlet channel 20 along the first direction, and a fourth communication hole 211 communicated with the valve cavity 10 is formed in the inner wall surface of the fourth process hole 21; the soft water valve further comprises a fourth end cap 8 for covering the fourth process hole 21.
In the present embodiment, the fourth communication hole 211 can be molded by providing the fourth process hole 21 in conformity with the drawing process in injection molding; the flow areas of the waste water channel 13 and the salt absorbing channel 13 are relatively small, so that the structure of the front end of the valve body 1 can be more compact and the occupied space is smaller by arranging the fourth process hole 21 between the waste water channel 13 and the salt absorbing channel 13. By providing the fourth end cap 8 to cover the fourth process hole 21, water can be smoothly guided from the containing cavity filled with the ion exchange filter material to the valve cavity 10 through the soft outlet channel 20 without leakage. In order to enhance the tightness, a sealing ring is arranged at the matching surface of the fourth end cover 8 and the valve body 1.
The invention also provides a water softener, which comprises an ion exchange tank, a salt tank and a soft water valve, wherein the specific structure of the soft water valve refers to the embodiment, and as the water softener adopts all the technical schemes of all the embodiments, the water softener at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical schemes of the embodiments, and the detailed description is omitted.
The foregoing description is only of the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, and all equivalent structural changes made by the description of the present invention and the accompanying drawings or direct/indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the scope of the invention.
