Technical Field

The invention relates to an additional apparatus used in purifiers that make the mains water drinkable and usable.

Prior Art

Devices that make the water flowing from the taps drinkable and more usable are called water purifiers. In the prior art, there are two types of purifiers which are pumped and pumpless. Pumped purifiers make the water more pressurized as a result of the operation of the pump inside. In this way, water is purified at high flow rates. Pumpless purifiers, on the other hand, work with the pressure of the mains water. Especially in places where the mains water pressure is low, treatment is carried out at low flow rates.

In the prior art, the pressure of the mains water may be insufficient, especially in household type pumpless treatment devices. In rural areas, the pressure of the mains water decreases at certain times of the day, while the pressure can increase at some hours. Pumpless treatment devices work effectively only at 4-5 bar levels. When the pressure of the mains water falls below these values, the purification process takes place at very low flow rates. The treatment realized at low flow rates causes the instantaneous needs of the user not to be provided.

Pumpless water purifier is mentioned in the Chinese utility model document with the code CN210559720U included in the prior art. Said water purifier purifies water by reverse osmosis method. In the said document, there is no portable pump set that turns the pumpless purification devices into a device with pump afterwards. A nanofiltration type tankless home use water purifier is mentioned in the Korean patent document with the code KR20040054833A, which is included in the prior art. The water purifier consists of a pre-treatment filter, a pressure pump, a precarbon filter, a main filter, a check valve and a post-treatment filter. It is difficult to repair and install when the pump or other parts fail. In addition, there is no portable pump set in the said document that turns the pumpless purification devices into a device with pump afterwards.

Purpose of the Invention

The aim of the invention is to obtain a pump set that increases the pressure of the water in cases where the water pressure is insufficient, enabling the purification devices to work more effectively.

Another aim of the invention is to obtain a pump set that ensures that the treatment devices can perform the treatment process with a high flow rate in cases where the mains water pressure drops.

Another aim of the invention is to obtain a pump set that can be easily repaired and assembled.

The pump set developed to achieve the mentioned purposes is characterized in that being the portable pump set (20) which turns pumpless water treatment devices including the pump (22), which brings the pressure of the water to the level required for the effective operation of the treatment device, the low pressure switch (21) that prevents the unnecessary operation of the pump (22) if the water is cut off or the pressure is low, and a high pressure switch (23) that stops the pump when the pressure of the tank filled with clean water reaches to a certain level into devices with pump.

Explanation of the Invention

The invention relates to the pump set developed to be used in purification devices that make the water flowing from the taps drinkable and usable. The pump set (20) which is the subject of the invention includes low pressure switch (21), pump (22) and high-pressure switch (23). It also includes mains water inlet (20.1), adapter port (20.2), purified water outlet (20.3) and purified water inlet (20.4) in order to provide connection with the water purifier (10) and the mains water line (30).

The pump set (20) can be subsequently mounted to any water purifier (10) used without a pump. With the pump set (20), the pressure of the mains water line (30) at low pressures is increased, and water is supplied to the water purifier (10) under pressure. In this way, a more effective and higher flow rate purification process is carried out. In addition, in case of any malfunction, it can be repaired more quickly and easily compared to self-pumped treatment systems.

Pump set (20) includes low pressure switch (21), pump (22) and high-pressure switch (23). The low-pressure switch (21) prevents unnecessary operation of the pump (22) if the water is cut off or the pressure is lower than 0.2 bar (3psi). The pump (22) brings the pressure of the water to the level required for the operation of the purification device. The high-pressure switch (23), on the other hand, stops the pump when the pressure of the tank filled with clean water reaches 3.2 bar (46 psi). In alternative applications of the invention, pressure values may vary depending on the filter and/or purification device used.

The mains water hose (31) coming over the mains water line (30) is attached to the water inlet (20.1) on the pump set (20). In this way, the low-pressure mains water is pressurized and sent to the water purifier (10). The water inlet (20.1) ensures that the low-pressure mains water is taken into the system to be pressurized.

If the pressure of the mains water taken into the pump set (20) with the mains water hose (31) is too low or there is no water, the low-pressure switch (21) stops the pump (22). In this way, unnecessary operation of the pump is prevented and excessive energy consumption is prevented.

When water that does not have the desired pressure but has sufficient pressure enters the system, the pump (22) operates and the pressure of the water is increased to the desired level. The pressurized water leaves the water inlet (20.1) and is directed to the water inlet (13) located in the water purifier (10). Said routing is done with hose of water to be purified (60).

The water, the pressure of which is increased by hose of water to be purified (60), enters the water purifier (10). The water to be treated is purified in the filters located in the water purifier (10) and directed to the tap (80) and the purified water outlet (20.3) via the purified water outlet (12). Orientation in two different directions is made with the T connector (51). The purified water inlet (20.4) is connected to the high-pressure switch (23). When the tap (80) is closed and/or the water tank is full, the pump (22) is stopped by the high-pressure switch (23).

The low-pressure switch (21), pump (22) and high-pressure switch (23) located in the pump set (20) operate electrically. The electricity required for the operation of the system is supplied to the system via the adapter port (20.2).

The pump set (20) is connected to the pumpless purification device as follows: Turning off the water flow (mains water) to the purification device, Closing the valve of the water tank and opening the purified water tap,

- Discharging the pressurized water in the water purifier (10) by opening the purified water tap,

- Removing the mains water hose (31 ) coming from the mains water line (30) from the purification device and connecting to the mains water inlet (20.1) on the pump set (20),

Attaching one end of the additional hose coming out of the box to the purified water outlet (20.3) on the pump set (20), and the other end to the mains water inlet (13) on the water purifier (10),

Cutting the purified water hose (50) going from the purified water outlet (12) to the tap (80) in the water purifier (10) currently used in two from a suitable place, and connecting it to the ends of the T connector (51) coming out of the box, Taking the second part of the purified water hose (50), which is divided into two, and attaching one end to one end of the T connector (51) and attaching the other end to the purified water inlet (20.4) on the pump set (20),

- Plugging the pump adapter that comes out of the box into the adapter port (20.2) on the pump set (20) and plugging the plug (70) into the socket (90), Turning on the mains water going to the water purifier (10) and starting the pump set automatically,

The water purifier (10) without a pump is converted into a pumped purification device by opening the water tank valve of the water purifier (10), keeping the tap open until water comes from the tap, closing the tap when water comes.

After the necessary connection process is completed, the pump (22) turns off automatically when the tap (80) is closed and the tank is sufficiently full.

An additional apparatus used in purification devices that make the mains water drinkable and usable, and characterized in that; being the portable pump set (20) which turns pumpless water treatment into devices with pump, including

- the pump (22) which brings the pressure of the water to the level required for the effective operation of the treatment device,

- a low-pressure switch (21) that prevents unnecessary operation of the pump (22) if the water is cut off or the pressure is low, and

- and a high-pressure switch (23) that stops the pump when the pressure of the tank filled with clean water reaches to a certain level.
