TITLE - An automatic valve for water conditioning through 5 cycles operation and process of water conditioning.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION :-
The present invention relates to a water conditioning system and more particularly to water softness, which includes a valve body retaining a spool for alternately connecting ports, for water conditioning application like softening, de-mineralizing through five cycle's operation. Generally conditioning the water up till its rate capacity after which the media has to be again recharged using specific chemicals to make it working condition once chemicals to make it in working condition one again. The intermediate steps also include a quick washing of the unit.
Patent No. KR20040101134 wherein an automatic drain valve for public water service is provided to improve the water quality by managing stagnant water effectively and to obtain the effective data for analyzing the quantity of following water by measuring exactly. Valve operates on operating time switch, operating period switch, operating switch, a stopping switch but in the present invention, 5 cycles operations are performed and the magnets in the process sensor wheel select a particular cycle, i.e. automatically a cycle is selected.

DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION :-
The present invention relates to an automatic valve for water conditioning, and process of conditioning water comprising the following steps, the valve having an inlet (1), further embodiment of the present invention is that the inlet port of the automatic valve (A V) which enters into the compartment (a) as shown in fig. 2, some water may enter through inlet disc and passes through hollow (4) through channel (b) and enters into the compartment (c) as shown in fig.2. The compartment C is closed chamber having a flexible diaphragms (5), which has the largest surface area all the disc and therefore determine the action of the valve. The water into compartment C presses the diaphragm towards side R hence the entire spindle moves towards R and takes the specific position for service cycle.

In the further embodiment of the present invention that when the raw water entering compartment a, cannot go to compartment g, raw water enters compartment h, the water takes a path through port d, into the Port 1, of out side vessel. The conditioned water comes out through port 2, enters compartment e, of AV and find the only path
into compartment f, and goes through outlet port o,
In this service position the solenoid valve is closed hence water from compoartment e, does not have any other path
Back wash Cycle :-
In the back wash cycle, it is required to reverse the direction of flow in after conditioning vessel. This is achieved in following sequences.
The electronic controller energizes geared motor (12), based on fixed timing. Cam 8a fixed on the geared motor rotates anticlockwise by 90 degree and pushes follower cap (7), simultaneously cam 8 b pull up lift lever (10) and fast wash disc (11),
The follower cap (7) which was pushed inside also pushes control disc (6) inside, tis action depressurized chamber C, since water in chamber C is ejected through channel J and out to channel D. As a result the entire spindle is shifted towards side L.
Incoming water from port I enters channel a and can only enter channel g and enters port and e. This raw water then enters port 2, of the conditioning vessel (reverse flow),

Back washed water along with first comes out through port I, enters the valve through port d and goes out through port k, 1 and D,
Process sensor wheel (11) has magnets placed at suitable locations for position
encoding.
Brine injection / Recharged injection cycle (Fig 5) the geared motor turns the company another 90 degree to get the brine injection position. In this position can 8a does not disturb the position of follower cap, keep it pushed. However cam 8b pushes lift lever towards the right such that the fast was disc (9) closes the back wash port.
Water entering port I and a cannot enter channel h, but enters channel g, the water in channel g, has only one path, therefore enters channel m, towards injector (13). In this brine injection cycle solenoid valve (v) energized and therefore opens the line, Water form channel m entering injector 13, sucks regenerate (recharging fluid and brine) this mixture leaves the injector through channel n and enters channel e. This mixture flows through channel n, e comes out to port 1, d goes out through channel k, 1,D.
SLOW RINSE (FIG. 6)
In the slow rinse cycle, the solenoid valve V is de-energized and therefore suction of regenerate is stopped. The valve mechanism remains in the same position, hence the flow another than regenerate suction remains same for a specified time.
5

FAST RINSE (FIG. 7)
In the fast rinse cycle the geared motor advantages the cam 8 anticlockwise by 90degree, cam 8a doesn't disturb the position of follower, however cam 8b pulls the lift lever (9) and fast wash disc.
Water entering port I, enters channel a and g. Majority of water will move from channel g in to channel p, e will come out to port 1.
This fast rinse salty water will move out through channel d, k and port D, A small part of water from channel solenoid valve is closed, this fast rinse cycle will be on for specific time,
Hence 5 valve cycle comprising of service, back wash, injection, slow rinse, fast rinse is completed and followed then by service cycle.

WE-CLAIM:-
1) An automatic valve for water conditioning, and process of conditioning water comprising, a valve having an inlet (1) fig. 1, and outlet (3) for passing the
conditioned water figure (1), wherein the inlet port of the automatic valve (AV) which enters into the compartment (a) fig. 2, some water enters through inlet disc and passes through hollow (4) through channel (b) and enters into the compartment (c) fig. 2. and the compartment C is closed chamber having a flexible diaphragms (5), which has the largest surface area all the discs determine the action of the valve, water in compartment C presses the diaphragm towards side R hence the entire spindle moves towards R and takes the specific position for service cycle, and the raw water entering compartment a, cannot go to compartment g, raw water enters compartment h, the water takes a path through port d, in to the Port 1, of out side vessel, the conditioned water comes out through port 2, enters compartment e, of AV and find the only path into compartment f, and goes through outlet port o, In this service position the solenoid valve is closed hence water from compartment e, does not have any other path.
2) An automatic valve for water conditioning system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the water conditioning is carried out by following steps,
a) Back wash cycle
b) Slow Rinse (Fig. 6)
c) Fast Rinse (Fig. 7),
Wherein in the back wash cycle, is required to reverse the direction of flow after conditioning vessel, the electronic controller energizes geared motor (12), based on

fixed timing. Cam 8a fixed on the geared motor rotates anticlockwise by 90 degree and pushes follower cap (7), simultaneously cam 8b pulls up lift lever (10) and fast wash disc (11),
The follower cap (7) which pushes inside also pushes control disc (6) inside, this
action depressurises chamber C, since water in chamber C is ejected through channel J and out to channel D, as a result the entire spindle is shifted towards side L,
Incoming water from port I enters channel a and only enter channel g and enters port and e, this raw water then enters port 2, of the conditioning vessel (reverse flow),
Washed water comes out through port 1, enters the valve through port d and goes out through port k, 1 and D,
Process sensor wheel (11) has magnets placed for position encoding,
A brine injection / Recharged injection cycle (Fig. 5) the geared motor turns the cam another 90 degree to get the brine injection position, in this position can 8a does not disturb the position of follower cap, keep it pushed, cam 8b pushes lift lever towards the right such that the fast was disc (9) closes the back wash port, water entering port 1 and a cannot enter channel h, but enters channel g, the water in channel g, has only
one path, therefore enters channel m, towards injector (13), in this brine injection cycle solenoid valve (v) energized opens the line,
Water form channel m entering injector 13, sucks regenerate (recharging fluid and brine) this mixture leaves the injector through channel n and enters channel e this mixture flows through channel n, e comes out to port 1, d goes out through channel k, l and D,
