BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, an under sink type drinking water supplying apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 9, the present invention is characterized in that a main body 10 is installed (or embedded) in a lower space of an installation place, and is provided with a discharge means 20 such as a powder set 20 or a nozzle member 25, (Or exposed) to an upper space of the installation place, and more particularly to an under-

Although the embodiment is shown as being installed in a kitchen sink in the drawing, the present invention may be applied to increase the space utilization of various installation places such as a table, a water supply station, and the like.

1 to 4, the first embodiment of the under-sink type drinking-water supplying apparatus according to the present invention includes a main body 10 installed in a lower space of an installation place such as a storage space under the sink, , And a faucet (20) installed in an upper space of an installation place such as a sink provided on the upper part of the sink.

The main body 10 is connected to a general water pipe to purify raw water which is not purified, and is installed in such a manner that it is not exposed to a lower space of an installation place such as a lower storage space of a sink,

And a cold water direct cooling module (12) and / or a hot water direct temperature module (13) provided on a pipe connected to the filter part (11).

The linear filter portion 11 is configured such that one pipe is connected to a general water pipe and the other pipe is connected to the cold water direct cooling module 12 and / or the hot water direct heating module 13,

In this linear type filter unit 11, a plurality of filters provided with various filtering means are connected in series, and when water to be eaten is discharged through the powders 20, the purified water is purified while the commercial water passes through the filters.

Of course, the specific configuration of the linear filter unit 11 may be varied according to various known filtering methods, and the filter module constituting the individual filter unit 11 and / As shown in FIG.

The selection of the direct cooling module or the direct temperature module may be different depending on the model of the drinking water supply device (cold water supply type, cold / hot water supply type), and in this specification, do.

The direct cooling module and the direct temperature module of the present invention are a direct cooling type and a straight type heating type used in a known direct water type water purifier.

That is, rather than providing cold / hot water by cooling and heating each tank in the state where purified water is separately stored in a cold water / hot water tank like a general stand type water purifier,

When the water flows out through the nozzle unit 22 like a half-type water purifier (water purifier), instantaneous cooling or heating is performed while the purified water passes through the pipe of the main body 10, to be.

Typically, in the known direct cooling module and the direct temperature module, the refrigerant circulation pipe is wound in the form of a coil outside the purified water pipe, and while the purified water passes between the refrigerant circulation pipes, heat exchange with the refrigerant circulating in the refrigerant circulation pipe To generate hot / cold water.

By introducing the linear type direct cooling / direct temperature module in this way, it is advantageous to further downsize the size of the main body 10 provided in the lower space of the sink.

Hereinafter, the piping connection structure between the filter unit 11 and the direct cooling / direct temperature modules 12, 13 will be described in detail.

4 to 8, the filter unit 11 connected to the raw water supply unit 14 includes first to third pipes 15, 16 and 17 for supplying purified water and cold / hot water, The first to third pipes 15, 16 and 17 are all connected to the discharging means (the faucet 20) through the main pipe 18.

In the first water inlet pipe 15, a purified water at room temperature flows into the water outlet pipe 18 without a separate module,

The second water supply pipe 16 is provided with a direct cooling module 12, in which cold water cooled to a predetermined temperature or lower flows to the outflow pipe 18,

The third water supply pipe 17 is provided with a direct temperature module 13 so that hot water heated to a predetermined temperature or higher flows to the water outlet pipe 18,

And is discharged through the powders 20.

The respective pipes 15, 16 and 17 are provided with supply valves (solenoid valves) 15a, 16a and 17a for turning on / off the supply of purified water to / from the filter unit 11 .

The outflow pipe 18 is connected to the faucet 20 on one side and to the drain on the other side and is connected to the first to third inflow pipes 15 and 16 between the outflow unit and the drainage unit. (17) are connected.

In addition, a drain valve (solenoid valve) 18a for turning on / off the discharge of the residual water between the drain pipe and the drain is provided in the drain portion of the outflow pipe 18.

The drain valve 18a is normally kept open so that the remaining amount of the pipe is automatically discharged when not in use (that is, when the outflow operation is not performed).

Therefore, when the user operates the outflow of purified water or cold / hot water to the operation panel 23, the water supply valve 18a is locked, and the supply valve of the relevant pipe is opened and the water outflow is performed.

When the water supply is completed, the supply valve is locked so that the drain valve 18a is automatically opened again without any operation, and the drain valve 18a is automatically opened again to connect the respective pipes 15, 16, 17 and the outflow pipe 18 The remaining amount of water is automatically discharged through the drain, and the opening of the drain valve 18a is maintained at all times except during the outflow.

Therefore, according to the present invention, no residual water remains in the piping after using the purified water and the cold / hot water, the next water outflow is not affected, and the user can immediately receive and use the water required by the user.

That is, when residual water remains in the pipes between the supply valves 15a, 16a, 17a and the drain valve 18a, the residual water is first discharged at the next water discharge, In the case of using hot water, the cold / hot water can not be brought out to the proper temperature due to the residual water at room temperature. Therefore, there is a case where the water that is initially watered out is discarded according to a certain amount. .

Of course, the discharge of such residual water is automatically performed after use, and it is also possible that the water is discharged to the discharging means after the discharged water is automatically discharged before use.

5, a distributing valve 20a (solenoid valve) is additionally provided in the discharging means (the faucet 20), and a separate discharging pipe 28 is provided in the distributing valve 20a The remaining water remaining in the piping can be automatically discharged to the discharge pipe 28 by using the dispensing valve 20a after using the purified water and the cold / hot water.

The dispensing valve 20a is operated so as to open the connecting portion of the discharge pipe 18 so that the respective pipes 15, 16, 17, The remaining amount of water remaining in the water outlet pipe (18) is automatically discharged through the discharge pipe (28).

It is also possible that the discharge of such residual water is not automatically performed after use but also that the water is discharged to the discharging means after the discharged water is automatically discharged before use.

When the distributing valve 20a and the drain valve 18a are used at the same time, the discharge of the residual water is quicker and more complete, thereby preventing the occurrence of a temperature difference due to the residual water at the time of normal outflow.

Of course, the dispensing valve 20a can also be used for discharging the disinfecting water to be described later and for relieving the residual pressure of the piping.

In addition, the piping connection structure makes it possible to sterilize the pipes 15, 16 and 17 using hot water.

6 shows the disinfection of the outflow pipe 18 using the hot water. The hot water disinfection can be operated by the operation panel 23 or the hot water disinfection can be automatically operated for each cycle.

When the sterilization mode is activated, only the supply valve 17a of the third water supply pipe 17 is opened while the valves 15a, 16a and 18a are closed, and the direct temperature module 13 operates.

At this time, the direct temperature module 13 in the sterilization mode heats the purified water to a higher (sterilizable) temperature than the normal hot water.

The high-temperature sterilized water is sterilized while flowing along the whole of the outflow pipe 18, and then the drain valve 18a is opened and the remaining sterilization water is drained.

7 shows circulation sterilization of the whole piping using hot water,

A branch pipe 19 for sterilizing water circulation is connected between the third water supply pipe 17 and the first and second water supply pipes 15 and 16, Circulation valves (solenoid valves) 17b and 19a are provided on the water intake side and the intake side of the branch pipe 19, respectively.

In this configuration, when the circulation sterilization is performed on the operation panel 23, the valves 15a, 16a, and 18a are locked and the supply of the third water supply pipe 17 is performed while the first circulation valve 17b is opened. Only the valve 17a is opened and the direct temperature module 13 operates.

In this case, as described above, the direct temperature module 13 heats the purified water at a temperature higher than the normal hot water.

The high-temperature sterilized water heated while passing through the third water supply pipe 17 is partially sterilized while flowing along the water discharge pipe 18 and the discharging means, and the other part is sterilized through the branch pipe 19, The supply valves 15a and 16a of the first and second water supply pipes 15 and 16 are opened to flow into the second intake pipe 15 and 16, Only the first and second water supply pipes 15 and 16 are opened and the first and second water supply pipes 15 and 16 and the filter unit 11 are locked. Sterilized water is passed through the first and second water supply pipes 15 and 16 to the outflow pipe 18 and sterilized.

The sterilized water circulating through all the pipes is drained by the outlet or drain valve 18a and / or the opening of the distributor valve 20a through the faucet 20.

Further, such a piping connection structure is used to eliminate residual pressure remaining in each of the pipes 15, 16, 17 and 18 when the filter is replaced.

8, when the supply valves 15a, 16a, 17a and the drain valve 18a are opened while the raw water is shut off, the residual water remaining in the pipes is forcedly drained, It is possible to solve the problem that the filter is not separated or the water flows backward during the filter replacement operation.

Although not shown in the drawings, this automatic discharge can replace the drain valve 18a or additionally allow for forced drainage via a drain pump connected to the drain valve 18a, and can be drained directly or through a separate chamber After reaching a fixed amount, it can be drained by a drainage pump.

Therefore, the user sets the temperature of the cold / hot water using the operation panel 23,

The purified water that has passed through the filter unit 11 is immediately discharged through the body portion 21 and the nozzle unit 22 without cooling or heating through the first pipe 15,

When the cold / hot water is selected, the cold / direct temperature module operates, and the purified water passing through the filter unit 11 passes instantaneously through the direct / indirect temperature module of the second and third water supply pipes 16 and 17 Is discharged through the body portion (21) and the nozzle portion (22) in a cooled or heated state,

At this time, water volume and water pressure can be adjusted according to the user's need.

Accordingly, the present invention uses a direct cooling and direct temperature module, particularly, a direct cooling type and a direct type direct temperature module capable of instantaneous cooling and heating while accommodating the main body 10 in the same manner as a conventional under sink type water purifier. It is more advantageous to downsize the under-sink type drinking water supply device while using both the common water and the cold water as well as the ordinary water, and it is convenient to use the faucet 20 through the integral or detachable operation panel 23 However, it is possible to discharge the residual water through the drain valve, so that there is an advantage that the cold / hot water can be used immediately.
