Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an inexpensive and compact water purifier having a timer extremely facilitated in handling or correspondence and utilizing a pulse oscillation mechanism by providing a timer measuring the elapse of time by an oscillation pulse in the water purifier directly connected to a tap water cock. CONSTITUTION:A cock direct connection type water purifier having a sensor for measuring the life of a module due to the elapse of an integrated filter time built therein and connected to a cooking timer is equipped with an electronic circuit part, a ten key 3, an LCD display part 4, a start button 5, a buzzer 6, a stop button 7, a battery, a substrate, a module life sensor 10, the count start button 11 of the sensor 10, an adsorbing material such as active carbon, a hollow yarn membrane or the like. At the time of use, for example, an indication time is set by the ten key 3 of the timer and, after the numerical value shown on the LCD display part 4 is confirmed, the start button 5 is pushed to start counting and, at the same time when the numerical value of the LCD display part 4 becomes zero, an alarm such as a buzzer is sounded to indicate specified time.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a water purifier having a timekeeping function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a water purifier having an adsorption part for activated carbon and a filtration part made of a porous hollow fiber membrane has been widely used as a purifier for raw water such as tap water, and a timer such as a cooking timer. Is also widely used as an essential item in the daily work of housewives in ordinary households. And these exist and function as separate things.

[0003]

In the conventional use, the water purifier and the timer are often placed in different places. Especially, the recent timer is compact and can be placed anywhere. On the other hand, although it is easy to place, it is often placed in a non-uniform place or placed in a position where it is difficult to see it, and in many cases it is lost and is not effectively utilized.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the inventor of the present invention uses a faucet direct connection type water purifier that is always fixed at a specific position to further mount an electronic circuit having an oscillation function. In the water purifier, by using the pulse that the electronic circuit oscillates,
We have completed a water purifier with a so-called timer function that informs the user with a buzzer when the time comes, and provide a water purifier with both such a water purifier function and a timer function. This is the purpose.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems The subject matter of the present invention is to provide a water purifier having a filtering portion composed of an adsorbent, a hollow fiber membrane, etc., which is used by being directly connected to a tap water tap. It is a water purifier characterized in that it has a built-in timer for measuring the passage of time with an oscillation pulse.

[0006]

[Function] Since the timer is installed in the faucet direct connection type water purifier, the timer is installed in the same place, and it is in the place where it is most easy to see. Does not occur. In addition, when the timer is detachably attached, the water purifier and the timer can be managed separately, and the product is easy to handle without being bulky when storing or transporting the product.

Furthermore, when a water purifier with a built-in pulse oscillation function coexists with a timer, a built-in timer that shares the pulse oscillation function can be provided, and the timer shape becomes compact.

[0008]

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an example of a state in which a faucet direct connection type water purifier having a built-in sensor for measuring the service life of a module according to the elapsed filtration time and a timer for cooking are combined in the water purifier of the present invention. It is the external view shown, FIG. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing an example of a case where a timer is provided in a water purifier with a built-in pulse oscillation function, and FIG. 3 is an example of a case where a water purifier with a built-in pulse oscillation function is provided with a timer. It is a connection diagram in the case of showing.

1 is a water purifier directly connected to the faucet, 2 is an electronic circuit section,
3 is a numeric keypad, 4 is an LCD display unit, 5 is a start button, 6 is a buzzer, 7 is a stop button, 8 is a battery, and 9 is a substrate. Further, 10 is a module life sensor, 11 is a count start button of the module life sensor, 12 is an adsorbent such as activated carbon, and 13 is a hollow fiber membrane.

FIG. 1 is an example of a case where a timer is connected to the head of the faucet direct connection type water purifier 1, and the connected timer may be a commercially available one.
The pulse oscillating mechanism or the like of the electronic circuit unit 2 built in the module life sensor or the like may be partially used. The timer may be either electronic or mechanical.

The position where the timer is coupled to the head of the faucet direct connection type water purifier 1 may be the top shown in FIG.

As a method of joining, any method such as adhesion or sticking may be adopted. In that case, if it is detachable, the handling becomes easy.

When used, the timer may be used in the same manner as a general timer. For example, the user designates a designated time with the ten-key 3 of the timer provided in the water purifier and is displayed on the LCD display section 4. After confirming the numerical value, press the start button 5 to start counting,
At the same time when the numerical value on the LCD display section 4 becomes 0, a buzzer or the like sounds and the user is notified that the designated time has come.
The stop button 7 is for the user who recognizes and confirms the alarm to stop and reset the alarm, but may be provided so as to stop and reset the timer midway.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a built-in electronic circuit in which the electronic circuit section 2 and the battery 8 are built in the head of the water purifier,
Only the operation parts such as the display part 4, the ten-key pad 3, the start button 5, the stop button 7, etc. are provided outside the water purifier 1, and in this case, the electronic circuit 2 and the battery 8 are shown.
Can be shared with those provided for a sensor for measuring the life of the module of the water purifier 1. FIG. 3 is a connection diagram showing an example of the connection state.

The operation itself by the user during use is the same as in the case of FIG. 1, and the frequency of the pulse oscillated in the electronic circuit section 2 separately provided in the water purifier 1 is divided and counted to count the timer. It becomes possible to measure as an oscillation pulse.

[0016]

In the water purifier of the present invention, the water purifier and the timer which have been completely separate from each other in the conventional installation location and function are combined into one, and the water purifier is connected to the faucet direct connection type water purifier. It is fixed and handling and handling are extremely easy.

If a pulse oscillating mechanism such as a module life measuring sensor attached to the water purifier is used, a new pulse oscillating mechanism is not required, and only a part of an additional mechanism such as a display unit and an operating unit is required. It can be an inexpensive and compact water purifier with a timer.
