Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain sterilized mineral water continuously by mixing the mineral component in a mineral cartridge into water by an ultrasonic wave effect then subjecting the water to filtration and UV sterilization. CONSTITUTION:When a push switch 8 is depressed, a solenoid valve opens to supply water into an ultrasonic vessel 4. The mineral component in a mineral cartridge is dissolved and mixed in the water supplied into said vessel 4 by the oscillation effect of an ultrasonic oscillator 42. The mineral-contg. water is then supplied into a filter vessel 5 where impurities are removed by a filter element. Thereafter, the water is supplied into a sterilization vessel 6, where the water is irradiated with the UV light from a sterilization lamp 65 so that the miscellaneous bacteria contained in the water are made extinct. The sterilized water is supplied from a faucet 7 as potable water.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a drinking water dispenser that can continuously sterilize and mineralize drinking water.

Recently, various water purifiers and mineral water makers have come on the market due to the deterioration of the quality of drinking water.However, in conventional mineral water makers, it takes a long time to dissolve the minerals. In water purifiers, it has been impossible to eliminate bacteria over a long period of time no matter what kind of filter material is used.

That is, conventional filter media can only temporarily stop bacteria, but cannot prevent the growth of bacteria. In addition, minerals with bactericidal properties (particles with large silver content or sandy particles C
Even if a filter medium covered with double strands was used, it was impossible to sterilize the mineral water within minutes, and sterilized mineral water could not be obtained continuously.

The present invention was made to solve such problems, and it is possible to continuously obtain sterilized mineral water by physically sterilizing with ultraviolet rays and dissolving an appropriate amount of minerals. The purpose of this invention is to provide a drinking water dispenser with a high temperature.

The present invention will be explained in detail below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

1 is a drinking water supply device, and this drinking water supply device 1 is placed on an installation stand 2. Reference numerals 1 and 3 are the housings of the drinking water supply device 1, and inside this housing 3 (: are ultrasonic container 4, filter 5
, and a sterilization container θ are housed inside. First, the structure of the ultrasonic container 4 will be explained based on FIG.
An ultrasonic diaphragm 43 having an ultrasonic vibrator 42 is fixed to the lower opening of the container body 41 via a packing pad.A lid 45 is placed over the upper opening of the container body 41. Furthermore, a water outlet 46 is formed in the upper part of the container body 41, and a water inlet 47 and an outlet 4e are formed in the lower part. Reference numerals 1 and 49 are mineral cartridges housed in the container body 41. Well, this mineral cartridge 4
9 is a container in which granular rocks belonging to the pearlite family, such as unweathered pearlite and rhyolite, are filled in a water-permeable container, and the water supplied from the water inlet 4) is The water passes through the mineral cartridge 49 and is led out from the water outlet 46.

Next, the structure of the filtration container 5 will be explained based on the fifth factor. 51
is a container body of the filtration container 5, and a water inlet 5a is formed in the approximately central portion of the container body 51 in the vertical direction;
A water outlet 5 is formed at the bottom of the container body 51. Reference numerals 1 and 54 are filters inserted into the container body 51. The container 4 is stably held within the main body 51 by the cover 5b covering the upper opening of the container. 56 is a drain port.

Next (2) The structure of the sterilization container 6 will be explained based on FIG. 6.
1 is a container body, and a water inlet 6 is provided at the bottom of this container body 61.
2 is formed, and its upper part I: is formed with a water outlet 63. Reference numerals 1 and 64 are sterilizing lamp holding fittings provided at the upper opening of the container body 61, and the fittings 64 hold the container body 61. A sterilizing lamp 65 inserted therein is suspended. 66 is the drain port 0 Above are the structures of each container, those containers 4° 5.6
is housed in the housing 6, and a water supply pipe (not shown) is connected to the water inlet 4) of the ultrasonic container 4, and its water outlet 46 is connected to the water inlet 52 of the filtration container 5. The water outlet 53 of the filtration container 5 is connected to the water inlet 62 of the sterilization container 6,
Further, the water outlet 6:I of the sterilization container 6 is connected to a snake lower provided in the housing B.

The drain ports 4s, 5d, and 6e provided in each container are used closed except for cleaning the inside of the container or draining water inside the container.

8 is a button switch for opening and closing the solenoid valve 9 for opening and closing the water supply pipe, 10 is a saucer provided at the bottom of the lower snake, 11 is an operation indicator lamp, and 12 is a housing 3 (two servings). This is the lid body.

The above is the structure of this embodiment.Next, its operation will be described.When the bush switch 8 is pressed, the solenoid valve 9 opens and water is supplied into the ultrasonic container 4. The mineral components in the mineral cartridge 49 are dissolved and mixed into the water supplied into the ultrasonic container 4 by the vibration action of the ultrasonic vibrator 42.The water in which the mineral components are dissolved and mixed is transferred from the ultrasonic container 4 to the filtration container. Supplied within 5,
Impurities mixed in the water are removed by a filter body 54 set in the filter container 5. The pure water that has passed through the filter container 5 is supplied into a sterilizing container 6, and a sterilizing lamp 6, The ultraviolet rays emitted kill the miscellaneous C2 contained in the water. Inside this sterilization container, the stronger the ultraviolet rays, the faster it can kill all kinds of bacteria, including viruses, and no matter how strong the ultraviolet rays are, the quality of the water will not change. According to experiments, the chlorine concentration was 100,100pp, and the chlorine concentration in general tap water was 0.
．． Bacillus subtilis spores, which cannot be killed unless the ultraviolet rays exceed 1 to 0.3 pp11), are killed by irradiation with ultraviolet rays for about 8 seconds, and E. coli by irradiation for about 1.3 seconds.

The mineral water thus sterilized in the sterilization container 6 can be obtained as drinking water from the snake lower.

As described above, the present invention mixes the mineral components in the mineral cartridge into water by ultrasonic action, and then
The drinking water supply device is capable of filtering and sterilizing the mineral-containing water, or the drinking water supplied by the drinking water supply device is obtained as sterile mineral water and can be used as drinking water. It has the advantage of being effective. .
