The present invention relates to a distillation apparatus for producing distilled water, and more particularly, to a distillation apparatus for preheating fresh water and condensing steam by heat exchange between steam and fresh water during the distillation process.

Techniques for using distillation processes to produce distilled water are known. Common distillation processes for producing distilled water generally include using a water supply vessel to supply water, using a boiling container to heat the water in the water supply vessel to become steam, and Using a heating device to heat the primarily distilled water in the vessel to become a vapor, and first directing the steam from the heating device through the water vessel to condense it first and then condensed water through the coil pipe It is made to be guided to. Distilled water collected in cold water containers can be drunk. The apparatus for the above-mentioned distillation process is complicated, and thus, maintenance work of the apparatus is difficult. Moreover, the production cost of the device is high because two electric heaters are used, and the consumption of power supply during the distillation operation is high.

Japanese Patent No. 3007868, filed by the inventor at 1984.8.12, discloses a distillation apparatus for producing distilled water which can solve the above-mentioned drawback. The distillation apparatus is adapted to heat the water in the upper holding space into a condensation chamber divided into an upper holding space for receiving water from a water source and a lower holding space for condensing the steam into water. A heating chamber having a steam outlet connected to said lower holding space for guiding it into said lower holding space for condensing steam, a hot water chamber containing water condensed from said lower vertical space of said condensing chamber, and said hot water chamber It consists of a cold water chamber for receiving distilled water from the cooling by an electronic cooler (electronic cooler). The structure of the distillation apparatus is functional but still has drawbacks. One drawback of the structure of the distillation apparatus is that the steam tends to condense at the top of the heating chamber, since the steam passage has a downwardly bent portion that conflicts with the upward flow of the steam. . Another drawback of the structure of the distillation apparatus is that the structure is complex. Since the distillation apparatus includes four independent chambers, it is difficult to disassemble the parts of the distillation apparatus during maintenance work.

The present invention is devised to provide a distillation apparatus capable of eliminating the above-mentioned drawbacks. According to the present invention, a distillation apparatus has a stand and an upper portion mounted to the stand and receiving water from an external water source by a partition wall. A condensing device that is separated into a chamber and a bottom chamber for condensing the vapor into distilled water and a heating device suspended from the stand below the condensing device, wherein the heating device comprises a top for heating the water to become steam. A water pipe connected to the upper chamber via a check valve by a guide pipe to receive water from the chamber and connected to the bottom chamber by a steam pipe to direct steam to the bottom chamber for condensing the vapor into distilled water. A vapor outlet is provided. The bottom chamber is installed on the upper right side of the heating apparatus and the heating apparatus is connected to the upper chamber by the steam pipe so that the stocked steam passage allows the bottom portion to condense steam from the heating apparatus to be distilled water. It allows the vapor to be effectively guided to the chamber. Since the structure of this distillation apparatus is simple, maintenance work is easy.

Referring to FIG. 1, the distillation apparatus according to the present invention generally includes a stand 1, a condenser 2 mounted on the top of the stand 1, and a heating device 3 suspended on the stand 1. It is composed of

The condensation apparatus 2 is a water-tight container consisting of an upper chamber 21 and a bottom chamber 22 separated by a partition wall 20. The dividing wall 20 has a dripping end 200 formed at the bottom and an inclined condensation surface 201 extending upward from the dripping end 200 to the outer peripheral portion of the condensation apparatus 2. do. When the vapor is guided into the bottom chamber 22, it condenses in the inclined condensation surface 201 to become water, and the condensed water is moved along the inclined condensation surface 201 to the dripping end 200 and then the dripping end 200 Will be dropped to the bottom of the bottom chamber 22. The upper chamber 21 is a water inlet 23 connected to an external water source and a guide pipe 24 fixed to the center of the dividing wall 20 to guide water to the heating device 3, The guide pipe 24 has a radial through hole formed at a height lower than the height of the water inlet 23 through which water flows from the upper chamber 21 through the guide pipe 24 to the heating device 3. A guide pipe 24 having 240 and a safety switch 25 formed at an upper portion of the upper chamber 21 to automatically block the water inlet 23 when the water level in the upper chamber 21 is higher than a predetermined height. Is done. A check valve 241 is provided in the guide pipe 24 to prevent steam from flowing back from the heating device 3 to the upper chamber 21 of the condensation device 2.

The bottom chamber 22 respectively has an electronic semiconductor cooler 4 and a water faucet 5 formed at the bottom to cool and drink the condensed water, and vapor to condense the steam to make water. It consists of a steam pipe 6 connected to the heating device 3 to guide it from the heating device 3 to the bottom chamber 22. Since steam is condensed on the inclined condensation surface 201 of the dividing wall 20, heat is transferred from the steam to the water in the upper chamber 21, so that the water in the upper chamber 21 condenses the steam. When it becomes water, it is preheated. When the water level in the bottom chamber 22 rises above a predetermined value, a level control switch 26 is mounted inside the bottom chamber 22 to automatically stop the power supply from the heating device 3. do. When the internal pressure of the bottom chamber 22 is higher than a predetermined value, a pressure release valve 27 is mounted at a high position of the bottom chamber 22 to automatically lower the pressure of the bottom chamber 22. A whistle may be installed on the pressure release valve 27 to generate an alarm when the pressure release valve 27 is opened to lower the pressure.

The stand 1 is moved between a pair of suspension arms 10, 10 'formed on one side and sliding tracks 100, 100' formed on the suspension arms 10, 10 ', two protruding rods, That is, the pressure board 11 having the first protrusion rods 110 and the second protrusion rods 100 'having different lengths, and the first and second protrusion rods 110 and 100', respectively, One microswitch 12 and second microswitch 13 and a spring 15 stopped against the pressure board 11 to keep the pressure board 11 away from the microswitches 12, 13. ) When the pressure board 11 is forced to the left to compress the spring 15, the second protruding rod 110 ′ contacts the second microswitch 13 so that the heating device 3 Start heating. If the pressure board 11 continues to move to the left, the first protruding rod 110 contacts the first micro switch 12 to block the water inlet 23.

The heating device 3 includes a container 32 having a mounting frame 33 formed therein, and an upper cover 31 that is covered on the top of the container 32 and is firmly fixed to the mounting frame 33.

The electric heating members 34, 34 ′ are controlled by the second microswitch 13 and the water level control switch 26. When the second microswitch 13 is triggered, the electric heating members 34 and 34 'are immediately turned on to heat the water. When the water level control switch 26 is triggered, the electric heating members 34 and 34 'are immediately turned off. The adjustment lever 30 extends from the heating device 3, is inserted through the hole 101 formed in the suspension arm 10, and stops with respect to the pressure board 11.

The operating relationship of the present invention is described below with reference to FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C. If water is guided through the water inlet 23 into the upper chamber 21 and is not delivered to the heating device 3, the first microswitch 12 and the second microswitch 13 do not operate, and thus The electrical heating elements 34, 34 ′ are off (see also FIG. 2a). As water flows from the upper chamber 21 of the condenser 2 into the vessel 32 of the heater 3, the total weight of the heater 3 is relatively increased. Increasing the total weight of the heater 3 causes the heater 3 to tilt, and the adjustment lever 30 pushes the pressure board 11 to the left (see also part 2b). When the pressure board 11 is moved to the left, the second microswitch 13 is triggered by the second protruding rod 110 'to heat the electrical heating members 34 and 34', which are to the point of boiling water.
