Description

water purifier

The present invention relates to a water purifier, and more particularly, to a water purifier that can supply clean water containing a natural mineral component beneficial to the human body by supplying far infrared rays generated from a ceramic component to clean water filtered through a filter in a natural filtration water purifier, And a water purifier for detecting a water level of the water, and separately providing a filtering filter and a magnet to facilitate replacement of the filtering filter when the filter is damaged.

Today, living in a highly advanced cultural society, we have a keen interest in environmental issues and human health issues. That is, as the industry developed, the natural environment gradually became polluted and the water quality gradually deteriorated. As a result, it has become inadequate to drink natural water as it is, and various water purifiers have been developed to obtain clean water. In addition, as much attention has been paid to the health problem of the human body, the energy which is beneficial to the human body among various kinds of energy existing in the living is discovered and utilized. As one of these energies, far infrared rays are being used to promote health of the general public in various fields such as the medical field, the therapeutic part of the human body, and the sauna system.

Infrared is an electromagnetic wave that is a kind of energy wave. It has a wavelength ranging from 0.76 to 1,000 microns. Depending on the wavelength, 0.76 to 1.5 microns is called near infrared, 1.5 to 5.6 microns is called middle infrared, and 5.6 to 1,000 microns It is called far infrared ray. Among them, far-infrared rays of 5.6 ~ 14 microns are known to be most beneficial to our lives. Far-infrared radiation ceramics refers to a material that is prepared by mixing 10 kinds of fine powders based on alumina, silica, titanium, zircon, etc. and calcining them at a high temperature of 1,600 to 1,800 ° C. These far infrared ceramics generally have efficacy for maintaining the line, property effect, deodorization, plant growth promotion, metabolism promotion, humidity maintenance, blood circulation promotion.

These far infrared rays are transmitted by radiation, and when they are absorbed and absorbed deeply into a human body or material, they are resonated and activated by the inherent wavelength of the material. In other words, it is absorbed not only on the surface of our body or material but also deep inside, activating cell tissue, promoting metabolism, and being used for various diseases and health promotion. An example of how far infrared rays have been used since ancient times as a living example is the secret of the fresh taste of Kimchi, which puts the jar in the ground throughout the winter, and the pot that adds flavor to the far infrared ray.

By using far infrared rays, the product is tested for the performance of far infrared rays product by measuring the emissivity, and the product with superior performance is a ceramic using biomix. Therefore, it is necessary to provide such pottery to the human body through far infrared ray and natural beverage, which are dissolved in ceramics, by installing the pottery in the water passage as well as the reservoir of the water purifier.

On the other hand, the water purifier described above is roughly divided into a natural filtration type filtration method which is filtered by natural gravity and a pressurized filtration type which is forcedly filtered by a pressure difference.

Here, the pressurized filtration method is advantageous in that a large amount of water can be quickly filtered because the filtration rate is high. However, since the load applied to the filter portion is high, the filter has a short life span and is used for a large-capacity purification purpose. On the other hand, the natural filtration type filtration method is a filtration method by natural gravity at a low speed, and the load acting on the filter portion is small, so that the life of the filter portion is long, but it is used for a small amount of purification purpose.

FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing a conventional natural filtration type water purifier.

Referring to FIG. 4, the filtration filter unit 20 used in the conventional water purifier has a structure in which a plurality of layers are sequentially stacked to adsorb and remove harmful components mixed in the water when passing through the filtration filter unit, It contains rich dissolved oxygen. However, the above-described filtration filter unit 20 has a structure in which the filtration filter unit 20 is integrally laminated, and thus the filter unit must be replaced when the filtration filter unit 20 is damaged. In addition, there is a problem in that a smooth filtration water becomes difficult due to mutual interference between the layers in the filtration filter unit 20 during filtration. Although not shown in the drawing, a sensor for detecting the water level in the storage tank is installed when the water in the storage tank flows out to the outside by a predetermined amount, and since the power supply is required to operate the sensor, .

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a water purifier for supplying useful water to a human body by using far-infrared rays in a water purifier.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a water purifier which is provided with separate layers of filtration filter units for filtering water supplied to a water purifier and is easy to replace when the filter is damaged, .

The upper reservoir 2 may be made of glass or plastic so that the amount of water contained therein can be seen from the outside, but it is not limited thereto.

That is, the upper storage tank and the lower storage tank may be made of ceramic ceramics to use the far-infrared ray generated from the ceramic component. In a typical experiment, water of the same quality is separated into plastic cups, glass cups, stainless steel cups, porcelain cups, etc., and stored for 10 minutes. Among these, it can be seen that it is a porcelain cup which is felt the best in the taste of the water, because of the far-infrared energy contained in the porcelain cup.

The porcelain is made of porcelain soil, that is, kaolin is mixed with 30% magnesium oxide and 20% calcium oxide, and then it is baked at 1300 ° C, then glazed and then roasted. In addition, in order to increase the emissivity of the far infrared rays radiated from the ceramic ceramics, it is possible to increase the emissivity to 96% or more by adding components such as limestone, A.K., jadeite, and earth stone.

Table 1 shows the results of the analysis of the original radiation flux from the Korean Institute of Construction Materials (KICM).

The outer side of the lower reservoir 8 is curved to have a decorative effect because the outer side is gorgeous. The shape of the lower reservoir 8 can be variously modified. A lower portion of the upper reservoir is provided with an outflow passage 4 vertically downward. On the inner bottom surface of the upper reservoir 2, a hemispherical ceramic filter 3 made of a ceramic material is provided. By making the shape of the ceramic filter 3 provided in the upper upper storage tank 2 semispherical, it is possible to increase a contact area with water in the upper storage tank, thereby filtering a large amount of water.

A lower reservoir 8 is provided at a lower portion of the upper upper reservoir 2 with a support 7 interposed therebetween. The support body is made of an ABS resin having excellent internal visibility to support the upper storage vessel 2 and the lower storage vessel 8 for coupling.

Therefore, the stored water that has passed through the upper outflow passage 4 flows to the lower filtration body 10 and is secondarily filtered. Further, the shape of the filtration body 10 becomes a cylindrical shape with an upward light- So that the filtration effect can be improved.

A water level regulating member 5 is installed below the outflow passage 4 protruding into the space h provided between the upper reservoir 2 and the filtration body 10. FIG. 2 shows a level adjusting member which is a main component of the construction of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the water level control member 5 includes a hinge assembly 5a detachably installed at the distal end of the outflow passage 4, and a hinge assembly 5b connected to the hinge assembly 5a and the connection rod 5b. And a buoyant body 5c connected to the water surface in the space h. The buoyant body (5c) is made of PC blow material which can float on the water surface with a light buoyant force. An outflow hole 5d is formed in the hinge assembly 5a so as to communicate with the outflow passage 4 of the upper reservoir 2. An uneven portion 5e is provided on the upper surface of the connection rod 5b, On the concave-convex portion 5e, an elastic rubber body 5f is provided as a binding material. The elastic rubber body 5f provided on the upper surface of the connecting rod 5b is inserted into the inner outlet hole 5d of the hinge assembly 5a as the hinge assembly 5a is rotated at an appropriate angle by the hinge pin 5g So that the water flowing from the upper reservoir 2 to the lower reservoir 8 can be supplied and shut off. In addition, the level adjusting member 5 is not limited to the present embodiment, but may be modified into a simpler structure.

The bioceramic filter 11 is installed on the outer periphery of the filter body 10 in a state where the filter body 10 is spaced apart from the filter body 10 by a predetermined distance. And is supported and fixed in the lower reservoir 8. The upper end of the bioceramics filter 11 is fixed to the filter case 9 fixed to the upper flange surface of the lower reservoir and is supported and fixed in the lower reservoir 8. The bioceramics filter 11 has an opening in a direction in which water flows. The bottom end of the bioceramics filter 11 is formed with a hooking end 11c bent inward toward the filtration body 10 side. The purified water filtered through the filtration body 10 is filtered again through the bioceramics filter 11. At this time, the lower end of the bioceramics filter 11 can be folded and formed with the engaging step 11c so as to horizontally extend inward, thereby increasing the water purification effect of water.

The above-mentioned bioceramics is a far-infrared radiation ion ceramic, and its main component is manufactured by calcining heat treatment at 1,300 ° C for 16 hours using silica, alumina, iron oxide, titanium, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, potassium oxide, sodium oxide as main components. The bioceramics emit up to 96% of the thermal energy of the far infrared rays in the wavelength range of 6 to 15 microns to activate the bromochemical activity and prevent the propagation of various bacteria by soft and ionized water, thereby preventing the deterioration of water during long-term storage.

An outlet member 15 of a faucet type is provided at one side of the lower reservoir 8 for discharging a predetermined amount of filtered and purified water through the upper and lower reservoirs 2 and 8 while the lower reservoir 8 Is provided with a permanent magnet as a magnet member 12 for magnetizing purified water stored in the lower reservoir 8.

The operation and effect of the present invention will be described below.

First, the handle 1a of the lid member 1 of the upper storage tank 2 is held and separated from the upper storage tank 2 to supply water to the upper storage tank 2 from the outside. The water supplied from the outside into the upper reservoir 2 flows from the firstly filtered opponent by the hemispherical ceramic filter 3 provided on the bottom surface of the upper reservoir 2 through the lower outflow passage 4 8).

The water primarily filtered and filtered by the hemispherical ceramic filter (3) is secondly filtered through a filter (10) having a pair of alternating layers of an activated carbon filter and a mineral filter, and the fine particulate Impurities are removed. As described above, the water that is secondarily filtered by the filter element 10 in which the mineral filter and the activated carbon filter are laminated is thirdly filtered by the cylindrical bioceramics filter 11 surrounding the filter element 10 .

Therefore, ultrapure water (pH 5.5 or less) that has passed through tap water or R / O reverse osmosis filter passes through the filtration member to generate minerals, thereby increasing the PH to 7.5 or more and converting it into a weakly alkylated mineral water .

The water filtered through the filtration process is stored in the lower reservoir 8. The purified water stored in the lower reservoir 8 is supplied to the magnet member 12 provided on the bottom surface of the lower reservoir 8, that is, two pairs of circular magnets having a magnetic force of several thousand Gauss, And the water molecule movement is activated so that the water in the lower reservoir 8 on the upper side is not accumulated due to the strength of the magnetic field being stirred here. In addition, a magnetic substance floats in the water to convert the water molecule structure from pentagonal structure to hexagonal structure, which makes it useful for the human body.

3 (a) and 3 (b) are schematic views showing an operation state of the level adjusting member which is a main component in the constitution of the present invention.

3, purified water collected in the lower storage tank 8 flows out to the outside through an outflow member 15 installed on one side of the lower storage tank 8 and is discharged to a predetermined amount outside in the lower storage tank 8 The outflowed water is supplied to the lower reservoir 8 in accordance with the opening and closing of the level control member 5 provided on the outflow passage 4 of the upper reservoir 2.

That is, in the high tide state of the lower reservoir 8, the buoyant body 5c maintains the horizontal state by the connecting rod 5b. However, as the water flows out to the outside through the outflow member 15, When the buoyant body 5c is pivoted downward to open the outflow hole formed in the hinge assembly 5a, the outflow passage 4 is opened so as to be discharged from the upper reservoir 2 to the lower reservoir 8). The buoyant body 5c is rotated in the counterclockwise direction again by a certain amount of water flowing into the lower reservoir 8 from the upper reservoir 2 and the elastic rubber provided on the upper surface of the hinge assembly 5a, (5d) to close the outlet passage (4).

According to the water purifier of the present invention as described above, water useful for the human body can be supplied by supplying the far infrared rays to the beverage. In addition, since the filtration members for filtering the water flowing into the upper storage tank are separately provided, the filtration members can be easily replaced when they are damaged, and the water level control member is driven by the non- There is an effect that it is not received.
