In general, ultrasonic cleaning is mainly performed by ultrasonic atomization or water particle acceleration and cavitation phenomenon, which is generated by microscopic pressure and extinguished by ultrasonic pressure when energy of ultrasonic wave propagates in solution. The phenomenon is accompanied by very large pressures and high temperatures. This shock wave makes it possible to clean in a short time to the place where it is invisible deep inside the to-be-cleaned object contained in the solution. In practice, it produces synergy with the impact energy by cavitation, such as the stirring effect due to the radial pressure of the ultrasonic wave itself, and the thermal action. By using this principle, various types of ultrasonic cleaners are used.

The adapter 110 is connected to the raw water supply pipe to open and close the inflow of raw water, and blocks the raw water when not in use for a long time.

The filter member 120 is in communication with the adapter 110 to filter impurities, microorganisms, bacteria, etc. contained in the raw water introduced through the adapter 110 to purify and antibacterial. Here, although only one filter is shown in the present embodiment, a plurality of filters, that is, activated carbon filters, hollow fiber membrane filters, reverse osmosis membrane filters, and the like may be installed in combination, if necessary. .

As a plurality of valves, a feed valve 112 or a pressure reducing valve 114 is applied, and is installed on a passage through which water passing through the filter member 120 flows, and the feed valve 112 is electrically controlled. Through the control of the inflow and outflow of the raw water, the pressure reducing valve 114 is constantly adjusting the water pressure and flow rate of the inflow of the filter member 120 or the valves 112, 114 and other components due to the high pressure of the inflow To prevent damage. Here, those skilled in the art of the present invention can be carried out by changing the installation order, such as the installation position of the plurality of valves (112, 114) between the adapter 110 and the inlet 200 to be described later. There will be.

The flow rate sensor 122 measures the flow rate that is installed at the rear end of the filter member 120 to cut off the power supply when the water flows through the stage / low flow rate, thereby protecting the vibration output unit 220 to be described later, and detecting the accumulated flow rate. The replacement timing of the filter member 120 is determined. That is, by measuring the amount of water passing through the filter member 120 to determine the replacement time of the filter member 120, by measuring the cumulative amount of water passing through the filter member 120, the water of the filter member 120 is purified It is determined that the performance is lowered and replaced with a new filter element.

The transformer 130 is a transformer, and serves to increase or decrease the voltage of an applied AC by using electromagnetic induction.

The microcomputer 160 is electrically connected to the transformer 130, the oscillator 140, which will be described later, the main display 170, and the sub display 212, thereby comprehensively controlling the operation of the ultrasonic cleaner or the cleaning operation mode. .

The oscillator 140 is electrically connected to the vibrator 222 of the vibration extractor 220 to be described later to supply electrical energy of ultrasonic waves to the vibration extractor 220.

The main display 170 shows the washing operation mode of the ultrasonic cleaner, that is, the vegetable washing mode, the fruit washing mode, the dish washing mode, the running mode, and the like.

Next, the receiving unit 200 is composed of the receiving unit 210 and the vibration extraction unit 220 to add ultrasonic energy to the water supplied from the main body 100 to discharge to the outside, the receiving unit 200 is Compared to the main body part 100, it is relatively small in size, and is easily designed to be installed on the sink top plate.
