The present invention relates to an ionized water generating device capable of selectively using room temperature ionized water or cold ionized water as needed, and more particularly, in an ionizer equipped with a cooling reservoir, the extraction water is extracted using an adiabatic temperature deviation inside the cooling reservoir. The present invention relates to an ionized water generating device using a temperature difference of a storage tank having a different temperature, that is, having both room temperature ionized water and cold ionized water simultaneously generated.

The ionizer is, as is well known, inside the case of the electrolytic cell, the anode and the cathode are mounted at the boundary between the ion exchange membrane between the poles, and the anode and cathode are energized so that the acid-rich acidic minerals such as Ca, Mg, Na, and K are at the anode. The negative electrode is an ionized water generating device equipped with an electrolysis device configured to extract alkaline water rich in ions such as Cl, S, and P.

As a method for ionizing general tap water or ground water and extracting it into ionized water, first, purified water is passed through a multi-stage water purification filter. The purified water is used to prepare room temperature or cold ion water.

The recent consumer pattern shows a strong tendency to prefer multiple functions even in products with the same function, and ionizers are no exception. For example, consumers who use room temperature water heaters feel the need for cold water heaters because of the living environment they are accustomed to, and consumers who use cold water heaters need room temperature water heaters according to the needs of the elderly and children. Ha ha ha.

As such, we are aware of the necessity of an ionizer which satisfies both the functions of room temperature and cold ionizers, but in order to have multiple functions, it is difficult to be developed and released as a finished product due to limitations in the configuration and size of the equipment. .

Generally, cold water tank and water tank can be separately configured and equipped to extract both normal water and cold water from water purifier including water ionizer. It is true that it is not suitable.

Conventionally, since the room temperature ionized water generating device extracts purified water through the electrolytic cell 9, which is mostly composed of a multi-stage water purification filter 3, there is a drawback that cold ionized water cannot be extracted by extracting only room temperature ionized water.

On the other hand, in the case of the cold ionized water generator, the purified water passed through the purified water filter 3 composed of multiple stages is stored in the cooling water storage tank 5 as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B and then ionized and extracted through the electrolytic cell 9, or After passing through 9), due to the constitutive limitation of storing and extracting the ionized water in the cooling water tank (5), only cold ionized water can be extracted, and thus, ionized water cannot be extracted at the same time.

In particular, all of them are capable of producing cold ionized water, but there is a structural limitation of cold ionized water. Reference numeral 101 that is not described is a water tap (ion water tap), which is connected to the cooling reservoir (5) or the electrolytic cell (9) by the pipe 20, the ionized water is discharged.

That is, the object of the present invention, unlike the conventional cold ionized water of the cold ionized water extraction function, it is possible to extract the room temperature and cold ion water at the same time by using the temperature difference between the upper and lower portions of the heat insulating separator plate inside the cooling reservoir. It is to provide an ionized water generating device using the temperature difference of the configured reservoir.

In order to achieve the above object, the ionized water generating device using the temperature difference of the water storage tank of the present invention includes a purified water filter for greatly purifying tap water, a cooling water tank for cooling the purified water, an electrolytic cell for ionizing the cooled purified water, and mutually organically A solenoid valve controlled by a user's request and a selection, a pressurized pump, and a compressor, an evaporator, a dryer, and the like, which are conventional refrigeration cycles connected to an evaporator and an evaporator for cooling the cooling reservoir, are connected. There is a faucet connected through the corresponding piping.

That is, the room temperature water purified through the water filter is basically introduced into the cooling reservoir, and the upper temperature of the cooling reservoir is located at the upper portion of the cooling reservoir, and the separation plate is placed at the lower portion of the cooling reservoir in which the evaporator is wound outside. The room temperature water flowing through is cooled by the adiabatic temperature deviation and becomes cold water. The room temperature water and cold water of the cooling reservoir are ionized by being introduced into the electrolytic cell through the corresponding solenoid valve and the pressurized pump, respectively, and the room temperature ionized water and cold water through the corresponding tap. It is configured to be separated and extracted as hot water.

In addition, the room temperature water purified by the water filter flows into the auxiliary reservoir assembled on the upper side of the cooling reservoir, where the room temperature water is positioned at the upper boundary of the bottom of the auxiliary reservoir of the separator plate, and the cooling reservoir is a lower portion in which the evaporator is wound outside. Inlet room temperature water is cooled by adiabatic temperature deviation, and becomes cold water. The room temperature water and cold water of the cooling reservoir are ionized by being introduced into the electrolytic cell through the solenoid valve and the pressurized pump, respectively, and the room temperature ion water and cold ionized water through the corresponding tap. It can be configured to be separated and extracted as.

In addition, a cooling water extraction faucet is included in the lower portion of the cooling water storage tank so that the cooling water can be extracted through the corresponding pipe as cooling water without changing into ionized water through the electrolytic cell, and room temperature ionized water and cold ionized water alone in one water supply faucet. Or are separated from one or more of the plurality of taps and configured to extract purified water and ionized water.
