Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In each of the drawings, the same reference numerals, in particular, the tens and ones digits, or the same digits, tens, ones, and alphabets refer to members having the same function, and unless otherwise specified, each reference in the drawings. The member referred to may be regarded as a member conforming to these criteria.

In describing the water purification system of the ion water purifier P according to the present invention, the direction reference is specified with reference to FIGS. 1B and 2.

Raw water is introduced through the raw water inlet WS and is filtered by the filter unit 10, and then discharged into the coke C1, C2, and C3 through each tank, and the raw water inlet WS is forward. And the cock side to the rear,

When viewed from the exterior of the housing (P1), the side where the coke is visible is determined as the front or front, and the surface provided with a switch (S5) for on / off the heating means (25A) of the hot water tank 25 is determined as the rear or rear.

First, the raw water introduced through the raw water inlet WS on the rear surface of the housing P1 of the ion water purifier P is filtered and purified while passing through the filter unit 10 via the anisotropic valve V2W1.

The filter unit 10 is a pretreatment sediment filter (sediment pre-filter 11) for removing other impurities, such as rust, soil, sand dust and various other impurities 1㎛ size,

Sun carbon filter 13, which can make water close to nature by adsorbing and removing odor with carbon filter using activated carbon adsorption method,

It consists of an integrated fiber filtration membrane, which opens more than 100 billion pores of 0.01 ~ 0.04 μm in size, so it can be used for ultra-precision performance to filter out harmful components and minerals into living water (or UF membrane or other reverse osmosis filters). Improved strain membrane filter (15),

Post carbon filter (17), which removes unpleasant tastes and odors remaining in water to maintain the taste of water and removes pigments, etc. to make odorless clean water (17),

Then, the carbon composite filter 19 includes activated carbon impregnated with silver ions for more perfect odor removal and microbial killing, or a mixture of carbon and UF filters (including silver ion impregnated activated carbon).

In addition, the filter unit may be composed of a reverse osmosis filter, an anisotropic valve (V2W3) between the sedimentation filter 11 and the sun carbon filter 13 in order to ensure the required water pressure in the reverse osmosis type filter unit 10 And boosting pump (M1) is provided,

In addition, the membrane filter 15 is provided with a flush valve (VF) for discharging the unfiltered water, to utilize the water discharged to the flush valve (VF) as living water or head water. To this end, a drain DS is provided on the rear surface of the ion water purification housing, and a check valve (not shown) is provided at the rear of the flush valve VF to prevent backflow.

The purified water discharged to the purified water cock (C3) arranged at the bottom of the front surface of the housing (P1) passes through the after carbon filter 17, and then stored in the purified water tank (29).

On the other hand, the water for electrolysis is to go directly to the storage tank 21 through the sediment filter 11, the anisotropic valve (V2W2), the fucarbon composite filter 19 only.

When passing through the membrane filter 15, the degree of filtration of the water is large, the conduction rate is lowered to prevent the occurrence of the problem of lowering the electrolytic rate,

In addition, since minerals are alive and more helpful in promoting health, sterilization can be ensured by electrolysis in the electrolytic cell 30 to some extent.

From the storage tank 21 for receiving and storing the water passed through the filter unit 10 is delivered to the cold water tank 23 and the hot water tank 25 relatively separated,

The storage tank and the cold water tank are adjacent to each other to contribute to the compact ion water purifier (P) configuration,

The hot water tank 25 is spaced apart from the storage tank 21 and the cold water tank 23 is disposed in consideration of the temperature transition blocking, the guarantee of the generated steam discharge structure, and other safety.

The cold water tank 23 is provided with a compressor 23A known as cooling means and an evaporator 23B arranged around the tank.

The hot water tank 25 is arranged a heat transfer heater 25A known as a heating means,

The water stored in the cold and hot tanks 23 and 25 flows into the electrolytic cell 30 through the anisotropic valves V2W4 and V2W5 and the boosting pump M2, respectively.

The electrolytic cell 30 is electrolyzed into alkaline water for drinking and acidic water for disinfection and washing, and there are flow type electrolysis in a flowing water state and a batch formula for inhibiting in a stationary state. As we introduced

Although schematically illustrated, the anode chamber 31A is arranged by the ion permeable diaphragm 32 arranged in the electrolytic cell, and the anode chamber 31A is arranged in the anode chamber 33A.

Each pole plate 31, 33 is connected to a power supply unit 30A capable of adjusting the electric field strength.

Alkaline water generated in the cathode chamber 31A in the electrolytic cell 30 at least 1.5 L / min of guaranteed flow rate is transferred to the coke C1 arranged on the front surface of the ion water purifier P housing. Become,

The acidic water produced in the anode chamber 33A is once stored in the acidic water tank 27 and is discharged and taken out through the cock C2 arranged in the middle of the housing.

As mentioned above, the biggest feature of the present invention is that the alkaline water generated in the electrolytic cell is not directly stored, but directly taken out, so that fresher alkaline water can be consumed at that time, and thus, most of the conventional tank storage ionizers are actually used. That's a big difference from consuming reduced water.

Three-way valve (V3W1) (V3W2) between the electrolytic cell 30 and the alkaline water and the acidic water coke (C1) (C2) to form a flow path for living water drain (DS) side or the coke side respectively by the control unit microcomputer Is arranged.

Looking at the exterior arrangement of the ion water purifier (P) housing (P1) of the present invention, the membrane filter 15, the acidic water tank 27, the purified water tank 29, the electrolytic cell 30 together with the raw water inlet (WS) in the lower rear Four drains (DS) for living water are respectively connected to the pipe through which alkaline or acidic water is passed.

Cold water, hot water, acidic water, and four drains DT for emptying each tank through water discharge during cleaning of the purified water tanks 23, 25, 27, 29 and transporting the ion water purifier are provided in the lower portion of the front surface of the housing P1. (The storage tank 21 is connected to the cold water tank 23, so no additional drain is required).

In addition, each of the coke C1, C2, C3 for alkaline water, acidic water, and purified water is arranged from the top to the bottom, and a drip tray C1b, C2b, and C2b, which are separated from the housing, are provided at the bottom of each coke.

On the other hand, in Figure 2, the difference between the height of the alkaline water and acidic water coke (C1) (C2), the electrolytic ion water remaining on the pipe for the two coke has a potential energy (coke arrangement structure consisting of three stages in particular tower type The potential energy becomes larger),

The potential energy is present in the pipe including the electrolytic cell 30 (the movement path of the electrolyzed water is closed from the outside for watertightness) and has a high compressive force.

Because it is easy to affect air

The load or potential energy of the electrolyzed water acts to increase (or shrink) the volume of the air.

The expanded air layer pulls the electrolyzed water to be discharged to the open coke,

Even if the coke, especially alkaline water coke (C1), is opened, ion water is not discharged within a set time, and there is a problem that the noise and vibration are generated (these problems may affect the whole water purification system). Will occur.

In the present invention, as can be seen in Figure 2 (particularly in an enlarged circle) to solve this,

Air drain 35 is inserted into an upright conduit 35A connecting alkaline water coke C1 in the electrolytic cell 30 so that the pipe is constantly connected to the outside air, thereby expanding (or contracting) the air layer. To prevent.

In addition, all or part of each of the tanks 21, 23, 25, 27, 29 is provided with a water level sensor to prevent water overflow,

Representatively referring to the storage tank 21 shown in Figure 2,

In addition to the main water level sensor WL1 such as a known infrared or float sensor, an auxiliary sensor connected to the microcomputer 41 to prevent a water overflow due to a failure error of the main water level sensor ( WL2),

In particular, the inner wall of the tank 21 is provided with an auxiliary sensor WL2 consisting of two terminals which are arranged higher than the maximum water level set by the main sensor WL1 and through which a microcurrent can be conducted.

If the water rises higher than the main sensor due to the failure of the main sensor, current flows as the water contacts the two terminals.

If the current flow exceeds a certain period of time (e.g. 3 seconds) (to eliminate the current conduction situation of the auxiliary sensor due to the shaking of the ion water purifier (P) due to impact)

The microcomputer 41 detects this and causes the water source valve (V2W1) or the rear carbon composite filter (19) front valve (V2W2) and other valves (V2W3) and the pump (M1) (M2) to stop operation or other appropriate operation. To issue commands

In each tank, water overflow that may be generated by inflow of water beyond the maximum level by the main sensor may be more completely prevented.

In addition, as shown in Figures 1a and 1b, the upper portion of the front of the housing (P1), the cold selection dial (S1) for selecting whether the ionized water discharged to the alkaline water cock (C1) is cold water or hot water,

Two control buttons (S2a) (S2b) for changing the electric field strength supplied from the power supply unit 30A of the electrolytic cell 30 to the electrodes 31, 33 to adjust the height of the pH of the ionized water,

When the water discharged to the cock (C1) is hot water, the safety button (S3) to pressurize the lever (C1a) only to be discharged hot water,

And the control panel 43 is provided with a continuous intake button (S4) to enable continuous drainage regardless of whether the lever (C1a) is pressed,

Control switch (S) together with the rear heating means (25A) on / off button (S5).

In the center of the control panel 43, there is provided a display 43A which displays the operation state of each switch S of the ion water purifier or displays whether there is an error or the like.

In addition, a mood lamp 45 that emits cobalt light is provided around the cold / temperature selection dial S1.

When the proximity sensor 45a detects a user's approach, the signal is turned on by receiving the signal through the microcomputer 41,

In addition, for the power saving function, only turn on the lamp for a period of time suitable for the user to take water (for example, 30 seconds).

After the lamp 45 was turned off according to the time elapsed, the sensor 45a detection function was used again after a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds).

In addition to the heating means (25A) on / off switch (S5) on the rear of the housing,

Press both of the pH control buttons (S2a, S2b) at the same time (for example, 5 seconds) and the microcomputer 41 detects this so that the compressor 23A is turned off and then pressed again for a predetermined time.

With the switch (S5) to ensure that only cold water is drained or only hot water is drained to ensure the convenience and power saving function,

In addition, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of the load caused by the on / off of the entire system for repair in the case of failure of the heating means (25A) or cooling means (23A) and to enable the repair of the parts.

Hereinafter, the operation and effects of the ion water purifier P according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1A to 3.

First, the water introduced through the raw water inlet (WS) is filtered through each filter unit 10 and stored in the purified water tank 29, and is discharged by pressing the lower cock (C3) lever (C3a) to open. Drinking is possible.

In addition, the water stored in the fucarbon composite filter 19, the storage tank 21, and the cold water tank 23 or the hot water tank 25 is boosted by the pump M2 and passed through the electrolytic cell 30 while alkali water is supplied. And are supplied with acidic water,

The pH intensity is transmitted to the power supply unit 30A via the microcomputer 41 according to the operation of the pH control buttons S2a and S2b provided in the upper control panel 43 of the housing P1, and then each electrode ( 31) to change the pH value of the electrolyzed water by varying the electric field strength applied to (33),

The cathode chamber 31A and the anode chamber 33A of the electrolytic cell 30, or the connected conduit are provided with a known pH sensor (not shown),

When the electric field strength of the power supply unit is adjusted according to the adjustment of the buttons S2a and S2b, the pH value of the electrolyzer is detected to monitor the error by comparing with the reference pH value input to the microcomputer,

In the case of designating the electric field strength change amount so that the set pH value is obtained by adjusting the buttons S2a and S2b so that the pH value is inputted regardless of the water source, the sensor senses the pH value. The intensity can be varied so that accurate pH values are obtained.

When the lever C2a of the acidic water coke C2 in the middle of the front surface of the housing is pressed, the acidic water stored in the acidic water tank 27 is drained and used for cleaning or sterilization.

Since the main use of the ion water group, including the ion water purifier according to the present invention is in the alkaline water supply, the ion water purifier (P) of the present invention is also controlled mainly with alkaline water,

For example, if the cold and hot selection dial S1 arranged on the control panel 43 is set to the hot water side,

As the alkaline water coke C1 is opened, the alkaline water delivered while passing through the electrolytic cell 30 is discharged, but the warm acidic water is not transferred to the acidic water tank 27 and is controlled by the command of the microcomputer 41. Drained to the living drain (DS) according to the flow path of the three-way valve (V3W2),

When the dial S1 is set to the cold water side, the acidic water generated by the operation of the electrolytic cell 30 in accordance with the opening of the alkaline water coke C1 is released as the three-way valve V3W2 opens the flow path toward the tank 27. Can be stored.

If a cold or on signal is applied according to the telephone of the dial S1

The two-way valve (V2W4) provided between the cold water tank 23 and the electrolytic cell 30 is opened or

The two-way valve (V2W5) arranged in the hot water tank 25 and the electrolytic cell 30 is opened, cold water or hot water may be withdrawn,

In this way, the alkaline water intake is selected by cold and hot according to the dial (S1) switching, the basicity is adjusted according to the pH control buttons (S2a, S2b) adjustment,

When the hot water intake is selected by the dial operation, the three-way valve V3W1 must be opened by pressing the safety button S3 (a safety valve structure and a method known in the field of other water purifiers or ionizers can be introduced), and hot water intake can be obtained. This can prevent burns due to inadvertent use.

When the pressure of the lever C1a is sensed to open the alkaline water coke C1, the microcomputer 41

During the first predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds), the three-way valve (V3W1) opens the flow path toward the drain for the living water (DS), and remains in the electrolytic cell to discard the reduced water.

After the reference time has elapsed, the three-way valve opens to the side of the cock C1, so that fresh alkaline water can be withdrawn.

At this time, if the continuous intake button S4 of the housing external control panel 43 is pressed, continuous intake can be performed regardless of the pressurization of the lever C1a, and the continuous intake time and flow rate will be determined according to the capacity of the electrolyzer. It is preferable that the continuous intake of about 2 minutes is possible, and after the end of the continuous intake, it can be guided to the display 43A or sound (voice capable).

When the alkaline water intake end signal is applied according to the release of the lever C1a, the cleaning of the electrode plate is performed after a predetermined reference time (for example, 10 seconds).

To this end, first, according to the polarity inversion mode signal of the microcomputer, the power supply unit 30A inverts the polarity (set to refute as many times as necessary) to remove the scale attached to the pole plates 31 and 33, and

Subsequently, the water inside the electrolyzer is discharged to the drain DS according to the flow path selection of each of the three-way valves V3W1 and V3W2 according to the micom electrolyzer empty mode signal (the polarity switching mode and the electrolyzer empty mode can be repeated several times),

Next, at the same time as the empty mode of the microcomputer or after the emptying mode (with time difference as necessary), the neutral mode signal is issued to terminate the polarity reversal mode, and the power supply unit 30A is operated for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds). off to neutralize the electrolytic cell,

Consideration has been given to ensuring the prolongation of electrolytic cell use through cleaning and neutralization of the electrodes (the progress of these three modes can be performed for 10 to 60 seconds).
