A corrugated pipe mounted in a tubular shape inside the housing is connected to the hot water line 160 and receives heat from the working fluid heated by the heater to preheat the purified water flowing therein. The low water level sensor detects the water level of the working fluid (water) inside the preheating tank, and the controller (not shown) controls the preheating tank to be overheated by turning on / off the feed valve 161 using the water level information detected by the low water level sensor. It performs a function to prevent it. That is, when the low water level is detected from the low water level sensor, the controller may turn on the feed valve 161 to supply the working fluid (water) to the preheating tank to prevent overheating of the preheating tank. The solenoid valve 122 may be turned on to supply the working fluid into the preheating tank. As described above, the working fluid is used to transfer heat to the corrugated pipe and to prevent overheating of the preheating tank. In the present invention, purified water is used as the working fluid, and the working fluid (water) is used for the sole valve and the feed valve. When 161 is turned on may be introduced into the preheating tank. The overflow sensor is intended to prevent overflow of the working fluid (constant) of the preheating tank, and the level of the preheating tank can be adjusted by turning on / off the feed valve of the control unit according to a detection signal transmitted from the overflow sensor.

As described above, the sole valve 122 supplies a new working fluid (water) to prevent the preheating tank from being overheated by the evaporation of the working fluid (the purified water).

The non-return valve 121 serves to prevent the water in the corrugated pipe from flowing backward in the inlet direction.

The heating unit 130 includes a heating unit heater for heating hot water, a heater plate on which the heater is mounted and forming a flow path of hot water transferred from the preheating tank, a thermistor for controlling the temperature of the heating unit heater, and overheating of the heating unit heater.

The check valve 131 serves to prevent the purified water heated in the heating unit 130 from flowing back to the preheating tank.

The overheating damper 140 discharges the superheated steam generated in the heating unit 130 and the preheating tank 120 to the outside.

The warm water coke 150 may be a coke which is generally connected to a water purifier and may be used. The warm water coke 150 may be configured as a 2-way valve capable of reversing the flow path during continuous supply and quantitative extraction.

The purified water cock 180 is provided together with the purified water line 170 and the purified water valve 171 to perform a function of supplying purified water at room temperature transferred from the purified water.

Hereinafter, the operation method of the purified water heating device according to the present invention having the configuration as described above will be described.

In a state where the user does not operate the hot water coke 150, that is, in the standby mode, the purified water heating device 100 preheats a predetermined amount of purified water introduced into the corrugated pipe inside the preheating tank.

To this end, the sensors in the preheating tank (such as low water level sensor and overflow sensor) detect the level of the working fluid (constant) in the preheating tank, and the detected water level information is transmitted to the controller. The controller analyzes the water level information to turn on the feed valve 161 when it is determined that the water level is low so that the working fluid (purified water) flows into the preheating tank from the water purifier, and when the water level is high, by turning off the feed valve. Prevent working fluids from the water purifier from entering the preheating tank. In other words, the working fluid serves to maintain the preheating tank at an appropriate temperature.

Meanwhile, the preheating tank heats the working fluid using a heater, and the corrugated pipe receives heat from the working fluid and preheats the purified water flowing therein. At this time, the steam generated by the preheat is discharged to the outside through the overheating damper 140.

In the standby mode as described above, when the user who wants to drink the warm water on turns on the hot water coke 150, the feed valve 161 is turned on, whereby the purified water transferred from the water purifier is heated to the preheating tank 120. It is discharged to the outside through the warm water coke via the unit 130.

At this time, the purified water stored in a preheated state in the preheating tank 120 is first transferred to the heating unit 130 to be heated, and thus, the warm water may be discharged more quickly. Meanwhile, while the purified water stored in the preheating tank is transferred to the heating unit 130, the purified water newly introduced into the preheating tank is preheated while being accumulated in the preheating tank and then transferred to the heating unit.

Then, when the warm water coke 150 is turned off, the feed valve is also switched to the off state, the inflow of purified water from the water purifier 200 is blocked and the hot water discharge is stopped.

On the other hand, when the purified water coke 180 is additionally provided in the purified water heating device according to the present invention, the user may drink purified water at room temperature instead of the warm water by using the purified water coke.

As described above, the present invention preheats the purified water introduced from the water purifier to a predetermined temperature through a preheating tank, and then instantaneously heats the purified water through the heating unit, thereby allowing the user to drink warm water.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention should not be limited to the contents described in the detailed description of the specification but should be defined by the claims.
