FIG. 4 illustrates a state in which the container of the cold / hot water heater according to the embodiment is perforated by the perforating means. 1 to 3, a cold / hot water heater 10 according to an embodiment includes a container 100, a cold water tank 200, a perforation unit 300, and a container moving unit 400 have.

The vessel 100 can receive purified water.

For example, the container 100 can be installed as a BIBBOX, i.e., a bag-in-box, in which a liquid product such as water, juice, wine, It is a packing method in which one is packed in a clean bag, and then put back into the box. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0005] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0005] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [

By storing the purified water in the container 100, the purified water can be maintained in a clean state for a predetermined period of time.

The container 100 can be provided with an opening 110 through which purified water can be discharged or introduced. The opening can be formed by a membrane provided by a material that can be punched by a perforating means 300 As shown in Fig.

A cold water tank 200 can be disposed below the vessel 100.

The cold water tank 200 can store or discharge the cooled water after the purified water supplied from the container 100 is cooled by a cooling device (not shown).

1, the cold water tank 200 is shown as having the form of a tank having a predetermined capacity, but it is not limited thereto.

The puncturing means 300 can be disposed between the container 100 and the cold water tank 200 so that purified water in the container 100 can flow into the cold water tank 200.

The perforation means 300 may be installed at the lower portion of the container 100, for example, below the perforation position of the container 100.

The puncturing position of the container 100 means the position where the puncturing means 300 is punctured at the entrance of the container 100. For example, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > a < / RTI >

3, the perforation means 300 includes a main body 310 installed to be extended in the longitudinal direction, a needle 320 located at the upper end of the main body 310 and installed to penetrate the container 100, As shown in FIG.

At one side of the needle 320 there is formed an inlet 330 of purified water and is connected to the bottom of the container 320 through the inlet 330 when the container 100 is punctured by the needle 320, Can be introduced.

Furthermore, since the perforating means 300 is installed so as to communicate with the cold water tank 200, the purified water introduced into the inlet 330 can be transferred to the cold water tank 200.

Since the container 100 is pierced by the thus formed perforation means 300, purified water in the container 100 can be introduced into the cold water tank 200, and the perforation means 300 is installed so as to be fixed , The container 100 can be surely drilled.

On the outer side of the perforation means 300, the container moving means 400 can be disposed.

The container moving means 400 fulfills the role of moving the container 100 containing the purified water up and down toward the perforating means 300.

2, container moving means 400 may include a first support element 410, a lever 420, and a second support element 430.

The first support element 410 may be disposed under the container 100 to support the container 100.

In addition, the container 100 can be mounted by the holding element 412 by providing the holding element 412 on the top of the first supporting element 410.

3, when the protruding portion is formed to be smaller than the diameter of the inlet, the holding element 412 is formed in such a manner that the container 100 is protruded And the protruding portion of the container 100 can be inserted and fixed in the holding element 412. [

A lever 420 for moving the first support element 410 may be mounted on one side of the first support element 410.

The lever 420 can be formed from a cylindrical main body 422 and a spherical shaped handle 424 so that the lever 420 can be manually moved by the handle 424.

At this time, the movement of the lever 420 causes the movement of the first support element 410, and the direction of movement of the first support element 410 is determined by the direction of movement of the lever 420.

As a result, when the container 100 is mounted on the first supporting element 410, the movement of the lever 420 causes the movement of the first supporting element 410, , And can cause movement.

A second support element 430 may be provided on the outer side of the first support element 410.

The second support element 430 may be provided with a groove 432 for guiding the movement path of the lever 420. [

The trench 432 may be formed to be inclined along the circumference of the second support element 430.

However, the shape of the ditch 432 is not limited to this, and any shape can be used as long as the shape of the container 100 allows the container 100 to be moved up and down.

For example, the ditches 432 may be formed perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the second support element 430. At this time, the length of the ditch 432 may be shorter than the length of the ditch 432 shown in Fig.

The shape of the ditch 432 of the second supporting element 430 such as the length or inclination of the ditch 432 is determined by the length of the container 100 mounted on the perforation means 300 and the first supporting element 410 The distance between the first and second electrodes. This is because the role of the ditch 432 of the second support element 430 ultimately lies in regulating the height of the container 100.

As the lever 420 moves along the ditch 432 of the second support element 430 the first support element 410 on which the lever 420 is mounted is also moved accordingly, 410 are also moved together.

For example, since the ditch 432 is formed to be inclined along the circumference of the second support element 430, when the lever 420 moves along the ditch 432, the first support element 410, The height or height of the container 100 mounted on the first support element 410 may decrease or increase as the rotation is performed.

Specifically, referring to Fig. 4, the container 100 can be perforated by the perforating means 300 as follows.

The container 100 can be punctured by the needle 320 of the perforating means 300 when the lever 420 is positioned at a lower position of the ditch 432 of the second supporting element 430. [

That is, the lever 420 moves along the ditch 432 of the second support element 430 from the upper position to the lower position, and the height of the first support element 410 on which the lever 420 is mounted is also low So that the height of the container 100 mounted on the first support element 410 can be reduced.

As a result, the inlet of the container 100 or the container 100 is brought into contact with the needle 320 of the fixed perforation means 300, and the perforation of the container 100 thus described is carried out in the container 100 It can be promoted by the gravity of the water that is contained.

Contrary to this, when the lever 420 is positioned at the upper position of the ditch 432 of the second supporting element 430, the container 100 moves away from the needle 320 of the perforating means 300, can do.

That is, the lever 420 is moved along the ditch 432 of the second support element 430 from the lower position to the upper position, and the height of the first support element 410 on which the lever 420 is mounted The height of the container 100 mounted on the first support element 410 can be increased.

Thereby, the distance between the perforation means 300 and the container 100 can be separated.

For example, when all the purified water in the container 100 is used, the lever 420 is moved from the needle 320 of the perforation means 300 to the upper position The container 100 can be separated.

The container moving means 400 formed in this way makes it possible to mount or separate the container 100 relatively easily to the cold / hot water heater 10 in accordance with the convenience of the user and to precisely and easily carry out the piercing of the container 100 can do.

For this reason, the cold / hot water heater according to the embodiment can relatively accurately puncture the piercing position of the container, and can reduce the mistakes that may occur when piercing the container. Moreover, by employing the lever type for the container moving means, it is possible to easily replace or mount the container, and the close contact between the container and the perforating means is maintained, thereby preventing infiltration of bacteria and foreign matter.
