Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an alkaline ionic water purifying apparatus,

The present invention relates to a cold-water alkaline ionizer, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a method for cleaning an alkaline ionized water, which are capable of selectively inducing the flow of cleansing water through various routes including acidic water and alkaline water produced by an electrolytic bath, The system is designed to maximize the number of coke, and it is possible to make various selections according to user's preference and to provide convenient maintenance for users. The separate supply of acidic water and alkaline water and the discharge of electrolytic water washing water To an induced cold and alkaline ionized water supply.

In general, alkaline water refers to water treated to have a high pH and a low oxidation potential (ORP). Alkaline water exhibiting a high pH can return the acidified body fluids to alkaline and smooth blood circulation. It is reported that the low oxidation-reduction potential of water can remove active oxygen, which is known to be the main cause of aging.

On the other hand, the raw water supplied from the water pipe through the raw milk inflow is purified in the process of passing through the filter unit comprising the precipitation filter, the line carbon filter, the membrane filter and the after-carbon filter. The purified water thus purified may be separately stored in a cold water tank having a cooling means and a hot water tank having a heating means, respectively, from a room-temperature reservoir having a water level control device, so that a cold water discharge pipe and a hot water discharge pipe So as to provide a cold constant or a hot constant.

In the alkaline water production method using an electrolytic cell, an anode chamber and a cathode chamber separated by a diaphragm are provided in the electrolytic cell and a DC voltage is applied to the cathode and anode plates Thereby generating acidic water and alkaline water in the anode chamber and the cathode chamber, respectively.

However, since the acidic water and the alkaline water are generated simultaneously, the electrolytic method requires an acidic water to be separately treated when it is desired to use only alkaline water. Therefore, it is an inefficient aspect of consuming more than 50% And the like.

In particular, in the case of conventional ionizers, it is common for users to take alkaline water directly by drinking in a cup or the like, or to store it in a container such as a refrigerator in a refrigerator. The acidic water is stored in an appropriate container and then used as sterilization water or lotion However, since the conventional ionizer is not structured to store the acidic water discharged together with the alkaline water separately, most of the acidic water is discarded without any use, and when the acidic water is needed, it is required to newly produce the acidic water. .

Nevertheless, the conventional alkali filter ion water purifier has an advantage in that an alkali filter is disposed between the filter unit and the hot water tank and the cold water tank to select alkaline hot water and alkaline cold water. However, since it is impossible to select a common cold water constant and alkaline water, It is not possible to drink the purified water, and always requires the drinking of only the alkali cold water. In addition, in the conventional alkali filter ion water purifier, calcium is accumulated in the cold water tank and the hot water tank while the alkaline water is stored in the cold water tank and the hot water tank for a long period of time.

Further, the first drain valve 61 is formed on the fourth pipe 62-1 adjacent to the third pipe, the second drain valve 62 is formed on the fourth pipe adjacent to the second pipe, 3 drain valve 63 should be formed on the sixth pipe 63-1 connecting the fourth pipe and the third pipe to each other.

The water supply valve 51 is opened and the alkaline water supply valve 52, the acidic water supply valve 53 and the second drain valve (not shown) are opened irrespective of the water level sensor of the water storage tank 4 in the selection of acidic water in the upper electrolytic tank 3 The third drain valve 63 is opened to supply the acidic water to the acidic water cistern 10 while the first drain valve 61 is opened to supply the alkaline water to the cleaning water cistern 20, Blocking of the drain valve (62) prevents mixing of alkaline water and acidic water.

The alkaline water supply valve 52, the acidic water supply valve 53 and the third drain valve 63 are shut off while the water supply valve 51 is opened when the washing water generated by the electrolysis of the electrolytic bath 3 is discharged, The washing water flowing into the water tank 4 while the two drain valves 61 and 62 are opened is supplied to the washing tub 20 through the second drain valve 62 and the washing water flowing toward the acid tub 10 is discharged to the first The water supply valve 51 is shut off by the operation of the water level sensor at the high water level of the washing vat, and the sound of the washing water is turned on or the LED lamp is blinked and the low water level of the washing vat And the opening of the water supply valve due to the operation of the water level sensor is executed.

As shown in FIG. 8, the gastric acid cistern 10 and the cleansing cistern 20 are pierced through a through hole 30 in a corresponding one of the surfaces to overlap each other, To allow the acidic water to flow through the through-holes.

That is, one space is divided into an acidic watercourse and a cleansing watercourse, and when the acidic water becomes a high water level, the water is discharged through the high-level portion of the through-hole 30 and is stored in the cleansing watercourse 20. In addition, they are joined and separated by a single lid (not shown), so that the acidic water bottle 10 and the washing water bottle 20 can be cleaned simultaneously.

For example, when acidic water is supplied through alkaline water and acidic water through the acidic water pipe to be stored in the acidic water cistern, the water level of the acidic water cistern 10 is raised And the acid water is supplied to the cleaning tank through the through hole (30). If the acid water stored in the washing water tank is not used, the water level sensor 51 is closed by the operation of the water level sensor to stop the generation of alkaline water. In this case, To induce the use of washing water. On the other hand, when the water level drops, the water valve opens and the alkaline water is supplied by the operation of the water level sensor.
