Description

Pet-only water purifier

The present invention allows companion animals (eg, dogs, cats, etc.) to eat circulating purified water while preventing urinary system diseases (eg, cystitis, urolithiasis, etc.) that may occur in companion animals. It is about water purifier.

In general, a water purifier is a device that removes impurities by filtering the water supplied from a water source by a physical and chemical method, and there is a need to provide purified water from the water purifier to a companion animal living in a living space such as a person. have.

Accordingly, conventionally, various types of companion water purifiers have been disclosed.

For example, Registered Utility Model Publication No. 20-0310617 (Registration Date 2003.04.02. Hereinafter referred to as 'Prior Art 1') and Registered Utility Model Publication No. 20-0311167 (Registration Date 2003.04.21. In the above), when a water pipe equipped with a water filter is connected to a direct water pipe or a person directly inputs water into the water tank, when the purified water is discharged through the water filter, a companion animal can eat it.

However, prior arts 1 and 2 are stored in a water tank, and the purified water is not continuously circulated, but maintains a stagnant state, so it is difficult to properly manage water quality.

On the other hand, in the published patent publication No. 10-2017-0017718 (published on Feb. 16, 2017, hereinafter referred to as `` Prior Art 3 ''), the purified water is placed on a pedestal, etc. It must be followed directly, which is a limitation that can not continuously supply purified water as much as the amount of water required by the companion animal when the user goes out. As it cannot be circulated, water quality management could not be performed properly.

That is, although the prior arts described above provide purified water to a companion animal through a water filter, it is necessary to additionally maintain the purification performance and cleanliness of the water tank.

On the other hand, the prior art described above has a shape similar to the water intake unit provided for the companion animal in the water purifier, it is simply contained in water and has a shape that is not particularly interesting for companion animals, and the intake unit is close to the ground. It is highly likely to be contaminated with dust or bacteria.

In addition, since a conventional water purifier for companion animals has a side surface protruding from the bottom of the main body, and a water bowl having a size smaller than that of a water purifier body is relatively provided, a plurality of companion animals drink water at a time. It is uncomfortable, and there is a limitation, not a structure that can cause the interest of a companion animal because the exposed surface is not wide.

On the other hand, conventional water purifiers dedicated to companion animals may pump water purified by applying a pump in addition to the prior art, but the pump operates in the absence of water and there is a problem that a malfunction occurs. This requires the user's careful attention.

In addition, in the conventional water purifier for pets to which a conventional pump is applied, it is difficult to provide a quality drinking water to a companion animal because the filter is replaced from a subjective viewpoint of the user without informing the filter replacement cycle.

In addition, the conventional water purifier for pets to which a pump is applied is not set differently according to day and night, but is supplied in the same way, considering the guardians and pets sleeping at night, and the filter usage time and The power consumption could not be reduced.

In addition, since the conventional water purifier for pets to which a pump is applied is fixed to the bottom surface of the water tank to which the electric wire is connected, a lot of noise is generated and it is difficult to disassemble the pump, making cleaning of the water tank inconvenient, especially the pump It was difficult to replace or repair.

In addition, the conventional water purifier for pets to which a pump is applied requires periodic cleaning, but because it is an electrically controlled product, it is inevitable to clean the consumables with the wire or pump, PCB, etc. inserted into the body or water bottle together. In this case, there is a disadvantage that cleaning is difficult, such as washing while blocking water contact to the electric wire.

In addition, since a conventional water purifier dedicated to a pet to which a pump is applied induces interest only by the sound and shape of water flowing, there are many cases where the companion animal cannot properly drink water.

In addition, since the conventional water purifier for pets to which a pump is applied is coupled through a waterproof O-ring for blocking leakage, a certain force is required to separate the filter, but most users who raise pets are female Considering the point, it is difficult to separate from the filter, and even when the filter is separated, when it is recombined, the coupling is not properly performed, and in many cases, water is leaked due to poor waterproofing.

Referring to the accompanying Figures 1 to 8, a companion water purifier dedicated to an embodiment of the present invention, cradle 10, storage tank 20, pump 30, filter assembly 40, drinking fountain 50 ).

When the commercial power (AC 220) is supplied through the external power line, the cradle 10 supplies the driving power from the commercial power to the pump 30 and houses the circuit unit 100 for performing electronic control. will be.

Accordingly, the cradle 10 is formed with a vertical storage portion 11 for accommodating the circuit portion 100, as well as the storage portion 11 is configured to be sealed by a cover 12 I put it.

Here, a first terminal portion 13 electrically connected to the circuit portion 100 is formed on an upper surface of the storage portion 11, and the first terminal portion 13 may be a terminal groove or a terminal pin.

On the other hand, the cradle 10 may be made of a combination structure of the lower cradle 14 and the upper cradle 15, the storage portion 11 forming a vertical shape on one side of the upper cradle 15 is formed to protrude. will be.

The reason for applying the structure for sealing the cover 12 after receiving and fixing the circuit part 100 thereon after protrudingly forming the vertical storage part 11 on the cradle 10 is from the cradle 10. The storage tank 20, the pump 30, and the filter assembly 40 and the drinking fountain 50 is to facilitate the washing operation is separated, thus the problem of the conventional companion animal water purifier It is possible to expect the effect of easily solving the difficulty of cleaning the main body or water tank in which the wire, pump, PCB, etc. indicated by are inserted.

As the storage part 100 is vertically configured, even if water comes into contact with the storage part 100, it does not stagnate and flows down along the storage part 100. 100) is not affected by water contact.

On the other hand, the storage unit 11 has an operation switch 16 exposed to the outside through the cover 12 while being electrically connected to the circuit unit 100, the pump 30 by the operation switch 16 ) Can be driven.

The storage tank 20 is an upper open-type structure in which a certain amount of water is stored, and is placed on the cradle 10, and in one direction around the storage tank 20, an inner direction is provided to accommodate the storage unit 11. It is to form a recessed receiving groove (21).

Here, the storage tank 20 may be configured as a capacitive sensor 200 that is electrically connected to the circuit unit 100 as shown in Figure 5 attached, the capacitive sensor 200 is the storage tank 20 It is configured to check the amount of water stored therein and deliver it to the circuit unit 100.

Accordingly, the circuit unit 100 includes a control unit 101 for turning on or off the driving of the pump 30 according to a result checked by the capacitive sensor 200, and a control signal output from the control unit 101. Accordingly, it may further include a notification unit 102 for outputting a water storage amount notification signal, and may further include a timer 103 for checking a filter replacement cycle, so that the control unit 101 may include the timer 103 ), It is possible to output and control the notification signal through the notification unit 102 to inform the user of the filter replacement cycle according to the time information.

At this time, the notification unit 102 may be configured as a speaker that outputs a notification sound such as an LED lamp or 'beep' that irradiates light to the outside through the cover 12.

Meanwhile, as in the attached block diagram of FIG. 5, an illuminance sensor 300 may be further configured in any one of the cradle 10, the reservoir 20, and the drinking stand 50, and accordingly, The control unit 101 outputs a signal to control on or off driving of the pump 30 according to the detection signal of the illuminance sensor 300, and to increase or decrease the driving amount when the pump 30 is turned on. You can do it.

Therefore, the water purifier for companion animals according to an embodiment of the present invention can easily help the user to grasp the filter replacement or water shortage through the notification unit 102, thereby helping the companion animal to live a healthy life, and the illuminance. Through the sensor 300, day and night are divided into dark and bright, and automatic adjustment of the time and amount of water is possible, so that the guardian and companion animals asleep at night can be considered, as well as the filter usage time. It can be expected to reduce the power consumption.

In addition, by applying the timer 103 described above, it is possible to provide high quality drinking water to companion animals by allowing the user to recognize the filter replacement cycle at an appropriate time.

In addition, when the capacitive sensor 200 is applied, when the water in the storage tank 20 is exhausted for a certain amount or more, the user is notified through the notification unit 102, and the control unit 101 automatically As the driving power supplied to the pump 30 is cut off, the product itself is protected, and drinking water can be continuously provided to the companion animal. In the case of a conventional water purifier for companion animals, there is no water due to the nature of the circulation type pump. It improves the risk of failure when operating in a state, and the problem that the pump 30 continuously operates even when the water in the reservoir 20 is exhausted.

The pump 30 is driven by receiving driving power from the circuit unit 100 and configured to pump water stored in the reservoir 20 through the filter assembly 40 to the drinking fountain 50. will be.

At this time, the pump 30 is formed with a connecting portion 31 forming a sixth flow path U6, and the connecting portion 31 is made of an internal body 52 to be described later, which is configured in the drinking fountain 50. 1 can be coupled and fixed in a fitting manner to the engaging portion 52a, whereby the pump 30 can maintain an levitation state spaced apart from the inner bottom surface of the reservoir 20 inside the reservoir 20 It is.

On the other hand, when the pump 30 maintains the levitation shape from the inner bottom surface of the storage tank 20, the noise blocking effect due to the pumping operation of the pump 30 is increased, and the storage tank 20 When separating the drinking stand 50 from the top, the pump 30 is also separated, so that the cleaning of the storage tank 20 can be easily performed, as well as the pump 30 to the drinking stand 50 Since it can be easily separated from, the washing of the drinking table 50 can be easily performed, and in particular, it is possible to expect the effect of significantly reducing the AS cost as the user's self-replacement with respect to the pump 30 is possible.

Here, when the connection portion 31 is fitted to the first coupling portion 52a, a packing (not shown) is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the connection portion 31, and accordingly, water is pumped by the pump 30. When flowing into the sixth flow path U6, leakage was not generated between the first coupling portion 52a and the connecting portion 31.

The filter assembly 40 is to purify the water pumped by the pump 30, and includes a cylindrical portion 41, first and second caps 42, 43, and a cover portion 44. .

That is, when water passes along the first flow path U1 of the cylindrical portion 41, it can be purified while passing through the filter insert.

Here, when the filter insert is filled in the first flow path U1, the water passes through the filter insert 100% along the first flow path U1, so that the water purifier provides the chlorine amount and turbidity of the water to a person. It can be lowered in the same way.

That is, since the water is repeatedly circulated after returning to the storage tank 20 after being first purified, the process of pumping again is repeated, so that the amount of chlorine and turbidity of water can be gradually lowered, and accordingly, as a problem of a conventional water purifier dedicated to companion animals, Since 100% of the water entering the filter does not pass through the filter component, it is possible to improve the problem that the amount of chlorine and turbidity of the water discharged through the filter does not have a significant difference from before passing through the filter.

The first cap 42 is coupled to the lower end of the cylindrical portion 41, and forms a second flow path U2 in communication with the first flow path U1.

The second cap 43 is coupled to the upper end of the cylindrical portion 41, and communicates with the first flow path U1 to provide a third flow path U2 for discharging purified water to the drinking table 50. It is formed.

The cover portion 44 is coupled to the other end of the central portion of the drinking table 50, the first cap 42 is seated, forming a fourth flow path (U4) in communication with the second flow path (U2) I did it.
