The heating device is configured to heat the purified water to generate hot water, and the cooling device is configured to cool the purified water to generate cold water.

In order for the water purifier to provide hot or cold water, it must be able to heat or cool the water in a short time. For reference, there may be various methods of heating purified water in a short period of time, and referring to Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2005-0103723 (2005.11.01.), the purified water is heated by an induction heating method. The configuration is disclosed.

However, in the case of heating the purified water by the induction heating method, there is a problem that the magnetic flux generated in the coil is cross-linked with the electric wire of the input power unit, and EMI may be generated.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the drawings are used to indicate the same or similar components.

For reference, in the embodiment of the present invention, for convenience of explanation and understanding, a water purifier to which an induction heating method is applied will be described as an example. Of course, the present invention discloses in advance that it is applicable to all electronic devices (ie, household appliances) to which the induction heating method is applied.

Referring to Figure 4, the water purifier 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cover 1010, a water outlet 1020, the base 1030 and the tray 1040.

For reference, the water purifier 1000 may be divided into a water tank type and a direct water type depending on whether or not a water tank is provided. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the water purifier 1000 is not provided, and is immediately provided when the user operates the water outlet. A water purifier configured to filter raw water to provide water to a user will be described as an example.

First, the cover 1010 forms the appearance of the water purifier 1000. The appearance of the water purifier 1000 formed by the cover 1010 may be referred to as the main body of the water purifier 1000. Parts for filtering raw water are installed inside the main body of the water purifier 1000. The cover 1010 surrounds the parts to protect the parts. The name of the cover 1010 may be changed to a case or a housing, and may be called. Either name corresponds to the cover 1010 described in the present invention if it is made to surround parts that form the exterior of the water purifier 1000 and filter raw water.

The cover 1010 may be formed of a single component, but may be formed by combining several components. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the cover 1010 may include a front cover 1011, a rear cover 1014, a side panel 1013a, an upper cover 1012, and a top cover 1015.

For reference, an input/output unit 1016 may be formed in front of the top cover 1015. The input/output unit 1016 is a concept including an input unit and an output unit. The input unit is configured to receive a user's control command. The method in which the input unit receives the user's control command may include all of touch input, physical pressing, or the like. The output unit is configured to provide the user with audio-visual status information of the water purifier 1000.

The outlet unit (takeout unit or coke assembly, 1020) functions to provide a user with purified water according to a user's control command. At least a portion of the water outlet 1020 is exposed to the outside of the main body of the water purifier 1000 to supply water. In particular, in the water purifier 1000 configured to provide purified water at normal temperature, cold water colder than normal temperature, and hot water hotter than normal temperature, at least one of purified water at normal temperature, cold water, and hot water is discharged through the water outlet 1020 according to a control command received from a user. Can be.

The base 1030 forms the bottom of the water purifier 1000. The internal parts of the water purifier 1000 are supported by the base 1030. When the water purifier 1000 is placed on the floor or shelf, the base 1030 faces the floor or shelf. Therefore, when the water purifier 1000 is placed on a floor or a shelf, the structure of the base 1030 is not exposed to the outside.

The tray 1040 is arranged to face the water outlet 1020. Based on the case where the water purifier 1000 is installed as shown in FIG. 4, the tray 1040 faces the water outlet 1020 in the vertical direction. The tray 1040 is formed to support a container or the like for holding purified water or the like discharged through the water outlet part 1020. In addition, the tray 1040 is formed to receive the remaining water falling from the water outlet 1020. When the tray 1040 receives and receives the residual water falling from the water outlet 1020, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of contamination due to the residual water around the water purifier 1000.

Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the internal structure of the water purifier 1000 of FIG. 4 will be described.

5 is an exploded perspective view for explaining the internal configuration of the water purifier of FIG. 4.

Specifically, the filter unit 1060 is installed inside the front cover 1011. The filter unit 1060 is configured to filter the raw water supplied from the raw water supply unit to generate purified water. Since it may be difficult for a user to generate an integer suitable for drinking with only one filter, the filter unit 1060 may include a plurality of unit filters 1061 and 1062. The unit filters 1061 and 1062 include, for example, a prefilter such as a carbon block and an adsorption filter, a HEPA filter (High Efficiency Particulate Air filter), and a UF filter (Ultra Filteration or Ultra Filteration filter). And high performance filters. Although two unit filters 1061 and 1062 are installed in FIG. 5, the number of unit filters 1061 and 1062 may be expanded or reduced as necessary.

The purified water generated by the filter unit 1060 may be directly provided to the user through the water outlet unit 1020. In this case, the temperature of the purified water provided to the user corresponds to room temperature. Alternatively, the purified water generated by the filter unit 1060 may be heated by the induction heating module 1100 or cooled by the cold water tank assembly 1200.

The filter bracket assembly 1070 is a structure for fixing unit filters 1061 and 1062 of the filter unit 1060 and fixing parts such as a water discharge channel such as purified water or cold water, a valve, and a sensor.

The lower portion 1071 of the filter bracket assembly 1070 is engaged with the tray 1040. The lower portion 1071 of the filter bracket assembly 1070 is formed to receive the protruding engagement portion 1041 of the tray 1040. As the projecting coupling portion 1041 of the tray 1040 is inserted into the lower portion 1071 of the filter bracket assembly 1070, the filter bracket assembly 1070 and the tray 1040 are combined.

The lower portion 1071 of the filter bracket assembly 1070 and the tray 1040 have curved surfaces corresponding to each other. The lower portion 1071 of the filter bracket assembly 1070 can be rotated independently with respect to the rest of the filter bracket assembly 1070.

The upper portion 1072 of the filter bracket assembly 1070 is configured to support the water outlet portion 1020. The upper portion 1072 of the filter bracket assembly 1070 forms a rotation path of the water outlet portion 1020. The water outlet part 1020 may be divided into a take-out coke part 1021 protruding to the outside of the water purifier 1000 and a rotating part 1022 disposed inside the water purifier 1000. The rotating portion 1022 may be formed in a circular shape for rotation as shown in FIG. 5. The rotating portion 1022 is mounted on the upper portion 1072 of the filter bracket assembly 1070. The water outlet 1020 mounted on the upper portion 1072 of the filter bracket assembly 1070 is made to rotate relative to the filter bracket assembly 1070.

The lower portion 1071 and the upper portion 1072 of the filter bracket assembly 1070 may be connected to each other by an upper and lower connection portion 1073. The lower portion 1071 and the upper portion 1072 of the filter bracket assembly 1070 connected to each other by the upper and lower connection portions 1073 may be rotated in the same direction with each other. If the user rotates the water outlet 1020, the upper part 1072, upper and lower connections 1073, the lower part 1071, and the tray 1040 of the filter bracket assembly 1070 connected to the water outlet part 1020 are the water outlet part. It can be rotated with (1020).

Between the bottom 1071 and the top 1072 of the filter bracket assembly 1070 is formed a filter installation area 1074 configured to receive unit filters 1061 and 1062 of the filter unit 1060. The filter installation area 1074 provides an installation space for the unit filters 1061 and 1062.

On the opposite side of the filter installation area 1074, a support 1075 protruding toward the rear of the water purifier 1000 is formed. The support 1075 is configured to support the control module 1080 and the induction heating module 1100. The control module 1080 and the induction heating module 1100 are mounted on the support 1075. The support 1075 is disposed between the induction heating module 1100 and the compressor 1051 to prevent heat formed in the induction heating module 1100 from being conducted to the compressor 1051 or the like.

The control module 1080 is configured to implement overall control of the water purifier 1000. Various printed circuit boards that control the operation of the water purifier 1000 may be built in the control module 1080.

The induction heating module 1100 generates hot water by heating the purified water generated in the filter unit 1060. The induction heating module 1100 includes parts capable of heating purified water using an induction heating method. The induction heating module 1100 receives purified water from the filter unit 1060, and the hot water generated in the induction heating module 1100 is discharged through the water outlet 1020.

The induction heating module 1100 may include a printed circuit board that controls hot water generation. A protective cover 1161 may be coupled to one side of the induction heating module 1100 to prevent water from entering the printed circuit board and to protect the printed circuit board in the event of a fire.

The refrigeration cycle device 1050 generates cold water. The refrigeration cycle device 1050 refers to a set of devices in which the compression-condensation-expansion-evaporation process of the refrigerant occurs continuously. In order to generate cold water in the cold water tank assembly 1200, the refrigeration cycle device 1050 must first operate to make the coolant filled in the cold water tank assembly 1200 cool.

The refrigeration cycle device 1050 includes a compressor 1051, a condenser 1052, a capillary 1053, an evaporator (not shown, disposed inside the cold water tank assembly), a dryer 1055, and a refrigerant passage connecting them to each other. . The refrigerant flow path may be formed by piping or the like, and the refrigerant flow path connects the compressor 1051, the condenser 1052, the capillary 1053, and the evaporator to each other to form a circulation flow path of the refrigerant.

The compressor 1051 compresses the refrigerant. The compressor 1051 is connected to the condenser 1052 by a refrigerant passage, and the refrigerant compressed in the compressor 1051 flows to the condenser 1052 through the refrigerant passage. The compressor 1051 may be disposed under the support 1075 and is installed to be supported by the base 1030.

The condenser 1052 condenses the refrigerant. The refrigerant compressed in the compressor 1051 flows into the condenser 1052 through the refrigerant passage, and is condensed by the condenser 1052. The refrigerant condensed in the condenser 1052 flows to the dryer 1055 through the refrigerant passage.

The dryer 1055 removes moisture from the refrigerant. In order to improve the efficiency of the refrigeration cycle device 1050, moisture must be previously removed from the capillary tube 1053 and the refrigerant to be introduced into the evaporator. The dryer 1055 is installed between the condenser 1052 and the capillary tube 1053, and removes moisture from the refrigerant to improve the efficiency of the refrigeration cycle device 1050.

The expansion of the refrigerant is realized by capillaries 1053. The capillary tube 1053 is made to expand the refrigerant, and depending on the design, a throttle valve or the like may constitute an expansion device instead of the capillary tube 1053. The capillary tube 1053 may be rolled in a coil form to secure a sufficient length in a narrow space.

The evaporator evaporates the refrigerant and is installed inside the cold water tank assembly 1200. The coolant filled inside the cold water tank assembly 1200 and the refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle device 1050 are exchanged with each other by an evaporator, and the coolant may be kept at a low temperature by heat exchange. In addition, purified water may be cooled by cooling water maintained at a low temperature.

The refrigerant heated by heat exchange with the cooling water in the evaporator is returned to the compressor 1051 again along the refrigerant passage, and continuously circulates the refrigeration cycle device 1050.

The base 1030 supports the compressor 1051, the front cover 1011, the rear cover 1014, both side panels 1013a, 1013b, the filter bracket assembly 1070, the condenser 1052, the fan 1033, and the like. It is formed to. It is desirable that the base 1030 has high rigidity to support these components.

The condenser 1052 and the fan 1033 may be installed on the rear side of the water purifier 1000, and continuous air circulation is required for heat dissipation of the condenser 1052. An intake port 1034 may be formed at the bottom of the base 1030 for circulation of air. The air sucked through the intake port 1034 flows by the fan 1033. Air flows toward the condenser 1052 to implement air cooling. A fan 1033 and a duct structure 1032 surrounding the condenser 1052 may be fixed to the base 1030 to increase heat dissipation efficiency of the condenser 1052.

A drain 1035 is installed behind the duct structure 1032. The drain 1035 is exposed outside the water purifier 1000 to form a drain flow path. Since all of the internal flow paths of the water purifier 1000 are made to pass through, even if the drain 1035 is connected to any one internal flow path, all the fluid present in the internal flow path can be discharged through the drain 1035.

A support 1031 supporting the cold water tank assembly 1200 may be installed at an upper portion of the condenser 1052. The base 1031 has a first hole 1031a on the rear side, and the rear cover 1014 has a second hole 1014a. The first hole 1031a and the second hole 1014a are formed at positions corresponding to each other. The first hole 1031a and the second hole 1014a are for disposing a drain valve for draining cooling water filled in the cold water tank assembly 1200.

The cold water tank assembly 1200 is formed to receive coolant therein. The cold water tank assembly 1200 receives purified water generated by the filter unit 1060. In particular, in the case of the direct water purifier 1000 without a separate water storage tank, the cold water tank assembly 1200 may be directly supplied with purified water from the filter unit 1060.

The temperature of the coolant filled in the cold water tank assembly 1200 is lowered by the operation of the refrigeration cycle device 1050. The cold water tank assembly 1200 is configured to cool purified water with cooling water to form cold water.

Since the coolant is stored in the cold water tank assembly 1200 and does not circulate, after a long time, the degree of contamination of the coolant increases. For hygiene, the coolant stored in the cold water tank assembly is periodically discharged to the outside, and new coolant must be filled in the cold water tank assembly 1200.

Here, with reference to FIG. 6, the induction heating module 1100 and the control module 1080 of the water purifier 1000 of FIG. 4 will be described in more detail.

6 is an exploded perspective view illustrating an induction heating module and a control module of the water purifier of FIG. 4.

Specifically, the induction heating module 1100 refers to a set of parts that generate hot water by receiving purified water generated by the filter unit 1060 (see FIG. 5 ). In particular, in the case of a direct water purifier without a separate water storage tank (see 1000, FIGS. 4 and 5), the water purification may be directly supplied to the induction heating module 1100 from the filter unit 1060 (see FIG. 5) without going through the water storage tank. Can.

The induction heating module 1100 includes an induction heating printed circuit board 1110, an induction heating printed circuit board cover 1121, 1122, a hot water tank 1130, a working coil 1140, a bracket 1160, and a shield plate 1190. It includes.

The induction heating printed circuit board 1110 controls the induction heating operation of the working coil 1140. Both ends of the working coil 1140 are connected to the induction heating printed circuit board 1110 and controlled by the induction heating printed circuit board 1110. For example, when a user inputs a control command through the input/output unit 1016 of the water purifier (see 1000, FIGS. 4 and 5) to extract hot water, the purified water generated by the filter unit 1060 (see FIG. 5) is hot water. It is supplied to the tank 1130. The induction heating printed circuit board 1110 controls the current to flow through the working coil 1140. The hot water tank 1130 is induction heated by the current supplied to the working coil 1140. The purified water is instantaneously heated while passing through the hot water tank 1130 to become hot water.

The induction heating printed circuit board covers 1121 and 1122 are made to surround the induction heating printed circuit board 1110. The induction heating printed circuit board covers 1121 and 1122 include a first induction heating cover 1121 and a second induction heating cover 1122.

An induction heating printed circuit board 1110 is installed in the inner space formed by the first induction heating cover 1121 and the second induction heating cover 1122. The first induction heating cover 1121 and the second induction heating cover 1122 are coupled to each other to prevent water penetration. In addition, a sealing member (not shown) may be coupled to the edges of the first induction heating cover 1121 and the second induction heating cover 1122 to prevent ingress of water. The first induction heating cover 1121 and the second induction heating cover 1122 are preferably made of a flame retardant material to prevent the induction heating printed circuit board 1110 from being damaged by a fire.

The hot water tank 1130 heats purified water to generate hot water. The hot water tank 1130 has an internal space for heating the liquid. The hot water tank 1130 is induction heated by the magnetic force line formed by the working coil 1140. The liquid is heated while passing through the inner space of the hot water tank 1130 to become hot water. The hot water tank 1130 is made to maintain airtightness.

The working coil 1140 forms a magnetic force line for induction heating of the hot water tank 1130. The working coil 1140 is disposed on one side of the hot water tank 1130 to face the hot water tank 1130. When current is supplied to the working coil 1140, a magnetic force line is formed in the working coil 1140. The magnetic force line affects the hot water tank 1130, and the hot water tank 1130 is induction heated under the influence of the magnetic force line.

The shield plate 1190 is disposed on one side of the working coil 1140. The shield plate 1190 is disposed on the opposite side of the hot water tank 1130 based on the working coil 1140. The shield plate 1190 is to prevent the magnetic force lines generated from the working coil 1140 from being radiated to the rest of the area except the hot water tank 1130. The shield plate 1190 may be made of aluminum or other materials that change the flow of magnetic force lines.

Meanwhile, the control module 1080 includes a control printed circuit board 1082, a noise printed circuit board 1083, an NFC (Near Field Communication) printed circuit board 1084, a buzzer 1085, and a main printed circuit board ( 1086) and main printed circuit board covers 1087 and 1088.

The control printed circuit board 1082 is a sub configuration of the display printed circuit board (not shown). The control printed circuit board 1082 is not an essential configuration for driving a water supply device such as a water purifier 1000 (see FIG. 4), but serves as an auxiliary to a display printed circuit board (not shown).

The noise printed circuit board 1083 is for supplying power with reduced noise to the induction heating printed circuit board 1110 or the main printed circuit board 1086. That is, the noise printed circuit board 1083 reduces noise of AC power (ie, AC power) output from the input power unit 100 (see FIG. 7) to reduce the noise of the induction heating printed circuit board 1110 or the main printed circuit board 1086 ) Provides AC power with reduced noise. More details on the noise reduction of the noise printed circuit board 1083 will be described later.

For reference, since the output voltage for induction heating is very high, sufficient power must be supplied. Accordingly, an input power unit 100 (see FIG. 7) may be provided in case the power required for induction heating is not sufficiently supplied. The input power unit 100 (see FIG. 7) may supply a separate power to the induction heating printed circuit board 1110 to satisfy an output voltage for induction heating. In addition, the input power unit 100 (refer to FIG. 7) may serve to provide auxiliary power to the induction heating printed circuit board 1110 as well as other components (eg, the main printed circuit board 1086 ).

The buzzer 1085 outputs sound to provide accurate defect information to a user when a defect occurs in a water supply device such as a water purifier 1000 (see FIG. 4 ). The buzzer 1085 may output a specific sound of a previously input code according to a defect.

The NFC printed circuit board 1084 is for exchanging data with a communication device. Currently, personal communication devices such as smartphones are widely used. Therefore, if the consumer can check the state of the water purifier using the personal communication device or input a control command, the convenience of the consumer can be improved. The NFC printed circuit board 1084 may provide status information of a water supply device to a paired personal communication device, and receive a user's control command from the personal communication device.

The main printed circuit board 1086 controls the overall operation of a water supply device such as a water purifier 1000 (see FIG. 4).
