The present invention relates to a portable purified water bottle using a filter recognition function, and more particularly, a filter recognition function capable of combining filters of various functions according to an environment or purpose by detaching and attaching three types of filter modules of different sizes individually. It relates to a used portable purified water bottle.

As environmental pollution intensifies in recent years, tap water pollution has become a big social problem.

As a means to cope with such tap water contamination, many water filters that filter out bacteria and various foreign substances while transporting raw water requiring purified water through a predetermined path have been developed and commercialized.

In recent years, it has become common to install a water purifier having a water filter in a space where people can reside in homes and offices, so that purified water can be drunk in daily life.

On the other hand, there are frequent cases of leaving resident spaces, such as travel, while there is room for living. In general, when enjoying outdoor activities such as hiking or fishing outdoors where the drinking water source is not sufficient, it is difficult to obtain potable drinking water because the water available outdoors is not clean.

In addition, it is a difficult problem to solve the drinking water problem even for soldiers and athletes who mainly train at night parties.

In this case, in order to obtain clean water, the method of drinking purified water while carrying it by carrying it in a portable water bottle has been mainly used to settle the foreign matter by allowing it to settle for a certain period of time while receiving the water. .

However, the method of boiling foreign substances by heating them is complicated in time and procedure, and it is unsanitary because foreign substances or bacteria in water cannot be completely removed, and drinking purified water in a portable water bottle is As it is limited, the amount of purified water you can drink in a portable water bottle is also limited.
