Description

Floating valve device {floating valve device}

The present invention relates to a floating valve device, and more particularly, to a tepid water dispensing device comprising a floating valve device that arranges a second floating fluid inside a first floating fluid so that water can float well even when the first floating fluid is filled with water, and a floating It's about valves.

In general, a valve is installed in a pipe for transporting high-pressure gas or fluid and is used for the purpose of controlling the transport of fluid by selectively opening and closing.

These valves are made of various structures depending on the purpose of use. For example, valves used in water purifiers typically use solenoid valves. The solenoid valve opens and closes the flow of fluid through repetitive operation due to the characteristics of a water purifier in which fluid must repeatedly flow and be blocked.

In addition, a water leakage detection sensor is installed and used to detect water leakage generated in the water purifier. That is, when water leakage is detected by the water leakage detection sensor, the user is notified of the water leakage state through an alarm or the like, or the supply of raw water is cut off in conjunction with a solenoid valve. That is, the solenoid valve has a structure in which the flow of fluid is opened when power is applied and the flow of fluid is closed by shutting off power when leakage occurs.

However, since these solenoid valves normally supply power, there is a problem in that electrical energy is consumed relatively much.

Therefore, by using a normally open valve structure that opens the flow of fluid when there is no power, that is, when the power is cut off, power is applied only when leakage occurs to close the flow of the fluid.

However, since the flow path remains open when the power supply is cut off during a power outage, the flow path is not normally blocked when water leakage occurs, and the water purification tank overflows, resulting in dissatisfaction from consumers.

In addition, both the valve and the leak detection sensor have a structure in which electricity is supplied to operate, and the price is high, and there is a problem in that electric energy must be continuously and necessarily used.

In addition, malfunctions of sensors and valves occur due to unstable power supply due to power outages or the like.
