A container support ledge 250 may be formed on a portion of the upper surface of the support plate 200, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Accordingly, the container CT placed on the support plate 200 can be prevented from falling over or being separated from the support plate 200.

The door 300 may be provided on the device body 20 to open and close the above-described accommodation space (S) formed in the device body 20 of the water treatment device 10.

In addition, the door 300 is connected to the support plate 200 so that the outlet inlet (IO) provided on the other side of the container CT, for example, the upper part of the container CT, is connected to the other side of the receiving space S, for example, the receiving space. It can be connected to or separated from the inlet/outlet connection (C) provided at the top of (S).

Accordingly, as shown in Figures 4 to 10, with the door 300 opened so that the receiving space S is opened, the container CT is placed in the receiving space S so that it is placed on the support plate 200 and the door is opened. When (300) is closed, the outlet (IO) of the container (CT) can be connected to the inflow and outflow connection (C) of the receiving space (S).

In addition, when the container (CT) is accommodated in the receiving space (S) and the door 300 is opened so that the receiving space (S) is opened, the inflow and inlet (IO) of the container (CT) becomes the inflow and outflow of the receiving space (S). It can be separated from the connection part (C). Accordingly, the container (CT) accommodated in the receiving space (S) can be easily taken out to the outside.

In this way, as the door 300 is opened and closed, the outlet (IO) of the container (CT) is connected to or separated from the inflow and outflow connection portion (C) of the receiving space (S), so that the container (CT) can be easily replaced. You can.

However, the container CT is not particularly limited, and can be anything that can be accommodated in the accommodation space S.

In Figure 3, a water tank is shown as an example of a container (CT), and as shown in Figures 6 and 9, the container (CT), which is a water tank, has an inner tank (IT) and an inner tank (IT) inside. It may include an external tank (ET).

In addition, the outlet inlet (IO) of the container (CT) may include a first outlet inlet (IO1) connected to the internal tank (IT) and a second outlet inlet (IO2) connected to the external tank (ET). . For example, the first outlet (IO1) is formed in a circular shape at the top of the container (CT) as shown in Figure 3, and the second outlet (IO2) is formed in an annular shape around the first outlet (IO1) and is concentric. It can be done.

In addition, the inner tank (IT) can expand and contract, so when water flows into the inner tank (IT) through the first outlet inlet (IO1), the inner tank (IT) expands and the water stored in the outer tank (ET) expands. It can be discharged through the second outlet inlet (IO2). In addition, when water flows into the external tank (ET) through the second outlet inlet (IO2), the internal tank (IT) contracts and the water stored in the internal tank (IT) flows out to the outside through the first outlet inlet (IO1). may be discharged.

In this case, the inflow and outflow connection part (C) to which the inlet and inlet (IO) of the container (CT) is connected is a central circular first inflow and outflow connection part (C1) and a first inflow and outflow connection part (C1), as shown in Figure 2. It may include an annular second inflow and outflow connection part (C2) around the circumference of.

It can be connected to the second inflow and outflow connection part (C2).

In addition, the inflow and outflow connection part (C) may be provided with a first connection port (T1) connected to the first inflow and outflow connection part (C1) and a second connector (T2) connected to the second inflow and outflow connection part (C2).

Accordingly, water can flow in and out of the internal tank (IT) of the container (CT) through the first connector (T1), the first inlet/outlet connection (C1), and the first outlet/inlet (IO1). In addition, water can flow in and out of the external tank (ET) of the container (CT) through the second connector (T2), the second inlet/outlet connector (C2), and the second outlet/inlet (IO2).

The inflow and outflow connection part (C) to which the outlet (IO) of the container (CT) is connected may be provided on the upper surface member (26), which will be described later, included in the device body (20) of the water treatment device (10).

As shown, rotation guide grooves 22a and 26a may be formed, respectively. Additionally, rotation guide protrusions 310 may be formed on the upper and lower ends of the door 300, respectively. Also, the door 300 can rotate by inserting the rotation guide protrusion 310 of the door 300 into the rotation guide grooves 22a and 26a of the device body 20.

However, the configuration in which the door 300 rotates is not particularly limited, and any known configuration, such as rotation by a hinge (not shown), is possible.

A connecting protrusion 320 may be formed on the door 300. Additionally, the connecting protrusion 320 of the door 300 may be inserted into the connecting hole 240 of the support plate 200 described above. As a result, as the door 300 rotates, the support plate 200 can also rotate.

Meanwhile, an opening/closing valve (VL) may be connected to the above-described inflow and outflow connection portion (C) provided in the device main body 20 of the water treatment device 10. For example, two opening/closing valves (VL) may be connected to the inlet/outlet connection portion (C) as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

However, the number of on-off valves (VL) connected to the inflow and outflow connection portions (C) is not particularly limited, and any number is possible.

The opening/closing valve (VL) may be provided on the upper member 26 included in the device body 20 of the water treatment device 10.

One side of the on-off valve (VL) may be connected to the inflow and outflow connection portion (C) by a pipe connection member (FT). In addition, the other side of the on-off valve (VL) is connected to a water supply source (not shown) such as a filtration unit (not shown) including a water purification filter (not shown) of the water treatment device 10 or a water supply source (not shown) by a pipe connection member (FT).

Then, when the door 300 is opened while the container (CT) is accommodated in the receiving space (S), the outlet/inlet (IO) of the container (CT) is separated from the inlet/outlet connection portion (C) of the device body (20) and the opening/closing valve is opened. (VL) can be closed.

In this way, just by opening and closing the door 300, the connection or separation of the container CT to the inflow and outflow connection portion C is performed, and the opening and closing valve VL connected to the inflow and outflow connection portion C is performed, so that the container CT ) can be easily replaced, and the operation of the water treatment device 10 in which the container CT is accommodated can be easily operated.

To this end, the door 300 may be provided with a magnet (MN) so that the plunger (PL) included in the on-off valve (VL) moves depending on the rotation position to open and close the on-off valve (VL).

For example, the magnet (MN) may be provided in the extension portion 330 that extends from the opening/closing valve (VL) side of the door 300. However, the part of the door 300 equipped with the magnet (MN) is not particularly limited, and the plunger (PL) of the on-off valve (VL) moves according to the rotational position of the door 300, thereby opening and closing the on-off valve (VL). If possible, the part can be provided in any part of the door 300.

In this case, the on-off valve (VL) consists of a valve body (VB), valve cover (VC), diaphragm (DP), disk (DK), and plunger cap (CP) as shown in Figures 2, 7, and 10. , it may include a plunger (PL) and an elastic member (SP).

The diaphragm DP may be provided on the disk DK. In addition, the disk DK is provided in the valve body (VB), and the space formed by the valve body (VB) and the valve cover (VC) is connected to the first valve connection (TV1) side, the second valve connection (TV2) side, and the space formed by the valve body (VB) and the valve cover (VC). It can be divided into the valve cover (VC) side. In addition, holes are formed in the diaphragm (DP) and disk (DK), one side of the valve cover (VC) side, for example, the central part, is connected to the first valve connector (TV1), and the other side of the valve cover (VC) side, For example, the outer peripheral part can be connected to the second valve connector (TV2). As a result, a flow path P sequentially connecting the first valve connector (TV1) side, the valve cover (VC) side, and the second valve connector (TV2) side can be formed in the valve body (VB).

The plunger cap (CP) may be exposed to the outside by sealingly penetrating the valve cover (VC). Additionally, the plunger PL is movably provided on the plunger cap CP and can open and close the hole formed in the disk DK to open and close the passage P formed in the valve body VB. And, the elastic member (SP) can apply elastic force to the plunger (PL).

However, the configuration of the on-off valve (VL) is not particularly limited, and any known configuration is possible as long as the passage (P) formed in the on-off valve (VL) can be opened and closed by movement of the plunger (PL).

In this configuration, when the door 300 is rotated so that the receiving space (S) formed in the device body 20 of the water treatment device 10 is opened, the magnet MN is connected to the opening and closing valve VL, as shown in FIG. 5. moves away from the plunger cap (CP). Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 7, the plunger PL of the opening/closing valve (VL) moves, for example, rises due to the elastic force of the elastic member (SP) to close the hole formed in the disk (DK), thereby opening the opening/closing valve (VL). The flow path (P) of can be closed.

In addition, when the door 300 is rotated so that the receiving space S formed in the device main body 20 of the water treatment device 10 is closed by the door 300, the magnet MN opens and closes as shown in FIG. 8. It is located adjacent to the plunger cap (CP) of the valve (VL). Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 10, the plunger PL of the on-off valve VL moves, for example, descends, by the magnetic force of the magnet MN to open the hole formed in the disk DK, thereby opening the on-off valve VL. The flow path (P) of can be opened.
