It consists of 78.

With reference to Figure 4 looks at the operation of the water leakage preventing device 100 of the bottle according to the present invention provided.

First, the bottled water bottle 1 is opened and the bottled water bottle holder 10 in which the sterilizing means 30 and the air inlet pipe 40 are placed is covered. At this time, the opening and closing member 42 blocks the bottled water discharge hole 22 of the plug member 20 by the elastic force of the elastic member 50. In addition, the ball member 74 of the bottled water preventing means 70 shown in FIG. 3 is pushed up by the water pressure in the air inlet pipe 40 to block the air distribution hole 76a of the separator 76, so that the inside of the pipe The inflow of bottled water is also prevented.

After that, when the bottled water bottle stand 10 is covered with the bottled water container 1 and turned upside down and placed on the feeding portion 2a of the bottled water dispenser 2, the bottled water can be discharged for drinking. At this time, the bottom bent portion of the air inlet pipe 40 is in contact with the bottom surface of the inlet (2a), and at the same time the air inlet pipe 40 flows (rises) a predetermined interval upwards, the pressing force is Acts as the top.

In this case, the opening and closing member 42 which is integrally coupled to the air inlet pipe 40 by the pressing force is also interlocked so that the bottled water discharge hole 22 is opened. At this time, the bottled water can be discharged as shown in the solid arrow direction, and the elastic member 50 is compressed. Of course, the support member 44 is supported to assist in the ascending operation of the air inlet pipe (40).

Furthermore, when the bottled water is discharged, the phenomenon of inflow of external air into the bottled water bottle 1 is made, and this air is led through the air inlet pipe 40 as shown by the dotted arrow. That is, since the pressure inside the bottled water bottle 10 becomes a low pressure state, the ball member 74 is pushed up by the inflow pressure of external air, and the external air flows in by opening the air distribution hole 76a. At this time, the ball member 74 is blocked by the stopper 78 is no longer raised.

In addition, the air filter 60 provided at the inlet of the air inlet pipe 40 serves to purify the outside polluted air. Therefore, only clean air is always introduced into the bottled water bottle 1, and thus, even if the bottled water is used for a long time, the growth of bacteria can be prevented. Of course, if the sterilization means 30 such as an ultraviolet lamp is further operated, the bottled water can be stored more hygienically.

Furthermore, when the bottled water bottle 1 and the bottled water bottle holder 10 are combined and placed on the bottled water dispenser 2, the bottled water may be introduced into the air inlet pipe 10 by the flipping operation. Impeded by means 70. That is, since the air distribution hole 76a of the separator plate 76 is blocked by the ball member 74, the inflow of bottled water can be prevented.

On the other hand, when the bottled water bottle 1 and the bottled water bottle 10 are separated from the bottled water dispenser 2 together, the opening and closing member 42 and the air inlet pipe 40 are released by the restoring action of the elastic member 50 together with the release of the pressing pressure. ) Is moved to the original position. Therefore, the bottled water discharge hole 22 is blocked, so the bottled water inside the bottled water bottle 1 does not leak to the surroundings in this separation process.

According to the present invention described above, since the bottled water takes an opening and closing structure in which the bottled water does not leak when the bottled water bottle is placed on the bottled water dispenser or moved separately, unnecessary consumption of the bottled water can be reduced. In addition to a separate air induction structure for introducing only clean air when the inflow of external air accompanying the discharge of the bottled water, it also includes a sterilization function to prevent the contamination of the bottled water is possible long-term hygienic preservation. Since the bottled water does not flow into the incidental air inlet pipe, the outside air is smoothly moved in and out.
