Description
본 고안은 살균기능을 갖는 정수기용 저장조에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 정화된 물을 보관하는 저장조에 살균기능을 부여하여 정화수가 장시간 저장조에 체류되어도 각종 세균에 의한 오염을 방지할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 정화수에 함유되어 있는 각종 유해물질을 제거할 수 있어 정화수를 안전하게 식수로 사용할 수 있도록 한 살균기능을 갖는 정수기용 저장조에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a storage tank for a water purifier having a sterilization function, and more particularly, to provide a sterilization function to a storage tank for storing purified water, and to prevent contamination by various bacteria even if the purified water stays in the storage tank for a long time. The present invention relates to a storage tank for a water purifier having a sterilizing function capable of removing various harmful substances contained in purified water so that the purified water can be safely used as drinking water.
산업이 급격하게 발달되면서 각종 오염물질과 오폐수의 발생량이 급격하게 증가되고 있으며, 이렇게 발생된 오염물질과 오폐수의 일부는 상수원으로 유입되어 식수를 오염시키고 있다. 상수원으로 오염된 물을 소비자가 그대로 마실 경우 소비자의 건강에 심대한 악영향을 줄 수 있어 정수장에서는 상수원으로 유입된 물을 일차적으로 정화처리한 후 각 가정으로 공급하고 있다.With the rapid development of the industry, the generation of various pollutants and waste water is rapidly increasing, and some of the pollutants and waste water generated are introduced into the water supply to contaminate drinking water. If consumers drink water contaminated with a water supply source as it is, it can adversely affect the health of consumers, and the water purification plant first purifies water introduced into the water supply and supplies it to each household.
그러나, 근래에 들어 각 가정으로 공급되는 수돗물에 대한 소비자의 불신이 급격하게 늘어나면서 수돗물을 다시 한번 더 정화처리하여 마실 수 있도록 정수기를 설치하는 가정이 늘어나고 있다. 뿐만 아니라 사무실이나 공장 등에서도 간편하게 정화된 물을 마실 수 있도록 하기 위하여 정수기를 설치하고 있다.However, in recent years, as consumer distrust of tap water supplied to each household has sharply increased, households installing water purifiers to purify and drink tap water once again are increasing. In addition, water purifiers are installed in order to drink purified water easily in offices and factories.
일반적으로 정수기는 수돗물이나 기타 정화하고자 하는 원수를 다단계의 필터로 여과 처리하여 수돗물 등에 포함된 중금속이나 기타 유해물질을 제거할 수 있도록 한 것이다. 이때, 정수기의 필터부재를 거친 정화된 물은 바로 소비되지 않고 저장조에 유입되어 보관되게 된다. 저장조에 보관된 물은 사용자에 의해 일정량 소비되고 소비된 만큼의 양에 해당되는 물은 다시 정화처리된 후 저장조로 유입되어 보관되게 된다.In general, the water purifier is to filter the tap water or other raw water to be purified by a multi-stage filter to remove heavy metals or other harmful substances contained in the tap water. At this time, the purified water passing through the filter member of the water purifier is not immediately consumed and is stored in the storage tank. The water stored in the reservoir is consumed by the user in a certain amount and the water corresponding to the amount consumed is purified again and then flowed into the reservoir to be stored.
도 1에 도시된 바와 같이 정수기에 내장되는 저장조(200)는 일반적으로 정화된 물이 보관되는 저장조 본체(210)와, 상기 저장조 본체(210) 상단으로 놓여지는 저장조 커버(220)를 포함하며, 상기 저장조 본체(210)의 상부 일측과 하부 일측에는 각각 정화수 유입구(211)와 정화수 배출구(212)가 형성된다. 이러한 구조의 저장조(200)는 정화기 내의 다단계 필터부재를 통과한 정화수가 유입구(211)를 통해 저장조 본체(210)로 유입되어 보관되며, 보관된 정화수는 배출구(212)를 거쳐 정수기 외부에 설치된 출구로 이송되어 배출된다.As shown in FIG. 1, the reservoir 200 included in the water purifier generally includes a reservoir body 210 in which purified water is stored, and a reservoir cover 220 placed on an upper end of the reservoir body 210. The purified water inlet 211 and the purified water outlet 212 are formed at one upper side and one lower side of the reservoir body 210, respectively. The storage tank 200 of this structure is the purified water passing through the multi-stage filter member in the clarifier flows into the reservoir body 210 through the inlet 211, the stored clarified water is discharged through the outlet 212, the outlet installed outside the water purifier Transported and discharged.
그러나, 상기한 구성을 갖는 정수기의 저장조는 정수된 물이 장시간 체류하는 경우가 많은데, 이 경우 대장균이나 기타 세균들이 저장조 내에서 쉽게 증식되어 물을 부패시키거나 오염시게 되는 문제점이 있다. 또한 기존의 정수기는 염소, 곰팡이, 악취물질, 트리할로메탄과 같은 발암성물질 및 환경호르몬 등의 유해물질을 제거할 수 있는 기능이 충분하지가 않아 정수기 내부의 정화처리 시스템을 거친 정화수에는 상기 유해물질이 소량 함유되는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 상기와 같이 세균에 의해 부패된 물이나 유해물질을 함유하고 있는 물을 이용자가 그대로 마실 경우 신체 건강에 악영향을 줄 수 있다는 문제점이 있다.However, in the storage tank of the water purifier having the above-described configuration, the purified water often stays for a long time, and in this case, E. coli or other bacteria easily proliferate in the storage tank, causing the water to decay or contaminate. In addition, the existing water purifier does not have enough functions to remove harmful substances such as chlorine, mold, odorous substances, carcinogenic substances such as trihalomethane, and environmental hormones. There is a problem that contains a small amount of harmful substances. Therefore, there is a problem that can adversely affect the health of the body if the user drinks the water or water containing harmful substances that are corrupted by the bacteria as described above.
이에 본 고안은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위한 것으로, 정수기의 저장조에 보관된 물이 각종 세균들에 의해 오염되는 것을 방지함과 아울러 정화수 내에 함유되어 있는 유해물질을 제거할 수 있도록 하여 정화수 내에 저장된 정화수를 안전하게 식수로 사용할 수 있도록 한 살균기능을 갖는 정수기용 저장조를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.The present invention is to solve the above problems, the water stored in the storage tank of the water purifier to prevent contamination by various bacteria and to remove the harmful substances contained in the purified water to be stored in the purified water It is an object of the present invention to provide a reservoir for a water purifier having a sterilization function which enables the purified water to be safely used as drinking water.

이하 본 고안을 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 보다 상세하게 설명하기로 하나, 이는 본 고안의 이해를 돕기 위하여 제시된 것일 뿐, 본 고안이 이에 한정되는 것은아니다.Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are presented to assist in understanding the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
도 2는 본 고안에 따른 정수기용 저장조의 사시도이고, 도 3은 도 2에 도시된 정수기용 저장조의 분해사시도이며, 도 4는 도 2에 도시된 정수기용 저장조의 단면도이다.FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a water storage tank according to the present invention, FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the water storage tank shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the water storage tank shown in FIG. 2.
상기 도 2 내지 도 4에서 보는 바와 같이 본 고안에 따른 정수기용 저장조(100)는 저장조 본체(110)와, 저장조 본체(110) 내부에 안착되는 광촉매부(120)와, 상기 저장조 본체(110)의 상단에 결합되는 저장조 커버(130)와, 광촉매부(120)에 자외선을 공급하는 자외선 램프부(140)를 포함한다.As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, the reservoir 100 for the water purifier according to the present invention includes a reservoir main body 110, a photocatalyst 120 seated inside the reservoir main body 110, and the reservoir main body 110. Storage tank cover 130 is coupled to the top of the, and the ultraviolet lamp unit 140 for supplying ultraviolet light to the photocatalyst unit 120.
상기에서 저장조 본체(110)는 상부 일측면에 정화수가 유입되는 유입구(111)가 형성되고, 하부 일측면에 저장된 정화수가 배출되는 배출구(112)가 형성된다. 이때, 상기 유입구(111)를 통해 유입되는 정화수는 정수기 내부의 정화처리 공정을 거친 것이다.The reservoir main body 110 is formed with an inlet 111 through which the purified water flows on one side of the upper portion, and an outlet 112 through which the purified water stored on the lower side is discharged. At this time, the purified water flowing through the inlet 111 is a purification process inside the water purifier.
저장조 본체(110)의 크기와 형상은 필요에 따라 자유롭게 변화를 줄 수 있으나, 저장조 본체(110)의 크기는 저장되는 정화수의 양과 밀접한 관계가 있으므로 이를 고려하여 적정 크기로 하며, 또한 자외선 램프부(140)에서 발산되는 자외선의 발산 범위를 함께 고려하여 적정한 크기로 하는 것이 좋다.The size and shape of the reservoir main body 110 can be freely changed as needed, but the size of the reservoir main body 110 is closely related to the amount of purified water to be stored, so that the size and shape of the reservoir main body 110 are appropriately taken into consideration. In consideration of the divergence range of the ultraviolet rays emitted in 140) it is good to set it to an appropriate size.
저장조 본체(110)의 내부에는 광촉매부(120)가 장착되는데, 광촉매부(120)는 저장조 본체(110)의 유입구(111)와 배출구(112)에 대응되는 위치에 통공(121,122)이 형성되어 있으며, 표면에 광촉매가 코팅되어 있다.The photocatalyst 120 is mounted inside the reservoir body 110, and the photocatalyst 120 has through holes 121 and 122 formed at positions corresponding to the inlet 111 and the outlet 112 of the reservoir body 110. Photocatalyst is coated on the surface.
이때, 통공(121,122)은 유입구(111)를 통해 유입되는 물이 광촉매부(120) 내부에 유입되어 저장될 수 있도록 함과 아울러 광촉매부(120) 내에 유입되어 저장된 물이 배출구(112)를 통해 외부로 용이하게 배출될 수 있도록 하기 위하여 형성된 것이다. 광촉매부(120)에 코팅된 광촉매로는 일반적으로 사용되는 것을 사용할 수 있으며, 본 고안에서는 이산화티탄 광촉매를 사용하였다.In this case, the through holes 121 and 122 allow water introduced through the inlet 111 to be stored and introduced into the photocatalytic unit 120, and the water stored and introduced into the photocatalytic unit 120 is discharged through the outlet 112. It is formed to be easily discharged to the outside. As the photocatalyst coated on the photocatalyst unit 120, a commonly used photocatalyst may be used, and in the present invention, a titanium dioxide photocatalyst was used.
상기 이산화티탄 광촉매에 자외선이 조사되게 되면 광촉매 반응을 일으키게 된다. 즉, 이산화티탄 광촉매에 자외선이 조사되면 강한 환원력과 산화력을 갖는 전자와 정공이 형성되며, 생성된 정공은 물과 용존산소 등과의 반응에 의해 OH 라디칼 (radical)과 활성산소를 생성시킨다. 생성된 OH라디칼은 유기물을 구성하는 분자 중에 탄소-탄소, 탄소-질소, 산소-수소, 질소-수소 등의 결합 에너지보다 높아 간단히 절단하여 분해시키기 때문에 식수에 녹아 있는 각종 유해한 화학물질, 악취물질을 분해하게 되며, 또한 살균효과를 나타내게 된다.When ultraviolet light is irradiated onto the titanium dioxide photocatalyst, a photocatalytic reaction is caused. That is, when ultraviolet rays are irradiated to the titanium dioxide photocatalyst, electrons and holes having strong reducing power and oxidizing power are formed, and the generated holes generate OH radicals and active oxygen by reaction with water and dissolved oxygen. The generated OH radicals are higher than the binding energy of carbon-carbon, carbon-nitrogen, oxygen-hydrogen, nitrogen-hydrogen, etc. among the molecules constituting the organic substance, and are easily broken down to decompose various harmful chemicals and odorous substances dissolved in drinking water. Decompose and also have a bactericidal effect.
저장조 본체(110)의 상단에는 저장조 커버(130)가 형성되는데, 저장조 커버(130)의 중앙에는 결합공(131)이 형성되어 있어 자외선 램프부(140)의 체결구(141)와 결합되게 된다.A reservoir cover 130 is formed at an upper end of the reservoir body 110, and a coupling hole 131 is formed at the center of the reservoir cover 130 to be coupled to the fastener 141 of the ultraviolet lamp unit 140. .
자외선 램프부(140)는 상부 외주연으로 상기 저장조 커버(130)의 결합공(131)에 체결되는 체결구(141)가 형성되고, 하측으로 자외선을 발산하는 램프(142)가 구비된다. 이러한 자외선 램프부(140)는 상단의 전원공급구(143)를 통해 전원을 공급받으면 램프(142)에서 자외선이 발산되게 된다. 발산된 자외선은 자체로서의 항균작용을 나타냄과 아울러 광촉매를 활성화시켜 광촉매 반응을 유도하여 정화수의 항균 및 유해물질의 분해를 유도하게 된다.The ultraviolet lamp unit 140 has a fastener 141 fastened to the coupling hole 131 of the reservoir cover 130 at the upper outer circumference thereof, and is provided with a lamp 142 that emits ultraviolet rays downward. The ultraviolet lamp unit 140 is ultraviolet light is emitted from the lamp 142 when the power is supplied through the upper power supply port 143. The emitted ultraviolet rays exhibit antibacterial activity as well as induce photocatalytic reactions by activating the photocatalysts to induce antibacterial and decomposition of harmful substances in purified water.
이때, 저장조 커버(130)의 결합공(131)과 자외선 램프부(140)의 체결구(141)가 체결되는 수단은 다양한 공지의 수단을 접목할 수 있으며, 본 고안에서는 자외선 램프부(140)의 교체가 용이하도록 나사결합하여 체결되도록 하였다.At this time, the means for fastening the coupling hole 131 of the reservoir cover 130 and the fastener 141 of the ultraviolet lamp unit 140 may be grafted in a variety of known means, in the present invention UV lamp unit 140 To be replaced by screwing for easy replacement.
