Description
본 발명은 향상된 항균 및 살균력을 갖는 정수기용 물탱크의 살균장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a sterilizing apparatus for a water tank for water purifier with improved antibacterial and sterilizing power.
일반적으로, 정수기는 전처리 침전 필터, 전처리 카본 필터, 역삼투압(R/O) 필터 또는 중공사막 필터, 그리고 후처리 카본 필터의 네 가지 단계로 구성되어 있고, 정수 되어진 물은 물탱크에 저장되어 연속 냉장 보관하도록 되어 있다. In general, the water purifier consists of four stages: pretreatment precipitation filter, pretreatment carbon filter, reverse osmosis (R / O) filter or hollow fiber membrane filter, and aftertreatment carbon filter, and the purified water is stored in a water tank and continuously Refrigerated.
정수 처리된 물이 물탱크에 체류하는 시간은 물 사용량에 따라 차이가 있지만, 물탱크 내부의 물 자체가 대기와 접촉해 있으므로 물탱크는 쉽게 세균의 서식처가 되어왔다. 대부분의 정수기가 세균 서식에 의한 2차 오염 문제를 갖고 있기 때문에, 이를 방지할 수 있는 새로운 대안이 필요하게 되었다.The time the purified water stays in the water tank depends on the amount of water used. However, the water tank has easily become a habitat for bacteria because the water in the water tank is in contact with the atmosphere. Since most water purifiers have secondary contamination problems caused by bacterial habitats, new alternatives are needed to prevent them.
최근에는, 오존살균기와 UV 살균기 등을 설치하여 정수 처리된 물을 살균 처리한 후에 물탱크로 보내는 시스템이 개발되어 널리 보급되고 있다. 그러나, 물탱크에 장시간 저장되어 있는 물은 시간에 따라 소독 기능이 감소하기 때문에 쉽게 세균의 서식처가 되어 안전성에 한계를 갖고 있다.In recent years, an ozone sterilizer, a UV sterilizer, etc. have been installed to sterilize purified water and send it to a water tank. However, water stored for a long time in the water tank has a limitation on safety because it is easily inhabited by bacteria because the disinfection function decreases with time.
본 발명은 상기한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 안출된 것으로, 본 발명의 목적은램프에서 발생되는 빛 네어지를 받아 광촉매를 활성화시켜 물속의 박테리아와 지속적으로 접촉되도록 함으로써 세균에 대한 항균 및 살균력을 높일 수 있는 정수기용 물탱크를 제공함에 있다.The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to increase the antibacterial and bactericidal power against bacteria by continually contacting the bacteria in the water by activating a photocatalyst by receiving a light energy generated from the lamp To provide a water tank for a water purifier.
전술한 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명에 따른 정수기용 물탱크는, 물이 저장되는 본체; 상기 본체의 내벽면에 코팅된 광촉매; 및 상기 광촉매에 빛을 조사하는 램프를 포함하여 구성된 것을 특징으로 한다.Water tank for a water purifier according to the present invention for achieving the above object, the water body is stored; A photocatalyst coated on the inner wall surface of the main body; And a lamp irradiating light to the photocatalyst.
위와 같은 구성에 따르면, 램프로부터 발생되는 빛을 통해 광촉매를 활성화시켜 물속에 포함된 세균과의 접촉성을 지속적으로 증대시킬 수 있기 때문에 세균에 대한 항균 및 살균력을 월등히 높일 수 있다.According to the configuration as described above, by activating the photocatalyst through the light generated from the lamp can continuously increase the contact with the bacteria contained in the water can significantly increase the antibacterial and bactericidal power against the bacteria.
이하, 본 발명의 바람직한 일실시예를 첨부도면을 참조하여 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
도 1은 본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 정수기용 물탱크를 도시한 사시도이고, 도 2는 도 1의 단면구조를 보여주는 단면도이다.1 is a perspective view showing a water tank for a water purifier according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross-sectional structure of FIG.
도 1 및 도 2를 참조하면, 본 발명에 따른 정수기용 물탱크는, 물이 저장되는 본체(100)와, 본체(100)의 내부에 코팅된 광촉매(160)와, 광촉매(160)에 빛을 조사하는 램프(180)를 포함한다.1 and 2, the water tank for water purifier according to the present invention, the main body 100 is stored water, the photocatalyst 160 coated on the inside of the main body 100, and the light on the photocatalyst 160 It includes a lamp 180 to irradiate.
본체(100)에는 일측에 내부의 저장된 물이 배출되는 배출구(120)가 형성되고, 내벽면에는 빛에 의해 촉매반응을 일으키는 광촉매(160)가 일정 두께의 층으로 코팅된다.The main body 100 is formed with a discharge port 120 through which the stored water is discharged on one side, and an inner wall surface is coated with a layer having a predetermined thickness to cause a photocatalytic reaction by light.
상기 광촉매(160)로는 일반적으로 내산성, 내알칼리성 등이 우수하고 인체에 거의 무해한 물질인 이산화티타늄(TiO2)이 채용된다.As the photocatalyst 160, generally, titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), which is excellent in acid resistance and alkali resistance and is almost harmless to a human body, is employed.
한편, 본체(100)의 상부에는 개방된 상면을 개폐할 수 있도록 커버(200)가 구비된다.On the other hand, the upper portion of the main body 100 is provided with a cover 200 to open and close the open upper surface.
커버(200)의 일측에는 외부로부터 물이 유입될 수 있는 유입구(140)가 형성되고, 저면부에는 빛 에너지를 발생시키는 램프(180)가 설치된다.One side of the cover 200 is formed with an inlet 140 through which water can be introduced from the outside, and a lamp 180 for generating light energy is installed at the bottom.
이때, 상기 램프(180)로는 일반적인 형광 램프나 자외선을 발생시키는 UV(자외선) 램프가 채용될 수 있다.In this case, the lamp 180 may be a general fluorescent lamp or a UV (ultraviolet) lamp for generating ultraviolet rays.
상기와 같은 구성의 본 발명은 램프(180)로부터 발생하는 빛이 본체(100) 내벽면에 코팅된 광촉매(160)에 조사됨에 따라, 광촉매(160)는 분자내 전자구조에 의해 상기 빛 에너지를 받아 정공과 전자를 발생하게 된다.According to the present invention having the above configuration, as the light emitted from the lamp 180 is irradiated to the photocatalyst 160 coated on the inner wall of the main body 100, the photocatalyst 160 absorbs the light energy by the intramolecular electronic structure. It will generate holes and electrons.
이렇게 발생된 전자의 지속적인 이동에 의해 물속에 존재하는 유기물인 박테리아와 큰 접촉성을 가지며 강력한 산화 또는 환원작용으로 분해시킬 수 있기 때문에 한층 높은 살균력을 가지며 물 속 세균을 분해할 수 있는 것이다.As a result of the continuous movement of electrons generated in this way, it has great contact with bacteria, which are organic substances present in water, and can be decomposed by strong oxidation or reduction, thus having higher sterilizing power and decomposing bacteria in water.
상술한 바와 같이, 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예를 참조하여 설명하였지만, 해당기술분야의 숙련된 당업자는 하기의 특허청구범위에 기재된 본 발명의 사상 및 영역으로부터 벗어나지 않는 범위 내에서 본 발명을 다양하게 수정 또는 변형하여 실시할 수 있다.As described above, although described with reference to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, those skilled in the art various modifications of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention described in the claims below. Or it may be modified.
이상에서 설명된 본 발명에 의하면, 물탱크 내벽에 광촉매인 이산화티타늄 코팅층을 형성하고, 이를 램프에서 발생하는 빛 에너지를 통해 활성화시켜 분해되도록 함으로써, 물 속 세균에 대한 항균 및 살균력을 향상시킬 수 있다.According to the present invention described above, by forming a titanium dioxide coating layer as a photocatalyst on the inner wall of the water tank and by activating it through the light energy generated from the lamp, it is possible to improve the antibacterial and bactericidal power against bacteria in the water. .
