At this time, if the ice stored in the ice reservoir 122 is in an iced state, and the temperature of the cold water stored in the cold water tank 110 is lower than the reference value, the circulation / intake pump 206 is not operated. At the same time the circulation / intake pump 206 is also operated.

앞서 설명한 제빙기능을 구비한 냉온수 공급기에 의하면 냉수탱크(110)에 저장된 냉수가 자체하중에 의해서가 아니라 순환/취수펌프(206)에 의해서 사용자에게 공급된다. 따라서, 냉수탱크의 수위와 무관하게 사용자에게 공급되는 냉수의 양이 일정하게 되고, 냉수탱크(110)가 냉수취출콕(미도시)보다 상부에 위치할 필요가 없다.According to the cold / hot water supplier having the ice making function described above, the cold water stored in the cold water tank 110 is supplied to the user by the circulation / intake pump 206 instead of the self load. Therefore, the amount of cold water supplied to the user becomes constant regardless of the level of the cold water tank, and the cold water tank 110 does not need to be located above the cold water extraction cock (not shown).

냉수탱크(110)가 냉수취출콕보다 하부에 위치하는 경우 첫째, 무게중심이 종래에 비해 하부로 이동하기 때문에 냉온수 공급기의 안전성이 향상되고, 둘째, 냉 수탱크(110)와 정수필터(102) 사이에 위치하는 케이스(140) 내부 공간(142)의 활용률이 향상되기 때문에 냉온수 공급기를 종래에 비해 더욱 작게 제작할 수 있다.When the cold water tank 110 is located below the cold water extraction cock First, since the center of gravity is moved to the lower than the prior art, the safety of the cold and hot water supply is improved, and second, the cold water tank 110 and the water filter 102 Since the utilization rate of the inner space 142 of the case 140 positioned between the two is improved, the cold / hot water supply unit may be made smaller than in the related art.

앞서서는, 제빙기능을 구비한 냉온수기 공급기 중 원수를 정수하는 필터가 구비된 정수기만을 예로 들어 설명하였으나, 본 고안의 기술적 사상은 상기 정수기뿐만 아니라 공급되는 원수를 정화하는 기능을 구비하지 않고 별도로 공급되는 음용수를 냉수나 온수로 만들어 공급하는 냉온수기에도 적용될 수 있다.In the above, only the water purifier with a filter for purifying the raw water of the cold and hot water supply with a deicing function has been described as an example, the technical idea of the present invention is not supplied with a water purifier as well as a separate supply without a function for purifying the supplied raw water It can also be applied to cold and hot water machines that supply drinking water from cold or hot water.

본 고안에 의하면, 냉온수 공급기의 안전성이 향상되고, 종래에 비해 냉온수 공급기를 더욱 작게 제작할 수 있으며, 냉수탱크에 저장된 냉수의 수위와 무관하게 균일한 양의 냉수를 사용자에게 공급할 수 있는 효과가 발생한다.According to the present invention, the safety of the cold and hot water supply is improved, the cold and hot water supply can be made smaller than before, and the effect of supplying a uniform amount of cold water to the user regardless of the level of the cold water stored in the cold water tank is generated. .
