Description
The present invention relates to an ionizer, in particular an ionizer having a water filter for recognizing the authenticity by recognizing the barcode ID of the water filter installed in the ionizer, and calculating the cumulative use time or cumulative cumulative flow rate to manage the life of the water filter It is about.
In recent years, water purifiers, as well as ionizers for generating alkaline water, have been widely used in homes or offices. In order to obtain clean and clean ion water provided by the water ionizer, it is necessary to use a genuine filter recommended by the water ionizer manufacturer and to replace the water filter according to the replacement cycle.
However, if you use the ionizer at home, you can use a cheap substitute instead of a genuine filter, or inadvertently forget to replace the water filter, so that the contaminated water filter may be used for a long time. Moreover, in most cases, the water filter is mounted inside the apparatus, and thus it is frequently used forgotten to replace the water filter.
In addition, instead of using a genuine water filter recommended by the ionizer manufacturer, if a similar counterfeit product is purchased at a low price in the market, the ionizer may be damaged and a water purification function may not be performed smoothly.
Accordingly, a first object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for authenticating a water filter, which can check the authenticity of the water filter installed in the ionizer.
A second object of the present invention, in addition to the first object, to provide a method and apparatus for managing the life of the purified water filter to monitor the life of the purified water filter used in the ionizer to maintain the clean water.
In order to achieve the above object, the ionizer according to the present invention having an electrolytic cell to produce alkaline water and acidic water is provided with a barcode reader, and when the purified water filter with a barcode is mounted on the ionizer, the ionizer recognizes the barcode and the water filter is It is characterized by checking whether or not genuine. In addition, the ionizer equipped with a water filter according to the present invention recognizes the barcode to identify the ID of the water filter, and calculate the cumulative use time or cumulative cumulative flow rate to monitor the life of the water filter.
The present invention reads a bar code attached to the exterior of the water filter in order to authenticate whether the water filter is genuine, determine whether the water filter is genuine using the barcode information, monitor the cumulative use time, the water filter is genuine When it is determined to be controlled to control the device to operate normally.
The barcode applied to the present invention may be a one-dimensional, two-dimensional, three-dimensional barcode can be used, a barcode reader for reading the barcode is mounted on the ionizer. In addition to the bar code method, the present invention can be extended and applied to an electronic tag (RFID), infrared communication, Bluetooth communication, etc. to check the ID of the corresponding water filter, and manages the manufacturing date, first installation date, use time, etc. of the water filter. Can be monitored.
When applying the water filter management technology according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the malfunction of the device due to the use of similar imitations or non-genuine, it is possible to prevent the life of the device is shortened due to the use of genuine. In addition, if the genuine water filter is not, it is possible to stop the operation of the ionizer, it is possible to prevent equipment failure and quality degradation in advance. In addition, the present invention has the effect of being able to manage and use the life of the water filter by monitoring the use time and the integrated flow rate of the water filter.
Hereinafter, with reference to Figs. 1 and 2 will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
1 is a view schematically showing the configuration of an ionizer according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the ionizer includes a
The
The water filter according to the present invention is characterized in that a barcode is attached to the exterior surface. The ionizer according to the present invention is provided with a barcode reader at a mounting portion for mounting the water filter, and when the water filter according to the present invention is mounted, a bar code printed on the outer surface of the water filter is read.
2A and 2B illustrate a state in which a
The ionizer body according to the present invention includes a microprocessor and a memory, and when the water filter is mounted, it reads the barcode attached to the water filter to recognize whether the water filter is a product of the company, and the ionizer operates only when it is determined as the ID of the product. The power supply unit can be controlled.
In addition, the ionizer equipped with the water filter according to the present invention recognizes the date on which the water filter is first installed and the date of manufacture, and stores them in the memory. After that, the ionizer equipped with the water filter according to the present invention monitors the use time and the accumulated flow rate of the water filter, as well as authenticity check.
As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the ionizer equipped with the purified
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, according to various embodiments of the present invention, when the life time of the water filter is completed, the ionizer may be programmed to not operate until the water filter is replaced.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the identification number (ID) of the water filter, the date of manufacture, the manufacturer's number, etc. are coded and stored in a barcode, and the barcode reader of the ionizer reads the barcode so that the purified water filter mounted on the ionizer is genuine. At the same time, it is possible to block and control the operation of the water purifier when the filter is not a genuine water filter.
In addition, if the identified purified water filter is genuine, the cumulative usage time or integrated flow rate of the filter may be recorded and confirmed to inform the replacement time of the purified water filter. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the barcode read by the barcode reader is processed by the microprocessor to decode and interpret various information of the water filter, and the water purifier operates normally only when a genuine water filter manufactured by an authorized manufacturer is installed. You can do that.
As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a digital signal processor (DSP) or a microcomputer integrated circuit with a program function, other filed programmable gate array (FPGA) logic, or the like may be used instead of the microprocessor.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the microprocessor may collect bar code information read by a bar code reader and store filter information such as date of manufacture, manufacturer, and use time in a memory. The microprocessor of the ionizer identifies whether the purified water filter is genuine based on the obtained filter information, determines whether to supply or block the supplied power to each block of the purified water according to the authenticity of the purified water filter, and The replacement time can be calculated and displayed, and an alarm can be sounded when the replacement cycle is over or the product is not genuine.
The foregoing has outlined rather broadly the features and technical advantages of the present invention in order to better understand the claims of the invention which will be described later. Additional features and advantages constituting the claims of the present invention will be described below. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the conception and specific embodiments of the invention disclosed can be readily used as a basis for designing or modifying other structures for carrying out similar purposes to the invention.
