Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, it will be described in detail an embodiment of the water purifier and the water purifier according to the present invention.

1 is a perspective view schematically showing a state in which a washing apparatus 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention is connected to a water purifier 200. Referring to FIG. 1, the embodiment 100 is located outside the water purifier. It is connected to the water purifier to clean the internal flow path of the water purifier. The washing apparatus 100 of the water purifier is connected to the flow path side of the water purifier 200 by a hose 10 or the like. In this case, the water purifier 200 is provided with a separate outlet exposed to the outside. Since the structure of such a water purifier is a general thing, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

2 and 3 illustrate the internal structure of the embodiment, referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the cleaning device 100 includes a case 110 and a raw water inflow port 121 provided at an outer side of the case. And a sterilizing water outlet port 126, a water purifier discharge water inlet port 131 and a discharge port 133 and sterilizing water generating module 140 provided on the outside of the case.

The raw water inflow port 121 is an inlet for directly receiving the raw water before the purified water flowing into the water purifier as a washing device. Alternatively, the purified water may be introduced into the water purifier and passed through a part of the filter before being stored in the water storage tank, and may be an inlet through the pipe to the washing apparatus. Therefore, the raw water inflow port 121 is connected to the source of supply of raw water directly through the pipe or downstream of the filter side of the water purifier through the pipe.

In some cases, the raw water inlet port 121 may be provided with a filter 160 for filtering the raw water. That is, when the above-mentioned raw water is directly received by the source of water supply, the raw water is first passed through the filter for water purification and then received through the raw water inflow port 121.

Such a filter may be used as a replacement for a conventional sediment filter. The sediment filter is applied to the nonwoven fabric to filter foreign matter and suspended solids contained in the raw water. Therefore, the foreign substances contained in the raw water in the present embodiment is filtered in advance, so as not to affect the electrolytic cell which is a sterilizing water generating module to be described later.

The filter 160 may be externally connected to the outside of the washing apparatus, and in this case, may be connected to an upstream side of the raw water inflow port 121. However, when the filter 160 is mounted in a built-in type, it is connected to the downstream side of the raw water inlet port 121.

The sterilizing water outlet port 126 is an outlet for discharging the sterilizing water generated for washing the water purifier in the washing apparatus from the washing apparatus. These sterilizing water is connected through the pipe to the reservoir or filter of the water purifier to clean the internal pipe and the reservoir of the water purifier.

A washing flow path 120 is formed between the raw water inlet port and the sterilizing water outlet port. In other words, the raw water introduced into the washing apparatus is converted into sterilized water to be a path supplied to the water purifier. Such a cleaning flow path is mechanically shown in FIG. 2, and a flow chart of the cleaning flow path is shown in FIG. 4.

2 and 4, the washing flow path is provided with a sterile water generation module 140. The sterilizing water generating module 140 generates sterilizing water by treating raw water moving through the washing channel. In this embodiment, the sterilizing water generating module is provided with an electrolytic cell capable of electrolyzing raw water.

In Figure 2 is shown except the mechanical devices corresponding to the discharge flow path to be described later to show only the cleaning flow path. The electrolyzer is provided on the side of the cleaning device in FIG. In the electrolytic cell, chlorine ions (Cl-) are electrolyzed to produce sterile water, which is a washing solution, and such sterile water includes hypochlorous acid (HClO) to sterilize bacteria in water. However, these concentrations are only 0.2 ~ 0.3ppm, so they are sterilized without affecting the human body.

As the sterilizing water generating module is provided in the washing apparatus, the washing liquid may be generated by electrolyzing water in which chlorine ions (Cl-) are dissolved in an electrolytic cell provided inside the washing apparatus, rather than newly injecting the washing liquid from the outside. The cost can be reduced and easy cleaning is possible. In addition, it is possible to continuously supply the cleaning liquid has the effect of enabling a rapid cleaning of the water purifier. Detailed internal mechanical configuration of the electrolyzer is well known, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

When the flow rate entering the sterilizing water generation module 140 is blocked by the flow valve 125, the washing is completed when the water purifier is completed, and thus, when the rinsing water, which is the cleaning liquid, is supplied to prevent the residual sterilized water from remaining in the pipe inside the water purifier. . This is related to the rinse channel 128, which will be described later. In addition, the flow valve 125 is adjusted to supply only a constant flow rate in accordance with the processing capacity of the electrolytic cell, which is a sterilization water generation module.

The rinsing water flow path 128 is used to supply the rinse water so that the sterilizing water, which is a washing liquid, does not remain in the pipe inside the water purifier. In other words, the supplied raw water is bypassed in the sterilization water passage and supplied to the water purifier. Accordingly, the rinsing water flow passage 128 is provided with an opening / closing valve 124. That is, when sterile water is supplied to the water purifier, the flow path is closed so that raw water is not supplied to the rinse water flow passage, and when the rinse water is supplied, the flow valve 125 is closed and the open / close valve is opened.

The discharge water inlet port 131 is an inlet for introducing the discharge water from the water purifier into the cleaning device in order to be discharged through the cleaning device when the sterilizing water supplied to the water purifier is used for washing and then discharged from the water purifier. In addition, it becomes an inlet of the discharge path for discharging the purified water remaining in the water purifier before washing. The discharge water inlet port 131 is connected to the discharge port (not shown) of the water purifier through a pipe.

The discharge port 133 is an outlet for discharging the discharged water introduced into the discharged water inflow port 131 to the outside of the washing apparatus, and is connected to the drainage port through a pipe.

A discharge passage 130 is formed between the discharge water inlet port 131 and the discharge port 133. The discharge passage 130 is mechanically shown in FIG. 3, and a flow chart of the discharge passage is shown in FIG. 5.

Accordingly, the discharge water to be discharged from the water purifier is forcibly supplied and drained through the washing device, and the cleaning liquid can be continuously supplied, thereby enabling the rapid cleaning of the water purifier.

A valve 132 may be provided upstream of the drain pump 150 in the discharge passage to open or close the discharge passage or adjust the flow rate.

Meanwhile, referring to FIGS. 2 to 5, the washing flow path and the discharge flow path are separate in the drawing. However, the flow paths are closely related. That is, the washing flow path and the discharge flow path are connected to each other through a water purifier. Therefore, it is necessary to quickly drain the water in the water purifier through the discharge passage, so that the supply of sterilization water through the washing passage is smooth.

In more detail, the purified water remaining in the water purifier is forcibly discharged to the outside by the drainage pump of the discharge flow path, and the raw water introduced into the washing apparatus is sterilized water including the washing liquid by the sterilizing water generating module and is introduced into the water purifier. . In this case, the rinse water flow passage is closed.

When the washing of the water purifier is completed, the sterilizing water generating module is stopped, the sterilizing water flow path is closed by the flow valve, and the rinse water flow path is opened so that the rinse water flows into the water purifier. At the same time, the sterilizing water used for washing remaining in the water purifier is forced out through the cleaning device through the discharge passage to the outside.

The structure of the above-described washing apparatus can wash the flow path and the water tank inside the water purifier by simple pipe connection outside the water purifier, and thus, the water purifier can be easily cleaned. In addition, it is not necessary to inject a new washing liquid, it is possible to generate a washing liquid by electrolyzing water in which chlorine ions (Cl-) are dissolved in an electrolytic cell provided inside the washing apparatus, thereby reducing the cost and easy washing. Done.
