Description

De-icing magnetization hexagon water purifier {Hexagonal water ice manufacturer}

The present invention relates to an ice making hexagonal water purifier.

Cold and hot water purifiers used in homes and restaurants are equipped with a cooling device and a heating device to directly supply cold or hot water on the spot. The chiller contacts the water supplied from the outside with the evaporator to instantly cool the water, and the heater heats the water to a set temperature using a heater.

In addition, the so-called ice water purifier, which is widely used in recent years, has a function of supplying ice as if the ice is frozen inside the water purifier to supply cold water or hot water. In such an ice water purifier, an evaporator 10 of the type shown in FIG. 1 is incorporated.

1 is a view showing a part of the internal parts of the conventional ice water purifier, Figure 2 is a view showing for explaining the problem of the ice water purifier shown in FIG.

Inside the conventional ice water purifier, a U-shaped evaporator 10 shown in FIG. 1 and an electric heater 20 are fixed to the upper portion of the evaporator 10 by an interview.

Referring to FIG. 1, the evaporator 10 includes a U-shaped tube 14 which is bent and U-shaped and horizontally arranged, and a plurality of ice-making tubes which are integrally connected to a lower portion of the U-shaped tube 14 and extend downward. 16). The ice making tube 16 is in internal communication with the U-shaped tube 14.

The ice making tube 16 is a portion that is immersed in water and transmits cold air to the surrounding water. That is, the ice making tube 16 is placed below the water surface of the water supply container so that water around the ice making tube 16 can receive cold air from the ice making tube 16.

In addition, a capillary tube 18 is connected to one end of the U-shaped tube 14, and a refrigerant circulation tube 19 is connected to the other end thereof. The capillary tube 18 serves as an expansion valve. Therefore, the refrigerant is discharged from the capillary tube 18 into the inside of the U-shaped tube 14 and evaporates to take away the surrounding heat, and then passes through the plurality of ice making tubes 16 and exits to the opposite refrigerant circulation tube 19.

Since the low-temperature refrigerant passes through the ice making tube 16 as described above, when the temperature of the ice making tube 16 falls below the freezing point of water, ice (A) around the ice making tube 16 as shown in FIG. ) Is generated. The thickness or size of the ice A is determined by adjusting the ice making time. Reference numeral w is not frozen but is only cooled water.

On the other hand, if the ice (A) is produced around the ice making tube 16 through the above process, in order to supply the ice (A) to the outside of the water purifier, the ice (A) must be separated from the ice making tube (16). The ice (A) generated in the ice making tube 16 does not fall well even if it stays in place even if water (w) is removed.

In order to separate the ice (A) from the ice making tube 16, the electric heater 20 was used in the conventional ice water purifier. The heater 20 is a heating element that generates heat by electric power applied from the outside, the heating tube 22 in close contact with the upper portion of the U-shaped tube, the external power to the resistance wire (not shown) inside the heating tube 22 It consists of a power line 24 for supplying.

Accordingly, when electricity is applied to the power line 24, the heat generating tube 22 is heated, and the heat of the heat generating tube 22 passes through the U-shaped tube 14 to reach the ice making tube 16. The surface of the ice making tube 16 is heated by heat transmitted from the heater 20. Therefore, the surface attached to the ice making tube 16 of the ice attached to the ice making tube 16 is melted, and ice (A) falls downward by gravity.

However, the conventional ice water purifier provided with the heater 20 has a disadvantage in that electricity is used to separate the ice A from the evaporator 10. It is not safe to embed appliances that use electricity inside a water purifier that supplies water, and in some cases short circuits can lead to personal accidents.

In addition, the above-described heating method has a disadvantage in that heat of the heat generating tube 22 passes through the U-shaped tube 14 to reach the ice making tube 16, so that the heat loss is very severe. That is, since a substantial portion of the heat generated in the heat generating tube 22 must pass through the U-shaped tube 14 in a cold state while moving to the ice making tube 16, the amount of heat energy reaching the ice making tube 16 starts. It is very small compared to the thermal energy when doing, and thermal efficiency is not good. In addition to this, the cost of operating an ice water purifier is expensive because electricity is used to heat the heating tube 22.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and because it uses the heat of the refrigerant in the circulation rather than using electricity to separate the ice attached to the evaporator, so that the safety and the separation of the ice is fast, and also open to the top The cover is provided, which is easy to use, and also uses heat of a high temperature refrigerant passing through the compressor to heat water for supplying hot water, and thus an object of the present invention is to provide an ice-making magnetized hexagonal water purifier having a low power consumption.

FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view showing a portion (hereinafter, an ice making unit) where ice is formed in the upper end of the casing 33 in the hexagonal water purifier 31 shown in FIG. 3.

As shown, the inner upper end of the casing 33 is provided with an ice making space 43 and the cold water and ice receiving portion 39. The ice making space 43 and the cold water and ice accommodating part 39 are partitioned by partition walls 41. The cold water and the ice accommodating part 39 is a space where the bottom thereof is deeper than the ice making space 43, and the ice and the cooling water (water-cold water cock 38b in a state in which it is not changed into ice) are formed in the ice making space 43. Accept as cold water).

Reference numeral 41a is a passage through which water overflowed or spilled from the rotating container 45 passes to the cold water and the ice accommodating part 39.

The ice making unit is installed to be adjustable in the lower portion of the evaporator 49 constituting the cooling unit 87, the rotary container receiving the water supplied to the ice making space 43 through the water supply port 47 ( 45). The water inlet 47 is a hole through which the water passed through the hose 89a is discharged.

The rotating container 45 is a plastic container open to the upper portion and is powered by a motor (not shown) through the rotating shaft 45a. The rotary shaft 45a is repeatedly reciprocated in a predetermined angle range in the direction of arrow a and the opposite direction by the driving of the motor. The state of FIGS. 9 and 10 is repeated by the rotation shaft 45a.

In addition, hinges 45b are formed at both sides of the outer surface facing the partition 41 of the rotating container 45, and the ice transfer plate 46 is linked to the hinge 45b. The ice transfer plate 46 accommodates the hinge 45b in the fitting portion 46a as a rectangular plate, and can be rotated up and down while being supported by the hinge 45b.

In addition, support protrusions 45c are formed between the hinges 45b. The support protrusion 45c serves to support the ice transfer plate 46. The ice transfer plate 46 is supported such that its end extends to the upper end of the partition wall 41 as shown in FIG. 9 while being supported by the support protrusion 45c.

More detailed functions of the rotating container 45 and the ice transfer plate 46 will be described again with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11.

On the other hand, the evaporator 49 is disposed on the rotary container 45. The evaporator is a portion of the cooling unit 87 and is disposed above the ice making space 43 to transfer cold air to water received in the rotating container 45. The water directly contacting the evaporator 49 of the water contained in the rotary container 45 is phase-changed and frozen, and the remaining portion is cooled.

The evaporator 49, a U-shaped tube 49a which is horizontally bent on an upper portion of the rotating container 45 bent in a U-shape and is horizontally formed, and a plurality of U-tubes 49a are integrally formed and extended downwardly. It consists of the ice-making pipe 49b. In particular, the ice making tube 49b cools the water by providing cold air around the lower portion of the water contained in the rotating container 45. In particular, the ice A is generated from the surface of the ice making tube 49b and gradually grows. The size of the ice A is controlled by the time for passing the refrigerant through the evaporator 49.

The U-shaped tube 49a and the ice making tube 49b communicate with each other inside. Therefore, the refrigerant flowing into one end of the U-shaped tube 49a through the capillary tube 18 moves along the U-shaped tube 49a and passes through all the ice making tubes 49b, and then exits to the opposite refrigerant circulating tube 19. Return to the compressor (63). Of course, the ice making tube 49b is cooled while the refrigerant passes through the ice making tube 49b.

On the other hand, a hot gas supply tube 51 is connected to one end of the U-shaped tube 49a. The hot gas supply tube 51 is a passage for temporarily supplying the refrigerant heated through the compressor 63 to the evaporator 49. The high temperature refrigerant introduced into the evaporator 49 through the hot gas supply tube 51 heats the evaporator 49 to slightly dissolve the ice A attached to the ice making tube 49b, thereby allowing the ice A to self-weight. To fall. This will be described later.

7 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the internal structure of the evaporator shown in FIG. 6, and FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line z-z of FIG.

As shown, a plurality of ice making pipes 49b are arranged at a predetermined interval under the U-shaped pipe 49a, and the guide plate 49c is fixed inside the ice making pipe 49b. The induction plate 49c serves to guide the refrigerant so that the refrigerant exits the lower end of the ice making tube 49b.

On the other hand, the heat-transfer fin 49d is provided in the inner peripheral surface of each ice-making pipe 49b. The heat transfer fin 49d is a heat transfer path provided to more efficiently transfer heat of the refrigerant passing through the ice making tube 49b to the ice making tube 49b. The shape of the heat transfer fin 49d can be changed as desired.

9 to 11 are views for explaining the operation of the ice making unit, Figure 9 is a view immediately after the ice (A) is made, Figure 10 is a rotating container 45 spills the cooled water and the ice making pipe It looks like the ice was removed from 49b. In addition, FIG. 10 illustrates a state in which the ice A is transferred to the cold water and the ice accommodating part 39 using the ice transfer plate 46.

In particular, the ice transfer plate 46 is hinged to the side of the rotating container 45 and supported by the support protrusion 45c on the other hand, as shown in Figure 10 the rotating container in the rotating container 45 is upside down Located in the lower portion of 45, when the rotary container 45 is restored to the initial position to move up to the upper and spread the ice scattered on the bottom of the ice making space 43 to move the cold water and ice receiving portion (39) do.

First, referring to FIG. 9, it can be seen that ice A is formed around the ice making tube 49b in a state where water is filled in the rotating container 45. The ice (A) is freezing the water received from the cold air at a temperature lower than the freezing point of the water provided from the ice making tube (49b).

In particular, since the ice A is generated and grown from the surface of the ice making tube 49b, it is attached to the surface of the ice making tube 49b. In addition, microscopically, water molecules at the interface between the ice (A) and the water (w) are continuously phase-changed to continue the change to ice. That is, the size of the ice A is gradually increased.

In any case, if the ice A has grown to a desired size, the capillary 18 is blocked to temporarily stop the operation of the evaporator 49, and the rotating container 45 is rotated in the direction of the arrow a to be reversed. When the rotating container 45 is inverted as described above, the cooling water inside the rotating container 45 is poured sideways to move to the cold water and the ice accommodating part 39 through the passage 41a of the partition 41. In contrast, ice A is suspended on the ice making tube 49b.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 10, the ice making tube 49b is heated through the hot gas supply tube 51.

As shown in Fig. 10, when the ice making tube 49b is heated, the surface of the ice A adhered to the surface of the ice making tube 49b is slightly melted, so that the ice A is allowed to As a result, it is pulled out of the ice making tube 49b and dropped to the lower part.

The ice (A) dropped to the lower as described above is hit by the ice transfer plate 46 and waits in a state dispersed in the bottom of the ice making space (43).

Subsequently, when the rotary container 45 is rotated in the direction of arrow b to restore the initial position, the ice transfer plate 46 rolls up the ice A and sends it out over the partition 41.

If the rotary container 45 is restored to the initial position as described above, water is newly supplied through the water inlet 47. The water supplied through the water inlet 47 stops after filling the rotary container 45. To this end, the water level sensor (not shown) should be installed inside the rotating container 45, of course.

If water is completely filled in the rotating container 45, the capillary 18 is opened again to repeat the operation of causing the evaporator 49 to cool the water and generate ice at the same time.

12 is a view for explaining the overall operating mechanism of the above-mentioned ice-making magnetized hexagonal water purifier.

The same reference numerals as the above reference numerals denote the same members having the same function.

As described above, the ice making magnetization hexagonal water purifier 31 according to the present embodiment has a hot gas supply unit for removing the ice A suspended from the ice making tube 49b of the evaporator 49 from the ice making tube 49b. Applied.

The hot gas supply unit temporarily supplies the high temperature and high pressure refrigerant passing through the compressor 63 to the evaporator 49 to heat the evaporator 49, and connects the first tank 59 to the condenser 65. And a hot gas supply tube 51 branched from the refrigerant circulation pipe 91 and connected to the evaporator 49, and a valve 52 provided in the hot gas supply tube 51 to control the flow of hot gas. .

The valve 52 is briefly opened and then closed to remove the ice A from the ice making tube 49b. When the valve 52 is opened, the high temperature refrigerant directed to the condenser 65 moves to the evaporator 49 through the hot gas supply tube 51 to heat the ice making tube 49b. When the ice making tube 49b is heated by hot gas, that is, a refrigerant, the interface of the ice A attached to the ice making tube 49b is melted and separated from the ice making tube 49b.

In addition, as illustrated, the compressor 63, the condenser 65, the capillary tube 18, and the evaporator 49 are connected to the refrigerant circulation tube 91 to form the cooling unit 87. Reference numeral 77 denotes a liquid separator, and reference numeral 81 denotes a dryer.

In addition, a first tank 59 is positioned between the compressor 63 and the condenser 65. The first tank 59 is a reservoir for receiving water supplied from the outside and has a heat exchange tube 60 therein. The heat exchange tube 60 is a passage through which the high temperature and high pressure refrigerant passed through the compressor 63 passes through the heat exchanged with the water contained in the first tank 59 to maintain the water at about 40 ° C.

In addition, the first tank 59 and the second tank 61 are connected through a check valve 75. The water stored in the first tank 59 moves to the second tank 61 and is heated by the band heater 61a provided in the second tank 61. Water heated in the second tank 61 is supplied to the outside through the hot water cock 38a.

On the other hand, the UV sterilizer 79 is provided at the top of the evaporator 49. The UV sterilizer 79 continuously sterilizes the water contained in the rotary container 45 to prevent secondary pollution.

As a result, the ice making magnetization hexagonal water purifier 31 according to the present embodiment configured as described above cools and defrosts the feed water supplied from the outside in a purified and hexagonal state. In particular, a refrigerant is used instead of electricity to separate the ice from the evaporator, and a high temperature and high pressure refrigerant passing through the compressor is used to heat the water, so power consumption is small and safe.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
