A water outlet pipe may be connected to the cold water tank so that the cold water can be taken out. In the cold water tank, the water is substantially circulated and stagnant. Therefore, when cold water is produced in the cold water tank, the production efficiency of cold water may be lowered. Further, the generation time of the cold water can be prolonged. Further, since the temperature of the cold water is locally differently formed in the lower part of the cold water tank, it may be difficult to extract cold water of a uniform temperature.

An embodiment of the present invention is to provide a cold water storage device of a water treatment apparatus capable of improving the efficiency of generating cold water.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram showing a cold water storage device of a water treatment apparatus according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the cold water storage device of the water treatment apparatus may include a tank body 110, a water inlet pipe 130, a water outlet pipe 140, and a stirrer 150.

Inside the tank body 110, a cooling device 120 may be disposed to cool water. The cooling device 120 may be an evaporator that cools water by a refrigerant. The cooling device 120 may be formed in a spiral shape on the lower side of the cold water tank. The cooling device 120 can be applied in various forms as long as the water is cooled, for example, a form in which one side is cooled and another side is heated when a power source is applied.

And a partition wall 115 arranged to partition the inside of the tank body 110 into an upper space and a lower space. The partition wall 115 may delay the mixing of water in the upper space of the tank body 110 and water in the lower space. Therefore, relatively low-temperature cold water can be distributed to the lower side of the tank body 110. Further, the tank body 110 may be configured to allow cold water having a relatively low temperature to be taken out.

A hole may be formed in the partition wall 115 to allow water supplied from the water inlet pipe 130 to pass therethrough. In addition, the partition wall 115 can support the agitator 150.

The water inlet pipe 130 may be connected to the tank body 110 to supply water to the tank body 110. At this time, the water inlet pipe 130 may be connected to the upper side of the tank body 110. Therefore, water can be introduced to the upper side of the tank body 110 and then dropped down.

The water pipe 140 is connected to the tank body 110 to discharge the cold water generated in the tank body 110. The water pipe 140 may be connected to a cold water coke (not shown).

The lower end of the water pipe 140 may be disposed below the tank body 110. Relatively cold water may be distributed to the lower side of the tank body 110 and cold water of a relatively high temperature may be distributed to the upper side of the tank body 110. Since the lower end of the water outlet pipe 140 is disposed below the tank body 110, cold water of relatively low temperature can be taken out through the water outlet pipe 140.

The stirrer 150 may be disposed inside the tank body 110. The stirrer 150 may stir water in the tank body 110 as it is rotated by the water supplied from the water inlet pipe 130. The stirrer 150 may be of various forms as long as it is rotated by the water pressure of the water discharged from the water inlet pipe 130 to stir the water in the tank sea 110. In the following, an embodiment of the stirrer 150 will be described.

The stirrer 150 may include an impeller 151, a rotating shaft 153, and a stirring fan 155.

The impeller 151 may be disposed in the discharge part of the water inlet pipe 130 inside the tank body 110. The impeller 151 may be rotated by the water pressure of the water discharged from the water inlet pipe 130. The impeller 151 may be disposed above the tank body 110 so as to correspond to the discharge portion of the water inlet pipe 130. The impeller 151 may be mounted on the upper side of the tank body 110 by an upper support 152. The impeller 151 may include a plurality of plate-shaped blades arranged radially.

The rotating shaft 153 may be connected to the impeller 151. The rotation shaft 153 may be formed in a rod shape. The impeller 151 may be coupled to an upper portion of the rotating shaft 153 and rotated together with the rotating shaft 153. The rotation shaft 153 may be disposed substantially vertically in the vertical direction. In addition, the rotation shaft 153 may be installed to pass through the partition wall 115.

The stirring fan 155 may be connected to a lower portion of the rotating shaft 153. As the stirring fan 155 rotates together with the rotating shaft 153, the cold water of the tank body 110 can be stirred. The stirring fan 155 is disposed below the tank body 110 to circulate and stir the cold water smoothly. The stirring fan 155 may be supported by the lower support 156. The stirring fan 155 can be rotated by the rotational force transmitted by the impeller 151 and the rotating shaft 153. Such a stirring fan 155 may include a plurality of plate-like blades arranged in a radial direction.

The stirring fan 155 may be installed to form a water stream in the circumferential direction around the rotating shaft 153. Therefore, the stirring fan 155 can circulate the water smoothly in the lower part of the tank body 110. In addition, since the temperature of the cold water in the tank body 110 can be relatively uniform, the user can take cold water of a uniform temperature.

Since the partition wall 115 relatively restricts the circulation of water in the vertical direction of the tank body 110, the stirring fan 155 can circulate water mainly in the lower space of the tank body 110 have. Accordingly, since the space in which the cold water is generated in the tank body 110 is substantially reduced, the generation rate of the cold water can be improved.

The operation of the cold water storage device of the water treatment apparatus according to the present invention will be described.

Water may be supplied to the tank body 110 through the water inlet pipe 130. Water may be supplied to the tank body 110 when cold water is produced. At this time, the cooling device 120 can produce cold water.

The impeller 151 may be rotated by the water pressure of the water discharged from the water inlet pipe 130. As the impeller 151 is rotated, the rotation shaft 153 and the stirring fan 155 may be rotated together.

The stirring fan 155 stirs the water in the tank body 110. At this time, the partition wall 115 separates the lower space and the upper space of the tank body 110, and the stirring fan 155 is disposed in the lower space of the tank body 110. Accordingly, since the space in which the cold water is substantially generated in the tank body 110 can be reduced, the generation rate of the cold water can be increased and the cooling temperature of the cold water can be made uniform.

The stirring fan 155 circulates the water in the tank body 110 while the cold water is being produced in the tank body 110 so that the water in the tank body 110 is evenly exchanged with the cooling device 120 . Therefore, the generation speed of the cold water can be increased, and the cold water can be quickly cooled to the target temperature. Further, cold water can be generated quickly when the user takes out the cold water. In addition, the capacity of the tank body 110 and the cooling device 120 can be relatively reduced. In addition, even if the amount of cold water used temporarily increases, it can be resiliently coped with.

Since the stirrer 150 circulates the water in the tank body 110 using the water supplied by the water inlet pipe 130, it is possible to improve the production efficiency of the cold water without additional power.

In addition, since the lower end of the water pipe 140 is disposed below the tank body 110, relatively cold water can be taken out from the tank body 110. In addition, since the cold water having a uniform temperature is positioned below the tank body 110, the temperature at which the cold water is taken out can be uniform.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
