Description

{Cool / Hot water purifier with coffee maker}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cold / warm water purifier serving as a coffee maker. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cold / warm water purifier combined with a coffee maker capable of stably functioning as a coffee maker by increasing the amount of hot water produced in a space restricted by cold /

Generally, a water purifier is a device for supplying purified water purified in a state in which water can be supplied through a plurality of filters. Various additional devices are installed in the water purifier according to user's preference and demand. A cold water tank in which cold water is supplied from a water purifier and a hot water tank in which a hot water is supplied and an additional device capable of discharging hot water is installed is widely used.

The cold / hot water purifier is provided to purify the supplied water and then supply the purified water to the cold water tank and the heating water tank, respectively, to cool and heat the hot water to a set temperature, and to allow the user to selectively use cold water or hot water.

A common cold / hot water purifier is a filter that is connected to a water line to purify water, a water storage tank in which purified water is stored in the filter, a cooling water tank which is connected to the water storage tank to cool purified water in a stored state, A heating water tank connected to the purified water and heating the water to a predetermined temperature, a cold water outlet portion connected to the cooling water tank to control the water flow rate of the cooled water and controlling the water flow rate of the heated water connected to the heating water tank, And a hot water outlet portion through which the hot water is discharged.

As described above, the cold / hot water purifier is usually provided with a water reservoir, a cold water reservoir, and a hot water reservoir, each of which is provided with a water reservoir for distributing supply amounts of purified water, hot water, and cold water, The structure of the water tank is complicated, and each water tank occupies its own space by the amount of storage, so that the size of the water purifier is increased in order to increase the amount of hot water and cold water.

In particular, when coffee is consumed mainly in an office or a home, hot water heated to a preset temperature or higher should be supplied as hot water mixed with powdered or liquid coffee raw material is consumed. Thus, the coffee raw material is put in a cup to be stored, and the coffee raw material is diluted with hot water using hot water of a cold / warm water purifier to prepare coffee and drink it.

Therefore, the hot water generated by the heating of the purified water requires a long time for heating, and in order to maintain the continuous temperature, it is necessary to secure more water than the water used. Therefore, in order to increase the water amount according to the amount of hot water, Have been used.

However, in the conventional cold / warm water purifier, when the size of the hot water tank is increased in order to increase the amount of hot water, the time for heating is delayed due to the increase in the quantity of hot water. As the heated hot water is convected due to the temperature difference, Since the hot water which maintains the set temperature is only a fraction of the size in the water tank, the volume of the hot water is increased due to the increase of the capacity, and accordingly, the volume of the hot water tank is increased there was.

In the heating water tank in which hot water of a predetermined temperature is generated, a low-temperature purified water is supplied to lower the temperature of the hot water heated inside, and as the temperature is lowered due to a rapid convection phenomenon depending on the temperature difference, It is difficult to maintain the same.

When the temperature at which the hot water comes out is different from the temperature at which the hot water coming out is different due to the small quantity of hot water at a set temperature, There is a difference in the degree of dilution, so that it takes a long time to mix with a tool even in the case of diluting the coffee raw material by receiving hot water only, and it is difficult to obtain high quality coffee.

In addition, since the increased amount of hot water increases due to the increase in the capacity of the heating water tank and the temperature of the hot water coming out does not maintain the set temperature, it is difficult to install a device for automatically diluting the coffee, .

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to solve the problems described above, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a water tank in which hot water is generated by cooling and heating purified water to outgo cold water and hot water, The present invention provides a cold / warm water purifier for both of the coffee maker that can increase the amount of water to be supplied while maintaining a predetermined temperature, improve the use efficiency, and maintain the temperature of the hot water constantly so that an additional device such as a coffee maker can be installed.
