Description
The present invention relates to a water purifier provided with a circulating sterilization system for sequentially sterilizing a circulation duct, a water intake duct, and a water storage tank with a temperature rising while water discharged from a water storage tank passes through a heating device.
Recently, the use of water purifiers that provide cold or hot water in homes or offices is increasing. Such a common water purifier is periodically inspected to confirm whether it is suitable for drinking for a certain period of time. Particularly, as users' interest in the safety of drinking water supplied from a water purifier has increased, it has become an important task to provide a water purifier incorporating a sterilizing function in the market.
The raw water stored in the water storage unit installed in the water purifier is already subjected to filtration through the plurality of filter units. However, if a very small amount of foreign matter such as bacteria remains in the filtered water, Water inside the compartment may be contaminated.
In order to solve such a problem, a sterilizing water purifier has been developed in which a sterilizing liquid such as chlorine oxide is injected into a water reservoir for automatically sterilizing a water storage portion of a water purifier and a system for draining the sterilized water is added. However, such a sterilizing water purifier requires a separate drain pump separately for draining the water inside the water storage unit, which causes a problem that the manufacturing cost increases greatly. Further, even if the sterilization of the water reservoir is performed, there is a further problem in that an additional sterilization apparatus is required near the discharge cock where the water is discharged to the outside.
Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2010-0136797 discloses an apparatus for sterilizing water to be transferred to the discharge cock, in which a silver-ion filter unit using silver powder is mounted inside the discharge cock, The contents of a cold / hot water heater capable of enhancing the effect are disclosed. However, according to the above-mentioned prior art, since the system for sterilization is not provided in the moving pipe of the raw water disposed inside the cold / hot water heater, the sterilization problem of the raw water can not be fundamentally solved and the manufacturing process of the silver filter is added. There was a problem that the cost became complicated.
The present invention has been developed in order to overcome the limitations and problems of the prior art as described above. Specifically, the water stored in the water storage tank rises along the circulation duct provided with the heating device, The internal construction of the water purifier and the sterilization of the internal piping.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a water circulation system comprising: a water storage tank for storing water; an inflow circulation tube through which water stored in the water storage tank flows; a discharge circulation tube extending in a direction parallel to the extending direction of the inflow circulation tube; A circulation duct including a bending circulation pipe connected to one side of the inflow circulation pipe and one side of the discharge circulation pipe and bent to have a predetermined curvature and a circulation duct connected to the water reservoir at one side and to the discharge cock at the other side, Wherein the discharge circulation pipe is provided with a projection disposed in an inner space of the water intake pipe and protruding inward from an outer surface of the water intake pipe, And a guide hole for guiding the water to be moved toward the circulation sterilization system. A counterflow water purifier is provided.
According to the present invention, since the water stored in the water storage tank is heated to a high temperature while passing through a discharge circulation line equipped with a heating device, the inner structure of the water purifier and the internal pipe can be efficiently sterilized by circulation of the hot water .
Further, since the guide hole for guiding the movement of water in the direction of the discharge cock is formed at one side of the discharge circulation duct, sterilization can be smoothly performed to the end of the discharge cock.
In addition, the water heated by the heating device sequentially passes through the circulation duct, the water intake duct, and the water storage tank, and sterilizes the respective constitutions, so that it is possible to supply completely sterilized water to the user.
