Description

[0001] WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM HAVING A TEMPERATURE CONTROL [0002]

The present invention relates to a water supply system having a temperature control function, and more particularly, to a water supply system having a temperature control function for providing a cleaning temperature in accordance with a cleaning water and discharging water having the temperature, .

In the modern world, a vegetarian diet for health is attracting attention as a healthy diet, and people's interest in the well-being diet is increasing. However, a vegetarian diet can be adversely affected.

In the case of vegetables and fruits, pesticides are forced to be pestilized due to insect pests or weeds during farming. In the case of vegetables, pesticides reach the leaves directly. Therefore, the pesticide residues remain in the pesticide. I can get disease.

However, in order to prevent this, pesticide-free natural agriculture has been developed to provide users with non-organic vegetables and fruits such as foodstuffs, but the price is so high that they are troublesome to purchase every day.

As a result, people are consuming more and more of the vegetables sold on the market. Except for the root vegetables, the leafy vegetables and fruits are desired to be washed and cleaned by the concern of residual pesticides.

In recent years, a 50 - degree cleaning method has become popular. 50 Washing is literally washing vegetables in 50 water. When we half bath, we usually have about 39 baths and a slightly hotter bath temperature of about 42-45. 50 is a warm temperature when you put your hand. Usually, light vegetables and fruits should be washed in cool, cold water, so it is likely to be fresh. But it can rather raise the condition of vegetables.

The heat shock generated by washing with 50% water absorbs moisture in the cells of the vegetable. Vegetables gradually lose moisture as time passes from the moment they are harvested. However, since the cells are in a living state, the pores are reduced to prevent evaporation of water. In this state, when the hot water touches, the pores are opened due to thermal shock and absorb moisture. The fiber, protein and starch of vegetables absorb the lost moisture in a short time, increasing the moisture by 30 ~ 40%.

It is because vegetable cells are directly involved in activating vegetables. When the water is filled up, the pores are closed again to suppress the evaporation. Through this process, the active ingredients and the taste of the vegetables are not released to the outside, but are in a condition to replenish water only.

Amylase fermentation in vegetables is most active at 50C, increasing the sweetness. It also improves the elasticity of the pectin bond that binds the cells of the vegetables. This will make the vegetable texture better.

It is obvious that it is more effective when you wash dishes in hot water than when you usually wash dishes in cold water. Washing with 50 C of water can evaporate the pollutants and oxidants that are attached to the surface as well as the unique biomass and volatile matter of the vegetable. Contaminants on foodstuffs fall better than just washing in water. In particular, meat and fish contact with the air to remove oxidized components and fat content, and the blood is lost, so the elimination of the taste and the fresh taste are revived and the natural moisture is restored and the texture becomes smooth. Also, contamination sources such as bitter taste, bitter taste, and arine taste can be washed. The root causes of bad taste and incense are all eliminated, and relatively good taste and flavor are increased.

It is expected that this method can be applied to all kinds of food such as meat, fish, as well as silk vegetables.

However, in order to clean the foodstuffs as described above, the water is first boiled, mixed with cold water at a predetermined ratio, and then the temperature information is checked through the thermometer and the washing is performed. In addition, when the temperature is lowered during the washing, since hot water is further added and washing is performed, there is a problem that it is very inconvenient and takes a long time.

However, a conventional technique for solving this is disclosed in Patent Registration No. 10-0838489.

The present invention relates to a digital faucet and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to a digital faucet and a control method thereof, in which a parameter of at least one of an outlet port through which water is discharged through an outlet pipe, And a valve for adjusting the supply amount of hot water and cold water according to the information set in the setting unit.

However, in the above conventional art, water is supplied through a water pipe in the case of a boiler in a home or an apartment in which heating is performed by central heating. In the case where the boiler is not operated according to the season, There is a problem in that water may not be discharged to the outside.

Further, there is a problem that, when the user sets and uses the temperature, cleaning is performed at an arbitrary temperature set by the user at the time of cleaning by the user.

Also, there was an inconvenience because an appropriate cleaning method for the foodstuff was not provided.
