Therefore, it is intended that the present invention covers the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents. In order to facilitate an understanding of the embodiments described below, in the reference numerals shown in the accompanying drawings, among the constituent elements which perform the same function in the respective embodiments, the related constituent elements are indicated by the same or an extension line number.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a sterilizing and cleaning kit for a water purifier according to an embodiment of the present invention connected to a water purifier, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram schematically illustrating an instantaneous hot water module.

1 and 2, a sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 for a water purifier and an instantaneous hot water module 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

1, a sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 for a water purifier according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an instantaneous hot water module 130, a sterilizing module 110, a washing water producing tank 140, and a pump 150 .

The instantaneous hot water module 130 heats the supplied raw water. The raw water supplied to the instantaneous hot water module 130 may be three constants by circulation, which will be described later.

The raw water or the washing water is heated to about 30 캜 to 70 캜 by the instantaneous hot water module 130. The heating is performed to smoothly mix the raw water with the cleaning material or to assist the cleaning of the water purifier 200 by the cleaning water. By the heated cleaning water, the sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 or the water purifier 200 may be damaged. Therefore, it is preferable that the washing water is heated to about the above temperature.

2, the instantaneous hot water module 130 includes a first flow temperature sensor 131, a controller 132, a second temperature sensor 133, and a heating unit 134, and the heating unit 134 Includes a heater 135 and a switching element 136.

The first flow rate temperature sensor 131 measures the flow rate and the temperature of the raw water to be supplied. The first wander temperature sensor 131 transmits information on the measured flow rate and temperature of the raw water to the controller 132.

The control unit 132 provides a heating signal to the heating unit 134 based on the information on the flow rate and the temperature of the raw water supplied from the first flow rate temperature sensor 131. Specifically, the control unit 132 controls the heating unit 134 to operate when the amount of raw water is measured in the first flow rate temperature sensor 131, and controls the degree of heating of the heating unit 134 according to the measured temperature .

The control unit 132 controls the heating degree of the heating unit 134 based on the temperature information measured by the second temperature sensor 133, which will be described later. That is, if the temperature measured by the second temperature sensor 133 is lower than a predetermined set temperature, the degree of heating of the heating unit 134 is controlled so as to raise the temperature of the raw water, And controls the degree of heating of the heating unit 134 so that the temperature of the raw water can be maintained.

The second temperature sensor 133 measures the temperature of the raw water heated through the heating unit 134 and transmits information about the measured temperature to the controller 132.

The heating unit 134 includes a switching device 134 and a heater 135. The switching device 134 controls the operation of the heater 135 based on a control signal of the controller 132 and the heater 135 directly heats the supplied raw water.

The heater 135 does not include a separate storage space where raw water can be stored, and the raw water is heated while passing through the heater 135. Although not shown, the heater 135 has a plurality of plates, which are made of a ceramic material, fixed to each other and form an oil pipe through which water can pass, and the heat applied to the plates allows water To heat the raw water.

However, when the raw water does not pass through the heater 135, the temperature of the internal air rapidly increases due to heating, and the inside of the heater 135 may be damaged due to the high temperature. Therefore, the control unit 132 controls the flow rate of the raw water to be supplied to the heater 135 based on the flow rate measurement information of the first flow rate temperature sensor 131, 135, so that damage to the inside of the heater 135 can be prevented.

The sterilization module 110 electrolyzes the raw water to generate sterilized water. The sterilized water includes hypochlorite ion in which the chlorine ion in the raw water is changed by the electrolysis. The sterilized water has a sterilizing function by the hypochlorite ion.

The sterilization module 110 includes a case and an anode and a cathode which are disposed apart from each other in the case. The case may be provided with a raw water inflow part for guiding the raw water to flow between the positive electrode and the negative electrode and a raw water outflow part for discharging the raw water passed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode.

The positive electrode and the negative electrode may be made of a material containing titanium (Ti). The anode may be coated with a platinum (Pb) group compound, for example, with ruthenium (Ru).

The washing water is stored in the washing water producing tank 140, and the washing water producing tank 140 mixes the heated raw water and the washing material to generate washing water.

The cleaning material may be a mixture of chitosan and carboxylic acid, and may be in liquid or powder form. In addition, the carboxylic acid may be at least one selected from the group consisting of citric acid, malic acid, ascorbic acid, and vinegar, which are food additives added to or mixed with food.

The chitosan has a property that water is not easily dissolved, but when the chitosan is mixed with a predetermined amount of carboxylic acid, the chitosan dissolves more easily. Further, since the reaction in which the chitosan is dissolved in water is an endothermic reaction, the chitosan has a property of being more soluble in warm water heated to a certain temperature or more.

In addition, since the carboxylic acid itself has a cleaning effect but does not dissolve in water in the form of powder, it is necessary not only to mix additional chemicals or to heat the solvent water to a predetermined temperature The washing water generating tank 140 is disposed in the washing water producing tank 140 so that the washing material stored in the washing water producing tank 140 can be supplied to the instantaneous hot water To mix with the raw water heated by module 130 and to generate wash water.

Meanwhile, the pump 150 discharges the raw water, the sterilizing water, or the washing water from the circulating or sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 for the water purifier.

The sterilization and cleaning kit 100 for a water purifier according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes a raw water valve v1, a circulation valve v2 or a drain valve v3 for circulating and discharging raw water, sterilized water, .

1, a sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 for a water purifier in which a washing water producing tank 140 is disposed is illustrated. However, the washing water producing tank 140 is provided in the sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 Can be disposed outside. Even when the washing water producing tank 140 is disposed outside, the washing water flows along the same path as the case of the internal arrangement except for the external arrangement of the washing water producing tank 140.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a sterilizing and cleaning kit for a water purifier according to an embodiment of the present invention for sterilizing a water purifier.

Referring to FIG. 3, the raw water supplied from the raw water supply unit 300 is introduced into the sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 for a water purifier according to the present invention (S100). At this time, the raw water valve v1 is in the open state, and the pump 150 is operated.

Before the introduction of the raw water, the sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 for a water purifier according to the present invention and the water purifier 200 are connected by a connection pipe. A cold water coke 210 or a purified water coke 220 for discharging purified water from the water purifier 200 and an internal flow path of the water purifier 200 connected to the water tank side of the water purifier 200 by the connection pipe, A sterilization and cleaning kit 100 may be connected. The sterilization water can be circulated between the sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 for the water purifier and the water purifier 200 by the above connection.

In addition, it is preferable that all of the purified water or cold water stored in the water tank of the water purifier 200 is removed prior to the entry of the raw water, in order to prevent sterilization for the water purifier and to prevent foreign matter from entering into the cleaning 100.

The raw water may be supplied via the strainer 160 before being supplied to the sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 for the water purifier. The strainer 160 prevents foreign matter from flowing into the sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 or the water purifier 200 to block the flow path when foreign substances are contained in the raw water. The strainer 160 may be a filter made of a metal mesh or the like.

The raw water introduced into the sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 for the water purifier is supplied to the sterilizing module 110 via the instantaneous hot water module 130. At this time, the instantaneous hot water module 130 does not operate and may serve only as a passage through which the raw water passes.

As described above, the sterilizing module 110 electrolyzes the raw water to generate sterilized water (S110).

The sterilizing water may be passed through the washing water producing tank 140 before being supplied to the water purifier 200, but the washing water is not mixed with the sterilizing water. That is, the sterilizing water generating tank 140 may serve only as a passage for passing the sterilizing water during the sterilization, or may be a separate channel through which the sterilizing water passes when the washing water producing tank 140 is disposed .

The sterilized water supplied to the water purifier 200 is discharged from the water purifier 200 through the water channel and the water tank and through the cold water cork 210. The flow path inside the water purifier 200, the water storage tank, and the cold water coke may be sterilized by the sterilization water (S120).

On the other hand, when the connection pipe connected to the cold water cork 210 is connected to the purified water cork 220, the purified water cork 220 is sterilized.

In addition, the connection pipe may be connected to both the cold water cork 210 and the purified water cork 220. In this case, the connection pipes connected to the cold water cork 210 and the purified water cork 220 are combined into one pipe and connected to the sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 for the water purifier. In this case, the cold water cork 210 and the purified water cork 220 can be sterilized at the same time.

The sterilized water discharged from the cold water cork 210 of the water purifier 200 is supplied to the sterilization module 110 through a pump 150 circulating or discharging the sterilized water. Referring to FIG. 5, the circulation valve v2 may be open and the drain valve v3 may be closed to supply the sterilizing water to the sterilization module 110.

The sterilization water supplied to the sterilization module 110 is concentrated by the electrolysis of the sterilization module 110 into sterilized water of a higher concentration (S130). That is, the concentration of the hypochlorite ion having a sterilizing function in the sterilized water is increased.

The sterilized water of a higher concentration is discharged from the water purifier 200 through the cold water cork 210 via the flow path inside the water purifier 200 and the water storage tank. The flow path inside the water purifier 200, the water storage tank, and the cold water cork 210 can be more smoothly sterilized by the higher concentration of sterilization water (S140).

When the connection pipe connected to the cold water cork 210 is connected to the purified water cork 220, the purified water cork 220 is sterilized and the connection pipe is connected to the cold water claw 210 and the purified water cork 220, The cold water cork 210 and the purified water cork 220 can be sterilized at the same time.

The sterilization water is supplied to the water purifier sterilization and cleaning kit 100 at step S150, and the sterilization and cleaning kit 100 for the water purifier 100 determines whether sterilization has ended. The determination of whether or not the sterilization is terminated may be performed by the number of times of the sterilization water concentration (S130) and the sterilization of the water purifier (S140) preset in the sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 for the water purifier, Can be determined.

If it is determined that the sterilization is not terminated, the sterilization water is supplied to the sterilization module 110 through the pump 150. Referring to FIG. 5, the circulation valve v2 may be open and the drain valve v3 may be closed to supply the sterilizing water to the sterilization module 110.

As described above, the sterilizing water supplied to the sterilizing module 110 is concentrated to sterilized water at a higher concentration (S130), and supplied to the water purifier 200 to sterilize the water purifier 200 (S140).

If it is determined that the sterilization is terminated, the sterilized water passes through the pump 150 and is discharged to the outside of the sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 for the water purifier. Referring to FIG. 6, the circulation valve v2 may be closed and the drain valve v3 may be opened to discharge the sterile water.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a sterilizing and cleaning kit for a water purifier according to an embodiment of the present invention for cleaning a water purifier.

Referring to FIG. 4, the raw water supplied from the raw water supply unit 300 flows into the sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 for a water purifier according to the present invention (S200). At this time, the raw water valve v1 is in the open state, and the pump 150 is operated.

Before the introduction of the raw water, the sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 for a water purifier according to the present invention and the water purifier 200 are connected by a connection pipe. A cold water coke 210 or a purified water coke 220 for discharging purified water from the water purifier 200 and an internal flow path of the water purifier 200 connected to the water tank side of the water purifier 200 by the connection pipe, A sterilization and cleaning kit 100 may be connected. By the connection, the washing water can circulate through the sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 for the water purifier and the water purifier 200.

In addition, it is preferable that all of the purified water or cold water stored in the water tank of the water purifier 200 is removed prior to the entry of the raw water, in order to prevent sterilization for the water purifier and to prevent foreign matter from entering into the cleaning 100. In addition, when cold water is stored in the water storage tank, it is preferable to empty the water storage tank because it is inefficient in energy and time to use the cold water as the washing water by heating by the instantaneous hot water module 130. [

The raw water may be supplied through the strainer 160 before being supplied to the sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 for the water purifier. In this way, the sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 for the water purifier or the flow path This can be prevented.

The raw water flowing into the sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 for the water purifier is supplied to the instantaneous hot water module 130 and the raw water is heated to a predetermined temperature by the instantaneous hot water module 130 at step S205.

The heated raw water is supplied to the washing water producing tank 140 through the sterilizing module 110 and the washing water producing tank 140 mixes the raw water and the washing material stored in the washing water producing tank 140, (S210). At this time, the sterilizing module 110 does not operate and may be a passage for passing the raw water.

The generated cleansing water flows into the water purifier 200 and is discharged from the water purifier 200 through the water path of the purifier 200 and the water tank through the cold water cork 210. The flow path inside the water purifier 200, the water tank, and the cold water cork 210 may be cleaned by the cleansing water (S220).

On the other hand, when the connection pipe connected to the cold water cork 210 is connected to the purified water cork 220, the purified water cork 220 is cleaned.

In addition, the connection pipe may be connected to both the cold water cork 210 and the purified water cork 220. In this case, the connection pipes connected to the cold water cork 210 and the purified water cork 220 are combined into one pipe and connected to the sterilizing and cleaning kit 100 for the water purifier. In this case, the cold water cork 210 and the purified water cork 220 can be cleaned simultaneously.

The washing water discharged from the cold water cork 210 of the water purifier 200 is supplied to the sterilizing module 110 through a pump 150 circulating or discharging the washing water. Referring to FIG. 5, the circulation valve v2 may be open and the drain valve v3 may be closed to supply the rinse water to the sterilization module 110.

The washing water supplied to the sterilizing module 110 cleans the sterilizing module 110 (S230). That is, since the sterilization module 110 generates sterilized water by electrolysis, a scale, that is, a metal oxide, which is an impurity, may accumulate on the surface of the inner surface of the sterilization module 110 during the generation process. Can be removed by number. The scale is removed by the same flow path through which the sterilizing water flows and the flow of the washing water through the sterilizing module 110 and the washing water producing tank 140 This is possible.

When the temperature of the washing water is lower than a predetermined set temperature, the washing water that has been cleaned by the sterilizing module 110 passes through the instantaneous hot water module 130 and the washing water producing tank 140. When the temperature of the washing water is lower than a predetermined set temperature, The washing water may be heated by the operation of the washing water producing tank 140, and the washing water may be supplemented to the washing water by the washing water producing tank 140.
