Description

Portable water purification device {PORTABLE WATER PURIFIER}

The present invention relates to a portable water purification device, and more particularly, to a portable water purification device using the rotational force of a water tank configured to allow a user to transport water on the ground.

PAI (Population Action International) evaluates countries around the world, divides rainfall runoff by population, and provides data by classifying them into water-starved countries, water-scarce countries, and water-abundant countries. At this time, the data provided by the PAI reflected only the land area, population density, and rainfall, and had a limitation in not reflecting the social reality of developing countries. Accordingly, the UK's Center for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH) aggregated, calculated, and provided WPI (Water Poverty Index) data, which can indicate the relationship between a nation's welfare level and water availability.

According to currently published data, many people in developing countries use contaminated water without purification or filtration. As a result, many people die every year from water-borne diseases. In addition, in the case of developing countries, there is a problem in that the water distribution network is remarkably low and the vehicle ownership rate is also low. And although products such as hippo rollers and Q drums are currently being used, these products have the disadvantage of not being able to prevent water-related diseases because they are simply rolling water bottles.

Accordingly, in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1086078 (“Cylindrical water tank”, announcement on November 1, 2011), the problem as described above was solved through a technology in which a filter is disposed in a cylindrical water tank that is movable on the ground. In Patent Publication No. 10-1968471 (“Device for generating and storing electricity”, announced on April 11, 2019), an electricity generator is provided in a water storage container that is movable on the ground to generate and store electricity. improved to provide the device. Among these, the cylindrical water tank that is intended to improve water quality through a filter will be described in detail as follows. As shown in FIG. 1 , the cylindrical water container includes a cylindrical housing 1 , a filter insert tube 2 , a lid part 3 and a filter member 4 . At this time, as the filter member 4 capable of purifying water is inserted into the filter insert tube 2, the cylindrical water tank has been improved so that a user can use water with improved water quality while rolling the cylindrical housing in a line.

However, improving the water quality through a filter has a problem that the water purification performance is rather low, and since the filter must be replaced periodically with a consumable material, there is a problem that it is difficult to actually use it because of the maintenance cost. In addition, when a separate equipment for transporting water is provided, there is a problem in that it cannot be supplied to many people because the cost incurred during manufacturing and the cost incurred while maintaining the inside of the equipment are aggravated.
