Description

Filter assembly for water purifier {FILTER ASSEMBLY FOR WATER PURIFICATION}

The present invention relates to a filter assembly installed on faucets in bathrooms, kitchens, etc. to remove various foreign substances or bacteria in water. More specifically, it relates to a filter body in the form of a brass pipe for anti-bacterial and sterilization treatment and to prevent discoloration of the brass pipe. This article relates to a filter assembly for a water purifier that uses a combination of transparent synthetic resin pipes to achieve excellent antibacterial and sterilization effects and improve the appearance of the filter.

Due to water pollution caused by recent industrial development, there is a trend in homes, workplaces, and businesses to use purified water using separate water purifiers rather than directly using tap water.

Typically, a water purifier is a device that removes foreign substances contained in raw water by passing tap water supplied from a faucet, that is, raw water, through the inside of a filter. Recently, it has been widely distributed not only in businesses but also in homes.

These water purifiers have a simple water purification function that allows raw water to pass through several stages of filters in order to filter out various impurities contained in the raw water as well as bacteria, heavy metals, etc. It can be classified into cold and hot water purifiers that provide cold and hot water by immediately cooling or heating raw water after purifying it.

In the case of such water purifiers, they are usually installed on faucets in the kitchen or bathroom, which are places where raw water can be supplied in most homes.

In recent years, as the level of hygiene and awareness of consumers has increased, products related to antibacterial and sterilization in daily necessities have become necessities in the Corona era.

However, in existing water purifiers, after use, the inside of the water purifier and the filter are always wet with moisture and the temperature is appropriate, so more bacteria are detected than in the toilet.

In particular, the filter of a water purifier has a problem in that after rust, suspended matter, and harmful substances in tap water are filtered through the filter, they become food and nutrients for bacteria and become a breeding ground for various bacteria.

The filters currently used in water purifiers not only have almost no sterilization function, but when used for long periods of time, silver powder or particles, which are heavy metals filled to improve functionality, fall off and become lodged in body cells when infants or children swallow them while bathing or brushing their teeth, causing damage years later. It is true that it is unsuitable because there is a risk of cell mutation occurring.

In addition, the filters used in most existing water purifiers are side filters, which have poor water purification function, and are bulky and structurally complex, as well as the replacement cycle and short lifespan, which has disadvantages in terms of economics.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

1 and 2 are perspective views showing a filter assembly for a water purifier according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a filter assembly for a water purifier according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the filter assembly for the water purifier is installed in a faucet in a bathroom, kitchen, etc. to remove foreign substances or bacteria in the water, and is made of a filter body made of brass, functional materials such as magnetic balls, etc. In addition to sterilizing various bacteria in the water, it purifies various impurities in the water. In particular, the outer peripheral surface of the filter body is covered with a filter cover to prevent the filter body from being exposed to water, preventing the brass filter body from being discolored by water. It is made up of a structure that can prevent it.

To this end, the filter assembly for the water purifier is installed in the water purifier and includes a filter body 10 as a means of sterilizing harmful components and bacteria in the water.

The filter body 10 may be formed in the form of a circular brass pipe.

That is, the filter body 10 can be made of a long pipe made of brass, for example, a brass pipe with specifications of 0.2 to 1 mm in thickness, 15 to 25 mm in diameter, and 10 to 20 mm in length. .

This filter body 10 is installed inside a water purifier such as a shower, water softener, or water purifying device with a water purifying function installed on a faucet in a bathroom or kitchen. Of the two ends installed in this way, one is the inlet where water enters, and the other is the water inlet. can be an outlet for water to exit.

Accordingly, water that enters one inlet of the filter body 10 can pass through the inside of the filter body 10 directly and exit through the other outlet, and in this water flow process, the water of the filter body 10 Inside, water and the functional material 13 come into contact, and the water comes into contact with the inner wall of the filter body 10 made of brass, thereby eliminating harmful components or impurities in the water and the sterilizing effect exerted by the brass material. As a result, various bacteria can be removed, and at the same time, through the functions performed by various functional materials (13), it is possible to obtain clear and clean water that is beneficial to the human body and is free of bacteria.

Here, the water that enters the inlet of the filter body 10 passes through the interior in a straight line along the axial direction of the filter body 10 and then exits through the outlet, thereby ensuring the flow rate of water and water and functional materials. It is possible to secure sufficient contact sections between water and brass materials.

In addition, the filter assembly for a water purifier includes a filter cover 11 as a means of preventing the outer peripheral surface of the filter body 10 from being exposed to water.

The filter cover 11 is made in the form of a circular pipe made of transparent or opaque synthetic resin.

This filter cover 11 has a relatively long length compared to the length of the filter body 10, and the inner diameter of the filter cover 11 at this time is made to be almost the same as the outer diameter of the filter body 10.

For example, the length of the filter cover 11 is longer than the length of the filter body 10, so that when the filter cover 11 is inserted into the outer peripheral surface of the filter body 10, the length of the filter body 10 From both ends, both ends of the filter cover 11 can be extended by a certain length, and the water diffusers 12a and 12b can be inserted into the inside of this extended length, ultimately allowing the filter body 10 and both sides The combined length of the water diffusers 12a and 12b and the length of the filter cover 11 can be made to be almost the same length.

Additionally, the inner diameter of the filter cover 11 can be larger than the outer diameter of the filter body 10 within a predetermined tolerance range.

Accordingly, when the filter cover 11 is inserted into the outer peripheral surface of the filter body 10, the filter cover 11 is pressed and fitted tightly to the outer peripheral surface of the filter body 10, that is, it has some ductility. The filter cover 11 is fitted in the form of an interference fit on the outer peripheral surface of the filter body 10, and eventually the filter cover 11 is completely adhered to the outer peripheral surface of the filter body 10, allowing water to form on the outer peripheral surface of the filter body 10. This can prevent exposure to

By covering the outer peripheral surface of the filter body 10 made of brass with a filter cover 11, for example, a transparent filter cover 11, the problem of discoloration of the filter body 10 due to contact with water is completely eliminated. This can be resolved, and thus the user no longer feels visually distrust, discomfort, or discomfort due to the discoloration of the filter body 10, and rather can gain trust in the product as well as the unique appearance given by the color of the brass material. do.

In addition, from a functional aspect, there is an advantage in that discoloration of the filter body 10 can be prevented and functionality can be maintained for a long period of time.

In addition, the filter assembly for the water purifier is coaxially fitted and coupled to the inside of both ends of the filter cover 11 and includes water diffusers 12a and 12b in the form of a circular cap as a means of passing water and diffusing water. Includes.

The water diffusers 12a and 12b serve to break the water flow into small pieces and spread it widely, thereby making the water soft and reducing irritation to the user's skin.

To this end, the water diffusers 12a and 12b include a body 15, circular ribs 16 and radial ribs 17, pressing protrusions 18, and locking protrusions 19.

The body 15 has a circular cap shape with one side open.

The circular ribs 16 and radial ribs 17 form the bottom surface of the body 15 and are formed in a top-and-bottom stacked structure. In this case, the circular ribs 16 are composed of a plurality of circular ribs 16 arranged in concentric circles with different diameters. The radial ribs 17 are composed of a plurality of radially arranged ribs.

Here, the plurality of circular ribs 16 have a shape in which the circular rib with the smallest diameter is disposed toward the center, and circular ribs with gradually larger diameters are disposed toward the outside at regular intervals.

In addition, the radial ribs 17 extend in a straight line from the center to the outside and intersect with circular ribs, forming an overall radial shape. These radial ribs 17 and circular ribs 16 ) are in contact with one side of each other.

The pressing protrusions 18 are formed to protrude on the outer peripheral surface of the body 15, and are arranged at regular intervals along the circumference of the body and at the same time extend for a certain length along the body axis.

These pressing protrusions 18 are fitted and closely adhered to the inner peripheral surfaces of both ends of the filter cover 11, and thus the water diffusers 12a and 12b do not easily fall out of the filter cover 11.

The locking protrusion 19 is formed along the edge of the open portion of the body 15, and when the water diffusers 12a and 12b are inserted and installed, the locking protrusion 19 is located at the end of the filter cover 11. Since it is caught and no longer enters, the mounting position (insertion degree) of the water diffusers 12a and 12b can be determined.

Therefore, at the bottom of the water diffusers 12a and 12b, a number of fine holes are created by the intersection structure between the circular ribs 16 and the radial ribs 17, and water eventually passes through these fine holes. Accordingly, the water is broken into small pieces and can spread.

Additionally, the filter assembly for a water purifier includes a plurality of functional materials 13 filled within the filter body 10.

The functional material 13 includes magnetic balls, red clay balls, tourmaline balls, bio balls, chlorine removal balls, magnetite balls, antibacterial ceramic balls, calcium sulfite balls, elvan stone balls, magnesium balls, carbon balls, and descaling balls. It can be made of one type or a mixture of several types, and this functional material 13 plays the role of turning water into functional water through contact with water.

As an example, the magnetic ball flows freely inside the filter body 10 through which water passes and continuously comes into contact with water, so that the water molecular structure is ion-activated water due to the very strong magnetic force of the magnet, that is, magnetized hexagonal water. can be converted to .

That is, by passing water through the magnetic force (9,000 to 13,000 G) of a strong neodymium permanent magnet generated in the magnetic ball and the filter body 10 made of brass to activate the ions, the water particles (clusters) are fine and the dissolved oxygen content is high. It is possible to provide functional water that is high in minerals, is slightly alkaline, and consists of hexagonal water with a hexagonal ring structure.

Therefore, the water passing through the inside of the filter body 10 passes directly from the inlet to the outlet of the filter body 10, and in this way, the water passes through the inside of the filter body 10 filled with the functional material 13. During the passage, harmful components and impurities in the water can be removed, and through the functions of various health materials, clear and clean water that is beneficial to the human body and free of bacteria can be obtained.

Additionally, the filter assembly for a water purifier includes a filter body 14 as a means of removing impurities in water.

The filter body 14 is made in the form of a circular block and is installed in a structure that is coupled to the inside of the water diffusers 12a and 12b.

This filter body 14 can be made of cotton material, compressed fiber material, compressed paper material, non-woven material, etc.

Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a state of use for a filter assembly for a water purifier according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 4, the filter assembly can be used by being built into a water purifier installed in a bathroom or kitchen sink faucet.

Here, we show an example of installing and using a filter assembly in a bathroom shower.

When a shower with a built-in filter assembly is connected to a faucet and the tap is turned on by operating the faucet's lever, the tap water enters the inside of the shower, is purified and sterilized through the filter assembly, and then flows out through the shower. I'm going out.

In other words, tap water is discharged after passing through the filter body 14 → water diffusion body 12b → functional material 13 in the filter body 10 → water diffusion body 12a → filter body 14, so that the user You will be able to wash your face or bathe with clean, purified and sterilized water.

At this time, the water that enters the inside of the filter body 10 comes into contact with the functional material 13, for example, a magnetic ball, and comes into contact with the inner wall of the filter body 10 made of brass, and thus into the water. Contained microorganisms and various harmful bacteria can be sterilized.

In other words, semi-permanent antibacterial and sterilizing effects can be achieved through the generation of metal ions and electric and magnetic fields by the magnetic ball and the filter body 10 made of brass material with excellent electrical conductivity.

In addition, when water enters and leaves the filter body 10, the water is split into small pieces as it hits the circular ribs 16 and radial ribs 17 of the water diffusers 12a and 12b, so that the user You can supply soft water to your body.

In particular, since the outer peripheral surface of the filter body 10 is surrounded by the filter cover 11, contact between the outer peripheral surface of the filter body 10 and water can be completely excluded, thereby preventing the filter body 10 from discoloring. You can do it.

As such, the present invention provides a filter assembly consisting of a combination of a filter body in the form of a brass pipe with a functional material embedded in it, and a filter cover in the form of a transparent synthetic resin pipe that closes the circumference of the brass pipe, so that it can be used as well as after use. When used, it can automatically and semi-permanently sterilize various harmful bacteria growing on the wet water purifier and filter, as well as sterilize various harmful bacteria contained in the water and block the production of organic chlorine chemicals in the water. In addition, it generates strong magnetic energy, so it can be safely used for drinking water or food washing purposes, and can improve the appearance and functionality of the filter by preventing the filter from being discolored or contaminated.
