Abstract

본 발명은 정수탱크의 정수를 살균시킬 수 있는 냉온정수기의 램프제어장치 및 그 방법에 관한 것으로써, 급수되는 원수를 다수개의 필터를 통과시켜 정수한 후 가열 및 냉각시켜 온수 및 냉수를 공급하도록 정수탱크, 냉수탱크 및 온수탱크를 구비하는 냉온정수기에 있어서, 상기 정수탱크의 수위를 감지하는 수위감지수단과, 상기 수위감지수단에 의해 감지된 수위감지신호에 따라 상기 정수탱크내의 정수를 살균하도록 자외선 램프를 구동하는 램프구동수단과, 상기 수위감지수단에 의해 감지된 수위 감지신호에 따라 상기 자외선램프의 구동시간을 제어하는 제어수단으로 이루어진 것으로, 만수위시에만 소정시간동안 자외선램프를 점등하여 소비전력절감은 물론, 살균력을 향상시킬 수 있고, 램프구동시간을 단축하여 램프수명을 연장할 수 있다는 효과가 있다.The present invention relates to a lamp control apparatus and method for a cold / warm water purifier capable of sterilizing purified water in a purified water tank, and is characterized in that raw water to be supplied is purified by passing through a plurality of filters and then heated and cooled, A cold / warm water purifier comprising a tank, a cold water tank, and a hot water tank, the cold water purifier comprising: a water level sensing means for sensing a water level of the purified water tank; And a control means for controlling the driving time of the ultraviolet lamp in accordance with the level sensing signal sensed by the level sensing means. The ultraviolet lamp is turned on for a predetermined time only when the water level is high, It is possible to improve the sterilizing power as well as to reduce the lamp driving time and to prolong the lamp life Is effective.

Description

제1도는 본 발명의 일실시예의 의한 냉온정수기를 개략적으로 도시한 종단면도.FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view schematically showing a cold / warm water purifier according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG.

Claims

1. A cold / warm water purifier comprising a water tank, a cold water tank and a hot water tank for supplying hot water and cold water by heating and cooling purified water after passing through a plurality of filters, Lamp driving means for driving the ultraviolet lamp so as to sterilize and purify the purified water in the purified water tank according to the level sensing signal sensed by the water level sensing means; And controlling means for controlling the driving time of the ultraviolet lamp.

The lamp control apparatus of claim 1, wherein the control unit counts an integer time according to the level sensing signal sensed by the water level sensing unit.

A water level detecting step of detecting the amount of purified water passing through the filter and passing through the filter by passing the raw water to be supplied through a settling filter, a pre-treatment filter, a membrane, a rearrator filter and a UV filter, A water level determining step of determining whether the water level of the purified water tank detected in the sensing step is a high water level; and a water level determining step of determining whether the water level of the purified water tank is high or low, And a driving time judging step of judging whether or not a driving time of the ultraviolet lamp has passed a predetermined time in the lamp driving step.

4. The lamp control method according to claim 3, wherein, in the driving time determination step, driving of the ultraviolet lamp is stopped when it is determined that the ultraviolet lamp driving time has passed a predetermined time.

※ Note: It is disclosed by the contents of the first application.
