Description

200936218 九、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係關於具有可移除E體之滲濾器系統,該£體 具有於主要申請專利範圍之前言中提及之特徵。 這些過濾器系統通常用於處理家庭與食物用水之壺, 咖啡壺,茶壺以及電熱水壺之結構。 【先前技術】 舉例來說:從EP 1 484 097中已知具有這些特徵之壺。 在此專利中所描述之壺係使用自來水之傳導性質以關 閉介於二個電氣接點間之正常開啟迴路,當水係引導入壺 之上部或下部貯存器時,則該等接點淹沒在要被處理之水 中。 然而,此技術具有一些缺點,一方面是結構之複雜以 及電極系統隨著時間之不穩定性,另一方面則是該系統易 有錯誤讀數,以及在任何情況下具有顯著電力消耗。 【發明内容】 本發明預定解決之技術問題係為提供特別設計成用於 壺,水壺以及類似物品結構之過濾器系統,該過濾器系統 可在結構上以及功能上設計成克服上述已知技藝中之所有 缺點。 藉由本發明過濾器系統之作用,可解決此問題,而該 過遽器系統具有描述於所附申請專利範圍中之特徵。 【實施方式】 在圖式中’元件符號1指示整個過濾器系統,該系統 6 200936218 包含用於過濾飲用水之壺2。 壺2設有把手3與可移除蓋子4,以及容納一送料斗6, 該送料斗係將壺分割成第一以及第二貯存器7, 8;該等貯 存器係預定分別容納要被過濾之水與容納該已過濾水。 在第一貯存器之基部壁部 形成座部10 ’在該座部中,可以防水方式接收可替換過渡 器匣體12之周圍邊緣11。 匣體12在其有效工作壽命末端必須被更換,該末端可 決定成為已過濾水之全部容積、自其第一致動之經過時 間,及/或其他因素之函數,該等因素係為計算裝置13所 考量’該計算裝置係位在’舉例來說,像是:在壺2之把 手中,或在蓋子4上。計算裝置13包含有顯示器14,該 顯示器係用於指示匿體耗盡,以當匿體效能已到達臨界 時1議更換該㈣,如此使得,不再保證適當過渡性能。 計算裝置13亦連接至一個或多個感應器Ma_n,在圖i中, ❹ 該等感應器位在送料斗之外部壁部上。感應器W位在第
-貯存器之最大填充高度處(且將指相對貯存器基部之“末 端感應器’’),同時,咸鹿II Μη , 在該基部處(且將指“近 )。在圖2中’可使用三個感應器Ua-C,該等感 應器全部位在壺2之外部壁部上。 ° b形成桿狀元件15之部分 ,感應器…, 件係從蓋子4突出進入壺。在圖第二=:,該桿狀元 桿狀元件15之部分,哕 感應器14a-c形成 該考干狀το件固定至計算 示器14’並且以可移除方式與蓋子 X 3,、顯 連、’該桿狀元件15 7 200936218 通過在蓋子4中之孔洞16。在顯示於圖3與圖4之二個情 況下’感應器係嵌在形成該桿狀元件之塑膠材料中,同時, 在圖1與圖2之情況下,該等感應器可施加至對應貯存器 之外側,在此方式下其不會直接與水接觸。此外,在圖3 與圖4之示例中,較佳的是,舉例來說:當一隻手朝向壺 時,或當壺朝向另一物品時,可從壺壁部分離感應器與對 應桿狀元件,以避免擾亂其操作。對於此目的來說,較佳 定位係沿著垂直桿狀元件;而該垂直桿狀元件係相對壺之 侧邊壁部定中心。 在所有說明情況下’感應器14a-n係為電容場效種類, 像是.由丁ouchsensor Technologies LLC of Wheaton (IL), USA所銷售之感應器。這些感應器可偵測物體存在,該物 體像是:容納在該貯存器7,8中之水物體,而當其高度 上升,可在不需要任何直接接觸液體的情況下,進行偵測。 當藉由在對應貯存器基部處之近端感應器,偵測到水之存 在時’則可致動用於㈣之末端感應器,且此感應器依序 才曰不貯存器之完整填充。可使用由末端感應器所傳送至計 算裝置之訊號以計算在貯存器之連續裝填中,導入貯存器 之水數量,因此以決定匣體之效率,以用於指示其耗盡之 目的較佳的疋,在貯存器基部處之近端感應器可使得末 端感應器分程傳遞訊號讀數一段有限期間,在此方式下, 如果從近端感應器致動開始,在末端感應器處無讀入訊號 -段有利之有限期間(舉例來說,像是:3〇秒)的話,則末 端感應器係暫時失效直到近端感應器之下個致動為止。此 200936218 作用為限制感應器錯誤讀數之可能性。 因此本發明解決所述問題,同時亦提供許多益處: 像是:對於特別是小整體尺寸之裝置操作的低電力消耗, 與準碟操作,這部分是由於:感應以與水接觸的緣故。 此外,根據本發明之過濾器系統係適用於不僅是壺而且亦 1電熱水壺’咖啡壺與相似裝置之結構,以及可亦使用為 才曰不匣體耗盡狀態以及實行不同種類機械保養操作之需 求。 【圖式簡單說明】 本發明之特徵以及優點從以上本發明實施例之較佳, 但非限制示例之詳細描述而變得清楚,該說明示例參考所 附圖式而用於引導且無限制意圖之目的,其中: 圖1係為示意剖面圖; 圖2至圖4為本發明之三個變化實施例之剖面圖,其 對應於圖1剖面圖。 【主要元件符號說明】 1 過濾器系統 2 壺 3 把手 4 蓋子 6 送料斗 7 第一貯存器 7a 基部壁部 8 第一貯存器 200936218 通道 座部 周圍邊緣 匣體 計算裝置 顯示器 感應器 感應器 感應器 桿狀元件
