Description

반려동물 전용의 정수기Water purifier for pets
본 발명은 반려동물(예; 개, 고양이 등)이 순환 방식의 정수 물을 먹을 수 있도록 하면서, 반려동물에게 발생할 수 있는 비뇨기계 질환(예; 방광염, 요로 결석 등)을 예방하는 반려동물 전용의 정수기에 관한 것이다.The present invention allows pets (e.g. dogs, cats, etc.) to drink circulating purified water, while preventing the urinary tract diseases (e.g. cystitis, urinary tract stones, etc.) that can occur in pets. It is about a water purifier.
일반적으로, 정수기는 상수원에서 공급되는 상수를 물리적 및 화학적 방법으로 여과시켜 불순물을 제거한 후 공급하는 장치로, 정수기에서 출수되는 정수 물을 사람과 같은 주거 공간에서 생활하는 반려동물에게 제공하기 위한 필요성이 있다. 이에, 다양한 형태의 반려동물 전용 정수기가 개시되기에 이르렀다.In general, a water purifier is a device that removes impurities by filtering water supplied from a water source by physical and chemical methods, and there is a need to provide purified water from the water purifier to pets living in residential spaces such as humans. have. Accordingly, various types of pet water purifiers have been started.
일예로, 정수필터를 장착하여둔 물통에 직수관을 연결하거나 또는 사람이 직접 물통에 물을 투입하면서, 상기 정수필터를 통과하여 정수된 물이 배출될 때 이를 반려동물이 먹을 수 있도록 하였다.For example, when a water pipe is connected to a water tank equipped with a water filter, or a person directly inputs water into the water tank, the purified water is discharged through the water filter so that the animal can eat it.
그러나, 물통에 저장되어 정수된 물이 지속적으로 순환되는 것이 아니라 정체된 상태를 유지하는 관계로, 수질에 대한 관리가 제대로 이루어지기 어렵다.However, since the water stored in the bucket and purified water is not continuously circulated but is kept in a stagnant state, it is difficult to properly manage the water quality.
한편, 종래에는 정수필터가 장착된 물통을 사용자가 잡은 상태에서 정수된 물을 받침대 등에 직접 따라 주어야 하는 것으로, 이는 사용자가 외출하는 경우 반려동물이 필요로 하는 취수량만큼 정수된 물을 지속적으로 공급할 수 없는 제약이 있고, 특히 선행기술 1,2와 동일하게 물통에서 정수된 물을 지속적으로 순환시킬 수 없는 것이므로 이 또한 수질 관리가 제대로 이루어질 수는 없었다.On the other hand, in the prior art, the user must hold the water filter equipped with a water filter in accordance with the purified water directly to the pedestal, etc., which can continuously supply water purified by the amount of water required by the pet when the user goes out. There are no restrictions, and in particular, it is not possible to circulate the purified water continuously in the water tank in the same way as the prior art 1,2, this also could not be properly managed.
즉, 상기 설명되는 기술들은 비록 정수필터를 통해 정수된 물을 반려동물에게 제공하는 것이지만, 이는 물통에 대한 정화 성능과 청결을 유지하기 위한 유지 관리가 추가적으로 이루어져야 하는 것이다.That is, although the above-described techniques provide the pet with purified water through the purified water filter, this requires additional maintenance to maintain the purification performance and cleanness of the bucket.
정수기에서 반려동물을 위해 구비되는 취수부는 물통과 유사한 형태를 가지는데, 단순히 물이 담겨 있을 뿐 특별히 반려동물에게 흥미를 유발하기 어려운 형태를 가지고 있고, 취수부가 지면 가까이에 위치되어 먼지나 세균 등으로 오염될 가능성이 높다.The water intake part provided for pets in the water purifier has a shape similar to a water tank. It is simply filled with water and has a form that is not particularly interesting to pets. The water intake part is located near the ground, Highly likely to be contaminated.
종래의 반려동물 전용 정수기는 본체의 하단에 일부 측면이 돌출되고, 상대적으로 정수기 본체에 비해 작은 크기의 물그릇이 구비되는 형태로 구성되는 관계로, 다수의 반려동물이 한꺼번에 정수를 음용하는 것이 불편하고, 노출되는 수면이 넓지 않아 반려동물의 흥미를 유발시킬 수 있는 구조가 아닌 한계점이 있다.The conventional water purifier for pets has a part that protrudes at the bottom of the main body, and has a relatively small bowl of water compared to the water purifier body, and it is inconvenient for many pets to drink purified water at once. In addition, there is a limit that is not a structure that can induce the interest of the companion because the surface is not exposed to a wide range.
종래 반려동물 전용의 정수기는 펌프를 적용하여 정수된 물을 펌핑하는 경우도 있지만, 상기 펌프는 물이 없는 상태에서 작동하여 고장이 발생하는 문제가 있고, 이에 따라 종래에는 사용자의 세심한 주의가 필요로 하는 것이다.Conventional water purifiers for pets may be used to pump purified water by applying a pump, but the pump operates in the absence of water, which causes a problem, and thus requires careful attention of the user. It is.
종래 펌프가 적용되는 반려동물 전용 정수기에서는 필터 교체 주기를 알려주지 않고, 사용자의 주관적인 관점에서 필터를 교체하게 되므로, 반려동물에게 양질의 식수를 제공하기는 어려웠다.In the conventional pet water purifier to which the pump is applied does not inform the filter replacement cycle, it is difficult to provide a good quality drinking water to the pet because the filter is replaced from the subjective perspective of the user.
종래 펌프가 적용되는 반려동물 전용 정수기는 주간과 야간에 따라 물 공급량을 서로 다르게 설정하는 것이 아니라 동일하게 공급되는 관계로, 야간에 잠들어 있는 보호자와 반려동물을 배려하고, 필터 사용 시간과 소비 전력을 줄일 수는 없었다.Conventional pet water purifier to which the conventional pump is applied does not set the water supply amount differently according to day and night, so it is supplied in the same way, and it considers guardians and pets who are asleep at night, and filter use time and power consumption Could not be reduced.
종래 펌프가 적용되는 반려동물 전용 정수기는 전선이 연결되는 펌프가 물통 바닥면에 고정되어 있는 관계로, 소음이 많이 발생하고, 펌프에 대한 분해가 어려워 물통에 대한 청소가 불편하며, 특히 펌프에 대한 교체나 수리가 어려웠다.The conventional water purifier for pets to which the pump is applied is fixed because the pump to which the wire is connected is fixed to the bottom of the bucket, so that a lot of noise is generated and it is difficult to disassemble the pump, making it difficult to clean the bucket. It was difficult to replace or repair.
종래 펌프가 적용되는 반려동물 전용의 정수기는 주기적인 세척이 필요로 하지만, 전기로 제어되는 제품이기 때문에 전선과 펌프, PCB 등이 삽입된 본체 혹은 물통을 소모품을 함께 세척할 수밖에 없으며, 이 경우 전선으로의 물 접촉을 차단하면서 세척을 진행하여야 하는 등 세척이 어려운 단점이 있다.Conventional water purifiers for pets that require conventional pumps require periodic cleaning, but because they are electrically controlled, they have no choice but to clean the consumables together with the main body or water container into which the wires, pumps, and PCBs are inserted. There is a disadvantage in that the washing is difficult, such as to proceed with the cleaning while blocking the water contact.
종래 펌프가 적용되는 반려동물 전용의 정수기는 오직 물이 흐르는 소리와 형상으로만 흥미를 유발하므로, 반려동물이 제대로 물을 음용하지 못하는 경우도 많았다.The water purifier for pets applied to conventional pumps only cause interest with only the sound and shape of water flowing, and thus, pets often did not drink water properly.
종래 펌프가 적용되는 반려동물 전용의 정수기는 필터가 누수 차단을 위한 방수용 오링 등을 통해 결합되어 있는 관계로, 필터 분리를 위해서는 일정한 힘이 필요로 하지만, 반려동물을 키우는 대부분의 사용자들이 여성인 점을 고려하면, 필터에 대한 분리가 어렵고, 필터를 분리한다 하더라도 이를 다시 결합시킬 때 그 결합이 제대로 이루어지지 못하면서, 방수 불량이 초래되어 물이 외부로 누수되는 경우가 많았다.Conventional water purifiers for pets, which are applied to conventional pumps, require a certain force to separate the filter, because the filter is combined through a waterproof O-ring to prevent leakage, but most users who raise pets are women. Considering this, it is difficult to separate the filter, and even when the filter is separated, when the recombination is not performed properly, the waterproofing is caused, and water was often leaked to the outside.
본 발명이 해결하고자 하는 과제는, 반려동물이 순환 방식의 정수 물을 먹을 수 있도록 하면서, 반려동물에게 발생할 수 있는 방광염, 요로 결석 등의 비뇨기계 질환을 예방할 수 있도록 하는 반려동물 전용의 정수기를 제공하려는 것이다.The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a water purifier for pets that can help the pets to drink purified water of the circulation system, while preventing urinary tract diseases such as cystitis, urinary stones, which can occur in the pets.

상기 저장조(20)는 일정량의 물이 저장되는 상부 개방형의 구조물로서, 상기 크래들(10)에 올려지는 것이며, 상기 저장조(20)의 일측 둘레에는 상기 수납부(11)를 수용하기 위해 내측방향으로 함몰되는 수용홈(21)을 형성하여둔 것이다.The reservoir 20 is a structure of an upper open type in which a predetermined amount of water is stored, which is placed on the cradle 10, and the inner side of the reservoir 20 is disposed inward to accommodate the accommodation part 11. It is to form a receiving groove 21 to be recessed.
여기서, 상기 저장조(20)에는 첨부된 도 5에서와 같이 상기 회로부(100)와 전기적으로 연결되는 정전용량센서(200)가 구성될 수 있으며, 상기 정전용량센서(200)는 상기 저장조(20)내의 물 저장량을 체크하고 이를 상기 회로부(100)에 전달하도록 구성하여둔 것이다.Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the storage tank 20 may include a capacitive sensor 200 electrically connected to the circuit unit 100, and the capacitive sensor 200 may include the storage tank 20. It is configured to check the amount of water stored therein and deliver it to the circuit unit 100.
이에 따라, 상기 회로부(100)에는 상기 정전용량센서(200)에 의해 체크된 결과에 따라 상기 펌프(30)의 구동을 온 또는 오프시키는 제어부(101), 그리고 상기 제어부(101)의 제어신호 출력에 따라 물 저장량 알림신호를 출력하는 알림부(102)를 더 포함할 수 있음은 물론, 필터 교체 주기를 체크하는 타이머(103)를 더 포함할 수 있으며, 따라서 상기 제어부(101)는 상기 타이머(103)의 타임 정보에 따라 필터 교체 주기를 사용자에게 알려주도록 상기 알림부(102)를 통해 알림신호를 출력 제어할 수 있는 것이다.Accordingly, the circuit unit 100 controls the controller 101 to turn on or off the driving of the pump 30 according to a result checked by the capacitance sensor 200, and outputs a control signal of the controller 101. In accordance with the present invention may further include a notification unit 102 for outputting a water storage notification signal, and may further include a timer 103 for checking a filter replacement cycle. Accordingly, the controller 101 may include the timer ( The notification unit 102 may control the output of the notification signal to inform the user of the filter replacement cycle according to the time information of 103.
이때, 상기 알림부(102)는 상기 덮개(12)를 통해 외부로 빛을 조사하는 LED램프 또는 '삐∼"와 같은 알림음을 출력하는 스피커로 구성될 수 있는 것이다.In this case, the notification unit 102 may be configured as an LED lamp for irradiating light to the outside through the cover 12 or a speaker that outputs a notification sound such as 'beep'.
한편, 첨부된 도 5의 블럭도에서와 같이, 상기 크래들(10)과 상기 저장조(20) 및 상기 음용대(50) 중 어느 하나에는 조도센서(300)가 더 구성될 수 있고, 이에 따라 상기 제어부(101)는 상기 조도센서(300)의 감지신호에 따라 상기 펌프(30)에 대한 온 또는 오프 구동, 그리고 상기 펌프(30)의 온 구동시 그 구동량을 증감시키도록 제어하는 신호를 출력할 수도 있는 것이다.On the other hand, as shown in the block diagram of Figure 5, one of the cradle 10, the reservoir 20 and the drinking table 50 may be further configured to the illumination sensor 300, accordingly The controller 101 outputs a signal for controlling the driving amount of the pump 30 to be increased or decreased according to the detection signal of the illuminance sensor 300 and the driving amount of the pump 30 when the pump 30 is driven on or off. You can do it.
따라서, 본 발명의 실시예에 따른 반려동물 전용 정수기는 상기 알림부(102)를 통해 사용자가 필터 교체 또는 물 부족 상태를 손쉽게 파악할 수 있게 되면서, 반려동물의 건강한 생활에 도움이 되도록 하고, 상기 조도센서(300)를 통해서는 낮과 밤을 어둠과 밝음으로 구분하여 물이 나오는 시간과 양의 자동 조절이 가능하게 되면서 밤에 잠들어 있는 보호자와 반려동물을 배려할 수 있음은 물론, 필터 사용시간과 소비전력을 절감하는 효과를 기대할 수 있는 것이다.Therefore, the pet water purifier according to an embodiment of the present invention, while the user can easily identify the filter replacement or water shortage state through the notification unit 102, so as to help the healthy life of the pet, the illumination Through the sensor 300, day and night can be divided into darkness and light, allowing automatic adjustment of the time and amount of water coming out, while caring for the guardian and pets who are asleep at night, as well as using the filter. It can be expected to reduce the power consumption.
더불어, 상기 설명되는 타이머(103)를 적용함에 따라, 사용자로 하여금 적절한 시기에 필터 교체 주기를 인지하도록 하여 반려동물에게 양질의 식수를 제공할 수 있는 것이다.In addition, according to the application of the timer 103 described above, by allowing the user to recognize the filter replacement cycle at an appropriate time it is possible to provide a good quality drinking water to the companion animal.
또한, 상기 정전용량센서(200)를 적용함에 따라, 상기 저장조(20)의 내부에 물이 일정 이상 소진되었을 경우에 알림부(102)를 통해 사용자에게 통보하게 되면서, 상기 제어부(101)가 자동으로 펌프(30)에 공급하는 구동전원을 차단하게 되므로, 제품 자체를 보호하고, 반려동물에게 지속적으로 식수가 제공될 수 있는 것이며, 이는 종래 반려동물 전용 정수기의 경우 순환 방식 펌프의 특성상 물이 없는 상태에서 작동할 때 고장의 위험성, 그리고 저장조(20)내에 물이 전부 소진되었을 때에도 지속적으로 상기 펌프(30)가 작동하게 되는 문제를 개선한 것이다.In addition, according to the application of the capacitive sensor 200, when the water in the reservoir 20 is exhausted more than a predetermined time to notify the user through the notification unit 102, the control unit 101 is automatically Since the driving power supplied to the pump 30 is cut off, the product itself is protected and drinking water can be continuously provided to the pet, which is the case of the conventional pet water purifier without water due to the characteristics of the circulation type pump. The risk of failure when operating in the state, and the problem that the pump 30 is continuously operated even when all the water in the reservoir 20 is exhausted.
상기 펌프(30)는 상기 회로부(100)로부터 구동전원을 공급받아 구동하고, 상기 저장조(20)에 저장된 물을 상기 필터 어셈블리(40)를 거쳐 상기 음수대(50)로 펌핑시키도록 구성하여둔 것이다.The pump 30 is driven to receive driving power from the circuit unit 100, and configured to pump water stored in the reservoir 20 to the drinking fountain 50 through the filter assembly 40. will be.
이때, 상기 펌프(30)에는 제 6 유로(U6)를 형성한 연결부(31)가 형성되는 것이고, 상기 연결부(31)는 상기 음수대(50)에 구성되는 후술하는 내부몸체(52)의 제 1 결합부(52a)에 끼움방식으로 결합 고정될 수 있으며, 이에 따라 상기 펌프(30)는 상기 저장조(20)의 내부에서 상기 저장조(20)의 내부 바닥면으로부터 이격되는 공중 부양상태를 유지할 수 있는 것이다.In this case, the pump 30 is formed with a connecting portion 31 forming a sixth flow path U6, and the connecting portion 31 is formed of the inner body 52 to be described later, which is configured in the drinking fountain 50. 1 can be fixedly coupled to the coupling portion 52a, so that the pump 30 can maintain a levitation state spaced apart from the inner bottom surface of the reservoir 20 in the reservoir 20. It is.
한편, 상기 펌프(30)가 상기 저장조(20)의 내부 바닥면으로부터 공중 부양 형상태를 유지하는 경우, 상기 펌프(30)의 펌핑동작에 따른 소음 차단 효과가 증대되고, 상기 저장조(20)의 상단으로부터 음용대(50)를 분리시킬 때, 상기 펌프(30)도 함께 분리되므로, 상기 저장조(20)에 대한 세척이 손쉽게 이루어질 수 있음은 물론, 상기 펌프(30)를 상기 음용대(50)로부터 손쉽게 분리 가능하므로, 상기 음용대(50)에 대한 세척도 손쉽게 이루어질 수 있고, 특히 상기 펌프(30)에 대한 사용자의 자가 교체가 가능하게 되면서 AS비용을 획기적으로 줄이는 효과를 기대할 수 있는 것이다.On the other hand, when the pump 30 maintains the levitation shape from the inner bottom surface of the reservoir 20, the noise blocking effect according to the pumping operation of the pump 30 is increased, the When separating the drinking table 50 from the top, since the pump 30 is also separated, washing of the reservoir 20 can be easily made, of course, the pump 30 to the drinking table 50 Since it can be easily separated from, the washing for the drinking table 50 can also be easily made, in particular the user's own replacement for the pump 30 can be expected to significantly reduce the cost of AS.
여기서, 상기 제 1 결합부(52a)에 상기 연결부(31)를 끼움 결합시, 상기 연결부(31)의 외주면에는 패킹(미도시)가 형성되며, 이에따라 상기 펌프(30)에 의해 물이 펌핑되어 상기 제 6 유로(U6)에 유입될 때, 상기 제 1 결합부(52a)와 상기 연결부(31)의 사이에서는 누수가 발생되지 않도록 하였다.Here, when fitting the connection portion 31 to the first coupling portion 52a, a packing (not shown) is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the connection portion 31, and thus water is pumped by the pump 30 When the sixth flow path (U6) flows in, the water leakage is not generated between the first coupling portion (52a) and the connecting portion (31).
상기 필터 어셈블리(40)는 상기 펌프(30)에 의해 펌핑되는 물을 정화시키는 것으로, 원통부(41), 제 1 및 제 2 캡(42)(43), 덮개부(44)를 포함하는 것이다.The filter assembly 40 purifies the water pumped by the pump 30, and includes a cylindrical portion 41, first and second caps 42 and 43, and a lid 44. .
상기 원통부(41)는 마크론 단위의 필터 삽입물(예; 카본블럭과 세디먼트)(미도시)이 삽입되는 제 1 유로(U1)를 형성하여둔 것이다.The cylindrical portion 41 forms a first flow path U1 into which a macromolecular filter insert (eg, carbon block and sediment) (not shown) is inserted.
즉, 상기 원통부(41)의 제 1 유로(U1)를 따라 물이 통과될 때, 상기 필터 삽입물을 거치면서 정화될 수 있는 것이다.That is, when water passes along the first flow path U1 of the cylindrical portion 41, it may be purified while passing through the filter insert.
여기서, 상기 제 1 유로(U1)에 상기 필터 삽입물을 채우게 되면, 상기 물은 상기 제 1 유로(U1)를 따라 상기 필터 삽입물을 100% 통과하게 되므로, 상기 물의 염소량과 탁도를 사람에게 제공하는 정수기와 동일하게 낮출 수 있는 것이다.Here, when the filter insert is filled in the first flow path U1, the water passes through the filter insert 100% along the first flow path U1, and thus provides a water purifier that provides the amount of chlorine and turbidity to the person. The same can be lowered.
즉, 물은 1차 정화된 이후에 상기 저장조(20)로 리턴 순환된 후 다시 펌핑되는 과정을 반복하게 되므로, 물의 염소량과 탁도를 서서히 낮출 수 있으며, 이에따라 종래 반려동물 전용의 정수기의 문제로서, 필터로 유입된 물의 100%가 필터 구성요소를 통과하지 못하는 구조를 갖고 있기 때문에 필터를 통해 배출된 물의 염소량과 탁도가 필터를 통과하기 전과 큰 차이를 갖고 있지 않은 문제를 개선할 수 있는 것이다.That is, since the water is repeatedly purified after the first cycle is returned to the reservoir 20 and then pumped again, the amount of chlorine and turbidity of the water can be gradually lowered, and accordingly, as a problem of the conventional water purifier for pets, Since 100% of the water entering the filter does not pass through the filter components, it is possible to improve the problem that the amount of chlorine and turbidity of the water discharged through the filter does not have a big difference from before passing through the filter.
상기 제 1 캡(42)은 상기 원통부(41) 하단에 결합되는 것으로, 상기 제 1 유로(U1)와 연통되는 제 2 유로(U2)를 형성하여둔 것이다.The first cap 42 is coupled to the lower end of the cylindrical portion 41, and forms a second flow path U2 communicating with the first flow path U1.

It is.
여기서, 첨부된 도 6 내지 도 8에서와 같이, 상기 음용대(50)에 포함되는 후술하는 내부몸체(52)의 내측 저면에는 제 2 결합부(52c)를 돌출 형성하고, 상기 제 2 결합부(52c)에는 상기 덮개부(44)가 안착되도록 하되, 상기 제 2 결합부(52c)의 내벽면에는 삽입영역(T1)과 체결영역(T2)을 돌출 형성하고, 상기 덮개부(44)의 외주면에는 상기 삽입영역(T1)으로 삽입된 후 회전을 통해 상기 체결영역(T2)으로 진입하여 걸림되는 고정돌기(44a)를 돌출 형성하였으며, 이는 반려동물 전용 정수기의 사용자가 여성인점을 고려하여 오링을 사용한 힘으로 삽입하는 일반적인 필터 삽입 구조가 아닌 회전 삽입 구조를 사용함으로써, 약한 힘으로도 필터 어셈블리(40)를 결합시킬 수 있도록 함은 물론 그 결합시 효과적인 방수 효과를 얻을 수 있도록 하기 위함인 것이다.6 to 8, the second coupling part 52c is formed on the inner bottom surface of the inner body 52 to be described later included in the drinking table 50, and the second coupling part is formed. Wherein the cover portion 44 is to be seated on (52c), the inner wall surface of the second coupling portion (52c) protruding to form the insertion region (T1) and the fastening region (T2), On the outer circumferential surface was inserted into the insertion region (T1) and then formed into a fixed projection (44a) to enter and engage the fastening region (T2) through the rotation, which is in consideration of the fact that the user of the pet water purifier is a female By using a rotational insertion structure rather than a general filter insertion structure to insert with O-ring force, it is possible not only to combine the filter assembly 40 with a weak force, but also to obtain an effective waterproofing effect during the combination. will be.
