정수기용 살균장치{SANITIZING APPARATUS FOR A WATER PURIFIER}Sterilizer for water purifier {SANITIZING APPARATUS FOR A WATER PURIFIER}

본 발명은 가정용 정수기 등에 이용하는 살균장치에 관한 것으로, 구체적으로 급수유로 상에 전기분해셀을 구성하여 정수된 급수를 전기분해하여 용존오존, 활성산소이온 등의 복합산화물질을 용존시킨 후 저수조로 송출하며, 복합산화물질 용존수와 동시에 토출되는 오존가스에 의하여 저수조, 정수 및 저수조 상부 공간을 살균하며, 저수조 내부에는 활성탄이 충진된 필터분리판을 설치하여 정수의 잔류 용존오존 등 복합산화물질을 흡착,분해하는 정수기용 살균장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a sterilization apparatus for use in household water purifiers, and more particularly, by forming an electrolysis cell on a water supply passage, electrolyzing purified water to dissolve complex oxides such as dissolved ozone and active oxygen ions, and then sending the resultant to a water tank. It sterilizes the reservoir, purified water and the upper space of the reservoir by ozone gas discharged simultaneously with the composite oxide dissolved water, and installs the filter separator plate filled with activated carbon inside the reservoir to adsorb the composite oxide such as residual dissolved ozone of the purified water. The present invention relates to a sterilizer for water purifiers to be decomposed.

도 1에서 보는 바와 같이 통상의 냉온수 정수기는 수전(1)으로부터 급수되어 여러 단계의 정수필터(2)를 거친 후 급수플로트밸브(3)를 통하여 저수조(4)로 정수가 송출되도록 구성된다. 저수조(4) 내에 냉온수 분리판(6)이 구성되어 있으며, 저수조(4)의 정수는 하부의 냉수조(5)와 온수조(7)로 공급된다. 사용자의 조작에 따라 냉수를 선택하거나, 온수를 선택하고 코크(10)를 누르면 냉수밸브(8), 또는 온수밸브(9)가 열리면서 냉정수 또는 온정수가 코크(10)를 통하여 출수된다. 이와 같은 통상의 정수기의 저수조(4)는 항상 고습환경이 유지되며, 통기구멍(4-1)이 형성되어 외부공기가 쉽게 유입될 수 있다. 이때 부유성 세균이 유입되면, 상온의 다습한 환경 하에서 세균은 급속도로 증식할 수 있다. 즉, 정수기의 다단계 정수필터로써 여과된 정수일지라도 저수조의 구조적인 문제로 인하여 세균오염이 빈번하게 발생하며, 최근 들어 공공장소에 설치된 정수기의 세균오염문제가 해마다 보고되고 있으나, 적절한 대응방안이 제시되지 않은 실정이다. 따라서 정수된 물의 파이프 라인을 비롯하여 저수조 전체의 살균을 위한 방안이 필요하다.As shown in FIG. 1, a typical cold / hot water purifier is configured to feed water from the faucet 1 to the water reservoir 4 through the water supply valve 3 after passing through the water filter 2 in several stages. The cold / hot water separator 6 is comprised in the water storage tank 4, and the purified water of the water storage tank 4 is supplied to the cold water tank 5 and the hot water tank 7 of the lower part. When cold water is selected according to a user's operation, or when hot water is selected and the coke 10 is pressed, the cold water valve 8 or the hot water valve 9 is opened, and the cold or warm water is discharged through the coke 10. The water storage tank 4 of the conventional water purifier is always maintained in a high humidity environment, the vent hole (4-1) is formed so that the outside air can be easily introduced. At this time, when the floating bacteria are introduced, the bacteria can rapidly grow in a humid environment at room temperature. In other words, even if the purified water is filtered by the multi-stage water filter of the water purifier, bacterial contamination occurs frequently due to the structural problems of the water tank. Recently, the bacterial contamination of the water purifier installed in public places has been reported every year, but appropriate countermeasures have not been suggested. It is not true. Therefore, a method for sterilization of the entire reservoir including a pipeline of purified water is needed.

따라서, 본 발명은 전술한 문제점을 고려하여, 급수유로 상에 전기분해 셀을 구성하여 정수된 급수를 전기분해하여 용존오존 등의 복합산화물질을 용존시킴으로써 급수를 살균함과 동시에 토출되는 오존가스에 의하여 저수조 내 공간을 살균하며, 저수조 내부에는 활성탄 필터가 구성된 분리판을 설치하여 잔류 용존오존 등을 분해하는 정수기용 살균장치를 제공한다.Therefore, in view of the above-described problems, the present invention constitutes an electrolysis cell on a water supply passage to electrolyze purified water to dissolve complex oxides such as dissolved ozone to sterilize the water supply and to discharge the ozone gas at the same time. By disinfecting the space in the water tank, and installing a separator plate consisting of activated carbon filter in the water tank provides a sterilizer for water purifier to decompose the residual dissolved ozone.

본 발명의 일관점에 따른 전기분해셀(100)은 양전극(101); 음전극(102); 절연스페이서 (103); 셀하우징(CELL HOUSING)(104); 입수구(105); 출수구(106);를 포함하고 입수구를 통하여 정수가 유입될 때 양전극과 음전극 양단 간에 직류전원을 인가하여 전기분해 셀을 통과하는 물을 전기분해 한다. 통상의 정수를 전기분해함으로써 양극반응으로써 용존오존을 중심으로 하는 복합산화물질이 발생되며, 특히 용존오존은 저수조 정수 내에 존재하는 세균의 세포막을 파괴함으로써 살균기능을 발휘한다. 또한 정수의 전기분해 시 발생하는 오존가스 중 용존되지 않은 기상 오존은 정수와 함께 저수조에 송출되어 저수조의 상부 공간에 채워지며, 저수조 상부 공간에 존재하는 세균을 상기의 방법으로 살균한다. Electrolysis cell 100 according to the consistent point of the present invention is a positive electrode (101); Negative electrode 102; Insulating spacer 103; CELL HOUSING 104; Inlet 105; It comprises a water outlet (106); and when the purified water flows through the inlet to apply a direct current power between the positive electrode and the negative electrode to electrolyze the water passing through the electrolysis cell. Electrolytic decomposition of ordinary purified water produces a complex oxide mainly around the dissolved ozone as an anodic reaction, and in particular, the dissolved ozone exerts a sterilizing function by destroying the cell membranes of bacteria present in the reservoir water purification. In addition, gaseous ozone that is not dissolved in ozone gas generated during electrolysis of purified water is sent to the reservoir with purified water and filled in the upper space of the reservoir, and sterilizes bacteria present in the reservoir upper space by the above method.

한편, 본 발명의 구성으로서 필터분리판(200)은, 분리판본체(201); 분리판 커버(202); 활성탄(203);을 포함하고 저수조 내의 용존오존 중 반응하지 않고 잔류된 오존을 제거하여 오존취가 나지 않도록 한다. 그 원리는 활성탄의 표면에 존재하는 다공성의 흡착층에 오존이 흡착된 후 활성산소 이온이 분리되면서 산소분자로 분해되는 과정이 진행된다.On the other hand, the filter separation plate 200 as a configuration of the present invention, the separation plate body 201; Separator plate 202; Activated charcoal 203; and removes ozone remaining without reacting in the dissolved ozone in the reservoir to prevent the smell of ozone. The principle is that ozone is adsorbed on the porous adsorption layer on the surface of activated carbon, and then active oxygen ions are separated to decompose oxygen molecules.

전술한 바와 같이, 본 발명의 전기분해셀에 의하면, 정수기의 필터링 단계를 거쳐서 입수되는 정수를 전기분해하여 용존오존을 위주로 하는 복합산화물질을 용존시키고, 용존되지 않은 오존가스와 함께 저수조로 송출하여 저수조의 정수와 저수조 상부 공간 내에 존재하는 세균의 세포막을 직접 파괴함으로써 살균할 수 있으며, 잔류하는 오존가스로 인하여 저수조 상부 공간의 살균상태를 유지할 수 있다. 또한, 살균된 정수를 음용 시 오존취가 나지 않도록 저수조 내부에 활성탄 필터층을 구성한 분리판에 의하여 잔류된 용존오존을 제거가 가능하다As described above, according to the electrolysis cell of the present invention, the purified water obtained through the filtering step of the water purifier is electrolyzed to dissolve the complex oxide mainly in the dissolved ozone, and sent to the reservoir with the dissolved ozone gas. Sterilization is possible by directly destroying the cell membranes of the bacteria present in the water purification tank and the upper space of the reservoir, and the sterilization state of the upper space of the reservoir can be maintained due to the remaining ozone gas. In addition, it is possible to remove the dissolved ozone remaining by the separating plate constituting the activated carbon filter layer inside the water tank so that ozone odor is not generated when drinking the sterilized purified water.

전술한 목적, 특징들 및 장점은 첨부된 도면과 관련한 다음의 실시 예를 통하여 보다 분명해질 것이다. 이하, 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 본 발명의 구체적인 실시예를 상세히 설명한다.The foregoing objects, features, and advantages will become more apparent from the following embodiments taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 정수기용 살균장치는 도 2와 같이 통상의 냉온수 정수기의 구성에서 정수필터(2)와 급수플로트밸브(3) 사이의 급수유로 상에 전기분해셀(100)과 플로우센서(110)를 추가로 구성하며, 상기의 전기분해셀(100)은 도 3에 나타난 바와 같이 양전극(101); 음전극(102); 절연스페이서 (103); 셀하우징(104); 입수구(105); 출수구(106);를 포함하고, 저수조(4) 내에 냉온수분리판 대신 구성된 필터분리판(200)은, 도 4와 같이 분리판 본체(201); 분리판 커버(202); 활성탄(203);을 포함한다.Sterilizer for a water purifier according to an embodiment of the present invention flows with the electrolysis cell 100 on the feed passage between the water filter (2) and the feed water float valve (3) in the configuration of a typical cold and hot water purifier as shown in FIG. The sensor 110 is further configured, and the electrolysis cell 100 includes a positive electrode 101 as shown in FIG. 3; Negative electrode 102; Insulating spacer 103; Cell housing 104; Inlet 105; The filter separator 200 including a water outlet 106, and configured in place of the cold / hot water separator in the reservoir 4, includes a separator main body 201; Separator plate 202; Activated carbon (203); includes.

본 발명의 동작을 상세히 설명하면, 수전(1)에서 여러 단계의 정수필터(2)를 거쳐서 정수되는 과정은 종전 기술과 동일하지만, 정수의 유동이 플로우센서(110)에 의하여 감지되면 정수기의 제어회로(미도시)에 의하여 전기분해셀(100)의 양전극(101)과 음전극(102) 사이에 통상 수십볼트 이하의 소정의 직류가 인가된다. 양전극(101)과 음전극(102) 사이에는 단락을 방지하기 위하여 절연스페이서(103)가 구성되어 있으며, 정수 중에 존재하는 무기물 이온과 같은 전해질의 이동에 의하여 양전극(101)에서 음전극(102)으로 전하이동, 즉 전류가 흐른다. 이때 다음과 같은 전기분해 반응으로 인하여 양전극(102)의 표면에서는 오존, 활성산소이온 등의 복합산화물질이 발생되어 정수에 용존되며, 음전극(102)의 표면에서는 수소가 발생되어 용존된다.Referring to the operation of the present invention in detail, the process of water purification in the faucet 1 through the water filter (2) of several stages is the same as in the prior art, the control of the water purifier when the flow of purified water is detected by the flow sensor 110 A predetermined direct current of tens of volts or less is normally applied between the positive electrode 101 and the negative electrode 102 of the electrolysis cell 100 by a circuit (not shown). An insulating spacer 103 is formed between the positive electrode 101 and the negative electrode 102 to prevent a short circuit, and is charged from the positive electrode 101 to the negative electrode 102 by the movement of an electrolyte such as inorganic ions present in purified water. Movement, i.e. current flows. At this time, due to the following electrolysis reaction, complex oxides such as ozone and active oxygen ions are generated on the surface of the positive electrode 102 and dissolved in purified water, and hydrogen is generated and dissolved on the surface of the negative electrode 102.

2H₂O = O₂ + 4e- + 4H+ 2H₂O = O₂ + 4e- + 4H +

O₂+ H₂O = (O₃)(aq) + 2e- + 2H+(용존오존반응) O₂ + H₂O = (O₃) (aq) + 2e- + 2H + (dissolved ozone reaction)

2H₂O = OH- + 3H+ + O- + e- (활성산소이온반응) 2H₂O = OH- + 3H + + O- + e- (active oxygen ion reaction)

2H+ + 2e- = H₂(수소반응) 2H + + 2e- = H₂ (hydrogen reaction)

한편, 양극반응으로서 발생된 오존 중 일부는 용존되지 못하고 오존가스 상태로 정수와 섞여서 배출된다. 이상의 설명과 같이 정수가 전기분해셀(100)의 셀하우징(104) 일측에 구성된 입수구(105)를 통하여 유입된 후 양전극(101)과 음전극(102) 주위를 통과하는 동안, 전기분해 반응에 의하여 발생된 용존오존을 비롯하여 활성산소이온 등이 정수에 녹아들며, 오존가스가 정수에 섞인 상태로 출수구(106)를 통하여 배출되고, 급수플로트밸브(3)을 통하여 저수조(4)로 토출된다.On the other hand, some of the ozone generated as anodic reaction is not dissolved and is discharged by mixing with purified water in ozone gas state. As described above, the purified water flows through the inlet 105 configured at one side of the cell housing 104 of the electrolysis cell 100 and then passes around the positive electrode 101 and the negative electrode 102. The generated dissolved ozone, active oxygen ions, etc. are dissolved in the purified water, discharged through the water outlet 106 in a state where ozone gas is mixed with the purified water, and discharged into the water storage tank 4 through the water supply float valve 3.

저수조(4)는 상부의 통기구멍(4-1)을 통하여 공기 중의 부유세균이 유입되어 내벽 및 정수 내에 세균이 쉽게 증식할 수 있으며, 오존은 잘 알려진 바와 같이 세균의 세포막을 짧은 시간 내에 파괴함으로써 탁월한 살균기능을 발휘한다. 즉, 저수조(4)로 토출된 정수 내에 용존된 용존오존, 활성산소이온 등의 복합산화물질은 정수 내에 존재하는 세균을 살균하며, 정수에 섞여서 토출된 용존되지 않은 오존가스는 저수조(4)의 상부 공간에 채워지며, 저수조 상부 공간과 내벽에 존재하는 세균을 상기의 방법으로 살균한다.In the reservoir 4, airborne bacteria are introduced into the air through the upper vent hole 4-1, and bacteria can easily grow in the inner wall and the purified water. As is well known, ozone destroys the cell membrane of bacteria in a short time. Excellent sterilization function. That is, the complex ozone dissolved in the purified water discharged into the reservoir 4, the active oxide ion, etc., the composite oxides sterilize the bacteria present in the purified water, and the dissolved dissolved ozone gas discharged by mixing the purified water into the reservoir 4 Filled in the upper space, bacteria existing in the reservoir upper space and the inner wall are sterilized by the above method.

정수에 녹아있는 용존오존 중 살균과정 후 잔류오존의 반감기는 약 15분 정도로 일정 시간이 경과하면 정수 내의 오존은 대부분 산소분자로 분해된다. 그러나 정수기의 사용이 빈번할 경우 잔류오존이 포함된 정수가 코크(10)를 통하여 배출될 수 있으며, 용존오존은 음용에 무해하지만 오존취를 맡을 수 있으므로 잔류오존을 제거하는 방안으로서 저수조(4) 내에 필터분리판(200)을 구성한다. 즉, 정수 중의 잔류오존을 포함한 정수가 냉수조(5)로 하강할 때 필터분리판(200)의 분리판커버 (202)에 형성된 타공을 통해 분리판본체(201)의 활성탄(203)층을 통과한다. 정수 중의 잔류오존은 전량 활성탄 표면에 형성된 흡착층에 흡착 후 산소분자로 분해되므로 잔류오존이 완전히 제거된 상태로 냉수조(5)로 하강한다. 필터분리판(200)의 중앙 유로를 통하여 온수조(7)로 하강하는 정수에는 잔류오존이 존재하지만, 고온의 온수조에서는 잔류오존이 곧 산소분자로 분해되므로 별도의 방안이 필요없다.Of the dissolved ozone dissolved in purified water, the half-life of residual ozone after sterilization is about 15 minutes, and most of the ozone in the purified water is decomposed into oxygen molecules. However, if the water purifier is frequently used, purified water containing residual ozone may be discharged through the coke (10), and the dissolved ozone is harmless to drinking but can take ozone, so as to remove the residual ozone as a means of removing the reservoir (4). The filter separating plate 200 is configured in the inside. That is, when the purified water including residual ozone in the purified water descends into the cold water tank 5, it passes through the activated carbon 203 layer of the separating plate body 201 through the perforations formed in the separating plate cover 202 of the filter separating plate 200. do. Since the residual ozone in the purified water is decomposed into oxygen molecules after adsorption to the adsorption layer formed on the surface of the activated carbon in its entirety, it is lowered to the cold water tank 5 with the residual ozone completely removed. The residual ozone exists in the purified water descending to the hot water tank 7 through the central flow path of the filter separation plate 200, but in the hot water tank, the residual ozone is decomposed into oxygen molecules.

상기의 과정을 거쳐서 완전히 살균상태가 유지된 정수가 냉수조(5) 및 온수조(7)에 저장될 수 있으며, 사용자의 선택에 따라 코크(10)를 통하여 냉정수 또는 온정수가 토출되는 것은 종전 기술과 같다.Through the above process, the purified water maintained completely sterilized may be stored in the cold water tank 5 and the hot water tank 7, and the cold or warm water is discharged through the coke 10 according to the user's choice. It's like technology.

이상에서 설명한 본 발명은 전술한 실시예 및 첨부된 도면에 의하여 한정되는 것은 아니고, 본 발명의 기술적 사상을 벗어나지 않는 범위 내에서 여러 가지 치환, 변형 및 변경이 가능함은 본 발명이 속하는 기술분야에서 통상의 지식을 가진 자에게 있어서 명백할 것이다.The present invention described above is not limited to the above-described embodiment and the accompanying drawings, and various substitutions, modifications, and changes are possible within the scope without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention.
