Water purifier and hot water tank for water purifier

Abstract

The invention provides a water purifier and a hot water tank for a water purifier. More specifically, the hot water tank for a water purifier includes a water tank cover which is made of resin materials and has a water inlet portion into which water flows and a water outlet portion for discharging water, a water tank base which is made of resin materials and is combined with the water tank cover to form a hot water storage space, and a heating plate which is arranged on the water tank base to form a part of the hot water storage space and is made of a plate-shaped metal material. The heating plate is arranged at a predetermined interval from working coils that generate magnetic force at the time of power supply to generate heat during operation of the working coils to heat the water insidethe hot water storage space.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a water purifier and a hot water tank for the water purifier. Background technique [0002] Generally, a water purifier is a device for removing impurities by filtering water, and is widely used in households. [0003] Household water purifiers are connected to water pipes, use filters to remove suspended solids and harmful components contained in tap water, and are configured to purify and extract a required amount of water according to user operations. [0004] Such household water purifiers are marketed with various products, which can take out not only clean water but also hot and cold water. And, in recent years, water purifiers that are small in size and can be installed in various installation environments have been developed. Recently, a water purifier capable of supplying hot water by heating purified water with a heater while being housed in a water tank has been developed. [0005] Typically, Korean Laid-Open Pate...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, in this prior art, it is difficult to form and process a closed type container containing purified water, so there is a limit to the achievable shape

[0007] In addition, in order to form the heating flow path, it is necessary to perform a welding process for joining metal materials, but there is a problem that productivity decreases, such as an increase in cost and working time due to the welding process.

Also, due to the change in the properties of the metal material during the welding process, the corrosion resistance is lowered, which is a serious problem that leads to a lower quality of purified water

[0008] Also, since the heating flow path of metallic materials is prone to plastic deformation, an additional structure is required to prevent plastic deformation
