Specific details for implementing the invention

[0021] Hereinafter, the most preferred embodiment of the present invention is described in detail to enable a person skilled in the art to easily practice the present invention. The reference numbers of the embodiments are not limited to designated numbers, and all numbers may be accepted. The configurations presented in the embodiments may be extended to objects that produce the same purpose and effect. Sub-concepts of the configurations presented in the embodiments may be deemed implied even if they are not explicitly stated.

[0023] [Example 1-1] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and specifically comprises a water collection unit (100) that discharges water to a pump (110); a water purification unit (200) that purifies the water discharged from the pump using a water purification device; and a water storage unit (300) that stores the purified water discharged from the water purification device in a storage container (310).

[0024] [Example 1-2] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 1-1, the water collection unit comprises a first discharge pipe (120) having one side located at a water supply source and the other side communicating with a water purification device; and a pump formed on one side or the middle side of the first discharge pipe.

[0025] [Examples 1-3] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 1-2, includes a pre-filter (130) located in the suction part of the pump and restricting the introduction of foreign substances.

[0026] [Examples 1-4] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 1-1, the water collection unit is formed as one or a plurality.

[0027] [Examples 1-5] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 1-1, includes a pump controller (140) that controls the rotational speed of the pump.

[0028] [Examples 1-6] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 1-1, includes a covering insulation layer (121) formed on the covering layer of the first discharge pipe.

[0029] [Examples 1-7] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 1-1, includes a coating heating element (122) formed on the coating layer of the first discharge pipe.

[0031] Examples 1-1 to 1-7 of the present invention (see FIGS. 1 and 2) relate to a water treatment device. Specifically, it comprises a water collection unit, a water purification unit, and a water storage unit. The water collection unit uses a pump to discharge water (groundwater, river water, lake water, etc.), the discharged water is purified by the water purification unit, and the purified water is stored in a storage container and supplied to a place of use.

[0032] The above pump is preferably located underwater, but may be located in the middle of the first discharge pipe as needed.

[0033] Since foreign substances such as sand, gravel, fallen leaves, and insects may be present in the water, a pre-filter in the shape of a mesh is installed at the inlet of the first discharge pipe.

[0034] To control the storage speed of the storage container, the pump can vary its rotational speed through a pump controller. Additionally, multiple collection sections can be formed and selectively driven as needed.

[0035] In winter, the first discharge pipe may freeze. This makes a smooth water supply impossible. To resolve this, a coating insulation layer is formed on the first discharge pipe, or a coating heating element is formed inside. Thus, the freezing of water in the first discharge pipe can be prevented. The coating heating element detects a signal from a temperature sensor and heats the heating wire.

[0036] In another embodiment, an ambient temperature measuring sensor (123) and a water temperature measuring sensor (124) are provided, and when the ambient temperature reaches a set temperature, water is filled or circulated in the direct supply pipe or the first discharge pipe to prevent freezing.

[0038] [Example 2-1] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 1-1, the device comprises a direct delivery pipe (410) connecting the pump and the storage container; a direct delivery valve (420) located in the direct delivery pipe and selectively opened and closed; and a direct delivery controller (430) that controls the direct delivery valve by a signal from a water level sensor (320) of the reservoir.

[0039] [Example 2-2] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 2-1, the water level sensor is located inside the storage container and includes an ultrasonic sensor (341) or a laser sensor (342) that detects the water surface.

[0040] [Example 2-3] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 2-1, the water level sensor includes a load sensor (343) mounted on the lower part of the storage container.

[0041] [Example 2-4] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 2-1, the water level sensor includes a water pressure sensor (344) mounted on the inner bottom of the storage container.

[0042] [Example 2-5] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 2-1, the water level sensor comprises: a floating body (345) floating on the water surface; a protruding rod (346) connected to the floating body and protruding outside the container; and a movement detection sensor (347) that detects the movement of the protruding rod.

[0043] [Example 2-6] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 2-1, the direct delivery pipe is formed as one or a plurality.

[0045] Examples 2-1 to 2-6 of the present invention (see FIG. 2 and FIG. 3) add a direct delivery unit to a water treatment device. The direct delivery unit consists of a direct delivery pipe, a direct delivery valve, and a direct delivery controller.

[0046] If the water level in the storage container drops rapidly, the point of use cannot receive water. To resolve this, water must be supplied to the storage container quickly.

[0047] To implement this, a direct delivery pipe, a direct delivery valve, and a direct delivery controller are required. The direct delivery pipe does not pass through the purification section but directly connects the collection section (pump) and the reservoir section (storage container).

[0048] A direct delivery valve is installed in the above direct delivery pipe, and the direct delivery valve is driven by a direct delivery controller. The direct delivery controller operates automatically by detecting a signal from a water level sensor of a storage container. Various water level sensors may be applied.

[0049] In one embodiment, a load sensor consisting of a load cell is mounted on the bottom of the storage container to detect the amount of water by weight and transmit a signal. Additionally, a water pressure sensor is mounted on the bottom inside the storage container to detect the water level based on water pressure and transmit water level information.

[0050] In addition, an ultrasonic sensor and a laser sensor are installed on the upper interior of the storage container to detect the length of the water surface and transmit water level information. Furthermore, a floating body and a protruding rod are formed on the water surface to detect the movement of the protruding rod and provide information. The protruding rod can have the effect of being visually detected by the user.

[0051] In one embodiment, the direct delivery controller detects a signal from a water level sensor, and when the signal from the water level sensor reaches a set value, it controls the operation of the direct delivery valve and the driving flow rate to the set value. Accordingly, it has the effect of selectively varying the degree of operation of the direct delivery valve according to the water level.

[0053] [Example 3-1] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 1-1, the water purification unit (200) is configured to include a filter water purifier (210) that physically purifies water; and an electroadsorption water purifier (220) that purifies primary purified water that has passed through the filter water purifier by electroadsorption.

[0054] [Example 3-2] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 3-1, the filter water purifier is formed in a plurality and includes a series arrangement.

[0055] [Example 3-3] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 3-2, the filter water purifier includes a hollow fiber membrane filter (211).

[0056] [Examples 3-4] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 3-1, the electroadsorption water purifier is formed in a plurality and includes a parallel arrangement.

[0057] [Examples 3-5] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 3-4, the electroadsorption water purifier comprises a first CDI filter (221) and a second CDI filter (222).

[0058] [Example 3-6] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 3-5, includes a filter controller (223) that controls the operation of the first CDI filter and the second CDI filter.

[0059] [Example 3-7] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 3-5, includes a current meter (224) for measuring the current signals of the first CDI filter and the second CDI filter.

[0060] [Example 3-8] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 3-1, includes a first ion amount detection sensor (231) mounted on the inlet of the electroadsorption water purifier.

[0061] [Example 3-9] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 3-1, includes a second ion amount detection sensor (232) mounted on the outlet of the electroadsorption water purifier.

[0063] Embodiments 3-1 to 3-9 of the present invention (see FIG. 4) embody a water purification device. The water purification device has a structure in which various water purification methods are arranged in series and also partially arranged in parallel.

[0064] In particular, filter water purifiers employ a physical purification method and utilize hollow fiber membrane filters. The aforementioned hollow fiber membrane filters purify water through fine pores using water pressure and are effective in removing microorganisms and turbidity-causing substances.

[0065] In particular, the CDI filters are formed in multiple units and arranged in parallel. The above-mentioned CDI (capacitive deionization) filters exhibit electrode polarity according to electric current, causing ion adsorption and ion desorption of water. Therefore, ions contained in the water can be separated.

[0066] CDI filters alternately discharge purified water and concentrated water depending on the change in polarity of the electrodes. Therefore, a continuous water purification process is impossible with a single device. To solve this, two CDI filters are arranged in parallel and operate alternately.

[0067] The current meter measures the current supplied to the CDI and provides the measured signal to the filter controller. The filter controller controls the supply flow rate according to the current value. The supply flow rate is controlled by the operation of the pump. This enables the optimal operation of the effective CDI filter.

[0068] As another embodiment, chlorine can be added to purified water. Chlorine can be supplied into the storage container by a chlorine injector.

[0070] [Example 4-1] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 3-1, the device comprises: a concentrated water container (410) that stores concentrated water and is in communication with the electro-adsorption water purifier; an electrolyzer (420) that electrolyzes concentrated water and is in communication with the concentrated water container; and a sterilized water container (430) that stores sterilized water and is in communication with the electrolyzer.

[0071] [Example 4-2] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 4-1, includes a washing machine (500) that discharges sterilized water from the sterilized water receiver and washes the storage container.

[0072] [Example 4-3] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 4-1, includes an electrolysis controller (421) that controls the operation of the electrolyzer.

[0074] Examples 4-1 to 4-3 of the present invention (see FIG. 5) embody a concentration unit as a post-treatment of a water purification unit. The concentration unit is composed of a concentration container, an electrolyzer, and a sterilization container.

[0075] The CDI filter generates purified water and concentrated water. The concentrated water is stored in a concentrated water container, and the purified water is stored in a storage container. The concentrated water produces sterilized water through electrolysis. The sterilized water is stored in a sterilized water container and is used for sterilizing storage containers, pipelines, etc. Additionally, since the concentrated water contains many minerals, it can be utilized in the agricultural sector.

[0076] In one embodiment, the storage container is sterilized by spraying sterilizing water at high pressure through a sterilizing water nozzle located inside the storage container, and the sprayed sterilizing water is discharged to the outside through a drain pipe. Additionally, after sterilization is completed, the sterilizing water can be discharged to the outside using purified water. This is accomplished by a washing machine.

[0077] To implement this, the washing machine positions a washing nozzle (510) inside a storage container, said washing nozzle is connected to a washing pipe, said washing pipe is connected to a sterilization container, said washing pipe is equipped with a washing pump (520), and a drain pipe and a drain valve are installed at the bottom of the storage container. This is implemented by a washing controller (530).

[0078] For complete cleaning of the storage container, an appropriate amount of sterilized water must be contained in the sterilized water container, and the electrolysis controller is operated only when necessary to generate the said sterilized water. That is, the electrolysis controller is operated by detecting the storage capacity of the sterilized water container.

[0080] [Example 5-1] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 1-1, the storage container (310) comprises: a storage space (S) in which purified water is stored; a discharge pipe (331) that communicates with the storage space and supplies purified water to a place of use; and a purified water supply pipe (332) that supplies purified water to the storage space.

[0081] It consists of a composition that includes.

[0082] [Example 5-2] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 5-1, includes an insulating layer (351) formed on the outside of the storage container.

[0083] [Example 5-3] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 5-1, includes a heater (352) formed inside and / or outside the storage container.

[0084] [Example 5-4] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 5-1, it comprises: an inclined surface (311) formed at the bottom of the storage container; a drain pipe (361) located at the bottom of the inclined surface; and a drain valve (362) formed in the drain pipe.

[0085] Examples 5-1 to 5-4 of the present invention (see FIG. 3) embody a storage container. The storage container of the present invention stores purified water and supplies purified water to a place of use. The storage container supplies purified water to a place of use through a discharge pipe and receives purified water from a purification unit through a water supply pipe.

[0086] If the above storage container freezes, it causes problems with the supply of purified water and its use. To solve this, an insulating layer is formed on the exterior of the storage container. The insulating layer prevents the purified water from cooling due to the external temperature. Additionally, the storage container can be heated to a set temperature as needed. That is, the heater can prevent cooling by heating the storage container or the purified water.

[0087] The lower part of the storage container is formed in a conical or inclined shape, and a drain pipe is formed at the bottom. The drain pipe is used to completely empty the storage container and its opening and closing are controlled by a drain valve.

[0088] The above storage containers are formed in multiple units, and when formed in multiple units, a large amount of purified water can be stored, each container can be cleaned, and the supply to the point of use can be prevented due to damage to the storage containers.

[0090] [Example 6-1] The present invention relates to a control system for a water treatment device, and in the embodiments presented above, it consists of a time-series procedure of: a sending step (S100) for sending water to a pump; a purification step (S200) for purifying water after the sending step; and a storage step (S300) for storing purified water after the purification step.

[0091] [Example 6-2] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 6-1, after the storage step, a water level detection step (S410) for detecting the water level of a storage container; after the water level detection step, a variable step (S420) for varying the discharge amount of a pump; and after the variable step, a direct delivery step (S430) for delivering water directly to a storage container.

[0094] [Example 6-5] The present invention relates to a water treatment device, and in Example 6-4, after the washing step, the storage container is washed with purified water (S640); after the washing step, the washing water is discharged to the outside of the storage container (S650).

[0095] Examples 6-1 to 6-5 of the present invention (see FIG. 6) are inventions relating to a water treatment control system. The present invention is an invention implemented by the operation of the object presented above, and thus is linked to the combination relationship of the configuration presented above.

[0096] The water treatment system comprises a discharge stage, a water purification stage, and a storage stage as major time-series steps. Following the storage stage, the system consists of a water level detection stage of the storage container and a direct discharge stage through a discharge pipe, and includes a variable stage that controls the discharge volume of the pump prior to the direct discharge stage. Accordingly, the direct discharge stage enables rapid filling of the storage container.

[0097] In another embodiment, the CDI filter is operated by an electric supply. Therefore, the input current is measured, and the CDI operating efficiency can be predicted by determining the current usage. That is, to achieve optimal operating efficiency, the flow rate control of the pump is synchronized.

[0098] In another embodiment, the concentrated water generated from the CDI filter is not disposed of but utilized for other purposes. To this end, an appropriate amount of concentrated water is stored, and the concentrated water is converted into sterilized water through electrolysis; the converted sterilized water can be used for sterilizing and cleaning storage containers, etc. This consists of a chronological procedure comprising a concentrated water storage step, a sterilized water conversion step, and a cleaning step. Additionally, a washing step is formed using the sterilized water, and the washed sterilized water is disposed of through a drain step. Explanation of the symbols
