CN-121990736-A - Water purifying device

Abstract

The invention provides a water purifying device. The use of two substrates for a substrate provided with a communication unit and a separate substrate provided with functions other than the communication unit leads to an increase in manufacturing cost. In a water purifying device for ejecting water passing through a plurality of consumable cartridges, a plurality of communication units for performing wireless communication with RF tags included in the consumable cartridges are provided on a substrate, and the consumable cartridges are configured to be attachable, and the communication units are provided in correspondence with the RF tags included in the consumable cartridges.

Description

Water purifying device The application relates to a divisional application, the application number of the main application is 2023800224705, the application date is 2023, 02 and 08, and the application is named as a water purifying device. Technical Field The present invention relates to a water purifying apparatus. Background Water is one of the most important substances for human survival, and the quality of water taken in daily life can be said to be about the health of the human body. Therefore, it is extremely important to ingest as little water as possible, i.e., clean water, of impurities that are not suitable for drinking (hereinafter, referred to as "impurities") on a flat basis, for the purpose of healthy daily life. For this reason, conventionally, water purifying apparatuses have been widely used in various fields such as ordinary households and restaurants, in which water supplied from tap water or the like is introduced into the apparatus and purified and then the water is discharged. Further, according to the water purifier dedicated to the water purifying function in such a water purifying apparatus, the inclusion can be removed as much as possible, and thus the water can be suitably used for daily use. In addition, in an apparatus capable of generating electrolyzed water, that is, an electrolyzed water generator, which has a function of electrolyzing water in a water purifying apparatus, in addition to removing foreign substances, a component (electrolysis auxiliary component) for promoting electrolysis of water is added to purified water or the like, so that water having more excellent functionality can be generated. In general, in water purifying apparatuses having a water purifying function and an electrolysis function such as a water purifier and an electrolytic water generator, a filter material such as activated carbon, a filter cartridge, which is required for purifying water, or a component corresponding to so-called consumable parts such as an electrolysis auxiliary component is used as a cartridge, and the consumable cartridge can be replaced at the user level. Accordingly, the user appropriately replaces the consumable cartridge based on, for example, a notification from the water purifier, depending on the degree of deterioration of various filter materials, the degree of consumption of the consumable material such as reduction of the electrolytic auxiliary component, and the like. Of course, in order to fully exert the original functions of the water purifier, it is preferable to use a consumable cartridge recommended by the manufacturer of the water purifier (hereinafter, also referred to as a genuine cartridge) for replacement of a new consumable cartridge. However, in practice, the same consumable cartridge (hereinafter also referred to as a non-genuine cartridge) is supplied to the market from the third party, and there are some cases where the effect required for the consumable cartridge such as the water purifying effect is suspicious or is a rough product. Accordingly, a water purifying apparatus has been conventionally known in which a communication unit for communicating with an RF tag is provided in a water purifying apparatus main body, and an RFID system is configured by providing an RF tag that stores unique information (ID information) that can be recognized as an authentic filter cartridge to the authentic filter cartridge (for example, refer to patent document 1). According to such a water purifier, ID information is attempted to be acquired between the water purifier and a consumable cartridge mounted via an RFID system, and if the ID information is acquired, it is determined that the cartridge is authentic, and normal operation is performed, but if the ID information is not acquired, the water purifier can be used as a device to which a non-authentic cartridge is mounted, and a warning or the like can be notified to a user via a display or the like, thereby prompting a user to call attention. Prior art literature Patent literature Patent document 1 Japanese patent application laid-open No. 2017-051891 Disclosure of Invention Problems to be solved by the invention In the conventional water purifying device, the substrate provided with the communication unit and the separate substrate provided with the function other than the communication unit are provided, and the two substrates are used, which increases the manufacturing cost. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a water purifier in which a plurality of communication units for receiving information of RF tags of a plurality of consumable parts cartridges are provided on a substrate, thereby suppressing an increase in manufacturing cost due to the number of substrates.
