KR-20260062659-A - Electric port water purifier with automatic temperature control function and its control method

Abstract

An electric kettle water purifier with a detachable electric kettle equipped with a temperature sensor for detecting the internal water temperature, and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. The method for controlling the electric kettle water purifier with a detachable electric kettle includes the steps of: receiving a desired target water output amount and a target temperature for heating; determining whether water that has passed through the filter has been supplied to the electric kettle in the amount of the target flow rate selected by the water output amount button; and if the amount of water supplied to the electric kettle has been the target flow rate, the control unit heating the electric kettle. In an embodiment of the present invention, purified water can be supplied to the electric kettle (200) and heated to a desired temperature with a single button operation.

1. As a detachable electric kettle water purifier equipped with a temperature sensor that detects the internal water temperature, entity; A multi-stage filter that purifies ordinary tap water introduced into the main body; A button unit that receives a user's selection, including a water volume button for selecting the water volume and a temperature selection button for selecting the temperature; and a flow sensor that detects the flow rate supplied to the electric kettle. A control unit that, after the electric kettle is installed, when a desired target temperature is input from the temperature selection button, supplies water that has passed through the filter to the electric kettle in an amount selected by the water output amount button, and controls the electric kettle to heat up to the target temperature by applying power; A water supply unit for supplying purified water that has passed through the filter to an electric kettle according to the control of the above control unit; A heating device including a heater that heats the water of the electric kettle according to the control of the above-mentioned control unit, and Buzzer that outputs a buzzer sound; It further includes a display unit that displays information, and The control unit is characterized by outputting a buzzer sound through the buzzer when the target temperature is reached, and notifying the user through the display unit that heating is complete. A drip tray for collecting water that is discarded or naturally dripping; It further includes a water overflow detection sensor (192) that detects water overflow, and The water overflow detection sensor detects the overflow when water overflows, and the control unit sounds the buzzer, characterized in that. An electric kettle water purifier equipped with an automatic temperature control function, characterized in that the control unit continuously applies power to the heating device until it reaches a temperature approximately 20°C lower than the target temperature for accurate temperature control, and thereafter applies power for only 1 to 5 seconds depending on the water volume and upward slope, then monitors the upward slope with the port power cut off for 3 to 10 seconds, determines whether to perform additional heating, and reaches the corresponding temperature.

Description

Electric port water purifier with automatic temperature control function and its control method The present invention relates to an electric kettle water purifier, and more specifically, to an electric kettle water purifier equipped with an automatic temperature control function that enables supplying purified water to an electric kettle and heating it to a desired temperature with a single button operation, and a method for controlling the same. A water supply device is a device capable of supplying water stored in a tank to a user, and is generally commercialized as a water chiller, water purifier, or hot and cold water purifier. Generally, a hot and cold water purifier consists of a main body, a multi-stage filter that purifies ordinary tap water introduced into the main body, a storage tank located at the top of the main body for storing purified water that has passed through the filter, a cold water tank and a hot water tank into which the water collected in the storage tank flows, a cooling device including a compressor for cooling the water inside the cold water tank, a heating device including a heater for heating the water inside the hot water tank, a cold water outlet and a hot water outlet connected to the cold water tank and hot water tank, respectively, and protruding outward to supply cold or hot water, and a water collection container for collecting water that is discarded or naturally drips. Korean Patent No. 10-0495863 (hereinafter, prior art) provides a cold and hot water purifier that cools the water inside a cold water tank (102) and heats the water inside the hot water tank (103) through a heater (106) in contact with the hot water tank (103) to discharge the cooled cold water and the heated hot water, respectively. In addition, the above-described conventional invention arranges the cold water tank (102) and the hot water tank (103) side by side on the upper inner side of the case (100), and connects a water inlet pipe (107) to the upper side between them so that purified water flows through the upper side of the cold water tank (102) to the hot water tank (103). However, when using a hot water tank as described above, hot water can only be used after approximately 30 minutes have passed since power was applied, and there is a problem in that it is difficult to control the amount of hot water and the temperature of the hot water. In addition, there is a problem in that the amount of hot water actually available for consumer use is limited due to the influx of low-temperature water during the process of dispensing heated hot water. In particular, there is a problem of energy waste due to increased power consumption resulting from the constant operation of the hot water tank. In addition, conventionally, when using an electric kettle, the user must manually fill it with the desired amount of water and then activate the heating or warming function. In addition, conventionally, when water at 40 to 50°C is required for washing powdered milk or fruits and vegetables, there is the inconvenience of having to boil it to 100°C and then let it cool before use for hygiene purposes.
