Description

Kettle water purifier with pot overflow blocking The present invention relates to a kettle water purifier, and more specifically, to a kettle water purifier used as a pot. Recently, the use of water purifiers that provide cold or hot water has been increasing in homes and offices, and various types of water purifiers, such as those that dispense ice, are being developed to meet user demands. More recently, water purifiers that combine an electric kettle with a conventional model have also been developed, offering the advantage of providing boiled water separately from hot water. Furthermore, recently, a kettle-type water purifier is being developed that allows a user to supply purified water to an electric kettle by inputting commands through the water purifier control unit. However, in the above-mentioned type of kettle water purifier, when water is supplied via an electric kettle, water may be supplied continuously and cause the water to overflow in the kettle, or even if water is supplied in a fixed amount, water may overflow in the kettle when a certain amount of water has already been filled in the kettle. In this case, if the water in the above port overflows, it flows directly to the floor, and since a power supply for heating the above port is formed on the floor, it may be exposed to electrical danger.

Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Terms such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant technology, and should not be interpreted in an ideal or overly formal sense unless explicitly defined in this application. Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the attached drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a kettle water purifier according to one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the kettle water purifier (1) according to the present embodiment includes a main body (10) and a port (20). The main body (10) is formed in an overall rectangular column shape, and a storage space (15) is formed on the side, and the port (20) is stored in the storage space (15). The storage space (15) is formed in a shape corresponding to the outer shape of the port (20), and since the port (20) is formed in a rectangular column shape in this embodiment, it is preferable that the storage space (15) is also formed in a rectangular column shape, but is not limited thereto. The above main body (10) includes a water purification section (11), an upper section (12), a side section (13), a water support section (14), a water purification supply section (15), a control section (16), a power supply section (17), and a water purification outlet section (18).
