수처리장치의 제1실시예First embodiment of water treatment apparatus

이하, 도1 내지 도10을 참조로 하여 본 발명에 따른 수처리장치(100)의 제1실시예에 대하여 설명한다.1 to 10, a first embodiment of the water treatment apparatus 100 according to the present invention will be described.

도1은 본 발명에 따른 수처리장치의 제1실시예를 나타내는 도면이며, 도2 내지 도10은 본 발명에 따른 수처리장치의 제1실시예의 작동을 나타내는 도면이다.1 is a view showing a first embodiment of a water treatment apparatus according to the present invention, Figures 2 to 10 are views showing the operation of the first embodiment of the water treatment apparatus according to the present invention.

본 발명에 따른 수처리장치(100)의 제1실시예는 여과부(200), 저장부(300), 살균수 생성부(400) 및, 배출부재(500)를 포함할 수 있다.The first embodiment of the water treatment apparatus 100 according to the present invention may include a filtration unit 200, a storage unit 300, a sterilizing water generator 400, and a discharge member 500.

여과부(200)에서는 원수를 여과할 수 있다.In the filtration unit 200, raw water may be filtered.

이를 위해서, 여과부(200)는 도1에 도시된 바와 같이 원수공급라인(L1)에 의해서 수도나 원수저장탱크 등의 원수공급원(도시되지 않음)에 연결될 수 있다. 또한, 여과부(200)는 원수를 여과하는 정수필터를 포함할 수 있다.To this end, the filtration unit 200 may be connected to a raw water supply source (not shown) such as tap water or raw water storage tank by the raw water supply line (L1) as shown in FIG. In addition, the filtration unit 200 may include a water filter for filtering raw water.

여과부(200)에 포함되는 정수필터는 복수개일 수 있다. 복수개의 정수필터는, 예컨대 도1에 도시된 바와 같이 전처리 필터(210)와 멤브레인필터(220) 및 후카본필터(230)를 포함할 수 있다.There may be a plurality of water filters included in the filtration unit 200. For example, the plurality of water filters may include a pretreatment filter 210, a membrane filter 220, and a post carbon filter 230, as shown in FIG. 1.

그러나, 복수개의 정수필터는 특별히 한정되지 않고, 원수를 여과할 수 있는 정수필터라면 어떠한 것이라도 가능하다.However, the plurality of water purification filters are not particularly limited, and any water purification filter may be used as long as the water purification filter capable of filtering raw water.

전처리 필터(210)는, 예컨대 종래의 침전필터와 선카본필터가 복합된 것일 수 있지만, 별도로 구성되는 것도 가능하며, 전처리 필터(210)의 구성은 특별히 한정되지 않고, 원수를 여과하는 구성이라면 주지의 어떠한 구성이라도 가능하다.The pretreatment filter 210 may be a combination of a conventional sedimentation filter and a sun carbon filter, for example, but may be configured separately. The configuration of the pretreatment filter 210 is not particularly limited, and it is well known as long as it filters the raw water. Any configuration of is possible.

전처리 필터(210)는 전술한 원수공급라인(L1)에 연결될 수 있다. 이에 따라, 원수공급라인(L1)에 의해서 여과부(200)에 유입된 원수공급원의 원수는 도2에 도시된 바와 같이 전처리 필터(210)에 의해서 먼저 여과될 수 있다.The pretreatment filter 210 may be connected to the above-described raw water supply line (L1). Accordingly, the raw water of the raw water supply source introduced into the filtration unit 200 by the raw water supply line L1 may be first filtered by the pretreatment filter 210 as shown in FIG. 2.

멤브레인필터(220)는 전처리 필터(210)에 의해서 여과된 정수를 더 여과할 수 있다. 예컨대, 전처리 필터(210)에서는 비교적 큰 이물질이 여과되고 멤브레인필터(220)에서는 비교적 작은 이물질이 여과될 수 있다.The membrane filter 220 may further filter the purified water filtered by the pretreatment filter 210. For example, a relatively large foreign material may be filtered in the pretreatment filter 210 and a relatively small foreign material may be filtered in the membrane filter 220.

이를 위해서, 멤브레인필터(220)는 정수라인(L2,L3)에 의해서 전처리 필터(210)에 연결될 수 있다. 또한, 정수라인(L2)에는 원수차단밸브(NOS)가 구비되고, 정수라인(L3)에는 피드밸브(FV1)가 구비될 수 있다. 그러나, 원수의 유입을 차단할 수 있다면, 원수차단밸브(NOS)의 구비위치는 특별히 한정되지는 않는다.To this end, the membrane filter 220 may be connected to the pretreatment filter 210 by water purification lines (L2, L3). In addition, a raw water shutoff valve NOS may be provided in the purified water line L2, and a feed valve FV1 may be provided in the purified water line L3. However, if the inflow of the raw water can be blocked, the position of the raw water shutoff valve NOS is not particularly limited.

이에 따라, 도2에 도시된 바와 같이 원수차단밸브(NOS)가 열리면, 원수공급원의 원수가 전처리 필터(210)에 유입되어 여과되고, 피드밸브(FV1)가 열리면 전처리 필터(210)에서 여과된 정수가 멤브레인필터(220)에 유입되어 여과될 수 있다.Accordingly, when the raw water shutoff valve NOS is opened as shown in FIG. 2, the raw water from the raw water supply source is introduced into the pretreatment filter 210 and filtered, and when the feed valve FV1 is opened, the filtered water is filtered by the pretreatment filter 210. The purified water may flow into the membrane filter 220 and be filtered.

멤브레인필터(220)는, 예컨대 유입된 물의 일부는 여과되고 나머지는 여과되지 못하여 생활용수로서 외부로 배수되는 역삼투압 멤브레인필터일 수 있다.The membrane filter 220 may be, for example, a reverse osmosis membrane filter in which a part of the inflowed water is filtered and the other is not filtered, and thus is drained to the outside as living water.

이 경우, 멤브레인필터(220)에는 도1에 도시된 바와 같이 생활용수라인(L10)이 연결될 수 있다. 그리고, 생활용수라인(L10)에는 멤브레인필터(220)에 소정 압력이 유지되도록 하면서 생활용수가 외부로 배수되도록 하는 생활용수밸브(DV)가 구비될 수 있다. 또한, 생활용수라인(L10)은 메인드레인라인(DL1)에 연결될 수 있다.In this case, the water filter line L10 may be connected to the membrane filter 220 as shown in FIG. 1. In addition, the living water line (L10) may be provided with a living water valve (DV) to allow the living water to be drained to the outside while maintaining a predetermined pressure in the membrane filter 220. In addition, the living water line L10 may be connected to the main drain line DL1.

이에 따라, 멤브레인필터(220)에서 여과되지 못한 생활용수는 도2에 도시된 바와 같이 생활용수밸브(DV)와 생활용수라인(L10)을 통해 메인드레인라인(DL1)에 유입될 수 있다. 그리고, 메인드레인라인(DL1)에 유입된 생활용수는 메인드레인라인(DL1)을 유동하여 외부로 배수될 수 있다.Accordingly, the living water not filtered by the membrane filter 220 may flow into the main drain line DL1 through the living water valve DV and the living water line L10 as shown in FIG. 2. The living water flowing into the main drain line DL1 may be drained to the outside by flowing through the main drain line DL1.

그러나, 멤브레인필터(220)는 전술한 역삼투압 멤브레인필터에 한정되지 않고, 전처리 필터(210)에서 여과된 정수를 더 여과할 수 있는 것이라면, UF멤브레인(중공사막)필터 등 주지의 어떠한 정수필터라도 가능하다.However, the membrane filter 220 is not limited to the reverse osmosis membrane filter described above, and any membrane well water filter such as an UF membrane (hollow fiber membrane) filter can be used as long as the purified water filtered by the pretreatment filter 210 can be further filtered. It is possible.

후카본필터(230)는 멤브레인필터(220)에서 여과된 정수를 더 여과할 수 있다. 예컨대, 후카본필터(230)에서는 냄새유발물질이나 세균 등이 여과될 수 있다.The after carbon filter 230 may further filter the purified water filtered by the membrane filter 220. For example, in the after carbon filter 230, odor-causing substances or bacteria may be filtered.

이를 위해서, 후카본필터(230)는 정수라인(L4)에 의해서 멤브레인필터(220)에 연결되어, 도2에 도시된 바와 같이 멤브레인필터(220)에서 여과된 정수가 후카본필터(230)에 유입되어 여과될 수 있다.To this end, the after carbon filter 230 is connected to the membrane filter 220 by the water purification line (L4), the purified water filtered in the membrane filter 220 as shown in Figure 2 to the carbon filter 230 Can be introduced and filtered.

한편, 후카본필터(230)에 의해서 여과되어 후카본필터(230)에 축적된 냄새유발물질이나 세균 등이 소정 양 이상이 되면, 더 이상 후카본필터(230)에 의해서 냄새유발물질이나 세균 등이 여과되지 못한다.On the other hand, if the odor-causing substances or bacteria, which are filtered by the fucarbon filter 230 and accumulated in the fu-carbon filter 230, are more than a predetermined amount, the odor-causing substances, bacteria, etc. are no longer used by the fucarbon filter 230. It is not filtered.

이에 따라, 후카본필터(230)에서 배출되는 정수는 냄새유발물질이나 세균 등이 포함된 상태로, 여과부(200)에서 여과된 정수가 저장되는 저장부(300)로 유동하여 저장된다. 이에 의해서, 저장부(300)에서 냄새가 나거나 세균이 증식할 수 있다.Accordingly, the purified water discharged from the after carbon filter 230 flows to the storage unit 300 in which the purified water filtered by the filter unit 200 is stored in a state in which odor-causing substances or bacteria are contained. As a result, the storage 300 may smell or bacteria may grow.

또한, 후카본필터(230)에 축적된 세균은 후카본필터(230)에서 증식될 수 있다.In addition, the bacteria accumulated in the after carbon filter 230 may be grown in the after carbon filter 230.

그러므로, 후카본필터(230)에 축적된 냄새유발물질이나 세균 등을 없애기 위해서, 후카본필터(230)를 주기적으로 플러싱 할 필요가 있다.Therefore, in order to remove odor-causing substances, bacteria, etc. accumulated in the after carbon filter 230, it is necessary to flush the after carbon filter 230 periodically.

후카본필터(230)는 도3에 도시된 바와 같이 전처리 필터(210)와 멤브레인필터(220)에 의해서 여과된 정수에 의해서 플러싱될 수 있다.The post carbon filter 230 may be flushed by purified water filtered by the pretreatment filter 210 and the membrane filter 220 as shown in FIG. 3.

이를 위해서, 후카본필터(230)는 정수라인(L5)에 의해서 여과측 유로전환밸브(V1)에 연결될 수 있다. 또한, 여과측 유로전환밸브(V1)는 드레인연결라인(DLC)에 의해서 메인드레인라인(DL1)에 연결될 수 있다.To this end, the after carbon filter 230 may be connected to the filtration side flow path switching valve (V1) by the water purification line (L5). In addition, the filtration side flow path switching valve (V1) may be connected to the main drain line (DL1) by the drain connection line (DLC).

이에 따라, 도3에 도시된 바와 같이, 원수차단밸브(NOS)와 피드밸브(FV1)를 열고 여과측 유로전환밸브(V1)를 드레인연결라인(DLC)으로 전환하면, 전처리 필터(210)와 멤브레인필터(220)에 의해서 여과된 정수가 후카본필터(230)에 유입되어 후카본필터(230)를 플러싱할 수 있다.Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 3, when the raw water shutoff valve NOS and the feed valve FV1 are opened and the filtration side flow path switching valve V1 is switched to the drain connection line DLC, the pretreatment filter 210 and The purified water filtered by the membrane filter 220 may flow into the after carbon filter 230 to flush the after carbon filter 230.

그리고, 후카본필터(230)를 플러싱한 정수는 도3에 도시된 바와 같이 드레인연결라인(DLC)을 통해 메인드레인라인(DL1)에 유입되고 메인드레인라인(DL1)을 유동하여 외부로 배수될 수 있다.Then, the purified water flushed after the carbon filter 230 flows into the main drain line DL1 through the drain connection line DLC and flows through the main drain line DL1 as shown in FIG. Can be.

이와 같이, 전처리 필터(210)와 멤브레인필터(220)에 의해서 여과된 정수로 후카본필터(230)를 플러싱하면, 멤브레인필터(220)에 의해서 여과되어 TDS(Total Dissolved Solid; 총용존 고형물)의 농도가 낮은 정수로 후카본필터(230)를 플러싱할 수 있다.As such, when the after carbon filter 230 is flushed with purified water filtered by the pretreatment filter 210 and the membrane filter 220, the membrane is filtered by the membrane filter 220 and the TDS (Total Dissolved Solid; The carbon filter 230 may be flushed with an integer having a low concentration.

그러므로, 플러싱 후 후카본필터(230)에 남아 있는 정수의 TDS 농도가 낮기 때문에, 후카본필터(230)의 플러싱 후 재정수시 여과부(200)에서 여과되어 저장부(300)에 저장되는 정수의 TDS 농도가 낮아질 수 있다.Therefore, since the TDS concentration of the purified water remaining in the after-carbon filter 230 after flushing is low, the purified water stored in the storage unit 300 is filtered out of the filter unit 200 and re-stored after flushing of the after-carbon filter 230. TDS concentrations may be lowered.

그리고, 사용자에게 TDS 농도가 낮은 정수를 공급할 수 있다.In addition, the user may be supplied with purified water having a low TDS concentration.

한편, 드레인연결라인(DLC)에는 역류방지밸브(CV2)가 구비되어 드레인연결라인(DLC)으로부터 메인드레인라인(DL1)으로의 유동은 가능하나, 메인드레인라인(DL1)으로부터 드레인연결라인(DLC)으로의 유동은 불가능하게 할 수 있다.On the other hand, the drain connection line (DLC) is provided with a non-return valve CV2 is possible to flow from the drain connection line (DLC) to the main drain line (DL1), but the drain connection line (DLC) from the main drain line (DL1) Flow to) can be disabled.

저장부(300)는 여과부(200)에서 여과된 정수를 저장할 수 있다. 이를 위해서, 저장부(300)는 정수연결라인(L6)에 의해서 여과부(200)에 연결될 수 있다.The storage unit 300 may store the purified water filtered by the filter unit 200. To this end, the storage unit 300 may be connected to the filtration unit 200 by the purified water connection line (L6).

예컨대, 도3에 도시된 바와 같이 정수연결라인(L6)은 정수라인(L5)에 의해서 여과부(200)의 후카본필터(230)에 연결된 전술한 여과측 유로전환밸브(V1)에 연결될 수 있다.For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the purified water connection line L6 may be connected to the aforementioned filtration side flow path switching valve V1 connected to the after carbon filter 230 of the filtration unit 200 by the purified water line L5. have.

그리고, 여과측 유로전환밸브(V1)를 전술한 바와 같이 드레인연결유로(DLC)가 아닌 정수연결라인(L6)으로 전환하면, 도2에 도시된 바와 같이 여과부(200)에서 여과된 정수가 저장부(300)에 유입되어 저장될 수 있다.Then, when the filtration-side flow path switching valve (V1) is switched to the purified water connection line (L6) instead of the drain connection flow path (DLC) as described above, as shown in Figure 2, the purified water filtered by the filtration unit 200 Inflow to the storage unit 300 may be stored.

저장부(300)는 정수탱크(310)와 냉수탱크(320)를 포함할 수 있다.The storage unit 300 may include a purified water tank 310 and a cold water tank 320.

정수탱크(310)는 여과부(200)에서 여과된 정수를 저장할 수 있다. 이를 위해서, 정수탱크(310)에는 전술한 정수연결라인(L6)이 연결될 수 있다. 그리고, 전술하고 도2에 도시된 바와 같이 여과측 유로전환밸브(V1)를 정수연결라인(L6)으로 전환하면, 여과부(200)에서 여과된 정수가 정수연결라인(L6)을 통해 정수탱크(310)에 유입되어 저장될 수 있다.The purified water tank 310 may store purified water filtered by the filter 200. To this end, the above-described purified water connection line L6 may be connected to the purified water tank 310. Then, when the filtration-side flow path switching valve (V1) is switched to the purified water connection line (L6) as described above and shown in Figure 2, the purified water filtered in the filter unit 200 through the purified water connection line (L6) Inflow to the 310 may be stored.

냉수탱크(320)는 정수탱크(310)로부터 공급된 정수를 냉각하여 냉수를 만들 수 있다.The cold water tank 320 may cool the purified water supplied from the purified water tank 310 to make cold water.

이를 위해서, 정수탱크(310)와 냉수탱크(320)는 하나의 탱크로 일체로 이루어지며, 연결구멍(도시되지 않음)이 형성된 분리부재(도시되지 않음)에 의해서 상부는 정수탱크(310)로 하부는 냉수탱크(320)로 구획될 수 있다.To this end, the purified water tank 310 and the cold water tank 320 are integrally formed with one tank, and the upper portion is separated by a separating member (not shown) having a connection hole (not shown) to the purified water tank 310. The lower portion may be partitioned into a cold water tank 320.

그리고, 정수탱크(310)에 유입된 정수가 분리부재의 연결구멍을 통해 냉수탱크(320)로 유입되어 저장될 수 있다.In addition, the purified water introduced into the purified water tank 310 may be introduced into and stored in the cold water tank 320 through the connection hole of the separating member.

그러나, 냉수탱크(320)는 정수탱크(310)와 별도의 탱크로 이루어지고, 연결라인(도시되지 않음)에 의해서 정수탱크(310)에 연결되어 정수탱크(310)로부터 정수를 공급받을 수도 있다.However, the cold water tank 320 is made of a separate tank from the purified water tank 310, and may be connected to the purified water tank 310 by a connection line (not shown) to receive purified water from the purified water tank 310. .

냉수탱크(320)에는 냉매가 유동하는 증발기(도시되지 않음)나 전원이 인가되면 일측에서 타측으로 열전달이 이루어지는 열전모듈(도시되지 않음) 등의 냉각유닛(도시되지 않음)이 구비될 수 있다. 이에 따라, 정수탱크(310)로부터 냉수탱크(320)에 유입되어 저장된 정수가 냉각유닛에 의해서 냉각되어 냉수가 될 수 있다.The cold water tank 320 may be provided with a cooling unit (not shown) such as an evaporator (not shown) through which a refrigerant flows, or a thermoelectric module (not shown) in which heat is transferred from one side to the other side when power is applied. Accordingly, the purified water flowing into the cold water tank 320 from the purified water tank 310 may be cooled by the cooling unit to become cold water.

Flows into 500.

이때, 배출부재(500) 아래에 드레인용기(600)를 두면, 배출부재(500)에 유입된 살균수는 배출부재(500)로부터 배출되어 드레인용기(600)에 담길 수 있다. 그리고, 도7에 도시된 바와 같이 드레인용기(600)에 담긴 살균수에 배출부재(500)가 잠기어 배출부재(500)가 살균될 수 있다. 이러한 드레인용기(600)의 크기나 형상은 특별히 한정되지 않고, 배출부재(500)를 수용할 수 있는 크기나 형상이라면 어떠한 크기나 형상이라도 가능하다.At this time, if the drain container 600 is placed under the discharge member 500, the sterilized water introduced into the discharge member 500 may be discharged from the discharge member 500 to be contained in the drain container 600. As illustrated in FIG. 7, the discharge member 500 may be immersed in the sterilizing water contained in the drain container 600 so that the discharge member 500 may be sterilized. The size and shape of the drain container 600 is not particularly limited, and any size or shape may be used as long as it is a size or shape that can accommodate the discharge member 500.

이러한 배출부재(500)의 살균수에 의한 살균은 사용자가 원하는 때에 이루어질 수 있다. 그러나, 배출부재(500)의 살균주기는 특별히 한정되지는 않는다.Sterilization by the sterilizing water of the discharge member 500 may be made when the user wants. However, the sterilization cycle of the discharge member 500 is not particularly limited.

이와 같은 배출부재(500)의 살균시 냉수배출라인(PL2)과 제1배출연결라인(PLW)도 전술한 바와 같이 살균수가 유동하면서 살균될 수 있다.Cold water discharge line PL2 and the first discharge connection line PLW during sterilization of the discharge member 500 may also be sterilized while the sterilizing water flows as described above.

한편, 냉수배출라인(PL2) 등과 같이 저장부(300)와 배출부재(500)를 연결하는 유로는 빈번한 살균이 요구되는 곳이어서, 전술한 바와 같이 미리 설정된 주기 또는 사용자가 원하는 때에 살균수에 의해서 살균하는 것만으로는 부족할 수 있다.On the other hand, the flow path connecting the storage unit 300 and the discharge member 500, such as cold water discharge line (PL2) is a place where frequent sterilization is required, as described above by the sterilized water at a predetermined period or when desired by the user Sterilization may not be enough.

예컨대, 냉수배출라인(PL2) 등과 같이 저장부(300)와 배출부재(500)를 연결하는 유로 중 적어도 일부는 보다 짧게 미리 설정된 주기(예를 들어, 매일) 살균할 필요가 있다.For example, at least some of the flow paths connecting the reservoir 300 and the discharge member 500, such as the cold water discharge line PL2, need to be sterilized for a shorter period of time (eg, daily).

이를 위해서, 살균수 생성부(400)에서 살균수가 만들어진 상태에서, 배출부재 살균라인(L9)에 구비된 피드밸브(FV4)를 열고, 배출측 유로전환밸브(V2)를 메인드레인라인(DL1)으로 전환한다. 이에 의해서, 도9에 도시된 바와 같이 살균수 생성부(400)에서 만들어진 살균수가 배출부재 살균라인(L9)에 의해서, 예컨대 냉수배출라인(PL2)에 유입될 수 있다.To this end, in the state in which the sterilizing water generator 400 is made of sterilizing water, the feed valve FV4 provided in the discharge member sterilizing line L9 is opened, and the discharge side flow path switching valve V2 is connected to the main drain line DL1. Switch to As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, the sterilizing water produced by the sterilizing water generating unit 400 may be introduced into the cold water discharge line PL2 by the discharge member sterilizing line L9.

그리고, 살균수가 냉수배출라인(PL2)을 유동하면서 냉수배출라인(PL2)이 살균될 수 있다. 이와 같이, 냉수배출라인(PL2)을 살균한 살균수는 배출측 유로전환밸브(V2)를 통해 메인드레인라인(DL1)에 유입되고 메인드레인라인(DL1)을 유동한 후 외부로 배수될 수 있다.The cold water discharge line PL2 may be sterilized while the sterilizing water flows through the cold water discharge line PL2. As such, the sterilizing water sterilized in the cold water discharge line PL2 may be introduced into the main drain line DL1 through the discharge side flow path switching valve V2 and drained to the outside after the main drain line DL1 flows. .

이에 의해서, 저장부(300)와 배출부재(500)를 연결하는 유로, 예컨대 냉수배출라인(PL2)을 매일 살균할 수 있다.As a result, a flow path connecting the storage unit 300 and the discharge member 500, for example, the cold water discharge line PL2, may be sterilized every day.

한편, 전술한 바와 같이, 살균수에 의해서 살균된, 저장부(300)와, 배출부재(500) 및, 저장부(300)와 배출부재(500)를 연결하는 유로는 저장부(300)에 저장된 정수나 여과부(200)에서 여과된 정수에 의해서 헹구어질 수 있다.On the other hand, as described above, the storage unit 300, sterilized by the sterilized water, the discharge member 500, and the flow path connecting the storage unit 300 and the discharge member 500 is stored in the storage unit 300. It may be rinsed by the stored purified water or purified water filtered by the filter unit 200.

예컨대, 저장부(300)가 살균수에 의해서 살균된 후에는 도6에 도시된 바와 같이 여과부(200)에서 여과된 정수에 의해서 헹구어질 수 있다.For example, after the storage 300 is sterilized by sterilized water, it may be rinsed by purified water filtered in the filter 200 as shown in FIG. 6.

이를 위해서, 저장부(300)가 살균수에 의해서 살균된 후, 원수차단밸브(NOS)와 피드밸브(FV1) 및 냉수배출밸브(WV2)를 열고, 여과측 유로전환밸브(V1)는 정수연결라인(L6)으로 전환하며, 배출측 유로전환밸브(V2)는 메인드레인라인(DL1)으로 전환한다.To this end, after the storage unit 300 is sterilized by sterilizing water, the raw water shutoff valve NOS, the feed valve FV1 and the cold water discharge valve WV2 are opened, and the filtration side flow path switching valve V1 is connected to the purified water. Line L6 is switched, and the discharge side flow path switching valve V2 is switched to the main drain line DL1.

이에 의해서, 도6에 도시된 바와 같이 여과부(200)에서 여과된 정수가 저장부(300), 예컨대 저장부(300)의 정수탱크(310)와 냉수탱크(320)에 유입되어, 정수탱크(310)와 냉수탱크(320)를 헹굴 수 있다. 그리고, 이와 같이 정수탱크(310)와 냉수탱크(320)를 헹군 정수는 냉수배출라인(PL2)을 유동하면서 이를 헹군 후 메인드레인라인(DL1)을 통해 외부로 배수될 수 있다.As a result, as shown in FIG. 6, the purified water filtered by the filtering unit 200 flows into the purified water tank 310 and the cold water tank 320 of the storage 300, for example, the purified water tank 320. The 310 and the cold water tank 320 may be rinsed. In addition, the purified water rinsing the purified water tank 310 and the cold water tank 320 as described above may be drained to the outside through the main drain line DL1 after rinsing while flowing the cold water discharge line PL2.

배출부재(500)가 살균된 후에는 도8에 도시된 바와 같이 저장부(300)에 저장된 정수에 의해서 헹구어질 수 있다.After the discharging member 500 is sterilized, it may be rinsed by purified water stored in the storage 300 as shown in FIG. 8.

이를 위해서, 배출부재(500)가 살균된 후에는 냉수배출밸브(WV2)를 열고, 배출측 유로전환밸브(V2)는 제1배출연결라인(PLW)으로 전환한다.To this end, after the discharge member 500 is sterilized, the cold water discharge valve WV2 is opened, and the discharge side flow path switching valve V2 is switched to the first discharge connection line PLW.

이에 의해서, 냉수탱크(320)에 저장된 냉수가 냉수배출라인(PL2)과 제1배출연결라인(PLW)을 유동하여 배출부재(500)에 유입된다.As a result, the cold water stored in the cold water tank 320 flows through the cold water discharge line PL2 and the first discharge connection line PLW and flows into the discharge member 500.

그리고, 배출부재(500)에 유입된 냉수는 배출부재(500)로부터 배출되어 배출부재(500)에 아래에 놓인 드레인용기(600)에 유입되어 담긴다. 그리고, 드레인용기(600)에 담긴 냉수에 배출부재(500)가 잠기게 된다.In addition, the cold water introduced into the discharge member 500 is discharged from the discharge member 500 and flows into the drain container 600 disposed below the discharge member 500. Then, the discharge member 500 is immersed in the cold water contained in the drain container (600).
