Abstract
A water mixing device includes: a cold-water module including a cold-water tank, a cooler cooling the water accommodated in the cold-water tank, and a cold-water temperature sensor; a hot-water module including a hot-water tank that accommodates water discharged from the cold-water tank, and a heater that heats the water accommodated in the hot-water tank; a flow channel connected to the cold-water tank and the hot-water tank; a valve unit including valve modules opened or closed to adjust a flow of water in the flow channel; and a controller configured to control the valve modules. The flow channel mixes water cooled by the cooler and water heated by the heater to provide discharge water. When the temperature of water detected by the cold-water temperature sensor is higher than a preset threshold temperature, the controller controls the valve modules to prevent water from flowing into the cold-water tank.
