And the central portion of the bottom wall portion 14a of next door 14 is formed with for inner core 12c and inserts logical through hole 14c.And, on bottom wall portion 14a, being formed with a plurality of slit 14ds of conduct from the discharge outlet of additive reception room S1, this slit 14d extends radially from the central shaft Ax of water purification catridge 6.The width of this slit 14d also is set at the particle diameter less than additive 16, and suppressant additive 16 spills from slit 14d thus.
In possessing the additive reception room S1 of above formation, additive 16 strippings are the former water that imports to via water guide mouth 7a from former hydroecium 4 in the additive reception room S1, and the water that has added additive flows out to medial compartment S3 from additive reception room S1 via the slit 14d in next door 14.
At this, in the present embodiment, form the air-accumulating Aa that encloses air on the top of additive reception room S1, make thus in air-accumulating Aa, be that the additive 16 that the top of additive reception room S1 exists is not immersed in the water.Promptly, the recess 18 that constitutes by perisporium 12a, roof 12b and inner core 12c, the passing away that does not only have air towards the top towards the below opening, even therefore become water in water guide mouth 7a is immersed in additive reception room S1, the top 6a of water purification catridge 6 is completely infused in the state (being the state that water does not have) the water that former hydroecium 4 stored, also can in this recess 18, put aside air, and prevent to be in getting wet of the interior additive 16 of air-accumulating Aa.That is, the additive 16 that is positioned at the upper limit L below of flood zone Aw is soaked in water, and the additive 16 that is positioned at upper limit L top is under water.
In described formation, when the under water and stripping of the additive 16 that is positioned at the below, the additive 16 that is arranged in the top descend downwards by gravity and automatically supply to flood zone Aw.Thus, can begin to use successively the additive 16 that is housed in the additive reception room S1 from the additive that is configured in downside, therefore be housed in water purification catridge in the whole immersion of additive or the formation that gets wet compare, but further increase easily between the operating period of additive 16, and suppress forr a short time in the concentration difference of use initial stage and the additive that uses the later stage water purification catridge 6 easily.
As Fig. 2, shown in Figure 4,, separate roughly certain intervals in a circumferential direction and be formed with a plurality of water guide mouth 7b that append in the bottom of the perisporium 12a of the upper shell 12 of the perisporium that becomes medial compartment S3.Thus, to medial compartment S3, append water guide mouth 7b from former hydroecium 4 via this and import former water, and import the water added additive from additive reception room S1 via slit 14d, these water are imported among the S2 of clean room that is configured in medial compartment S3 below (adsorption treatment chamber S21).That is, in the present embodiment,, walk around additive reception room S1 from appending the former water that water guide mouth 7b imports medial compartment S3.Like this, by splitting in additive reception room S1 the water that flows and additive reception room S1 being carried out the water of bypass, can be set in the flow of the water that flows in the additive reception room S1 independently and additive reception room S1 is carried out the flow of the water of bypass, can improve the adjustment precision of additive concentration thus easily.
And, in the present embodiment, be configured in the below of water guide mouth 7a with appending water guide mouth 7b.Thus, by water guide mouth 7a and append head difference that the difference in height between the water guide mouth 7b causes and be in dynamic pressure, compare with water guide mouth 7a that water is easier to be entered from appending water guide mouth 7b near the water that appends water guide mouth 7b of the position of the diapire 3a of next door body 3 in the initial arrival of supplying water to former hydroecium 4.Therefore, especially initial what supply water to former hydroecium 4, can make the flow of water of water guide mouth 7a less, adjust the flow of the water in the additive reception room S1 less easily.
Be configured in the S2 of clean room under the medial compartment S3, by being configured in along the cylindrical shell 19 locational roughly cylindraceous of the central shaft Ax of water purification catridge 6, distinguish diametrically, in the present embodiment, with the outer circumferential side of cylindrical shell 19 as the adsorption treatment chamber S21 that contains adsorbent (active carbon of for example granular or powdery etc.) 20, with in the tube of cylindrical shell 19 as the filtration treatment chamber S22 that contains filtering material (for example being bent into the hollow-fibre membrane of the word of falling U shape etc.) 21.In described formation, the water that imports from medial compartment S3 is successively via adsorption treatment chamber S21 and filtration treatment chamber S22, and discharges from the discharge outlet 7c of bottom 6b.Cylindrical shell 19 is embedded among the recess 13b, this recess 13b be formed on the diapire that becomes housing 7 lower house 13 diapire 13a central portion, downwards the depression, the central shaft Ax along water purification catridge 6 is located on the above-below direction for thirty years of age thus.
Adsorption treatment chamber S21 is surrounded by perisporium 13c, cylindrical shell 19, diapire 13a and the thin plate 15 of the lower house 13 of the perisporium bottom that becomes housing 7, forms the tubular with roughly circular cross section.Thin plate 15 for example can be made of nonwoven.In the present embodiment, thin plate 15 forms ring-type and surrounds cylindrical shell 19, and its outer edge 15a is clipped between upper shell 12 and the lower house 13 be fixed on the housing 7.On the other hand, inner edge portion 15b is a free end, and water, is imported in the S21 of adsorption treatment chamber via the gap between this inner edge portion 15b and the cylindrical shell 19 from medial compartment S3.In addition, also can constitute thin plate 15, and water is seen through by the water penetration material.And, in the present embodiment, cap 22 is installed in the upper end of cylindrical shell 19, by the flange part 22a that stretches out to the diameter outside from this cap 22, the inner edge portion 15b that makes thin plate 15 not warpage to the top of flange part 22a.By described formation, even under the situation that the state that water purification catridge 6 is taken out from water purifier 1 has a down dip or reverses up and down, owing to thin plate 15 is only stopped up the gap by card on flange part 22a, therefore also can suppress adsorbent 20 and go out to medial compartment S3 side leakage from adsorption treatment chamber S21.
Be formed with connected entrance 19a in the bottom of cylindrical shell 19, be communicated with adsorption treatment chamber S21 and filtration treatment chamber S22 by this connected entrance 19a.In the S21 of adsorption treatment chamber, make adsorbent 20 absorption and removed the water of impurity, import in the S22 of filtration treatment portion via connected entrance 19a.
In the S22 of filtration treatment chamber,, accommodate to bundle a plurality of and to be bent into roughly the state of the word of falling U shape as the hollow-fibre membrane (yarn film) of the thin suction pipe shape of filtering material 21.Membranous wall by hollow-fibre membrane in the S22 of filtration treatment chamber penetrates into the water in the film, by flowing out to the bottom of filtration treatment chamber S22 in the film, and flows out to water purifying chamber 5 from discharge outlet 7c.Water is when passing through the membranous wall of hollow-fibre membrane, and the impurity that contains in the water is filtered.As the hollow-fibre membrane of filtering material 21, coming the landfill gap by bonding agent (not shown) below the connected entrance 19a and be fixed on the cylindrical shell 19, stop in the S22 of filtration treatment chamber by this bonding agent and directly do not flow out by hollow-fibre membrane.
And, in the present embodiment, dipping variable height parts 23 being installed on housing 7, these dipping alterable height parts 23 are set the dipping height of the additive 16 among the flood zone Aw changeably.The position of the above-below direction by setting these dipping alterable height parts 23 changeably, thus additive 16 height under water, promptly dipping height D (with reference to Fig. 5) changes, and additive concentration is changed.The big more additive concentration of dipping height D increases more.
Particularly, as shown in Figure 2,, the dipping alterable height parts 23 that the round-ended cylinder shape is roughly arranged are installed to cover the mode of the periphery of upper shell 12 from the top.The perisporium 23a of dipping alterable height parts 23 has the perisporium 12a that minim gap ground covers upper shell 12.
And, go up groove 25a that is provided with and the projection 25b that on the inner face of dipping alterable height parts 23, is provided with by perisporium 12a at upper shell 12 (housing 7), constitute Height Adjustment mechanism 25.Groove 25a has pod 25c that extends towards the below from the upper end of perisporium 12a and a plurality of translot 25d that extend towards a side (being the left side Fig. 2) of circumferencial direction from pod 25c.Translot 25d disposes a plurality of (in the present embodiment being 5) with certain spacing (uniformly-spaced).Therefore, make projection 25b that dipping alterable height parts 23 are descended, and dipping alterable height parts 23 are rotated in a circumferential direction and projection 25b are inserted among some translot 25d, thus can with the alterable height of dipping alterable height parts 23 be set at a plurality of stages (being 5 stages in the present embodiment).In addition, preferably form projection 25e, and easily projection 25b is maintained the bosom portion of translot 25d, and projection 25b is crossed and produce click effect in the depths of translot 25d side.
And in the present embodiment, making the lower end 23h of the tube 23f of portion of central authorities that floods alterable height parts 23 and the downside ora terminalis 23b of perisporium 23a is equal height.Therefore, the perisporium 23a of dipping alterable height parts 23 and the recess 23i of the ring-type between the tube 23f of portion of central authorities also integrally become air-accumulating, the position of lower end 23h and ora terminalis 23b becomes the upper limit L of flood zone Aw, therefore shown in Fig. 5 (a)~(c), by setting the position of the above-below direction that floods alterable height parts 23 changeably, on above-below direction, set the position (being the lower position of air-accumulating Aa) of the upper limit L of flood zone Aw thus changeably, can set the dipping height D of the additive 16 in the additive reception room S1 thus changeably, and set additive concentration changeably.
And, when accident savings such as in the each several part in water purification catridge 6, particularly the medial compartment S3 or between thin plate 15 and the adsorbent 20 has air, the gravity of water and the buoyant equilibrium of air and the stream of water is stopped up by air, the flow that therefore can't obtain expecting obtains till the water purification spended time or can't obtain desired additive concentration and may arrive.Therefore, in the present embodiment, roughly the central shaft Ax along water purification catridge 6 is formed with the air drain passageway.
Particularly, central portion at the roof 23e that floods alterable height parts 23, be formed with the tube 23f of portion of central authorities roughly cylindraceous in the tube that enters inner core 12c towards the below extension, be formed with the through hole 23g of perforation roof 23e in the depths side (upside) of the 23f of this tube portion of central authorities.This through hole 23g becomes the air tap of water purification catridge 6.
The cap 22 of the chimeric installation in the upper end of cylindrical shell 19 have along with towards above and the conus portion 22b that attenuates, the air in the S22 of filtration treatment chamber through this conus portion 22b and the tube 23f of portion of central authorities tin in, and discharge from through hole 23g.
Air (but air) in additive reception room S1, adsorption treatment chamber S21 and the S3 of central compartment except putting aside in the air-accumulating Aa, enter in the tube of the 23f of this tube portion of central authorities from the opening of the lower end of the tube 23f of portion of central authorities through otch 12d, discharged from through hole 23g.Under the state of Fig. 5 (a), do not discharge air from additive reception room S1.
As described above, in the present embodiment, air-accumulating Aa is formed at the top in additive reception room S1, among the flood zone Aw below this air-accumulating Aa, additive 16 is immersed in the water of importing, in additive reception room S1, till the part that becomes air-accumulating Aa, accommodate additive 16 from the part that becomes flood zone Aw, the dipping alterable height parts 23 of the dipping height D that sets the additive 16 among the flood zone Aw changeably are installed on housing 7.Thus,, compare, can obtain to set changeably the formation of additive concentration with simpler formation with control valve that a plurality of adjustment concentration are set and the formation of adjusting its switching according to described formation.In addition, under the situations as additive such as use calcium, can set hardness of water changeably.
And,, the additive 16 that is in the top (promptly being in the air-accumulating Aa) of the upper limit of flood zone Aw can be maintained the state that does not soak or get wet according to described formation.And, during the under water and stripping of additive in being in flood zone Aw 16, the additive 16 that is arranged in its top descend downwards by gravity and automatically supply to flood zone Aw.Therefore, can begin to use successively the additive 16 of among additive reception room S1, accommodating from the additive that is configured in downside, therefore compare with the whole formation of soaking or getting wet of the additive of in water purification catridge, accommodating, but increase easily further between the operating period of additive 16, and easily at use initial stage of water purification catridge 6 with use the later stage to suppress the change of the concentration of additive littler.And, set the dipping height D of additive 16 by the height of flood zone Aw, can set the maximum of additive concentration thus.That is, can need the stripping of above ground in water by suppressant additive 16.
And, in the present embodiment, by the lower position (position of the upper limit L of flood zone Aw) that setting air is changeably accumulated Aa, can not make additive 16 moving up and down and thus by fairly simple formation, set dipping height D changeably, and then set additive concentration changeably.
And, in the present embodiment, on housing 7, formed and walked around additive reception room S1 and append water guide mouth 7b what water imported to the S2 of clean room.Thus, by splitting into by the water of additive reception room S1 and the water of bypass additive reception room S1, can be set in the flow of the water of the flow of the water that flows in the additive reception room S1 and bypass additive reception room S1 independently, therefore easy flow set with the water in the additive reception room S1 is to be suitable for the value that concentration is adjusted, and improves the adjustment precision of additive concentration easily.

The water purification catridge 6 of the respective embodiments described above, 6A are by dipping alterable height parts 23 lower position (position of the upper limit L of flood zone Aw) of the air-accumulating Aa in the additive reception room S1 to be changed.Relative therewith, the water purification catridge 6B of present embodiment is, the change in location of the above-below direction of the lower wall 27a by making additive reception room S1, and make the change in location of the above-below direction of additive 16, the dipping height D among the flood zone Aw is changed.
Particularly, dipping alterable height parts 27 possess: lower wall 27a, and similarly stopping up the below of additive reception room S1 and have with next door 14 becomes the slit of discharge outlet 27c; With the 27b of foot, 27a extends upward from lower wall, and the slit 12j on the stage portion that is formed on upper shell 12B (housing 7B) is exposed to outside this upper shell 12B.The 27b of foot extends along the outer surface of the perisporium 12a of upper shell 12B and is provided with, and is provided with Height Adjustment mechanism 25 same as shown in Figure 2 between the outside of the perisporium 12a of the inner face of the 27b of foot and upper shell 12B.In addition, 27b of foot and the confession 27b of foot insert logical slit 12j, are provided with a plurality of (for example being provided with 3 every 120 °) at certain intervals along circumferencial direction.
In described formation, also be that the recess 18 of upper shell 12B becomes air-accumulating Aa, the additive 16 that is in the top (promptly be in air-accumulating Aa in) of the upper limit L of flood zone Aw does not soak or gets wet, and it is under water only to be in the additive 16 of below of upper limit L.In addition, in the present embodiment, upper limit L also is formed in the position of the upper limb 12e of the otch 12d on the inner core 12c.And, even make the change in location of dipping alterable height parts 27 with respect to the above-below direction of upper shell 12B by above-mentioned Height Adjustment mechanism 25, become this flood zone Aw upper limit L, be that the position of lower limit of air-accumulating Aa is also constant.But, the position of the above-below direction by setting lower wall 27a changeably, can move up and down at additive reception room S1 inner additive 16 (accommodate zone) thus, and be set in the height of additive 16 under water in the additive reception room S1, i.e. dipping height D changeably.That is, under state shown in Figure 7, dipping alterable height parts 27 are in the below and additive 16 integral body are positioned at the below, and the dipping height D of additive 16 becomes big, additive concentration and uprises accordingly.Under state shown in Figure 8, dipping alterable height parts 27 are in the top and additive 16 integral body are positioned at the top, accordingly the dipping height D of additive 16 diminish, the additive concentration step-down.In addition, in the present embodiment, dipping height D is 0 under the state of Fig. 8, and additive concentration also is 0.
In addition, water guide mouth 7a is located at the below (below of upper limit L) of the stage portion of perisporium 12a.Water guide mouth 7a also can be located on the position that does not have the 27b of foot, perhaps forms the slit 27c that overlaps with water guide mouth 7a on the 27b of foot.
As above present embodiment, the above-below direction position of the lower wall 27a by setting additive reception room S1 changeably also can be set dipping height D changeably.In this case, wait the formation that changes flow to compare, can obtain to set changeably the formation of additive concentration with simple more structure with valve is set.
And, in the present embodiment, can make the height of upper end (roof) of water purification catridge 6B constant, can constitute water purification catridge 6B more compactly accordingly.
More than, illustrated preferred embodiment of the present inventionly, but the present invention is not limited to above-mentioned embodiment, can carry out various distortion.For example, also can make water purification catridge is cylindrical shape shape in addition, and also can make dipping alterable height parts is that round-ended cylinder shape shape is in addition arranged.And, also can suitably change additive reception room, clean room, water guide mouth, append the specification (shape, size, layout etc.) of water guide mouth, other details.And, also can change by making dipping alterable height position component, and the aperture area variation that makes the water guide mouth or append the water guide mouth, and make changes in flow rate.
