Technical field

The present invention relates to sterilization equipment and method for water treating equipment, it can carry out disinfection and/or rinse the water tank of water treating equipment and connected passage, and more specifically, relate to a kind of sterilization equipment for water treating equipment and method, it passes through to electrode power supply, sterilization/wash-down water that generation contains pasteurization material and/or flushing material, and sterilization/wash-down water is supplied to passage, water tank or is arranged in the water out tap of water treating equipment inside, thus can be to passage, water tank or the sterilization of water out tap/rinse.In this manual, term " sterilization/wash-down water " relates to and containing by apply pasteurization material that the electrode of power produces and/or the water of flushing material to it.

Simultaneously, although water treating equipment (water treatment device) can be used for multiple object, for example, for industry or family's (business), use to process waste water or ortho-water, or generation ultrapure water, but the present invention relates to a kind of for drinking water treating equipment and the sterilization method thereof of object.For quoting the water treating equipment of object, filter former water, and produce for quoting the pure water of object.Thereby, in narrow meaning, these water treating equipment are called to water purifier.This water purifier can be constituted as and receive former water, and supplies to user the room temperature pure water that unit filters after filtration, or can be constituted as heating/cooling room temperature pure water, and supplies heat or cold water to user.

In addition, for drinking a kind of water treating equipment of object, be functional water generators, it supplies various function water, such as deionized water, soda water and oxygenated water, and pure water.In addition, there is water heater, watercooler or ice-making machine, its heating or chilled(cooling) water supply (CWS) unit, such as the water of water bottle supply, or ice making.In this manual, term " water treating equipment " is used as common name, relates to a kind of multifunctional equipment with water purifier, functional water generators, water heater, watercooler and ice-making machine function.For simplicity, will adopt water purifier as an example, but it should be understood that water purifier is only used as the example of water treating equipment of the present invention.

Background technology

Conventionally, depend on purifying method, water purifier is divided into ultra-filtration water purifier and Hyperfilevation water purifier.

Known and current other process for purifying water of having developed is compared, and Hyperfilevation water purifier is more excellent aspect clearing the pollution off.

Hyperfilevation water purifier can have filter unit, and it comprises sediment filter, pre-filter employing active carbon, reverse osmosis membrane strainer and rearmounted charcoal filter.Sediment filter receives former water from Yuan Shui water source, and by the fine filter of approximately 5 microns, dusting out particle, throw out or various floating substance.Preposition activated carbon filter is removed harmful chemical by the adsorption method of use gac, such as carcinogenic material (THM), synthetic detergent or sterilant, and chlorine residue.Reverse osmosis membrane strainer has the reverse osmosis membrane of 0.0001 micron.Reverse osmosis membrane strainer filtering heavy metal (for example, lead, arsenic etc.), sodium and bacterium, and discharge condensed water by water shoot.The water that Postposition carbon filter filters from reverse osmosis membrane strainer, remove undesirable taste, smell and pigment.

In addition, ultra-filtration water purifier is used ultra filtration filter to replace reverse osmosis membrane strainer.Ultra filtration filter is to have the porous filter that is of a size of tens apertures to hundreds of nanometer, and by the many meticulous hole distributing on film surface, from water, clears the pollution off.

Yet, in this water purifier, the microorganism or the bacterium that remain in Postposition carbon filter aperture may be introduced in the water tank of cleaner.Thereby microorganism may breed in water tank again.In addition, outside bacterium or microorganism may be infiltrated in the water storing in water tank, or may on the inwall of water tank, produce dirt.

Propose, by add independent disinfecting substance to water tank, water tank is sterilized, to the bacterium breeding in water tank or microbial decontamination.

Yet, exist a problem to be adding disinfection drug supply side, because user or the Administrator of water purifier must supply independent disinfecting substance, so sterilizing process may difficulty, and sterilization management inconvenience.That is to say, in the situation that adding disinfecting substance, owing to can not automatically throwing in disinfecting substance, even and in the situation that may automatically throwing in, also must regularly fill disinfecting substance, make sterilizing process inconvenience.

In addition, when adding disinfecting substance to water tank, produce another problem, in some cases, the concentration of disinfecting substance becomes than needed height, and in addition, depends on user and Administrator, the addition of disinfecting substance may be different, and a certain amount of disinfecting substance may be retained in water purifier after cleaning course.Therefore, after flushing process, indispensable repeatedly cleaning process, and when not carrying out cleaning process completely, may cause the infringement to human body, in addition, due to the disinfecting substance taste in pure water, may cause people dissatisfied.

Meanwhile, the Administrator of water purifier must supply disinfecting substance, and has increased the cost to water purifier sterilization, so improved cost of serving, makes user's water purifier of being unwilling potentially to use.

Especially, due in most of the cases, water purifier itself is without sterilization and rinse, and service administrators must carry out sterilization/flushing process, and institute, so that carrying out sterilization/flushing process requires great effort, has reduced the reliability of water purifier.

In addition, depend on the operational conditions (for example, former water pressure, flow, etc.) of water purifier, dissolving or the disinfecting substance condition of elution different.As an example, in the situation that flow is little, the concentration of disinfecting substance may be relatively high, and on the contrary, in the situation that flow is excessive, the concentration of disinfecting substance becomes lower, causes being thus difficult to control sterilizing process.Here, in the situation that disinfecting substance concentration is high, also may smells and make us unhappy.

In addition, the pasteurization material producing due to disinfecting substance is mainly comprised of the material with low pH value or very high-level OCl-, so may smell, make us unhappy, and compare with HOCl, disinfectant properties may be only 1/7, thereby the casing sterilization for to same capability, may need more substantial OCl-pasteurization material.

Meanwhile, reference is the Korean Patent Application No. 2009-0047174 that same applicant submits to the present invention, wherein discloses a kind of washing equipment and purging method of water treatment.

Yet, even in the situation that this patent application of the applicant, also there is following point, in the situation that use the artificial sterilizing process of disinfecting substance, due to the toxicity of disinfecting substance, must be for the N-process of disinfecting substance, result, may need the too much time, for water treating equipment sterilization, the N-process of disinfecting substance and cleaning subsequently.In addition, the difficulty in above-mentioned referenced patent application is, must directly to water purifier, supply disinfecting substance and neutralization materials.

Therefore a kind of novel sterilization and purging method that, need to be different from those disclosed in prior art.

the first embodiment of sterilization equipment

First, with reference to Fig. 1-4, describe according to the sterilization equipment for water treating equipment of the first embodiment of the present invention.

As Figure 1-4, according to the sterilization equipment 100 of the first embodiment of the present invention, comprise electrode sterilization module 100a and transom 190.

100a is to electrode application voltage for electrode sterilization module, and produce the sterilization/wash-down water that contains pasteurization material or flushing material, and the passage of transom 190 connection electrode sterilization module 100a and water treating equipment 200, and sterilization/wash-down water is supplied to water treating equipment 200.

Transom 190 comprises at least one pipe connecting 180 of the water out 260 that is connected to water treating equipment 200, and is connected to the circulation tube 191 of strainer passage pipe L1, L2, L3 and L4, Water in Water Tank intake vent pipe L5 or the water tank 220 of water treating equipment 200.Simultaneously, in this specification sheets (comprising claim), strainer passage pipe L1, L2, L3 and L4 relate to the passage pipe that is introduced into strainer 210,220,230 and 240, in this case, former water (tap water) the first channel pipe L1 that flows through, and the cleaning water of filtering through the percolating filter 211 second passage pipe L2 that flows through.In this manual, conventionally strainer passage pipe L1, L2, L3 and L4 and Water in Water Tank intake vent pipe L5 are called to passage pipe.

Then, pipe connecting 180 is removably connected to the water out

tap

261 and 262 of water treating equipment 200, and the water shoot 263 of water out 260 and 264 at least one of them, and circulation tube 191 is removably connected to strainer passage pipe L1, L2, L3 and L4, Water in Water Tank intake vent pipe L5 or water tank 220.

For example, with reference to figure 2-4, water tank 220 comprises clean water tank 230, cold water storage cistern 240 and hot well tank 250, cold/cleaning water outlet leading 161 that the first pipe connecting 181 can be connected to, to discharge contained water in clean water tank 230 and cold water storage cistern 240, and the second pipe connecting 182 can be connected to hot water outlet tap 240, to discharge water contained in hot well tank 240.The 3rd pipe connecting 183 can be connected to cold/cleaning water water shoot 263, and to discharge contained water in clean water tank 230 and cold water storage cistern 240, and the 4th pipe connecting 184 can be connected to hot water water shoot 264, to discharge water contained in hot well tank 250.According to the structure of water treating equipment 200, the number of pipe connecting may be different with the channel type that is connected to pipe connecting.For example, if there is no hot well tank 240, or do not need hot well tank 240 sterilizations, with regard to unnecessary hot water outlet tap 262 or hot water water shoot 264, the needs to the second and the 4th pipe connecting 182 and 184 have been eliminated, but when increasing the passage of water treating equipment 200, pipe connecting 180 can be installed in addition.

Circulation tube 191 can be connected to strainer passage pipe L1, L2, L3 and L4, Water in Water Tank intake vent pipe L5 or water tank 220, with the water tank 220 to water treating equipment 200 and connected passage (comprising water out tap) sterilization.

Electrode sterilization module 100a can comprise shell 101 and be arranged on electrode part 170 and the pump 140 in shell 101, and optionally comprise in addition Channel-shifted unit 110, concentrated sensor 120, water out channel switching valve 160 and control unit C.

When electrode application voltage in electrode part 170, electrode part 170 just produces the sterilization/wash-down water (in this manual, sterilization/wash-down water relates at least water of one of them that can carry out sterilizing function and pre-washing function) that contains pasteurization material or flushing material.

For example, electrode part 170 can be constituted as by electrolysis (in this manual, term " electrolysis " comprises redox reaction), produces the sterilization/wash-down water that contains sterilization and/or flushing material, such as oxygenant (MO).

In electrode part 170, water passes between the electrode of opposite polarity, to sterilize or to eliminate microorganism residual in water or bacterium.Conventionally, by direct and indirect oxidation reaction, carry out very complicated to the sterilization of cleaning water through electrolysis, in direct oxidation reaction, direct oxidizing microorganisms in positive electrode, and in indirect oxidation reaction, the various mixed oxides (MO) that can be produced by positive electrode, such as chlorine residue, ozone, OH free radical, oxyradical oxidizing microorganisms.

As shown in Figure 1, according to embodiments of the invention, preferably, can on the electrode body of positive electrode, be coated with ruthenium (Ru), to can not increase single electrode, produce pasteurization material (in this manual, comprising salt and muriate).Ruthenium (Ru) plays catalyzer, works as Cl ^-cl while being reduced into ₂, this catalyzer produces potential difference, and the Cl producing in water by ruthenium ₂by water, dissolved immediately, thereby become hypochlorous acid.Flow velocity and voltage conditions can be set, to maximize the activity of ruthenium (Ru) catalyzer.

According in the electrode part 170 of the embodiment of the present invention, ruthenium (Ru) is painted on the electrode body of positive electrode, more specifically, it is the ru oxide (RuOx) being present on electrode surface, this is because after ruthenium is coated on electrode, by high temperature heating and being oxidized the electrode that scribbles ruthenium, produces ru oxide (because be coated with ruthenium in the starting stage of producing electrode, so in this manual, express " being coated with ruthenium ", comprise the situation that ruthenium is changed into ru oxide).Thereby, in order to prevent reducing the activity of ruthenium (Ru) and prevent from damaging coating, so expectation peak voltage is set to 30V, and is more preferably set to 24V, power setting is become lower than 12W simultaneously.

When using ruthenium (Ru) in electrode body, the life-span of electrode becomes shorter conventionally, but can, by drive electrode under low current, prevent that it from becoming shorter.Preferably make electric current lower, further to improve the life-span of the electrode that scribbles ruthenium, therefore, preferably form the negative potential without independent coating, i.e. corresponding titanium (Ti) electrode.

That is to say, when using titanium (Ti) as negative potential, can, at same electrical drops low current, make due to low current and low power, to extend the life-span of negative, positive electrode.

As mentioned above, according in the electrode part 170 of the embodiment of the present invention, use respectively and be coated with the electrode of ruthenium (Ru) and titanium (Ti) as positive electrode and negative potential, and do not add respectively muriate and regulate the spacing between electrode (ionogen), make to produce the pasteurization material with expectation concentration with low current and low power.Yet, according to the electrode materials of electrode part 170 of the present invention, be not limited to above-mentioned materials, but can change according to different embodiment.

Meanwhile, preferably, according to the electrode part 170 of the embodiment of the present invention, comprise a positive electrode, and be arranged in two negative potentials on the relative both sides of this positive electrode.

Although obviously can use two positive electrodes and a negative potential, or a positive electrode and two negative potentials, but more preferably, use a positive electrode and two negative potentials, its order of placement is negative potential, positive electrode and negative potential, to realizing the simultaneous minimization current value of pasteurization material concentration.

As mentioned above, can under low current and low power, drive electrode part 170 according to an embodiment of the invention, for example maximum current is 0.5A or lower, and preferably 0.35A or lower, and peak voltage is 50V or lower, and preferred 24V or lower.Significantly, can manage electrode part 170, make it under the watt consumption lower than 12W.

Simultaneously, according to the pH level of water, can be by using sterilization/wash-down water (electrolytic disinfecting liquid) of executing alive electrode acquisition to it to there is the dissimilar muriate being present in this water, and there is different disinfecting powers, and can be divided into dissimilar, such as strong acidic electrolyzed water, slightly acidic brine electrolysis, strong basicity brine electrolysis and electrolysis clorox (NaOCl) water.

In this way, the interpolation of the material of electrode and spacing, quantity of power (voltage or electric current), ionogen or salt (comprising muriate) that it is applied may be different with the type of added ionogen or salt (comprising muriate), to produce various types of sterilization/wash-down waters (electrolytic disinfecting liquid), and all electrodes part that can produce sterilization/wash-down water (electrolytic disinfecting liquid) by electrode all belongs to according to the category of electrode part 170 of the present invention.

That is to say, as mentioned below, can use the ionogen of ionogen feeding unit 130 supplies or the electrode part of salt (comprising muriate) generation sterilization/wash-down water also to belong to according to electrode part 170 of the present invention.

Pump 140 provides pressure, to the sterilization/wash-down water producing in electrode part 170 can be supplied to the passage of water treating equipment 200.The water that is passed pump 140 introducing sterilization equipments 100 can be changed into sterilization/wash-down water, and can be fed in the passage of water treating equipment 200 by pump 140, for example strainer passage pipe L1, L2, L3 and L4, Water in Water Tank intake vent pipe L5 or water tank 220.

Channel-shifted unit 110 can be constituted as, and opens successively and one or more some passages that pipe connecting 180 is communicated with being connected to the water out 260 of water treating equipment 200.

Channel-shifted unit 100 can be constituted as, open one by one successively a plurality of introducing openings 111,112,113 and 114 and block all the other and introduce openings, or open in batch successively some and introduce opening, and keep all the other to introduce opening in closure state.

For example, although can open successively the first pipe connecting 181 connected first, introduce opening 111, the second pipe connecting 182 connected second is introduced opening 112, etc., but also can open the first introducing opening 111 and the 3rd introducing opening 113 that are connected to the first pipe connecting 181 and the 3rd pipe connecting 183 simultaneously, to can open simultaneously, be connected to the first pipe connecting 181 of cold water storage cistern 240 and the passage of the 3rd pipe connecting 183, and can block all the other and introduce opening 112 and 114, then can open the second introducing opening 112 and the 4th simultaneously and introduce opening 114, and can block all the other and introduce opening 111 and 113.

By these modes, can pass through some passages of open channel converting unit 110 successively, successively the water tank 220 of sterilization and wash-down water treatment facility 200 and water tank 220 passages that are connected to corresponding to open introducing opening.Channel-shifted unit 110 can adopt various known valves or opened/closed unit, such as multiple solenoid coil or butterfly valve.

Concentration sensor 120 detects the concentration that is introduced into pasteurization material or flushing material contained in the water of electrode part 170.Concentration sensor 120 may, for being constituted as the sensor of measuring ionic concn, still be not limited to this, as long as it can detect the concentration of pasteurization material or flushing material.

Water out channel switching valve 160 by Channel-shifted to outlet opening 161, thereby the water that is introduced into electrode sterilization module 100a is expelled to outside.That is to say, as shown in Figure 1, water out channel switching valve 160 between following passage to Channel-shifted, for sending by the passage of water inlet 111,112,113 and 114 water of introducing by electrode part 170, with for discharge the passage of water by being connected to the vent pipe 195 of outlet opening 161.After water treating equipment 200 have completed sterilization/flushing operation, water out transforming valve 160 is expelled to outside by sterilization/wash-down water, or when rinse water is expelled to outside, by Channel-shifted to water out side 171.

Meanwhile, as shown in Figure 1, control unit C can be installed, with the driving of control channel converting unit 110, concentration sensor 120, pump 140, water out channel switching valve 160 and electrode part 170.Control unit C is in the starting stage of sterilization/flushing operation driving pump 140 and electrode part 170, the passage opened/closed operation of control channel converting unit 110 is with each passage sterilization and flushing to water treating equipment 200 successively, if and the detected concentration of concentration sensor 120 is equal to or greater than prevalue, just stop driving pump 140 and electrode part 170.

As shown in Figure 4, all or some strainer of removable strainer part 210, and strainer passage pipe L1, L2, L3 and L4 can pass through connection mechanism, such as pipe fitting or junctor, be connected to each other, and pipe connecting 191 can be connected to strainer passage pipe L1, L2, L3 and L4 by junctor 265.

Simultaneously, although Fig. 4 is exemplified with after removing all strainers, circulation tube 191 connects by the junctor 265 in sediment filter 210 front end places, but removable strainer 220,230 and 240 except sediment filter 210, and after strainer passage pipe L2, the L3 between strainer and L4 are connected to each other by the C2 of connection mechanism, C3 and C4 separately, circulation tube 191 can be connected to passage pipe L2.Similarly, can change the method that circulation tube 191 is connected to strainer passage pipe L1, L2, L3 and L4 by variety of way.

Simultaneously, although below omitting the syndeton corresponding to the circulation tube 191 of Fig. 4 in the second to the 7th embodiment, but even in the second to the 7th embodiment, also can by with the same or similar mode of Fig. 4, circulation tube 191 is connected to strainer passage pipe L1, L2, L3 and L4.

By vent pipe 195 is connected to the connection that outlet opening 161 completes passage.

Under this state, if in water out

tap

261 and 262 and

water shoot

263 and 264 process pump 140 open in the situation that, water can flow immediately between water treating equipment 200 and sterilization equipment 100.

Then, control unit C control channel converting unit 110, to open one or some introducing openings 111,112,113 and 114, and driving pump 140 and electrode part 170, to be introduced into the sterilization/wash-down water of electrode part 170, can flow into water tank 220(referring to Fig. 2 by circulation tube 191), Water in Water Tank intake vent pipe L5(is referring to Fig. 3) or strainer passage pipe L1, L2, L3 and L4(referring to Fig. 4), and can be passed water out 260 and introduce electrode sterilization module 100a.

If this process has been carried out the scheduled time, and the pasteurization material in sterilization/wash-down water that concentration sensor 120 detects or the concentration of flushing material have reached preset value, just stop driving pump 140 and electrode part 170, and keep pump 140 and electrode 170 in the holding state scheduled time.Carry out holding state, to allow the time of the wall surface on the sterilization of sterilization/wash-down water and flushing water tank 220 and connected passage (comprising water out tap).

Then, can be by changing the passage of Channel-shifted unit 110, to another water tank sterilization and flushing.For example, if what initial, open is that the first introducing opening 111 and the 3rd is introduced opening 113, just to clean water tank 230, cold water storage cistern 240 and cold/261 sterilizations of cleaning water outlet tap and flushing, by opening the second introducing opening 112 and the 4th, introduce opening 114, to

Except other installation ionogen feeding unit 130, Fig. 6 and 7 sterilization equipment 100 are all identical with the sterilization equipment 100 of Fig. 1-4.Thereby, by omitting the description of identical or like configurations, to avoid unnecessary repetition, and unique construction will only be described.

Ionogen feeding unit 130 plays following effect, produces reposefully pasteurization material or flushing material, and to electrode part 170 supply ionogen or salt (comprising muriate), to obtain the sterilization/wash-down water of high density.

Because carry out reposefully electrolysis (oxidation-reduction reaction), so if add ionogen to ordinary electrode unit, just may produce pasteurization material or the flushing material of high density, even if be also like this while applying same current or voltage.

Then, although do not limit from the ionogen of ionogen feeding unit 130 supplies or the type of salt, preferably, supply muriate, such as NaCl, KCL and NaOCl, to help to produce pasteurization material.Yet, also can supply and not be muriatic salt or ionogen.

Ionogen feeding unit 130 can be by forming for adding the system of liquid electrolyte, but can be configured to for convenient, dissolved solids ionogen or salt when water flows into ionogen feeding unit 130, wherein solid electrolyte or salt (comprising muriate) are accommodated in ionogen feeding unit 130.In order to realize this target, can in ionogen feeding unit 130, form a plurality of communicating apertures, and can cover plate be installed at the upper end of ionogen feeding unit 130, to supply ionogen or salt.

Meanwhile, as shown in Figure 6, preferably, ionogen feeding unit 130 is spaced apart with the water inlet side of electrode part 170.That is to say, for example, because ionogen feeding unit 130 and electrode part 170 are spaced apart (, by pump, supply ionogen), so prevent the also direct contacts electrode of undissolved high density electrolysis matter or edge (comprising muriate), make to prevent that damage being arranged on the electrode in electrode part 170.

Those of syndeton between sterilization equipment 100 shown in Fig. 6 and 7 and water treating equipment 200 and Fig. 2 are identical, and will description is omitted.

the 4th embodiment of sterilization equipment

Then, with reference to Fig. 8-10, describe according to the sterilization equipment 100 of fourth embodiment of the invention.

Except water inlet opening 151 and water inlet channel switching valve 150 are installed, the sterilization equipment 100 of Fig. 8-10 is all with identical according to the sterilization equipment of Fig. 1-4 of first embodiment of the invention, and except the sterilization equipment 100 of Fig. 9 adopts water inlet opening 151 and water inlet channel switching valve 150, all identical with the sterilization equipment 100 according to Fig. 6 of third embodiment of the invention.Thereby, by omitting the description of identical or like configurations, to avoid unnecessary repetition, and unique construction will only be described.

According to the sterilization equipment 100 of Fig. 8-10 of fourth embodiment of the invention, comprise: water inlet opening 151, receives water with the passage pipe L1 from water treating equipment 200, L2, L3, L4 and L5; With water inlet channel switching valve 150, so that Channel-shifted, thereby optionally by the water of introducing by water inlet opening 151, and the water of introducing by pipe connecting 180 is supplied to electrode part 170.

Then, as shown in figure 10, when reverse osmosis membrane strainer 213 is installed in water treating equipment 200, preferably, passage pipe L1, L2, L3, L4 and the L5 that is connected to the water treating equipment 200 of water inlet pipe 151 is passage pipe L1, L2 and L3.

In more detail, reduced the total dissolved solidss (TDS) through the water of reverse osmosis membrane strainer 213, and when water is introduced to electrode part 170, when producing sterilization/wash-down water, the amount of pasteurization material or flushing material may be not enough.Owing to discharging the water that does not pass reverse osmosis membrane strainer 213 as active water (waste water, condensed water) by water shoot DL, so may waste water.

Yet, as mentioned above, when being arranged on the strainer passage pipe L1 at the front end place of reverse osmosis membrane strainer 213, L2 and L3 are connected to water inlet opening 151, and use the strainer passage pipe L1 that flows through, the water of L2 and L3 is when being introduced at first the water of electrode part 170, the total dissolved solidss (TDS) that are introduced into electrode part raise, make to improve the amount of produced pasteurization material or flushing material, thereby (for example in the short period of time, reach the essential sterilization/wash-down water concentration of sterilization/flushing operation, consider the stationary value of sterilization/flushing operation, concentration can be made as to 0.05ppm or higher, 0.07 to several ppm), waste water preventing, with the life-span that prevents from shortening reverse osmosis membrane strainer 213.Then, when first channel pipe L1 is connected to water inlet opening 151, former water is directly supplied to electrode part 170, and when second passage pipe L2 and third channel pipe L3 are connected to water inlet pipe 151, the cleaning water that precipitated thing strainer 211 and pre-filter employing active carbon 212 filter is introduced into electrode part 170.

Simultaneously, using ultra filtration filter to replace in the water purifier of reverse osmosis membrane strainer 213, even while passing ultra filtration filter due to water, the also not obvious variation of the amount of total dissolved solidss (TDS), even if so any one passage pipe L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5 are connected to water inlet pipe 151, the also not obvious variation of the pasteurization material of generation or the amount of flushing material.

Meanwhile, when the electrode of electrode part 170 directly contacts former water, because life-span of electrode may shorten, so preferably, will through the cleaning water of at least one strainer, introduce electrode part 170.Thereby, reverse osmosis membrane strainer 213 is arranged in the strainer part 210 of water treating equipment, preferably, strainer passage pipe L1, L2, L3 and the L4 that is connected to water inlet opening 161 may be second passage pipe L2 and third channel pipe L3, before being introduced into reverse osmosis membrane strainer and through after being arranged at least one strainer in strainer part, cleaning water flow through second passage pipe L2 and third channel pipe L3.

In addition, as shown in Figure 9, although there is the former water (the L1 in the situation that) of a large amount of total dissolved solidss (TDS) or cleaning water (at L2 and L3 in the situation that) by passage pipe L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5 supply, but when sterilization equipment 100 comprises ionogen feeding unit 130, may improve at faster speed the concentration of sterilization/wash-down water.

For example, when the first channel pipe L1 of strainer passage pipe is connected to inlet openings 151, can use the ionogen of former power and water solution matter feeding unit 130 supplies of introducing from first channel pipe L1, in electrode part 170, produce sterilization/wash-down water.In addition, when second or third channel pipe L2 of strainer passage pipe or L3 are connected to inlet openings 151, can use the cleaning water through sediment filter 211 and pre-filter employing active carbon 212 filtrations, ionogen with 130 supplies of ionogen ionogen feeding unit produces sterilization/wash-down water in electrode part 170.When using ultra filtration filter to replace reverse osmosis membrane strainer 213, water due to the four-way deferent L4 from strainer passage pipe or water tank intake vent pipe L5 introducing, comprise more substantial total dissolved solidss (TDS), so can use the water of introducing inlet openings 151 from four-way deferent L4 or the water tank intake vent pipe L5 of strainer passage pipe, ionogen with 130 supplies of ionogen feeding unit produces sterilization/wash-down water in electrode part 170.As mentioned above, although comprise a large amount of total dissolved solidss (TDS) in the water that is introduced into import opening 151, if ionogen feeding unit 130 is provided, just may be easy to produce rapidly with low power the sterilization/wash-down water of high density.Meanwhile, owing to measuring the concentration of sterilization/wash-down water by concentration sensor 120, and the driving of the measurement concentration control electrode part 170 of controller C based on sterilization/wash-down water, so can stably realize the sterilization of this concentration.

Meanwhile, with reference to Figure 10, except other connection inlet openings 151, the connection of the water treating equipment 200 shown in sterilization equipment 100 and Fig. 8 and 9 is identical with Fig. 2's.Thereby not isostructure will only be described, to avoid unnecessary repetition.

As shown in figure 10, the inlet openings 151 of sterilization equipment 100 can be passed through pipe connecting 185, passage pipe L1, L2, L3, L4 and the L5(of contact water treating equipment 200 are when sediment filter 210 comprises reverse osmosis membrane strainer 213, and passage pipe L1, L2 and L3 are disposed in the front end place of reverse osmosis membrane strainer 213).Now, pipe connecting 185 can be used wherein passage pipe L1, a L2 and the L3 at the front end place that is disposed in reverse osmosis membrane strainer 213, or passes through used independent junctor connecting passage pipe L1, L2 and L3.Yet, when using ultra filtration filter to replace reverse osmosis membrane strainer 213, can use wherein strainer passage pipe L1, L2, L3, L4 and a water tank intake vent pipe L5 as pipe connecting 185.Meanwhile, pipe connecting 185 can pass through used junctor, connecting passage pipe L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5.Meanwhile, when water tank intake vent pipe L5 connects inlet openings 151, circulation tube 191 can be connected to water tank 220.

As mentioned above, passage pipe L1, L2 are connected with L3 under the state of inlet openings 151 therein, by the mode identical with Fig. 2, carry out sterilizing operation.

Yet, in the situation that the sterilization equipment 100 shown in Figure 10, in early days in sterilizing operation, the water (former water or cleaning water) with a large amount of total dissolved solidss (TDS) is introduced to passage pipe L1, L2 in electrode part 170 and L3(and comprise L4 and L5 the ultra filtration filter in the situation that, as an example, Figure 10 illustrates reverse osmosis membrane strainer), to produce the relatively sterilization/wash-down water of high density, and be supplied to the water tank 220 of water treating equipment 200.After expending the scheduled time, can make the Channel-shifted of channel switching valve 150, thereby the water of introducing by pipe connecting 180 is introduced to electrode part 170.In this way, can continue to produce the operation of sterilization/wash-down water.That is to say, when using the water of introducing by passage pipe L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5, producing sterilization/wash-down water, consequent sterilization/wash-down water is supplied to water tank 220, the water level of water tank 220 may obviously raise, thereby causes overflow.Therefore, consider the volume of water tank 220, so only by passage pipe L1, L2, L3, L4 and the L5 supply water scheduled time.Afterwards, can make the water cycle in water tank 220, to produce sterilization/wash-down water.

Then, if the concentration of concentration sensor 120 detected sterilization/wash-down waters is equal to or greater than prevalue, concentration sensor 120 just stops driving pump 140 and electrode part 170, and keeps the idle condition scheduled time.Afterwards, by the Channel-shifted of water out channel switching valve 160 to exit opening 161 1 sides, to provide sterilization/wash-down water to outside.

Meanwhile, in the situation that the sterilization equipment 100 shown in Figure 10, owing to can comprising L4 and L5 the ultra filtration filter in the situation that from passage pipe L1, L2 and L3() water be supplied to inlet openings 151, so used as wash-down water.That is to say, in order to rinse, therein by the Channel-shifted of channel switching valve 150 to the state of inlet openings 151 and electrode part 170 connection state, drive electrode part 170, when driving pump 140, can pass through sterilization equipment 100, the water of introducing by passage pipe L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5 is introduced to water tank 220.Therefore, if water tank 220 has been full of wash-down water, just can make the passage of water out channel switching valve 160 again change, to be filled with wash-down water, thus wash-down water is filled with to outside.

In this case, when the first water to third channel pipe L1, L2 and L3 introducing is passed through in use as wash-down water, just do not use expensive reverse osmosis membrane strainer 213 or ultra filtration filter, can prevent water consumption to become active water, and can improve the life-span of reverse osmosis membrane strainer.

Meanwhile, the sterilization equipment shown in Figure 10 100 comprises control unit C.Control unit C controls the driving to Channel-shifted unit 110, electrode part 170, pump 140, channel switching valve 150 and exit passageway transforming valve 160.
