Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To maintain drinking water received in the vessel, in an always fresh state by depositing a purification-effective component on ceramic particles, which component is formed by subjecting a group of plants to fermentation treatment with a group of effective microorganisms and then subjecting the resulting fermented material to extraction and purification treatment and referred to hereafter as EM.X. SOLUTION: This storage vessel 10 is provided with: a vessel main body 12; an inflow water pipe 14 that is inserted into the vessel main body 12 and has an open bottom; and a large number of ceramic particles 36 for water purification, that are charged into an inner cylinder section of the inflow water pipe 14. In the vessel 10, city water allowed to flow into the vessel 10 through a supply side hose 30, is passed through a group of the ceramic particles 36, on which an EM.X is deposited, and thereafter the vessel main body 12 is filled with the city water, wherein the EM.X contains high content of low-molecular weight antioxidant substances, various physiologically-active substances and 40 kinds of minerals (or metals) and is effective in reducing the clustering degree of water and concurrently, has a property capable of being absorbed in a human body. Thus, in the storage vessel 10, a function capable of converting the water quality of inflow water into suitable water quality for drinking water is exhibited and a steady physiologically-active effect can be caused and also, chlorine which is dissolved in the inflow water and used for disinfecting the water, can be removed and active oxygen in the water can be reduced and detoxified and further, generation of harmful substances and putrefaction can be prevented from being caused, to conserve the water quality for a long period.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage container for securing drinking water in the event of a disaster or water outage, and more particularly to a storage container having long-term storage and purification functions of tap water flowing into the container.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Emergency drinking water in the event of a disaster, for example, may be stored by putting drinking water in a synthetic resin container such as a commonly used plastic bottle.

[0003] However, in such an emergency water container, even if it is stored as an emergency, after a certain period of time, a problem such as decay occurs, and replacement with fresh drinking water is required.
The labor and period management for the exchange are troublesome, and if the exchange is forgotten, it cannot be used when needed.

Accordingly, for example, Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 30
No. 15533 proposes an emergency water container that can solve such a problem. The emergency water container disclosed in this publication is provided with an inflow portion and an outflow portion at an upper portion of a container main body, and this container is always interposed in a supply path of drinking water.

[0005] Then, a pipe is extended to the inflow section below the main body, and a plurality of through holes are opened in the middle of the pipe to generate a water flow in the container, thereby preventing stagnation of drinking water. Then, fresh drinking water is always stored in the container, and when water is cut off, the capacity of the container is used as emergency drinking water.

However, the emergency water container disclosed in this publication has the following technical problems.

[0007]

That is, in the emergency water container disclosed in the above publication, while tap water is used, fresh water can be secured according to the capacity of the tank. If water is not used, or if it is removed from the water supply and left for a long time, the water quality in the tank may be deteriorated.

[0008] Further, even though tap water is tap water, its water quality is not all safe and stable, and various harmful substances may be dissolved therein. For example, chlorine used for water purification and chlorine There are concerns about the effects of environmental hormones on the human body, such as decomposed trihalomethane and monomers released from PAA used as a flocculant.

Therefore, the present inventors have proposed EM.X, EM.
I paid attention to X ceramics.

Here, EM means a group of useful microorganisms (E) such as photosynthetic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, yeast, mold (useful mold), actinomycetes, etc.
fectve microorganisms) is a liquid obtained by culturing molasses with molasses.

This EM has been highly evaluated in recent years because of the achievements of many farmers in the field and the promotion of environmental conservation-type agriculture. It has been clarified that it is also used for the improvement of the working environment with a focus on deodorization.

EM.X is the useful microorganism group E
M is a groundbreaking beverage with strong antioxidant power, obtained by fermenting, extracting and purifying a wide range of plants ranging from tropical to temperate zones.

EM.X contains not only antioxidants but also various physiologically active substances and 40 kinds of minerals essential for maintaining health.

[0014] The cluster (association degree) of water contained in EM.X has a size of 1/2 of clean water, and is used exclusively as a health drink for promoting physiological activity to the human body. However, the present inventor focuses on the physiologically active action on the human body and the water purification function among the above-mentioned various functions possessed by EM / X. We paid attention to exhibiting anti-rot effect. Further, the EM.X ceramics are ceramics having the same properties as above.

The present invention has been made based on the above idea. The object of the present invention is to use not only EM / X but also mere water storage by using EM / X fixed to a tap water storage water container. It is intended to provide a water purifying storage container for daily use which can provide functions of water purification and preservation.

[0016]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a container body, an inflow portion and an outflow portion of drinking water provided on one end side of the container body, and the supply of the drinking water. A water container always interposed in the path, having water purification ceramic particles filled in a pipe constituting the inflow portion, the ceramic particles, fermentation treatment of plants by useful microorganisms, It consisted of carrying a purification active ingredient generated by extraction and purification. According to the storage tank for household water purification type constructed in this way, in addition to the ordinary water storage function, the water purification and preservation functions can be performed without the need for regular replacement of filters and the like as compared with ordinary water purifiers. Can be added. The pipe constituting the inflow portion may be filled with far-infrared radiation ceramics or fiber activated carbon together with the water purification ceramic particles. When this configuration is adopted, the water purification function can be further enhanced by far-infrared radiation ceramics or fiber activated carbon. In the present invention, the container body,
A water container provided with an inflow portion and an outflow portion of drinking water provided on one end surface side of a container body, and is always interposed in a supply path of the drinking water, and a water purification formed on an inner surface of the container body. It is also possible to have a coating layer for use, wherein the coating layer contains a purification active ingredient produced by fermentation of a plant group with a group of useful microorganisms and extraction and purification.
