[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a water treatment apparatus which activates water flowing in a water pipe by applying magnetic field energy.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a line of magnetic force is irradiated from a direction perpendicular to the direction in which water flows, a minute current is generated in the water, and the rotation, expansion and contraction, and vibration of the water molecules are activated by the flow of electrons, and the It is well known that clusters (populations) become smaller and water is activated. As a result, it is known that water becomes easily absorbed by the human body.In addition, the dissolving power and the penetrating power of the water are increased to remove red casting in the water pipe, thereby forming a stable protective film of triiron tetroxide. Therefore, various water treatment apparatuses using permanent magnets are known. Those using this permanent magnet have a simple structure and can be used permanently without applying energy from the outside, so there is no cost for maintenance,
In addition, it has recently received attention because it can be used without contact with water and is also hygienic. Among them, there is known a pair of permanent magnets housed in a split housing in which housings are fixed with water pipes interposed therebetween.

[0003] This conventionally known device has the advantages that the structure is simple and it is sanitary because it does not come in contact with water as described above, but it has a large leakage magnetic flux and the state of the magnetic field is one with respect to water. There was a problem that did not happen. Therefore, the applicant of the present invention has proposed a water treatment apparatus (Japanese Patent Application No. 9-84208) in which the structure is simple and sanitary, the leakage magnetic flux is small, and the state of the magnetic field is made uniform with respect to water. Suggested.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 to 4, reference numeral 1 denotes a casing, which is made of, for example, artificial marble, natural marble, ceramics, or synthetic resin. The casing 1 is formed by connecting one side of a two-part outer enclosure 2 with a hinge 3, and can be opened and closed with each other. Inside each of the outer enclosures 2, 2,
Yoke members 4, 4 each having a substantially U-shaped cross section, permanent magnets 5, and storage portions 2 a, 2 a having a size capable of storing approximately half of the radial portion of the water pipe 8 are provided. I have. The upper and lower ends of each of the outer enclosures 2 are provided with semicircular curved grooves 2b, 2b, 2b, 2b through which half of the water pipe 8 in the radial direction are inserted, respectively. In the hand direction, a locking groove 2 for engaging both ends of a locking tool to be described later.
c, 2c and 2c, 2c are provided. In addition, 2d, 2d ・ 2e, 2e and the small hole 2
f, 2f.2g, 2g are fitted to each other when the outer enclosures 2, 2 are closed, and used for positioning. First, the yoke members 4 having a substantially U-shaped cross section are stored and fixed in each of the storage portions 2 using an adhesive with their open portions facing each other. The yoke members 4, 4 are made of a magnetic material such as an iron plate.

Next, inside each of the yoke members 4, 4,
Ferrite magnets 5a each having an N magnetic pole as an exposed magnetic pole,
Permanent magnets 5 and 5 composed of neodymium magnets 5b and 5b having the S magnetic pole as the exposed magnetic pole are alternately and juxtaposed and fixed using an adhesive, and the permanent magnets on the outer enclosures 2 and 2 side are alternately fixed. The magnets 5, 5 are such that the ferrite magnets 5a, 5a, 5a and the neodymium magnets 5b, 5b face each other with their N and S poles facing each other to form a repulsive magnetic field inside.

Reference numerals 6, 6 denote covers for covering the surfaces of the permanent magnets 5, 5, which are adhered to the surfaces of the permanent magnets 5, 5, respectively.
Reference numeral 7, 7 denotes a cushion material such as rubber or urethane foam for holding a water pipe 8 which passes between the permanent magnets 5, 5 of the outer envelopes 2, 2 and penetrates the outer envelopes 2, 2 vertically. , And are attached to the cover members 6,6. Note that the cushion members 7, 7 do not necessarily have to be attached.

Reference numerals 9 and 9 denote resilient locking members each having a substantially C-shaped cross section, and having both end edges 9a and 9a formed in locking grooves provided on the outer sides of the outer enclosures 2 and 2c. , 2c to keep each of the outer enclosures 2, 2 in a closed state.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, at the time of attachment to a water pipe 8 leading to a faucet in a kitchen, for example, in a general household, the locking members 9, 9 are removed and the outer enclosure 2, 2 is opened. When the water pipe 8 is closed with the water pipe 8 interposed therebetween and the outer enclosures 2 and 2 are locked again with the locking members 9 and 9, the water pipe 8 becomes the outer enclosures 2 and 2.
Between the cushions 7, 7 even if you release your hands, without slipping or moving vertically,
Anyone can easily attach to the water pipe 8. In addition, the diameter of the water pipe 8 is small,
If the holding state cannot be maintained due to 7, a cushion material is further sandwiched between the water pipe 8 and the curved portions 2 b, 2 b. 2 b, 2 b provided on each of the outer enclosures 2. FIG.
Has shown two water treatment devices 12 and 12 attached to the water pipe 8, but may be one. still,
10 is a heat insulating material.

When the work of attaching to the water pipe 8 is completed, the repulsive magnetic field generated by each of the permanent magnets 5 causes the flow of the magnetic force lines shown in FIG. This makes it possible to irradiate lines of magnetic force to water flowing inside. The water pipe 8 includes an iron pipe and a PVC pipe. When the repelling magnetic field is used, the lines of magnetic force are applied to the water in both cases. On the other hand, the permanent magnet 5,
The lines of magnetic force radiated from 5 flow through the yoke members 4 and 4 so that the lines of magnetic force leaking to the outside are cut, and the lines of magnetic force leaking out of the casing 1 become extremely weak.

In the above-described embodiment, the permanent magnets 5 and 5 have the ferrite magnet 5a and the neodymium magnet 5b.
Is used, but it is optional to unify this to one. Ferrite magnets also contemplate far-infrared radiation effects on water. The intensity of the magnetic field lines of the embodiment described above is 1700 gauss.

[0015]

The present invention is configured as described above.
The following effects can be obtained.

According to the first aspect of the invention, even when the water pipe is an iron pipe, the water flowing through the water pipe can be irradiated with the magnetic field lines, and the yoke material can prevent the magnetic field lines from leaking to the outside. In addition to minimizing the effect on sensitive peripheral devices, the fitting to the water pipe of ordinary households can be done by removing the locking device, sandwiching the water pipe between the outer enclosures, closing the outer enclosure, and re-opening the outer enclosure. Since it is a simple operation to lock the surrounding body with the locking tool, it is possible to obtain an effect that anyone can easily attach the surrounding body to the water pipe.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, water is irradiated with far-infrared rays by the ferrite magnet. As a result, the effect of water treatment by the far-infrared rays can be expected.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the casing slides down on the water pipe due to the cushion material,
There can be provided an effect that it can be stably attached without being shifted.
