[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as this kind of chlorine generator, a chlorine generator in which a pair of flat plate electrodes composed of an anode and a cathode are provided in a cistern is generally known. According to this chlorine generator, a direct current is applied to each electrode at predetermined intervals by a timer to electrolyze drinking water in the cistern, thereby generating effective chlorine (hypochlorous acid), which is an effective component for sterilization. Let me.

[0003] However, in this chlorine generator, since the cis-turn is open or almost open, the generated effective chlorine easily evaporates to the outside, and bacteria and the like enter from the outside to cause water pollution. is there.

In order to solve such a problem, the applicant has proposed a chlorine generator according to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-114566. The chlorine generator has a sealed water storage container for storing chlorine ion-containing water such as tap water pumped through a water supply pipe, and is arranged concentrically at a predetermined interval in the water storage container and is supplied with a direct current. A pair of cylindrical electrodes, a water passage for passing water in the water reservoir between the inner and outer electrodes, and a water supply passage for supplying water passing through the water passage to a terminal such as a faucet or a beverage machine. This is a closed-type chlorine generator that supplies a direct current to each electrode and performs electrolysis to generate water containing available chlorine.

[0005] According to this chlorine generator, a cistern type chlorine generator that makes available water contained in the water stored in the water storage container at the time of water stoppage, and a flowing water type chlorine generator that makes available water contain water at the time of water supply. Since both of these functions are provided, the sterilized water can be supplied stably, and the size can be reduced as compared with the cistern type chlorine generator.

[0006]

The closed-type chlorine generator is mounted on a domestic drinking water dispenser or a commercial beverage dispenser. However, when a direct current is applied to each electrode. Is when a beverage supply signal is output to the dispenser (or dispenser) (energization during running water) and for a predetermined time after the end of running water (energization during stopping water).

Further, when a direct current is applied to each electrode, chlorine is generated, and this generated chlorine instantaneously dissolves in water and becomes hypochlorous acid or hypochlorite ion in the water. On the other hand, this electrolysis generates hydrogen gas on the cathode side and generates oxygen gas on the anode side.

Here, hydrogen gas or oxygen gas is generated as fine bubbles, and many of them are fused with each other to form large bubbles and stay at the upper part of the water storage container. And stay in the water in the water reservoir.

When water is supplied to the dispenser (or dispenser) in such a situation, the color of the supplied water is slightly increased because minute bubbles floating in the water storage container are mixed with the supplied water and supplied. It became milky white, which was inconvenient in terms of beverage quality.

An object of the present invention is to provide a chlorine generator which regulates the flow of a bubble-like electrolytic gas and prevents the supply of gas-mixed water in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems.

[0011]

And a guide tube that forms a turbulent flow in the flow of water.

According to the present invention, when flowing water into a beverage machine or the like, the water flowing into the space inside the inner electrode causes a turbulent flow in the flange portion of the guide cylinder, and minute bubbles of the electrolytic gas gather. Large bubbles rise to the top of the water storage container and accumulate at the top of the storage container. This reduces the amount of electrolytic gas mixed into the water supplied to the beverage machine or the like.

When a gas release mechanism is provided in the water storage container of the chlorine generator according to any one of the first to seventh aspects, the electrolytic gas accumulated in the water storage container can be discharged to the outside.
