DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electrolyzed water generator for performing electrolysis using tap water as raw water. More specifically, if desired, cathodic water (alkaline ion water) for drinking is mainly discharged, and strong anodic water (strongly acidic water) for disinfecting, sterilizing and cleaning water, etc.
The present invention relates to an improvement of a multifunctional electrolyzed water generating apparatus which mainly generates water by freely switching water discharging.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In an apparatus that mainly discharges alkaline ionized water, components unsuitable for beverages contained in raw water before supply to an electrolytic cell, for example, chemical components such as odors and chalky, and fine impurities such as polluting components. In order to remove bacteria and bacteria, a water purifier is installed before flowing into the electrolytic cell, raw water such as tap water is supplied to the water purifier for filtration and purification, and calcium as a mineral component flows into the flow path to the anode chamber of the filtered raw water. After the addition of an alkaline earth metal salt such as that described above, it is configured to flow into the electrolytic cell. The electrolytic cell is divided into a cathode chamber and an anode chamber by an ion-permeable membrane in the electrolytic cell, and a negative electrode and a positive electrode are provided in each chamber. Is electrolyzed by energization. Electrolyzed raw water, that is, treated water, is p
The high-H cathodic water is discharged from the anode chamber and the low-pH cathodic water.

[0003] The cathodic water discharged in this way replenishes mineral components that are liable to be lacking in the human body, and moderate alkalinity is said to be effective for preventing acidification of the human body, which is preferable for health. It is used mainly as drinking water under the name of alkaline ionized water as the acting water. On the other hand, the same water discharged from the anode is used as astringent water or the like.

[0004] Apart from the above alkaline ionized water, a slight amount of chlorine and chlorine ions contained in tap water are positively utilized, or halogens such as NaCl and KCl are used as electrolytes in raw water before supply to the electrolytic cell. When the compound is added at a certain ratio and electrolyzed in an electrolytic cell, low pH anodic water containing hypochlorous acid and the like is obtained from the anode chamber. Since this treated water has a strong disinfecting and disinfecting effect, it is useful as disinfecting and disinfecting / cleaning water under the name of strongly acidic water, and is commercially available as an electrolyzed water generator dedicated to strongly acidic water.

[0005] The device for discharging alkaline ionized water and the device for discharging strongly acidic water have almost the same configuration of the electrolytic cell itself. Therefore, both functions can be obtained by changing the dissolved components of raw water supplied to the electrolytic cell. . In other words, by using the same electrolytic cell and appropriately changing the piping, the added chemical solution, the voltage applied to the electrolytic cell, etc., as a device for mainly generating alkaline ionized water in some cases, A multifunctional electrolyzed water generation device that can be used as a device for mainly generating water can be provided.

As an apparatus for producing treated water having different uses, that is, alkaline ionized water and strongly acidic water, with the same apparatus, there is, for example, an apparatus shown in FIG. 7 disclosed in JP-A-9-285789. In this apparatus, a salt addition channel 54 is provided for raw water that has passed through the water purifier 2, and a switching means 51 for opening and closing the salt addition channel is provided. When raw water is used as it is or when strongly acidic water is obtained, the switching means 5 is used.
1 is switched to adjust a constant amount of salt from the salt water tank 52 by the transport pump 53, salt is added to the raw water that has passed through the water purifier 2 through the salt addition flow path 54, and filtered by the water purifier. After increasing the electric conductivity of the purified water, the electrolytic cell 1
Electrolysis in step 2 yields strongly acidic water.

That is, in the above apparatus, the salt water tank is indispensable, and the switching means must be switched. In addition, a mechanism for controlling the amount of salt water to be added from the salt water tank to the clean water flow path is required, such as a transport pump. It is not preferable from the economical point of view as an apparatus for producing alkaline ionized water / strongly acidic water.

[0008] An electrolytic water generating apparatus for discharging alkaline ionized water has an addition cylinder for adding calcium. However, the above-mentioned addition cylinder is unnecessary when discharging strongly acidic water. On the other hand, if a halogen compound such as salt is added to the raw water, the conductivity of the raw water increases, and strongly acidic water containing hypochlorous acid and the like is discharged from the anode chamber of the electrolytic cell. Therefore, the addition cylinders are divided into those for addition of calcium and those for addition of salt, and are replaced when alkaline ionized water is generated and when strongly acidic water is generated. By setting the position and controlling the amount of the drug dissolved and discharged from the addition cylinder, an economical multifunctional electrolyzed water generator can be obtained.

At the same time, by adding a function of clearly informing the user of the respective electrolysis conditions so that the electrolyzed water used as drinking water and the electrolyzed water for sterilization and cleaning do not mix, a safe multifunctional electrolyzed water is provided. A generator is obtained.

[0010] As such an apparatus, the same applicant has disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 10-327556, a first method for adding calcium.
And the second addition cylinder to which salt is added are interchangeably fitted at the same location, the first electrolyte is supplied when the first addition cylinder is inserted, and the second electrolyte is supplied when the second addition cylinder is inserted. (2) While supplying the electrolyte, switch means is provided in the vicinity of an addition cylinder provided below the uppermost part of the electrolytic cell, and a difference between the first and second addition cylinders is identified by the switch means. Changes the amount of dissolved electrolyte discharged to a specific value,
When the first addition cylinder and the second addition cylinder are exchanged, a device for inverting the voltage polarity applied to the negative anode and discharging alkaline ionized water for drinking and strong acid water for sterilization from the same discharge pipe has been proposed.

[0011]

It is extremely dangerous to misunderstand the alkaline ionized water for drinking water and the strong acid water for sterilization discharged from the same discharge pipe. Ingestion of strongly acidic water while considering alkaline ionized water for drinking has a harmful effect on the human body. To this end, a mechanism for preventing confusion is provided in the above-mentioned application technology, and a display indicating the spouting of alkaline ionized water for drinking and strong acidic water for sterilization is provided on the operation panel of the apparatus, but it is not necessarily so erroneous as to cause an error. There was a feeling that it could not be said that it was a sufficient display. In addition, depending on the device, the insertion tube insertion position may be forced to be set at the side of the device. In use, the first addition tube is still inserted or the second addition tube is inserted.
There was a case where it was difficult to understand whether or not the addition cylinder was inserted.

[0012]

A multi-function electrolyzed water generator for discharging water by changing the properties of treated water, wherein the first addition cylinder and the second addition cylinder are interchangeably fitted at the same location, and When the tube is inserted, the first electrolyte is supplied and the second electrolyte is supplied.

It is characterized in that the nature of the treated water can be identified by the discoloration of the lighting in the room from the change in the signal of the switch means and the change in the electrolytic current.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the configuration and operation of a multifunctional water generator according to the present invention. FIG. 1A shows an embodiment in which the electrolyte addition cylinder is a first addition cylinder, and FIG. 1B shows an embodiment in which the electrolyte addition cylinder is a second addition cylinder. Members indicating the same operation and mechanism as those in FIG. 7 are denoted by the same reference numerals. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

In FIG. 1A, reference numeral 1 denotes an on-off valve such as an electromagnetic valve for supplying raw water, and 2 denotes a water purifier for filtering raw water, in which the raw water flows in the direction of the arrow to be purified and becomes purified water. Reference numeral 3 denotes a water discharge pipe of the water purifier, which is divided into a pipe 4 branching from the middle to the first addition cylinder 8-1 and a pipe 5 flowing into the electrolytic cell. The purified water that has passed through the pipe 4 passes through the first addition cylinder 8-1 and joins the purified water flowing through the pipe 5 at the lower port 11 a via the pipe 7. The purified water flowing through the pipe 5 is electrolyzed in a cathode chamber 15 provided with a cathode 14 and an anode chamber 17 provided with an anode 16 which are separated from the lower tube openings 11a and 11b of the electrolytic cell 12 by an ion-permeable diaphragm 13. Then, the cathodic water and the anodic water are discharged from the water discharge ports 18 and 19 of the respective pole chambers.
9 is a flow meter for measuring the amount of water discharged, 10 is a sensor for measuring the pressure of the purified water discharged from the water purifier, and 2
1 is a pressure control means. Also, in FIG.
The purified water flowing through the pipe 4 branched from 3 by the water discharge pipe passes through the second addition cylinder 8-2, and then joins the purified water flowing through the pipe 5 via the pipe 6.

When the alkaline ionized water for drinking is mainly used, the outlet of the alkaline ionized water and the strong acid water for sterilization are made the same, and when the water is discharged from the same discharge pipe, the treated water for the intended use is discharged at the same time. It is easy to use because water is spouted from the tube. For this reason, when the second addition cylinder 8-2 in FIG. 1B is inserted, the switch means 20 for automatically reversing the direction of voltage application to the electrode of the electrolytic cell is provided near the addition cylinder insertion portion. Provided. Based on the signal from the switch means 20, the first
When changing from the addition cylinder 8-1 to the second addition cylinder 8-2,
The voltage application direction is reversed, and the cathode chamber shown in FIG. 1A becomes an anode chamber, and the anode chamber becomes a cathode chamber. The flow meter 9 operates as a flow meter that measures the amount of water discharged in any case of water discharge.

The addition cylinder 8 uses one of a compatible first addition cylinder 8-1 and a second addition cylinder 8-2 that is compatible with the discharge of alkaline ionized water or acidic water. The respective addition cylinders 8-1 and 8-2 are replaced before obtaining desired water discharge. That is, when a calcium agent is put into the first addition cylinder, alkaline ionized water having a high pH and containing a large amount of calcium is discharged from the water discharge port 18. Further, when salt is put in the second addition cylinder 8-2, p
Highly acidic water containing low H and containing hypochlorous acid discharges water.

In order to add a required amount and a chemical solution to the predetermined electrolytic chamber from the addition cylinder 8 under a constant water pressure, either the first addition cylinder 8-1 or the second addition cylinder 8-2 is required. When the liquid is used, the flow path and amount of the chemical solution are selectively changed.
As shown by the solid line in FIG. 1 (a), when the first addition cylinder 8-1 is inserted, the water discharge ports 18, 19 of the electrolytic cell are connected to the addition cylinder 8--1.
1, a part of the purified water flowing out of the pipe 3 from the water purifier 2 dissolves the calcium agent in the addition cylinder 8-1 via the pipe 4, and then electrolyzes via the pipe 7. It flows into the anode compartment of the tank and is electrolyzed with purified water. In this case, since the pipe 6 indicated by the chain line is closed, it is not substantially involved in the operation. On the other hand, when the second addition cylinder 8-2 is inserted, as shown by a solid line in FIG. After dissolving, it is returned to the pipe 5 through the pipe 6, and the pipe openings 11a, 1
From 1b, it is branched to the anode and cathode bipolar chambers of the electrolytic cell and electrolyzed. In this case, since the pipe 7 is closed as shown by a chain line in FIG. 1B, the operation is not substantially involved.

When the water pressure fluctuates, when the pressure sensor 10 exceeds a predetermined value, the opening / closing degree of the on-off valve 1 is changed to control the inflow of raw water and automatically adjust the pressure of purified water flowing through the water discharge pipe 3. Can be made constant. For example, when the pressure sensor 10 determines that the hydrostatic pressure of the raw water is 1.5 kgf / cm ² or more based on the hydrostatic pressure of the purified water, the pressure control means 21 operates, moves the on-off valve 1 in the closing direction, and flows into the water discharge pipe 3. The water pressure of the purified water is 1.0 to 1.2 kgf / cm ²
About. When the pressure sensor 10 determines that the pressure is 1.5 kgf / cm ² or less in terms of the hydrostatic pressure of raw water, the on-off valve 1
The opening and closing degree of is maintained. In this way, the water pressure of the purified water flowing through the water discharge pipe 3 becomes substantially constant regardless of the static water pressure of the raw water. For this reason, the purified water flowing to the addition cylinder 8 via the pipe 4 becomes a fixed amount, and the amount of the chemical solution dissolved and discharged from the addition cylinder 8 becomes constant.

FIGS. 2A and 2B show the first addition cylinder 8-1.
FIG. 4 is a partially cutaway sectional view showing the structure of a second addition cylinder 8-2.

The addition cylinders 8-1 and 8-2 are cylindrical storage containers having substantially the same shape, and the target pipe mouths 25, 26 and 27 to be inserted into the ends of the pipes 4, 6 and 7 are inserted. In addition, it is configured to be detachable via the packing 28 by moving in the horizontal direction in the figure with respect to the pipe 4, the pipe 6, and the pipe 7. In the addition cylinder 8-1, the hole of the pipe port 26a is closed, and the purified water flowing from the pipe 4 flows from the pipe port 25a to the pipe port 27a. Therefore, when the cap 30 is opened and the drug containing calcium is filled in the addition cylinder, the drug dissolves in the purified water and the purified water containing the drug is discharged from the tube opening 27a. Similarly, in the addition cylinder 8-2, the hole of the pipe port 27b is closed, and the purified water flowing from the pipe 4 flows from the pipe port 25b to the pipe port 26b. Therefore, when the salt is inserted into the addition cylinder 8-2, the salt is dissolved in purified water to be converted into a salt solution and discharged from the mouth 26b. In order to prevent the medicine and salt from being sent to the electrolytic cell in a solid state, a filter for preventing solids may be provided at the mouth 27a and the mouth 26b.

The mouths of the addition cylinders 8-1 and 8-2 are opened so as to regulate the optimum solubility of the drug and the salt, but the diameter for the salt is generally set smaller than that of the drug. . This diameter can be appropriately changed depending on the allowable current capacity of the electrolytic cell and the desired strength of the acidic water (for example, ORP).

The tube opening 29 shown in FIG. 2 (b) is for sensing the addition cylinder 8-2, and is brought into contact with the switch means 20 when the addition cylinder is inserted in the left direction in the figure. It can be seen that the addition cylinder is the one into which the salt was inserted.

As described above, when the first addition cylinder and the second addition cylinder are exchanged, the switch means 20 is operated, and the voltage applied to the electrode to the electrolytic cell is inverted. However, it is dangerous to use the alkaline ionized water converted into acidic water at the same time as the inversion. There is a time lag before the dissolved saline solution is electrolyzed from the second addition cylinder through the pipe 6. On the other hand, when the purified water contains a saline solution, the conductivity of the purified water increases, and the current flowing between the negative and positive electrodes increases rapidly. vice versa,
When the second addition cylinder is replaced with the first addition cylinder, the switch means 20 is released from operation, and the voltage applied to the electrode to the electrolytic cell is inverted, and the voltage is applied in the direction of application of the alkaline ionized water. Also in this case, it is dangerous to use the acidic water converted into alkali ion water at the same time as the inversion. There is a time lag before the dissolved chemical solution is electrolyzed from the first addition cylinder. To avoid this danger, switch means 2
By displaying the electrolyzed water discharged from the change in the conductivity of the purified water along with the operation of 0, whether the electrolyzed water is true alkaline ionized water or acidic water, the apparatus user can confirm the safety.

In the drawing, reference numeral 31 denotes a control switch for switching between an alkali, an acid and their concentrations.
Reference numeral 32 denotes an electrolysis degree varying unit that varies an electrolysis current in accordance with a flow rate of flowing water or a signal from the control switch 31.

The current sensor includes a comparator 38 for determining whether the current value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. The gate 39 is connected to one end of the gate 39. On the other hand, a signal from the switch means 20 is connected to the other end of the gate 39 via the flip-flop 40.
The signal from the flip-flop 40 and the output terminal signal of the gate 39 are input to the water discharge display controller 41. Now, when the signal from the flip-flop 40 is on and the output terminal signal of the gate 39 is off, the water discharge display illumination 35a is turned on,
When the signal from the flip-flop 40 is on and the output terminal signal of the gate 39 is on, the water discharge display illumination 35b is turned on, and if the color is such that each of the water discharge display illuminations 35a and 35b can be identified, the user of the apparatus can determine that the water discharge is true. Can be confirmed as alkaline ionized water or acidic water.

The luminous colors of 5a and 35b use the same color lamps, and may be colored by passing through a colored film so as to correspond to the luminous colors, or lighting members having different luminous colors may be used from the beginning. In addition, although the case of the water purifier storage chamber was illustrated in the figure, the addition pipe insertion chamber may be used, and both chambers may be illuminated the same. Further, it may be linked with the display device 34 of the operation panel 48.
