Next, the operation and operation of the first embodiment in the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS.

First, when the power of the device is turned on and a SW button (not shown) is operated according to the purpose of use, the water supply means 21 is operated by the device control unit 33, that is, the electric open / close valve 21 is operated.
c is opened for a predetermined time, and the water supply passage 21a
The water whose flow rate is controlled by the constant flow rate governor 21b is supplied from the water inlet 20f through the first inlet to the electrolytic tank 20c by a predetermined amount, and the equipment controller 33 injects the saturated saline solution and The amount of electricity supplied between the electrodes 20a and 20b is determined by calling a condition from a storage unit (not shown) of the device control means 30.

When water is supplied into the electrolytic cell 20c, the operation shifts to a saturated saline solution supply operation. By the signal transmitted from the device control unit 33, the liquid in the electrolytic tank 20c is suctioned by the liquid pump 23e via the second water outlet 20e and the inflow pipe 23c by operating the liquid pump 23e for a predetermined time, Water is discharged from the discharge side of the liquid sending pump 23e. In this case, the internal pressure of the salt tank 23b is increased, and the saturated saline solution (saturated solubility: 26%) in the salt tank is pushed out and supplied from the saline solution inlet 20g to the lower part of the electrolytic cell 20c through the outlet pipe 23d. Is done. At this time, the supplied saturated saline solution stays near the bottom of the electrolytic cell 20c due to its specific gravity.

When a predetermined amount of the saturated saline solution is supplied, an electrolysis operation is performed, the DC power supply 20h is operated, a voltage is applied between the anode 20a and the cathode 20b, and the electrolysis is started. The electrolysis at this time is performed by constant current control.

Immediately after the start of electrolysis, most of the anode 20a and the cathode 20b are in contact with water, so that electrolysis of water occurs preferentially, generating hydrogen and oxygen gas at the anode 20a and the cathode 20b. . Because these gases are lighter than water,
It floats on the upper part of the electrolytic cell 20c. Due to the movement of the gas, an upward water flow is generated between the anode 20a and the cathode 20b. Then, the saline solution retained at the bottom of the electrolytic cell 20c is sucked up between the anode 20a and the cathode 20b by the flow of water generated by the floating of the gas, and diffuses into the water in the electrolytic cell 20c. It is generally said that the higher the chlorine ion concentration, the higher the efficiency of the production of chlorine compounds such as hypochlorous acid (hereinafter referred to as hypochlorous acid), and the reaction of Chemical Formula 1 is more likely to occur.

(Chemical Formula 1) 2Cl ⁻ + 2e ⁻ → Cl ₂ ↑ Cl ₂ + OH ⁻ → HClO + Cl ⁻ Cl ₂ + 2OH ⁻ → ClO ⁻ + Cl ⁻ + H ₂ O Also, when hypochlorous acid is produced by electrolysis, The amount of saline greatly affects the efficiency of hypochlorous acid production. That is, when the supply amount of the saline solution to the electrolytic cell 20c increases, the generation efficiency increases, the concentration of generated hypochlorous acid in the electrolytic tank 20c increases, and when the supply amount of the saline solution decreases,
The production concentration of hypochlorous acid decreases. Therefore, a fixed amount of saturated saline is sent by the liquid sending pump 23e.

Further, if current is supplied between the anode 20a and the cathode 20b from the DC power supply 20h at a constant current for a fixed time, hypochlorous acid having substantially the same concentration can be generated each time. That is, the generation concentration of hypochlorous acid, which is electrolyzed water, is determined by the supply amount of salt and the amount of electricity between the anode 20a and the cathode 20b.

Next, when the electrolysis operation is completed, a transfer operation of the electrolyzed water is performed. The water supply means 21 is operated by the signal transmitted from the equipment control unit 33, and the water supplied from the faucet 22 is supplied into the electrolytic tank 20c, and is pushed out from the first water outlet, and the transfer pipe 25 is moved. Via the storage tank 24. At this time, the water level in the storage tank 24 is detected by the detection unit 29a of the storage amount determination unit 29, and the calculation unit 29b calculates the storage amount value to determine the storage amount of the electrolyzed water. In addition, in the operation of generating and transferring the electrolyzed water, the storage amount is Vc
This is performed until the capacity of the storage tank 24 reaches the limit.

The operation of generating the electrolyzed water until the capacity limit is reached is when the electrolyzed water is generated for the first time, or the generated electrolyzed water is used automatically or manually, and the water level at which all the generated electrolyzed water can be transferred, that is, Va. It will be done if: However, the electrolyzed water in the storage tank 24 is used, and the amount of the electrolyzed water in the storage tank 24 is larger than a predetermined amount Va and equal to or less than Vb, that is, the electrolyzed water is generated in the electrolyzer 20c, and all the generated electrolyzed water cannot be transferred. In such a state, only the electrolyzed water is generated, and the electrolyzed water is generated in the electrolyzer 20c so that the electrolyzed water can be transferred when the amount of the electrolyzed water in the storage tank 24 reaches Va.

When the electrolyzed water is transferred into the storage tank 24 as described above, a water intake operation is performed and the electrolyzed water can be used.

Next, the operation of taking in the electrolytic water will be described.

First, when automatically used for the purpose of suppressing slime and disinfecting the drain port of the sink, the 3 setting button 34a
Then, the time is displayed on the display panel 34b. After that, the time at which the electrolytic water is discharged is set with the setting button 35a, or the discharge-time tube interval is set with the time interval setting button 35b. As a result, the information input to the timer means 32 is sent, and the next set time for the electrolytic water is displayed on the display panel 35c.

Thereafter, when an automatic ejection selection button (not shown) on the operation panel 31 is selected, information on the selected button is sent to the device control unit 33. Further, at the set time, a sound and a light for notifying the water-intake start notice of the notifying unit 31 by the device control unit 33 are generated by the lamp 32a and the buzzer 32.
Inform the user with b. Thereafter, when a predetermined time T0 elapses, the water intake pump 26b operates for the predetermined time T1, and the electrolytic water in the storage tank housing 24a is sucked from the liquid outlet 24b and discharged from the water intake pipe 26a. Along with the start of the discharge, a sound or light different from that at the time of the notice is given to notify the user.
Thereafter, if the operation is stopped for a predetermined time T2, the electric three-way valve 28 switches the flow path from the electrolytic tank 23c side to the bypass pipe 27 side,
The electric on-off valve 21c is opened. In this case, the tap water is discharged from the discharge port 26c via the bypass pipe 27 for a predetermined time T3 and stopped. Time interval setting button 3
In the case where the discharge tube interval is set in 5b, this operation is repeated if the interval time T4 has elapsed since the start of the discharge of the electrolytic water.

If this operation is continuously performed, the amount of electrolyzed water in the storage tank will be equal to or less than the predetermined amount. Discharge can be continuously performed. According to our experiments, although there are some differences depending on the concentration and discharge amount of electrolytic water and the discharge amount of tap water, it is enough to perform the operation several times a day to suppress the occurrence of slime caused by bacteria and the like. At the same time, it has been confirmed that it does not corrode the sink material.

Although the automatic discharging operation of the electrolytic water has been described, there may be a case where it is not desired to automatically discharge the electrolytic water while using the sink of the sink. In this case, the automatic discharge of the electrolytic water is stopped in advance by the stop button of the temporary setting change unit 36, or the stop button 3
If the operation is stopped at 6a or the time is temporarily delayed by the delay setting button 36b, the discharge of the electrolytic water into the sink can be stopped for a predetermined time or less.

Next, when the electrolyzed water is manually discharged and used at any time, a water intake amount selection button (not shown) on the operation panel 31 is used.
Is selected, the information of the selected button is stored in the device control unit 33.
And the device control unit 33 operates the water intake pump 26b, so that the electrolytic water in the storage tank housing 24a is sucked from the liquid outlet 24b and discharged from the water intake pipe 26a by a predetermined amount, and the notification means 31 The middle buzzer 31a operates to notify that the electrolytic water is being discharged. Thereafter, when a predetermined amount is discharged (control based on the electrolytic water discharge time), the water intake pump 26b stops and the discharge operation ends.

When a water intake amount selection button (not shown) on the operation panel 31 is selected, when discharging the electrolytic water, the storage tank 24 is selected.
Since the opening 24c is provided above the opening, the pressure on the suction side of the water intake pump 26b is constant because the air is opened to the atmosphere. By controlling the operation of the water intake pump 26b, the water intake amount can be stabilized. Becomes

As described above, according to the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

(1) At the time of notice of discharge of electrolytic water, at the time of discharge of electrolytic water,
By changing the sound and light notification methods when tap water is discharged, the user can understand the state of the apparatus.

(2) The provision of the automatic mode and the manual mode allows not only disinfection of the drainage port and prevention of slime, but also placing dishes in a washing tub in advance and receiving automatically discharged electrolytic water. In this way, bleaching can be performed automatically.

(3) Since the discharge time is displayed,
The user can grasp the working time in the sink until the discharge of the electrolytic water.

(4) Since the storage tank is provided, even when a large amount of high-concentration electrolyzed water is desired to be used, the electrolyzed water can be used without shortage, and the usability is improved. Even if it is insufficient, it is possible to make up for some shortage by generating electrolyzed water in the electrolytic cell in advance.

After discharging water and leaving it for a predetermined time,
Tap water can be discharged. Therefore, it is possible to automatically suppress the slime of the drain outlet and prevent the generation of offensive odor due to the propagation of garbage and bacteria. Further, it is possible to prevent corrosion of the sink and save labor for cleaning by the user.

Further, the provision of the notifying means for notifying the start and the operation of the discharging operation of the electrolyzed water or the tap water and the stopping or changing means of the discharging operation makes it possible to recognize that the discharged liquid is the electrolyzed water. Can be prevented from being mistaken for a failure. Further, even if the electrolyzed water is working inside the sink at the time of discharge, the start of the electrolyzed water discharge operation can be stopped or delayed, and the work can be continued.

Further, by providing the storage means for the electrolyzed water,
Even if the amount used temporarily is large, it can be used without running out of electrolyzed water.
