Description

  The present invention relates to a water purifier, and more particularly to a household water purifier that purifies water supplied from a water tap to a water-supplied device such as a bathtub or a washing tub.

  Household water purifiers are generally widely used due to further improvement in quality of tap water and changes in taste, and most of them are directly attached to a faucet portion of tap water. There are various water faucet shapes in order to improve the taste and design of the user, and the structure of the faucet fitting part of the water purifier becomes complicated when the faucet is attached to the faucet of various shapes. . Therefore, it is also possible to prepare a water purifier having a plurality of types of faucet fitting portions corresponding to each of the faucet shapes so that the faucet can be individually adapted and attached to these various faucet shapes. It can be considered, but it is very disadvantageous in terms of cost.

Here, with reference to Patent Literature 1, a water purifier is installed in the middle of a water supply hose between a water tap and a shower nozzle in a bathroom, and the water purifier is fixedly installed on a wall surface of the bathroom. Is disclosed.
Registered Utility Model No. 3009615

  The above-mentioned shower water purifier is fixed to the wall surface of the bathroom and is also fixed to the water supply hose, so it is difficult for ordinary users to replace the water purifier. It is. Further, if the installation location is determined to be the shower part of the bathroom, there is also a problem that the degree of freedom such as relocation to another location is scarce because of the fixed installation. Furthermore, there is a disadvantage that it is necessary to ask a trader even when the water purifier needs to be replaced.

  In particular, in the case of a household water purifier, it is small and inexpensive, easy to remove and replace, and when used as drinking water or bath water as well as powerful water purification function. It is necessary that the water passed through the water purifier works well without adversely affecting the human body, and when used as washing water, the washing function should not be reduced even if the amount of detergent is reduced. There is a need. Furthermore, it is also required that rust and dirt do not adhere to a bathtub or a washing tub.

  There is a need for a small and inexpensive replaceable household water purifier that satisfies all these requirements.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of such a demand, and the object thereof is that there is no limitation on an installation place, and a water supply tub in a home such as a washing tub or a bath tub can be freely provided. It is an object of the present invention to provide a household water purifier which can be attached to and detached from a household.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a strong water purification function despite being inexpensive, small and lightweight, to act well on the human body, and to prevent dirt such as rust from adhering to the water supply tank. Another object of the present invention is to provide a household water purifier that is less environmentally friendly by reducing the amount of detergent.

  According to the present invention, a main body case filled with a water purifying agent, fitting portions provided at both ends of the main body case and detachable from a water supply hose, and magnetic energy applied to water provided in the main body case are provided. A water purifier characterized in that the water purifier comprises:

Further, a spacer having a plurality of through holes having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the water purification agent is provided at each of a water supply port and a water discharge port of the main body case. Further, a shower net for preventing dust from entering is provided on a water supply surface of the spacer at the water supply port.

  Further, at least one of a water supply port and a drain port of the main body case is configured to be freely openable, and the water purifier can be removed when the main body case is opened.

  According to the present invention, at both ends of a main body filled with a water purifying agent, and provided with a hose fitting portion that is detachable from a hose, and a magnet that generates a strong magnetic force is provided to provide magnetic energy to tap water. Is applied, so that it has extremely powerful water purification action and can be attached and detached very easily by the user to and from a water supply tank such as a home bathtub or a washing tub. And it can be easily supplied at low cost.

  In particular, by using a magnet, magnetic energy acts, and the penetration power, dissolving power, and water purification power of tap water are improved, so that a good effect on the human body is further improved, and the washing power is also improved. The amount of the detergent can be greatly reduced, which has a great effect that the cost for the detergent can be reduced and the pollution to the global environment can be reduced. In particular, when the magnet and the far-infrared ceramic are used together, a synergistic effect of the magnetic energy and the far-infrared energy is generated, and the above effect is further enhanced.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a household water purifier according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which a case is peeled off so that the inside can be partially visually recognized. 2 is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line BB of FIG.

  Referring to these figures, the water purifier according to the present invention has a cylindrical main case 11 and a sub case 12 constituting a cartridge type main body 10, and the main case 11 and the sub case 12 are bonded to each other. It is integrated by the agent. A water purification agent 20 is filled in the cylindrical internal space of the main body 10 in which the cases 11 and 12 are integrated.

  The cylindrical end of the sub case 12 on the side opposite to the bonding portion to the main case 11 is a cylinder having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the cylindrical space filled with the water purification agent 20 (referred to as a small diameter cylinder). Magnet insertion holes 13a for inserting the magnets 16a are provided at positions facing each other on the outer peripheral surface of the small-diameter cylinder. By inserting the magnet 16a into the pair of magnet insertion holes 13a and fixing it with an adhesive, the magnetic force of the pair of opposed magnets 16a acts on water passing therethrough.

  Similarly, the cylindrical end of the main case 11 on the side opposite to the bonding portion to the sub case 12 is a cylinder (small diameter cylinder) having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the cylindrical space filled with the water purification agent 20. A magnet insertion hole 13b for inserting the magnet 16b is provided at a position opposing each other on the outer peripheral surface of the small diameter cylinder. By inserting the magnet 16b into the pair of magnet insertion holes 13b and fixing them with an adhesive, the magnetic force of the pair of opposed magnets 16b acts on the water passing therethrough.

  Hose fitting parts 15a and 15b to which a water supply hose (not shown) is detachably attached are attached to the distal ends of these small-diameter cylinders. The hose fitting portions 15a and 15b are provided with hose retaining rings 21a and 21b, and FIG. 4 shows a state in which the water supply hose 30 and the hose fitting portion 15b are fitted. The hose fitting portion has a generally well-known structure, and is not a characteristic feature of the present invention. Therefore, detailed description thereof is omitted.

  1, water is supplied from the sub case 12 side of the main body cartridge 10 and purified water is discharged from the main case 11 side. In this case, a shower net 18 and a spacer 17a are provided in this order at the boundary between the small-diameter cylindrical portion of the sub case 12 serving as the water supply port and the water-purifying agent-filled cylindrical portion in this order from the water supply port. As shown in FIG. 5, the shower net 18 is a net for preventing intrusion of unnecessary objects such as dust.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the spacer 17 a is provided with a plurality of through holes 31 having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the water purification agent 20. 6A is a plan view of the spacer 17a, and FIG. 6B is a cross-sectional view of the spacer 17a taken along line CC. As shown in the figure, the holes 31 are provided in a plurality of rows, and ridge-shaped convex portions 32 are provided between these rows.

  Further, a spacer 17b is provided at a boundary between the small-diameter cylindrical portion of the main case 11 serving as an outlet and the water-purifying agent-filled cylindrical portion, and no shower net is provided. This spacer 17b has the same structure as the spacer 17a shown in FIG.

  As the water purification agent 20, far-red (far-infrared) ceramic or tourmaline ceramic is used. Far-red ceramics radiate far-infrared rays, have the effect of suppressing chlorine odor, prevent algae, prevent rust, etc., and can provide a large amount of far-infrared radiation even at low temperatures. Tourmaline ceramic emits a weak current, and has a function of changing tap water to weakly alkaline reduced water by a negative ion effect. Since these ceramics are sintered at a high temperature of about 1,300 ° C, they have excellent durability and abrasion resistance, so that they can be used semi-permanently and do not require maintenance such as replacement and cleaning. There is an advantage that it becomes.

  The human body is oxidized due to factors such as eating habits, fatigue, and stress, resulting in health problems. Therefore, by making the blood slightly alkaline by the negative ion effect of the tourmaline ceramic, the immunity function inherent to humans is enhanced. Negative ions entering from acupoints with low electrical resistance of the skin of the human body activate weakened cells, and can be expected to be effective for recovery from fatigue, stiff shoulders, allergic diseases, atopy, and other adult diseases and gynecological diseases.

  The synergistic effect of the negative ion effect of this tourmaline ceramic and the far-infrared effect of far-red ceramic expands human blood capillaries and promotes blood circulation.There is also a warming effect that warms from the core of the body and activates metabolism. .

  Further, when tourmaline is put into water, various bacteria are sterilized by electrolysis of a weak current radiated from the tourmaline, and the water is converted into weakly alkaline reduced water. Further, as shown in FIG. Since the cluster 100 is made thinner, the rate of absorption into cells also increases. In FIG. 7, reference numeral 200 denotes chlorine and harmful substances contained in the clusters of water molecules. After electrolysis of water, the clusters of water molecules are decomposed into small pieces, and the harmful substances are decomposed and become harmless. . Reference numeral 201 denotes a harmless substance after decomposition.

  Therefore, if tap water is introduced into this water purifier and supplied to the bathtub, it becomes extremely good bath water for the human body. In addition, since it has the effect of suppressing chlorine odor, preventing algae, and preventing rust, rust and dirt in a bathtub or a washing tub are prevented.

  Further, effects of the magnets 16a and 16b will be described. First of all, there is an active water effect. Due to the effects of magnetism and electromagnetic waves, the oxidation-reduction potential decreases and the osmotic pressure increases. The intermolecular bonds between liquid and gas are broken, and the molecules become smaller. The active oxygen is converted to latent active oxygen, and the ion-activated water has a high mineral solubility and is easily absorbed by the human skin.

  By using strong magnets of, for example, about 3200 gauss, as the magnets 16a and 16b, tap water passes between the magnets to receive strong magnetic energy and also to emit far-infrared energy by far-red ceramic. Will receive it. As a result, the clusters of water molecules are subdivided and atomized, whereby the natural power of water is restored, and the activation of osmotic power, dissolving power, water purification power, etc. is improved. Therefore, the power for dissolving the detergent is increased, and it is possible to penetrate deep into the fiber, and it is possible to select a detergent amount of about 1/10 of the conventional amount, and the amount of the detergent is reduced, which is friendly to the global environment. At the same time, costs for detergents can be reduced.

  Secondly, it has antibacterial and antialgal effects. Affects bacteria, viruses, bacteria and algae and prevents them from growing. In addition, the magnetic force acts on cells and nuclei to suppress proliferation.

  Thirdly, it has a rust-preventive effect. Under the influence of magnetism and electromagnetic waves, red rust changes to black rust, and no red rust occurs in bathtubs or washing tubs.

  Fourth, there is a beauty effect. Due to the effects of magnetism and electromagnetic waves, the activity of residual chlorine contained in tap water is limited, the intermolecular bonds of liquids and gases are broken, and it becomes easy to inactivate.

  In the above-described embodiment, far-infrared ceramics and tourmaline ceramics are used as a mixture as the water purification agent 20, but the water purification effect is sufficient with only one of them. In addition, although the magnets 16a and 16b are provided at both the inlet and the outlet, it goes without saying that they may be provided at only one of them. Further, the main case 11 and the sub case 12 may be made of a transparent material, for example, a plastic material so that the state (dirt condition, etc.) can be visually observed from the outside.

  The reason for using the spacers 17a and 17b shown in FIG. 6 is to prevent the flow of water from being blocked by the ball-shaped water purifying agent 20, and to form a plurality of through holes 31 uniformly over the entire spacer. The provision prevents water from flowing only to the central portion and allows the water to flow almost uniformly over the cylindrical space.

  The position at which the magnet is provided is not limited to the example of FIG. 1, and the point is that the structure may be such that magnetic energy can be applied to water. Further, although a columnar magnet is used as the magnet, a belt-like magnet may be wound around a cylindrical case.

  FIG. 8 is a view showing another embodiment of the present invention, in which (A) is a side view, (B) is a longitudinal sectional view of (A), and parts equivalent to those in FIG. I have. In this example, the main case 11 of the main body 10 is freely openable at both ends, that is, at a water supply port and a drain port, and at the time of opening, the used water purification agent (20 in FIG. 1) filled in the case. ) Is eliminated and it is easy to replace it with a new water purifier.

  That is, the sub-cases 12a and 12b and the main case 11 are configured to be screwable with the screws 41a and 41b. In this example, the magnets 16a and 16b are formed in a ring shape and provided on the outer peripheral portions of the sub-cases 12a and 12b, and have the same operation and effect as the example of FIG. Reference numerals 42a and 42b denote O-rings.

  Also in this example, as in the example of FIG. 1, it is assumed that spacers 17a and 17b and a shower net (not shown) are provided. Although not shown, the hoses are fixed between the hose fitting portions 15a and 15b and the hose retaining rings 21a and 21b, respectively.

  In addition, instead of having a structure that can be opened at both ends of the main case 11, a structure that can be opened at one end may be used. In short, it is only necessary that the charged water purifier can be replaced.
