Description

  The present invention relates to a water purification apparatus and water purification.

  In nature, the Leonard effect of a waterfall is known. The Leonard effect is that when the waterfall falls drastically at the waterfall and repeatedly collides with the waterfall of the waterfall, when the water droplet breaks up into finer waterdrops, the water surface of the divided waterfall takes positive (+) electricity, Air is a phenomenon that is negatively charged. At the waterfall, a large amount of negatively charged air is sent into the water, and the air bubbles generated at this time are also negatively charged. As a result, the surface of the water droplet is negatively charged (−), the air adjacent thereto is charged positively (+), and an electric double layer exists. Here, the distance between the water droplet surface and the air adjacent to this is very short, and when a new water surface touches the air, positive ions in the air are adsorbed on the water surface to form the outside of this double layer, so the air Is negatively charged (-). Thus, there are many negative ions near the waterfall and fountain.

  In nature, when the electric field is strong, the tip of a pointed conductor in the strong electric field may emit light. This is called the so-called St. Elmo fire, and in thunderstorms or heavy winds and snows, the electric field becomes very strong and appears at the top of temple towers, lightning rods, ship masts, and the tip of the climber's fingertips at the summit. This is a discharge phenomenon, in which blue light is emitted. This is because the electric field at the tip becomes very strong, and the speed of ions in the air also increases, colliding with air molecules and ionizing them. This is a phenomenon that emits radiant waves and emits light when released electrons recover. In this way, ions in the air collide with air molecules, and new ions are generated in the air.

  In the natural world, the photoelectric effect is known. The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon in which all solids emit electrons from the surface when irradiated with light of a certain wavelength. In the atmosphere, the emitted electrons are attached to gas molecules and become light ions having a negative (−) charge, and the solid is charged positively (+). By the way, studies such as Leonard, Thomson, and Brenley have revealed that ultraviolet rays ionize gas. That is, it is known that both positive ions and negative ions increase in the atmosphere due to ultraviolet rays.

Furthermore, in the natural world, it is known that there is a lot of spring water that has passed through the formation containing magnetite due to the interaction between electromagnetic induction and Lorentz force. Here, Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction is based on the principle (Faraday's law) that when a conductor crosses a magnetic field at a right angle, free electrons are polarized in the conductor and an induced voltage is generated. In Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, when the conductor is replaced with a fluid (water stream), water molecules in the water stream cause free electron polarization, and when the water stream negatively charged by the free electrons moves in the magnetic field, A predetermined electromotive force is generated. The Lorentz force is a force acting on charged particles moving in a magnetic field. When electrons are incident perpendicular to a magnetic field having a uniform magnetic flux density, the electrons in the magnetic field exert a Lorentz force in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field and velocity. In response, the electrons perform a constant velocity circular motion with the Lorentz force as the centripetal force. These synergistic effects cause the active state of water (excitation phenomenon).
The water on the earth is purified through each of the above natural phenomena. The purified water has a high concentration of negative ions, has a high amount of dissolved oxygen, has a low oxidation-reduction potential and electrical conductivity, has good permeability, and is a weakly alkaline purified water with few impurities.

Heretofore, several devices for purifying water having a low redox potential using an electrostatic field or an electrolytic effect have been reported as reduced water, electrolyzed water or ionic water (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 4). ). However, both of these artificially produce water with a low redox potential as a result, and the idea is to create a state close to the phenomenon of the natural world with a device that deserves the natural world and purify the water with a combined effect The thing by is not seen.

  The phenomenon described above is observed in nature, and it has not been possible to produce artificially purified water under conditions that closely resemble each natural phenomenon.

  In view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides a water purifier that can produce artificially purified water under conditions that closely resemble each natural phenomenon, and water purified obtained by the purifier. Objective.

  The invention according to claim 1 is a water purifier for purifying the water by circulating water inside the circulation path together with air, and the water drop that causes water molecules to collide with each other by repeatedly dropping water in the circulation path An ionization unit that emits free electrons into the circulation path and applies a voltage in a state where the electric field is strengthened to collide ions with air molecules or water molecules, and an ultraviolet irradiation unit that irradiates the circulation path with ultraviolet rays, And a magnetic field application unit that applies a magnetic field to the circulation path.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, in the water dropping part, water is repeatedly dropped in the circulation path so that the water molecules collide with each other. Thereby, water molecules (clusters) are subdivided into water with high permeability and a large amount of dissolved oxygen.
Further, in the ionization unit, a voltage is applied in a state where free electrons are emitted to the circulation path and the electric field becomes strong. As a result, positive ions or negative ions are generated by the so-called Leonard effect and free electron emission effect. The positive ions or negative ions repeatedly collide with air molecules or water molecules to cause collision ionization. As a result, a large amount of negative ions is generated.

  In the ultraviolet irradiation unit, the circulation path is irradiated with ultraviolet rays. By irradiating with ultraviolet rays, the circulation path is sterilized, and ionization of water circulating in the circulation path is promoted by free electrons released by the ionization unit. At this time, the supplied free electrons and positive ions are combined. The free electrons supplied at this time promote the dissociation reaction (H2O → OH− + H +) and increase hydroxide ions (OH−). Thereby, the sodium ion and calcium ion in water also increase, and the density | concentration of a hydroxide ion becomes high. As a result, water becomes weakly alkaline.

  Furthermore, when a magnetic field is applied to the circulation path in the magnetic field application unit, the free electrons of the outermost electron nuclei of oxygen molecules in the air passing through this magnetic field are polarized and induced by the action of attractive force and repulsive force by the magnetic field. At the same time as generating a voltage, charged particles tend to collect in a strong magnetic field. As a result of the crowding of positive or negative charged particles, the charged particles collide violently and begin molecular vibrations. As a result, there are molecules in which free electrons of the outermost electron nucleus are emitted due to repeated collisions between molecules having kinetic energy, and molecules that return to the original state due to the electric attraction of the nucleus. The emitted electrons are combined with molecules such as water and air to become negative ions. In addition, molecules whose electrons have returned to their original state generate infrared rays, microwaves, and the like with their kinetic energy. This microwave absorbs electron spin resonance and stabilizes it in a fine cluster state. As a result, the water permeability becomes high, and the residual chlorine becomes hydroxide ions and chloride ions due to the ionic polarization action, and the conductivity of water decreases.

The invention according to claim 2 is characterized by water purification obtained by the water purification apparatus according to claim 1.
According to the invention described in claim 2, since it is obtained by the water purifier according to claim 1, it has a high concentration of negative ions, is weakly alkaline, has a high dissolved oxygen content and high permeability, and is further oxidized. Both the reduction potential and the conductivity are lowered.

  Since the invention described in claim 1 is manufactured by a water purifier having a water dropping part, an ionization part, an ultraviolet irradiation part and a magnetic field application part, it has a high concentration of negative ions, is weakly alkaline, and has dissolved oxygen. It is possible to obtain purified water that is high in amount and permeability, and that has both low redox potential and low electrical conductivity.

  Since invention of Claim 2 is the purified water manufactured by the water purifier of Claim 1, it has a high concentration of negative ions, is weakly alkaline, has a high dissolved oxygen content and high permeability, Both the redox potential and the conductivity are lowered.

  Next, a water purifier according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an external view of the water purifier of the present embodiment, and FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the water purifier 10 includes a water dropping unit. This water drop part is comprised from the some pipe 12 extended in the perpendicular direction (gravity action direction). This pipe 12 has a double structure comprising an inner cylinder 12-1 and an outer cylinder 12-2, and water pumped up by a pumping pipe 18 is supplied to these pipes 12 at the upper end of the inner cylinder 12-1. A water supply pipe 14 is connected for this purpose. The water supplied from the water supply pipe 14 to the pipe 12 enters the 360 ° diffusion nozzle 13 from the end of the water supply pipe 14 and is sprayed into the inner cylinder 12-1 of the pipe 12, and then the inner cylinder 12-1. Free fall inside.

A storage tank 16 is connected to the lower end of each pipe 12. The water that freely falls inside the pipe 12 is temporarily stored in the storage tank 16. A pumping pipe 18 extending in the vertical direction is also connected to the storage tank 16, and water stored in the storage tank 16 is pumped up by the pumping pipe 18. The pumping pipe 18 is connected to the water supply pipe 14, and the water pumped up by the pumping pipe 18 is dispersed inside the inner cylinder 12-1 of each pipe 12 through the water supply pipe 14, and this water purifier It circulates in 10.
A circulation pump 15 is used as a power source for pumping up water from the storage tank 16 through a pumping pipe 18. The storage tank 16 is provided with a water inlet 19 that initially supplies water (for example, tap water) and replenishes it during operation.

  The water purifier 10 is also provided with an ultraviolet irradiation device 21 and a magnetic field application device 20. The ultraviolet irradiation device 21 and the magnetic field application device 20 are attached to the pumping pipe 18, and can irradiate water circulating in the pumping pipe 18 with ultraviolet rays to apply a magnetic field. The intensity of the magnetic field is a value around 5000 G (Gauss), and the wavelength of ultraviolet rays is around 260 nm, which is considered to have the strongest bactericidal power.

  The water purifier 10 further includes an ionization unit. The ionization section includes an air inlet 26 and an outlet 27, and a connection pipe 22 that communicates between the outer cylinders 12-2 of the pipes 12, and is provided in the vicinity of the air inlet 26 and is freely provided inside the connection pipe 22. A negative potential electron emission electrode 24 that emits electrons and a positive potential induction electrode 25 provided near the exhaust port 27 and a position facing the electron emission electrode 24. Free electrons are emitted from the electron emission electrode 24 into the connection pipe 22 so that the electric field inside the connection pipe 22 can be strengthened.

  As described above, in the water purifier 10, the pipe 12, the storage tank 16, the pumping pipe 18, and the connection pipe 22 are connected to each other, and water circulates inside the circulation path.

  Next, the effect | action of the water purifier 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated in detail.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, water is sprayed from the water supply pipe 14 to the inner cylinder 12-1 of the pipe 12. The water sprayed on the inner cylinder 12-1 of the pipe 12 freely falls inside the pipe 12. At this time, negatively charged air is supplied from the vicinity of the air inlet 26 of the connection pipe 22 to the outer cylinder 12-2 of the pipe 12. The water that freely falls in the inner cylinder 12-1 of the pipe 12 is temporarily stored in the storage tank 16, and is pumped upward from the inside of the storage tank 16 by the pumping pipe 18. The water pumped upward from the inside of the storage tank 16 by the pumping pipe 18 is supplied again into the pipe 12 through the water supply pipe 14.

  The water supplied from the pumping pipe 18 into the pipe 12 falls freely inside the pipe 12 and is temporarily stored in the storage tank 16 again, and is pumped up from the storage tank 16 by the pumping pipe 18. Again, it is supplied to the inside of the pipe 12. Thus, the water supplied to the inside of the pipe 12 is repeatedly dropped freely inside the pipe 12 and the collision of water molecules is repeated. At this time, since negatively charged air supplied from the connection pipe 22 is also circulated together, high-concentration negative ions are generated, and water having high permeability and a large amount of dissolved oxygen can be obtained.

As shown in FIG. 2, a magnetic field application device 20 is attached to the pumping pipe 18, and a magnetic field is generated inside the pumping pipe 18 by the magnetic field application device 20. Therefore, in the air passing through this magnetic field, Free electrons in the outermost electron nucleus of the oxygen molecule are polarized by the action of attractive force and repulsive force due to the magnetic field, and an induced voltage is generated. At the same time, charged particles are easily collected in a strong magnetic field. As a result of the crowding of positive or negative charged particles, the charged particles collide violently and begin molecular vibrations.
As a result, there are molecules in which free electrons of the outermost electron nucleus are emitted due to repeated collisions between molecules having kinetic energy, and molecules that return to their original state due to the electric attraction of the atomic nucleus. The emitted electrons are combined with molecules such as water and air to become negative ions. In addition, molecules whose electrons have returned to their original state generate infrared rays, microwaves, and the like with their kinetic energy. This microwave absorbs electron spin resonance and stabilizes it in a fine cluster state. As a result, the permeability of water passing through the inside of the pumping pipe 18 becomes high, and the residual chlorine becomes hydroxide ions and chloride ions due to the ion polarization action, and the conductivity of the water decreases.

  The pumping pipe 18 is also provided with an ultraviolet irradiation device 21, and the water in the pumping pipe 18 is irradiated with ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet rays have a function of ionizing gas and liquid, and also have a sterilizing function. For this reason, the inside of the pumping pipe 18 and the flowing water are sterilized by ultraviolet irradiation, and ionization of the pumped water is promoted. Thereby, the sodium ion and calcium ion in water increase, the density | concentration of hydroxide ion becomes high, and water becomes weakly alkaline.

  On the other hand, the connection pipe 22 is connected to the outer cylinder 12-2 part of the pipe 12, and external air is taken in from the air inlet 26. An electron emission electrode 24 is provided in the vicinity of the air suction port of the connection pipe 22, and free electrons (excess electrons) are discharged into the air taken in from the electron emission electrode 24, and the inside of the connection pipe 22. The electric field is strengthened. The air inside the connection pipe 22 is directed to the next pipe 12 communicating with water freely falling through the inner cylinder 12-1 of the pipe 12 and the water accumulated in the lower part of the pipe 12. It is discharged from the exhaust port 27 through the space. When the electric field inside the connection pipe 22 is strengthened, positive ions or negative ions are generated by the so-called Leonard effect and free electron emission effect. The positive ions or negative ions repeatedly collide with air molecules or water molecules to cause collision ionization. As a result, a large amount of negative ions is generated in the air passing through the connection pipe 22. Therefore, the air discharged from the exhaust port 27 can be used for the purpose of air purification. In addition, the ionization of the water that contacts the ionized air is also promoted.

  As described above, in the inside of the water purifier 10, the water supplied into the pipe 12 by the water supply pipe 14 falls freely inside the pipe 12 and touches the ionized air inside the connection pipe 22. Assuming one cycle from passing through the magnetic field inside the pumping pipe 18 to being irradiated with ultraviolet rays, a plurality of cycles are continuously performed.

  According to the water purifier 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to obtain purified water that has high-concentration negative ions, is weakly alkaline, and has a high dissolved oxygen content and high permeability. Moreover, the purified water with a low oxidation-reduction potential can be obtained. Furthermore, residual chlorine is removed and purified water with low electrical conductivity can be obtained.

  Next, the usage example of the purified water obtained with the water purification apparatus 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated.

  The purified water obtained by the water purification apparatus 10 of the present embodiment includes drinking water (alkaline ionized water), hydroponics, aquaculture (prescription for optimal growth environment), cosmetics (water-use), and dyeing (permeability). Is high and penetrates into the fiber), food processing (tofu, noodles, other water-based items), bathing / pool (to improve water quality), air purification (residential, hospital, etc.), egg farm (chicken It can be widely used for drinking water, purification of poultry houses, horticulture (watering, purification in greenhouses), and cleaning products (ion cleaning).

Here, the antiseptic action of the purified water obtained by the water purification apparatus 10 will be described.
There are various causes of corrosion, such as corrosion due to dissolved oxygen in water, chlorine, bonding of dissimilar metals, bacteria, low pH, rapid change in water temperature, carbon dioxide (well water, etc.), sulfate ion concentration, hydrogen ion, etc. All of these cause corrosion by causing an electrochemical reaction. On the other hand, the purified water obtained by the water purification apparatus 10 promotes crystallization of calcium, magnesium, silicon, etc. dissolved in the water, and these are refined to form a thin film and deposit on the unevenness of the metal surface. An anticorrosion film is formed. Corrosion can be prevented by this anticorrosion film. Moreover, when the tap water supplied to the pipe 12 shifts to the reduction potential, it acts as an anticorrosion function by the reduction reaction.

Here, the removal effect | action when removing the scale already adhering to the trap of the purified water obtained with the water purifier 10 and the adhesion prevention effect of a scale are demonstrated.
The purified water obtained by the water purifier 10 contains excess electrons and is in an ionic polarization state in the treatment process by the water purifier 10. At this time, collision of positive and negative ions and concentration occur simultaneously. This is because the ionic crystallization is promoted because the ions dissolved in the water are changed to a state where they are easily combined. Normally, it is generated as a scale on the wall of the trap, but in purified water, fine particles such as sludge are crystallized in water, and these are discharged to the outside together with the water flow.
Moreover, since the ion in purified water is after ion collision and crystallization, it will be in a dilute state. Since water in which ions are diluted is highly soluble, mixed crystals such as scale and rust attached to the inner surface of the trap dissolve and flow out to the outside together with drainage.
By the above operation, the purified water can remove the scale that has already adhered to the trap, or can prevent the scale from adhering.

  Next, the test example using the water purifier 10 of this invention is demonstrated.
