Description

この発明は、洗浄・殺菌に広く用いられるオゾン水の生成方法および装置と、前記オゾン水に加えてミネラル水を生成することができるミネラル水生成装置とに関する。   The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for generating ozone water widely used for cleaning and sterilization, and a mineral water generating apparatus capable of generating mineral water in addition to the ozone water.

従来のオゾン水生成装置として、図７に示すように、オゾンと水Ｗとをポンプ５０内で混合してオゾン水Ａを生成するように構成されたものがある。詳しくは、図７において、４８はポンプ５０にオゾンを供給するオゾン供給部であり、上流側から順に、酸素ボンベ５１と、流量計５２と、前記酸素ボンベ５１からの酸素をオゾンへと変換するためのオゾナイザー５３と、電磁弁５４とを備えている。また、４９はポンプ５０に水Ｗを供給する給水部であり、上流側から順に、給水源（図示していない）と、減圧弁５５とを備えている。さらに、前記ポンプ５０の下流側には圧力計５６が設けられており、オゾナイザー５３の近傍にはオゾナイザー５３を冷却するためのファン５７が設けられている。   As a conventional ozone water generating apparatus, there is one configured to generate ozone water A by mixing ozone and water W in a pump 50 as shown in FIG. Specifically, in FIG. 7, reference numeral 48 denotes an ozone supply unit that supplies ozone to the pump 50, and converts oxygen from the oxygen cylinder 51, the flow meter 52, and the oxygen cylinder 51 into ozone in order from the upstream side. For this purpose, an ozonizer 53 and an electromagnetic valve 54 are provided. Reference numeral 49 denotes a water supply unit that supplies water W to the pump 50, and includes a water supply source (not shown) and a pressure reducing valve 55 in order from the upstream side. Further, a pressure gauge 56 is provided on the downstream side of the pump 50, and a fan 57 for cooling the ozonizer 53 is provided in the vicinity of the ozonizer 53.

しかし、上記従来のオゾン水生成装置では、ポンプ５０内におけるオゾンと水Ｗとの混合によってオゾン水が生成されていたが、ポンプ５０により流れるオゾンおよび水の流速が大きすぎ、水に対するオゾンの溶解が不充分であった。そのため、前記水に溶けず生ガスの状態で無駄に流れてしまうオゾンが多くなり、不経済であるだけでなく、有害なオゾンガスが連続的かつ大量に発生することは許容されないという場合もある。また、生成されたオゾン水におけるオゾンの溶存率が低く、前記オゾン水の洗浄力・殺菌力の向上が図れないので、この点からも改良が望まれていた。   However, in the conventional ozone water generation apparatus, ozone water is generated by mixing ozone and water W in the pump 50. However, the flow rate of ozone and water flowing by the pump 50 is too high, and the ozone dissolves in water. Was insufficient. For this reason, the amount of ozone that does not dissolve in the water and flows unnecessarily in the state of raw gas increases, which is not uneconomical, and it may be unacceptable to generate a large amount of harmful ozone gas continuously. In addition, since the ozone dissolution rate in the generated ozone water is low and the cleaning power and sterilizing power of the ozone water cannot be improved, improvement has been desired from this point.

この発明は上述の事柄に留意してなされたもので、その目的は、オゾンの溶存率が極めて高い良好なオゾン水を生成することのできるオゾン水生成方法および装置並びに前記オゾン水を用いて飲料水として優れたミネラル水を生成することのできるミネラル水生成装置を提供することである。   The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-described matters, and an object of the present invention is to provide an ozone water generation method and apparatus capable of generating good ozone water having a very high ozone dissolution rate, and a beverage using the ozone water. It is providing the mineral water production | generation apparatus which can produce | generate the mineral water excellent as water.

上記目的を達成するために、この発明のオゾン水生成方法は、オゾンおよび水を混合し、オゾンを水に溶解させてオゾン水を生成するオゾン水生成方法であって、オゾンと水とを混合してなるオゾン含有水を旋回状態にし、表面に凹凸を有する球状体に向けて流すことを特徴としている（請求項１）。   In order to achieve the above object, an ozone water generation method of the present invention is an ozone water generation method in which ozone and water are mixed and ozone is dissolved in water to generate ozone water, wherein ozone and water are mixed. The ozone-containing water thus formed is swirled and flows toward a spherical body having irregularities on the surface (Claim 1).

また、上記目的を達成するために、この発明のオゾン水生成装置は、酸素発生器と、この酸素発生器からの酸素を用いてオゾンを発生させるオゾナイザーとが設けられ、前記オゾナイザーからのオゾンと水とを混合してなるオゾン含有水を旋回状態にし、表面に凹凸を有する球状体に向けて流すことにより、オゾンが水に溶解してなるオゾン水を生成するように構成されている（請求項２）。   In order to achieve the above object, an ozone water generator of the present invention is provided with an oxygen generator and an ozonizer that generates ozone using oxygen from the oxygen generator, and the ozone from the ozonizer It is configured to generate ozone water in which ozone is dissolved in water by turning ozone-containing water mixed with water into a swirl state and flowing it toward a spherical body having irregularities on the surface (claim) Item 2).

さらに、上記目的を達成するために、この発明のミネラル水生成装置は、請求項２に記載のオゾン水生成装置を備え、生成した前記オゾン水を取り出すオゾン水供給ラインと、前記オゾン水からオゾンを除去するとともにミネラルを添加してミネラル水を生成するミネラル水生成ラインとを設けてあることを特徴としている（請求項３）。   Furthermore, in order to achieve the said objective, the mineral water production | generation apparatus of this invention is equipped with the ozone water production | generation apparatus of Claim 2, and the ozone water supply line which takes out the produced | generated ozone water, and ozone from the said ozone water And a mineral water generation line for generating mineral water by adding minerals (claim 3).

また、前記ミネラル水生成ラインにおいてオゾン水が活性炭、珊瑚およびセラミックスをこの順に通過するように構成されていてもよい（請求項４）。   Moreover, in the said mineral water production | generation line, you may be comprised so that ozone water may pass activated carbon, soot, and ceramics in this order (Claim 4).

請求項１および２に係る発明では、オゾンが水にほぼ１００％溶存した状態のオゾン水を生成することのできるオゾン水生成方法および装置が得られる。   In the invention which concerns on Claim 1 and 2, the ozone water production | generation method and apparatus which can produce | generate the ozone water of the state which ozone dissolved 100% in water are obtained.

また、請求項３に係る発明では、ミネラル水生成ラインにおいてオゾンにより殺菌・消毒された水にミネラルを添加することによって、良質なミネラル水を生成することのできるミネラル水生成装置が得られる。すなわち、通常の一般水道からの水道水には塩素等の薬剤が含まれており、この水をそのまま用いてミネラル水を生成すると、塩素等の除去が不十分となるおそれがある。しかし、オゾン水生成装置によって前記水道水にオゾンを溶解させることにより、オゾンの働きにより水道水中の塩素等の薬剤を除去して無菌水を生成することができる。そして、請求項３に係る発明では、オゾン水生成装置によって生成した前記無菌水を用いることができるので、非常に良質なミネラル水を生成することのできるミネラル水生成装置が得られる。   Moreover, in the invention which concerns on Claim 3, the mineral water production | generation apparatus which can produce | generate quality mineral water is obtained by adding a mineral to the water sterilized and disinfected by ozone in the mineral water production line. That is, chemicals such as chlorine are contained in tap water from ordinary general water. If mineral water is generated using this water as it is, removal of chlorine or the like may be insufficient. However, by dissolving ozone in the tap water using an ozone water generator, chemicals such as chlorine in tap water can be removed by the action of ozone to generate sterile water. And in the invention which concerns on Claim 3, since the said aseptic water produced | generated by the ozone water production | generation apparatus can be used, the mineral water production | generation apparatus which can produce | generate a very good quality mineral water is obtained.

さらに、請求項４に係る発明では、オゾンや不純物などの有害な物質が確実に除去され、かつ、適量のミネラルを含む口当たりのまろやかなミネラル水を生成することのできるミネラル水生成装置が得られる。また、ミネラル水はセラミックスを通ってまろやかになるが、セラミックスに通すミネラル水をオゾンにより殺菌された無菌水としてあるので、これにより、セラミックスはより良好に働き、非常にまろやかなミネラル水が得られることになる。   Furthermore, in the invention which concerns on Claim 4, harmful | toxic substances, such as ozone and an impurity, are removed reliably, and the mineral water production | generation apparatus which can produce | generate the mellow mineral water containing the appropriate amount of mineral is obtained. . Also, the mineral water is mellow through the ceramics, but since the mineral water passed through the ceramics is aseptic water sterilized by ozone, the ceramics work better, and a very mellow mineral water is obtained. It will be.

図１〜図６は、この発明の一実施例を示す。図１は、この発明の一実施例に係るオゾン水生成装置を備えたミネラル水生成装置の構成を概略的に示す説明図である。この図において、１は酸素発生器であり、この酸素発生器１により発生した酸素は、流量計（例えばマスフローメータ）２、流量調整弁（例えば電磁弁）３をこの順に経てオゾナイザー（オゾン発生器）４へと送られる。詳しくは、前記酸素発生器１から供給される酸素の流量は流量計２によって検出され、この検出値に基づいて流量調整弁３の開度が調整され、所定流量の酸素がオゾナイザー４に向けて流れるように構成されている。   1 to 6 show an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing the configuration of a mineral water generator provided with an ozone water generator according to one embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an oxygen generator. Oxygen generated by the oxygen generator 1 passes through a flow meter (for example, a mass flow meter) 2 and a flow rate adjustment valve (for example, an electromagnetic valve) 3 in this order, and an ozonizer (ozone generator). ) Is sent to 4. Specifically, the flow rate of oxygen supplied from the oxygen generator 1 is detected by the flow meter 2, and the opening degree of the flow rate adjustment valve 3 is adjusted based on the detected value, and a predetermined flow rate of oxygen is directed toward the ozonizer 4. It is configured to flow.

前記オゾナイザー４は、酸素発生器１から供給された酸素中に放電することによりオゾンを発生させる。５は、放電時に高電圧の電流が流れるために熱をもつオゾナイザー４を冷却するためのファンである。   The ozonizer 4 generates ozone by discharging into oxygen supplied from the oxygen generator 1. Reference numeral 5 denotes a fan for cooling the ozonizer 4 having heat because a high voltage current flows during discharge.

そして、オゾナイザー４により発生したオゾンは、流量調整弁（例えば電磁弁）６、逆止弁（チャッキ弁）７をこの順に経た後、図示していない給水源からの水（例えば水道水）と混合されてオゾン含有水となり、このオゾン含有水はトルネードミキシング装置よりなるオゾン水生成部８（詳細は後述する）内へと供給される。   The ozone generated by the ozonizer 4 passes through a flow rate adjustment valve (for example, a solenoid valve) 6 and a check valve (check valve) 7 in this order, and then mixed with water (for example, tap water) from a water supply source (not shown). This becomes ozone-containing water, and this ozone-containing water is supplied into an ozone water generator 8 (details will be described later) made of a tornado mixing device.

続いて、オゾン水生成部８内においてオゾン含有水中のオゾンが水に溶解することによりオゾン水が生成され、このようにして生成されたオゾン水はオゾン水生成部８の下流側にある三方切換弁（例えば三方ボールバルブ）９へと送られる。そして、前記三方切換弁９には、オゾン水生成部８にて生成したオゾン水を外部に取り出すためのオゾン水供給ラインＡと、前記オゾン水生成部８にて生成したオゾン水を活性炭珊瑚フィルタ１０（詳細は後述する）とセラミックススクラバ１１（詳細は後述する）とにこの順に通過させ、前記オゾン水からオゾンを除去するとともにミネラルを適量添加してミネラル水を生成するミネラル水生成ラインＢとが接続されている。すなわち、三方切換弁９の切換操作に伴い、オゾン水生成部８にて生成されたオゾン水がオゾン水供給ラインＡに送られる状態とミネラル水生成ラインＢに送られる状態とに切り換わる。また、ミネラル水生成ラインＢの下流側からはミネラル水生成ラインＢにて生成されたミネラル水が取り出される。   Subsequently, ozone water is generated by dissolving ozone in the ozone-containing water in the ozone water generating unit 8, and the generated ozone water is switched to the three-way switching downstream of the ozone water generating unit 8. It is sent to a valve (for example, a three-way ball valve) 9. The three-way switching valve 9 includes an ozone water supply line A for taking out the ozone water generated by the ozone water generator 8 and the ozone water generated by the ozone water generator 8 from the activated carbon soot filter. 10 (details will be described later) and ceramic scrubber 11 (details will be described later) in this order to remove ozone from the ozone water and add an appropriate amount of minerals to generate mineral water, Is connected. That is, with the switching operation of the three-way switching valve 9, the state is switched between the state in which the ozone water generated in the ozone water generation unit 8 is sent to the ozone water supply line A and the state in which it is sent to the mineral water generation line B. Further, from the downstream side of the mineral water generation line B, mineral water generated in the mineral water generation line B is taken out.

詳しくは、第１部材１４は、図５に示すように、ほぼ筒状（この実施例では円筒状）の側壁部１６と、この側壁部１６の一端（下端）を閉塞する閉塞部１７と、この閉塞部１７とほぼ平行に設けられ側壁部１６内をその一端（下端）側と他端（上端）側とに隔離する隔壁部１８と、この隔壁部１８のほぼ中央に設けられた貫通孔１９と、隔壁部１８における貫通孔１９の周縁部から側壁部１６の他端側（上端側）に向けて連設されたほぼ筒状（この実施例では円筒状）のガイド部２０とを備えている。   Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the first member 14 includes a substantially cylindrical (cylindrical in this embodiment) side wall portion 16, a closing portion 17 that closes one end (lower end) of the side wall portion 16, and A partition wall 18 provided substantially parallel to the closed portion 17 and separating the inside of the side wall 16 into one end (lower end) side and the other end (upper end) side thereof, and a through hole provided substantially in the center of the partition wall portion 18 19 and a substantially cylindrical (cylindrical in this embodiment) guide portion 20 provided continuously from the peripheral edge portion of the through hole 19 in the partition wall portion 18 toward the other end side (upper end side) of the side wall portion 16. ing.

また、図４（Ｂ）および（Ｃ）に示すように、側壁部１６の一端部（下端部）付近、詳しくは、側壁部１６における閉塞部１７と隔壁部１８との間の位置に、上流側からのオゾン含有水をケース１２内に導入するための導入部２１が連設されている。   Further, as shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C, the upstream side is located near one end (lower end) of the side wall portion 16, specifically, at a position between the blocking portion 17 and the partition wall portion 18 in the side wall portion 16. An introduction part 21 for introducing ozone-containing water from the side into the case 12 is continuously provided.

第２部材１５は、図５に示すように、第１部材１４の側壁部１６とガイド部２０との間に挿入されるほぼ筒状（この実施例では円筒状）の中筒部２２と、この中筒部２２の一端（上端）を閉塞し外径が中筒部２２の外径よりも大きいほぼ円形状の閉塞部２３と、この閉塞部２３の周縁に連設され、下端の横断面形状が第１部材１４の側壁部１６の上端の横断面形状と同一であるほぼ筒状（この実施例では円筒状）の側壁部２４とを備えている。   As shown in FIG. 5, the second member 15 has a substantially cylindrical (cylindrical in this embodiment) middle cylinder portion 22 inserted between the side wall portion 16 of the first member 14 and the guide portion 20, One end (upper end) of the middle cylinder part 22 is closed, and the outer diameter of the middle cylinder part 22 is larger than the outer diameter of the middle cylinder part 22. A substantially cylindrical (cylindrical in this embodiment) side wall 24 having the same shape as the cross-sectional shape of the upper end of the side wall 16 of the first member 14 is provided.

また、図４（Ａ）、（Ｂ）および図５に示すように、側壁部２４に、この側壁部２４と中筒部２２との間に流入してきたオゾン水をケース１２の下流側へと導出するための導出部２５が連設されている。   Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 (A), 4 (B) and 5, the ozone water that has flowed between the side wall 24 and the middle cylinder 22 into the side wall 24 is moved downstream of the case 12. A deriving unit 25 for deriving is provided continuously.

そして、第１部材１４と第２部材１５とを連結してなるケース１２は、図４（Ｂ）に示すように、第２部材１５の中筒部２２の下端と第１部材１４の隔壁部１８の上面との間に隙間が形成されるように構成されており、また、第２部材１５の中筒部２２の内部における第１部材１４のガイド部２０より上方の位置に、中筒部２２内をその一端（上端）側と他端（下端）側とに隔離する隔離壁２６が設けられている。   The case 12 formed by connecting the first member 14 and the second member 15 includes a lower end of the middle cylindrical portion 22 of the second member 15 and a partition wall portion of the first member 14 as shown in FIG. A space is formed between the upper surface of 18 and the middle cylinder portion at a position above the guide portion 20 of the first member 14 inside the middle cylinder portion 22 of the second member 15. An isolation wall 26 that isolates the interior of the interior 22 from one end (upper end) side to the other end (lower end) side is provided.

球状体１３は、例えば、強化特殊プラスチックからなり、第１部材１４のガイド部２０の外径より大きく第２部材１５の中筒部２２の内径よりも小さい直径を有するとともに、表面に凹凸を有している。そして、この球状体１３は、図２および図３に示すように、ケース１２の第２部材１５の中筒部２２内における第１部材１４のガイド部２０の上端と第２部材１５の隔離壁２６との間の空間に収容される。   The spherical body 13 is made of, for example, reinforced special plastic, has a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the guide portion 20 of the first member 14 and smaller than the inner diameter of the middle cylindrical portion 22 of the second member 15, and has an uneven surface. doing. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the spherical body 13 includes the upper end of the guide portion 20 of the first member 14 and the isolation wall of the second member 15 in the middle cylindrical portion 22 of the second member 15 of the case 12. 26.

上記の構成からなるオゾン水生成部８では、図２および図３に示すように、上流側からの前記オゾン含有水が、まず、導入部２１を経て、第１部材１４の側壁部１６と閉塞部１７と隔離壁１８とで囲まれた上流空間２７内に流入する。このとき、前記導入部２１からのオゾン含有水は側壁部１６の内周面に沿うように上流空間２７内に導入され、これにより、オゾン含有水が上流空間２７内で旋回（渦）状態となるように構成されている。   In the ozone water generation unit 8 having the above-described configuration, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the ozone-containing water from the upstream side first passes through the introduction unit 21 and closes with the side wall 16 of the first member 14. It flows into the upstream space 27 surrounded by the portion 17 and the isolation wall 18. At this time, the ozone-containing water from the introduction part 21 is introduced into the upstream space 27 along the inner peripheral surface of the side wall part 16, whereby the ozone-containing water is swirled (vortexed) in the upstream space 27. It is comprised so that it may become.

上述のように導入部２１から上流空間２７内に導入され旋回状態となったオゾン含有水は、その後、ガイド部２０内に流入する。このとき、ガイド部２０の内径は上流空間２７を構成する側壁部１６の内径よりも小さいので、ガイド部２０内に流入したオゾン含有水の旋回速度は上昇する。また、オゾン含有水は、上流空間２７およびガイド部２０内を通過する間、旋回状態となっているので、加わる遠心力によって加圧されたオゾン含有水中のオゾンが水にいくらか溶解することになる。   As described above, the ozone-containing water introduced into the upstream space 27 from the introduction part 21 and turned into a swirl state flows into the guide part 20. At this time, since the inner diameter of the guide part 20 is smaller than the inner diameter of the side wall part 16 constituting the upstream space 27, the swirling speed of the ozone-containing water flowing into the guide part 20 increases. Further, since the ozone-containing water is in a swirl state while passing through the upstream space 27 and the guide part 20, the ozone in the ozone-containing water pressurized by the applied centrifugal force is somewhat dissolved in the water. .

続いて、ガイド部２０内を通過し、ガイド部２０の上端から流出したオゾン含有水は、球状体１３に向けて流れ、やがて球状体１３に衝突する。このとき、オゾン含有水の水圧が瞬間的に高まり、これによってオゾン含有水中のオゾンが水に溶解する。同時に、球状体１３の周囲に気泡が発生し、発生した気泡によって前記溶解がより促進される。すなわち、球状体１３との衝突時にオゾンのほとんどが水に溶解し、オゾン水が形成される。   Subsequently, the ozone-containing water that has passed through the guide portion 20 and has flowed out from the upper end of the guide portion 20 flows toward the spherical body 13 and eventually collides with the spherical body 13. At this time, the water pressure of the ozone-containing water instantaneously increases, so that the ozone in the ozone-containing water is dissolved in the water. At the same time, bubbles are generated around the spherical body 13, and the dissolution is further promoted by the generated bubbles. That is, most of the ozone is dissolved in water at the time of collision with the spherical body 13, and ozone water is formed.

従って、中筒部２２は、球状体１３を中筒部２２内におけるガイド部２０の上方の位置に確実に保持し、かつ、ガイド部２０内を通ったオゾン含有水を球状体１３と確実に衝突させるように構成されている必要がある。   Therefore, the middle cylinder part 22 securely holds the spherical body 13 at a position above the guide part 20 in the middle cylinder part 22 and reliably supplies the ozone-containing water that has passed through the guide part 20 with the spherical body 13. Must be configured to collide.

上述のように球状体１３に衝突して形成された前記オゾン水は、ガイド部２０と中筒部２２との間に形成された環状の流路を通って中筒部２２の他端（下端）側へと向けて流れ、中筒部２２の下端と隔離壁１８の上面との間に形成された隙間を通過する。さらにその後、オゾン水は中筒部２２と側壁部２４との間に形成された環状の流路を通って閉塞部２３側（上側）に向けて流れ、側壁部２４に設けられた導出部２５からオゾン水生成部８の下流側へと導出される。上記のようにオゾン含有水およびオゾン水をジグザクに流す構成により、オゾン水生成部８内を通過する際のオゾン含有水およびオゾン水の移動時間および移動距離をかせぐことができ、水に対するオゾンの溶解がより促進されることになる。   The ozone water formed by colliding with the spherical body 13 as described above passes through the annular flow path formed between the guide portion 20 and the middle cylinder portion 22, and the other end (lower end) of the middle cylinder portion 22. ) And passes through a gap formed between the lower end of the middle tube portion 22 and the upper surface of the isolation wall 18. Thereafter, the ozone water flows through the annular channel formed between the middle cylinder portion 22 and the side wall portion 24 toward the closing portion 23 side (upper side), and the outlet portion 25 provided on the side wall portion 24. To the downstream side of the ozone water generator 8. By flowing the ozone-containing water and the ozone water in a zigzag manner as described above, the travel time and distance of the ozone-containing water and the ozone water when passing through the ozone water generation unit 8 can be earned. Dissolution will be promoted more.

次に、活性炭珊瑚フィルタ１０について説明する。
前記活性炭珊瑚フィルタ１０は、図６に示すように、ほぼ筒状（この実施例では円筒状）の側壁部２８およびこの側壁部２８の一端（下端）を閉塞する閉塞部２９とを有するフィルタ３０と、このフィルタ３０内に収容される活性炭ブロック３１と、前記フィルタ３０の下流側に配置される珊瑚層３２とをケース３３内に備えている。 Next, the activated carbon soot filter 10 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 6, the activated carbon soot filter 10 has a substantially cylindrical (cylindrical in this embodiment) side wall portion 28 and a filter 30 having a closed portion 29 that closes one end (lower end) of the side wall portion 28. And the activated carbon block 31 accommodated in the filter 30 and the eaves layer 32 disposed on the downstream side of the filter 30 in the case 33.

そして、活性炭珊瑚フィルタ１０内に流れてきたオゾン水は、まず活性炭ブロック３１内を通過する。このとき、オゾン水中のオゾンが活性炭ブロック３１に吸着される。   The ozone water that has flowed into the activated carbon soot filter 10 first passes through the activated carbon block 31. At this time, ozone in the ozone water is adsorbed to the activated carbon block 31.

続いて、オゾンが活性炭ブロック３１に吸着されて除去された状態の水（以下、オゾン除去水）が、活性炭ブロック３１の側方に導出され、フィルタ３０内を通過する。これにより、オゾン除去水中の不純物が取り除かれる。   Subsequently, water in a state where ozone is adsorbed and removed by the activated carbon block 31 (hereinafter, ozone-removed water) is led out to the side of the activated carbon block 31 and passes through the filter 30. Thereby, impurities in the ozone removal water are removed.

その後、オゾン除去水は珊瑚層３２内を通過し、これにより、オゾン除去水にカルシウム、マグネシウム、カリウム、ナトリウム等のミネラルが添加され、高濃度ミネラル水が生成される。このように生成された高濃度ミネラル水は、活性炭珊瑚フィルタ１０の下流側へと送られる。   Thereafter, the ozone-removed water passes through the soot layer 32, whereby minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium are added to the ozone-removed water, and high-concentration mineral water is generated. The high-concentration mineral water generated in this way is sent to the downstream side of the activated carbon soot filter 10.

次に、セラミックススクラバ１１について説明する。
前記セラミックススクラバ１１は、筒状のケース３４内に粒状のセラミックボール３５を多数充填してなる。そして、前記活性炭珊瑚フィルタ１０において生成されたミネラル水をこのセラミックススクラバ１１内の一端側から他端側へと通過させると、セラミックスの働きによってミネラル水がまろやかになるとともに、ミネラル水から塩素等の不純物が除去される。 Next, the ceramic scrubber 11 will be described.
The ceramic scrubber 11 is formed by filling a large number of granular ceramic balls 35 in a cylindrical case 34. And when the mineral water produced | generated in the said activated carbon soot filter 10 is passed from the one end side in this ceramic scrubber 11 to the other end side, while mineral water becomes mellow by the effect | action of ceramics, from mineral water, chlorine etc. Impurities are removed.

上記の構成からなるミネラル水生成装置によって得られたミネラル水は、水質試験を行ったところ、ナトリウムを２２．２［ｍｇ／Ｌ］、カルシウムを１４．２［ｍｇ／Ｌ］、マグネシウムを３．０８［ｍｇ／Ｌ］、カリウムを１．２６［ｍｇ／Ｌ］含有していることがわかった。一方、水の硬度の値は、下記（１）式によって得られる。
Ｃａ値［ｍｇ／Ｌ］×2.497 ＋Ｍｇ値［ｍｇ／Ｌ］×4.118 ＝硬度の値（純硬度）
…（１）
そして、この（１）式に、上記水質試験によって得られたカルシウムの値（１４．２［ｍｇ／Ｌ］）とマグネシウムの値（３．０８［ｍｇ／Ｌ］）を代入することによって求められる上記ミネラル水の硬度は約４８．４［ｍｇ／Ｌ］であり、硬度が６０［ｍｇ／Ｌ］以下の軟水となっているので、この点でも得られるミネラル水が飲料水に適したものであるといえる。 When the mineral water obtained by the mineral water generating apparatus having the above-described configuration was subjected to a water quality test, sodium was 22.2 [mg / L], calcium was 14.2 [mg / L], and magnesium was 3. It was found that it contained 08 [mg / L] and 1.26 [mg / L] potassium. On the other hand, the value of water hardness is obtained by the following equation (1).
Ca value [mg / L] × 2.497 + Mg value [mg / L] × 4.118 = hardness value (pure hardness)
... (1)
And it calculates | requires by substituting the value (14.2 [mg / L]) of calcium obtained by the said water quality test, and the value (3.08 [mg / L]) of magnesium for this (1) type | formula. The mineral water has a hardness of about 48.4 [mg / L] and is a soft water having a hardness of 60 [mg / L] or less, and the mineral water obtained in this respect is also suitable for drinking water. It can be said that there is.

また、上記の構成からなるミネラル水生成装置は、オゾンを生成するための酸素を、従来のように酸素ボンベから供給するのではなく、酸素発生器１を用いて発生させるように構成されているので、製造コストの低減化、コンパクト化および省スペース化を図ることができ、また、取り替え等のメンテナンスにかかる費用や労力についても削減することができる。   Moreover, the mineral water production | generation apparatus which consists of said structure is comprised so that oxygen for producing | generating ozone may be generated using the oxygen generator 1, instead of supplying from an oxygen cylinder conventionally. Therefore, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, the size can be reduced, and the space can be saved, and the cost and labor for maintenance such as replacement can be reduced.

なお、この発明は上記の実施の形態に限られず、種々に変形して実施することができる。すなわち、上記実施の形態では、オゾン水生成部８に供給するオゾンを、放電によって酸素から形成してあるが、このような構成に限られず、例えば、紫外線照射によってオゾンを形成するように構成してあってもよい。   The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented with various modifications. That is, in the above embodiment, the ozone supplied to the ozone water generation unit 8 is formed from oxygen by discharge, but is not limited to such a configuration, for example, it is configured to form ozone by ultraviolet irradiation. May be.

また、上記ミネラル水生成ラインＢを公知のオゾン水生成装置の後段に設けてもよい。   Moreover, you may provide the said mineral water production | generation line B in the back | latter stage of a well-known ozone water production | generation apparatus.

さらに、オゾン水生成部８に供給される水（前記給水源からの水）は水道水に限られず真水などであってもよい。   Furthermore, the water supplied to the ozone water generation unit 8 (water from the water supply source) is not limited to tap water, and may be fresh water or the like.

また、例えば、上記実施の形態において、オゾナイザー４の駆動を停止させておけば、酸素と水との混合体がオゾン水生成部８に供給され、この場合、オゾン水生成部８内において高濃度の酸素が溶存した酸素水を生成することができる。また、流量調整弁３、６を閉状態にし、酸素発生器１およびオゾナイザー４の駆動を停止させておけば、オゾン水生成部８内を給水源からの水のみが通過することになる。そして、上記酸素水をオゾン水供給ラインＡから取り出してもよく、オゾン水生成部８内を経た上記酸素水や給水源からの水をミネラル水生成ラインＢに供給してミネラル水を生成してもよい。   Further, for example, in the above embodiment, if the driving of the ozonizer 4 is stopped, a mixture of oxygen and water is supplied to the ozone water generation unit 8. In this case, a high concentration is generated in the ozone water generation unit 8. It is possible to produce oxygen water in which oxygen is dissolved. Further, if the flow rate adjusting valves 3 and 6 are closed and the driving of the oxygen generator 1 and the ozonizer 4 is stopped, only the water from the water supply source passes through the ozone water generator 8. And the said oxygen water may be taken out from the ozone water supply line A, the water from the said oxygen water and the water supply source which passed through the ozone water production | generation part 8 is supplied to the mineral water production line B, and mineral water is produced | generated. Also good.
