The passage 7 is shut off, the check valve 5 is closed, and a substantially vacuum state is maintained.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the flow rate adjusting valve 10 is opened in advance, and the check valve 9 is opened with the pressure of pure oxygen O supplied when the oxygen filling container 12 is connected to the supply path 11. The bubbles of pure oxygen O supplied from the oxygen filling container 12 are ejected or discharged all at once from the spray nozzle 13 of the water storage tank 2 into the water W, and the pure oxygen O ejected from the spray nozzle 13 is discharged. Then, the water W evacuated to a substantially vacuum state is mixed or dissolved in a substantially saturated state to produce oxygen water OW containing pure oxygen O having a desired concentration.

  That is, if the air A remains in the water W, the pure oxygen O hardly mixes or dissolves. If the air A contained in the water W is forcibly extracted and vented to a substantially vacuum state, the pure oxygen O When O is supplied into the water W that has been evacuated to a substantially vacuum state, the pure oxygen O is efficiently and substantially uniformly mixed and dissolved in the water W.

Since it is dissolved and oxygen water OW in a substantially oxygen saturation state containing pure oxygen O at a desired concentration is produced, operations and effects substantially the same as those of the first embodiment can be obtained.

  Further, if pure oxygen O is supplied to or stored in the water W stored in the water storage tank 2, and then stirred with the stirring device 15 provided at the bottom of the water storage tank 2, the pure oxygen O is converted into the entire water W. Therefore, the operation of producing oxygen water OW in which pure oxygen O is dissolved substantially uniformly can be performed in a short time.

  Further, the cooling device 16 provided at the bottom or side of the water storage tank 2 cools or keeps the water W stored in the water storage tank 2 at a temperature at which pure oxygen O is easy to dissolve (for example, a temperature below room temperature). For example, the pure oxygen O is easily dissolved in the water W, and the oxygen water OW containing the pure oxygen O can be easily and easily manufactured. Alternatively, the water W cooled to a temperature at which the pure oxygen O is easily dissolved may be stored in the water storage tank 2.

  5, 6, and 7 show an oxygen water production apparatus 1 according to a second embodiment for producing oxygen water OW containing pure oxygen O having a desired concentration in a portable water storage tank 20. The water W is stored in a desired amount of water (approximately 2 liters) in a water tank 20 supported in an upright state by the support frame 21 and sealed, and then the air A contained in the water tank 20 and the air A contained in the water W are removed. The air device 8 evacuates to a substantially vacuum state. In addition, a water storage tank 20 in which drinking water W is stored in advance may be set on the support frame 21.

  Next, the driving of the deaeration device 8 is stopped, and bubbles of pure oxygen O supplied from the oxygen filling container 12 are ejected from the spray nozzle 13 of the water storage tank 20 into the water W and from the spray nozzle 13. Since the spouted pure oxygen O is mixed or dissolved in the water W that has been evacuated to a substantially vacuum state, the oxygen water OW containing the pure oxygen O having a desired concentration is produced. Actions and effects substantially equivalent to those of the example can be achieved.

  In addition, after the manufacturing operation of the oxygen water OW is completed, the venting path 7 on the venting device 8 side and the supply path 11 on the oxygen filling container 12 side are extracted from the supply port 20d and the venting port 20c of the water storage tank 20, If the water storage tank 20 in which the oxygen water OW is stored is taken out from the support frame 21 and carried, the oxygen water OW containing pure oxygen O can be drunk at the desired time and place during exercise or fatigue, Pure oxygen O can be ingested easily. In addition, the water storage tank 20 in which the oxygen water OW is stored can be stored in a refrigerator or a cold storage.
