The high-voltage application water is usually formed by applying a high voltage to the water in the container. However, in the conventional container, there is a risk of electric leakage outside the container, which is dangerous. In addition, an impact may occur when a high voltage is applied, and the container may be damaged. An object of the present invention is to solve these problems found in conventional containers and to provide an apparatus for producing high-voltage applied water that is excellent in safety and durability. It is another object of the present invention to provide a manufacturing apparatus for efficiently applying a high voltage to obtain desired high voltage applied water.

As means for solving such a problem, a high-voltage applied water manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention includes a housing part constituted by an insulating outer peripheral part, and at least a pair of cathode parts provided in the housing part. An electrode having an anode part is provided, and a high voltage is applied to the water filled so as not to generate a gap in the sealed accommodating part through the cathode part and the anode part. Thus, flashback (air discharge) is prevented from occurring.

Further, the electrode composed of a pair of cathode part and anode part provided in the housing part has a cathode part as a metal discharge plate disposed substantially in the center of the housing part, and the anode part faces the discharge plate and It was set as the metal current collection board arrange | positioned by the outer peripheral part of the accommodating part. In addition, the cathode part was a metal discharge plate disposed almost in the center of the housing part, and the anode part was a metal current collector plate disposed on the entire inner surface of the outer peripheral part. Further, the cathode portion was a metal discharge plate disposed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral portion, and the anode portion was a metal current collector plate disposed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral portion facing the discharge plate.

According to the high voltage applied water manufacturing apparatus configured in this manner, the insulating structure prevents dangerous leakage outside the housing portion when a high voltage is applied, and safety is improved. In addition, the shock absorbing structure and the like reduce the impact (including the impact caused by flashback) when a high voltage is applied. This prevents damage to the housing and the like, and improves safety and durability. Moreover, the loss of high voltage energy can be prevented by reliably preventing the occurrence of flashback, and high voltage applied water can be produced efficiently. In particular, even when a high voltage of at least 300,000 V or more is applied, the occurrence of flashback is prevented, and the production of high voltage applied water using a high voltage is possible.

The best mode of the apparatus for producing high-voltage applied water according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The manufacturing apparatus A includes a housing portion 1 having an outer peripheral portion. The accommodating portion 1 includes at least a hollow portion 20 and an outer peripheral portion 2. In the case of illustration, the accommodating part 1 is the box shape formed from the side part 3 of the front and rear, right and left, the bottom face part 5, and the upper surface part 6, and water is accommodated in the accommodating part 1, ie, the hollow part 20. FIG. The upper surface portion 6 is configured in a lid shape that covers the upper opening of the container formed from the front and rear side surfaces 3 and the bottom surface portion 5. The lower surface of the protruding edge portion 9 extending in the horizontal direction comes into contact with the upper end surface 7 of the container, and the lid-shaped upper surface portion 6 is attached to the container so as to be detachable or openable. The lid-like upper surface portion 6 is attached to the container in a close contact state (see FIGS. 1, 3, and 5), and the hollow portion 20 of the housing portion to which the upper surface portion 6 is attached is blocked from outside air. The structure of the accommodating part 1 including the upper surface part 6 is arbitrary, for example, the upper surface part may be formed integrally with the container (not shown). In any case, the accommodating portion 1 having the hollow portion 20 is configured to be hermetically sealed by the outer peripheral portion 2.

The accommodating part 1 is provided with insulation, and is configured so that a high voltage applied to the water in the accommodating part 1 (that is, the hollow part 20) does not leak outside the accommodating part 1. That is, the outer peripheral part 2 forming the housing part 1 has insulation, but as long as it has insulation, the specific structure of the outer peripheral part is arbitrary. As the insulating material, for example, synthetic resin acrylic, polypropylene, or the like is used. The outer peripheral portion is composed of a plurality of layer portions. For example, as FIG. 7 shows, the outer peripheral part 2 is comprised from the 2 layer part provided with insulation. One of the two layers is a hard layer 10 made of hard synthetic resin or the like, and the other is a soft layer 11 made of soft synthetic resin or the like. Moreover, the outer peripheral part 2 shown by FIG. 8 is comprised from the 3 layer part provided with insulation. The three layers are an intermediate soft layer 12 made of an elastic material such as rubber and soft synthetic resin, and a hard layer 13 made of hard synthetic resin or the like provided on both sides thereof. The soft layer and the hard layer are integrated with each other by fixing or the like. The hard layer imparts strength and rigidity to the outer peripheral portion 2, while the soft layer imparts a buffer function to the outer peripheral portion 2. The buffer function of the soft layer reduces the impact applied to the housing part 1 when a high voltage is applied. When the outer peripheral portion 2 has a sandwich structure composed of a three-layer structure of the intermediate soft layer 12 and the hard layers 13 on both sides, not only the strength of the outer peripheral portion 2 is further increased, but also a buffer by a soft layer provided in the middle. The function works effectively. As described above, the outer peripheral portion can be a multilayer structure in which another member is added to the whole or a part thereof.

A bottom buffer portion 15 is provided on the bottom surface portion 5 of the housing portion on the lower side. The bottom buffer portion 15 is disposed so as to cover the entire bottom surface portion 5 of the housing portion including the corner portion 16 from below. The bottom buffer portion 15 has insulating properties and appropriate elasticity, and is formed of, for example, a soft synthetic resin that is a flexible material or rubber that is an elastic material. When the container 1 is filled with water, a large load including the weight of water is applied to the bottom surface portion 5, but the bottom buffer portion 15 effectively applies an impact to the bottom surface portion 5 that supports a large load when a high voltage is applied. To reduce.

In the accommodating part 1, a pair of cathode part 17 and anode part 19 which are electrodes are provided. That is, a high voltage is applied directly to the water through the cathode portion 17 and the anode portion 19 with respect to the water filling the accommodating portion 1. The cathode portion 17 and the anode portion 19 are disposed in the housing portion 1 so as to face each other. 1 and 2, the cathode portion is a metal discharge plate 17 disposed substantially at the center in the housing portion 1, and the anode portion is opposed to the discharge plate 17 and both inner side surfaces of the outer peripheral portion 2. It is the metal current collection plate 19 provided in the. FIGS. 3 and 4 show that the discharge plate 17 of the cathode part is arranged in the approximate center of the housing part 1, while the current collector plate 19 of the anode part is provided on the entire inner surface of the outer peripheral part 2. 5 and 6, the cathode discharge plate 17 is disposed on the inner surface of the one side surface portion 3, while the anode current collector plate 19 is provided on the inner surface of the other side surface portion 3. . The phrase “provided in the inner side surface” or “arranged in the inner side surface” of the outer peripheral portion 2 is a mode in which the discharge plate 17 or the current collector plate 19 is arranged in contact with the inner side surface of the outer peripheral portion 2. And a mode of being arranged in a state of being very close to the inner side surface of the outer peripheral portion 2 (within an interval of about 1 cm). Moreover, as another structure (modification) of the accommodating part 1 shown by FIG. 1, while arrange | positioning a current collecting plate in the center, you may provide a discharge plate in the inner surface of the outer peripheral part 2 (not shown). Similarly, as another structure (variation example) of the accommodating portion 1 shown in FIG. 3, the current collector plate may be disposed at the center, while the discharge plate may be provided on the entire inner surface of the outer peripheral portion 2 (not shown). . In addition, you may integrate the discharge plate 17 and the current collecting plate 19 with the outer peripheral part 2 (for example, side part 3) (refer FIG. 9). This is an example in which another member is added to the insulating outer peripheral portion 2, and the insulating outer peripheral portion 2, the discharge plate 17, and the current collecting plate 19 are integrated by means such as fixing. In this case, while the insulation is maintained by the outer peripheral portion, the overall strength is further increased by the addition of a metal discharge plate and current collector plate.

Water is accommodated in the accommodating portion 1. The water stored in the storage unit 1 is natural water such as ground water and river water, tap water, industrial water, pure water, and the like, regardless of the type. In order to store water in the storage unit 1, for example, the upper surface part 6 configured in a lid shape is removed from the container and the water is introduced into the storage unit 1 by the water injection pipe 21. After pouring water, the upper surface portion 6 is attached to the container portion, and the housing portion 1 is kept sealed. In order to drain the water in the housing part 1 to the outside of the housing part 1, the top surface part 6 configured in a lid shape is removed and the water is guided to the outside of the housing part 1 by the drain pipe 22. The water injection pipe and the drain pipe may be fixed or detachable at appropriate locations in the housing (not shown), and their specific means are not limited. Moreover, the water 20 in the storage unit 1 is not limited to a stationary state, and may flow constantly or intermittently at an appropriate speed.

The cathode portion 17 and the anode portion 19 are connected to a high voltage generator 25 by lead wires 23, respectively. The high voltage generator 25 is well known, and a high voltage (direct current) generated by the known high voltage generator 25 is applied to the water in the container 1 via the cathode 17 and the anode 19. The The high voltage is applied continuously or intermittently. When the discharge plate 17 is arranged in the approximate center in the housing portion 1 and the current collecting plate 19 is arranged on the side surface portions 3 and 3 (see FIGS. 1 and 2), the distance between the discharge plate 17 and the current collecting plates 19 on both sides. Are almost the same. High-voltage energy is efficiently applied to the water in the accommodating portion 1 through the discharge plate 17 at the intermediate position and the current collecting plates 19 on both sides thereof. In addition, although the current collection plates 19 and 19 are arrange | positioned in the left-right direction of the upright discharge plate 17 in the accommodating part 1 of FIG. 1, you may arrange | position a current collection plate in the up-down direction of a horizontal discharge plate. (Not shown).

In the case where the discharge plate 17 is disposed substantially at the center of the housing portion 1 and the current collector plate 19 is provided on all inner surfaces of the outer peripheral portion 2 (see FIGS. 3 and 4), the current collector plate is disposed around the discharge plate 17 at the center position. 19 is arranged. High-voltage energy is efficiently applied to the water in the housing portion 1 through the discharge plate 17 and the current collector plate 19. When the discharge plate 17 is disposed on the inner surface of the one side surface portion 3 and the current collector plate 19 is provided on the inner surface of the other side surface portion 3 (see FIGS. 5 and 6), the discharge plate 17 and the current collector plate 19 The interval is maximized. High-voltage energy is efficiently applied to the water in the housing portion 1 through the discharge plate 17 and the current collector plate 19. Reference numeral 26 denotes a ground. In any case, a high voltage generated by a known high voltage generator 25 is applied to the water 20 in the storage unit 1 via the cathode 17 and the anode 19.

Water is filled in a sealed housing 1 that is blocked from outside air. That is, the entire hollow portion 20 of the accommodating portion 1 is filled with water, and no void exists in the accommodating portion 1. There is no gap in which air remains in the container 1 that is full of water, so that flashback (air discharge) does not occur in the container 1 when a high voltage is applied. When a high voltage is applied using a conventional upper open container, there is a drawback that the occurrence of flashback is unavoidable. In particular, when a high voltage of 300,000 V or higher is applied, flashback frequently occurs. According to the high voltage applied water producing apparatus of the present invention, such flashback (air discharge) can be reliably prevented. The applied high voltage may greatly exceed 300,000V. This not only dramatically increases safety, but also reduces the loss of high-voltage energy during application, and allows a higher voltage to be applied more efficiently. The high-voltage applied water to which a high voltage was applied also exhibited effects such as, for example, a significant reduction in redox potential.

The lead wire 23 that penetrates the upper surface portion 6 and the like is connected to the discharge plate 17 and the current collector plate 19. Specifically, the lead wire 23 is inserted into a through hole (not shown) of the upper surface portion 6. For example, a small gap between the through holes is closed with a caulking material (not shown). The container 1 is maintained in a sealed state. There is no limitation on the means for guiding the lead wire into the accommodating portion. The cathode portion and the anode portion are not limited to a plate shape, and a metal wire mesh (not shown) may be used. Examples of the metal forming the electrode include iron, brass, platinum, gold, stainless steel, titanium, and those obtained by plating these metals. Selection of the shape, structure, and material (conductive member) of the electrode is also arbitrary. In addition to the box shape, the accommodating portion may be elliptical or spherical (not shown), and is not particularly limited.

The accommodating part 1 may be mobile. As shown in FIG. 3, the accommodating portion 1 disposed on the carriage 27 is configured to be movable. That is, the carriage 27 includes a base 30 provided with a rolling caster 29, an intermediate part provided with a plurality of insulators 31, and a pedestal part 32, and the accommodating part 1 is placed on the pedestal part 32. The intermediate insulator 31 having an insulating function is extremely effective in preventing leakage at the time of applying a high voltage, and safety is ensured particularly when an ultra-high voltage is applied. The accommodation unit 1 can move the carriage 27 and freely change the arrangement position and the like.
