Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement in a fresh water generator that generates water for daily use as drinking water from raw water using water from a general river or other water sources as raw water.

  When there is a situation where water supply is not possible, or when there is a water source but there is no water supply, water from a general river or water from other water sources is used as raw water, and this is used as water for daily use. As a fresh water generator for generating water, various types have been conventionally used. However, such a fresh water generator is generally used in an emergency, and often requires transportation from a storage location to the site where it is used. It is hoped that it can be done. However, such a fresh water generator requires a raw water filtration unit, a water supply pump that feeds raw water into the filtration unit, and a storage tank for domestic water produced by filtration by the filtration unit as a minimum component. It is difficult to make it compact easily. A mobile desiccator using a bicycle has also been proposed (see Patent Document 1). Although this desiccant is highly portable, it has a capacity to produce water per unit time as required by local governments in an emergency. The generation capacity of domestic water is difficult to expect, and it does not have a structure for storing the generated domestic water.

A water faucet 3d is provided at the lower part of the water storage tank 3 and serves as a supply part for domestic water W 'stored therein. The water storage tank 3 is composed of a sheet configured not to leak water, typically a sheet made of synthetic resin, and the bottom surface 3a is in contact with the mounting surface of the first pallet 50. It can be folded from the usage state in which it is spread and mounted on the pallet 50. Such a water tank 3 is typically held in a used state by a support (not shown).

  In this embodiment, the folded water storage tank 3 can be stored in the storage part 51b formed in the first pallet 50 or the second pallet 51, in the illustrated example, in the first pallet 50. It is like that. That is, in the illustrated example, the water storage tank 3 folded within the interval between the top plate 52 and the bottom plate 53 constituting the first pallet 50 can be stored.

  Thereby, when it is not necessary to use this water freshener, it is possible to keep the water storage tank 3 folded in the pallet body 5 in a convenient size for storage. Also, transport to the installation location is easy. Moreover, since the structural members other than the water tank 3 are mounted on the second pallet 51 and the water tank 3 is mounted on the first pallet 50, the deployed and installed state is stable.

  In particular, in this embodiment, by rotating the first pallet 50 to the upright position, when it is not necessary to use the fresh water generator, the horizontal size of the second pallet 51 is set. It is possible to reduce the width of the surface, and to make the aspect more convenient for the storage. Moreover, this aspect can be stably maintained by the posture holding means 8.

  From the state in which the water storage tank 3 is folded and stored in the first pallet 50 and the first pallet 50 is positioned in the upright position, the bolts of the posture holding means 8 are released and the first pallet 50 is moved to the second pallet. By turning the side 51 downward, it is possible to easily create an available state of the fresh water generator in which the water storage tank 3 is mounted on the first pallet 50.
