There is no need for electric power, and since silver ions generated by the generated electric power are mixed in water for generating electric power, there is no waste in the configuration.

  In addition, since the silver ion generation unit is located upstream of the hydroelectric power generation unit, water mixed with silver ions is supplied to the hydropower generation unit. As a result, so-called “slimming” and There is an advantage that “mold” is less likely to occur, it is hygienic, and long-term stable operation is possible.

  In the present invention, external power is used as the power for generating silver ions, and the configuration for generating silver ions using the power of the power generation type power source enables stable operation over a long period of time. The point was realized by arranging the silver ion generator upstream and the hydroelectric generator downstream such that water circulates and is electrically connected.

  Further, the present invention provides the above-described configuration, wherein the center of the diameter of the water inlet and outlet in the case of the silver ion generation unit is shifted in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction so that a spiral water flow is provided in the case. By making it the structure which produces | generates, it becomes possible to mix silver ion in water efficiently.

  Hereinafter, specific embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a silver ion generator according to the present invention, which comprises a silver ion generator 2 and a hydroelectric generator 3. For example, the silver ion generation unit 2 is connected to the upstream side W1 of the divided water pipe W, and the hydroelectric generation unit 3 is connected to the downstream side W2. The silver ion generator 2 and the hydroelectric generator 3 are configured to be electrically connected by the wiring pipe E and to send water from the silver ion generator 2 to the hydroelectric generator 3 by the connecting pipe W3. Yes.

  For example, the silver ion generation unit 2 outputs the upstream side W1 to the inflow port 2a formed at a position shifted from the imaginary diameter line of the case 2A to the outer peripheral side on the lower peripheral surface of the case 2A having a bottomed cylindrical shape. The input ends of the connection pipe W3 are respectively connected to the inflow port 2b formed on the upper peripheral surface around the inflow port 2a and the virtual diameter line.

  An opening / closing port 2c is formed at the lower end surface of the case 2A, and the cartridge 2B is detachable from the opening / closing port 2c and is provided in a watertight state. The upper end surface of the case 2A is connected to a reflux pipe W4 through which surplus water in the case 2A is sent to a hydroelectric generator 3 to be described later. A water injection port 2d for injecting water of the case 2A into the hydroelectric generator 3 is provided. Is provided. The wiring from the hydroelectric generator 3 is connected to the connector 2e at the lower end of the case 2A.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the cartridge 2B is provided with a pair of silver plate electrodes 2C and 2C facing each other on the upper surface of a lid 2f that can be attached to and detached from the opening / closing port 2c. The lid 2f is internally wired from the silver plate electrodes 2C, 2C to the connector 2e. The silver plate electrodes 2C and 2C in the cartridge 2B are connected to the electrical output portion of the hydroelectric power generation unit 3 through the connector 2e and the connection unit 2B, and receive power supply.

  The hydroelectric power generation unit 3 is configured as shown in FIGS. Reference numeral 3A denotes a casing, which includes a water flow portion 3Aa, an electromotive portion 3Ab, and a lower lid 3Ac. The water flow portion 3Aa is provided with a connecting pipe W3 closer to one side of the widthwise central portion of the opposite side surface and a downstream side W2 closer to the other side with their axes shifted. A storage chamber 3a is provided in the center of the water flow portion 3Aa, and an impeller 3B described later is provided in the storage chamber 3a.

  The impeller 3B is provided with a rotor 3C that rotates integrally with its shaft. A stator 3D for generating electric power by rotation of the rotor 3C is provided on the outer periphery of the rotor 3C. The rotor 3C and the stator 3D are accommodated in the electromotive portion 3Ab of the casing 3A. A wiring Ea for taking out electric power obtained by the rotation of the rotor 3C (impeller 3B) with respect to the stator 3D is provided at the upper end of the outer surface of the electromotive unit 3Ab, and the wiring Ea is inserted through the wiring pipe E.

  In addition, the water flow portion 3Aa is formed with an inlet 3c for allowing water to flow into the storage chamber 3a and an outlet 3e for allowing water to flow into the discharge chamber 3d described later, on the wall surface to which the connecting pipe W3 is connected. . On the other hand, in the water flow part 3Aa, a discharge port 3f for allowing water to flow out of the storage chamber 3a is formed in the wall surface to which the downstream side W2 is connected. Further, the water flow part 3Aa is formed with a recirculation port 3g for allowing excess water from the silver ion generation unit 2 to flow into the storage chamber 3a through the water injection port 2d on the wall surface to which the recirculation pipe W4 is connected.

  In the circulation port 3g, for example, when the water pressure is low (the amount of water is small), the water sent from the case 2A of the silver ion generating unit 2 flows into the storage chamber 3a from the inlet 3c via the water inlet 2d and the connecting pipe W3. However, with this amount of water, the impeller 3B may be turned and sufficient power may not be generated. Therefore, the remaining water in the case 2A of the silver ion generation unit 2 is circulated from the recirculation port 3gc of the hydroelectric generation unit 3 to the storage chamber 3a via the water injection port 2d of the silver ion generation unit 2 and the recirculation pipe W4. Even with water pressure, the impeller 3B can be rotated to such an extent that a sufficient amount of power generation can be obtained.

  The inlet 3c is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the storage chamber 3a so as to communicate with the wall surface to which the connecting pipe W3 is connected. Further, the reflux port 3g is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the storage chamber 3a so as to communicate with the wall surface to which the reflux tube W4 is connected. An outflow hole 3h is partially formed in the lower portion (inner bottom surface) of the impeller 3B shown in FIG. 6 of the storage chamber 3a.

  The water flow portion 3Aa is separated into an upper portion where the storage chamber 3a is formed and a lower portion where the drainage chamber 3d is formed, and the outflow hole 3h is in communication with the storage chamber 3a and the discharge chamber 3d. Is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the discharge chamber 3d is formed with a bypass 3i communicating with an outlet 3e formed on the wall surface to which the connecting pipe W3 is connected. This bypass 3i has the following configuration when the water pressure is increased with respect to the flow path through which the water sent from the storage chamber 3a to the discharge chamber 3i through the discharge hole 3h is discharged through the discharge port 3f. The gate 3j is opened to relieve the water pressure.

  The gate 3j includes a spring 3k having a natural length and stretched, which is fixed to an end portion of the flow path formed linearly from the outlet 3e, opposite to the side where the outlet 3e is formed, and the spring 3k. It consists of 3 m of valve bodies provided in the outflow port 3e side edge part. The valve body 3m is normally biased toward the outlet 3e by the spring 3k, and closes the outlet 3e as shown in FIG. 7 (a).

  When the water pressure from the connection pipe W3 increases (the flow rate increases), as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the water pressure to flow into the bypass 3i from the outlet 3e also increases. Moves against the biasing force of the spring 3k in the opposite direction to the side where the outlet 3e is provided in the bypass 3i. At this time, the outflow port 3e opens and water is discharged through the bypass 3i.

  First, the silver ion generating apparatus 1 having the above-described configuration will be described with respect to the flow of water. Water from the upstream side W1 is poured into the case 2A through the inlet 2a of the silver ion generating unit 2, and the water that fills the case 2A is supplied. Excess water that fills the case 2A and flows out from the water inlet 2d to the circulating pipe W4 flows out from the outlet 2b to the connecting pipe W3.

  The water flowing through the silver ion generator 2 is such that the inlet 2a and the outlet 2b are displaced from each other in the vertical and horizontal directions, that is, the inlet 2a is biased downward in the vertical direction of the case 2A and in the horizontal direction. Then, the outlet 2b is provided in the vertical direction of the case 2A, at the horizontal position in the horizontal direction, and at the center in the width direction, respectively, so that it spirals around the silver ion electrode 2C as shown in FIG. Water stream is generated. Thereby, the contact time of water and the silver ion electrode 2C can be lengthened, and the contact area of the silver ion electrode 2C can be used effectively.

  Water from the connection pipe W3 flows out from the inlet 3c of the hydroelectric generator 3 to the storage chamber 3a up to a predetermined water pressure, and flows out from the outlet 3e of the hydroelectric generator 3 to the discharge chamber 3d when the predetermined water pressure is exceeded. . On the other hand, the water from the reflux pipe W4 flows out from the reflux port 3g of the hydroelectric generator 3 to the storage chamber 3a.

  The water that has flowed into the storage chamber 3a from the outlet 3c and the recirculation port 3g up to a predetermined water pressure is discharged into the storage chamber 3a and rotates the impeller 3B, and then the discharge chamber 3d from the storage chamber 3a through the outflow hole 3h. To the downstream side W2 from the discharge port 3f.

  On the other hand, when a water pressure exceeding a predetermined value is applied to the outlet 3e (valve body 3m), the valve body 3m is moved away from the outlet 3e against the urging force of the spring 3k by the water pressure, The outlet 3e and the bypass 3i are opened so as to communicate with each other. The water flowing out to the bypass 3i flows out from the discharge port 3f to the downstream side W2 through the bypass 3i.

  When the rotor 3C rotates with respect to the stator 3C as the water rotates the impeller 3B in the hydroelectric generator 3 in the water flow, an induced electromotive force is generated in the stator 3C. The electric power at this time is supplied to the silver plate electrode 2a of the silver ion generator 2 via the wiring Ea.

  And the silver plate electrode 2a is made to contain silver ion in water by ion decomposition, and the water containing silver ion is discharged | emitted from the downstream W2. And as above-mentioned, the silver ion generator 1 of this invention arrange | positions the silver ion generation | occurrence | production part 2 in the upstream of the flow of water, and the hydroelectric generation part 3 in the downstream, so that the downstream hydroelectric generation part 3 is generally arranged. Since the water containing silver ions flows in, the occurrence of so-called “slimming” and “mold” in the hydroelectric power generation unit 3 is suppressed.

  As a result, the silver ion generator 1 of the present invention is always hygienic, and the occurrence of physical malfunctions due to the slime, mold, etc. of the hydroelectric power generation unit 3 is suppressed, and it can be used stably over a long period of time. be able to.

  In the above configuration, the connection pipe W4 is provided between the inlet 2d of the silver ion generator 2 and the recirculation port 3g of the hydroelectric generator 3. However, from the inlet 2d, the hydroelectric generator 3 It is good also as a structure which connects to the downstream W2 and provides a three-way valve in this connection part (not shown).

  According to this configuration, the water flow through the hydroelectric power generation unit 3 is stopped by switching the three-way valve and closing the discharge port 3f of the hydroelectric power generation unit 3 and opening the connection pipe W4. In other words, normal water can be discharged from the downstream side W2 via the silver ion generation part 2 in which no silver ions are generated.

  By switching the three-way valve, the discharge port 3f of the hydroelectric generator 3 is opened, and the connecting pipe W4 is closed, so that the silver ion generator is generated by the electric power generated by the hydroelectric generator 3 as in the above embodiment. 2, water mixed with silver ions can be discharged from the downstream side W2.

  By comprising in this way, when using the water which mixed silver ion, when using the normal water which is not so, it becomes possible to use properly, and the convenience improves.
