The present invention relates to a bathroom purifier used for sterilization in a bathroom.

To suppress the generation of stains such as mold by spraying sterilizing water containing a sterilizing component into a bathroom to sterilize it so as to reduce the burden of cleaning work in the bathroom, especially mold removing work. However, in recent years, there has been proposed a bathroom purifying facility that automatically sprays the sterilized water into the bathroom.

For example, in the bathroom purification equipment of Patent Document 1 below, a sprinkler for spraying sterilized water in the bathroom (bathroom space) is assembled, and if necessary, sterilized water is sprayed from the sprinkler to the bathroom. It is sprayed on the wall surface, ceiling surface, floor surface, etc., to disinfect and suppress the generation of mold.

As shown in these figures, the device main body 1 of the bathroom purifying device of the present embodiment includes a casing 10 with a watertight structure, and when left on pooled water W in a bathtub 85, a part (lower part) is It is positioned below the surface of the water, and is constructed so that it can float and move freely along the surface of the water with the remaining portion (upper portion) positioned above the surface of the water.

The casing 10 includes a plate-shaped base plate 11, a casing main body 12 provided on the base plate 11 and having an open upper end, and a lid 13 closing the upper end opening of the casing main body 12 in a watertight state. .

Between the outer periphery of the bottom surface of the casing body 12 and the outer periphery of the base plate 11, a circumferential groove-shaped recess (gap) 14 is formed so as to open outward. Further, a suction port 21 is formed in the outer periphery of the bottom surface of the casing body 12 so as to correspond to the recess 14 . Although the suction port 21 actually opens downward, it is arranged in the recess 14 that opens sideways. It is designed to be sucked into In other words, in this embodiment, the water W is sucked into the suction port 21 from the side of the main body 1 of the apparatus.

A discharge port 22 is formed on the lower surface (bottom surface) of the base plate 11 of the casing 10 at a position deviated from the axis of the casing 10 (apparatus main body 1). The discharge port 22 is opened downward, and is configured so that the electrolytic hypochlorite water generated inside the device main body 1 is discharged downward from the discharge port 22 .

Further, the upper wall of the casing 10 is provided with a spray nozzle 23 whose tip constitutes an ejection port, and the electrolytic hypochlorite water generated inside the device main body 1 is sprayed into the bathroom space through the spray nozzle 23. is configured as

In this embodiment, the suction port 21 and the discharge port 22 are arranged at a position lower than the surface of the pooled water W (below the water surface) when the device body 1 is suspended in the pooled water W, and the spray nozzle 23 is arranged at a position (above the water surface) higher than the surface of the pooled water W. The discharge port 22 does not necessarily need to be arranged under the water surface, and the sterilized water described later may be discharged from the water surface and supplied to the stagnant water 23 .

As shown in FIG. 4, the casing 10 is provided with a flow rate sensor 25, a salt tank 26, a gear pump 27, and an electrolytic tank 3 such as a chlorine tank as a sterilized water reservoir (sterilized water reservoir). These devices, the suction port 21, the discharge port 22 and the spray nozzle 23 are connected by a piping route 4 as follows.

That is, the downstream side of the suction port 21 is connected to the flow sensor 25 by the piping route 4, and the piping route 4 on the downstream side of the flow sensor 25 branches in the middle. The other branch path 4 is connected to the gear pump 27 via a check valve 41 . The other branch path 4 is further branched and connected to the discharge port 22 via a check valve 41 . In other words, the upstream side of the gear pump 27 is connected to the discharge port 22 .

The downstream side of the gear pump 27 is connected to the lower end portion of the electrolytic bath 3 , and the downstream side (upper end portion) of the electrolytic bath 3 is connected to the spray nozzle 23 .

The salt tank 26 is constructed so as to be able to contain sodium chloride such as table salt in its interior, and is capable of generating salt water by dissolving the salt in the sucked water passing through the inside as pooled water. there is

The gear pump 27 is a pump capable of forward and reverse rotation, and is configured to pump suction water such as salt water to the electrolytic cell 3 side as the downstream side by forward rotation, and to pump water into the electrolytic cell 3 by reverse rotation. The suction water is reversely flowed and pumped to the discharge port 22 side via the gear pump 27 .

5 and 6 are a side cross-sectional view and a plan cross-sectional view showing the electrolytic cell 3. FIG. As shown in both figures, the electrolytic cell 3 functions not only as a reaction vessel for electrolyzing salt water to generate electrolytic hypochlorite water, but also as a storage container for storing the generated electrolyzed hypochlorite water (disinfected water storage part).

The axis of the electrolytic cell 3 does not coincide with the axis of the apparatus main body 1 and is arranged at a position deviating from the axis of the apparatus main body 1 . The electrolytic bath 3 includes a bath body 30 having a circular horizontal cross section and capable of storing electrolytic sodium hypochlorite or the like. An introduction pipe 31 is attached to the bottom wall of the tank body 30 in a penetrating state. The introduction pipe 31 is arranged on the vertical axis of the electrolytic cell 3 and is arranged so that the tip (upper end) protrudes into the cell body 30 .

The upper end of the introduction pipe 31 is formed with a pair of outflow ports 32 that open in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction (both sides). The lower end side of the introduction pipe 31 is connected to the gear pump 27 via the piping path 4, and the salt water pressure-fed from the gear pump 27 flows into the introduction pipe 31 as indicated by the arrow W2 in FIGS. , and is discharged in both directions from both outlets 32 at the upper end of the pipe.

The bottom surface of the tank main body 30 is formed in a bowl shape (concave shape) with the deepest part being the center where the outlet 32 is located, and the salt water discharged to both sides from the outlet 32 is directed outward. While facing, it flows slightly obliquely upward along the concave bottom surface.

Further, current plates 33 are provided on the bottom surface of the tank main body 30 so as to correspond to both outlets 32 . Each straightening plate 33 is formed in an arc shape in plan view, and the salt water discharged from the outflow port 32 is guided along the inner peripheral surface of the arc-shaped straightening plate 33 so that the salt water flows in the circumferential direction ( It is configured to flow so as to swirl about the axis) to generate a swirling flow.

A plate-like electrode 34 for electrolysis is arranged on the bottom of the tank body 30 above the outflow port 32 and the rectifying plate 33 . Between the outer peripheral edge of the electrode 34 and the inner peripheral surface of the tank body 30, an outer peripheral gap 35 is formed through which salt water flows.

This electrode 34 also has a function as a restraining plate that restrains the salt water 2 discharged from the outflow port 32 from rising directly. It's like As a result, the salt water rises while swirling along the inner peripheral surface of the tank body 30 and fills the tank body 30 . The reason why the sucked salt water is swirled will be explained later.

6, reference numeral 36 denotes a screw portion for fixing the electrode 34 to the tank body 30. As shown in FIG.

Then, in a state where the tank body 30 is filled with salt water, voltage is applied to the electrode 34 by energization, and the salt water is electrolyzed, and the electrolytic hypochlorite containing sodium hypochlorite as the main component (removal) bacteria water) is generated.

The ceiling surface of the tank main body 30 is formed in a dome shape (inverted bowl shape) with the central portion as the highest portion, and an outlet port 37 is formed in the center of the upper surface. Furthermore, the spray nozzle 23 is attached to the outlet port 37 . In this embodiment, the spray nozzle 23 functions as a jet port (spray port).

The bathroom purifying apparatus of this embodiment includes a control circuit (control device) (not shown). By controlling the drive of the gear pump 27 and the energization of the electrode 34 based on the information from the bathroom spray mode and the accumulated water sterilization mode, which will be described in detail below, can be selectively executed. there is

First, the remote controller 5 in the bathroom purifying apparatus of this embodiment is placed outside the bathroom 8 such as the dressing room 9 and the outlet plug 51 of the remote controller 5 is inserted into the household outlet 91 .

Subsequently, the device main body 1 is made to float in the remaining hot water W or the like stored in the bathtub 85 in the bathroom 8. - 特許庁A predetermined amount of sodium chloride such as common salt is put into the salt tank 26 of the apparatus main body 1 in advance. In this embodiment, an opening leading to the salt tank 26 is provided on the upper surface of the apparatus main body 1, and a cap 261 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) is attached to this opening. Therefore, the cap 261 can be removed and a predetermined amount of salt can be put into the salt tank 26 through the opening using a measuring spoon or the like.

After setting the apparatus main body 1 in the bathtub 85 in this manner, the door 81 of the bathroom 8 is closed as necessary (see FIG. 1). In the bathroom purifier of this embodiment, the conductive cable 52 connecting the device body 1 arranged in the bathroom 8 and the remote control 5 arranged outside the bathroom 8 is connected to the opening of the door 81 of the bathroom 8. Therefore, when the door 81 is closed, it is sandwiched between the outer peripheral edge of the door 81 and the door opening edge 82 .

Here, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the power transmission cable 52 is formed by a flat cable having a flat cross-sectional shape, so as shown in FIG. By compressing and deforming the door packing 83, the power transmission cable 52 can be inserted and arranged between the outer peripheral edge of the door 81 and the door opening edge 82 without difficulty. A two-dot chain line in FIG. 8 indicates the elastic packing 83 in a state where the power transmission cable 52 is not laid and the door 81 is closed.

As described above, in this embodiment, even if the power transmission cable 52 is arranged in the door opening, the door 81 can reliably close the door opening and keep the bathroom 8 in a predetermined sealed state. can be held. Further, no excessive load (stress) is locally applied to the power transmission cable 52 due to the sandwiching between the door 81 and the door opening edge 82, and the power transmission cable 52 is effectively prevented from being damaged or deteriorated even if it is used for a long period of time. This can be prevented, and the desired durability can be reliably maintained.

In this embodiment, the thickness A1 of the power transmission cable 52 is set to 1.0 mm to 4.0 mm, as shown in FIG. It is preferable to set the width A2 to 6.0 mm to 10.0 mm.

After setting the bathroom purifier of the present embodiment in this way, an operation start command such as a bathroom spray mode or a pooled water sterilization mode is given to the apparatus body 1 via the remote controller 5 . In this embodiment, when the push button provided on the remote controller 5 is pressed for a long time, the bathroom spray mode is started, and when the button is pressed briefly once, the pooled water sterilization mode is started.

For example, when a push button is pressed for a long time to give an operation start command for the bathroom spray mode, the device body 1 performs the following operations in response to the command.

That is, the gear pump 27 rotates forward, the remaining hot water (pooled water) in the bathtub 85 is sucked from the suction port 21, and the sucked water passes through the flow rate sensor 25 and part of it is supplied to the salt tank 26, where salt is dissolved. Mixed and dissolved, sodium chloride aqueous solution (salt water) is sent out, and the salt water and the suction water bypassing the salt tank 26 merge to form salt water (primary salt water) of a predetermined concentration, which is sent to the gear pump 27 . sent in. Further, the primary salt water is sent into the electrolytic cell 3 by the gear pump 27 . When the electrolytic cell 3 is thus filled with a predetermined amount of primary salt water, the driving of the gear pump 27 is stopped.

After that, the electrodes 34 of the electrolytic cell 3 are energized, and electrolysis of the primary salt water is started in the electrolytic cell 3 . After a predetermined period of time has passed and enough electrolytic hypochlorite water (sterilized water) W1 is generated in the electrolytic cell 3 by electrolysis, the energization to the electrode 34 is stopped and the electrolysis is stopped.

When the electrolysis process is completed, the gear pump 27 rotates forward, and the remaining hot water is sucked from the suction port 21, becomes salt water (secondary salt water) W2 in the same manner as described above, and is fed into the electrolytic cell 3.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the secondary salt water W2 fed into the electrolytic cell 3 from the gear pump 27 is discharged along the bottom surface of the electrolytic cell 3 to both sides as described above. is induced by the circulatory flow, and rises along the inner peripheral surface of the electrolytic cell 3 . The secondary salt water W2 rising while swirling pushes up the electrolyzed hypochlorite (sterilized water) W1 generated in the electrolytic cell 3, and the sterilized water W1 flows through the upper end jet port 37 of the electrolytic cell 3. It passes through and is supplied to the spray nozzle 23, and is sprayed in the form of a mist from the tip of the nozzle.

In this way, the disinfected water W1 is sprayed into the space of the bathroom 8 (bathroom space), and the disinfected water W1 disinfects the entire area of the bathroom, such as the floor surface, wall surface, ceiling surface, window, and drain port of the bathroom 8. As a result, the generation of stains such as mold can be suppressed, and the burden of cleaning work in the bathroom can be remarkably reduced.

In the bathroom purifier of this embodiment, almost all of the sterilized water W1 in the electrolytic cell 3 is sprayed.

Here, in this embodiment, when the sterilized water W1 is sprayed from the spray nozzle 23, the sterilized water W1 in the electrolytic cell 3 is pushed up by the swirling secondary salt water W2. Following the turning of W2, the sterilized water W1 also rises while turning. For this reason, the sterilized water W1 and the secondary salt water W2 do not mix, and the two phases of the sterilized water W1 and the secondary salt water W2 rise in a separated state, and the sterilized water W1 and the secondary salt water W2 rise. Only this high-concentration sterilized water W1 can be sprayed without lowering the concentration of sodium chlorite (main component concentration). Therefore, the sterilization effect of the sterilization water W1 by spraying can be maintained high all the time, and a sufficient sterilization effect can be reliably obtained.

Here, in the present embodiment, the secondary salt water W2 constitutes the boosting water, and the gear pump 27 constitutes the introducing means. Further, the straightening plate 33 constitutes a swirling flow generating means, and the introduction pipe 31 constitutes an introduction portion.

Further, in this embodiment, a circumferential groove-shaped recess (gap) 14 that opens sideways (outward) is formed between the casing main body 12 of the apparatus main body 1 and the base plate 11, and the recess 14 Since the suction port 21 is formed inside, the pooled water W is sucked from the side of the device main body 1 when the pooled water W is sucked from the suction port 21 of the device main body 1 . This suction action causes the device body 1 to move in the direction opposite to the suction direction, so that the device body 1 floats over the entire area of the bathtub 85 so as to slowly move around. Since the sterilizing water W1 is sprayed from the moving device main body 1 in this manner, the sterilizing water W1 can be sprayed evenly over the entire area in the bathroom 8, and the sterilization effect can be further improved.

In addition, in this embodiment, since the suction port 21 is formed in the concave portion 14 provided on the side surface of the device main body 1, the device main body 1 floats and the side surface of the device main body 1 comes into contact with the wall surface of the bathtub 85. Even so, although the opening of the recess 14 is blocked by the wall surface of the bathtub, the suction port 21 is not blocked by the wall surface of the bathtub. Therefore, the operation of sucking the pooled water W can be stably performed, and the operational reliability and product quality can be improved.

Further, in this embodiment, the door opening can be reliably closed by the door 81 even though the power transmission cable 52 is passed through the door opening of the bathroom 8 . For this reason, the inside of the bathroom 8 can be kept in a reliably sealed state during the spraying of the sterilizing water W1. It can be reliably filled with sterilized water. Therefore, the sterilizing effect of the sterilizing water can be improved more reliably.

After the spraying of the sterilizing water W1 is finished, the secondary salt water W2 in the electrolytic cell 3 is discharged as required. That is, the gear pump 27 rotates in the reverse direction, and the residual water such as the secondary salt water W2 remaining in the electrolytic cell 3 flows backward and is supplied to the gear pump 27 side through the introduction pipe 31 of the electrolytic cell 3, and the residual water flows into the gear pump. 27 is returned into the bathtub 85 through the outlet 22 . When the residual water in the electrolytic cell 3 is thus returned to the bathtub 85, the bathroom spray mode is completed.

On the other hand, when performing the pooled water sterilization mode, the device body 1 with the salt added to the salt tank 26 is installed in the bathroom in the same manner as described above. In this case, the door 81 of the bathroom 8 does not necessarily have to be closed and may be left open.

In this state, the push button of the remote controller 5 is briefly pressed once to issue an operation start command for the pooled water disinfection mode.

In response to this command, the apparatus body 1 causes the gear pump 27 to rotate forward in the same manner as described above, and pooled water W is sucked from the suction port 21 in the same manner as in the bathroom spray mode, and salt water ( After the primary salt water is filled, the salt water is electrolyzed to generate electrolytic hypochlorite water (disinfected water) W1.

After that, the gear pump 27 rotates in the reverse direction, and the sterilized water W1 in the electrolytic bath 3 flows backward, passes through the gear pump 27, and is discharged from the discharge port 22 into the pooled water W of the bathtub 85.例文帳に追加

Thus, the sterilized water W1 is discharged into the pooled water W of the bathtub 85, and the pooled water W is sterilized and purified by the sterilized water W1.

When all the sterilized water W1 in the electrolytic cell 3 is discharged into the pooled water W, the pooled water sterilization mode is completed.

Here, in the present embodiment, since the electrolytic cell 3 is arranged at a position deviating from the axis of the apparatus main body 1, the sterilizing water W1 is supplied into the pooled water W to sterilize the inside of the electrolytic cell 3. As the water W1 decreases, the weight of the entire electrolytic cell 3 including the sterilized water W1 decreases, and the center of gravity of the apparatus main body 1 changes. As a result, the device main body 1 tilts and swings above the pooled water W in the bathtub 85, so that the sterilized water W1 discharged from the discharge port 22 is discharged in random directions. Therefore, the sterilized water W1 can be dispersedly supplied in the pooled water W, and the sterilized water W1 can be mixed while stirring the pooled water W, so that all the pooled water W can be evenly distributed. It can be sterilized, and the sterilization effect can be further improved.

Furthermore, since the discharge port 22 is arranged at a position deviating from the axis of the device main body 1, the device main body 1 swings due to the discharge force when the sterilized water W1 is discharged from the discharge port 22. - 特許庁Also in this respect, the sterilizing water W1 can be scattered in various directions and discharged while stirring the pooled water W, the entire pooled water W can be sterilized evenly, and the sterilizing effect can be further improved. .

As described above, in the bathroom purifying device of the present embodiment, only by operating the portable device body 1 by floating it on the pooled water W such as the remaining hot water of the bathtub 85, the disinfected water W1 is sprayed into the bathroom 8. A bathroom spray mode for sterilizing the floor surface, wall surface, ceiling surface, etc., and a pooled water sterilization mode for sterilizing the pooled water W by mixing the sterilized water W1 into the pooled water W can be performed. Therefore, in the bathroom purifying device of this embodiment, there is no need for large-scale work such as installing a sprayer for spraying the sterilized water, pipes and pumps for spraying, etc. in the bathroom, just bringing the device main body 1 into the bathroom. It is possible to easily sterilize pooled water such as a bathroom and remaining hot water with , and to remarkably improve convenience at a low cost without requiring labor.

In addition, in the bathroom purification system of this embodiment, since the device body 1 that sprays the sterilizing water floats freely on the stagnant water, the sterilizing water can be supplied evenly throughout the bathroom, and sufficient sterilization can be achieved. You can get the antibacterial effect. Similarly, the sterilizing water can be evenly mixed into the pooled water in the bathtub, and the sterilizing effect can be further improved.

In particular, in this embodiment, as described above, even with the suction force of the pooled water W from the suction port 21, the discharge force of the sterilized water W1 from the discharge port 21, and the weight change due to the reduction of the sterilized water in the electrolytic cell 3 Since the device body 1 is rocked or moved, the sterilizing water can be sprayed or discharged evenly, and the sterilizing effect can be further improved.

In addition, in the bathroom purifier of this embodiment, salt is mixed in pooled water W sucked from the bathtub, and the salt water is electrolyzed to generate sterilized water. Operation can be started just by putting it in. For example, there is no need for troublesome work such as separately preparing the sterilized water itself and storing it in a tank or the like, so convenience can be further improved.

In addition, in the bathroom purifying device of the present embodiment, there are a bathroom spray mode in which disinfected water is sprayed into the bathroom space to disinfect the bathroom, and a bathroom spray mode in which the disinfected water is supplied into the pooled water to disinfect the pooled water. Since two types of modes (sterilization) different from the pooled water sterilization mode can be performed, sterilization can be performed according to the application, and high versatility is provided.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the secondary salt water W2 pushes up and sprays the sterilized water W1 in the electrolytic cell 3, the secondary salt water W2 is swirled. W2 rises in a separated state without being mixed, and only high-concentration sterilization water W1 can be sprayed reliably, and low-concentration sterilization water W1 due to salt water contamination is prevented from being released. can be prevented. Therefore, the sterilization effect of the sterilization water W1 by spraying can be maintained at a high level, and the sterilization effect can be improved more reliably.

For reference, in an experimental example using the bathroom purifying device of the present embodiment, the concentration of sodium hypochlorite in the sprayed sterilized water was changed to When measured in the second half of spraying (the state immediately before the sterilized water in the electrolytic cell 3 is replaced with the secondary salt water), the concentration in the first half was 23.26 ppm and the concentration in the second half was 15.16 ppm. , No significant decrease in concentration was observed from the first half to the second half of spraying, and it was confirmed that mixing of the sterilizing water and salt water could be sufficiently suppressed.

Although the bathtub purifier of the above embodiment is configured to selectively perform the bathroom spray mode and the pooled water sterilization mode, the bathtub purifier of the present invention is not limited to this. The mode and the pooled water sterilization mode may be sequentially performed, or both modes may be performed concurrently. For example, by providing two discharge paths for the sterilized water from the electrolytic cell or by providing two electrolytic cells, both modes can be performed simultaneously.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case of using a rectifying plate as the means for generating a swirling flow has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and any means capable of generating a swirling flow may be used. can be adopted.
