2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 11, a plurality of ring-shaped permanent magnets 101 are loaded in a stacked state inside a cylindrical case 100 as a fluid treatment tool for reforming tap water. There has been proposed a magnetization processing tool having a structure as described above. This magnetized processing tool has a hollow hole 103 inside the cylindrical case 100.
A water pipe 102 is inserted through the water pipe 102 so that a magnetic field generated by each permanent magnet 101 acts on the inside of the water pipe 102.

[0003] The magnetizing treatment tool having the above-mentioned structure has a function of softening tap water by a magnetizing process, but does not have a function of filtering impurities contained in tap water. Fluid treatment tools called "water purifiers" are widely used for the purpose of removing impurities.However, these water purifiers only remove impurities contained in tap water. There is no function to soften. As described above, the conventional magnetizing treatment tool and water purifier alone are not enough to improve the quality of tap water. Must be attached to a tube.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which a fluid treatment tool 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is interposed in a water pipe 2. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the fluid treatment tool 1 of the illustrated example has a magnetized member 4 for magnetizing a fluid inside a cylindrical case 3 made of synthetic resin, and a filtration process for the fluid. The filter member 5 to be applied is housed and arranged in series.

The cylindrical case 3 is integrally formed with connecting cylinders 6 and 7 having small diameters at both ends. The tip is formed as an outlet 9 through which treated tap water flows out. Metal connecting bases 10 and 11 are attached to the connecting cylinders 6 and 7, respectively.
0, 11 each of the upstream and downstream water pipes 2a,
The fluid treatment tool 1 is connected to 2b.

The cylindrical case 3 can be divided at a central position where the filter member 5 and the magnetization processing member 4 are continuous with each other. The half case bodies divided into two (hereinafter, referred to as “divided case bodies”) are integrally connected to each other by fitting them so that their open ends abut each other to form the cylindrical case 3. As shown in FIG. 4, inward projections 6 and 6 are formed integrally at diagonal positions on the inner peripheral surface of the open end of one split case body 3A. On the outer peripheral surface of the open end of the other split case body 3B, as shown in FIG. 5, a flange-like portion 7 that goes around and a pair of outward projections 8 and 8 at diagonal positions interpose a groove gap. It is formed integrally.

When the open end of one split case body 3A is fitted into the outer peripheral surface of the open end of the other split case body 3B and rotated by a predetermined angle, the inward projections 6, 6 of the split case body 3A are rotated. Engages in the groove gap between the outward projections 8, 8 of the split case body 3B and the flange portion 7. 3 and 5
In the figure, 9 is an O-ring mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the open end of the divided case body 3B in order to prevent water leakage from the fitting portions of the divided case bodies 3A and 3B.

The filter member 5 and the magnetization processing member 4 are coaxially arranged in series inside the cylindrical case 3. The filter member 5 is located inside one divided case body 3A, and the magnetization processing member 4 is located inside the other divided case body 3B. In this embodiment, each of the divided case members 3A and 3B is capable of accommodating the filter member 5 or the magnetization processing member 4 therein. Therefore, the filter member 5 and the magnetization processing member inside the cylindrical case 3 are provided. The arrangement order with the member 4 can be changed.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the filter member 5 has a support tube 21 inserted into an inner hole of a cylindrical filter 20 and one end of the inner hole of the support tube 21 is closed with a plug 22. . The support cylinder 21 and the plug 22 are made of synthetic resin, and the support cylinder 21 has a number of water holes 23 formed therein.
The tap water flowing into the inside of the cylindrical case 3 from the inflow port 8 enters the inner hole of the support tube 21, but the downstream end of the support tube 21 is closed by the plug 22, so that the water hole 23 is closed. After passing through the fine holes of the cylindrical filter 20, it reaches the outer periphery of the cylindrical filter 20. When the tap water passes through the micropores of the cylindrical filter 20, the tap water is filtered.

The tubular filter 20 uses, as a filter element, an absolute coat pleated filter (trade name: manufactured by Eiko Filter Co., Ltd.) made of a nonwoven fabric of polypropylene. This filter element has a pore size of 0.1 to 40 μm, and can be steam-sterilized. As another filter element, the pore size is 0.0
An asymmetric hydrophilic membrane filter made of PES having a thickness of 4 to 0.6 μm, or a filter using a hollow fiber can be used.

And a magnetic field generating tube 32. Both ends of each magnetic field generating tube 32 are fixedly fastened to each end plate 30, 31. One end plate 30 located on the upstream side has a slightly larger diameter than the opening surface of the divided case body 3B, and the outer peripheral edge is supported by the open end surface of the divided case body. As shown in FIG. 10, six semicircular notches 33 for water passage are formed on the outer peripheral edge of the end plate 30. The other end plate 31 located on the downstream side has a slightly smaller diameter than the opening surface of the divided case body 3B, and can be inserted into the divided case body 3B. As shown in FIG. 9, a circular hole 34 for water flow is formed at the center of the end plate 31.

The internal space surrounded by the magnetic field generating tubes 32, 32 arranged in a circle, the external space between each magnetic field generating tube 32 and the cylindrical case 3, and the adjacent magnetic field generating tubes 3
The gap between the two 32 defines a passage through which the fluid flows. The tap water filtered by the filter member 5 is introduced into the external space outside each magnetic field generating tube 32 through the notch 33 of the end plate 30 and generates a magnetic field through the gap between the adjacent magnetic field generating tubes 32. It reaches the internal space surrounded by the pipes 32, 32 and flows out from the circular hole 34 of the end plate 31.

Each magnetic field generating tube 32 is formed by closing both ends of a cylindrical pipe 35 made of stainless steel with caps 36 and 37. The caps 35 and 36 are fixed to the end plates 30 and 31 with screws. A plurality of cylindrical permanent magnets 37 and a disk-shaped yoke 38 are alternately stacked in the hollow interior of the pipe 35.

Each of the permanent magnets 37 is made of a ferrite magnet or a neodymium magnet, and is magnetized so that N and S magnetic poles are generated in the longitudinal direction. The orientation of each permanent magnet 37 is set such that the same magnetic poles are opposed to each other with the yoke 38 interposed therebetween. As a result, N magnetic poles and S magnetic poles are alternately formed on the outer periphery of each yoke 38. Caps 36, 37 at both ends
A sealing member 39 is provided inside the magnetic field generating tube 3.

Needless to say, the number and arrangement are not limited to those of the above-described embodiment.

In the fluid treatment tool 1 having the above-described configuration, tap water flowing through the water pipe 2a flows into the inside of the cylindrical case 3 from the inflow port 8 at one end of the cylindrical case 3. The inflowing untreated tap water is first filtered by the filter member 5 while passing through the cylindrical case 3, and is then reformed by being magnetized by the magnetizing member 4. The reformed tap water flows out of the outlet 9 at the other end of the cylindrical case 3 to the water pipe 2b.

Inside each magnetic field generating tube 32, each yoke 3
8 has N, S magnetic poles formed by a plurality of permanent magnets 37 on the outer periphery.
Since the magnetic flux lines are generated alternately, magnetic lines of force act from the N magnetic pole on the outer periphery of the yoke 38 toward the fluid passage on the outer periphery of the magnetic field generating tube 32, and the magnetic lines return to the S magnetic pole on the outer periphery of the adjacent yoke 38, A strong magnetic field is generated in the fluid passage.
