Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a water treatment apparatus that magnetizes water by applying a magnetic field, thereby purifying the water. In particular, the present invention relates to a small-sized water treatment apparatus that can be used for aquarium fish tanks and household pots.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Until now, a large number of filter media made of thin glass fibers have been generally used as water treatment devices used for aquarium fish tanks. When this filter material is placed in an appropriate case and compressed air is sent from the air pump through the case into the water tank, a negative pressure is generated in the case, and contaminants mixed in the water in the water tank are generated. It is sucked into the case. The contaminants sucked in this way are entangled with the filter material in the case. In this way, pollutants in the water tank can be removed.

[0003] Activated carbon is generally used as a water treatment device for pots used at home and similar household items. By immersing activated carbon in a bag made of water-permeable material and immersing it in the pot, it absorbs the odor of water in the pot and fine dust. In addition, a large number of water treatment devices used for relatively large facilities such as water pipes have been proposed.

As one example, a water treatment apparatus described in Japanese Patent No. 2622911 is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 is a plan view of the water treatment apparatus, and FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line BB of FIG.

The water treatment apparatus 70 shown in FIG. 3 has a cylindrical outer case 71, a first treated water storage section 72 into which treated water flows in and temporarily stored, and a treated water treated by water. A second to-be-processed water storage part 73 that is temporarily stored.

As shown in FIG. 4, inside the outer case 71, four water passage pipes 74 coated with a far-infrared radiating material and a water passage pipe 74 adjacent to the water passage pipe 74. Permanent magnets 75 respectively disposed on both sides are provided. The water passage pipes 74 are arranged in two rows of two pipes, and a total of three permanent magnets 75 are arranged on both sides of each row.

[0007] The water treatment device 70 operates as follows.

The water to be treated is once stored in the first water to be treated storage section 52, and then sent to the water pipe 74 disposed in the external case 71. Since the far-infrared radiating material is applied to the water passage pipe 74, the water to be treated is activated by heat radiation from the far-infrared radiating material.

Further, the water to be treated is subjected to an electronic excitation effect caused by a magnetic field formed by the permanent magnet 75, and is turned into fine particles. The finely divided water promotes dissolution of red rust and so on, so it removes red rust and other dirt adhering to the inner wall of the water pipe, and further prevents red rust from re-adhering.

[0010]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 As described above, in the conventional water treatment apparatus 70 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a plurality of permanent magnets 75 are disposed inside the outer case 71, and the magnetic field formed by these permanent magnets 75. By the action of the above, the water to be treated is finely divided.

As described above, in a water treatment apparatus that purifies water using a magnetic action, how to effectively apply a magnetic field to the water to be treated is a very important factor.

However, in the conventional water treatment apparatus 70 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the permanent magnets 75 are simply arranged around the water pipe 74, and the magnetic field is not always effectively applied to the water to be treated. It is not what is acting.

In principle, if the water treatment apparatus shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is miniaturized, it can be applied to an ornamental fish tank, a domestic pot, and the like. Purification efficiency is not always enough.

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem in the conventional water treatment apparatus, and makes it possible to effectively apply a magnetic field to the water to be treated and increase the water purification efficiency. It is an object of the present invention to provide a treatment device, particularly a small water treatment device.

[0015]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 To achieve this object, claim 1 of the present invention is directed to an inner case capable of communicating a fluid between the inside and the outside, a mineral ball filled in the inner case, and an inner case. And a magnetic means for applying a magnetic field to the fluid flowing from three different directions.

As the magnetic means, for example, three sets of N-pole and S-pole magnets can be used. These three sets of magnets are arranged around the inner case to form a magnetic field in three different directions.

For example, in the conventional water treatment apparatus 70 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, only the permanent magnets 75 are disposed on both sides of the pipe 74 for passing water. Produces only a magnetic field in one direction.

On the other hand, in the water treatment apparatus according to the present invention, as described above, magnetic fields in three different directions are formed, and these magnetic fields act on the fluid flowing through the inner case at the same time. It is possible to magnetize the fluid and thus purify it.

Further, since the mineral flowing from the mineral balls is supplied to the fluid flowing through the inner case, a mineral-containing fluid can be easily generated, and the quality of the fluid can be improved.

[0020] The second case is different from the inner case in which fluid can be communicated between the inside and the outside, the mineral balls filled in the inner case, and the fluid flowing inside the inner case. Magnetic means for applying a magnetic field from at least one pair of N-pole magnets and S-pole magnets, each having three sets of magnet supports arranged facing each other and arranged around the inner case. A water treatment apparatus comprising: a magnetic means that is capable of covering the inner case and the magnetic means; and an outer case having a size capable of covering a fluid between the inside and the outside.

In the water treatment apparatus according to the present invention, similarly to the water treatment apparatus according to the first aspect, magnetic fields in three different directions are formed, and these magnetic fields act on the fluid flowing through the inner case at the same time. It is possible to efficiently magnetize and thus purify the fluid.

Further, since the mineral flowing from the mineral balls is supplied to the fluid flowing through the inner case, a mineral-containing fluid can be easily generated, and the quality of the fluid can be improved.

Claim 3 is an inner case in which a fluid can be communicated between the inside and the outside, a mineral ball filled in the inner case, and magnetic means for applying a magnetic field to the fluid, At least three sets of N-pole magnets and S-pole magnets disposed on the bottom surface of the inner case so as to face each other, and are spaced below the bottom surface and face the one magnet. A water treatment device comprising: a magnetic unit including the other magnet arranged in a horizontal direction; and an outer case having a size capable of covering the inner case and allowing fluid communication between the inside and the outside. I do.

According to the water treatment apparatus of the present invention, a magnetic field is formed between the pair of magnets, and these magnetic fields act on the fluid flowing through the inner case. Can be purified.

Further, since the mineral flowing from the mineral balls is supplied to the fluid flowing through the inner case, a mineral-containing fluid can be easily generated, and the quality of the fluid can be improved.

In particular, according to the water treatment apparatus of the present invention, since the magnetic means is constituted by the inner case and the magnet arranged below the inner case, the volume required by the magnetic means is increased by the magnetic means. It can be made smaller than the means, and the whole water treatment apparatus can be formed compact.

Further, as described in claim 4, it is preferable that the three directions are three directions forming an angle of 120 degrees with each other.

By setting the three directions for forming the magnetic field at equal intervals in this manner, the magnetic field can be uniformly applied to the fluid flowing inside the inner case.

[0029] As described in claim 5, the present water treatment apparatus can further include a porous body through which air can pass below the inner case.

For example, by sending compressed air into this porous body, the compressed air that has passed through the porous body flows into the inside of the inner case, and can generate convection inside the inside case. When convection occurs between the fluids, the amount of the fluid on which the magnetic field acts in a unit time can be increased, so that the magnetization and the purification of the fluid can be promoted more efficiently.

As described in claim 6, a suction cup can be attached to the inner case. By attaching a suction cup, the inner case can be detachably attached to other parts such as a water tank or a pot.

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a water treatment apparatus according to the present invention.

The water treatment apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment includes an inner case 12, a mineral ball 14 filled in the inner case 12, a magnetic unit 16 formed around the inner case 12, And a case 18.

The inner case 12 includes a top plate 20 made of plastic or metal, a base 22, and a plurality of spacers 24 connecting the top plate 20 and the base 22. Six through holes 26 are formed in the top plate 20 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and a convex portion 28 for supporting the outer cover 18 is formed in the center. A hole is formed in the center of the convex portion 28, and a female screw is formed in this hole.

The inner case 12 is filled with mineral balls 14, and a fluid communicating between the inside and the outside of the inner case 12 comes into contact with the mineral balls 14. The mineral ball 14 is a sphere made of ceramics containing barley stone as a main component.

The magnetic means 16 arranged around the inner case 12 is composed of six magnetic generators 46 arranged around the inner case 12, and is provided for a fluid flowing inside the inner case 12. Magnetic fields are applied from three different directions.

Each magnetic generator 46 has a pair of rectangular magnet support plates 30a, 30b, and a spacer 31 for supporting the magnet support plates 30a, 30b in a mutually facing and spaced state. And two N-pole magnets 32a attached to a magnet support plate 30a located radially outside the inner case 12, and a magnet support plate 30b located radially inside the inner case 12. And two attached S-pole magnets 32b. The N pole magnet 32a and the S pole magnet 32b are arranged to face each other.

Each of the permanent magnets 32 a and 32 b is made of a ferrite magnet and has a magnetic force of 1000 to 1800 Gauss.

The two magnetic generators 46 are arranged at equal intervals around the inner case 12 so as to face each other with the inner case 12 interposed therebetween as a pair. That is, one magnetic generator 46 forms an angle of 60 degrees with two adjacent magnetic generators 46. Accordingly, the directions formed by the three sets (six in total) of the magnetic generators 46 are at an angle of 120 degrees to each other.

These three sets of magnetic generators 46 constituting the magnetic means 16 apply magnetic fields to the fluid flowing inside the inner case 12 from three different directions.

The base 22 of the inner case 12 is supported on a base member 34.

The outer case 18 is a cylindrical member made of transparent plastic. The bottom surface of the outer case 18 is open, and the outer case 18 can be covered via the opening bottom surface so as to cover the inner case 12 and the magnetic means 16.

The upper surface 36 of the outer case 18 is provided with six circular through holes 38 at regular intervals along the outer circumference. A through hole 40 is also formed at the center of the upper surface 36, and a screw 42 is inserted into the through hole 40 and screwed into a female screw hole of the convex portion 28 formed on the top plate 20 of the inner case 12. By doing so, the outer case 18 and the inner case 12 can be connected.

Further, six cutouts 44 extending upward from the bottom surface of the opening are formed on the circumferential side surface of the outer case 18.

The water treatment device 10 according to the present embodiment operates as follows.

The water treatment apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment is installed in, for example, an aquarium fish tank.

When the water in the water tank flows into the outer case 18 from the notch 44 of the outer case 18, the water crosses the magnetic field formed by the three sets of magnetic generators 46 at right angles in the vertical direction. And as a result, water has an electronic excitation effect. Since water has a certain degree of electrical conductivity, when water comes into contact with a magnetic field, energy conversion occurs between water molecules, and as a result, water is atomized. Micronized water has a high energy level and has the effect of promoting the decomposition of dirt in water. For this reason, the generation of suspended matter in water can be suppressed.

In particular, experiments performed by the inventor have confirmed that the present water treatment apparatus can suppress the generation of algae in the water tank.

According to the present embodiment, the magnetic field is formed in three different directions by the three sets of magnetic generators 46, so that the magnetic field effectively acts on the water flowing in the inner case 12, and the suspension as described above is performed. The turbid matter decomposition promoting function is further enhanced.

Further, the water magnetized by the three sets of magnetic generators 46 passes through the inside of the inner case 12, so that the water is supplied with minerals from the mineral balls 14 and becomes water containing minerals. For this reason, it is possible to generate water with favorable water quality for breeding ornamental fish.

When the inventor prototyped the water treatment apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, the outer diameter of the entire water treatment apparatus was about 75 mm and the height was about 86 mm. This is large enough to be installed in an aquarium.

The water treatment apparatus 10 according to the above-described embodiment is not limited to the above-described configuration, and various changes can be made.

For example, the base member 34 can be formed from a porous material through which air can pass. By sending the compressed air to the base member 34 made of a porous material, the compressed air that has passed through the base member 34 flows into the inside of the inner case 12, and can generate an upward flow inside the inside case 12. .

Thus, the supply of minerals from the mineral balls 14 to water can be promoted, and the amount of water flowing in the magnetic field formed by the three sets of magnetic generators 46 per unit time can be increased. Therefore, the magnetization and purification of the fluid can be promoted more efficiently.

Further, a suction cup can be attached to the bottom surface of the base member 34. Thereby, the present water treatment apparatus 10 can be fixed at a desired position in the water tank.

In the present embodiment, three magnetic generators 46 are provided, but four or more magnetic generators 46 may be provided.

Of the two disks 55a and 55b, the upper disk 55a is provided with six circular through-holes 56 at equal intervals along the outer periphery thereof. And a female screw is formed on the inner wall of the hole provided at the center of the convex portion 57.

A plurality of mineral balls 52 are housed inside the inner case 51.

A disk 58 having the same shape as the disks 55 a and 55 b is supported below the inner case at a distance from the disk 55 b, and a base member 60 is attached below the disk 58. Have been killed.

Six through-holes are formed in the disk 55b at equal intervals along the circumferential direction, and N-pole permanent magnets 62a are embedded in the through-holes, respectively. Similarly, the disk 58 is also formed with six through-holes at equal intervals along the circumferential direction, and the S-pole permanent magnet 62b is embedded in each of the through-holes.

The N-pole magnet 62a and the S-pole magnet 62b are arranged so as to face each other in the vertical direction, and a magnetic field is formed between the N-pole magnet 62a and the S-pole magnet 62b. It has become.

Each of the permanent magnets 62 a and 62 b is made of a ferrite magnet and has a magnetic force of 1000 to 1800 Gauss.

Each of the permanent magnets 62a, 62b forms an angle of 60 degrees with each of two adjacent permanent magnets 62a, 62b.

The outer case 54 in the present embodiment has basically the same structure as the outer case 18 in the above-described first embodiment, although there is a difference in size.

The water treatment device 50 according to the present embodiment operates as follows.

The water treatment apparatus 50 according to the present embodiment is used, for example, in a household pot. When the water in the water tank flows into the outer case 54 from the notch 64 of the outer case 54, the water crosses the magnetic field formed by the magnetic means 53 at right angles in the vertical direction. Excitation works. Since water has a certain degree of electrical conductivity, when water is exposed to a magnetic field, energy is converted between water molecules, and as a result, the water is atomized. Micronized water has a high energy level and has the effect of promoting the decomposition of dirt in the water. Therefore, generation of suspended matter in water can be suppressed.

Further, the water magnetized by the magnetic means 53 passes through the inside of the inner case 51, so that the water is supplied with minerals from the mineral balls 52 and becomes water containing minerals. For this reason, it is possible to generate water having a preferable quality as drinking water.

When the inventor prototyped the water treatment apparatus 50 according to the present embodiment, the outer diameter of the entire water treatment apparatus was about 55 mm, and the height was about 86 mm. This is large enough to be installed in the pot.
