Description

  The present invention relates to a simple water heater that is portable and can easily activate water.

  Conventionally, as an active water device or a water purifier, a type attached to a faucet of a water supply is widely used, but it becomes a stationary type and cannot be used outside or outside (for example, the following patent document) 1). Some have been devised that can be used easily when going outside or outside, but most of the raw water is poured into the upper inlet, filtered with activated carbon, etc., and the purified water is taken out from the lower outlet. It was not easy to use (for example, Patent Document 2 below).

In view of this, a portable water purifier has been devised in which a water purifier body holding a water purifying agent is accommodated in a case composed of a sheath and a handle (Patent Document 3 below).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-244261 Utility Model Registration No. 3003394 Utility Model Registration No. 3113970

  However, in the water purifier as described above, since the water purifying action is performed only by bringing the water purifying agent into contact with water, there is a limit to the water purifying action. In addition, since the water purifier main body is attached to the sheath, it is convenient when purifying the water by using it like a mudler against water in a container such as a cup. It cannot be used and there are restrictions on how to use. And in the said water purifier, since the water purifying agent in the water purifier main body cannot be replaced | exchanged, there also exists a problem that it becomes impossible to use, if the water capacity of a water purifying agent falls.

  This invention is made | formed in view of such a situation, and it aims at provision of the simple water heater which can activate water simply and effectively by various usage methods.

  In order to achieve the above object, a simple water heater of the present invention comprises an outer cylinder having both ends opened and a water flow window formed in the middle, and an inner case fitted into the outer cylinder, The outer cylinder is formed of ceramics whose at least the surface layer emits far infrared rays, the inner case is formed to be separable, and a granular dechlorinating agent is accommodated therein, and water is circulated through the peripheral wall. The gist is that the opening is formed and the inner case containing the dechlorinating agent is inserted into the water to be activated while being inserted into the outer cylinder.

  That is, the simple water heater according to the present invention is an active water target in a state in which at least the surface layer portion of the outer cylinder is formed of ceramics that emits far-infrared rays, and an inner case containing a dechlorinating agent is inserted into the outer cylinder. Therefore, effective water purification and the active water effect can be obtained not only by the water purification effect by the dechlorinating agent but also by the active water effect by the ceramics that emits far infrared rays. The ceramics can directly radiate far-infrared rays to water, effectively vibrate water molecules, and subdivide hydrogen bond groups (clusters) of water molecules. In addition, since the surface layer portion is formed of ceramics, it is excellent in scratch strength and the like and hardly damaged, and is not easily attacked by acid or alkali, and is excellent in durability for long-term use. Furthermore, since the granular dechlorinating agent is housed inside the inner case and a mesh opening is formed in the peripheral wall to circulate the water, the dechlorinating agent effectively contacts the water to effectively remove residual chlorine. To remove. Moreover, since the inner case is formed to be separable, when the dechlorination effect of the dechlorinating agent has declined, the internal dechlorinating agent can be replaced with a new one and used repeatedly like a new one. Become.

  In the present invention, the inner case is formed to be divisible along the longitudinal direction, the internal space is partitioned into a plurality of storage spaces, and the mesh openings are provided corresponding to the plurality of storage spaces, respectively. In the case where the water is contained, it is possible to accommodate and use water purification agents and activators other than dechlorinating agents such as ceramic particles and activated carbon that activate water in a plurality of housing spaces, and further effective water purification and active water operations. Can be obtained.

  In the present invention, the inner case is formed of a polygonal column part in which a ridge line is inscribed in the inner surface of the outer cylinder, and a flange part formed at an end of the polygonal column part, and is a wall surface sandwiched between ridge lines of the polygonal column part When a mesh opening is formed in the outer cylinder, when the inner case containing the dechlorinating agent is inserted into the outer cylinder while being inserted into the outer cylinder, The water that flows into the outer cylinder from the opening passes through a gap formed between the inner surface of the outer cylinder and the wall surface of the polygonal column portion, flows into the inner case from the mesh opening of the wall surface, and comes into contact with the dechlorinating agent. Further, when flowing through the gap between the inner surface of the outer cylinder and the wall surface of the polygonal column portion, it is activated by the action of ceramics. Thus, the dechlorinating agent or ceramics can be effectively brought into contact with water, and purified water and active water can be efficiently performed.

  Next, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a simple water heater according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2A is a cross-sectional view of an outer cylinder 1 constituting the simple water heater, and FIG. FIG. 2C is a cross-sectional view of the inner case 2 in a state where the inner case is divided.

  The simple water heater includes a cylindrical outer cylinder 1 and an inner case 2 that is fitted into the outer cylinder 1.

  The outer cylinder 1 has both ends opened and a water flow window 5 formed in the middle. The distribution window 5 is formed at a substantially central portion in the longitudinal direction of the outer cylinder 1 by a slit-shaped notch having a depth of about half of the outer diameter. Locking grooves 6 for locking the inserted inner case are formed in portions near both ends of the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder 1.

  In this example, the outer cylinder 1 has a base material made of metal, and its surface is covered with a ceramic layer that emits far infrared rays, so that at least the surface layer portion is made of ceramics that emit far infrared rays.

  The material constituting the ceramic layer preferably has a high emissivity value of 70% or more for electromagnetic waves in the infrared region, and various materials can be used. For example, a ceramic gradient material mainly composed of alumina, which is excellent in corrosion resistance, insulation, scratch strength, etc., is preferably used. This ceramic gradient material mainly composed of alumina is excellent in scratch strength and peeling resistance and is not easily damaged, and the water quality is hardly changed.

  When the ceramic layer is a high emissivity material having an emissivity with respect to electromagnetic waves in the infrared region of 70% or more, the active effect is further increased. That is, water has an electromagnetic wave absorption spectrum in the wavelength region of 3 μm, 6 μm, 9 μm, 12 μm,. Among these, the wavelength ranges of 2.66 μm, 2.73 μm, and 6.27 μm effectively vibrate water molecules by absorbing electromagnetic waves. This vibration subdivides the hydrogen-bonded population (cluster) of water molecules, lowers the oxidation-reduction potential of water, and activates water.

  The thickness of the ceramic layer is preferably 5 μm or more and 250 μm or less. The upper limit value of the thickness is more preferably 200 μm, and the lower limit value of the thickness is more preferably 10 μm. If the thickness of the ceramic layer is less than 5 μm, the scratch strength and corrosion resistance are not sufficient, and if it exceeds 250 μm, it is not preferable in terms of cost.

  On the other hand, the inner case 2 is made of resin in this example, and has a flange portion 8 formed at the end of the hexagonal column portion 7 as a polygonal column portion having the same length as the outer cylinder 1.

  The hexagonal column portion 7 is formed so that the vertex of the hexagon is inscribed in the inner surface of the outer cylinder 1, and the length is set to be the same as the length of the outer cylinder 1. The flange portion 8 has a disc shape and has an outer diameter that is the same as the outer diameter of the outer cylinder 1. Thereby, the hexagonal column portion 7 is inserted into the outer cylinder 1 by holding the flange portion 8 with fingers and inserting the hexagonal column portion 7 from the one end opening of the outer cylinder 1 and pushing the flange portion 8 into contact with the one end portion. Insert into.

  A locking projection 9 is formed at a portion corresponding to the locking groove 6 of the outer cylinder 1 at the ridge line portion corresponding to the vertex of the hexagon of the hexagonal column portion 6. As a result, when the hexagonal column portion 7 of the inner case 2 is fitted and inserted into the outer cylinder 1, the locking protrusion 9 is locked in the locking groove 6, and the inner case 2 can easily come out of the outer cylinder 1. Is prevented. Further, since the inner case 2 is made of resin, from the state where the hexagonal column portion 7 is fitted and inserted into the outer cylinder 1, the locking projection 9 is The inner case 2 can be extracted from the outer cylinder 1 by being detached from the locking groove 6.

  The inner case 2 is formed so as to be split along the longitudinal direction. That is, the hexagonal column portion 7 is divided along two ridge lines between the upper two wall surfaces and the other four wall surfaces in the figure among the six wall surfaces. When the dechlorinating agent is taken in and out, the inner case 2 may be extracted from the outer cylinder 1 and divided. By inserting and inserting the hexagonal column portion 7 of the inner case 2 containing the dechlorinating agent into the outer cylinder 2, it does not open, so there is no fear that the dechlorinating agent will spill out.

  In the inner case 2, mesh openings 3 through which water flows are formed on six wall surfaces sandwiched between ridge lines that are peripheral walls of the hexagonal column portion 7. Thereby, when the inner case 2 in which the dechlorinating agent is accommodated is inserted into the water to be activated while being inserted into the outer cylinder 1, the outer cylinder 1 is inserted into the outer cylinder 1 from the circulation window 5 or the end opening. The water that has flowed in passes through the gap formed between the inner surface of the outer cylinder 1 and the wall surface of the hexagonal column portion 7, flows into the inner case 2 from the mesh opening 3 on the wall surface, and contacts the dechlorinating agent.

  Further, the internal space of the inner case 2 is partitioned into a plurality (three in this example) of storage spaces 4 by the partition wall 10, and the mesh openings 3 are provided corresponding to the respective storage spaces 4. . By this. Water that has passed through the mesh opening 3 comes into contact with a dechlorinating agent or the like housed in each housing space 4. Moreover, not only a dechlorination agent but water purification agents and activators such as ceramic grains and activated carbon that activate water can be accommodated and used.

  In this example, an example in which the inner space of the inner case 2 is partitioned into three housing spaces 4 is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be partitioned into two housing spaces 4, or four or more. You may make it partition into the accommodation space 4. Preferably, the inside of the inner case 2 is equally divided into four housing spaces 4, two of which contain a dechlorinating agent, one of which contains activated carbon, one of which contains active water, that is, far infrared rays. It is preferable to accommodate the radiating ceramics.

  As a dechlorinating agent accommodated in the inner case 2, for example, calcium sulfite can be used. A general water supply contains a chlorine-based disinfectant / disinfectant, which is effective against bacteria and is a main source of deteriorating the taste of drinking water. Calcium sulfite reacts with residual chlorine contained in tap water to produce harmless chloride and sulfate ions, reducing residual chlorine, which is said to be harmful, and improving the deterioration of the taste of drinking water And the taste is mellow. Residual chlorine is said to generate trihalomethane, and generation of trihalomethane can be suppressed if the residual chlorine can be removed by the above-described purifier.

  Further, activated carbon adsorbs residual chlorine and odor components such as mold odor and ammonia mixed in water, turbid components, iron rust, and the like in pores essentially provided in the activated carbon. Moreover, ceramics have an active water action by the action of far infrared rays. Ceramics can be mixed with powders of antibacterial metals such as silver, copper, and zinc so as to exhibit antibacterial action.

  In addition, the said dechlorinating agent, activated carbon, and ceramics use a granular thing so that it may not fall down from the clearance gap of the mesh opening 3. FIG. Moreover, although the magnitude | size of the outer cylinder 1 and the inner side case 2 is not specifically limited, In this embodiment, about 100-150 mm in length and about 10-15 mm in outer diameter were set.

  And the said simple water heater is comprised so that the inner case 1 in which the dechlorinating agent was accommodated may be thrown into the water made into the active water object in the state inserted by the outer cylinder 1. FIG. For example, by putting the above simple water heater into a plastic bottle filled with water, the water in the plastic bottle is purified and activated, or the water filled in the cup is mixed with a mudler to purify and activate the water. can do.

  As described above, in the simple water heater of the present embodiment, at least the surface layer portion of the outer cylinder 1 is formed of ceramics that radiates far infrared rays, and the inner case containing the dechlorinating agent is inserted into the outer cylinder. Since it is put into the water to be the target of active water in the state, effective water purification and the active water effect can be obtained not only by the water purification action by the dechlorinating agent but also by the water activation action by ceramics that emits far infrared rays. The ceramics can directly radiate far-infrared rays to water, effectively vibrate water molecules, and subdivide hydrogen bond groups (clusters) of water molecules. In addition, since the surface layer portion is formed of ceramics, it is excellent in scratch strength and the like and hardly damaged, and is not easily attacked by acid or alkali, and is excellent in durability for long-term use. Further, since the granular dechlorinating agent is accommodated inside the inner case 2 and the mesh opening 3 through which the water is circulated is formed on the peripheral wall, the dechlorinating agent effectively comes into contact with water and the residual chlorine in the water Is effectively removed. Moreover, since the inner case 2 is formed so as to be separable, when the dechlorination effect of the dechlorinating agent is reduced, the internal dechlorinating agent can be replaced with a new one and used repeatedly as a new product. It becomes.

  The inner case 2 is formed so as to be split along the longitudinal direction, the internal space is partitioned into a plurality of storage spaces 4, and the mesh openings 3 are provided corresponding to the plurality of storage spaces 4. Therefore, it is possible to store and use water purification agents and activators other than dechlorinating agents such as ceramic particles and activated carbon that activate water in a plurality of housing spaces 4, and more effective water purification and active water. The effect can be obtained.

  Further, the inner case 2 is formed of a hexagonal column portion 7 whose ridgeline is inscribed in the inner surface of the outer cylinder, and a flange portion 8 formed at the end of the hexagonal column portion 7, and is sandwiched between the ridgelines of the hexagonal column portion 7. Since the mesh opening 3 is formed in the wall surface, when the inner case 2 in which the dechlorinating agent is accommodated is inserted into the outer cylinder 1 while being inserted into the outer cylinder 1, Water flowing into the outer cylinder 1 from the distribution window 5 or the end opening passes through a gap formed between the inner surface of the outer cylinder and the wall surface of the hexagonal column portion 7, and enters the inner case 2 from the mesh opening 3 on the wall surface. In contact with the dechlorinating agent. Further, when flowing through the gap between the inner surface of the outer cylinder 1 and the wall surface of the hexagonal column portion 7, it is activated by the action of ceramics. Thus, the dechlorinating agent or ceramics can be effectively brought into contact with water, and purified water and active water can be efficiently performed.

  1 and 2 accommodated 8.5 g of granular calcium sulfite, 4 g of activated carbon, and 17 g of antibacterial ceramics as a dechlorinating agent (diameter 18.5 mm × length 102 mm). When tap water was used as raw water and the oxidation-reduction potential before activation was measured, it was 547 mV. The oxidation-reduction potential was measured 3 minutes after immersing the above-mentioned water heater, and it was lowered to 203 mV. Similarly, when the amount of dissolved oxygen before and after the active water was measured, it was 2.07 mg / L before the active water treatment, but increased to 2.85 mg / L after the active water treatment.

It is a disassembled perspective view which shows the simple water heater of one Embodiment of this invention. (A) is sectional drawing which shows an outer cylinder, (B) is a side view which shows an inner side case, (C) is sectional drawing which shows an inner side case.
