Abstract

To supply hard hydrogen water at low cost by adding minerals and hydrogen to tap water or the like. A hardness reformer 11 is placed in the water of a water storage tank. A magnesium supply source 16 and a calcium supply source 17 are sealed in the hardness reformer 11. When water enters the hardness reformer 11, it reacts with metal magnesium particles in the magnesium supply source 16, and hydrogen gas. And produces magnesium hydroxide. Calcium sulfate and chloride ions are generated from the calcium sulfite grains in the calcium source 17. Magnesium ions are dissolved from magnesium hydroxide, and calcium ions are dissolved from calcium sulfate. For example, with respect to tap water having a magnesium and calcium content of 55 mg / L, the calcium and magnesium content of water stored for 1 hour in a water storage tank containing the hardness reformer 11 is 272 mg / L, which is a high hardness. Drinking water containing hydrogen can be produced. [Selection] Figure 2

Description

  The present invention relates to a hard hydrogen water server for producing and supplying hard hydrogen water rich in minerals and hydrogen from tap water.

  General tap water is required to have sufficient sterilization and filtration of impurities, and since it is widely used as washing water, it is essential to remove excess mineral components.

  In addition, as shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, techniques for removing minerals to further soften tap water are also widely known.

  On the other hand, despite the fact that mineral intake is indispensable for the maintenance of human life, Japanese water is naturally soft water with low mineral content, and Japanese people consume minerals. Is said to be lacking. Therefore, in recent years, there is a concern about an increase in diseases caused by a shortage of mineral content.

  As mentioned above, Japan's water is mostly soft water with low mineral content, and natural mineral-rich drinking water is imported from foreign countries, mainly Europe, from mineral water packed in plastic bottles. . This mineral water has not only the good taste of mineral water, but also the purpose of preventing diseases such as poor physical condition and osteoporosis caused by lack of minerals.

  However, the mineral water described above is much more expensive than tap water, and in facilities such as caregivers that drink a large amount, hard water rich in minerals can be produced and supplied from tap water at a low cost. There is a need for a hard water supply machine that can be used.

  In addition, importing mineral water from abroad is not desirable from the viewpoint of global warming because it has a large environmental impact because it emits a large amount of carbon dioxide during transportation as well as transportation costs.

  Furthermore, plastic bottles are made of synthetic resin, that is, petroleum, which is not preferable from the viewpoint of resource protection. To aim for an environmental society, it is desired to reduce the use of plastic bottles and the like. .

  There is also a theory that hydrogen water in which hydrogen gas is dissolved is effective in removing active oxygen, reducing cerebral infarction and memory, and preventing cancer.

  The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and to easily add minerals to tap water, thereby reducing the environmental burden due to transportation, etc., and containing a substantial amount of minerals and containing hard hydrogen gas The object is to provide a hard hydrogen water server capable of producing and supplying hydrogen water at low cost.

  A hard hydrogen water server according to the present invention for achieving the above object has a water storage tank, and a hardness in which a magnesium supply source made of metal magnesium particles and a calcium supply source made of calcium sulfite particles are housed in the water storage tank. By introducing a reformer, a mineral component is added to the water in the water storage tank, the hard hydrogen water in which hydrogen is dissolved is reformed, and the hard hydrogen water is supplied.

  According to the hard hydrogen water server according to the present invention, hard hydrogen water can be produced and supplied at low cost by simply adding minerals and hydrogen to tap water which is soft water.

It is the schematic of a hard hydrogen water server. It is a disassembled perspective view of a hardness modifier.

The present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated embodiments.
FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a hard hydrogen water server in this embodiment. A synthetic resin water storage tank 3 having an opening 2 at the top and storing water W is placed on the upper part of the main body 1, and the opening 2 of the water storage tank 3 is closed by a lid 4. It has become. The water storage tank 3 is preferably made of a transparent or translucent material so that the amount of water stored in the internal water W can be easily seen.

  A hot water lever 5 and a cold water lever 6 that are water supply levers, a water supply port 7 that supplies hot water, and a water supply port 8 that supplies cold water are provided at the upper front of the main body 1, and a cup is supported at the lower front of the main body 1. A support base 9 is provided.

  In addition, a heater and a Peltier element (not shown) are built in the main body 1, and when the hot water lever 5 is pushed, the water W supplied from the water storage tank 3 is heated to about 85 ° C. by the heater and then supplied with water. Water is supplied from the mouth 7. Similarly, when the cold water lever 6 is pushed, the water W is supplied from the water supply port 8 after being cooled to 10 to 15 ° C. by the Peltier element. In the present embodiment, the above-described heating / cooling mechanism is provided, but it is not always necessary to provide these mechanisms.

  FIG. 2 shows an exploded perspective view of the hardness reformer charged into the water storage tank 3. A large number of slits 12 are formed on the side surface of the substantially short cylindrical hardness reformer 11 made of synthetic resin. A screw groove 13 is formed on the upper edge of the hardness reformer 11, and the lid member 14 is fixed by screwing with the screw groove 13.

  A large number of holes 15 are also formed in the upper surface of the lid member 14, and the slits 12 and the holes 15 in this embodiment may have other shapes.

  Usually, the hardness indicating the mineral content of drinking water is determined by the contents of magnesium and calcium, and therefore, in order to supply these mineral content, a magnesium supply source 16 and a calcium supply source 17 are provided in the hardness reformer 11. It is enclosed.

  In the present embodiment, the magnesium supply source 16 is filled with 100 g of metallic magnesium particles made of a square chip of 1 to 2 mm which is inexpensive and easily ionized in a resin fiber bag. Further, in the resin fiber bag of the magnesium supply source 16, 10 g of activated carbon particles with a diameter of less than 1 mm and 20 g of tourmaline particles with a diameter of 2 to 4 mm are encapsulated, and the activated carbon particles are free chlorine, trihalomethane, mold odor, Organic substances are adsorbed and removed, and tourmaline grains play a role in making water delicious.

  Further, in the calcium supply source 17, for example, 30 g of calcium sulfite particles having a diameter of about 1 mm are enclosed in a resin fiber bag.

  When supplying the hard hydrogen water, the magnesium supply source 16 and the calcium supply source 17 are placed in the hardness reformer 11, the lid member 14 is fixed via the screw groove 13, and then the lid portion 4 of the water storage tank 3 is attached. Open and feed through opening 2. Further, tap water or the like is supplied into the water storage tank 3 via a hose or the like, and when the amount of stored water decreases due to water supply, it is appropriately supplemented.

In the water storage tank 3, water W enters the inside from the slit 12 and the hole 15 of the hardness reformer 11, reacts with the metal magnesium particles sealed in the magnesium supply source 16 as follows, and hydrogen gas In addition, magnesium hydroxide is generated and partly dissolved as magnesium ions.
Mg + 2H ₂ O → Mg (OH) ₂ + H ₂ ↑

  A part of magnesium ions dissolved in the water W reacts with chlorine ions in tap water to produce magnesium chloride, which is used for removing chlorine odor. This magnesium chloride is also a bitter component and is not toxic.

  The hydrogen gas generated in the hardness reformer 11 escapes through the slit 12 and the hole 15 and accumulates in the water storage tank 3. In addition, by providing an opening 2 at the top of the water storage tank 3 and closing it with a simple lid 4, dust can be prevented from entering, and hydrogen gas in the water storage tank 3 can be removed to prevent an increase in internal pressure. ing. Further, a gas vent hole may be separately provided in the lid 4 and the water storage tank 3. Since the amount of hydrogen gas generated is very small, there is no danger of explosion.

  A part of the generated hydrogen gas dissolves in the water W, and the water W becomes hydrogen water containing hydrogen.

Although the solubility of calcium sulfite encapsulated in the calcium supply source 17 in water is extremely low, when it comes into contact with water, it reacts with hypochlorite ions, which are causative substances of the cache odor contained in tap water, as follows. As a result, hypochlorite ions are decomposed into chlorine ions, and calcium sulfite is oxidized to calcium sulfate.
ClO ⁻ + CaSO ₃ → CaSO ₄ + Cl ⁻

  The produced calcium sulfate is easily dissolved in water, and is dissolved into calcium ions to dissolve at a concentration suitable for hardening tap water. Further, since chlorine ions themselves do not emit a so-called chlorine odor, supply of calcium ions and removal of chlorine odor can be achieved at the same time.

  In this way, by introducing the hardness reformer 11 containing the magnesium supply source 16 and the calcium supply source 17 into the water storage tank 3 of the hard hydrogen water server in this embodiment, the water W in the water storage tank 3 is muted. Sineum and calcium ions dissolve.

  For example, with respect to tap water having a calcium and magnesium content of 55 mg / L, the calcium and magnesium content of water W stored in the water storage tank 3 for 1 hour is 272 mg / L, which is within the standards for drinking water. High hardness drinking water can be produced.

  Since the magnesium supply source 16 and the calcium supply source 17 have different lifetimes, in the present embodiment, they are separated for replacement according to their respective lifetimes. However, they can be put in one resin fiber bag.
