DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a potable water treatment apparatus provided with a cartridge for adding a health agent such as calcium to drinking water.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 3-102295, water to which a health agent is added by a health agent additive is electrolyzed by an electrolytic tank to produce alkaline ionized water. As shown in FIG. 4, most of the tanks are provided with inflow and outflow holes on the upper and lower sides of the tank, and a net-like health agent storage case is stored in the tank. In this case, since most of the water flowing into the tank passes around the storage case, there is a problem that the health agent is difficult to dissolve.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to enable a health agent to be efficiently dissolved with a relatively simple structure.

[0004]

According to the present invention, there is provided a cartridge provided with an additive addition cartridge in the middle of a flowing water channel. The cartridge is provided with an opening / closing port on an upper surface, a water supply port communicating with the flowing water channel on a bottom surface, and a side surface. A cylindrical outer case with a bottom provided with a connecting pipe connected to the water channel at the top, and a water supply that is removably housed in the outer case through an opening and closing port, and has an insertion port at the top and a water supply port at the bottom. It comprises an additive storage case provided with a hole, a drainage hole communicating with the connection pipe in the upper part of the side surface, and a lid for closing the opening / closing opening.

[0005]

[Function] Water flowing through the water channel flows into the outer case through the water supply port, and then flows into the additive storage case through the water supply hole.
It passes between the additives stored in the storage case, returns to the water channel through the drain hole-connection pipe, and adds the additive to the water flowing through the water channel.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1. (1) is a main body of an ionized water generator.
Cartridge for adding health agent (3), water purification cartridge
(4) An electrolytic cell (5) is sequentially arranged, and a water tap (8) is connected to a water supply pipe (6) of the cartridge (3) via a switching cock (7). Through the cartridge (3), the water purification cartridge (4), and the electrolytic cell (5), and discharge alkaline water, acidic water, and purified water from the outlet (9) and the drain (10) of the electrolytic cell as appropriate. It is configured to do so.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the cartridge (3) has an opening / closing port (11) on the upper surface and a water supply port (12) connected to the water supply pipe (6) on the bottom surface. ,
An outer case (14) to which a connecting pipe (13) connected to the water purification cartridge (4) is connected at the upper side, an opening (15) housed in the outer case, an opening (15) on the upper surface, and an inflow hole (16) ( 16), an inner case (18) having a bottomed cylindrical shape provided with an outflow hole (17) in the upper part of the side surface, and is removably housed in the inner case through the opening (15), and has an insertion hole (19) in the upper surface. ), A bottomed cylindrical additive storage case (22) having a water supply hole (20) (20) on the bottom surface and a drainage hole (21) on the upper side surface, and a lid for closing the opening / closing opening (11). (23).

In the drain hole (21) of the storage case (22),
A net (25) for preventing the outflow of additives (24) such as calcium glycerophosphate stored in the storage case is attached, and formed on the lower inner peripheral surface in the inner case (14) on the lower outer peripheral surface. Knurl groove (27) that meshes with the knurl groove (26)
As shown in FIG. 4, the overlapping area between the outflow hole (17) and the drain hole (21) is adjusted according to the engagement positions of these knurl grooves.

The lid (23) is provided with a projection (2
4) is engaged in a lock groove (not shown) formed in the opening / closing opening (11) of the outer case (14), and is rotated.
(11) The head (28) of the storage case (22) attached to the part
An insertion groove (29) for inserting the same is formed.

Further, (30) and (31) are provided between the opening / closing opening (11) and the lid (23), and the insertion groove (29) of the lid (23) and the head of the storage case (18).
(28) A packing for preventing water from leaking from the space.

The operation will be briefly described below. In FIG. 1, the switching cock (7) is switched to the generator body (1) to switch the faucet.
When (8) is opened, the amount of tap water corresponding to the opening of the faucet is supplied to the cartridge (3) through the water supply pipe (6) and the water purification cartridge.
(4) Water is supplied to the electrolytic cell (5) sequentially.

On the other hand, tap water flowing into the outer case (14) from the water supply pipe (6) through the water supply port (12) flows into the inner case (18) from the inflow holes (16) and (16). Water flows into the storage case (22) from the water supply holes (20) and (20), passes through the gap between the stored additives (24), and then drains (21)-outflow holes (17)-connection pipe (13). And water is supplied to the water purification cartridge (4) and the like.

For example, in the case of calcium glycerophosphate, the additive (24) is easily melted when the water temperature is low, and the degree of melting differs depending on the water quality.
By adjusting the meshing position of the knurl grooves (26) and (27) formed in the inner case (18) and the storage case (22), and adjusting the degree of overlap between the outflow hole (17) and the drain hole (21), The amount of the additive (24) can be easily adjusted.
Further, the amount of addition can be adjusted by adjusting the degree of overlap between the inflow hole and the water supply hole.

[0014]

According to the configuration of the present invention, tap water is reliably supplied into the storage case with a relatively simple configuration, and the additives such as calcium and other health agents stored in the storage case are averaged. Can be melted away. In particular, even if the water temperature changes, an appropriate amount of additive can be supplied depending on the degree of overlap between the outflow hole and the drain hole, and the inner case and storage case can be taken out separately by the three tank structure of the outer case, the inner case, and the storage case. Cleaning is easy.
