Description

  The present invention relates to a water treatment device for purifying water.

  Conventionally, a so-called “one-pass” water treatment apparatus has been used. This one-pass type water treatment apparatus is a unit in which a plurality of units such as a filtration (including membrane treatment) unit, an adsorption (activated carbon) unit, a sterilization unit, and an oxidant unit are connected in series. The combination of the plurality of units is selected according to the quality of untreated raw water and the characteristics required for the treated water. According to the one-pass water treatment device, a large unit and a small unit can be combined as necessary. Therefore, the design of the water treatment device is easy.

  In the above-mentioned conventional “one-pass type” water treatment apparatus, as the name suggests, the water to be treated passes only once through a plurality of units connected in series. Therefore, the one-pass type water treatment device must have a treatment capacity capable of completely purifying the whole treated water while the treated water passes through a plurality of units once. That is, the one-pass type water treatment apparatus is required to have a large treatment capacity corresponding to the large flow rate when treating the water to be treated having a large flow rate. Therefore, the occupation area of the one-pass type water treatment device becomes large as a whole.

  Conventional one-pass water treatment apparatuses are disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 below.

  Hereinafter, a water treatment apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  Hereinafter, in each embodiment, the structure to which the same referential mark is attached | subjects shall perform the same function. With respect to the parts denoted by the same reference numerals, the same functions as those described in the above embodiments are not repeatedly described in the embodiments described later. In the embodiment described later, differences from the above-described embodiment are mainly described.

(Embodiment 1)
(Overall configuration of water treatment equipment)
The water treatment device 8 according to the embodiment is installed in the middle of a path of a water supply system that supplies water from a public water main or well 100 to a faucet 400 such as a house. The raw water of the public water main or well 100 is supplied to the water treatment device 8 by a pump Pin. The water treated by the water treatment device 8 is supplied to a faucet 400 such as a house by a pump Pout. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the pumps Pin and Pout and the surrounding introduction flow path 11 and discharge flow path 12 are not part of the water treatment device 8. However, the pumps Pin and Pout and the peripheral introduction flow path 11 and the discharge flow path 12 may be formed as a part of the water treatment device 8.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the water treatment device 8 of the present embodiment includes a storage tank 1, a filtration treatment channel 2, an introduction channel 11, a tap mechanism 54, and a lead-out channel 12. The water treatment device 8 is a small device having a generally rectangular parallelepiped shape with one side of about 30 cm to 40 cm. Since the water treatment device 8 of the present embodiment is designed on the assumption that it is installed in a house, it has such a size, but the size of the water treatment device 8 of the present invention is particularly large. It is not limited.

(Reservoir)
The storage tank 1 is a box that substantially forms a sealed space. The storage tank 1 temporarily stores filtered water. The storage tank 1 includes a filtration treatment flow path 2 connected to the introduction flow path 11. The storage tank 1 is connected to the outlet channel 12.

  The introduction channel 11 introduces unfiltered water from the outside of the storage tank 1 to the filtration treatment channel 2. A pump Pin and an opening / closing valve are connected to the introduction flow path 11. Therefore, when the pump Pin is driven with the open / close valve opened, unfiltered water is fed from the public water main or well 100 to the storage tank 1 via the introduction flow path 11.

  The outlet channel 12 is for leading the treated water from the storage tank 1 to the faucet 400 such as a house. The outlet channel 12 is provided at a position lower than the water surface WS of the filtered water in the storage tank 1, particularly at the lowermost part of the storage tank 1. A pump Pout and an on-off valve are connected to the outlet flow path 12. Therefore, when the pump Pout is driven with the opening / closing valve opened, the treated water is sent from the storage tank 1 to the water faucet 400 via the outlet channel 12.

  Although the overall configuration of the water treatment device 8 of the present embodiment is as described above, an ultraviolet sterilizer or chemical chlorine is injected into at least one of the inside and the outside of the storage tank 1 to further improve water quality. A machine may be provided. For the same reason, a reverse osmosis membrane, an ultrafiltration unit, a microfiltration unit, or the like may be provided in at least one of the inside and the outside of the storage tank 1.

(Filtration processing flow path)
As shown in FIG. 1, the filtration treatment flow path 2 is provided independently inside the storage tank 1. Therefore, according to the water treatment device 8 of the present embodiment, the occupied area can be reduced as compared with a one-pass water treatment device in which a plurality of units are connected in series. In the present embodiment, the filtration treatment flow path 2 has a U shape. Therefore, in the U-shaped flow path, water flows from the upper side to the lower side in one vertical flow path part, then flows through the lowermost part, and then, in the other vertical flow path part, Flows from bottom to top.

  The shape of the filtration processing channel of the present invention is not limited to a U shape. The filtration treatment channel of the present invention may be a channel that extends linearly from the outside to the inside of the water treatment apparatus. Moreover, the filtration treatment flow path of the present invention may be a flow path in which only an upward flow of the water treatment apparatus is generated. The filtration treatment channel of the present invention may have any shape as long as the introduced unfiltered water can be filtered.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, when the height of the water surface WS of the filtered water in the storage tank 1 rises, the filtration process flow path 2 is comprised so that it may sink gradually in the filtered water. Has been. The filtration processing flow path 2 includes an inflow side end Fin, an outflow side end Fout, and a filtration unit 22. The inflow side end Fin is provided at a position higher than the outflow side end Fout by a distance h. In other words, the outflow side end Fout is provided at a position lower than the inflow side end Fin by the distance h. Therefore, the backflow of water from the filtration processing channel 2 to the introduction channel 11 is suppressed. Moreover, the activated carbon 21 for exhaust ozone can be provided in the inflow side end Fin of the filtration process flow path 2 so that it may not contact the unfiltered water in the filtration process flow path 2.

  Unfiltered water flows from the introduction channel 11 into the filtration processing channel 2 via the inflow side end Fin. The filtration unit 22 is provided between the inflow side end Fin and the outflow side end Fout, and filters unfiltered water. More specifically, the filtration part 22 is provided in the other vertical flow path part of the U-shaped flow path, that is, the flow path in which the upward flow is generated. The filtered water flows out to the storage tank 1 from the opening at the outflow side end Fout of the filtration treatment channel 2.

(Tap mechanism)
As shown in FIG. 1, a part of the tap mechanism 54 is provided in the inflow side end Fin of the filtration processing channel 2. The tap mechanism 54 switches whether or not unfiltered water is introduced from the introduction channel 11 into the filtration processing channel 2 via the inflow side end Fin.

  The tap mechanism 54 is a so-called ball tap that is generally used in the present embodiment. When the height of the water surface WS of the filtered water in the storage tank 1 is lowered to some extent, the ball tap allows unfiltered water to be introduced from the introduction flow path 11 to the filtration treatment flow path 2. . Thereby, unfiltered water passes the filtration part 22 in the filtration process flow path 2. FIG. As a result, the filtered water flows out automatically and without power such as electricity from the opening of the outflow side end Fout of the filtration treatment channel 2 to the storage tank 1.

  When the height of the water surface WS of the filtered water is equal to or lower than a predetermined height lower than the height of the outflow side end Fout, the tap mechanism 54 causes unfiltered water to flow from the introduction flow path 11 to the filtration treatment flow path. 2 is changed to the state to be introduced. The reason why the tap mechanism 54 is configured as described above is that the filtered water in the storage tank 1 becomes higher than the outflow side end Fout so that the filtered water flows out from the outflow side. This is to prevent backflow from the end Fout to the filtration processing flow path 2.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the tap mechanism 54 includes a pneumatic ball 54f floating on the water surface, a transmission rod 54e connected to the ball 54f, and a blocking portion 54d attached to the tip of the transmission rod 54e. Yes. Further, the tap mechanism 54 includes an inflow pipe 54 b provided in the filtration processing channel 2 and connected to the introduction channel 11. The inflow pipe 54 b has an inlet 54 c through which unfiltered water that has flowed from the introduction flow path 11 flows into the filtration processing flow path 2.

  The closing part 54d closes or opens the inflow port 54c according to the vertical movement of the ball floating on the water surface WS. When the closed portion 54d changes from the state where the inlet 54c is closed to the state where the closed portion 54d opens the inlet 54c, unfiltered water flows from the inlet 54c into the filtration processing channel 2.

  However, if the tap mechanism 54 allows unfiltered water to flow into the filtration treatment channel 2 or not according to the height of the water surface WS of the filtered water in the storage tank 1, Any structure may be used. Further, a tap mechanism 54 and an electromagnetic valve that operates electrically may be used in combination for introducing unfiltered water into the filtration treatment channel 2.

  In the filtration processing channel 2, the area S2 of the channel in which the downward upward flow on the outflow side end Fout side is generated is larger than the area S1 of the channel in which the downward flow on the inflow side end Fin side is generated. That is, the area of the flat cross section of the flow path in which the downward flow that does not contribute to filtration is relatively small, and the area of the flat cross section of the flow path in which the upward flow that contributes to filtration is relatively large. Therefore, it is possible to increase the amount of water passing through the filtration unit 22 per unit time while reducing the occupied area of the filtration treatment channel 2 in plan view. That is, it is possible to improve the filtration processing capacity while reducing the size.

(Filtering section)
The filtration part 22 is provided between the inflow side end Fin and the outflow side end Fout of the filtration process flow path 2. The filtration part 22 may be provided in any position in the filtration treatment flow path 2 having a U-shape. However, in the filtration processing flow path 2 having a U-shape, the filtration unit 22 is preferably provided at a position closer to the outflow side end Fout than the inflow side end Fin. That is, it is preferable that the filtration process flow path 2 is comprised so that unfiltered water may pass the filtration part 22 toward upper side from the lower side. According to this, compared with the case where unfiltered water passes the filtration part 22 toward the lower side from the upper side, the filtration process time can be lengthened.

  Examples of the filter medium installed in the filtration unit 22 include sand or activated carbon, but any other filter medium having a filtering function may be used. As the sand, it is desirable to use sand having excellent ability to remove metal ions, such as filter media coated with manganese sand or iron oxide. Further, when activated carbon is used for a part or all of the filter medium, biological activated carbon is formed by utilizing the effect of supplying oxygen changed from ozone. Therefore, the filter 22 can exhibit functions such as organic matter removal.

  When many organic substances are mixed in unfiltered water, it is desirable to put activated carbon into the filtration unit 22 together with sand. This is because activated carbon can exhibit both its adsorption effect and purification effect by microorganisms attached to it. Further, when a large amount of manganese is mixed in unfiltered water, it is desirable to remove manganese by using manganese sand.

(Mechanism for sterilization of oxidation parts, etc.)
The filtration processing flow path 2 includes an oxidation unit 23 that mixes ozone into unfiltered water. The oxidation unit 23 has an ozone aeration function. Therefore, high-quality water containing ozone can be supplied to the faucet 400 of the house. In the upstream oxidation part 23, an ionic substance such as iron dissolved in unfiltered water is changed into a solid by being oxidized. In the downstream filtration unit 22, the solid is removed from the unfiltered water together with the turbid components of the unfiltered water. As a result, in the filtered water, ionic substances such as iron dissolved in the unfiltered water are reduced.

  Since the fine bubbles of ozone change into oxygen in the filtration treatment flow path 2, microorganisms that contribute to water purification are easily propagated in the filtration unit 22. The filtration unit 22 is disposed at a position downstream of the oxidation unit 23. Therefore, the oxidation part 23 can sterilize unfiltered water. The oxidation part 23 is provided in the lowest part of the filtration process flow path 2 which has U shape. Accordingly, the aerated ozone rises in each of the vertical flow path portion of the U-shaped flow path and the vertical flow path portion of the other method. Therefore, the sterilization process of the whole water in the filtration process flow path 2 is efficiently realized.

  The pump Pair is always driven when the water treatment device 8 is used. Therefore, the air sent out by the pump Pair passes through the ozone generator 300, and ozone is generated by the ozone generator 300. The ozone passes through the piping 31 and the piping 32 and the piping 33 branched from the piping 31, and reaches the oxidation portion 23 and the oxidation portion 13. As a result, the oxidation unit 23 performs ozone aeration on the unfiltered water in the filtration treatment channel 2. In addition, the oxidation unit 13 performs ozone aeration on the filtered water in the storage tank 1. Thereby, each of the unfiltered water in the filtration process flow path 2 and the filtered water in the storage tank 1 is sterilized.

  However, sterilization treatment by ultraviolet irradiation may be performed instead of ozone aeration. Moreover, it is not essential that the oxidation part 13 and the oxidation part 23 are provided in the filtration process flow path 2 and the storage tank 1, respectively. Neither the filtration treatment channel 2 nor the storage tank 1 has a function of performing a sterilization process, and a water tank that exhibits a sterilization function may be provided outside the water treatment apparatus 8 as another water tank. In other words, the water treatment device 8 may be one in which the filtration treatment flow path 2 has only a filtration function and the storage tank 1 has only a function of storing water.

  Although the oxidation part 23 and the oxidation part 13 will not be specifically limited if it has the capability to oxidize a dissolved metal, it has a function which can discharge | release ozone or a solid chlorine agent in water. Is desirable. However, from the viewpoint of ease of handling, it is most desirable that the oxidation unit 23 and the oxidation unit 13 can release ozone into water.

  Unfiltered water introduced into the filtration flow path 2 collides with ozone aerated at the bottom of the U shape. Therefore, ozone is easily mixed into unfiltered water and is easily changed to oxygen. The ozone that does not change to oxygen and remains in the unfiltered water reaches the inflow side end Fin of the filtration treatment channel 2 and the end on the storage tank 1 side. Activated carbon 21 for exhaust ozone is provided at the inflow side end Fin of the filtration treatment channel 2 and the end of the storage tank 1 side. Therefore, ozone is discharged to the outside and the space in the storage tank 1 in a state in which it is rendered harmless by the activated carbon 21 for exhaust ozone.

  In the present embodiment, unfiltered water is subjected to three treatments: sterilization with ozone, filtration with sand, and purification of water with microorganisms. Therefore, the filtered water is stored in the storage tank 1 in a state of being purified fairly well. The filtered water overflowing from the U-shaped outflow side end Fout is stored in an excess space in the storage tank 1. Since the filtered water in the storage tank 1 is sterilized by ozone, the occurrence of problems such as bacterial contamination in the storage tank 1 is suppressed. The exhaust ozone countermeasure for removing ozone from the filtered water in the storage tank 1 is realized by, for example, being configured so that the filtered water passes through activated carbon provided in the outlet channel 12. Yes.

(Mechanism for backwashing)
The water treatment device 8 includes a cleaning water flow path 52, a cleaning valve 53, a discharge flow path 4, and a discharge valve 5.

  The washing water channel 52 is branched from the introduction channel 11. Unfiltered water flows through the washing water channel 52. These are schematically depicted in FIG. The washing water channel 52 is used when unfiltered water is introduced as washing water from the outflow side end Fout into the filtration processing channel 2.

  A cleaning valve 53 is provided in the cleaning water channel 52. The cleaning valve 53 is opened and closed by an operator's operation, thereby opening and closing the cleaning water channel 52. That is, the cleaning valve 53 switches whether or not the cleaning water is introduced from the cleaning water flow path 52 to the outflow side end Fout. Therefore, the operator can perform the backflow cleaning of the filtration unit 22 only by operating the cleaning valve 53 and opening the cleaning water flow path 52.

  When backflow cleaning is performed on the filtration unit 22, the particle size of the filter medium such as sand in the filtration unit 22 is larger on the lower side and smaller on the upper side. The filtration part 22 of this Embodiment is an upward flow type sand filtration part. In the upward flow type sand filtration unit, water flows from a lower layer made of coarse sand, that is, coarse sand, to an upper layer made of small sand, that is, made of fine sand. Therefore, large foreign matters in water with high turbidity are captured by the lower layer with high particle size, and small foreign matters in water with low turbidity are captured by the upper layer with small particle size. For this reason, all the layers of the filtration part 22 function efficiently. In general, the upward flow type sand filtration unit has a slower increase in the loss head than the downward flow type sand filtration unit, and therefore the filtration time can be extended. Therefore, the frequency of cleaning the filtration unit 22 can be reduced. Moreover, the upward flow type sand filtration part has an advantage that clogging is hardly caused.

  The discharge flow path 4 is provided from the lowermost part of the filtration process flow path 2 to the external sludge collection tank 200 via the through hole of the storage tank 1. Therefore, the discharge flow path 4 guides the scum from the inside of the filtration treatment flow path 2 to the sludge collection tank 200 outside the storage tank 1 together with the washing water that has passed through the filtration unit 22. A discharge valve 5 is provided in the discharge flow path 4. The discharge valve 5 opens and closes the discharge flow path 4 by an operator's operation. That is, the discharge valve 5 switches whether or not the scum is discharged. Therefore, the operator can discharge the scum in the filtration processing flow path 2 only by operating the discharge valve 5.

  In the present embodiment, the washing water channel 52 is a branch channel branched from the introduction channel 11, and the washing water is unfiltered water flowing through the introduction channel 11. However, the washing water channel 52 is an independent channel provided separately from the introduction channel 11, and the washing water may be water different from unfiltered water.

  According to said structure, since the filtration process flow path 2 is provided in the storage tank 1, compared with the case where several units are connected in series, the occupation area of a one-pass-type water treatment apparatus is made small. can do.

(Embodiment 2)
The water treatment apparatus 8 of Embodiment 2 is demonstrated using FIG.

  The water treatment device 8 of the present embodiment is different from the water treatment device 8 of the first embodiment in that the oxidation unit 13 is replaced with an ultraviolet irradiation unit 14. The water treatment device 8 of the present embodiment is different from the water treatment device 8 of the first embodiment in that the ozone generated by the ozone generation unit 300 is guided only to the oxidation unit 23 via the pipe 31. Except for these points, the water treatment device 8 of the present embodiment has the same configuration as the water treatment device 8 of the first embodiment. The description of this same configuration will not be repeated.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the water treatment device 8 of the present embodiment, the storage tank 1 includes an ultraviolet irradiation unit 14 that irradiates the filtered water with ultraviolet rays. This also allows the filtered water to be sterilized. The ultraviolet irradiation unit 14 of the present embodiment is a so-called ultraviolet lamp, but a sterilizing device such as an ultraviolet lamp may be provided downstream of the pump Pout.

  Also with the above configuration, the area occupied by the one-pass water treatment device can be reduced as compared with the case where a plurality of units are connected in series.

(Embodiment 3)
The water treatment apparatus 8 of Embodiment 4 is demonstrated using FIG. 4 and FIG.

  The water treatment device 8 of the present embodiment is different from the tap mechanism 54 of the first embodiment in that a water level detection unit 60, an on-off valve 56, and a control unit 40 are provided. It differs from the processing device 8. Except for this point, the water treatment device 8 of the present embodiment has the same configuration as the water treatment device 8 of the first embodiment. The description of this same configuration will not be repeated. Hereinafter, differences between the water treatment device 8 of the present embodiment and the water treatment device 8 of the first embodiment will be mainly described.

 Specifically, the structure composed of the ball 54f, the transmission rod 54e, and the closing portion 54d shown in FIG. 2 is replaced with an on-off valve 56 made of an electromagnetic valve. The structure of the inflow pipe 54b and the inflow port 54c has the same structure as the structure shown in FIG. The on-off valve 56 is provided in the inflow pipe 54b shown in FIG. 2, and opens or closes the inflow port 54c. Also in the present embodiment, the washing water channel 52 is branched from the inflow pipe 54b or the introduction channel 11.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the water treatment device 8 includes a water level detection unit 60, an on-off valve 56, and a control unit 40. The water level detection unit 60 detects the height of the surface of the filtered water in the storage tank 1. The water level detection unit 60 has electrode bars 71, 72, 73 for detecting the water level. Therefore, the height of the water surface WS can be divided into three states. The three states are a state where the water surface WS is equal to or higher than the lower end (upper limit value) of the electrode rod 73, a state where the water surface WS is lower than the lower end (upper limit value) of the electrode rod 73 and the lower limit (lower limit value) of the electrode rod 72; The water surface is lower than the lower end (lower limit value) of the electrode rod 72.

  The on-off valve 56 switches whether or not unfiltered water is introduced from the introduction flow path 11 to the filtration treatment flow path 2. The control unit 40 opens or closes the on-off valve 56 based on the information on the height of the filtered water surface WS received from the water level detection unit 60.

  Specifically, when the height of the water surface WS of the filtered water is equal to or lower than a predetermined height lower than the height of the outflow side end Fout, the control unit 40 causes the unfiltered water to flow into the introduction channel 11. Then, the on-off valve 56 is changed to a state where it is introduced into the filtration processing flow path 2 via the inflow side end Fin.

  Specifically, when the height of the water surface WS of the filtered water in the storage tank 1 falls below the upper limit value, that is, when the control unit 40 becomes lower than the lower end of the electrode rod 73, the on-off valve 56 is opened. Thereby, unfiltered water flows into the filtration process flow path 2 from the outflow side edge part Fout. Further, the filtered water flows out from the outflow side end Fout of the filtration processing channel 2 into the storage tank 1. When the height WS of the filtered water in the storage tank 1 is equal to or higher than the upper limit, that is, when the height is the same as the lower end of the electrode rod 73 or higher than the lower end of the electrode rod 73 In addition, the control unit 40 closes the on-off valve 56. As a result, filtered water does not flow into the storage tank 1 from the opening at the outflow side end Fout of the filtration treatment channel 2. As a result, so-called reverse flow in which unfiltered water flows into the filtration treatment flow path 2 from the open port of the outflow side end Fout is prevented.

  When using the water level detection part 60 like this Embodiment, it becomes possible to also set the lower limit of the height of the water surface WS in the storage tank 1. FIG. Therefore, when the height of the water surface WS in the storage tank 1 is lower than the lower limit value, that is, when it is lower than the lower end of the electrode rod 72, a warning signal can be issued by sound or light. Furthermore, the pump Pair can be stopped so as to stop the aeration of ozone from the oxidation unit 13 and the oxidation unit 23.

  Also by the water treatment apparatus 8 of this Embodiment, the occupation area of the one-pass type water treatment apparatus 8 can be reduced compared with the case where a plurality of units are connected in series.

  Further, when the cleaning valve 53 is controlled so that the cleaning water is introduced from the cleaning water flow path 52 to the outflow side end Fout, the control unit 40 controls the discharge valve 5 so that the scum is discharged. Also with this configuration, the filtration unit 22 can be washed and the scum in the filtration treatment flow path 2 can be discharged.

  The water treatment by the control part 40 of the water treatment apparatus 8 of this Embodiment is demonstrated using the flowchart shown by FIG.

  In step S <b> 1, the control unit 40 acquires information on the water level of filtered water in the storage tank 1 from the water level detection unit 60. Next, in step S2, the control unit 40 determines whether or not the height of the water surface WS of the filtered water in the storage tank 1 is equal to or less than a predetermined value. The predetermined value is a predetermined height that is lower than the height of the opening of the outflow side end Fout. The reason why the predetermined value is set to such a value is to prevent the filtered water in the storage tank 1 from flowing backward from the open port of the outflow side end Fout to the filtration treatment channel 2. .

  In step S2, when it is determined that the height of the water surface WS of the filtered water in the storage tank 1, that is, the water level is equal to or lower than the predetermined value, the control unit 40 opens the on-off valve 56 in step S3. Thereby, unfiltered water is introduced from the introduction channel 11 to the inflow side end Fin. As a result, unfiltered water flows from the inflow side end Fin into the filtration treatment channel 2. Thereafter, filtration processing is performed on unfiltered water in the filtration unit 22. Furthermore, filtered water flows out into the storage tank 1 from the outflow side end Fout. Thereby, the water level of the filtered water rises in the storage tank 1. In step S3, if the on-off valve 56 has already been opened, that state is maintained.

  On the other hand, when the control unit 40 determines in step S2 that the height of the water surface WS of the filtered water in the storage tank 1, that is, the water level is larger than a predetermined value, the control unit 40 sets the on-off valve 56 in step S4. close up. Thereby, the introduction of unfiltered water from the introduction flow path 11 to the filtration treatment flow path 2 is stopped. As a result, the water level of the filtered water in the storage tank 1 does not become higher than the opening of the outflow side end Fout. Therefore, the so-called back flow in which the filtered water in the storage tank 1 flows into the filtration processing flow path 2 from the outflow side end Fout is prevented. In step S4, if the on-off valve 56 is already closed, that state is maintained.

  In step S5, the control unit 40 determines whether or not the backwash switch has been turned ON by the operator. In step S5, the controller 40 may determine that the backwash switch is not turned on by the operator. In this case, in step S6, the control unit 40 supplies the ozone from the oxidation unit 23 into the filtration processing flow path 2 and the pump Pair so as to supply ozone from the oxidation unit 13 into the storage tank 1. To control. Thereby, ozone is generated when the air sent out by the pump Pair passes through the ozone generator 300. The ozone reaches the oxidation part 23 and the oxidation part 13 from the pipe 31 through the pipe 32 and the pipe 33, respectively. In step S6, if the pump Pair is already turned on, the state is maintained.

  As a result, the oxidation unit 23 performs ozone aeration on the unfiltered water in the filtration treatment channel 2. In addition, the oxidation unit 13 performs ozone aeration on the filtered water in the storage tank 1. Thereby, sterilization is performed on the unfiltered water in the filtration treatment channel 2 and the filtered water in the storage tank 1. However, sterilization treatment by the ultraviolet irradiation unit 14 may be performed instead of ozone aeration.

  In step S5, when it is determined that the backflow cleaning switch is turned on by the operator, the control unit 40 stops the pump Pair in step S7. Thereby, supply of ozone from the oxidation unit 13 into the storage tank 1 is stopped. The oxidation unit 23 and the oxidation unit 13 both stop ozone aeration. In addition, the sterilization process by the ultraviolet irradiation unit 14 may be stopped instead of ozone aeration. In step S7, if the pump Pair has already been turned off, that state is maintained.

  Next, in step S <b> 8, the control unit 40 closes the on-off valve 56 or maintains the state where the on-off valve 56 is closed. In any case, the introduction of unfiltered water from the introduction channel 11 to the filtration treatment channel 2 is stopped. Thereafter, the control unit 40 opens the discharge valve 5 in step S9, and opens the cleaning valve 53 in step S10. Thus, the wash water that has passed through the wash water flow path 52 is supplied into the filtration treatment flow path 2 from the open port of the outflow side end Fout. The washing water flows back through the filtration treatment channel 2 from the opening of the outflow side end Fout through the filtration unit 22 to the lowest part. At this time, the scum in the filtration treatment channel 2 is discharged from the discharge channel 4 to the outside together with the cleaning water. Note that. In step S9, when the discharge valve 5 has already been opened and the cleaning valve 53 has been opened in step S10, the respective states are maintained.

  In step S10, the control unit 40 determines whether or not the backwash switch is turned off. In step S10, when it is determined that the backflow cleaning switch is not turned OFF, the control unit 40 repeats the backflow cleaning processing from step S7 to step S11. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S10 that the backflow cleaning switch is turned off, the control unit 40 repeats the processing from step S1 to step 6 until it is determined that the backflow cleaning switch is turned on next time.

Even with the above configuration, since the filtration treatment flow path 2 is provided in the storage tank 1, the occupation area of the one-pass type water treatment device is reduced as compared with the case where a plurality of units are connected in series. be able to.

Except for this point, the water treatment device 8 of the present embodiment has the same configuration as the water treatment device 8 of the first embodiment. The description of this same configuration will not be repeated. Hereinafter, differences between the water treatment device 8 of the present embodiment and the water treatment device 8 of the first embodiment will be mainly described.

Further, a suction pipe 97 having a suction port 90 </ b> A for sucking ozone staying in the space 900 is connected to the cylindrical portion 98 having a relatively small diameter.

  In the present embodiment, like the water treatment device 8 of the above-described embodiment, the oxidation unit 23 is provided at a position where ozone is guided toward the inflow side end Fin in the unfiltered water. Ozone is released from unfiltered water into the upper space 900 in the filtration treatment channel 2.
