Conventionally, there has been known an electrolyzed water generator which is provided with an electrolytic cell having an anode chamber and a cathode chamber partitioned by a solid polymer electrolyte membrane and electrolyzes raw water flowing into the electrolytic cell.

In the cathode chamber of the electrolyzed water generator, electrolyzed hydrogen water in which hydrogen gas is dissolved is generated. Further, in recent years, dissolved hydrogen water generated by an electrolyzed water generator has attracted attention as being suitable for reducing oxidative stress in patients by removing active oxygen generated during hemodialysis treatment (for example, patent). Reference 1). Hemodialysis using electrolyzed water is called electrolyzed water dialysis.

In electrolyzed water dialysis in a large hospital, there is a demand for an electrolyzed water generator having an enhanced supply capacity of electrolyzed hydrogen water in order to enable treatment of a large number of patients at the same time. Such an electrolyzed water generator can be realized by providing a large-capacity electrolyzed water generating unit.

However, the large-capacity electrolyzed water generator increases the size of the electrolyzed water generator, and it becomes difficult to secure the installation space for the electrolyzed water generator. Further, an electrolyzed water generator having a new structure capable of easily protecting a high-output power supply unit for supplying electric power to a large-capacity electrolyzed water generating unit from water leakage or the like is expected.

The electrolyzed water generating unit 4 is fixed to the main body frame 2 so as to be closer to the first side portion 25 side of the main body frame 2. The above-mentioned "close to the first side portion 25 side" means that the center of the electrolyzed water generating portion 4 is offset to the first side portion 25 side from the center of the main body frame 2. As a result, the electrolyzed water generating unit 4 is integrated on the first side portion 25 side, and the large-capacity electrolyzed water generating unit 4 can be compactly housed inside the main body frame 2.

Further, the electrolytic unit 41 is easily replaced by pushing the new electrolytic unit 41 along the cross member 22.

The electrolytic cell 43 has, for example, the same configuration as that disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-159237. That is, a feeder is arranged in each of the anode chamber and the cathode chamber of the electrolytic cell 43, and for the diaphragm, for example, a solid polymer electrolyte membrane made of a fluorine-based resin material having a sulfonic acid group is used, and the direction is vertical. It is formed in a long rectangular shape. As shown in FIG. 5, each electrolytic cell 43 is arranged in the second horizontal direction H2 (that is, the direction from the third side portion 27 side to the fourth side portion 28 side) along the first side portion 25. It is desirable to have. As a result, a large number of electrolytic cells 43 can be compactly accommodated in one electrolytic unit 41.

As a result, a large number of electrolytic units 41 can be compactly housed inside the main body frame 2 in combination with the electrolytic units 41 arranged in the vertical direction and the first horizontal direction H1 of the electrolyzed water generator 1 described above.

The electric cable 5 is brought closer to the third side 27 side or the fourth side 28 side of the second side space 29, that is, the corner region where the second side 26 and the third side 27 intersect. It is desirable that it is arranged in 29A (see FIG. 3) or in the corner region 29B (see FIG. 4) where the second side portion 26 and the fourth side portion 28 intersect. The above-mentioned "close to the third side 27 side or the fourth side 28 side" means that an aggregate of a plurality of power cables bundled appropriately is on the third side 27 side or the fourth side from the center of the main body frame 2. It means that it is offset to the side 28 side. As a result, leaks and the like due to water wetting of the electric cable 5 are suppressed.

FIG. 6 shows an enlarged view of the electrolysis unit 41 and its surroundings. The electric cable 5 of the present embodiment is divided into a cable 51 on the power supply unit 3 side and a cable 52 on the electrolyzed water generation unit 4 side.

The water that has passed through the pretreatment device 200 flows into the cathode chamber of each electrolytic cell 43 in sequence through the main water inlet pipes 61 and 61a and the sub water pipes 62a. One end of the sub water inlet pipe 62b branches from the main water inlet pipe 61b, and the other end is connected to the anode chamber of each electrolytic cell 43. The water that has passed through the pretreatment device 200 also flows into the anode chamber of each electrolytic cell 43 in sequence through the main water inlet pipes 6 and 161b and the sub water inlet pipe 62b.

It is desirable that the main water pipe 61b is provided with a throttle valve 61d. As a result, the water flowing into the anode chamber (that is, the water discharged as electrolytic oxygen water) is restricted, and the water can be effectively used. In this case, by making the main water pipe 61b smaller in diameter than the main water pipe 61a, it is possible to reduce the size and cost of the electrolyzed water generator 1.

The main water pipe 61a includes a main water pipe 61c extending in the vertical direction. The main water inlet pipe 61c on the cathode side has a larger diameter than the main water outlet pipe 71b on the anode side. It is desirable that the main water pipe 71c portion is arranged in the second side portion side space 29 (see FIG. 3). In the present embodiment, the main water pipe 61c is arranged in the second side space 29.

As already described, since the electrolyzed water generation unit 4 is moved to the first side portion 25 side, it is possible to easily arrange the larger diameter main water inlet pipe 61c in the second side portion side space 29.

Further, in combination with the fact that the electric cable 5 is arranged closer to the third side portion 27 side or the fourth side portion 28 side, the corner region 29A and the corner region 29B of the second side space 29 The main water pipe 61c can be arranged in the sandwiched central region 29C. As a result, the electric cable 5 and the main water inlet pipe 61c can be arranged in an orderly manner in the second side space 29, and the electrolyzed water generator 1 can be miniaturized and maintainability can be improved. Since the main water pipe 61b on the anode side has a smaller diameter than the main water pipe 61c on the cathode side, it may be arranged in the space on the first side 25 side.

FIG. 8 shows the configuration of the water discharge pipe 7 inside the electrolyzed water generator 1. The water discharge pipe 7 has a main water pipe 71a and 71b and sub water pipes 72a and 72b having a diameter smaller than that of the main water pipes 71a and 71b.

On the other hand, the electrolyzed hydrogen water electrolyzed in the anode chamber of each electrolytic cell 43 is discharged through the sub water pipe 72b and the main water pipe 71b in this order.

The main water pipe 71a includes a main water pipe 71c extending in the vertical direction. The main drain pipe 71c through which the electrolyzed hydrogen water flows has a larger diameter than the main drain pipe 71b through which the electrolytic oxygen water flows. It is desirable that the main water pipe 71c is arranged in the second side space 29. In the present embodiment, since the electrolyzed water generating portion 4 is moved to the first side portion 25 side, it is possible to easily arrange the main water discharge pipe 71c having a larger diameter in the second side portion side space 29. .. Further, in combination with the fact that the electric cable 5 is arranged closer to the third side portion 27 side or the fourth side portion 28 side, the main water pipe 71c is arranged in the central region 29C of the second side portion side space 29. Can be done. As a result, the electric cable 5 and the main water pipe 71c can be arranged in an orderly manner in the second side space 29, and the electrolyzed water generator 1 can be miniaturized and maintainability can be improved.
