An electrolyzed water spraying device that generates and sprays electrolyzed water containing hypochlorous acid by electrolysis in order to remove (including inactivation) bacteria, fungi, viruses, odors, etc. in the air is known. (Patent Document 1).

In the conventional electrolyzed water spraying device, in order to efficiently generate hypochlorous acid from the water stored in the water storage tray, the user is periodically drained from the water in the water storage tray, and then the water storage tray is discharged. The electrolysis-promoting tablets were replenished when water was supplied.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2008-29574

However, in the above-mentioned conventional electrolyzed water spraying device, it is necessary for the user to frequently drain the water in the water storage tray, which imposes a burden on the user. On the other hand, in consideration of user convenience, a method of supplying water to the water storage tray multiple times while reducing the frequency of drainage from the water storage tray can be considered. However, since the salt concentration decreases each time water supply is repeated, the concentration of hypochlorous acid produced also decreases, and as a result, the sterilization and deodorizing performance of the product may deteriorate.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electrolyzed water spraying device capable of stably realizing sterilization and deodorizing performance while improving user convenience. ..

The present invention is an electrolyzed water spraying device including an electrolyzed water generating unit for generating electrolyzed water and a spraying unit for spraying the electrolyzed water generated by the electrolyzed water generating unit. A water storage unit that does not have a function of draining water and stores water, a drainage display unit that displays that the water storage unit is urged to drain water, an electrolysis-promoting tablet charging unit that charges electrolysis-promoting tablets into the water storage unit, and an electrolysis-promoting tablet charging unit. It is provided with an electrolysis unit that electrolyzes water in the water storage unit into which the electrolysis-accelerated tablet is charged to generate electrolyzed water, and a control unit that controls the injection of the electrolysis-accelerated tablet by the electrolysis-accelerated tablet charging unit. The control unit includes an energization count unit that counts the energization time of the electrodes constituting the electrolysis unit, and a first energization time comparison unit that compares the energization time counted by the energization count unit with the energization time threshold A. A second energization time comparison unit that compares the energization time counted by the energization counting unit with the energization time threshold C is provided, and the energization time is the energization time threshold in the comparison result of the first energization time comparison unit. When A is exceeded, it is assumed that the predetermined charging period has passed, and the charging of the electrolysis-promoting tablet is instructed without draining. When C is exceeded, the drainage display unit indicates that drainage is urged, and after the display is completed, an electrolysis water spraying device or the like instructing the injection of the electrolysis-promoting tablet into the electrolysis-promoting tablet injection unit is used. To achieve.

According to the electrolyzed water spraying device of the present invention, the control unit instructs the electrolysis-accelerated tablet charging unit to charge the electrolyzed-accelerated tablets at predetermined charging periods. As a result, the electrolysis-promoting tablets are charged into the water storage unit at predetermined charging periods, so that active oxygen species can be stably generated by electrolysis. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the effect that the performance of sterilization and deodorization can be stably realized while improving the convenience of the user.

Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(First Embodiment)
First, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the electrolyzed water spraying device D, and is a view of the electrolyzed water spraying device D as viewed from the front side. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the electrolyzed water spraying device D, and is a view of the electrolyzed water spraying device D viewed from the front side with the panel 3 of FIG. 1 open.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the electrolyzed water spraying device D includes a substantially box-shaped main body case 1, and has substantially square-shaped intake ports 2 on both side surfaces of the main body case 1. An openable / closable air outlet 6 is provided on the top surface of the main body case 1. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the outlet 6 is in a closed state.

A panel 3 that can be opened and closed is provided on the first main body side surface 1A, which is the right side surface (one side side surface of the main body case 1) when viewed from the front side of the main body case 1. An intake port 2 on one side of the main body case 1 is provided on the panel 3. When the panel 3 is opened, a vertically long square-shaped opening 4 appears. The water storage unit 14, the water supply unit 15, the tablet charging case 18a, and the like, which will be described later, can be taken out from the opening 4.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the electrolyzed water spraying device D with the central portion in the front view cut in the vertical direction, and is a view of the electrolyzed water spraying device D viewed from the right side. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the electrolyzed water spraying device D with the right side in the front view cut in the vertical direction, and is a view seen from the right side of the electrolyzed water spraying device D. FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram showing the functions of the electrolyzed water spraying device D in blocks.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the main body case 1 is provided with an electrolyzed water generating unit 5, a water supply unit 15, a spraying unit 19, and an air passage 8. The electrolyzed water generating unit 5 includes a water storage unit 14, an electrolyzing unit 17, an electrolysis promoting tablet charging unit 18, and a control unit 30.

The water storage unit 14 has a box shape with an open top surface and has a structure capable of storing water. The water storage unit 14 is arranged in the lower part of the main body case 1, slides horizontally from the main body case 1, and can be attached to and detached from the main body case 1, and can be taken out from the opening 4. The water storage unit 14 stores water supplied from the water supply unit 15.

The electrolytic unit 17 includes an electrode member (not shown), and the electrode member is installed so as to be immersed in water in the water storage unit 14. By energizing the electrode member, the electrolyzing unit 17 electrochemically electrolyzes the water containing chloride ions in the water storage unit 14 to generate electrolyzed water containing an active oxygen species. Here, the active oxygen species are oxygen molecules having higher oxidative activity than ordinary oxygen and related substances. For example, active oxygen species include so-called narrow-sense active oxygen such as superoxide anion, singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical, and hydrogen peroxide, and so-called broad-sense active oxygen such as ozone and hypochlorous acid (hypochlorous acid). Is included.

The electrolyzing unit 17 has a plurality of one cycle, with one cycle being the energization time for energizing the electrode member for electrolysis and the time after the energization is stopped, that is, the non-energization time, which is the time during which the energization is not performed. By repeating this time, electrolyzed water is generated. The life of the electrode member can be extended by providing the electrode member with a non-energized time. If the energization time is lengthened with respect to the non-energization time, electrolyzed water containing a larger amount of active oxygen species is generated per cycle. Further, if the non-energized time is lengthened with respect to the energized time, the generation of active oxygen species per cycle can be suppressed. Further, if the amount of electric power during the energization time is increased, electrolyzed water containing a larger amount of active oxygen species is generated.

The electrolysis-accelerated tablet charging unit 18 includes a tablet charging case 18a, a tablet charging member (not shown) provided in the tablet charging case 18a, and a tablet charging cover 18b detachably provided on the upper part of the tablet charging case 18a. It has. The tablet loading case 18a is configured to be removable from the opening 4. The user can load the electrolysis-accelerated tablet into the tablet loading case 18a by removing the tablet loading cover 18b from the tablet loading case 18a taken out.

The electrolysis-accelerated tablet charging unit 18 rotates the tablet charging member when the control unit 30 instructs the electrolysis-promoted tablet to be charged. When the tablet loading member rotates, the electrolysis-promoting tablet falls into the water storage unit 14 through the drop opening (not shown) on the bottom surface of the tablet loading case 18a. The electrolysis-promoting tablet charging unit 18 determines the presence or absence of the electrolysis-promoting tablets dropped from the tablet charging case 18a into the water storage unit 14, and determines that the electrolysis-promoting tablets have fallen from the tablet charging case 18a into the water storage unit 14, and then charges the tablets. Stop the rotation of the member. When the electrolysis-promoting tablet dissolves in the water in the water storage unit 14, the water in the water storage unit 14 becomes water containing chloride ions. An example of an electrolysis-accelerated tablet is sodium chloride.

The control unit 30 controls the electrolysis of water by the electrolysis unit 17 and controls the injection of the electrolysis-accelerated tablet by the electrolysis-accelerated tablet charging unit 18. In particular, the control unit 30 determines whether a predetermined charging period for charging the electrolysis-promoting tablets has elapsed, and instructs the electrolysis-promoting tablet charging unit 18 to charge the electrolysis-promoting tablets at each predetermined charging period. The control unit 30 is provided, for example, on the back side of an operation panel provided on the top surface of the main body case 1 (see FIG. 1). Details of the control unit 30 will be described later with reference to FIG.

The water supply unit 15 is installed on the side surface on the right side of the front view inside the main body case 1, has a structure that can be attached to and detached from the water storage unit 14, and can be taken out from the opening 4. The water supply unit 15 is attached to a tank holding unit 14a provided on the bottom surface of the water storage unit 14. The water supply unit 15 includes a tank 15a for storing water and a lid 15b provided at an opening (not shown) of the tank 15a. An opening / closing portion (not shown) is provided in the center of the lid 15b, and when the opening / closing portion is opened, the water in the tank 15a is supplied to the water storage portion 14.

Specifically, when the water supply section 15 is attached to the tank holding section 14a of the water storage section 14 with the opening of the tank 15a facing downward, the opening / closing section is opened by the tank holding section 14a. That is, when the water supply unit 15 containing water is attached to the tank holding unit 14a, the opening / closing unit is opened to supply water to the water storage unit 14, and water is collected in the water storage unit 14. When the water level in the water storage unit 14 rises and reaches the lid 15b, the opening of the water supply unit 15 is sealed, so that the water supply is stopped, water remains inside the water supply unit 15, and the water level in the water storage unit 14 The water inside the tank 15a is supplied to the water storage unit 14 each time the water level drops. That is, the water level in the water storage unit 14 is kept constant.

The electrolyzed water spraying device D does not have to have the tank 15a as the water supply unit 15. In this case, the line for supplying water to the electrolytic water spraying device D is drawn from tap water, and when the water level in the water storage unit 14 drops, the water is supplied until the water level in the water storage unit 14 rises to a predetermined position. A water supply unit 15 for supplying water may be provided.

The spraying unit 19 includes a blowing unit 7 and a filter unit 16. The blower portion 7 is provided in the central portion of the main body case 1, and includes a motor portion 9, a fan portion 10 rotated by the motor portion 9, and a scroll-shaped casing portion 11 surrounding them. The motor portion 9 is fixed to the casing portion 11.

The fan portion 10 is a sirocco fan and is fixed to a rotating shaft 9a extending in the horizontal direction from the motor portion 9, and the motor portion 9 is fixed to the casing portion 11. The rotation shaft 9a of the motor unit 9 extends from the front side to the back side of the main body case 1. The casing portion 11 is provided with a discharge port 12 on the upper surface side of the main body case 1 of the casing portion 11, and has a suction port 13 on the back surface side of the main body case 1 of the casing portion 11. The air volume of the blower unit 7 is determined every unit time (for example, 5 minutes) of the air volume according to the temperature, humidity, and odor level of the gas. The amount of rotation of the motor unit 9 is controlled based on the determined air volume.

The filter unit 16 is a member that brings the electrolyzed water stored in the water storage unit 14 into contact with the indoor air that has flowed into the main body case 1 by the blower unit 7. The filter unit 16 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a filter 16a having a hole through which air can flow is arranged in the circumferential portion, and one end thereof is immersed in the electrolyzed water stored in the water storage unit 14 to retain water. In addition, the filter 16a is rotatably built in the water storage unit 14 with the central axis as the center of rotation. The filter unit 16 is rotated by a drive unit (not shown) to continuously bring the electrolyzed water and the room air into contact with each other.

The air passage 8 communicates the intake port 2 and the air outlet 6, and includes a filter unit 16, a blower unit 7, and an air outlet 6 in this order from the intake port 2. When the fan portion 10 is rotated by the motor portion 9, the external air sucked from the intake port 2 and entered into the air passage 8 is sequentially passed through the filter 16a, the blower portion 7, and the air outlet 6 to the electrolyzed water spraying device D. It is blown out to the outside of. As a result, the electrolyzed water generated in the water storage unit 14 is sprayed to the outside. The electrolyzed water spraying device D does not necessarily have to sprinkle the electrolyzed water itself, and even if it sprays the reactive oxygen species derived from the electrolyzed water (including volatilization) generated as a result, the electrolyzed water is sprayed. include.

FIG. 6A is a functional block diagram showing the functions of the electrolyzed water generating unit 5 in blocks. The control unit 30 includes an energization count unit 31 and a first energization time comparison unit 32. The energization counting unit 31 is composed of a counter that counts the energizing time X1 in which the electrode members constituting the electrolyzing unit 17 are energized. Specifically, the energization counting unit 31 counts the energizing time X1 to the electrode member since the electrolysis accelerating tablet was previously charged into the water storage unit 14.

Here, the input determination process executed by the control unit 30 will be described with reference to FIG. 6B. FIG. 6B is a flowchart showing this input determination process. The control unit 30 executes the input determination process every predetermined time (for example, 1 minute).

In this turn-on determination process, first, the energization time X1 counted by the energization counting unit 31 and the energization time threshold value A are compared (S1). The control unit 30 that executes the process of S1 constitutes the first energization time comparison unit 32. As a result of comparison of the processes of S1, when it is determined that the energization time X1 in which the electrode member is energized exceeds the energization time threshold A (X1> A) (S1: Yes), the input determination process is performed. Assuming that the predetermined charging period has passed, the electrolysis-promoting tablet charging unit 18 is instructed to load the electrolysis-promoting tablet (S2). Then, after the processing of S2, the input determination processing ends. On the other hand, as a result of the comparison of S1, when it is determined that the energization time X1 does not exceed the energization time threshold value A (X1 ≦ A), the process of S2 is skipped and the input determination process ends.

In the process of S1, when the energization time X1 becomes the energization time threshold value A or more (X1 ≧ A), it may be determined that the predetermined charging period has elapsed, and the energization time X1 is the energization time threshold value A. When (X1 = A) is reached, it may be determined that the predetermined charging period has elapsed.

As described above, in the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment, the energization time X1 of the electrode member of the electrolysis unit 17 is counted, and when the energization time X1 exceeds the energization time threshold A, the electrolysis promoting tablet charging unit 18 Is instructed to add electrolysis-promoting tablets. Therefore, every time the energization time X1 exceeds the energization time threshold value A, the electrolysis accelerating tablet is charged into the water storage unit 14. Therefore, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment can charge the electrolyzed promoting tablet to the water storage unit 14 at an appropriate timing with respect to the chloride ions consumed by electrolysis, so that the user can store water. Even if the part 14 is not drained, the active oxygen species can be stably produced by electrolysis. Therefore, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment can stably realize the performance of sterilization and deodorization while improving the convenience of the user.

Further, since the energization time X1 is the energization time of the electrode member, the amount of active oxygen species generated during that period can be specified. Therefore, by adjusting the energization time threshold A, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment is optimal with respect to the amount of active oxygen species generated by electrolysis and controlledly released into the environment. It is possible to put in the electrolysis-accelerated tablets at the timing.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 7. The electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the second embodiment determines whether or not a predetermined charging period has elapsed under conditions different from those of the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment.

Hereinafter, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the second embodiment will be described focusing on the differences from the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment. The same components as those of the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 7A is a functional block diagram showing the functions of the electrolyzed water generating unit 5 in the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the second embodiment in blocks. The water storage unit 14 includes a drought detection unit 14c that detects a drought in the water storage unit 14. The drought detection unit 14c detects that the inside of the water storage unit 14 is in a drought state when the water level in the water storage unit 14 becomes equal to or lower than a predetermined position. The detection of the drought detection unit 14c does not necessarily have to detect the state in which the water in the water storage unit 14 is completely exhausted. For example, the level at which one end of the filter 16a is not immersed in the water in the water storage unit 14. The state of becoming drought may be detected as a drought state.

The control unit 30 controls the display of the drainage display unit 20 provided in the electrolyzed water spraying device D. The drainage display unit 20 is arranged on a display unit provided on the top surface of the main body case 1 and displays to the user that the water storage unit 14 is urged to drain water by lighting, blinking, or the like.

The control unit 30 also includes an energization count unit 33, a drought count unit 34, a first energization time comparison unit 35, a second energization time comparison unit 36, and a drought frequency comparison unit 37.

The energization counting unit 33 is composed of a counter that counts the energizing times X2 and X3 of the control unit 30. Specifically, the energization count unit 33 has the energization time X2 to the control unit 30 since the last electrolysis promotion tablet was put into the water storage unit 14, and the control unit 30 since the previous drainage of the water storage unit 14 was performed. The energization time X3 is counted.

The drought counting unit 34 includes a counter that counts the number of drought states detected by the drought detecting unit 14c. Specifically, the drought counting unit 34 counts the number of times of drought state (number of droughts) X4 since the previous electrolysis promoting tablet was put into the water storage unit 14.

Here, the input determination process executed by the control unit 30 will be described with reference to FIG. 7B. FIG. 7B is a flowchart showing this input determination process. The control unit 30 executes the input determination process every predetermined time (for example, 1 minute).

In this input determination process, first, control is performed to generate and spray electrolyzed water with the air volume and electrolysis intensity setting set by the user (S11), and then the energization time counted by the energization counting unit 33 (water storage unit 14). The energization time X3 to the control unit 30 after the drainage is performed is compared with the energization time threshold value C (S12). The control unit 30 that executes the process of S12 constitutes the second energization time comparison unit 36.

As a result of comparison of the treatments of S12, when it is determined that the energization time X3 exceeds the energization time threshold C (X3> C) (S12: Yes), the generation and spraying of electrolyzed water is stopped in the input determination processing. Then, the drainage display unit 20 displays to the effect that drainage is urged (S13). The display is continued until the water storage unit 14 is drained, and after the drainage is performed, the display is terminated.

To determine whether the water storage unit 14 has been drained, for example, a sensor capable of detecting attachment / detachment of the water storage unit 14 from the main body case 1 is provided, and the water storage unit 14 is once removed from the main body case 1 and then reattached. When this is done, if the drought detection unit 14c is in a drought state in the water storage unit 14, it may be determined that the water storage unit 14 has been drained. Further, it may be determined that the electrolyzed water spraying device D is provided with an operation button that is operated when the user drains the water, and when the operation button is operated, it is determined that the water storage unit 14 has been drained.

After the display to the effect that drainage is urged by the drainage display unit 20 is completed by the process of S13, in the charging determination process, the electrolysis-promoting tablet charging unit 18 is instructed to load the electrolysis-promoting tablet (S16). As a result, when the energization time to the control unit 30 (that is, the energization time of the power supply of the electrolyzed water spraying device D) X3 exceeds the energization time threshold C, the user is urged to drain the water storage unit 14 to the water storage unit. The water of 14 can be replaced with clean water, and the electrolysis-promoting tablets can be automatically added to the replaced water. Therefore, it is possible to optimally generate active oxygen species.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the energization time X3 does not exceed the energization time threshold value C (X3 ≦ C) as a result of comparing the processes of S12 (S12: No), the energization count unit is then subjected to the on-off determination process. The energization time counted by 33 (the energization time to the control unit 30 since the previous electrolysis accelerating tablet was put into the water storage unit 14) X2 is compared with the energization time threshold value B (S14). The control unit 30 that executes the process of S14 constitutes the first energization time comparison unit 35.

As a result of comparison of the processes of S14, when it is determined that the energization time X2 exceeds the energization time threshold value B (X2> B) (S14: Yes), in the input determination process, the predetermined input period has elapsed. As a result, the process proceeds to S16, and the electrolysis-accelerated tablet charging unit 18 is instructed to charge the electrolysis-accelerated tablet.

As a result, every time the energization time X2 to the control unit 30 exceeds the energization time threshold value B, the electrolysis promoting tablet is charged into the water storage unit 14. Therefore, in the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the second embodiment, the electrolyzed water spraying device D consumed by electrolysis can be charged into the water storage unit 14 at an appropriate timing, so that the user does not drain the water storage unit 14. However, it is possible to stably generate active oxygen species by electrolysis.

Further, since the energizing time X2 is the energizing time to the control unit 30, that is, the energizing time of the power supply to the electrolyzed water spraying device D, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the second embodiment sets the energizing time threshold B. By adjusting, it is possible to put in the electrolysis-accelerated tablets at the optimum timing in consideration of the fact that the chloride ions in the water storage unit 14 are naturally attenuated by sunlight or the like. Further, by setting the energization time threshold value B to a threshold value smaller than the energization time threshold value C, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the second embodiment drains the water storage unit 14 and then drains the water. Until then, the concentration of chloride ions in the water storage unit 14 can be stabilized. Therefore, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the second embodiment can stably realize the performance of sterilization and deodorization while improving the convenience of the user.

As a result of comparison of the treatments in S14, when it is determined that the energization time X2 does not exceed the energization time threshold value B (X2 ≦ B) (S12: No), in the input determination processing, the drought counting unit 34 is next. The number of times of drought X4 in which the counted water storage unit 14 is in a drought state is compared with the number of times of drought threshold value E (S15). The control unit 30 that executes the process of S15 constitutes the drought frequency comparison unit 37.

As a result of comparison of the treatments in S15, when it is determined that the number of droughts X4 exceeds the threshold E for the number of droughts (X4> E) (S15: Yes), in the input determination process, the predetermined input period has elapsed. As a result, the process proceeds to S16, and the electrolysis-promoting tablet charging unit 18 is instructed to charge the electrolysis-promoting tablet.

As a result, every time the drought frequency X4 of the water storage unit 14 exceeds the drought frequency threshold value E, the electrolysis promoting tablet is charged into the water storage unit 14. Therefore, in the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the second embodiment, the electrolyzed water spraying device D consumed by electrolysis can be charged into the water storage unit 14 at an appropriate timing, so that the user does not drain the water storage unit 14. However, it is possible to stably generate active oxygen species by electrolysis.

Further, in the electrolyzed water spraying device D, the amount of electrolyzed water to be sprayed may be different depending on the user's usage environment (temperature, humidity, air volume of the blower unit 7, etc.), and as a result, the water in the water storage unit 14 is water. The amount of consumption will also be different. By counting the number of droughts X4, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the second embodiment is optimal in consideration of the amount of water consumed that differs depending on the user's usage environment (temperature, humidity, air volume of the blower unit 7, etc.). It is possible to put in the electrolysis-accelerated tablets at various timings.

As a result of comparison of the processes of S15, it is determined by the user that the number of droughts X4 does not exceed the threshold E of the number of droughts (X4 ≦ E), and after the process of S16 is completed, the input determination process is set by the user. The electrolyzed water is controlled to be generated and sprayed by setting the air volume and the electrolysis strength (S17), and then the charging determination process is completed.

In the process of S12, when the energization time X3 becomes equal to or greater than the energization time threshold value C (X3 ≧ C), the process may be shifted to the process of S13, or the energization time X3 reaches the energization time threshold value C (X3). = C) In this case, the process may be shifted to S13. Further, in the processing of S14, when the energizing time X2 becomes equal to or greater than the energizing time threshold value B (X2 ≧ B), the process may be shifted to the processing of S16 assuming that the predetermined charging period has elapsed, or the energizing time X2 may be set. When the energization time threshold value B is reached (X2 = B), the process may shift to S16. Further, in the treatment of S15, when the number of droughts X4 becomes equal to or higher than the threshold E of the number of droughts (X4 ≧ E), the process may be shifted to the treatment of S16 assuming that the predetermined charging period has elapsed, or the number of droughts X4 may be set. When the drought frequency threshold value E is reached (X4 = E), the process may proceed to S16.

(Third Embodiment)
Next, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the third embodiment also determines whether a predetermined charging period has elapsed under conditions different from those of the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment.

Hereinafter, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the third embodiment will be described focusing on the differences from the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment. The same components as those of the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram showing the functions of the electrolyzed water generating unit 5 in the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the third embodiment in blocks. The water storage unit 14 includes a water supply amount detecting unit 14d. The water supply amount detection unit 14d measures the weight of the water supply unit 15 (tank 15a) attached to the water storage unit 14, and based on the amount of change in the weight, the water supply amount X5 from the water supply unit 15 to the water storage unit 14. Is detected. When the water supply unit 15 is composed of a line that supplies tap water to the water storage unit 14, the water supply amount detection unit 14d sends the water supply unit 14 to the water storage unit 14 based on the measurement result of the flow meter that measures the flow rate in the line. The water supply amount X5 may be detected.

The control unit 30 includes a water supply amount comparison unit 39. The water supply amount comparison unit 39 compares the water supply amount X5 detected by the water supply amount detection unit 14d with the water supply amount threshold value F. Then, in the comparison result of the water supply amount comparison unit 39, when the water supply amount X5 exceeds the water supply amount threshold value F (X5> F), the control unit 30 considers that the predetermined charging period has elapsed and inputs the electrolysis-promoting tablet. Instruct the part 18 to put in the electrolysis-promoting tablet.

As a result, every time the amount of water supplied to the water storage unit 14 X5 exceeds the water supply amount threshold value F, the electrolysis-promoting tablet is charged into the water storage unit 14. Therefore, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the third embodiment supplies water to the electrolyzed water produced by one electrolysis-promoting tablet by detecting, for example, the amount of water supplied to one electrolysis-promoting tablet. In consideration of the decrease in concentration due to the increase in the amount, the electrolysis-promoting tablet can be charged into the water storage unit 14 at the optimum timing. Therefore, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the third embodiment can stably generate active oxygen species by electrolysis.

In addition, in the water supply amount comparison unit 39, when the water supply amount X5 becomes the water supply amount threshold value F or more (X5 ≧ F), it may be determined that the predetermined charging period has passed, and the water supply amount X5 is the water supply amount. When the threshold value F is reached (X5 = F), it may be determined that the predetermined charging period has elapsed.

(Fourth Embodiment)
Next, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the fourth embodiment also determines whether a predetermined charging period has elapsed under conditions different from those of the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment.

Hereinafter, the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the fourth embodiment will be described focusing on the differences from the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment. The same components as those of the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 9 is a functional block diagram showing the functions of the electrolyzed water generating unit 5 in the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the fourth embodiment in blocks. The water storage unit 14 includes a conductivity detection unit 14e. The conductivity detection unit 14e detects the conductivity X6 of the water in the water storage unit 14.

The control unit 30 includes a conductivity comparison unit 40. The conductivity comparison unit 40 compares the conductivity X6 detected by the conductivity detection unit 14e with the conductivity threshold value G. Then, in the comparison result of the conductivity comparison unit 40, when the conductivity X6 is lower than the conductivity threshold value G (X6 <F), the control unit 30 assumes that the predetermined charging period has elapsed, and the electrolysis-promoting tablet is charged. Instruct the part 18 to put the electrolysis-promoting tablet.

If the conductivity X6 in the water storage unit 14 is too low, it becomes close to pure water, electrolysis does not proceed, and a desired amount of active oxygen species cannot be generated. The electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the fourth embodiment is electrolyzed by grasping the conductivity X6 of water in the water storage unit 14 and charging the electrolyzed promoting tablets at the optimum timing based on the conductivity X6. The production of active oxygen species can be performed stably.

In the conductivity comparison unit 40, when the conductivity X6 becomes the conductivity threshold value G or less (X6 ≦ G), it may be determined that the predetermined charging period has passed, and the conductivity X6 is the conductivity. When the threshold value G is reached (X6 = G), it may be determined that the predetermined charging period has elapsed.

Although the present invention has been described above based on the embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and it is easy to make various improvements and modifications within a range that does not deviate from the gist of the present invention. It can be inferred. For example, each embodiment is provided by adding a part or a plurality of parts of the configuration of another embodiment to the embodiment or exchanging a part or a plurality of parts of the structure of the embodiment with each other. The embodiment may be modified to form the configuration. Further, the numerical values given in each of the above embodiments are examples, and it is naturally possible to adopt other numerical values.

As an example, the energization counting unit 33 of the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the second embodiment may be replaced with the energizing counting unit 31 of the electrolyzed water spraying device D according to the first embodiment. Then, the energization counting unit 31 counts the energizing time to the electrode member after the previous electrolysis promoting tablet was put into the water storage unit 14 as the energizing time X2, and the drainage of the previous water storage unit 14 is set as the energizing time X3. You may want to count the energization time to the electrode member after it is done.

The electrolyzed water spraying device according to the present invention is useful as an electrolyzed water spraying device for removing (including inactivating) bacteria, fungi, viruses, odors, etc. in the air.
