Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a water purifier particularly suitable for purifying city water for domestic use by filling granular materials such as granite porphyry, magnetite, active carbon, far-infrared radiation material, ion exchange resin, etc., in a shell type cartridge vessel made of porous filter medium. CONSTITUTION:In a vessel 1 made of porous filter medium granite porphyry 2, and magnetite 3 of rice grain size are filled, wherein, when required, granular active carbon 4, linestone 5, granular far-infrared radiation material 6, etc., can be used in combination with the former. A cover 7 is placed in the vessel 1 to form a cartridge 8. The cartridge 8 is put in a water purifier 9 and fixed thereto by means of a lid 10, whereby, when water is caused to flow from an inlet 11 to an outlet 12, the water is purified, activated and subjected to a mineral addition treatment while said water passes through the functional cartridge 8 packed with natural medicine 10. Further, the cartridge 8 can be used semipermanently by boiling it for cleaning. It is preferable that the vessel 1 be made of porous far-infrared radiation material or active carbon.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a water purifier containing natural medicinal stones for purifying and activating water such as tap water.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, due to its water purification effect, adsorption of metals, and elution of minerals, natural maifan stone has been used in granular or It is used in powder form, and its forms include those that sink to the bottom of a container, those that are placed in a net bag and suspended under water,
The treated water was placed in a tube with a mesh bottom and passed through it, and all of these devices were large and inconvenient, and there were no small and simple water purifiers that could be used with household taps.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

When Maifan stone is mixed with magnetite and used in combination, it not only further improves water purification power but also magnetizes and activates water.

These natural medicinal stones can be repeatedly used semi-permanently by boiling and washing, so in order to eliminate the above-mentioned inconvenience and promote their use, research is being conducted on methods of storing the medicinal stones in simple cartridges.

One example is the production of open-celled pumice-like bodies by granulating maifanite and magnetite and kneading, drying, and calcining them with clay and sawdust, but in reality, the sawdust completely disappears. To achieve this, it is necessary to heat the stone to nearly 1000°C, so in this high temperature range, not only does the magnetic force of the magnetite in the medicinal stone disappear and the magnetite loses its effectiveness, but also the clay adheres to the surface of the maifan stone. There is also a major drawback that the effect of Maifanseki is reduced.

The object of the present invention is to provide a water purifier in which natural medicinal stones are housed in a cart or container so that the natural medicinal stones can be used sufficiently effectively and easily, while eliminating the above-mentioned drawbacks.

[Means to solve the problem]

This problem can be solved by making a container out of a porous material and storing the natural medicinal stone in the form of granules.

[Structure and means of the invention]

The structure of this invention is basically that granular natural medicinal stones such as maifan stone, magnetite ore, etc. are housed in a functional container made of a porous far-infrared emitting material filter or fibrous or porous activated carbon. This is what I did.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

Example 1. The container 1 may be anything as long as it functions as a far-infrared radiator, but as an example, 40% by volume of pine sawdust is mixed and kneaded into a compound paste of magnesia ceramics "KSS" manufactured by Kyoritsu Ceramic Materials Co., Ltd. It was then molded into the shape of a container, dried, and fired. Firing is 1
The pine sawdust was completely incinerated and gasified at a temperature close to 000'C, and a ceramic porous filter container 1 with a far-infrared radiation function was created.

As another method, a container 1 having a far-infrared radiation function was also produced by kneading the sesame-sized particles of 1'-KSSJ using a slurry of porcelain raw material as a binder.

The container 1 is cut into a predetermined shape if necessary. In this container 1, rice grain-sized maifan stone 2 and magnetite ore 3 are stored.

Furthermore, granular activated carbon 4, limestone 5, etc. may be used in combination as necessary.

Example 2. The container 1 is manufactured by molding activated carbon fibers or porous materials having an adsorption function. This contains the rice-grain-sized maifan stone 2 and magnetite ore 3, and further contains far-infrared radiator granules 6 and limestone 5 as needed.

A cartridge 8 is made by accommodating the medicinal stones and the like and having a container 1 made of a porous filter and a lid 7 made of the same material.

Note that the lid 7 does not need to be made of the same material as the container 1, and may be made of stainless steel mesh.

〔effect〕

If the cartridge 8 configured as described above is installed in the water purifier 9 and fixed with the lid 10 and water is allowed to flow from the inlet 11 to the outlet 12, the water will pass through the functional cartridge container 8 in which natural medicinal stones, etc. are stored. It is purified, activated, and added with minerals, calcium, etc.

As explained above, according to the water purifier of the present invention, the container formed of the porous filter body is made of a functional material such as a far-infrared radiator or activated carbon, and the container contains maifan stone and magnetite ore. Since the cartridge contains natural medicinal stones such as , it is possible to make direct contact with the water passing through it over a sufficiently large surface area, and not only can the cartridge be made extremely compact, but it can also be detached from the water purifier at will. It is possible to provide a water purifier that is safe, has an extremely effective water purification ability, and is inexpensive, using natural medicinal stones, which can be boiled and washed and used repeatedly for a semi-permanent period, without using all artificial water purifying members as in the past.

In addition, although the above description is about the natural medicinal stone contained in the multi-7L functional cartridge container, it is of course not limited to this, and other natural products and their processed products, as well as artificial effective materials in the form of granules, powders, fibers, etc. May be used in

Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the purification of household tap water, and the shape and structure of the water purifier are not limited to the embodiments.
