Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently form magnetized ion water by providing a magnetism generating means which forms a magnetic field in electrode chambers on the outside or inside of an electrolytic cell which segments the part between a negative electrode and a positive electrode by a diaphragm for electrolysis to a cathode chamber and an anode chamber. CONSTITUTION:The water in the electrolytic cell 1 is formed to alkali ion water (cathode chamber) and acidic ion water (anode chamber) by an electrolytic effect and the electric permeation effect of the diaphragm when water is fed into the electrolytic cell and a DC voltage is impressed to the electrodes 2, 3. The water is simultaneously formed as the magnetized ion water by receiving the influence of the magnetic field of the magnetism generator. The scale, such as calcium carbonate, sticking to the cathode chamber side, dissolves in water and cleaning is effected when the polarities of the electrodes 2, 3 are changed. Further, different liquid chemicals for electrolysis are smoothly fed together with raw water into the desired electrolytic chambers by supplying the raw water added with these liquid chemicals from two independent water feed ports 5a, 5b.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a method for producing magnetized ionized water in which magnetism is applied to the hydration phenomenon of alkali ions caused by electrolysis, and an apparatus for implementing this method.

[Background technology of the invention]

Drinking alkaline ionized water obtained through electrolysis is useful for preventing acidification of the human body and maintaining and improving health.
In addition, acidic ion water is effective for cleansing the face and preventing rough skin.

On the other hand, magnetized water that has been subjected to magnetism has the advantage of being resistant to decay and rust, and is also known to be good for health.

The present inventor discovered that by applying magnetism during electrolysis of water, it is possible not only to generate water that has both the characteristics of ionized water and magnetic water, but also to obtain a synergistic effect for both electrolysis and magnetization. It is an invention.

Therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to generate magnetized ionized water in which bioactivity is imparted by magnetism to the hydration effect of ions produced by electrolysis of water, and to promote magnetization of treated water and improve electrolysis efficiency. An object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for producing magnetized ionized water.

By the way, in the conventional electrolytic unit used in this type of electrolytic ionized water generating apparatus, scale such as calcium carbonate adheres to the cathode chamber of the electrolytic cell while it is being used, and the electrolytic efficiency decreases. For this reason, it is necessary to clean the electrolysis unit, especially its cathode chamber, every certain electrolysis operation time by circulating a cleaning solution in a special cleaning circulation circuit or by passing a reverse current between the electrodes of the electrolytic cell. There wasn't.

Therefore, another object of the present invention is to provide a magnetized ionized water generating device that allows electrolytic operation by switching the polarity of the electrolytic unit, thereby eliminating the need for cleaning.

When producing alkaline water or acidic water using an electrolyzed ionized water generator, chemical solutions may be added to the raw water in the anode chamber or cathode chamber as necessary, but conventional electrolysis units only supply water to the water supply section. Since the water supply channel for the anode and cathode chambers is shared by a single water supply port, in order to separately introduce chemical solutions into the anode and cathode chambers, the end member of the electrolysis unit must be
A pair of chemical solution supply channels that communicate independently with the anode chamber and the cathode chamber in the tank had to be provided separately from the raw water supply channel. However, when a chemical liquid passage is formed in the end member of the electrolytic unit, there is a problem that the passage becomes narrow and the chemical liquid cannot be sent smoothly.

In particular, in a multi-vessel type electrolytic ionized water generation device in which a plurality of electrolysis units are set, it is difficult to send a constant pressure of chemical solution through the narrow chemical solution supply path of each unit, which causes uneven supply.

Accordingly, a further object of the present invention is to provide magnetization that eliminates the need for a chemical liquid supply path in an electrolytic unit and enables the chemical liquid to be separately supplied together with raw water to predetermined electrode chambers from two independently provided water supply ports. An object of the present invention is to provide an ionized water generating device.

[Summary of the invention]

The device of the present invention is provided with a magnetic generating means for generating a magnetic field in an electrode chamber in the tank, outside or inside an electrolytic cell in which a cathode chamber and an anode chamber are partitioned between a cathode and an anode by an electrolytic diaphragm. It is.

The second object of the present invention is to use an anodic electrolysis resistant material that can withstand use as an anode during water electrolysis for both electrodes of the electrolysis unit used in the magnetized ionized water generation device, and to This can be achieved by making it possible to switch the polarity of the applied voltage.

Furthermore, the third object of the present invention is to provide the raw water supply section of the electrolysis unit used in the magnetized ionized water generation device with two water supply ports that communicate with a pair of electrolytic chambers in the electrolytic cell independently. This can be achieved by

At the bottom of the electrolytic cell 1, a rod-shaped lead 14 whose side surface is coated with an insulating seal 13 passes through the lower block 6a and the lower support member 10a, and its tip is connected to the positive electrode 3. Although the diagram is omitted, the lead 14
By applying a DC voltage for electrolysis to the conductive terminal 15a of the lower block 6a and the conductive terminal 15b of the negative electrode 2, the lower block 6a
Water introduced into the electrolytic cell 1 through the water supply port 5 is electrolyzed to produce alkaline ionized water in the cathode chamber 2' and acidic ionized water in the anode chamber 3'.

Thus, the feature of the present invention is that a magnetism is applied to the water in the electrolytic cell during the electrolytic treatment, and the water is electrolyzed into alkaline ionized water and acidic ionized water in the magnetic field.

For this purpose, the apparatus of the present invention is provided with a magnetic field generating device 16 that generates a magnetic field near the outside or inside of the electrolytic cell 1 so that its magnetic force acts on the water in the electrolytic cell 1.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the magnetic generator 16 is a cylindrical coil unit 1 to which DC or AC voltage is applied from a power source 16a.

When a plurality of units 16 are arranged in the axial direction of the electrolytic cell 1, it is not limited to arranging them so that the magnetic poles of adjacent coil units IGb are different as shown in Fig. 2, but also as shown in Fig. 3. The same polarity sides may be adjacent to each other.

The magnetism generating device is not limited to the one shown in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, which generates a magnetic field by passing a current through a coil, but a permanent magnet 16' can also be used as the magnetism generating device 16. FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which a permanent magnet 16' is disposed near the outside of the electrolytic cell 1, and water is electrolyzed in the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 16'. As a modification of the case where a magnetic field is generated in the electrolytic cell 1 by a permanent magnet 16', the positive electrode 3 itself is constituted by a permanent magnet 16' as shown in FIG. You can do it like this. In this case, the material of the positive electrode itself is not limited to the permanent magnet 16 as shown in FIG. 5, but the cylindrical positive electrode 3 made of a known electrode material such as titanium platinum plating as shown in FIG. It may also have a structure in which one or more permanent magnets 16' are built into the hollow interior of the magnet.

FIG. 7 shows another embodiment of the magnetized ionized water generating apparatus according to the present invention, which is an apparatus for achieving the second object of the present invention.

That is, in this embodiment, a material resistant to anodic electrolysis is used in the magnetized ionized water generating device, and the polarity of the voltage applied to both electrodes is switched to enable the magnetized ionized water generating operation. The anodic electrolytic material used here means an electrode material that can withstand use not only as a cathode during water electrolysis (but also as an anode, such as ferrite, magnetite, ceramics, etc.) Ceramics that can be used as positive electrodes, such as ceramics that have been surface-treated with gold or platinum or mixed with other conductive materials; Titanium; Titanium alloys: Titanium that has been plated with precious metals; and other alloys that can be used as positive electrodes. An example of this is an alloy material that uses the electric charge of the alloy's ions to prevent the anode from disintegrating on the electrode surface.

When using such an electrolytic unit, a female selector switch 20 is usually provided in the electric circuit 19 for applying voltage to convert the polarity of the electrodes 2 and 3. Also, when using this type of electrolytic unit, By switching the polarity of the electrodes 2.3, the outlets of alkaline water and acidic water discharged from the outlets 7a and 7b are reversed, which causes various inconveniences.
In order to solve this problem, it is desirable to connect a flow path switching valve device 2I to the ionized water outlet paths 7a and 7b of the electrolysis unit, so that the intake ports for alkaline water and acidic water are made constant regardless of the polarity switching of the electrodes. .

Incidentally, the flow path switching valve device 21 included in the apparatus of the embodiment shown in FIG. , 22b includes two valve bodies 24a.

A slide valve 25 for switching the flow path having a slide valve 24b is slidably fitted, and the flow paths of the outlet paths 7a and 7b are switched by moving the valve bodies 24a and 24b from the solid line position to the imaginary line position. It has become.

Further, a detector 27 such as a limit switch that detects the position of the slide valve 25 is provided near the slide valve 25, and the motor 26a can be controlled by the signal, and the polarity of the motor 26a and the electrolytic unit can be changed. By interlocking the switch 20, the flow path of the flow path switching valve device 21 can be changed at the same time as the polarity of the electrolyzer unit is changed (the reverse is also possible). Incidentally, the polarity changeover switch 20 and the flow path changeover valve device 21 may be automatically switched in conjunction with each other at fixed time intervals using a timer.

FIG. 8 shows still another embodiment of the magnetized ionized water generating device according to the present invention, which is a device for achieving the third object of the present invention.

are provided independently, and the flow paths are separated before the raw water supplied to each electrode chamber 23' enters the electrolytic cell l.

The reason for providing the two independent water supply ports 5a and 5b in the raw water supply section 6a as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8 is to mix the chemical solution into the raw water before entering the electrode chamber 2'3', This is to enable charging into a desired electrode chamber within the tank.

That is, by providing two independent water supply ports 5a and 5b, a pair of water supply ports 5a of the electrolysis unit are provided in the bifurcated water supply circuits 23a and 28b of the water supply pipe 28.

5b, and the supply pipes 29a, 29b of the chemical solution supply device 29 to the bifurcated water supply circuit 28a.

28b or its downstream water supply ports 5a, 5b,
Thereby, a desired chemical solution can be mixed in advance into the raw water sent to each electrode chamber 2', 3' and sent together with the raw water.

In Fig. 8, 30 is a chemical liquid introduction pipe, 3I is a chemical liquid flow path switching valve, 32 is a crank, 33 is a valve driving device such as a motor, and 34a and 34b detect the valve position, and the driving device is activated by a detection signal. 33, and when using an electrolytic unit whose polarity can be changed, the driving device 33 of the chemical solution supply device 29 is an electric circuit 35 or a timer or the like that controls the voltage supply electric circuit 19 of the electrolytic unit. It may also be linked with the reverse power changeover switch 20.

In both the embodiments shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the magnetism generating device 16 corresponds to the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, but the present invention is not limited to this. Of course, it is also possible to use

Although FIGS. 1 to 8 illustrate the case where a continuous type ion water generation device is used in which treated water is passed through an electrolytic cell, the present invention is not limited to this, and a batch type non-continuous type water generation device is used. This also includes when using a continuous ionized water generator.

Further, the present invention is not limited to the case where a cylindrical electrolytic unit as in the above embodiment is used. For example, as shown in Figure 9,
The present invention can also be applied to an ionized water generator using a single-layer or multi-layer flat plate electrolysis unit. That is, FIG. 9 shows parallel flat cathodes 10 arranged oppositely.
2 and the anode 103 are divided into a cathode chamber 102' and an anode chamber 103' by a flat electrolytic diaphragm 104, and a flat electrolytic cell 101 using such an electrolytic unit 118 is constructed.
A magnetism generating device 16 is installed near the electrolytic cell 101 to cause magnetism to act inside the electrolytic cell 101. In this case as well, it is not limited to the case where a magnetic field is created by passing current through a coil as shown in the figure.
It is also possible to use permanent magnets as shown in FIGS.

Although not shown in the drawings, the electrodes of the electrolytic unit in the embodiment in FIG. 9 may be configured to have switchable polarity as in the embodiment in FIG. Of course, it is also possible to configure the above configuration, and the present invention has the above configuration, so water is supplied to the electrolytic cell 1 (101) and the electrodes 2.3 (
102, 103), electrolytic cell 1 (
The water in 101) is generated into alkaline ionized water (cathode chamber) and acidic ionized water (anode chamber) by electrolytic action and electroosmotic action of the diaphragm, and at the same time is magnetized by the magnetic field of the magnetic generator. It is produced as ionized water.

Further, in the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, by switching the polarity of the electrodes 2 and 3, scale such as calcium carbonate adhering to the cathode chamber side is dissolved in the water, and a cleaning action is performed.

Furthermore, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, by supplying raw water to which different electrolytic chemicals have been added from two independent water supply ports 5a and 5b, the chemicals necessary for each electrolytic chamber 2' and 3' can be supplied together with the supplied raw water. It is sent into the corresponding electrode chamber.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, since the present invention performs electrolysis and magnetization simultaneously, it is possible to efficiently produce magnetized ionized water in which physiological activity is added to the neutralizing action of ions, and the following synergistic effects can be obtained. That is, in the method of the present invention, water is magnetized during electrolysis, so that it is easily magnetized and magnetic water can be efficiently generated. Also, since water is electrolyzed under the influence of magnetism, the inconvenience of scale adhesion to the diaphragm and deterioration of the electrolysis vehicle during electrolysis can be rationally eliminated. As described above, in the present invention, the aqueous phase phenomenon of ions caused by electrolysis and the magnetization effect work together advantageously, so that the present invention is extremely useful for water ionization and physiological activation.

Furthermore, when the anode is made of a permanent magnet, the anode and the magnetism generating device are also used, making the structure and assembly easier.

In addition, if a material resistant to anodic electrolysis is used for both electrodes and the polarity of the electrodes is switched to generate magnetized ionized water, calcium carbonate, etc. attached to the cathode chamber side will dissolve into the water due to the polarity change. Therefore, the operation for producing magnetized ionized water can be continued while performing the cleaning action. Therefore, additional equipment for cleaning is not required, which not only reduces the cost and simplifies the device, but also significantly improves the operating rate of the device.

Furthermore, if the electrolysis unit is equipped with two independent water supply ports, the chemical solution can be sent to the target electrolytic chamber together with the raw water, so there is no need to provide a chemical solution supply path like in the past, and the chemical solution can be supplied smoothly. can be mixed in.
