（イ）産業上の利用分野
本発明は水道水を浄水フィルターを内蔵した浄水器内に
流入して浄水として吐出する浄水装置に関するものであ

のに関する。Detailed Description of the Invention (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a water purification device in which tap water flows into a water purifier having a built-in water purification filter and is discharged as purified water. Concerning things that notify you when it's time to replace them.
（ロ）従来の技術
浄水フィルターを用いて水道水中に含まれる残留塩素を
除去するものが例えば特開昭５９−１８３８８３号公報
に開示されている。(b) Prior Art A method for removing residual chlorine contained in tap water using a water purification filter is disclosed, for example, in JP-A-59-183883.
ところが、前記浄水フィルターは一般には活性炭が用い
られるが、この活性炭に限らず他の濾過部材であっても
長期間使用すると浄水能力が低下しその効果がなくなる
。このため新しい浄水フィルターと交換して使用するわ
けであるが、交換時期を正確に把握することができない
ために、■蛇口から吐出する水から臭いがする様になっ
た時、■浄水フィルターの使用から４〜６ケ月経過後、
■蛇口から流出する水量が減少した時、■浄水フィルタ
ーが極度に変色した時、等の目安によって交換するよう
にしている。However, activated carbon is generally used in the water purifying filter, but not only activated carbon but also other filtering members lose their water purifying ability and become ineffective when used for a long period of time. For this reason, it is necessary to replace the water purification filter with a new one, but since it is not possible to accurately determine when it is time to replace it, ■ When the water discharged from the faucet starts to smell, ■ Use the water purification filter. After 4 to 6 months,
■When the amount of water flowing out of the faucet decreases, ■When the water filter becomes extremely discolored, etc., I try to replace it based on the following guidelines.
しかしながら、前述の様な目安によって交換する場合の
欠点として、浄水能力が大きく低下しているにも拘らず
気づかずに使用しており蛇口からの吐出量が少なく不便
であること、反対にまだ浄水能力が十分にあるにも拘ら
ず新しい浄水フィルターに交換した場合には不経済であ
ること。等が挙げられる。However, the disadvantages of replacing the water according to the guideline mentioned above are that people continue to use the water without realizing it even though the water purification capacity has significantly decreased, which is inconvenient due to the small amount of water being discharged from the faucet; It is uneconomical to replace the water filter with a new one even though the filter has sufficient capacity. etc.

気体のたまった気相部（１９）となる。Next, we will discuss the operation. Let us explain the cases in which purified water is required. When the cock (not shown) is opened, the raw water pipe (
11) Water enters the raw water inlet chamber (5) and activates carbon (2)
through the hollow fiber membrane (3), passes through the purified water outflow chamber (6), passes through the purified water pipe (12), and reaches the detector (1).
4) into the liquid storage tank (15). After that, the liquid storage tank (
15) The purified water filled in the tank is discharged from the faucet (13), and when the cock is closed, the purified water in the storage tank (15) is discharged from the faucet (13).
The liquid is discharged up to the height of the collecting material, and with this collecting material as a boundary, the lower part thereof becomes a liquid phase part (18) that is constantly stored, and the upper part becomes a gas phase part (19) in which gas is accumulated.

が点灯する。The residual chlorine evaporated from the liquid phase (18) accumulates in the gas phase (19), purifying the water! When the concentration of residual chlorine increases due to long-term use of (1) and reaches a predetermined value, the resistance value of the concentration sensor (17) is detected and the control circuit (20)
The drive circuit (22) is actuated by the output of the alarm (24).

を促すようにすれば効果的である。Of course, in this case, multiple predetermined values for the chlorine concentration can be set in advance, and two-color alarms are installed, and when a low predetermined value is reached, one output of the control circuit lights up a yellow alarm, and the water purification filter is activated. It is possible to foretell that the time for replacement is near and prompt the user to prepare a new water filter, and then, when a high predetermined value is reached, a red alarm will be lit by another output of the control circuit to prompt the user to replace it. Effective.

なり収納スペースも少なくてすむ。(g) Effects of the invention As described above, the present invention provides a detector for detecting residual chlorine in purified water between the water purifier and the faucet, and an alarm when the detected residual chlorine reaches a predetermined value. This allows you to know exactly when to replace your water filter. Therefore, there is no need to waste money by replacing the water purification filter at an unnecessarily early stage, and on the other hand, there is no disadvantage of continuing to be in an inconvenient state with a small discharge amount despite the lack of water purification ability. In addition, the detector has a liquid phase part and a gas phase part above it, and a concentration sensor is installed in the gas phase part, so the concentration sensor can detect residual chlorine in the gas phase part, and the concentration sensor can detect residual chlorine in the liquid phase part. It allows for more accurate detection than chlorine detection. Furthermore, by integrating the detector and the water purifier, maintenance and inspection become easier, and the water purification pipe becomes shorter, requiring less storage space.
