Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit ion-exchanged water to be obtained easily by a method wherein an outlet opening on one side of a changeover valve of an electrolytic bath is communicated with an alkaline ion-exchanged water supply opening and an outlet on the other side thereof is caused to join an acidic ion-exchanged water passage in communication with an acidic ion-exchanged water outlet opening and a faucet. CONSTITUTION:When ion-exchanged water is used, an electrolytic bath 50 is energized and a changeover valve 90 is set to a position of communication an inlet opening 115 with an outlet opening 91 on the other side thereof. Therefore, the water flowing out of an acidic ion-exchanged water outlet 52 is supplied through an acidic ion-exchanged water passage R3 and then through a faucet 10, while the water flowing out of an alkaline water outlet 53 is sent through the changeover valve 90 and then carried out from an alkaline ion- exchanged water supply opening 43. In this way the ion-exchanged water can be obtained easily at any desired time.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to an ionized water generating device. (hereinafter simply referred to as [tap water] in this application).
Various types of ionized water have been proposed, including an intermittent type in which ion water is obtained by storing water in a container and performing electrolysis for a certain period of time, and a continuous type in which electrolysis is performed while water is continuously flowing.

The conventional continuous ionized water generator described above has a main body that houses an electrolytic cell with a pair of opposing electrodes separated by an ion-permeable diaphragm, and a tap water inlet connected to a water faucet with a hose. , has a structure in which an acidic ionized water outlet and an alkaline ionized water outlet are provided.

``Problems to be Solved by the Invention J'' However, the conventional ionized water generating device described above has the disadvantage that the device itself is large, and when used, it is connected to a faucet with a hose, and tap water is supplied from the faucet. After that, it is necessary to energize the electrolytic cell to obtain ionized water (because energizing without water will damage the electrodes and ion-permeable diaphragm).

), it has the disadvantage that the operation is very complicated even when drinking a cup of alkaline ionized water.

In addition, after use, conventional ionized water generators require operations such as removing the water from the electrolytic cell and drying the ion-permeable diaphragm to prevent bacteria from growing on the ion-permeable diaphragm. The disadvantage was that it was difficult to obtain water.

Purpose: Therefore, the present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide an ionized water generating device that is small in size, easy to operate, and capable of producing ionized water easily and hygienically when desired. It is.

``Means for Solving the Problems J'' In accordance with the above-mentioned object, the configuration of the present invention, the gist of which is the scope of the above-mentioned claims, is to solve the above-mentioned problems.
One end of the water outlet pipe 41 is connected to the faucet valve seat 13, the other end of this water outlet pipe 41 is connected to the tap water inlet 51 of the electrolytic cell 50, and the alkaline ionized water outlet 53 of the electrolytic cell 50 is connected to the switching valve. Also, the acidic ionized water outlet 53 of the electrolytic cell 50 is connected to the valve chamber pipe 14 of the water faucet 10, and the one side outlet 91 of the switching valve 90 is connected to the alkaline ionized water supply port. 43, and the other side outflow port 92 is made to join in the middle of the acidic ionized water flow path R3 which communicates the acidic ionized water outflow port 53 and the valve chamber cylinder 14 of the water faucet 10. It is.

``Function j'' Therefore, the ionized water generating device of the present invention functions as follows.

■ Normally when water is used When water is not used at all, the water outlet pipe 41 and the electrolytic tank 5 are
A water stop valve 60 is inserted between the water stop valve 60 and the water stop valve 60, and the water passage is blocked by this water stop valve 60, so that water flows through the water stop valve 6o.
Water does not flow further downstream, and water does not flow out from either the faucet 1o or the alkaline ionized water supply port 43. Therefore,
When using water, by opening the water stop valve 60, tap water flows into the electrolytic cell 50, and the tap water that has passed through the electrolytic cell 50 (however, in this state, the electrolytic cell 50 is not energized). Therefore, the tap water is not electrolyzed.) flows out from the acidic ionized water outlet 52 and the alkaline water outlet 53, and the water flowing out from the acidic ionized water outlet 52 is supplied from the faucet 10 through the valve chamber pipe 14 of the water faucet 10. . Further, the water flowing out from the alkaline water outlet 53 flows into the switching valve 90,
Since this switching valve 90 normally communicates with the other side outlet 92, the water joins the acidic ionized water flow path R3, and the entire amount of tap water is supplied from the faucet 10 while remaining as it is.

(2) When using ionized water When using ionized water, the electrolytic cell 50 is energized, and the switching valve 90 is switched so that the inlet 115 and the outlet 91 on one side communicate with each other.

Therefore, water flowing out from the acidic ionized water outlet 52 passes through the acidic ionized water flow path R3 and is supplied from the faucet 10, but water flowing out from the alkaline water outlet 53 passes through the switching valve 9.
0 and then flows out from the alkaline ion water supply port 43.

(2) Cleaning action During the action (2) above, tap water always passes through the electrolytic cell 50. That is, by constantly passing fresh tap water through the electrolytic tank 50, the growth of bacteria in the electrolytic tank 50 is prevented, and furthermore, since the tap water is contaminated with sterilizing chlorine, it is actively It can also be expected to have a bactericidal effect.

Embodiment J Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, 10 is a water faucet, and the casing part of a conventionally known faucet is used for this water faucet 1o. That is, in this faucet 10, tap water flows in from a faucet inlet 11 at one end, passes through a faucet flow path R6, and flows out from a faucet water supply port 12 at the other end. A faucet valve seat 13 is provided, and above the faucet valve seat 13 is provided a valve chamber cylinder 14 whose upper end is open. This valve chamber cylinder 14 is provided with an outer circumferential thread 15 and an inner circumferential thread 16,
Normally, the outer circumferential thread 15 has a lid body, and the inner circumferential thread 16 has a guide piece for advancing and retracting the valve stem. The valve body is provided with a handle at its upper end, but the lid body, valve stem, guide piece, valve body, and handle are unnecessary for the device of the present invention and are therefore removed.

In addition, although the inner circumferential thread 16 is shown in the illustrated example,
This is because we assume that you will be using an existing faucet.
It is a hot opinion that when preparing a dedicated faucet 10, this inner circumferential thread 16 is also unnecessary.

Then, the water outlet pipe 4 is connected to the faucet valve seat] 3 of the water faucet 10.
1, and the other end of this water outlet pipe 41 is connected to the tap water inlet 51 of the electrolytic cell 50 via a water stop valve 60 in the middle.

In this embodiment, the connection between the faucet valve seat 13 and the water outlet pipe 41 is such that the valve chamber has an upwardly expanded valve chamber having a through hole 21 whose upper portion has an enlarged diameter in the outer peripheral thread 15 of the valve chamber tube 14 of the faucet 10. The diameter body 20 is screwed together. This valve chamber upper diameter enlarged body 20 has a faucet 1 on its inner peripheral surface.
The connecting cylinder part 20a has a thread 18 that is screwed into the thread 15 provided on the outer periphery of the valve chamber cylinder 14.
An enlarged diameter inverted conical through hole 21 is provided at the upper part of a, the lower side communicates with the connecting cylinder part 20a, and the inner diameter is between the inner diameter of the valve chamber cylinder 14 and the upper side. Cylinder part 20
b, but the through hole 21 may be a normal cylindrical through hole as long as its lower end is between the inner diameter of the valve chamber cylinder 14 and the upper end is enlarged in diameter. .

Then, a case 30 is fixed on the valve chamber upper enlarged diameter body 20 by closing the top of the through hole 21.
A tap water introduction cylinder part 41 is protruded from the lower surface of the water faucet 10 and is loosely inserted into the valve chamber cylinder 14 of the water faucet 10 and has its lower end pressed against the faucet valve seat 13. Although the bottom surface of the case 30 may be used to close the top of the through hole 21, in this embodiment, most of the flow paths to be described later are connected to the manifold 110.
Since it is formed inside the manifold 110, the top of the through hole 21 is closed by the bottom surface of the manifold 110. That is, a column portion 11 having a thread 111 on the outer periphery is provided at the lower part of the manifold 110.
2 is provided protrudingly, and the above-mentioned enlarged valve upper diameter body 20 is screwed onto this thread 111 with a fastening socket 23, and the lower surface of the manifold 110, more precisely, the manifold 110.
The top of the through hole 21 is closed by the bottom surface of the column 112 of the manifold 110, and the case 30 is fixed to this manifold 110. The top of the through-hole portion 21 may be closed off with, etc.

In the illustrated embodiment, the case 30 includes a cylindrical case body 31, a bottom plate 32 having a hollow portion into which the fastening socket 23 is loosely inserted, and a lid plate having an operation button 34 for an electrolytic switch 101, which will be described later. 32, this bottom board 3
2 to the manifold 110 etc. Nephew 33, 33.33
It is fixed at... Moreover, the tap water introduction cylinder part 41 is
Although it may be provided protruding from the bottom of the case 30, if the manifold 1], O is used on the bottom of the case 30 as in this embodiment, the tap water introduction cylinder 41 is of course located at the bottom of the manifold 110. It is provided protrudingly from the bottom surface so that tap water is guided into the case 30 through the tap water introduction cylinder part 41.

As the electrolytic cell 50, a conventionally known electrolytic cell can be used.
In this embodiment, an electrolytic cell 50 having a tap water inlet 51 at one end and an acidic ionized water outlet 52 and an alkaline ionized water outlet 53 at the other end is housed in a case 30. Note that a detailed explanation of this electrolytic cell 50 will be given later.

In order to connect the other end of the water outlet pipe 41 to the tap water inlet 51 of the electrolytic cell 50 via the water stop valve 60, the raw water supply passage R1 (see Fig. 3) is used. In this implementation, a water stop valve 60 operated by a proximity switch is inserted in the middle of the raw water supply passage R1, and a manual flow rate adjustment valve 70 is also inserted, and a A bypass path R2 communicates between the two, and this bypass path R2
A manual on-off valve 80 is provided in the middle of the raw water flow path R1, and a permanent magnet M1 is provided at a suitable outer circumference of the raw water flow path R1.

The water stop valve 60 uses various proximity switches such as infrared type, ultrasonic type, and capacitance type as sensors to detect when the hand of the person using the water toilet comes close to a predetermined position, and receives a detection signal. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, an infrared lamp 201 and an infrared receiving element 202 are used, and the infrared light emitted from the infrared lamp 201 approaches a predetermined position. The proximity of the object H is detected by being reflected by an object H such as a hand and received by the infrared light receiving element 202, and this detection signal is sent to the amplification/control circuit section 103.
The water stop valve 60 is controlled to open and close. Further, the water stop valve 60 itself may be one that opens when the solenoid 61 is energized, but in this embodiment, the small capacity solenoid 61 reliably opens and closes the valve against water pressure. A valve mechanism as shown most clearly in FIG. 4 is used. This valve mechanism constitutes a lower valve chamber 62 whose upper side is opened in the middle of the raw water flow path R1, and inside this lower valve chamber 62 there is a secondary raw water flow path R1° (described later, a third through hole R1-3 (Same as above.) A cylindrical valve seat portion 63 is provided upright and communicates with the valve seat portion 63. Further, the upper part of the lower valve chamber 62 is partitioned by a diaphragm 68 to form a valve upper blade chamber 64, and this diaphragm 68 normally closes the cylindrical valve seat part 63. Valve lower chamber 62
A first small hole 65 that communicates with the valve upper blade chamber 64 and a first small hole 66 that communicates the inside of the cylindrical valve seat 63 with the valve upper blade chamber 64 are provided. The lower end of 67 is normally in pressure contact with the second small hole 66 to close this second small hole 66. Therefore, in FIG. 1), this water pressure acts on the upper surface side of the diaphragm 68 through the first small hole 65 and presses the diaphragm 68 against the cylindrical valve seat 63. Then, when the solenoid 61 is energized to open the valve,
Normally, the diaphragm 68 is pulled up by electromagnetic attraction, but
In this embodiment, only the plunger 67 is pulled up. Then, the knee small hole 66 becomes conductive, so the internal pressure in the valve upper blade chamber 64 decreases, and the diaphragm 68 is pushed up by the internal pressure in the valve lower chamber 62, opening the valve.

Further, as most clearly shown in FIG. 6, the manual flow rate adjustment valve 70 has a rotary flow rate adjustment valve rod 71 inserted orthogonally to the raw water flow path R1 (secondary side raw water flow path R1'' in the figure). A through hole 72 (which may be a cutout) is provided in the portion of the flow rate regulating valve rod 71 that penetrates into the raw water flow path R1, and the flow path cross-sectional area of the raw water flow path R1 is adjusted by the rotation angle of this through hole 72. Although it is a hot theory that an adjustment dial 73 is attached to the outer end of the flow rate adjustment valve rod 71, the flow rate adjustment valve rod 71 is not connected to the manifold 110.
The inner part is a large diameter part 71a, and the part to be removed from the manifold 110 is a small diameter part 71b, and the holding plate 74 through which this small diameter part 71a passes is fixed to the manifold 110, so that it can rotate freely but move in the insertion and removal direction. There is nothing to avoid. In addition, since the adjustment dial 73 also serves as an operation knob for a manual on-off valve 80, which will be described later, it is movable in the insertion/removal direction within a certain range. , so as to be inserted into a keyway 76 provided in the adjustment dial 73.

Further, the bypass path R2 is connected to the cylindrical valve seat portion 6 described above.
A small hole is drilled in 3, and this small hole is used as a bypass path R2, and the above-mentioned manual on-off valve 80 is normally a valve body 81 biased by a spring 82 in the direction of closing this bypass path R2. A valve rod 83 is provided that protrudes from the valve body 81 in parallel with the aforementioned flow rate adjustment valve rod 71, and the tip of the valve rod 83 is engaged with the adjustment dial 73. This locking between the valve stem 83 and the adjustment dial 73 does not hinder the rotation of the adjustment dial 73, and when the adjustment dial 73 is moved in the direction of pulling out, the valve body 81 can be opened against the spring 82. Specifically, concentric long holes 75 and 76 are drilled in the bottom cover 73a of the adjustment dial 73, and the tip of the valve stem 83 is loosely inserted into the negative long hole 75. Locking bins 8 are provided on both sides of the bottom cover 73a of 83.
787 is installed. Note that the side portion of the locking screw 78 is loosely inserted into the other elongated hole 76.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, a permanent magnet M1 is disposed at a suitable outer circumference of the raw water flow path R1. This permanent magnet M
1 may be any device that generates a magnetic field in the raw water flow path R1, but in this embodiment, a storage pocket 113 is provided at the outlet of the raw water flow path R1 provided in the manifold 110, and a permanent magnet is placed in this storage pocket 113. Ml, Ml with spacer M
It is stored with 2 in between. It is generally said that when a magnetic field is applied to water, the cluster structure of water is disrupted and the dissolving ability of water is improved, but in reality this phenomenon is only slight. However, if the separation of the water cluster structure by this magnetic field and the separation of the water cluster structure by electrolysis are performed at close positions, the cluster structure of water molecules will be separated due to a synergistic effect. As a result, the electrolytic efficiency was significantly improved.

The present invention connects the alkaline ionized water outlet 53 of the electrolytic cell 50 to the inlet 15 of the switching valve 90, and connects the acidic ionized water outlet 53 of the electrolytic cell 50 to the water faucet 1.
It communicates with the valve chamber cylinder 14 of No. 0.

In addition, the alkaline ionized water outlet 53 and the inlet 115 of the switching valve 90 are communicated through an alkaline ionized water flow path R4.

One side outlet 91 of the switching valve 90 is communicated with the alkaline ion main water supply port 43, and the other side outlet 9
2 to the acidic ion water outlet 53 and the valve chamber cylinder 1 of the water faucet 10

Acidic ionized water flow path R that communicates the other side outflow port 92 with the acidic ionized water outflow port 53 and the valve chamber cylinder 14 of the water faucet 10
In order to have them merge in the middle of 3, they should be connected through a communication path R5.

The acidic ion water flow path R3, the communication path R5, the aforementioned raw water flow path R1, and the bypass path R2 are housed in the manifold 110 in this embodiment, and further include the switching valve 90, the water stop valve 60, and the manual flow rate adjustment.

The manifold 110 will be explained according to FIGS. 2 and 3. For manufacturing reasons, the manifold 110 is divided into an upper manifold 110a and a lower manifold 110a.

A second through hole R1-2 communicating with the through hole R1-1 is opened. The upper end of this second through hole R1-2 communicates with the lower part of the valve lower chamber 62 drilled from the upper surface of the upper manifold 110a. In addition, the upper manifold 110a
In this step, a third through hole R1-3 communicating with the cylindrical valve seat portion 63 provided in the lower valve chamber 62 is opened, and a fourth through hole R1-4 communicating with this third through hole R1-3 is opened. Lower manifold 110b
A hole is drilled from the top surface, and the other end of this fourth through hole R1-4 is bent in the middle and opened in the storage pocket 113 of the permanent magnet M1 mentioned above on the side surface of the lower manifold 110b. The tap water inlet 51 of the electrolytic cell 50 is connected to the other end of the first through hole R1-1.
The raw water flow path R1 is formed by the fourth through hole R1-4.

The upper manifold 110a has an insertion hole 1 for the flow rate regulating valve rod 71 extending from the side surface toward the valve lower chamber 62.

The small hole to be formed is drilled. Further, an alkali ion water flow port 115 is provided on the upper surface of the upper manifold 110a, and a valve chamber 93 of a switching valve 9o that communicates with this alkali ion water flow port 115 is provided. A fifth through hole R4-1 and a sixth through hole R5-1 communicating with the valve chamber 93 are opened in the lower manifold 110b, and an alkaline ion water supply port 43 is connected to the fifth through hole R4-1. The alkaline ionized water outlet 53 of the electrolytic cell 50 and the alkaline ionized water flow port 115 are connected to each other through a hose 116 (first
The hose 116 and the alkaline ionized water outlet 53 form an alkaline ionized water flow path R4.

Additionally, a seventh through hole R3 is connected to the acidic ion water outlet 52 of the electrolytic cell 50 from the side wall of the upper manifold 110a.

Furthermore, the lower manifold 11. Ob has the sixth through hole R
A ninth communication hole R5-1 is provided whose tip end communicates with the eighth communication hole R3-2, and this ninth communication hole R5-1 forms a communication path R5.

Incidentally, it is a matter of theory that this manifold 110 may be integrally molded without being divided into upper and lower halves, and furthermore, the manifold 110 itself may be omitted and each of the above-mentioned flow paths may be constituted by piping or the like. In addition, in this application, the alkaline ion water outlet 5
3, alkaline ion water is set to be supplied from the faucet 10 and acidic ion water is supplied from the faucet 10, but in practice, the setting may be made such that alkaline ion water is supplied from the faucet 10.

Further, the switching valve 90 has one side outlet 91 on the downstream side.
In the illustrated example, a cylindrical body 96 whose upper end is fixed to a shaft 95 which is rotated by the rotation of an operating lever 94 is housed in the valve chamber 93. A spring 97 holds the cylinder 96 inside the cylinder 96.

As the ion permeable partition ff154, the acidic chamber 50a
Mixing of water with the alkali chamber 50b is restricted (there is no need to completely restrict it; conventionally, water-permeable materials such as Japanese paper have been used), but materials that allow ions to pass through can be used, and porous A plate, a sheet material with fine holes on one side, an ion exchange membrane, etc. are used.

Furthermore, although there are no particular restrictions on the material of the electrodes 55 and 56, it is a matter of principle that a corrosion-resistant metal is used, and it is the same as before that a predetermined DC voltage is applied between the picture electrodes 55 and 56. In the example shown in FIG. 10, the left electrode 55 is the anode side, the right electrode 56 is the cathode side, and the left side of the ion-permeable diaphragm 54 is the acidic chamber 50a, and the right side is the alkaline chamber 5.

On the other hand, tap water that has passed between the ion-permeable diaphragm 54 and the anode side electrode 55 is acidified and ionized, passes through the folded channel 5, and flows out from the acidic ionized water outlet 53. There is no water so that it flows out from 52.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, the alkaline ionized water outlet 53 is provided on the one side container portion 50a' because the alkaline ionized water outlet 53 and the acidic ionized water outlet 52 are arranged on one side of the electrolytic cell 50. The alkaline ion water outlet 53 may be provided on the other side of the container portion 50b. In addition, the provision of the folded channel 5 increases the contact area with the electrode 55, and especially
