Abstract

PURPOSE:To purify water for discharging from a nozzle without the need of any special water purifier by providing a pipe body having a spout at the forward end and an introducing opening at the rear end and incorporating therein a net bag filled with the purifying granules containing chlorine removing and far-infrared materials. CONSTITUTION:A hose 7 is connected at one end to a water faucet and a connecting part 8 at the other end thereof is connected to a nozzle introducing opening 4 by engaging the internal threads 9 of the former with the external threads 3 of the latter. The water faucet is opened, and then the water is introduced into a pipe body 1, passed through purifying granules 6 filled in a net bag 5 and sent under pressure to a spout 2 at the end thereof. Since the bag 5 contains special ceramics and silver activating carbons as a chlorine removing material and ball ceramics-containing purifying granules as a far-infrared material, the water is dechlorinated, purified, slightly alkalized, deprived of minerals, activated and discharged from the spout 2. For this reason, the watering of a plant using this pipe body is condusive to its good growth.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Application Fields] The present invention can be used in various places such as watering in farms and gardens, washing cars, baths such as shower heads, kitchens such as the tip of hot water pots, etc. The present invention relates to a nozzle which itself can purify water.

0002

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION No conventional nozzle equipped with water purification means is known. In other words, when using a nozzle like the one described above to use chlorine-sterilized water, such as tap water, for watering plants or other purposes, the water should be dechlorinated and subjected to other useful treatments. If so, it is only conceivable to pass the water through a water purifier before introducing it into the nozzle. However, since no water purifier that can be used appropriately in such cases has been proposed, the usage of such nozzles and water purifiers has not been established.

0003

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] As mentioned above, it is desirable to dechlorinate the water used for plants and other plants or for washing cars and make it more useful by dechlorinating it and removing other pollutants. It is effective for the growth of plants to use them after dissolving the ingredients and performing other useful treatments.
It does not cause water stains or other negative effects on car paint. Of course, it goes without saying that it is also effective when used for human drinking or bathing. Therefore, in the present invention, the various nozzles are provided with means for purifying the water spouted through the nozzles, and means for providing further useful effects as needed, so that tap water and other water can be purified by special water purification means. It is introduced directly into this without going through it to dechlorinate and purify it,
The purpose of this invention is to enable the activated water to be spouted out.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] The gist of the present invention is to provide a spout section configured at the tip for spouting water, a water inlet section configured at the rear end, the spout section and the inlet. A pipe body located between the mouth part and the pipe body communicating with both sides,
A pipe body whose length is sufficient for water purification by the purification granules described later filled in the pipe body, and the pipe body filled with the purification granules described later and then charged. This nozzle is composed of a net bag filled with purifying particles containing a chlorine removing material and a far infrared ray emitting material.

[0005] The nozzles to which the present invention is applied include a watering nozzle attached to the tip of a watering hose, a car washing nozzle, a shower head, a spout of a watering can, and others.
It can include anything that can eject water in a jet state. The spout section may have a single relatively large-diameter spout, as in a water hose, or may have a large number of small-diameter spouts, as in a shower head.

[0006] In the case of a nozzle such as a water spray nozzle or a shower head, the introduction port may have a male thread formed on the outer periphery of the end, for example, to be screwed into a female thread of a connecting pipe at the end of the hose. shall be. In the case of a configuration in which the discharge port is combined with the tank portion, such as in a watering can, the discharge port is configured integrally. In any case, it is not limited to a specific configuration.

[0007] Furthermore, the pipe body may be configured such that the front and rear spout portions and the inlet portion are integrally formed, or may be configured to be detachable. Furthermore, regarding the diameter of the pipe body, it is necessary to make both ends correspond to each other in order to connect with the front and rear jet ports and the inlet port, but the diameter of the pipe body must be adjusted to some extent due to the relationship with the purifying granules to be filled. It can be made large or small in diameter. Its length is related to the quality performance of the purifying granules that are filled into it through the net bag, so that tap water and other water can be sufficiently dechlorinated, purified, activated, and as needed. It is sufficient as long as it is long enough to make it weakly alkaline and dissolve the minerals.

[0008] The purifying granules may contain any material effective for purifying water, eluting minerals, making it weakly alkaline, activating it, and making the water more useful. In terms of materials, various ceramics, various mineral grains, activated carbon, and others that meet the above conditions can be used. As mentioned above, it is necessary to include at least a chlorine removing material and a far infrared ray emitting material. Specifically, the above-mentioned chlorine removal materials include:
Activated carbon such as silver activated carbon is effective. Ball ceramics, which are far-infrared emitting materials, are also known to have the effect of removing chlorine. The above-mentioned ball ceramics and other ceramics are effective as the far-infrared radiating material. This has the effect of activating water.

[0009] The net bag plays the role of holding the purifying granules inside the pipe so that they do not leak out.

0010

[Operation] Since the present invention has the above-described structure, if this nozzle is used for watering plants, washing a car, or as a shower head, a special water purification means can be installed between the water supply equipment such as a water faucet, etc. Even without intervention, water is purified, dechlorinated, and activated by the purifying granules filled in the pipe body, so it is useful for growing plants, and car washes can eliminate limescale buildup. It does not cause such problems and has a positive effect on the body even when used for bathing. The above effects can be easily obtained mainly because the pipe body has a sufficient length. Further, after use, since almost no water remains in the nozzle, there is no need to worry about the growth of bacteria.

[0011]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Examples of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIG. This is an example in which the present invention is applied to a water spray nozzle. As shown in FIG. 1, this nozzle has a spout 2 on the tip side of a pipe body 1, and a male thread 3 on the outer periphery on the rear end side.
The inlet port 4 has the following structure. The pipe body 1 has a diameter of about 20 mm and a length of about 200 mm. The pipe body 1 is filled with purifying granules 6 placed in a net bag 5 having an outer diameter corresponding to the inner diameter thereof.

In this example, the purifying granules 6 include:
The following materials were used. a) Special ceramics (N370) as chlorine removal material
(Product name, manufactured by Nishimura Pottery Co., Ltd.) and silver activated carbon. Note that the above-mentioned special ceramic (N370) also acts as a weak alkalization accelerator and a mineral elution material. b) Ball ceramics (trade name, manufactured by Nishimura Ceramics Co., Ltd.) is used as the far-infrared radiating material. As the other purifying granules 6, the above-mentioned special ceramics (CC30) were used as a mineral elution material. In this example, special ceramics (N370) are used as the purifying particles 6 in the net bag 5.
, special ceramics (CC30), and silver activated carbon, each weighing 12 g, and 16 ball ceramics were charged.

[0013] In addition to the above, the chlorine removing material may include:
Various activated carbons can be used. Furthermore, as a weak alkalization accelerator, natural activated calcium containing basic pentacalcium triphosphate as a main component can be employed. This generates calcium ions and not only promotes weak alkalization as described above, but also can be used as a mineral elution material that elutes various minerals. Further, as the mineral elution material, it is also possible to employ rocks such as coral sand whose base material is reef-building coral. The above-mentioned coral sand can adsorb heavy metals and elute many types of minerals.

In the figure, 7 is a hose that is connected to a water faucet, etc., and 8 is a connecting part formed at the end of the hose 7, and the inner periphery of the connecting part is screwed with the male thread 3 formed on the outer periphery of the introduction port 4. A female thread 9 is formed that can be used.

[0015] Since this embodiment is constructed in this way, this nozzle is convenient for use in watering plants, washing cars, etc. The hose 7 is connected to, for example, a water faucet, and the connecting portion 8 at the end is connected to the inlet 4 of the nozzle by screwing the female screw 9 of the former to the male screw 3 of the latter. Once prepared in this manner, the tap can be opened to introduce water, and the water can be used to water plants such as plants, or to wash cars, etc., according to general usage. The tap water is led from the hose 7 through the inlet 4 into the pipe body 1 of the nozzle, and passes through the purifying granules 6 charged into the pipe body 1 while being filled in a net bag 6. It is fed under pressure to the spout 2 at the tip.

In the process of passing through the purifying granules 6, the tap water is dechlorinated, purified, made weakly alkalized, eluted minerals, and activated by the respective components. It will be ejected from the spout 2. Therefore, when applied to plants, etc., it has a favorable effect on their growth. Furthermore, when used for car washing, it has the advantage that it does not adversely affect paintwork and does not cause problems such as adhesion of water scale.

The pipe body 1 has a diameter of 200 mm as described above.
It has a length of mm, and from the performance quality of the purifying granules 6 filled inside, a sufficient filling length can be obtained, and as a result, the above-mentioned useful effects can be obtained. (Even if other types of purifying materials are used, a sufficient effect can be expected with a length not much different from this one.) On the other hand, this length of the pipe body 1 is within a suitable range for the grip of the nozzle, and is extremely convenient.

[0018] According to this nozzle, however, there is an advantage that purified water can be easily obtained as described above without intervening a special water purifying means or the like between the nozzle and the water supply. Further, after use, since almost no water remains in the nozzle, there is no need to worry about the growth of bacteria. This nozzle is capable of spraying up to about 8 liters per minute while purifying the fluid for practical use.

A second embodiment of the present invention will be explained based on FIG. This is an example in which the present invention is applied to a bathroom shower device. As shown in FIG. 2, this basically consists of a shower head 11, a pipe body 12, and purifying granules 14 contained in a net bag 13, which are inserted into the pipe body 12. The shower head 11 has a shower nozzle portion 15 at its tip and a connecting portion 16 having a male thread formed on its outer periphery at its rear end. Further, the pipe body 12 has a coupling part 17 formed on its inner periphery with a female thread that engages with the male thread of the coupling part 16 at its front end, and an introduction port 18 formed with a male thread on its outer periphery at its rear end. It is composed of A grid-shaped stopper 19 is arranged inside the pipe body 12 on its front end side. This is to prevent the net bag 13 containing the purified granules 14 from flowing out. The pipe body 12 has a diameter of about 20 mm and a length of about 200 mm. However, in this lever shower device, the pipe body 12 is connected to the shower head 11 by screwing together the male thread of the former connecting part 16 and the female thread of the latter connecting part 17.

[0020] As the purifying granules 14, the same material as in the first embodiment was used in this example as well. Therefore, the explanation thereof will be omitted.

In the figure, 20 is a hose that is connected to the outlet of a valve for mixing hot water or water, or a water faucet, etc., and 21 is a hose 2.
0, and a female thread is formed on its inner periphery to be able to engage with a male thread formed on the outer periphery of the introduction port 18.

[0022] Since this embodiment is constructed in this way, this shower device can be usefully used for washing the body in a bathroom. The hose 20 is connected, for example, to the outlet of a hot water mixing valve installed in the bathroom, and the connecting part 21 at the end is connected to the inlet 18 of the pipe body 12.
They are connected by screwing the former female screw into the latter male screw. Once prepared in this way, the valve can be opened to introduce water and/or hot water and used as a shower in accordance with common usage. Tap water or hot water is supplied from the hose 20 to the pipe body 1 of the shower device through the inlet 18.
The granules are introduced into a net bag 13, passed through the purifying granules 14 charged in the pipe body 12, and are force-fed to the shower nozzle section 15 at the tip.

In the process of passing through the purifying granules 14, the tap water is dechlorinated, purified, and slightly alkalized by the respective components, just as in the first embodiment. Minerals are eluted, activated, and ejected from the shower nozzle section 15. Therefore, when you apply this on your body, you will feel a gentle feeling.
You can take a shower comfortably. Furthermore, since ingredients that have an adverse effect on the body have been removed, it is also good for health.

The pipe body 12 has a diameter of 20 mm as described above.
It has a length of 0 mm, which means that a sufficient filling length can be obtained considering the performance quality of the purifying granules 14 filled inside, and as a result, the above-mentioned useful effects can be obtained. This is the same as in the first embodiment. Further, in this shower device, since the pipe body 12 is configured to be detachable from the shower head 11, the pipe body 12 may
2 can be coupled to a conventional shower head to realize this embodiment. There are other effects similar to those of the first embodiment.

[0025]

According to the present invention, water from a tap, a hot water mixing valve, etc. can be purified and ejected from a nozzle without the intervention of a special water purifier. Therefore it is very convenient. In addition, the purification granules are filled in a pipe body with sufficient length, and tap water, etc. can pass through the filled area of the long purification granules, resulting in a high level of purification. It is something. Further, since almost no water remains in the pipe body, there is no problem such as the proliferation of bacteria when the pipe body is not in use.
