Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. The ion water supply device is provided, for example, in a sink so that the alkaline ion water is supplied from the alkaline ion water supply tap and the acidic ion water is supplied from the acidic ion water supply tap. The ion water supply system will be described in detail below.

In the ion water generator 1, the electrolytic cell 11 is divided into a cathode chamber and an anode chamber by, for example, a porous partition wall, and a voltage is applied to the electrodes arranged in both chambers so that tap water in both chambers is tapped. The alkaline ionized water having a high pH value is generated in the cathode chamber, and the acidic ionized water having a low pH value is generated in the anode chamber by applying the electrolytic action and the electroosmotic action to. An apparatus for performing such generation is well known in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-156046. The ionized water generator 1 can be operated / stopped by operating a switch. A water purifier 2 is arranged on the upstream side of such an ion water generator 1, and tap water is supplied to the water purifier 2 via a water stop valve 12 and a water stop valve 13, and the water purifier 2 is used to supply tap water. The sterilizing components such as chlorine and chlorine and other contaminants can be filtered and purified.

A pressure type cooler 4 is provided in parallel with the alkaline ionized water supply passage 3 in the alkaline ionized water supply passage 3 for supplying the alkaline ionized water generated by the ionized water generator 1. A switching valve 5 is provided to switch between a state of passing water to the chiller 4 side and a state of passing water to the alkaline ionized water supply passage 3 side which is parallel to the chiller 4. Further, an opening / closing valve 7 is provided in the acidic ion water supply passage 6 for supplying the acidic ion water generated by the ion water generator 1.

As described above, the ion water generator 1 is provided on the downstream side of the water purifier 2 for purifying water such as tap water, and the water purifier 2 produces odorous components such as chlorine and chlorine in the tap water. To remove the alkaline ionized water and the acidic ionized water from the ionized water generator 1 without odor, and to supply the alkaline ionized water generated by the ionized water generator 1 to the alkaline ionized water supply passage 3 A pressure type water cooler 4 is provided in parallel with the alkaline ionized water supply passage 3 so as to pass water to the cooler 4 side and a state where water is passed to the alkaline ionized water supply passage 3 side parallel to the cooler 4. A switching valve 5 for switching to and is provided, and the alkaline ionized water to be drunk is chilled by the action of the switching valve 5 or brought to room temperature as needed. In such a case, if the ion water generator 1 is stopped, the purified water purified by the water purifier 2 is simply passed through the ion water generator 1, and the switching valve 5 acts to supply water at room temperature or cool water. Cold water is supplied by the vessel 4. Since the water cooler 4 is of the pressure type and not of the water storage type, it is possible to avoid the problems of the water storage type while removing components having a sterilizing function such as chlorine and chlorine in the water purifier 2. . That is,
By removing sterilizing components such as chlorine and chlorine by purification with the water purifier 2 and removing the sterilizing components in this way, it is possible to avoid the propagation of various bacteria in the ionized water.
An opening / closing valve 7 is provided in the acidic ion water supply passage 6 for supplying the acidic ion water generated by the ion water generator 1, and the operation of the opening / closing valve 7 supplies the acidic ion water as needed. Of. In this way, normal temperature alkaline ionized water, cold alkaline ionized water, normal temperature purified water, cold purified water, and acidic ionized water are satisfactorily supplied as needed. Then, the acidic ionized water may be drained.

As described above, the flow path variable throttle unit 8 is provided in the acidic ionized water supply channel 6, and the open / close valve 9 is provided upstream of the flow channel variable throttle unit 8. The flow rate variable throttle unit 8 is used to appropriately throttle the discharge amount of acidic ionized water, and in this way,
By appropriately reducing the discharge amount of acidic ionized water, the ionized water generator 1 is allowed to pass from the anode chamber through the porous partition wall to the cathode chamber and to be supplied with alkaline ionized water supplied from the ionized water generator 1. The ratio of the flow rate to the acidic ionized water is appropriately changed, and the partition wall is advected in this way to appropriately adjust the pH of the alkaline ionized water. That is, in the case where there is no variable flow passage restrictor 8, the conduit resistance on the side of the alkaline ionized water supply channel 3 in the water cooler 4 increases, so that it passes through the partition wall to the side of the anode chamber that produces acidic ionized water. Advection, the flow rate decreases on the side of the alkaline ionized water supply channel 3 and the amount of electrolyzed water per unit area of the electrode decreases, so that the electrolysis proceeds and the pH of the alkaline ionized water increases. By appropriately squeezing the side with the variable channel throttle unit 8, the amount of passing water in the anode chamber and the cathode chamber of the ion water generator 1 is made substantially equal, and the pH of the alkaline ionized water is appropriately adjusted. Make adjustments.

As described above, the flow channel variable throttle unit 8 is provided in the acidic ion water supply channel 6, and the discharge amount of the acidic ion water is appropriately reduced in the flow channel variable throttle unit 8 to discharge the acidic ion water in this manner. By appropriately squeezing the amount of water, the ratio of the amount of alkaline ionized water and acidic ionized water from the ionized water generator 1 can be changed appropriately, and the pH of the alkaline ionized water can be adjusted appropriately. is there.

Needless to say, the ion water supply system of the present invention can be applied to other equipment of the sink.
