Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improved electrolytic ionized water producing apparatus suitable for producing acidic water used as medical drinking water or beauty water by electrolyzing water.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Most of the raw water of tap water is river water or lake water called surface water, and groundwater is also used, but the pollution of the river water, lake water and groundwater is rapidly progressing. As a countermeasure, the raw water purification method to date must be improved, but it requires long-term research and enormous cost. Also, in a water purification plant that supplies raw water as drinking water, chlorine is disinfected for the reason of sterilizing and cleaning the water, but chlorine reacts with organic substances in the water,
It has been reported that organic substances such as chloroform and trihalomethane are produced, and they are reported to be the causative agents of cancer. Since the secondary pollution due to this chlorine disinfection has become a problem, the Environmental Agency has set the measurement standard for trihalomethane as 100 μg.

Looking at the status of water purification methods in foreign countries, for example, in the United States, many areas supply chlorine only by sterilization without surface sand filtration, and 30% of the total water supply is chlorine. Supplied only by disinfection. In the case of Great Britain, the Thames River is the main source of tap water, but since it contains about 14% of sewage, plankton generation due to eutrophication is a problem. Of course, depending on the water purification method of tap water, a rapid filtration method for removing plankton based on slow filtration is adopted.

[0004] In addition, the British water supply system is also disinfected so that the flavor of the water is not impaired.
The chromiran disinfection method is adopted. The chlorimilan disinfection method uses sewage-mixed ammonia (artificial ammonia injection in the summer) and chlorine injection to generate chromilan and uses its disinfection effect. In this case, if chlorine disinfection is not carried out, the chlorine odor will disappear, and the above-mentioned secondary pollution by trihalomethane will also disappear, but chromylan production is easily affected by the water temperature, and the disinfection effect is not uniform. Other,
The water purification method in European countries is basically a slow filtration method, and since ozone treatment is frequently used as a disinfection method, there is no possibility of producing trihalomethanes.

[0005]

As described above, in the supply of city water and groundwater, various problems such as water source pollution, trace chemical substances (hazardous substances that adversely affect the human body), odor of water, etc. However, in the present situation where it is not possible to rely solely on water supply administration, it is indispensable for each household to obtain their own safe, delicious and healthy drinking water.

[0006] Regarding drinking water, it has been reported that human health has a correlation with the mineral balance contained in drinking water and is deeply related to diseases. In addition, from the results of a survey that examined the relationship between pH of water and longevity, the number of stroke deaths was reported to be high in households using acidic drinking water, and conversely, longevity in households using alkaline drinking water. There is.

As described above, it is well known that in the case of decomposition for medical purposes and the like, the electrolytically used cathode water (alkaline water) is used for drinking, and the anode water (acidic water) is used for other applications such as cosmetics. In order to obtain the cathode water used for drinking, conventionally, a system has been adopted in which an adding device is placed in front of the electrolytic cell and a desired additive is added to both the anode chamber and the cathode chamber. However, with this method, not only (+) minerals but also (-) minerals or undissolved salts are added to the cathode water as additives, and it is possible to sufficiently add specific substances and ions for health purposes. could not.

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention firstly discloses in Japanese Patent Application No. 2-123.
No. 41 (Actual Kaihei No. 3-102295) treats the supply water such as tap water and groundwater based on the above-mentioned problems of the water purification method and the knowledge about it, thereby making the drinking delicious, safe and healthy. We have proposed an apparatus for producing healthy drinking water that can easily produce water at home.

FIG. 3 is a side view of the apparatus for producing healthy drinking water, and FIG. 4 is a flow chart thereof. In the figure, A is an adsorption treatment device using activated carbon that is filled with activated carbon to form a fixed bed, B is a microfilter formed by laminating fine porous materials, and C is for supplying mineral agents such as calcium and sodium. The mineral adder D is an electrolytic cell for electrolyzing water to continuously generate alkaline ionized water and acidic water, which are sequentially connected by a water passage pipe.

As shown in FIG. 5, in the mineral adder C, a tank 2 containing a mineral agent is connected to an orifice 1 provided in a water passage pipe through a valve 3 so that the orifice is provided at the time of water passage. Due to the negative pressure generated, a structure in which the mineral agent in the tank is supplied to the water passage pipe is used. The mineral adder C is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 5, the mesh cylinder body 5 containing the mineral agent is housed in the tank 4 and is directed from the lower part to the upper part of the tank. The structure may be such that the mineral agent is supplied to the water through the mesh tubular body 5 by passing water through the mesh tubular body 5.

The electrolytic cell D is provided with a cathode 6 and a cathode chamber 7
And the anode chamber 9 provided with the anode 8 are independently formed so as to communicate with each other only by the diaphragm 10, and the cathode chamber 7 and the anode chamber 9 are respectively provided with an inlet and an outlet. It is used.

The outflow side of the adsorption treatment device A using activated carbon is connected to the inflow side of the microfilter B by a water passage pipe 11, and the outflow side of the microfilter B passes water through the orifice 1 of the mineral adder C. A water pipe 1 which is connected to the inflow side of the anode chamber 9 of the electrolytic cell D by a pipe 12 and is branched from the water pipe 12 reaching the mineral adder C.
3 is connected to the inflow side of the cathode chamber 7 of the electrolytic cell D.

When the apparatus for producing healthy drinking water having the above-mentioned structure is used, the inflow side water passage pipe 14 of the adsorption treatment device A using activated carbon is connected to the water faucet 15 via the connector 16. Then, when the tap water faucet 15 is opened, the tap water is adsorbed by the water pressure, and the adsorption treatment device A and the micro filter B are tapped.
Through the mineral adder C and sent to the electrolytic cell D.

Therefore, the tap water is the adsorber A using activated carbon.
In addition, microfilter B with a fine filter material undergoes a two-stage treatment by adsorption and filtration, and by this treatment, water pollutants and trace chemical substances (heavy metal chromium, zinc, organic mercury, cadmium, etc.), Escherichia coli, etc. Bacteria are removed. In particular, the adsorber A is effective in removing residual ammonia in tap water, and the microfilter B is effective in removing unfiltered plankton.

The water which has been subjected to the two-stage treatment of adsorption and filtration is supplied with a mineral agent of calcium carbonate or sodium carbonate from the mineral adder C before reaching the electrolytic cell D, and flows out to the electrolytic cell D as it is. .

In the electrolytic cell D, alkaline ionized water and acidic water are continuously produced by electrolytic decomposition of water and discharged to the outside through their respective outlets. Nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen are reduced. Cathode water (alkali ionized water) discharged from the electrolytic cell D is used as it is as drinking water,
Since most of the harmful substances contained in tap water have been removed from this drinking water obtained by the treatment as described above, it is safe, delicious and healthy drinking water containing mineral components.

By the way, it has been reported that health has a correlation with the mineral balance contained in drinking water and is deeply related to diseases. Also, regarding the relationship between pH and longevity, the number of stroke deaths depends on the use of acidic drinking water. It is reported from the survey results that the majority of households have long-lived people, and conversely the households that use alkaline drinking water have many long-lived people. According to this report, the content of mineral components in healthy and delicious water is as follows. Is the street. Ca-0.87Na ≧ 5.2 (mg / l) …… Healthy water Ca-0.87Na ≧ 2.0 (mg / l) …… Delicious water

On the other hand, the cathode water (alkaline ion water) and the anode water (acidic water) produced by the electrolyzed water producing apparatus are
It has been confirmed that the water molecule group (cluster) is smaller than that of the raw water, but there is also a report that the water with a small water molecule group (cluster) is tasted and mellow because it enters the taste bud cells. . The above-mentioned device is not limited to the mineral agent,
A wide range of other health agents may also be used.

As described above, according to the drinking water producing apparatus of the above-mentioned prior application, most of pollutants in water are removed, water clusters are small, and the pH value of the cathode water is alkaline. Since, as a constituent component, the mineral balance of calcium and sodium can be freely controlled, it is possible to obtain safe, delicious and healthy drinking water according to the properties of raw water.

However, even in the above-mentioned apparatus of the prior application, the following problems are still unsolved. First, it has been difficult to specifically increase the concentration of specific ions only in the obtained cathode water (drinking water) with the conventional electrolyzed water generator.
This point is insufficient even with the prior application device. The increase of the positive ions Ca ⁺⁺ , Mg ⁺⁺ , Na ⁺ , and K ^{+ in} the raw water due to the electrolysis due to the electrolysis is 10 times the concentration of the raw water.
It stays at about 30%. Further, with the conventional and prior devices, it is impossible to selectively perform electrophoresis on only specific ions. In order to migrate only specific ions, it is necessary to use an ion exchange membrane having selectivity, and it is technically impossible to increase only the specific ion concentration.

Further, in the apparatus of the above-mentioned prior application, the electrolytic cell D
If the period is long during the non-electrolysis (operation stop), there is a problem that mold is generated in the accumulated water in the addition tank of the mineral adder C and propagates. To prevent this, the accumulated water in the addition tank may be drained each time non-electrolysis is performed, but this is troublesome, time-consuming, and inconvenient.

An object of the present invention is to provide an electrolyzed ion water generator which can specifically increase the concentration of a specific ion by an additive and which is also effective in preventing mold growth of accumulated water in an addition tank. .

That is, it is controlled so that electrolysis is performed synchronously, and the obtained cathode water and anode water are supplied to the cathode chamber and the anode chamber of the electrolytic ion generator. At this time, the cathode water contains specific ions and migrates to the cathode chamber. Further, if the weak electrolysis of the ionization promoting electrolyzer is performed for a predetermined time when the electrolysis of the electrolytic ion water generator is stopped, it is possible to prevent the growth of mold in the accumulated water in the addition tank.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improved electrolytic ionized water generator suitable for increasing the concentration of specific ions in water.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Due to water pollution of city water supply sources and deterioration of groundwater quality, it is difficult to say that even water for supply is the most suitable water for safe drinks.
It is an era in which it is indispensable to obtain healthy drinking water for each family.

It is said that human health has a correlation with the balance of minerals contained in drinking water and is deeply associated with diseases. In other words, from the results of a study investigating the relationship between the pH of water and longevity, the number of stroke deaths was high in households using drinking water that leaned toward the acid side, and longevity in households using drinking water that leaned toward the alkaline side. It is said that there are many people.

It is well known that cathode water produced by electrolysis of an electrolytic ionized water generator is used for drinking and anode water is used for face washing and other cosmetics. In order to obtain the cathode water used for drinking, conventionally, a method has been adopted in which an adding device is placed in front of the electrolytic cell and a desired additive is added to at least one of the anode chamber and the cathode chamber. However, with this method, not only the optimum amount of minerals as an additive may be added but also undissolved salts may be added, so that active ions for health purposes may function sufficiently in water. could not.

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention firstly put in practice Kaihei 3-102.
In No. 295, based on the above-mentioned problems of the water purification method and knowledge about it, by pre-treating supply water such as tap water or ground water, drinking water that is delicious, safe and healthy can be easily used by ordinary households. We have proposed a device for producing healthy drinking water that can be made.

FIG. 3 is a side view of the apparatus for producing healthy drinking water, and FIG. 4 is a block diagram thereof. In the figure, A is an adsorption treatment device using activated carbon that is filled with activated carbon to form a fixed bed, B is a microfilter formed by laminating fine porous materials, and C is for supplying mineral agents such as calcium and sodium. , A mineral adder of D, is an electrolytic cell that electrolyzes water to continuously produce cathode water and anode water,
They are sequentially connected by water passage pipes.

As shown in FIG. 5, in the mineral adder C, a tank 2 containing a mineral agent is connected to an orifice 1 provided in a water passage pipe through a valve 3 so that the orifice is provided at the time of water passage. Due to the negative pressure generated, a structure in which the mineral agent in the tank is supplied to the water passage pipe is used. The mineral adder C is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 6, the mesh cylinder body 5 containing the mineral agent is housed in the tank 4 and is directed from the bottom to the top of the tank. The structure may be such that the mineral agent is supplied to the water through the mesh tubular body 5 by passing water through the mesh tubular body 5.

The electrolytic cell D is provided with a cathode 6 and a cathode chamber 7
And the anode chamber 9 provided with the anode 8 are independently formed so as to communicate with each other only by the diaphragm 10, and the cathode chamber 7 and the anode chamber 9 are respectively provided with an inlet and an outlet. It is used.

The outflow side of the adsorption treatment device A using activated carbon is connected to the inflow side of the microfilter B by a water passage pipe 11, and the outflow side of the microfilter B is connected to the water passage pipe 1.
2 is connected to the inflow side of the anode chamber 9 of the electrolytic cell D by a branch pipe passing through the orifice 1 of the mineral adder C,
A water pipe 13 branched from the water pipe 12 leading to the mineral adder C is connected to the inflow side of the cathode chamber 7 of the electrolytic cell D.

When the apparatus for producing healthy drinking water having the above-mentioned structure is used, the inflow side water passage pipe 14 of the adsorption treatment device A using activated carbon is connected to the water faucet 15 via the connector 16. Then, when the tap water faucet 15 is opened, the tap water is adsorbed by the water pressure, and the adsorption treatment device A and the micro filter B are tapped.
Through the mineral adder C and a part is sent to the electrolytic cell D.

Therefore, tap water is adsorbed by activated carbon A
In addition, the microfilter B with a fine filter material is subjected to a two-stage treatment by adsorption and filtration, and this treatment removes water pollutants / trace chemical substances, Escherichia coli, and other general bacteria. In particular, the adsorber A is effective in removing residual ammonia in tap water, and the microfilter B is effective in removing unfiltered plankton.

Before reaching the electrolytic cell D, mineral water, such as calcium carbonate or sodium carbonate, is supplied to the water which has been subjected to the two-stage treatment of adsorption and filtration.
It flows into the electrolytic cell D.

In the electrolytic cell D, cathodic water and anodic water are continuously produced by electrolysis of water, and the cathodic water and the anodic water are discharged to the outside through their respective outlets. Cathode water discharged from the electrolytic cell D is used as drinking water as it is. However, most of the harmful substances contained in tap water are removed from this drinking water obtained by the treatment as described above and desired minerals are also contained. As it contains, it is safe, tasty and healthy drinking water.

By the way, it has been reported that there is a correlation between the mineral balance contained in healthy drinking water and a deep relationship with diseases. Regarding the relationship between pH and longevity, it is reported from the survey results that the number of stroke deaths is high in households using acidic drinking water, and conversely, the longevity is high in households using alkaline drinking water. According to this report
The mineral content of healthy and delicious water is as follows. Ca-0.87Na≥5.2 (mg / l) ... water suitable for health Ca-0.87Na≥2.0 (mg / l) ... delicious water

On the other hand, it has been confirmed that the cathode water and the anode water produced by the electrolyzed water producing apparatus have a water molecule group (cluster) smaller than that of the raw water. There are also reports that it is delicious and mellow because it is easier to enter. In addition, in the above-mentioned apparatus, the medicine to be put into the mineral adder C is not limited to the mineral medicine, and other health medicines can be widely used.

As described above, according to the drinking water producing apparatus of the above-mentioned prior application, most of the pollutants in the water are removed, the water clusters are small, and the pH value of the cathode water is alkaline. Since, as a constituent component, the mineral balance of calcium and sodium can be freely controlled, it is possible to obtain safe, delicious and healthy drinking water according to the properties of raw water.

[0017]

However, even in the above-mentioned apparatus of the prior application, the following problems still remain unsolved. First, it has been difficult for the conventional electrolyzed water generator to specifically increase the concentration of specific ions only in the obtained cathode water. This point is insufficient even with the prior application device.
Cation ion of raw water, Ca ⁺⁺ , Mg ⁺⁺ , Na ⁺ , K ⁺
The increase due to electrophoresis due to the electrolysis of 10% is about 10 to 30% of the concentration of the raw water. Further, with the conventional and prior devices, it is impossible to selectively perform electrophoresis on only specific ions. In order to migrate only specific ions, it is necessary to provide selectivity with an ion exchange membrane or the like, and it is difficult to increase the specific ion concentration alone.

Further, in the apparatus of the above-mentioned prior application, the electrolytic cell D
If the period is long during the non-electrolysis (operation stop), there is a problem that mold is generated in the accumulated water in the addition tank of the mineral adder C and propagates. To prevent this, the accumulated water in the addition tank may be drained each time non-electrolysis is performed, but this is troublesome, time-consuming, and inconvenient.

An object of the present invention is to provide an electrolytic ionized water producing apparatus which can specifically increase the concentration of a specific ion by an additive and which is also effective in preventing mold growth of accumulated water in an addition tank. .

[0020]

In order to achieve the above object, an electrolytic ion water generator of the present invention relates to an electrolyzer for promoting ionization, an electrolytic ion water generator, and electrolysis of an electrolytic ion water generator. Control means for performing electrolysis of the ionization promoting electrolyzer, the ionization promoting electrolyzer has an addition tank to which a predetermined additive is supplied, and the anode water and the cathode water generated in the tank are supplied. The gist is that it is configured to supply to the anode chamber and the cathode chamber of the electrolytic ion water generator, respectively.

[0021]

[Function] In the electrolytic device for promoting ionization, a predetermined additive is added, and in connection with the electrolysis of the electrolytic ion water generator,

At this time, the cathode water contains many specific ions. Further, when the electrolysis of the electrolytic ion water generator is stopped, the weak electrolysis of the ionization promoting electrolyzer is performed for a predetermined time to prevent the growth of mold in the accumulated water in the addition tank.

The ionization promoting electrolyzer 21 includes, for example, an anode 21 made of a conductive member substantially at the center of a cathode 21b made of a conductor attached to the inner surface of an electrically insulating cylindrical container body.
d is suspended, and is a cylindrical partition 21 surrounding the anode 21d.
C constitutes the anode chamber 21D. A lid 21f on the bottom of the anode chamber
And the additive 21i enters. The bottom of the anode chamber serves as the addition tank 21a. The weak current for performing the weak electrolysis for promoting ionization is appropriately selected depending on the distance between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, the presence or absence of the additive 21i, and the like.

When the electrolysis of the electrolytic ion water generator 22 is stopped,
When the control unit 23 controls the ionization promoting electrolyzer 21 to perform weak electrolysis for a predetermined time, it is possible to prevent the growth of mold in the accumulated water in the ionization promoting electrolyzer 21. That is, if the stored water is subjected to weak electrolysis, a product having a sterilizing effect such as oxygen and hypochlorous acid at the time of generation can be obtained depending on the amount of electrolysis, so that the growth of mold can be prevented.
