DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention is constructed as described above, and FIG. 1A shows an external view of this apparatus. 15 super-oxidized water outlets are provided on the upper part of the device, and 20
Is a display unit on which switches and the like are arranged. The present invention will be described with reference to the basic functional block diagram of FIG.

Reference numeral 1 in the figure is a tap water supply unit for supplying tap water which is raw water. It is installed directly on the tap to supply tap water.

Reference numeral 2 is a first purifying section for adsorbing and deodorizing chlorine contained in tap water, which is a filter constituted by a cylindrical net. Activated carbon, activated carbon fibers, etc. are stored inside. Chlorine components contained in tap water are adsorbed by these activated carbons. The second purifying unit 14 has the same structure and is for adsorbing and deodorizing chlorine after electrolysis.

Reference numeral 3 is a start commanding means, which is turned on when super-oxidized water is produced. As a result, the device measures the conductivity of water obtained from the tap water supply unit 1 by the conductivity sensor 4 which is the first electric conductivity measuring unit.

The data obtained in 4 is temporarily stored in the storage means 5 of the B control unit. The control section B is composed of reference conductivity data storage means 6 and 7 for comparison calculation means, reference data storage means 12 and the like. Also, B
The control unit controls the electric leakage sensor 17 and the overturn sensor 18 and the earth leakage breaker 19 to shut off the electric leakage of the device at the time of the fall to protect the safety of the user.

Numeral 8 is a salt supply section, the details of which are shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, arrows indicate the flow of water, and 8 is a casing of the salt supply unit,
8a is a water supply port. The water entering from 8a passes through the salt unit of 8c containing the salt of 8e, and goes to the drain port of 8b.

The upper and lower ends of the unit 8c are covered with holes such as 8d or a net, and water passes through 8b while dissolving salts. After this, water with dissolved salts and water from tap water are mixed. Mixed water is 10
The conductivity is measured by a sensor, which is the second electric conductivity measuring means of.

The unit 8c for storing salts can be freely combined in the upper and lower directions. When the salt is insufficient, the unit can be removed to supply salts such as salt and rock salt.

The second conductivity data is stored in the memory device in the control unit of B and is compared with the above-mentioned reference conductivity data. When the salt is insufficient, the flow rate of the salt is controlled by a valve including a solenoid valve 9 and a butterfly valve 9 and the salt is again passed through the salt supply unit 8 to dissolve the salt.

When an aqueous solution of salt having an appropriate concentration is obtained, the aqueous solution goes to the electrolytic cell 13 and is electrolyzed into superoxidized water and alkaline water. In the case of the oxidizing water having the pH concentration of the user's desired value, the display device 17 lights up to notify the proper condition.

In order to display an appropriate state, the supply amount of salt is appropriately controlled, so the pH of the superoxidized water produced by electrolysis is calculated. However, in order to increase its accuracy, attach a pH sensor and
Data is obtained by measuring the H value. It is also possible to display the obtained data on a display device.

Since the electrolyzed super-oxidized water contains chlorine, its chlorine content is removed by the filter which is the second purifying section, and the super-oxidized water is supplied from the water outlet 15 to the outside of the apparatus. .

The flow of the present invention will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG. The start command means 3 commands at T1 whether to generate super-oxidized water. Immediately after receiving the order, P
The first electrical conductivity measuring means No. 1 measures the electrical conductivity of tap water.

This measurement is because the amount of salt contained in tap water varies because the tap water has different mineral content and chlorine concentration depending on the region. This conductivity is measured and compared with a reference conductivity.

At P2, the data obtained at P1 is temporarily stored in the storage device. Next, in P3, the reference conductivity data is called from the control device, and in P4, the value is compared by the comparison operation means of 7.

At P5, the amount of salt to be added is calculated based on the compared conductivity. The flow rate of water is calculated in P6 with respect to the calculated amount of salt, and the flow rate is controlled by a solenoid valve for flow rate adjustment.

At T2, it is confirmed whether the valve is fully opened or in an adjustable range with respect to the flow rate of water flowing to the salt supply section. If it is within the adjustable range, water flow to the salt supply unit of P7 is started as it is.

The water whose flow rate has been adjusted flows to the bypass and the salt supply portion and joins again. The combined water and the salt-mixed water is measured again by the second electric conductivity measuring sensor at P8, and the data is stored in the control unit B, and P
Similar to 4, the comparison operation means 7 makes a comparison.

The comparison is made at T3 and T4, and if the amount is appropriate, the process goes to P9 to start electrolysis in the electrolytic cell. If the measured value is more than the desired value at T3, the process goes to P15 and the water is discharged.

At T4, if the measured value is less than the desired value, the process goes to P5, the amount of water is adjusted, and the insufficient salt is added. If there is no salt to add, P
At 14, a display is provided to instruct the supply of salt.

For the aqueous salt solution which was carried out at P9, P10
At this point, energization to the electrolytic cell is started for electrolysis. When the electrolysis is started and after a lapse of a certain period of time, the super-oxidized water has a desired proper Ph (hydrogen ion concentration), the display lamp is turned on at P11. The user confirms the lighting of this lamp and uses it for washing food and tableware.

When the production of super-oxidized water is to be terminated, by selecting termination at T5, the energization of the electrolytic cell at P12 is stopped, then the indicator lamp goes out at P13, and the series of operations is completed. To do.

When not ending, if the user selects not ending at T5, the program goes to P9 to continue electrolysis.

[0041]

Industrial Applicability The present invention has the above-described structure and operation, and it is not necessary to produce an aqueous solution of salt having a predetermined concentration even when it is used in general households, and a tank for storing them. Since it does not require a pump or a pump, it has become smaller and the workability has been improved such that super-oxidized water can be taken out immediately when needed. In addition, chlorine deodorization is provided at two places as in the conventional case, and in particular, by installing a purification filter after the generation of super-oxidized water, it is possible to completely remove the unpleasant odor. Regarding the supply of salt, there is an effect that the unit can be easily removed by making the unit into a cartridge type, and the supply of salt can be performed quickly. From these things, it can be provided as a device that allows the user to easily and safely use super-oxidized water.
