The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments of the drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

The apparatus main body 1 and the electrode portion 2 of the present invention are separately formed, and the apparatus main body portion 1 is provided with a power source portion 11, a switch portion 12 and a timer portion 13, and the electrode portion 2 has three parts. Book electrode rods 21, 22, 23 are provided.

The apparatus main body 1 and the electrode portion 2 are connected by an electric cord 3, and the length and form of the electric cord 3 are appropriately selected.

The three electrode rods 21, 22 and 23 are constructed so that they can be detached from the mounting rod 24 by appropriate means such as screwing. An example of the screwing form is a means of forming a male screw at the tip of the mounting rod and forming a female screw at the corresponding position of the electrode rod.

Next, how to use the device of the present invention will be described. The electrode rods 21, 22 and 23 are inserted into water in a container containing water (referred to as "water container").

At this time, the electrode rod may be held by leaning against the inner wall of the water container 25, but preferably the thin plate 26 made of synthetic resin shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 is used as a holding mechanism. Then, the thin plate 26 stably supports the entire electrode portion 2 on the water container, which is easy to use.

If the thin plate 26 is formed of a transparent synthetic resin plate, the inside of the water container 25 can be seen through, and at the same time it is excellent in strength and easy to use, and its planar shape is preferably formed in conformity with the planar shape of the water container. In the embodiment of FIG. 9, a storage hole portion 28 for storing the neck portion of the electrode rod or the vicinity of the mounting rod is formed in the back of the slit portion 27.

To use this embodiment, the slit portion 27 is bent to widen the opening width of the slit portion, and in this state, it passes through an electrode rod or a mounting rod thicker than the widening width of the slit portion. Then, the electrode rod is introduced into the storage hole portion 28, and when the screw bending of the slit portion 27 is returned to the original state, the opening width of the slit portion 27 becomes narrow, so that the electrode rod is inadvertently stored in the storage hole portion. It is possible to prevent the thin plate 26 from coming out of the portion 28, and as a result, to secure the combined state of the thin plate 26 and the electrode portion 2.

In this case, it is preferable that the electrode rods 21, 22, 23 or the mounting rods 24 are arranged in a simple and reliable manner in the storage holes 28, that is, in a straight line (see FIGS. 1 to 3). ).

As another example of the holding mechanism, FIG.
And an wing-like body 29 that can be opened and closed as shown in FIG. 13 is formed in a part of the electrode part 2, and when used, the wing-like body is centered on a rotation shaft (not shown) provided near the upper end of the wing-like body 29 Is opened horizontally, and the lower surface of the wing-like body is locked to the upper end of the water container 25 to stably support the electrode portion 2. On the other hand, when not in use, the wing-like body 29 can be vertically closed and neatly stored in the side wall of the electrode part 2.

Next, the method for producing reduced water of the present invention will be described. First, when the apparatus is used, the mineral ore 30 prepared in advance is placed in the water container 25, and the mineral content of the mineral ore 30 is submerged in water. Be prepared to melt into As this mineral ore, an ore called Ikuo stone is particularly suitable, and if necessary, it may be housed in a case 31 and a window 32 may be formed in this case 31.

Still another embodiment of the present invention (see FIG. 16)
Then, the extension electrode rod 33 was connected to one electrode rod 23.
In this embodiment, since the electrode rod 23 on the side of the ground electrode is extended, the electrode rod 23 is extended by the extension electrode rod 33, and the pedestal plate 34 can be attached further to the extension electrode rod 33. In this case, the pedestal plate 34 can be used as a support pedestal for the electrode portion 2 or a mounting table for the mineral ore 30.

In this state, a high frequency alternating current is applied to two of the three electrode rods which are stably supported in the water container 25, and a direct current is applied to the remaining one electrode from the two electrodes. The water in the water container.

Here, when the electrode rod 23 is extended, a direct current generated from the other electrode rods 21 and 22 flows relatively evenly throughout the water in the water container.
As a result, there is an effect that the water regulating action is not biased and can be performed efficiently.

The three materials of the electrode rod are preferably zinc, magnesium and stainless steel, for example, but other metals can be used. Zinc and magnesium are active ingredients necessary for the human body, but when the active ingredients dissolve in water, they are characterized by enriching the essential minerals of water.

The operation will be described in detail below.
When a high frequency AC generated by a high frequency oscillator (not shown) of about KHz is applied to the two electrode rods 21 and 22, a gap between the electrode rod 21 and the electrode rod 23 and a gap between the electrode rod 22 and the electrode rod 23 are generated. A direct current alternately flows due to the rectifying action of water.

As a result, foaming occurs in water within a few minutes, electrons flow to the ground side through the electrode rod 23, and the standard oxidation-reduction potential of water is, for example, from +300 mV to −20 in several hours.
Reduced to 0 mV to -300 mV, reduced water is obtained.

The switch section 12 is for turning on / off the power of the apparatus main body section 1, and the timer section 13 is for adjusting the operation time of the main body section 1. Normally, the adjustment can be carried out for about 5 to 30 minutes. Has become.

Experimental Example 1.2 liters of tap water from Tsuchiura City, Ibaraki Prefecture The redox potential was +436 mV. This water was conditioned with DC 12V and 300 mA. 100 g of mineral ore was used. Results (Treatment time) (Oxidation-reduction potential) 5 minutes -120 mV 10 minutes -162 mV 15 minutes -185 mV 20 minutes -272 mV 30 minutes -357 mV

[0033]

As described above, according to the present invention, the whole is a compact type that is convenient to carry, can be easily stored in a handbag or an attache case, and can be brought to an outing place or a travel destination to easily make mineral reduced water. This makes it possible to cope with both small and large water container volumes. In particular, if the size is such that it can be used for PET bottles, the usability at home will be significantly improved.

At this time, since the electrode rod in the water container is stably supported by the holding mechanism, the ease of use of the apparatus is remarkably improved, and valuable mineral-reduced water can be produced safely and reliably. is there.

Further, since the electrode rod can be easily removed from the electrode portion, it is effective not only to replace the consumable electrode rod but also to easily clean the electrode portion. Furthermore, the production method of the present invention is characterized in that it is possible to efficiently and reliably obtain mineral-reduced water, which was difficult to obtain conventionally.
