Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an ion water generator capable of keeping the distance between a diaphragm and an anode plate and the distance between a diaphragm and a cathode plate always equal.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, ion water generators have been provided for electrolyzing water to generate acidic ionized water and alkaline ionized water. The ion water generator generally divides the inside of the main body into two regions with a diaphragm, and a plate is arranged in each region. When one is the electrode plate of the anode, acidic ionized water is generated from the region where the electrode plate of the anode is arranged, and when the other is the electrode plate of the cathode, alkaline ionized water is generated from the region where the electrode plate of the cathode is arranged. Is generated.

Since the diaphragm divides the inside of the main body of the ion water generator into two regions, its height is generally higher than the height of the water contained in the internal space of the main body, and its width is the inside of the main body. It is close to the width of the space. Since the diaphragm is made of a flexible material, it is conventionally supported by a supporting member made of a synthetic resin that does not affect electrolysis. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the support member 70 has a lattice shape having a space 72 of several centimeters square, and the support member 70 is formed with a diaphragm 74 sandwiched between its left and right sides.

[0004]

The diaphragm 74 has a small shrinkage, but the supporting member 70 made of synthetic resin has a high shrinkage, so that the supporting member 70 contracts after the molding and the diaphragm 74 sags. There is a drawback that the diaphragm 74 is biased to one region side for each space 72. Since the distance between the diaphragm and the anode plate or the cathode plate is generally about several millimeters, for example, the diaphragm has a thickness of 0.
Even if it is deviated by about 5 to 1 mm, the flow rate to each region changes and the electrolytic strength of each region also changes, so that there is a drawback that good acidic ion water or alkaline ion water cannot be obtained.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and the distance between the diaphragm and the anode plate and the distance between the diaphragm and the cathode plate are always kept equal at any position. An object of the present invention is to provide an ion water generator capable of obtaining good acidic ion water or alkaline ion water.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention divides the inside of the main body into two regions for containing water by a diaphragm, and arranges the first electrode plate in one region and the other region. A second electrode plate in the region of, in the ion water generator that electrolyzes water with one of the electrode plates as the anode and the other as the cathode, a plurality of holes are formed in the diaphragm, and the holes of the diaphragm are formed. Through holes are formed at the positions of the corresponding first and second plates, respectively, and a first spacer is sandwiched between the diaphragm and the first plate, and a second spacer is formed between the diaphragm and the second plate. Sandwiching the first spacer and the second spacer have the same width, the fixing means that passes through the through hole of the first electrode plate, the hole of the diaphragm and the through hole of the second electrode plate, and the first electrode plate and the diaphragm. The second electrode plate is fixed.

[0007]

The first electrode plate, the first spacer, the diaphragm, the second spacer, and the second electrode plate are arranged in this order, and they are fixed by the fixing means. Moreover, the spacer and the diaphragm between the diaphragm and the first electrode plate. And the spacer between the second electrode plate and the second electrode plate have the same length. As a result, the distance between the diaphragm and the anode plate and the distance between the diaphragm and the cathode plate can be made equal at any position.
