The PH level of ionized water and alkaline ionized water is changed. This PH level is displayed by a plurality of light emitting diodes (not shown) connected to the electrolysis control circuit 26.

In the electrolytic ionized water generator as described above,
When the power source current from the AC power source 24 is supplied to the power source circuits 7 and 27, a voltage is applied from the power source circuit 27 to the power source display light emitting diode 32 connected to the output side thereof, and the light source diode 32 is lit and at the same time, As described above, the power supply voltage is also applied to the electrolysis control circuit 26 and the like.

While the power supply current is being supplied to the power supply circuits 7 and 27 as described above, the tap water tap is opened,
Supplying tap water to the electrolytic cell 1, if the flow rate is suitable positive <br/> range of that time, the flow rate determination circuit 9 determines this by the output of the flow sensor 8, the flow rate in the electrolysis control circuit 26 and it outputs a signal indicating that this is the proper positive range <br/>囲内. The output of the flow rate determination circuit 9 supplies a control signal from the electrolysis control circuit 26 to apply an electrolysis voltage to the power supply circuit 7. From the power supply circuit 7, the voltage set by the switch 31 is used as an electrolysis voltage for the electrode 5 , 6 are applied.

The flow rate of the supplied tap water as described above is not a substantially zero and when the outside suitable positive range, the electrolysis voltage is not applied as described, and the operating current is supplied to the alarm buzzer 37 , The light emitting diode 38 lights up to warn that the flow rate is too low or too high.

When the tap water is stopped by stopping the tap water, a voltage of opposite polarity is applied to the electrodes 5 and 6 as described above. When this voltage is applied, the output of the electrolysis control circuit 26 is used to display the cleaning mode. The light emitting diode 33 lights up, indicating that the surfaces of the electrodes 5 and 6 are being cleaned. The integrated value of the integrating circuit 13 is stored in the memory circuit 30 via the control circuit 26.

When the temperature of the electrolytic ion water producing device becomes higher than the set value due to long-term use during such an ion water producing operation, the overload detecting circuit 28 operates, and this operation causes an overload display. The light emitting diode 36 is turned on, and the electrolysis current supplied from the power supply circuit 7 to the electrodes 5 and 6 via the electrolysis control circuit 26 is cut off.

As described above, since the integrated value of the integrating circuit 13 is stored in the memory circuit 30, as described above, the tap of the tap water is closed to stop the water supply to this generator, and the output from the flow rate sensor 8 is output. When the data indicating the flow rate from the flow rate determination circuit 9 can be obtained even after the water is supplied again to the generator after the above is no longer obtained, the accumulated value accumulated up to that point is newly added. You can make a total.

Further, since the integrated value of the filter integrating circuit 29 is also stored in the memory circuit 30, as described above, the tap of the tap water is closed to stop the water supply to this generator, and the output from the flow rate sensor 8 is obtained. After that, even when tap water is supplied to the generator again, when the data indicating the flow rate from the flow rate determination circuit 9 can be obtained,
It is possible to newly add to the stored integrated value up to that point.

As described above, when the tap water supplied to this generator is stopped and the pulse signal output from the flow rate sensor 8 is no longer obtained, the integrated value of the integrating circuit 13 exceeds the set value. Then, the electrolysis control circuit 26 supplies the exciting current to the relay 10 as described above, the contacts 11 and 12 thereof are inverted, and the voltages of the opposite polarities are applied to the electrodes 5 and 6. In this state, the electrolysis control is performed. The timer provided in the circuit 26 continues for a predetermined time, but when tap water is supplied to the generator while the voltage of the opposite polarity is applied as described above, the flow rate determination circuit 9 outputs the tap water. is supplied to the electrolysis control circuit 26, the excitation current to the relay 10 is interrupted by the output indicating that the flow rate is within the proper positive range,

In this way, the positive polarity voltage is applied by supplying the tap water even when the reverse polarity voltage is applied, so that the acidic ionized water is supplied from the anode chamber 3 and the cathode chamber 4 is also supplied. Alkaline ionized water is obtained from the above, but as described above, the acidic ionized water and the alkaline ionized water are discharged from the anode chamber 3 and the cathode chamber 4 for a short time after the applied voltage is switched from the reverse polarity to the positive polarity. Water mixed with ionized water is obtained. In order to warn the user not to drink the water mixed with the mixed water, an operating current is supplied from the electrolytic control circuit 26 to the warning buzzer 37 during this period. It should be noted that by applying voltages of opposite polarities to the electrodes 5 and 6 as described above, not only the surfaces of the electrodes 5 and 6 are cleaned, but also the ion exchange efficiency is increased and the water intake path on the cathode chamber 4 side is improved. It can also be sterilized.

The flow sensor 8 described above is well known as a device that outputs a pulse signal having a frequency proportional to the amount of water flowing in the pipe, and is configured as follows, for example.

In this case, for example, an impeller rotated by a water flow is provided in a tube made of a nonmagnetic material, and the magnet is rotated by this impeller. A magnetic sensor including a coil or a Hall element that detects magnetism or a change in magnetism is provided outside the tube. By detecting the magnetism from the magnet with this magnetic sensor, a pulse signal having a frequency proportional to the flow rate can be obtained.

The position where the flow sensor 8 is provided is shown in FIG.
Not limited to the inlet of the drain chamber 18 as described above, a pipe on the side for taking out acidic ion water or alkaline ion water from the electrolytic cell 1 may be used.

In the above embodiment, when the integrated value of the integrating circuit 13 exceeds the set value and the signal from the flow rate judging circuit 9 indicating that the flow rate is substantially zero is output, Although the applied voltages to 5 and 6 are set to opposite polarities, when the integrated value of the integrating circuit 13 reaches the set value (there is an output from the flow rate determination circuit 9 indicating that the flow rate is within the proper range). However, it is also possible to apply a reverse polarity voltage and return it to the positive polarity voltage after the period set by the electrolysis control circuit 26.

In the above embodiment, when the integrated value of the integrating circuit 13 exceeds the set value and the signal from the flow rate determining circuit 9 indicating that the flow rate is substantially zero is output, the voltage applied to the 5 and 6 have been reversed polarity, the flow from the decision circuit 9, the output indicating that the flow rate is within the proper positive range is obtained, or a predetermined period after the output is cut off inner etc., that are filled with water to the electrolytic cell 1
And detection known, on condition that it has been detected, may be applied to reverse the polarity of the voltage by a manual operation. Even in the proper positive range the flow rate of tap water supplied to the apparatus is set, by leakage or pipe is clogged, the flow rate may vary abnormally. In order to detect this and give an alarm, an output pulse signal of the flow sensor proportional to the flow rate may be stored in a memory circuit and compared with a newly input output pulse signal of the flow sensor.
