Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for producing tourmaline treated water, which efficiently produces useful treated water utilizing its physical properties by contacting and passing tourmaline ore ("tourmaline"). The present invention relates to a device and a bathtub water circulation device provided with the device.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Tourmaline, which is a polar crystal, is also called "tourmaline". When pressure is applied to a crystal, a voltage is generated (piezoelectric or piezoelectric), and when temperature changes, a charge is generated on the surface. (Current collecting, pyroelectric) have physical properties.

[0003] Such Tourmaline is discharged when touching the water causing some of the electrolysis of water surrounding water molecules and hydrogen ions (H ⁺⁾ and hydroxide ions - is separated into ^(OH). The hydrogen ions are attracted to the negative electrode, receive electrons emitted from the negative electrode, become hydrogen gas, and weakly alkalize water. On the other hand, hydroxide ions bind to surrounding water molecules to form hydroxyl ions (H ₃
O ₂ ⁻ ) is converted into a negative ion which is a surface active substance.

Also, tourmaline has an effect of eluting minerals such as silicon (Si), boron (B), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe) and calcium (Ca), which are useful elements for the human body. It is also said that there is an effect of reducing the so-called water cluster, which further reduces the group of water molecules.

From these characteristics, when water contact-treated with tourmaline is used as drinking water or bathing water, it promotes blood circulation, activates metabolism, activates cells, stabilizes emotions, has a sedative effect, Benefits that are beneficial to the human body, such as purification or thermal effects, are widely known.

8, JP-A-4-145194, JP-A-5-15872,
The disclosure is made in JP-A-5-64787, JP-A-6-86799, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-45593, and Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 4-45594. Most of these are simply immersed in the bottom of the bathtub water, or those in which a container filled with tourmaline is placed in the middle of the stream and brought into contact, and the state and arrangement of tourmaline are Although various ideas have been devised, the point is that tourmaline or its contents are placed in the natural convection of bath water or in the flow of a pipe, and are simply flowed in contact.

[0007]

In the case of tourmaline, which is a polar crystal, the arrangement of the two electrodes is in an unstable state deviated from the original position, so that electrons continuously flow from the minus electrode toward the plus electrode. In other words, since it is in a state of being charged with static electricity, it continues to supply a weak current even when it comes into contact with water, and it has been considered that some effects can be expected even with the above-mentioned method.

However, it is difficult to make the treated water having the above-mentioned effect simply by contacting and passing the tourmaline in a stationary state with water, and the present effect is not as high as expected. Was.

In view of this, the present invention focuses on this point, and by applying a repetitive pressing force to tourmaline to make the piezo effect more active, efficient supply of current to contact water is achieved. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for producing tourmaline treated water for treating the water, and a bath tub water circulation apparatus provided with the same.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is configured as follows. The method for producing tourmaline treated water is to send the water to be treated through a pressure-resistant container filled with tourmaline in a state that allows contact water flow.

Obsidian, tourmaline, activated carbon, barley stone, and other minerals with high irradiation efficiency of far-infrared rays, one or a combination of two or more, or a combination of sintered bodies containing these, It is also possible to repeatedly pressurize the inside of the pressure-resistant container at predetermined time intervals while sequentially feeding the pressure-resistant container filled in a possible state with the pressure-resistant container arranged in series in a plurality of stages.

[0012] Further, the water sent in the pressure vessel may be circulated and sent again in the pressure vessel. As an apparatus for realizing the method for producing the tourmaline treated water, a water storage tank, a pressurizing pump piped from the water storage tank, a pipe from the pump, filled with tourmaline in a state capable of contacting and flowing water inside. And a water stopping means arranged in the middle of the pipeline from the pressure-resistant container to the water storage tank and repeatedly operated at predetermined time intervals.

[0013] In addition, quartz (quartz), obsidian,
Tourmaline, activated carbon, barley stone, and other minerals with high irradiation efficiency of far-infrared rays, which can be made to pass through one or a combination of two or more of them, or a combination with a sintered body containing these A configuration in which pressure-resistant containers filled in a state are piped in series in one or more stages may be adopted.

As a configuration example of the water stopping means, preferably, the ball valve is driven and rotated at a predetermined speed in the same direction. Further, by replacing the water storage tank with a bath tub in which bath water is stored, it is possible to provide a bath tub water circulation device having a device for producing tourmaline treated water.

[0015]

With the above structure, the pressurizing pump and the water stopping means for repeatedly operating at predetermined time intervals are combined, so that tourmaline filled in the pressure-resistant container is subjected to the repetitive pressing force repeated at predetermined time intervals. The piezo electricity is generated efficiently.
As a result, the water to be treated that has come into contact with the water is efficiently changed to treated tourmaline water.

When the water stopping means is a motor driven ball valve, the repetition frequency is appropriately set by varying the number of revolutions of the motor.
